CO W& gaits itfforiatt. ASTOBIA. OEEGON: SUNDAY. AUGUST 23, 1887 It is believed that $59,000,000 of the paper money issued by the United States has been lost or destroyed, and will not have to be redeemed. An alliance is reported to have been consummated between governor Hill, of New York, and president Cleve land, of an offensive and defensive character. This action m is brought about by the united labor movement The editor of the Oorvallis Gazette, who has been for some time threat ened with blindness by reason of over work, is again on deck, and can evi dently think as clear as ever. It is to be hoped the affliction is not perma nent Senator Edmund3 has received a retainer of 25,000 to represent the Chicago dressed-beef interests in their battle with the railroads before the interstate commerce commission. Ex- senator Conkling will appear for the railroads. It is said and sung in Canada that the Canadian Pacific railroad com pany controls the Canadian govern ment It certainly looks, in the light of the Manitoba incident, as though the dominion government was admin istered in the interests of that great monopoly. The executive committee of the new political party, recently organ ized under the name of the American party, has issued an official call for a national convention in Philadelphia on the IGth and 17th of September. Pixley, of the Argonaut, will be there and run everything or burst the busi ness up. The high court of that august body, the Ancient Order of Foresters, has resolved that it will submit to no dictation from the British body, even if we "sunder ourselves from such supreme court, as our fathers did from the all-claiming English ministry in the reign of George HL" The new war of independence may immediately begin. From London to thaTacoma Ledg er, F. J. Parker, of the "Walla Walla Statesman, writes: "I saw the ex empress Eugenie yesterday, and gave her a copy of Wonderland and the Northwest. Didn't know until after she left who she was, and there was I all the time cracking up Washington territory as the best place for people with money to emigrate to." m The latest from that terrible north coast is in the Port Townsend Argils, which says: "The thickest fog of the season prevails in the straits, making navigation dangerous, particularly so to sail vessels. Tugboats are unable to find them, but just as soon as one is seen through the fog the master of the sail vessel is willing to employ steam to take them to their destina tion." The coming military display at Chicago promises to be the most striking affair of the kind since the war. Beginning October 1st it will continue three weeks. The secretary of war has ordered the United States infantry, cavalry and artillery to at tend the encampment, and representa tives of a number of European mili tary organizations are expected to be present as guests. The public debt, says the New York Tribune, reached its highest point in August, 1865, just twenty-two years ago, when it was 32,381,530,295. It is now, not including the Pacific railroad bonds, 1,001,976,850. In other words, more than one-half of the debt has been paid within that period. It has been reduced at the average rate of 62,706,975 each year, S5,222,581 each month, 174,186 each day, 7,258 each hour and 120.47 for every minute of the entire twenty-two years. The Southern Pacifio people say they are seriously cramped for cars to accommodate the tremendous travel over their lines. Sixty thous and people are booked for California over that line alone from the east this falL It is those people and the money they bring that makes the southern California boom. The rail road programme as we understand it is to start the human tide northward into Oregon as soon as railroad con nection is made below Ashland, and fill the Willamette Valley. The southern boom is but a prototype of the activity and stir that will be at our gates within a year. Unnecessary Misery. Probably as muoh misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the funotions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will be found pleasant to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors, S. F. AK ASTORIAN IN LONDON. Interesting Notes of a Sojourn In England. Lokdok, August 10, 1887. Fbiejd Hallebak: As a rule, in corresponding, I do not beliero in wasting time, in excuses and apologies. But I do wish on this occas ion to say, that I hope you will forgive my seeming neglect in not fulfilling my promise to send you an occasional letter during my absenoe from Astoria the more so as you have kindly kept your promise in sending mo every weeka oopj of your interesting paper, the receipt and perusal of which, I assure you, has been one of my greatest enjoyments siuce I stepped foot on a foreign shore. I desire simply to say that the main reason why I have not heretofore written you is, be cause, up to the present, my time and at tention has been fully occupied in visit ing relations scattered over various and widely separated portions of this "tight little island," and talking over with them matters and things which oould have no public interest. To give you a descrip tion of some of these quaint old English towns and villages would have been of little interest except to the antiquarian or some former resident of the place in question. Therefore I did not attempt it. I believe I have now got through with what may be called the routine of duty, and my intention is to accept the invita tion of some kindly disposed and well posted friends, who have offered to chap erone me to Paris, and to escort me in visiting sundry places of hiBtorio inter est in the wonderful city of London, with its more than four million inhabi tants within its school board district, to Windsor castle, Hampton court palaoe and other noted places outside of Lon don. These will afford mo subjects for future letters. Since my arrival in Liverpool on the 27th of May, in visiting relatives and friends, I have had occasion to travel over nearly the whole of the southern half of England, my stopping places in cluding the celebrated manufacturing town of Birmingham, the pottery towns of Staffordshire, the ancient cities of Bristol; Exeter, with its celebrated oathedral; Oxford, and its well known universities; Bedford, with its jonn boxyan hemejibchnces. Also, the beautiful coast of Devonshire, containing many celebrated seaside re sorts, at none of which I saw any bath ing beach to compare with our own Clatsop and North beach. As I sat upon the cliff overhanging the contracted little covo which formed the bathing sea beach of Ilfracombe one of the most beautiful and fashionable seaside resorts of England and watched the coming and going of the thronging and contin ually moving crowd of excursionists from London and other cities of the interior, ladies and gentlemen dressed in all man ner of fantastic seaside costumes, my im agination carried me forward to the time when the population of Astoria shall be equal to that of London at the present time, having a birth on the average every four minutes and a death every six min utes and I thought what a countless crowd thoro will be there then, and what a glorious time they will have on the magnificent forty milo stretch of level sea beach adjoining the mouth of the Co lumbia river! I don't expect to lire to see that dav. Mr. Editor, and I nm not sure that you will; but, if the population of those already crowded empires ana re publics of the old world continents so in crease, as they have done and are doing, it is only a question of time when they must emigrate in muoh larger numbers than they have hitherto done, although that is immense; and I know of no bet ter country that they can possibly go to than our own Oregon. The crowding, soothing mass of hu manity, continually on the move in op posite directions, in these London streets is simply bewildering to one unaccus tomed to it. Yesterday, seated on the roof of an omnibus, at 2 p. m., I found myself IN THB HEART OF THE CIXT, Where several streets converge into a large open space, having for its bounda ries the Bank of England on the north, the Koyal Exchange on the east, the lord mayor's official residence, the Man sion House, on the south, and the cele brated street called Cheapside running west. A blockade for a minute occurred. I attempted in vain to count the num ber of vehicles of every description, from the carriage of the aristocrat, with its liveried attendants, to the donkey cart of the humble costermonger, which were compelled to come to a standstill in that limited space. It baffled my efforts for it was literally packed solid. But squads of efficient policemen are sta tioned at every such intersection, and what appears to an inexperienced ob server to be inextricable confusion, is soon straightenod out by the absolute and unquestioned authority these po licemen exercise and the knowledge they have acquired by hourly similar experi ences. As I have before intimated, my re quired visits in the country have been paid, and I am settled down in London and its vicinity for awhile. From my room in the house of my lately deceased brother, where I am writing this ram bling letter, the gilded top of the Victo ria tower of the houses of parliament, (only a few steps distant), is plainly vis ible. I have an open invitation from an influential friend to be present at a de bate in the house of lords or commons when I see fit. I wish to select an even ing when some interesting subject will be under debate, calling out some of the best speakers. I hope to make this visit, when made, the subjeot of my next let ter. It has been xay privilege to worship in the ancient cathedral in the city of Exeter, and last Sunday, in the more an cient and, historically, more interesting edificeWestminster Abbey. But aB this letter is already encroaching on your space, I will not now enter into any de scription of what I saw and heard there, leaving it for my next. .. E. 0. H. Brace Op.
