ASTOBIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY .'.". 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.
