ASTORIA. OREGON:
SATUKD AY SEPTEMBER 2C. 18S5
If there is any just reason "why
Washington territory should not
be admitted into the Union, it is
in order to advance it.
The only newspaper man in
Baker City wants to sell his cook
ing stove. He's playing in big
luck to have a cooking stove to
sell.
Just before his death. Emory Storrs,
the great Chicago lawyer, accepted
a retainer to defend Mormonism.
Walla Walla Union.
God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform.
The cabinet has been discussing
the silver question,"but took no def
inite action,"the dispatches say. As
the law commands the coinage of
two millions of silver every month,
and the cabinet can't change the
the law, it isn't easy to see what
"definite action" conld be taken,
except to go on with the coinage.

The venerable statesman, Ho
ratio Seymour, has an article on
Grant in the October number of
the North American JReview. It
is probably the shortest article
ever written for any review in the
world. Here it is:
"While I was not intimate with
Gen. Grant, we were always upon
pleasant terms. I held him in
high regard. His words on his
death-bed, like his deeds upon
battle-fields, served his country.
They strengthened our Union by
promoting good will between all
sections. Hokatio Seymour."
Refined silver is quoted at
twenty-one per cent discount.
This is the lowest point the metal
has touched so far. But the silver
dollar buys as much as ever. So
long as the credit of the govern
ment is behind the coin its pur
chasing power will not be affected
by its bullion value. The green
back dollar is -worth intrinsicalby
only the paper it is printed upon,
yet with the government stamp
upon it it is as good as a gold dol
lar to the man who has it to spend.
Florida furnishes the remarka
ble instance of a man declining an
office with a fat salary attached.
The Hon. J. G. Sinclair has
declined the tender of the
position of the receiver of
the public lands for Florida, for
the reason that he "cannot afford
to give up his own personal busi
ness for a salary of S4,o00 per an
num." There is no fear, however,
that the office will go begging, as
Florida is not altogether barren of
patriotic Democrats willing to
serve their country for over $12 a
day, Sundays included.
It is not at all probable that
Bismarck dreams of so crazy a
project as obtaining possession of
Cuba, but if there is the least
foundation for the report that he
has such a scheme, then the chan
cellor is growing reckless in his
old age. The queen of the An
tilles will pass into the hands of
new European masters only when
the power of the United States
shall have been broken. Spain
may be allowed to keep the beau
tiful island for a time, but when
Spanish rule ends, independence
must follow.
Sax Fbaxcisco shippers have
begun to figure on the quantity
of Pacific coast wheat there will
be for export. A statement was
sent to England two weeks ago
that the quantity would not ex
ceed 403,000 tons, or say 14,500,
000 bushels. Conservative dealers
unhesitatingly state that this esti
mate is entirety erroneous. They
figure as follews: This Tear's crop
is 23,000,000 bushels. Carry over
' from last year 10,000,000, and the
total quantit' of wheat in Califor
nia and Oregon at this time is 33.
000,000 bushels. Deduct what is
required for local uses and seed
ing and there will remain 800,000
tons, or say 20,000,000 bushels
available for export. This includes
Oregon wheat, estimated at 3,000
000 bushels for export. As much of
the California grain is still in the
field, no one has any positive
knowledge of the actual quantity
on hand.
General Alyensleben, the
representative of Germany at the
French military maneuvers, "con
gratulated the officers and men
several times on the celerity of
their movements." but he was
probable thinking all the while of
the rapidity with which the French
men crossed the Prussian frontier
once,notmanyyearsago,and of the
much greater celerity of their re
turn. France has certainly amuch
better and more effective military
equipment than that with which
she so rashly opened the campaign
that led to the humiliation at S
dan and the siege of Paris; yet
there has been no relaxation of the
efforts which made the German
army the most perfect and effect
ive in the world, and it is not like
ly that anything seen by Alvensle
ben in his visit to the French
camps excited apprehension that
the "revenge" for which every
true Gaul is sighing can be
achieved in the lifetime of this
generation.
The determination of Mr. Ev
arts that he will not be a candidate
for the governorship of New
York, will excite some surprise
unless it shall appear that the rea
son of the resolve is to be found
in consciousness of his inability to
get the nomination. Possibly Mr.
Evarts may have doubts about his
electiou if nominated, but that is
a wholly improbable theory. The
statesmen who are not confident
in the sufficiency of their popular
ity to carry them through, even
where the chances seem most dis
couraging, are not numerous, and
Mr. Evarts is not suspected of
lack of self appreciation. The of
fice of governor ot New York is a
tempting one for any man who
has presidential aspirations, for in
the existing state of parties that
state has something like a casting
vote in national contests, and the
recent transfer of Mr. Cleveland
from the state capitol to the
White house is an incident highly
inspiring and suggestive so much
so that the state election with Mr.
Evarts in the field as a candidate
would certainly be an affair of na
tional interest.
Below El Paso, for some fif
teen miles down, the course of
the Rio Grande has for the last
few months undermined the banks
on the American 'side at a great
rate, so much so that flourishing
farms, orchards and vineyards are
disappearing, to the great alarm
of their American owners. What
the United States loses by this
abrasure of territory, Mexico of
course, gains. The county author
ities are afraid the loss will be
come so heavy that it will after a
while affect the sum total of taxes
collected from riparian proprietors,
and they are deliberating as to
what is best to be done in this
emergency. An effort will prob
ably be made at the next session
of congress to get federal aid in
the premises, so that levees and
the bank revetment can be erect
ed. The Rio Grande is becom
ing more uncertain and eccentric
than ever. For some sixty or sev
enty miles below El Paso there
are a good many islands in the
river, and large ranches contigu
ous to it have changed their na
tionality under the treaty of Gau-
daloupe Hidalgo a number of
times, transferring themselves after
passing a few years in Mexico to
the Texas side of the boundary,
and then, becoming disgusted with
cowboy civilization, returning to
the Mexican side. There is now
an international dispute respect
ing the dominion over a large isl
and, which cannot be settled until
a more definite establishment of
the boundary.
