C) ftc gattg iiirtorintt. ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20. 1SSG The Knights of Labor now num ber three million. The last presi dential election was decided by the votes of 521 men. It begins to look as though Postmaster Vilas has the idea that the postoflice department of this government is run for profit. Ax injunction suit brought in Portland to have the registry law declared unconstitutional, "was dismissed by Judge Stearns who decided there was no equity in the complaint presented. The case will be appealed to the supreme court forthwith. Tin; Tacoma fiedger directs at tention to the fact that the pro posed removal of the duty on coal if successful would bring the Brit ish Columbia coal into competition with the "Washington territory coal to the probable extinction of the business of mining the latter. Great Britain- has expended nearly 90,000,000 in permanent fortifications of new type in the last twent- years. France has de voted nearty as much to the same object, while Germany, with a shorter coast line than Massachu setts and having only six or seven important harbors, to defend, has planted $47,000,000 in her new system of coast defense since the close of the Franco-German war. Eager miners delving in the jrold fields of New South "Wales years ago discovered tin ores, but in the search for the yellow metal the baser metal was neglected. The mistake, however, has been discovered, and New South "Wales has stepped to the front as the chief source of the world's tin sup ply. Thirty-five million dollars' worth of the ore was exported last year. Astoria appears strangely dila tory in moving in aid of Congress man Hermann in his eflbrts in be half of securing an appropriation for continuance of improvement of Columbia river bar. The road is clear for those who wish to distin guish themselves in such efforts, and who viewed with jealous eye thn r(Trrtc rC f file noinr in flf nocl .,.,,,. . in kindred directions. Lome gen - , . , . . tlemen, stir yourselves, the winter is passing! "We stepped modestly aside a 3ear ago to render any jostling unnecessary. Or are you simply content with reproving zeal without emulating it. Every minute of the day seven ty human beings are brought into existence and sixty-seven are re moved, says a writer. The popu lation of the world is steadily increasing at the rate of three per minute, of ,320 per day, more than 1,500,000 per year. Just think of the yearly increase of man being equal to the entire popula tion of the Pacific coast. "Where do they all go? The home of the human race, so far as we are able to learn, was in Asia, and from there all the nations have come. The rapid increase of population in the United States shows the tendency of the race to sea' tor and seek new fields. There is a probability that the Fitz-John Porter bill will be de ieated in the senate, although it passed that body two years ago. If every man who was in the sen ate when the bill was up before, votes now as he did then and there is no doubt on this point and SenatorsStanfordof California and Mitchell of this state vote against the bill, as they are ex- pecieu to uo, me senate win De a tie, and it takes a majority to pass. These senators succeeded Demo crats who voted for the bill. There is some doubt, however, as to how Stanford will vote. He talks very frankly on the subject and s&ys that in his own mind he is very strongly of the opin ion that Porter ought not to be re stored to the arm', but his esti mate of the opinion of General Grant amounts to reverence. He says that he knew Grant intimate ly for twenty years, and believes that his judgment was almost in fallible. In a question of this kind he should not vote against the opinion of Grant without se rious reflection, and he proposes to study the matter thoroughly. -Comparatively few states are represented in the senate by citi zens born within their own bord ers. New York gave Leland Stanford to California, Teller to Colorada, Conger to Michigan, Van Wyclc to Nebraska, Dolph to Oregon and Payne to Ohio. Ohio gave Voorhee3 and Harrison. to Indiana, Allison and "Wilson to Iowa and Plumb to Kansas. Ken tucky gave Cullom to Illinois, Gibson to Louisiana, Vest to Mis souri, Maxey to Texas and Call to Florida. Massachusetts gave In galls to Kansas and Evarts to New York. Among the states which send native born citizens to the senate are Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Penn sylvania, South Carolina, Tennes see, Vermont, Virginia, and "West Virginia. Jones, of Florida, Fair and Sewell are Irishmen; Beck is a Scotchman, and Jones, of Neva da, is a "Welshman. Nevada is the only state represented by two aliens, namely, Jones, born in Wales, and Fair born in Ireland. The second and concluding vol ume ol Blaine's "Twenty Years of Congress" has been published. It embraces the period between Johnson's installation as president and Garfield's election. The ear lier chapters are occupied mainly with the reconstruction problem, the contest between the president and congress, and the impeach ment trial. Grant's eight years of administration are discussed in a generous and catholic spirit, and the closing chapters deal with the current questions of political dis cussion. In closing Blaine says: "The national government has in these twenty years proved its strength in war and its conserva tism in peace. No government of modern times has encountered dangers that beset the United States, or achieved the triumphs wherewith the nation is now crowned. The assassination of ' two presidents, one inaugurated at ),,.., A . i the beginning, the other at the I , " . . , ... close of this period, while a cause of profound national grief reflects no dishonor upon popular govern ment. Neither crime had its or igin in political institutions or its growth in the social organization of the country. Both crimes re ceived the execration of all parties and all sections. In the universal sorrow which they inspired, in the majestic supremacy of the law which they failed to disturb, may be read the strongest proof of the government which is founded up on rights fortified by intelligence and inwrought with vittttes of the people."
