M fthc gattg gistorian. ASTORIA. OREGON: JJI)N IISDAY F EimUAKY 3. 1SSG Sixt i: October, 1SS3, Oregon is shipping more wheat than California. Ix the English markets wheat is .lower now than at any time in the last century. The Nevada legislators gleeful ly doscy the opening of the sena torial contest in the Silver state. The sack is in sight and official virtue is;quoted high. And so Queen Victoria, much as she dislikes Gladstone, has been obliged to send for the "grand old man" to make a cabinet for Eng land, lie is to-da-, virtually, king of Great Britain, and rules that country, not by descent, but by prescriptive right of genius. A max- who claims to know Gould well says that his detectives c '.t him more than all the clerks in his New York offices. He nev- r makes a lournev. even the shortest nowadays without first sending his scouts on ahead to dis cover if any obstacles are likely to he encountered. Accokdixg to the Philadelphia correspondent of the Times about -40,000,000 S,000,000 is annu ally .ent by the Irish in America to their relatives in Ireland, prin cipally at Christmas. This year their united amount was sufficient to affect the exchanges between America and Europe. Tin: Philadelphia Times insists that "the editor of a newspaper who i-; ready to accept public po sition thereby confesses his unfit ness for journalism.5" This is probably true; and yet it furnishes no reason why all editors should resolutely decline such positions. It frequently happens that a man who persists in trying to be an editor when nature never intended him for a career of that kind, might do fairly well as an attor ne', for instance. Tin: whaling fleet in Alaskan waters last ear numbered forty sailing vessels and eight steamers, with a total tonnage of 14,2G2 tons. One hundred and twenty six whales had been taken at latest accounts. In the fishing 'business n the north Pacific last summer, fourteen trips were made from San Francisco by twelve vessels, aggregating 2,500 tons. The fish taken in Alaskan waters numbered 922,000. The value of the catch was about lo0,000. This indus try lias been successfully prosecut ed hince lSGi. Tin: Daily Stockholder calls attention to the fact that since the agreement of 18S0 with the Pa cific Mail Steamship company, the amount paid as subsidy by the Union aud Central Pacific loads has been 7,030,000, an average of about 1,250,000 yearly equal to J2.10 per cent of the company's stocks. During the same period the company has paid dividends equal to over 38 per cent of its capital stock, or 1,750,000 in all. The SlortchoMa' asks the ques ques teon: "What would become of the stock if the subsidy of $83,000 per month was withdrawn? TiiEiu: are two extremes in na tional life liberalism and conserv atism. There are times when a nation feels the need of the one, times when she leels the need of the other. Therefore there will always be the need of parties, and there should always be the need. It is the same with charaeinr. There are times when it craves richness, times when it needs strength; and on every one rests the responsibilit' ol preserving the golden mean. Still, in prac tice, this is difficult; it islike walk ing a tight-rope. One is always leaning to one side or the other, balancing to preserve the equilibrium. daughter on the part of her father. The evidence is not all in, but from what is telegraphed and said it would appear as though ""Whackeen" was more sinned against than sinning. The girl is evidently destitute of moral prin ciple, and her father has proved his manly qualities on similar oc casions in the past. Years ago his divorced wife went around the country lecturing and on every occasion holding her former hus band up to ridicule and scorn. Yet when she lay friendless and dying he sought her out and kindly ministered to her last wants. Per haps the Pacific coast newspapers are a little too hard in slurring the man who is head and shoulders above most of the scribblers. Call off your dogs.
