JULY 7, 18ST There is a Virrinia law, passed many years ago, but still extant, which imposes a fine of fifty pounds of tobacco on a man ab senting himself from church with out valid excuse. It is claimed that a boot is the article which "represents most di rersified labor." Textile piece goods, thread, metal work, as well as the varied interests of agricul ture, tanning and shoe-making, may all be traced to it. i i Senator Sherman proposes that the whole machinery for elec tion of members of congress should be placed by law in the hands of the United States government. He claims that supreme court de cisions warrant such a law. The Baltimore American's Washington correspondent asserts that Cleveland is quietly but sure ly bending his energies to secure a renomination and that collector Bradley B. Smalley is now in the west working up a Cleveland boom. ii In response to an advertisement of the state of Connecticut for bids for bonds to the amount of $1,000, 000, bearing 3 per cent, interest, and payable in ten years or soon er, at the' option of the state, bids were received aggregating more than $700,000,000. The Annual report of the patri otic Amerioans shows a member ship swollen from 40,000 to 100 000 during, the past year. The order admits only native born American voters, and its main ob ject is opposition to interference by foreigners in the affairs of thb country. . .. m The Baltimore American re porta an interview with "an old time Tammany Democrat," in which he declares that the labor vote has the best organization to day in the state of New York and will poll"200,000 votes, 150,000 of which will come from the Demo- cratic party. Interest on the last of the last of the United States 3 per cent, bonds ceasec on the 1st inst. The loan was authorized in July, 1882. The only bonds now bear ing interest are the 4s and 4s. The next bonds to become paya ble are the 41s, in September, 1891, four years hence. A Tennessee newspaper con tains the follewing: "We are re; joiced to know that J. C. Hackhelt, that prince of gentlemen and czar of culture, has secured the contract for building the plank sidewalk in front of the Gibbons block. He is a gentleman of the old school and knows a good piece of plank when he sees it.' The last Arizona legislature re pealed all laws in that territory, enacted an entire new code and sent it to St. Louis'to be printed. So far the St. Louis printing firm has failed to send the Jaws and no one in Arizona knows what the law is. The courts are closed and all legal procedure is suspended. The rAfizonians are in the same blissful state regarding their laws as Astorians regarding their city ordinances. There was only one man in Astoria that knew what or dinances were in force and ho has forgotten. ' At a recent meeting of the Illi nois grain merchants1 association senator Cullom delivered an ad dress on the interstate commerce law. The senator has strenuously avoided discussion of this subject, and this talk is the first he has made since the law became a law. He thinks .that, the beneficial effects of the act are being felt throughout the country. In spite of all the hue and cry made about it, ,there is nothing particularly new orstarthng in the act There as nothing unreasonable in the provisions preventing discrimina tion. The senator then stated that it is simply a declaration of in dependence to the management of railroads, and discussed the object of the law. In regard to the short-haul clause, he said: "I take pleasure in saying that while the commission may have made an error in granting relief from the short-haul clause to the extent they did in the outset, yet I have no doubt that they believed the course pursued was a wise one, and I am not prepared to say with confidence that it was not. I be lieve they are doing the best they can do. I do not believe that the law would result in any substantial good to the people without such a special tribunal for its enforce ment." He thinks that there is no danger of the railways drop ping back on their old rules. He closed by saying: "If the general scope and purpose of the law is right, stand by it. If it is imper feet and needs modifying, strengthening or amending, let the commissien and congress know wherein, and I trust it will not be long before we shall have a perfect statute that will secure justice to the people and railroads alike, and that increased prosperity may result to all." This may be all very well for Illinois and the Mississippi valley, but it won't do on this coast. IN SALEM. Salem, July 4, '87. Editor Asterian: To an Astorian visiting this city for the purpose of viewing her fine publio buildings and many other points of interest the thought will occur, "What a long distance it is from one place to anotner here." Four or five blocks is a considerable walk to one accustomed to the econ omy of snaoe prevailing in Astoria. It was sound and far-seeing judgment that designed these spacious blocks and broad Btreeta down which the eye may follow until the perspective blends the trees that cast a grateful shade on either Bide. All day the population of the surrounding coun try nas Deen pouring in unui an im mense crowd has congregated. The military and various fire companies made a creditable display. and by no means the least interesting feature of tne prooessiqn was tne paraae or imrty-iour oicyciers on their steeds of glistening steel. In Marion square .an immense audienoe gathered to listen to usual literary exercises, wmonwere inter spersed with some excellent vocal and instrumental music. Miss ilallie Parrish sane "The Sword of Bunker Hill" with fine effect Governor Pennoyer presided, Rev. J. M. Dick delivered the prayer, Major W. J. D'Arcy read the Declaration; Hon. O. W. iulton of Astoria, delivered the eloquent oration which was in structive, practical in its suggestions regarding the duties of American cit izens, patriotic in sentiment and was listened to with great interest and satisfaction by the large audience. The bicycle races in tne afternoon at tracted a large crowd as also did the firemen's contests. Salem is justly proud of, and enthusiastic over, her lire department, and her people man ifest jealous interest in the perform ance of their favorite companies. When it comes to quick work, how ever, your correspondent believes that our Astoria fire department can rive our brethren in the interior a few points. The fireworks in the evening olosed a celebration, which was in every way a gratifying success. Salem is a fine oiry, situated in a fertile valley of vast extent The day is not far distant when its now gen erous limits will prove insufficient for the human throng with which the tide of immigration will people its streets in this glorious western land.
