ASTORIA. OREGON:
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21. 1SS5
Thk appointment of Roby to
the Portland postmastership occa
sions "Hints from Horace," sup
plementary to Byron's, on the
part of the Orcgonian.
Tiie editor of the Sunday
Welcome is an "offensive parti
san." He says: "it is the highest
duty of every Democratic senator
to resign and thereby protect the
property of the state."
Alleged frauds in Columbus
and Cincinnati, Ohio, retard the
final count. The dispatches state
that in Columbus, in one ward
300 tallies had been added to the
Democratic ticket, and in Cincin
nati, 200 tallies had been added to
the Democratic ticket. Those
who are interested in "a free bal
lot and a fair count," evince de
termination to see the matter
through.
A dispatch from Pittsburg
gives details of a plan which is
said to be on foot between a num
ber of capitalists in Pittsburg and
New York. The scheme is to
carry the natural gas in the neigh
borhood of Pittsburg through large
pipes to Philadelphia and New
Yoik, and perhaps other cities, to
be used for fuel and illuminating
purposes. It is also in contem
plation, hy the use of a series of
tanks, to furnish this gas for fuel
in the running of railroad trains.
The projectors believe that one
filling of the tanks will carry a
train from Pittsburg to Philadel
phia and return.
Postal clerks and postmen in
Arabia must have a great deal of
time to spare if they can read the
full directions on the letters placed
in their hands. A writer in the
Berlin Tagcblatt gives the follow
ing specimen address on a letter
directed to him. "In the name
of the merciful God, the benefi
cent. This writing is from one
who serves his Lord, from X, the
son of X; and if God wills it will
set into the hands of our friend
Sidi Musa, the son of Hamdalla,
the Prussian, the Christian, in the
city of Tharabolos, Tripoli, the
illustrious, the famous."
The agent at the Fort Belknap
Indian reservation in northern
Montana, has informed the interior
department that a number of Cree
Indians, refugees from the British
possessions, have crossed the line
into the, reservation, having in
their possession silverware and ar
ticles of ladies' apparel, supposed
to have been captured during the
Big Bear outbreak. The agent
requested that these intruders be
escorted across the line and forbid
den to enter the United States.
The matter was referred to the
secretary of state, who has replied
that these Indians cannot be ar
rested, except upon extradition by
the British authorities, and that
this government should not coun
tenance any kidnapping of Indians.
The interior department is at a
loss to know how the dangorous
refugees can be removed, under
the circumstances.
A' writer in -Harper a 2faga
chie, for November, treating of
"The Defence of our Sea-ports,"
points out that in nine of our sea
board cities alone property valued
at $3,322,000,000 is exposed to
destruction in case of war, because
of our lack of sea coast defences
adequate to cope with the navies
of the fighting powers. He
sketches the remarkable develop
ment of ordnance and armor since
our war, stimulated in a large
measure by its lessons, but in
which we have had no part. The
new English guns throw a shot of
2,000 pounds, penetrating 30
inches of iron at a distance of a
thousand yards, and have an
effective range of six rlliles. The
writer urges that immediate pro
vision should be made for an ex
tensive torpedo outfit, for gun fac
tories . capable of producing the
modern guns, and for a gener
al system of coast defence, at an
expenditure of ten millions a year
for six or seven years.
-
The remaining state elections
of the year are not numerous and
except in New York state, are un
important. Arkansas will elect, at
a special election to be held on
Tuesday, November 10th, an asso
ciate justice of the supreme court
to fill the unexpired term of the
Hon. J. R. Eakin, deceased.
Colorado will elect on Tuesday,
November 3d, a judge of its su
preme court. Connecticut will
elect on the same day one half of
its state senate for one year only
and the members of its house of
representatives. On Novembr 3d,
Iowa will elect governor and
other state officers and legislature.
Maryland will elect controller
and clerk of the court of appeals
Massachusetts will elect Governor
and other state officers and legis
lature, and vote upon a proposed
amendment to the constitution of
the state providing for precinct
voting in towns. Mississippi will
elect governor and other state
officers and legislature. Nebraska
will elect supreme judge and reg
ents of the state university. New
Jersey will elect part of its senate
and the assembly. New York will
elect governor and the other state
officers, five iustices of the
j j
supreme court, and both branches
of the legislature. Pennsylvania
will elect state treasurer. Vir
ginia will elect a governor, lieutenant-governor
and attorney-general
and legislature.
Says the Victoria Colenist:
"The Canadian Pacific railway is
now an accomplished fact. From
one shore of the continent to the
other the iron road stretches across
interminable plains, over magnifi
cent ruins, through savage passes,
I and up mountain ranges that were
unknown before the pioneers of
the line made their memorable sur
vey. From "Winnipeg to Calgary
the work was easy, but the line of
the railway from Calgary to Kam
loops must be regarded as one of
the engineering triumphs of the
world. For the first time in the
history of man the passage of the
Selkirk range has been made
as easy as that over Sal
isbury plain. The benefits
of this great undertaking to Can
ada will be inestimable. British
Columbia has now been joined to
the sister states. New "Westmin
ster is within a week of Ottawa.
The great timber supply of Puget
Sound; The Columbia fisheries;
the Alaska seal industries; the
products of Vancouver's island
have now a new and speedy out
let to the devouring east. The
population there now fear no
longer, in the same degree, their
want of coast defences. Within
seven days troops and artillery and
ammunition may reach them from
the military headquarters of the
dominion. Portions of Asia, too,
may find this new space of civili
zation a shorter and cheaper route
to European markets. This work
is a great monument to human
skill, courage and endurance. It
is the greatest work yet accom
plished by Canada, and we join
hands with our brothers across the
Atlantic in celebrating its comple
tion."
