ASTORIA. OREGON:
Fill DAY SEPTEMBER 11. 18S5
A soldier's generous tribute to a
companion leader is Gen. Sherman's
eulogy of Grant, delivered before the
annual reunion of the Army of the
Tennessee, at Chicago last Wednes
day night
If ague or insanity is latent in a
person it will almost always develop
itself at sea. So Dr. Fourness-Brice
concludes, after studying the subject,
as it is revealed in the records of
North Atlantic emigrant travel.
Lord Randolph Churchill says
if England went tocar with Russia
on the Afghan question it would
probably cost 250,000 lives and that
the war would not be confined to Asia
nor to the two nations originating it
He is in no hurry to start such a
fight.
The New York Times of the 9th,
says Treasurer Jordan is making sil
ver absolutely unpopular. As long
as the millions of standard dollars are
allowed io rest snugly in the vaults
of tho treasury, the people do not
care whether tho silver coinage act
is repealed now; but if he compels
one to take $5 or $10 in cartwheels,
he immediately becomes a rampant
anti-silver man.
There is a railroad from Tacoma
to Seattle but it is not in operation
On tho Sound it is popularly known
as tho orphan road. Part of it is
owned by the Oregon Improvement
company, part by the Oregon Trans
continental company and part by the
Northern Pacific. This mixed owner
ship raised questions of conflicting
interests and thus far no corporation
appears willing to adopt the road and
run it.
It is estimated that ther.o are 100,-
000,000 acres of laud on the Pacific
coast of the United States that are
especially adapted to wheat culture.
Of this, California has 25,000,000
acres, or one-fourth of the whole;
Oregon has 1S,000,000 acres; Wash
ington territory has 10,000,000 acres;
Colorado aud Idaho 10,000,000 each;
Montana, Ulah and Wyoming 7,000,
000 acres each, and the great bulk of
all this wheat laud yet lies un
touched. Professing itself iu eutiro sympa
thy with tho New York Herald's po
sition antagonizing silver, tho Buffa
lo Courier is still sufficiently well
informed concerning the situation to
say that "it is clear the Bland act
cannot be icpealed." "To the de
mand: 'The Bland act must go,' the
response is made: 'The Bland act
shall stay,' and those who say so are
the more numerous, tho more power
ful. They include nearly the whole
west and two-thirds of the south."
TnEtwiu cities of St Paul aud
Minneapolis are good examples of
what American goaheadativeness can
do. Manufactures, enterprise and
public spirit made them what they
are. They furnish models for other
communities more favored by nature
to note. In 18S5 St. Paul had 4,400
inhabitants; Minneapolis, 4,500; in
1SG0, St. Paul, 10,000; Minneapolis,
5,821; in 1SG5. St. Paul, 13,210; Min
neapolis S.70G; in 1870, St Paul, 20,
300; Minneapolis, 13,0CG; in 1875, St
Paul, 33,178; Minneapolis, 32,493; in
1880, St Paul, 41,498; Minneapolis,
40,887; in 1885, St Paul, 111,397; Min
neapolis, 129,200. Such growth is
unprecedented in civic history.
During eight centuries one's direct
ancestors amount to a far greater
number than would at first be con
templated. Taking three generations
to a century, one has father and
mother (2), grandparents (4), great
grandparents (S). At tho end of the
second century tho number of ances
tors springs to sixty-four. Following
the calculation, you will find that at
tho end of eight centuries ono has
descended from no less than 10,000,
000 ancestors. Intermarriage, of
course, would reduce this estimate,
and there is no doubt it must have
largely prevailed. But the figures
are so enormous that, in spite of all,
wo may venture to suggest that the
words, "All yo aro brethren," are lit
erally true.
Protests have been received at the
interior department for years against
tho abuses practiced by land grant
railroads, in tho cutting of timber
from public lands. Instead of cut
ting from their own sections as au
thorized, they have been in the habit
of cutting on tho alternate sections
belonging to tho government De
pots, huts and other road equipments
have been constructed from timber
which the grant intended should
only bo used in tho actual construc
tion of roads. To correct these ir
regular proceedings, Secretary La
mar lias directed that new regulations
shall be framed for his signature and
enforcement. Timber cutting will
bo only permitted on railroad sec
tions, and none of that will be al
lowed to co for line equipments. It
is also proposed to limit these priv
ileges to five years, but some of the
government officials have doubts of
tho secretary's power to set a limit
of time.
Tiie New York Herald recently
said that "gold is and always has
been in all civilized countries the one
trustworthy standard of value." Ac
cording to the Herald civilization is
a new condition. Even now it is
limited to a comparatively small por
tion of the earth's surface. Great
Britain, Germany, Holland and one
or two other European countries have
a monopoly of the article. Over the
rest of the world silver, or gold and
silver, is the civilized standard of
value. Just one hundred years ago
the continental congress declared
that the money unit of tho United
States should be a dollar containing
375.G4 grains of fine silver. The
amount of pure silver in tho dollar
has never been changed. When the
gold eagle was authorized it was
based upon tho silver dollar and in
the ratio established between tho two
metals made equal to ten silver dol
lars. Congress has never declared
the gold dollar the standard of value.
In 1873 the coinage of the silver dol
lar was discontinued without debate,
the reason then being apparent, in
the fact that at the then current price
of silver the dollar was worth more
as bullion than as coin. Considering
these facts, tho claim of the gold dol
lar to bo the dollar of civilization is
somewhat absurd.
Somebody has taken tho trouble of
counting up the executions, legal and
illegal, which have occured in this
country in tho first six mouths of tho
current year, and comparing them
with tho figures of 1SS4. It appears
that in 18S4 there were 193 lynchings,
an increase of nearly a hundred over
1883. But in half of 18S5 the number
was 99, of which 75 wero in tho
southern states and 21 in the north.
Texas has nearly a third of tho whole
number. In tho Mississippi valley
there were but three instauces in
which a mob "took tho law into their
own hands," and all of these in Ohio.
The popular feeling about horse-stealing
in some parts of tho coun try is
shown by tho fact that that crime
ranks next to murder as a provocative
to mob violence On the other hand,
there ha? been a marked decrease of
legal executions, only fo rty-two per
sons having been hanged by tho
sheriff in the above six months,
against a total of 123 last year. The
proposal of some philanthropists to
put an end to capital puishment
souuds funny in view of the exhibit
of public feeling on the question. The
oxisteucs of that penalty and the belief
in an adequate enforcement of the
law probably save3 as many lives
from mob violence as are taken in duo
course of the law.
