W j.l trrrr"! t irfuri Mjaai hc gntltj Itforinn. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY AUGUST 14. 18S7 IS PROPERTY ROBBERYt "Probably not one man in a hundred of tho number that condemn the dootrine preached by Henry George has read Process and Poverty,' " says tho Bos ton Globe, "or understands the theory he advocates." This is true. East Orego nian. We have before us, says the Alta, the proceedings of the last great meet ing held by these gentlemen in New York city on June 19th. It was a sort of emancipation celebration to ratify Father McGlynn's separation from the Catholic church. "While he -was in the very honeymoon of his excommu nication one would expect him to be explicit Monsieur Pierre Joseph Proudhon was explicit He said: "Property is robber'," aud tnat settled it Nobody misunderstood him. But hero we have some of the bearers of the cross of the new crusade, declaring that they are tax reformers; others in a sinister way pledging themselves to disturb no "just rights of property," and still others frankly threatening confiscations. Going to the expres-! sions used in the meeting of June 19th, we find them running in support of the most extreme of these proposi tions. The Eev. Mr. Pentecost, in tho pres ence of Fathor McGlyun, addressed the multitude. Among other things, this epigrammatic person said: Tho land owner is the great boodler of the age. We want the owner of the land to show title from the maker of the land. We are going to abolish industrial slavery as we abolished chattel slavery, by legally abolishing private ownership in land. The time will come when private own ership in land will be considered blacker than was chattel slavery. We are going by legislation to change the cause of this industrial slavery, and if the slave owners revolt when that change comes, so much the worse for them. Mr. George then came forward and said, "We are going to win, and that soon." Now, what does it all mean? Land owners are called boodlers, compared to slave owners, threatened with legal deprivation of their property, and warned that they must not protest, or it will be "worse for them." Just how much worse it could be we are at a loss to know, short of taking their lives, after having taken their prop erty. Here, then, is the programme, on which, "Lo! the dawn is breaking," and these the processes by which "Soon the outraged millions shall again possess the land." We might venture to inquire when they pos sessed it before. Certainly the men who own it now have mostly worked and earned it, and we advise .them to hold on to it, and stand by the laws which protect life, liberty and prop erty. Horace Greeley said the darkest hour in the life of any man was when he got something without earning it The anti-poverty society repudiates this, and proposes to cut across lots to ownership, without effort, and pos session without title. The world is a great public school, nnd it soon teaches a new pupil his proper place. If he has the attributes that belong to a leader he will be installed in the position of a leader; if not, whatever his own opin ion of his abilities may be, he will be compelled to fall in with the rank and file. If not destined to greatness, the next best thing to which he can as pire is respectability; but no man can either be truly great or truly respecta ble who is vain, pompous and over bearing. By the time the novice has found his legitimate social position, be the same high or low, the proba bility is that the disagreeable traits of his character will be softened down or worn away. Most likely the process of abrasion will be rough perhaps very rough; but when it is all over and he begins to see himself as others see him, and not as reflected in the mirror of self-conceit, he will be thankful that he has run the gauntlet and arrived, though by a rough road, at self knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers may think to the contrary, it is a good thing for youths to be knocked about in the world it makes men of them. The people of the United States know but one flag, the stars and stripes; and no other flag in this land has any political or patriotic meaning. The American flag is not only the most beautiful, but it is tho most deeply significant emblem that ever was uplifted by a nation in peace or in war. While to some matter-of-fact persons the flag may consist of a few yards of bunting, more or less, in patriotic sentiment it symbolizes not merely the union of mighty states, but the sovereign freedom of every citizen of the republic Every American cit izen on great occasions of national re joicing and festivity, proudly hangs out the flag as the ideal pledge and guarantee of his political liberties. The humblest citizen attaches to these stripes of bunting a meaning that be longs to no other nutional ensign. Around the flag cluster tho glorious memories and traditions of a people in whose van it is borne, far in ad vance of the other nations, as the em blem of the mightiest'commonwealth of freedom that the world has ever known. The career of senator Beagan is a political romance. He was born a citizen of the United States, but threw off his allegiance and became a citizen of the republic of Texas, and a member of its congress. When Texas was annexed he again became a citizen of the United States and a member .of congress at Washington. When Texas went into the confed eracy he went along and was a mem ber of the confederate cabinet When Texas was reconstructed he came back and now is a senator of the United States. So, living all the time in Texas, he has held office under three different governments, de jure and de facto. Greatly Excllert. Not a feV of the citizens of Astoria have recently become greatly excited over the astounding facts, that several of their friends who had been pro nounced by their physicians as incur able and beyond all hope suffering with that dreaded monster Consump tionhave been completely cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, the Tnly remedy that does positively cure all throat and lung dis eases, Couglis, Colds, Asthma and bron chitis.

The new steel yacht Volunteer was built for General Charles J. Paine by the Pusey & James company at Wilmington, Del. She was designed by Burgess, who also drew the plans for the Mayflower and Puritan. She is the biggest single sticker afloat, being 107 feet over all, though her length on water lino is only 8Gfeet. The most striking features of the boat as seen in a broadside view are her great depth aft, her long, keen sharply dimin ishing forefoot, the cutter-like rake of her eternpost, her lengthy, angular overhang and her sharp sheer fore and aft. There is a much sharper angle between the tip of her forefoot and the lowest line of her keel than ia seen in any of the other boats. In this point of construction she is more like the Atlantic than either the Mayflower or Puritan, but it is an ex aggeration of the Atlantic idea. This is an important differentiation, as it throws the center of gravity further aft than it is in any of the other yachts, and ought to have the effect of lifting her head bet ter in cutting through heavy seas. Her sternpost also has much more rake than that of any of the sloops. In fact she has all the rake of the cutter. Of the other sloops the Mayflower approaches nearest to her in this respect. Her vertical bow-lines are a still more radical departure from the type of the Puritan and Mayflower. The Atlant ic's bow-lines are called straight, but the new yacht's lines are straighter. As a tnelfal 1F f OAf flow an ft fa BaiA ol.nVtf. lUUtlV VFi 4.-MV, IUUJ 0V HUU, DllUW ly concave, but the concavity does not amount to half an inch in ten feet. To the eye the lines have tho rigid straight ness of the V. Abaft the shoulders, how ever, she has more concavity than any of the other yachts. -But the inward curve begins away down below the water line. The effect of this method of construction, which is a wide departure from existing types, is threefold. It affords great beam at and for several feet below the water line, reduces the aggregate of displace ment and places the ballast-carrying area muoh further down than it has ever been put before in the sloop or beamy tvne of boat. The result is a great in crease of stability, which means more sail-carrying power and an acceleration of speed from this f aot as well as from me economy oi displacement. The steel construction of the Volun teer admits of stowing the ballast lower than would be possible were she built of wood. She has a keel as wide as the Mayflowers and it is made into a hollow trough, into which tho lead has been run, thus insuring its reaching the lowest point in the vessel. In building of steel the great oak timbers which are used to form the keel can be done away with and their places filled by the heavier lead, and the ballast gets a better leverage by means of its low position. For this rea son the new sloop has more sail-carrying power than the Mayflower. As a conse quence her spars show an increase all round over those of the Mayflower. The new sticks are of Oregon pine through out. Even the topmast is made of this heavy but strong wood. This is some what of a departure from ordinary cus tom, as the lofty topmasts have usually been made of spruce. The spars are all splendid sticks, containing few knot3, and those of diminutive size. The mainmast has an extreme length of 86 feet, with a diameter of 19 inches at the dftck, 18 at the hounds and 19J at about half the distance up, the spar being slightly "barrel-shaped." Themainboom is 83 feet long, having a diameter of 14 inches in the middle and 13 inches in the slings. The gaff is 50 feet long, being the only spar which is not longer than the corresponding one in the Mayflower. The bowsprit is 53 feet long, and its greatest diameter is 15 inches. The top mast is 48 feet long, and has a diameter of 9 inches at the cap. While the Volunteer is seven feet longer than the Mayflower over all, she is only one foot longer on the water line; she has three inches less beam, six inches more draught, and carries twenty-two tons more ballast. Strictly speaking, she carries no outside ballast, as none of it is below her keel, but her keel consists of steel plates three-quarters of an inch thick, curved upward into a trough-like shape, and into that fifty tons of melted lead was poured. Besides that she carries twenty tons of pig lead as movable bal last to regulate her trim. Her center board is 20x22 feet, and as it will have a drop of about twenty feet tho yaoht will draw about thirty feet with it down. The frames are made of strips of steol firo-sixteenths of an inch thick, are angu lar in form, measure 3 by 2 inches, and are placed at the distance of twenty-one inches from center to center. The re verse frames measure 2 by 2 inches, and are 'of quarter-inch metal. The plates, like the frames, are of steel. They are of different thicknesses, to suit the various streaks to which they belong. Thus those belonging to the larboard streaks are half an inch thick; those of tho streak next above, five-sixteenths; those of the third streak, which is imme diately below the water line, four-sixteenths: and those of the sheer streak. which is above the water line, fire-six teenths. The plates are put on flush, and the interstices are made water-tight by a process called calking, from analogy, but which is simply hammering the metal until the edges comonrmjy together. rur mis -worn a peculiar iooi is usou, with an edge like a dull cold-chisel. The bolts are, of course, rfl counter-sunk, and tneir beads are trimmed oft witn a cold chisel to give the yacht a perfectly smooth skin. All the light her cabins will get will be from the deck, she having no portholes like the uaiaica. Her decks are of white pine, 24 inches by 3 inches, and her bulwarks are also of white pine, stained. She is painted white abore the water line and red below, and has no handrail to speak of.
