ASTORIA, OREGON:
THURSDAY ..SEPTEMBER 8. IBS?
AN AMERICAN ABROAD.
Mb. Blain-e's tour in England and
Scotland is furnishing this country,
and particularly those people given
to admire foreign nations, with a good
deal of practical instruction. Of Mr.
Blaine as an American abroad wo are
proud, for we feel he can uphold, in
his awn person, a national charac
ter, dignity and independence. En
glishmen evidently think so too.
We need such men as Blaine
abroad. Men who respect themselves,
their country, their national instito
tions, character and customs, and who
can evince such a feeling without
offenso or spread-eagleism. Many
philosophic minds have regarded as
an evidence of the weariness or color
lessness of our national character the
tendency of a residence in the old
world to vitiate what is characteristic
and peculiar in American visitors.
Thero are grounds for this con
elusion. Americans have been taken
forFrepchmen in London, for English
men in Paris and for- both in Eome.
Much of this is due to our impression
able character, quick to absorb what
seems good to new habits and ideas.
Some of it is due to a fear that old
standards are necessarily better than
new ones, and that there "is some
thing inherently raw and uncouth in
the genus Americans. And some of
it is due to fashion.
Mr. T31aine has plenty of moral back
bone, but what makes his American
ism valuable is its unconsciousness.
He could not be mistaken for any one
but an American if he tried. His
nationality is inherent. He creates
in consequence an impression that is
unique and unmistakable. Strong,
clear, self-possessed and virile, the
observer feels that under a conven
tional dress is a character that can be
formed in one placo only, and that
place the American republic.
A NEW PARTY.
A movement to reorganize or rath
er to recreate the old know nothing
party is said to be on foot in New
York, and Mr. Powderly is reported
to be taking an active interest in it
lis one central idea is restriction of
foreign immigration.
-JEt hardly needs, a new, party to
start or pusn a movement 01 uus
kind, since both the old parties in
their state conventions recently held,
have declared in favor of legislation in
that direction, and the national con
ventions next year will no doubt make
more authoritative declarations, if in
deed congress does not satisfactorily
settle the matter this winter. AVe al
ready have some law on the subject,
but it is hardly broad enough to suit
our present needs.
We have certainly no need for a
know nothing party. Most foreign,
ers who come to this country make
good citizens some of our very best
The accident of birth has never count
ed for much in this country, and there
is no reason to try to make it count
for more. We have plenty room here
yet, and any man who is willing to
become an American citizen and earn
an honest living for "himself and let
others do the same, ought to be wel
come. All others should be Ijept out,
and doubtless will be before a great
while.
The Northern Pacific is inaugurat
ing a movement to put boats on the
upper river so as to command tho
grain -trade of the upper Columbia.
This,, says The Dalles Times-Mountaineer,
will give it the control of the
grain market abovo Celilo in eastern
Oregon, and will completely shut off
the O. R & N. Co. from the trade of
the inland empire. If Portland de
sires to compete for this trade, sho
will be forced to put on a line of boats
and use the portage at the Cascades
and above this city to the best ad
vantage. England seems to be making a col
lection of river mouths. Not content
with the Gauges, tho St Lawrence, the
Nile and a few others, she has taken
possession of the Orinoco.
Cardinal Gibbons has promised to
make the closing prayer and pro
nounce the benediction at the ap
proaching constitutional celebration
in Philadelphia.
A Gift for All.
In order to give all a chance to test it
aud thus be convinced of its wonderful
curative powers, Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Oolds, will be, for a limited time, giyen
away. Tills offer is not only liberal,
but shows unbounded faith in the mer
its of this great remedy; All who suf
fer from Coughs, Colds, Consumption,
Asthma, Bronchitis, or any affection of
Throat Chest or. Lungs, are especially
requestedto call at WVE. Dement & Coa
Drug Store, and get a Trial Bottle Free.

The English Salmon Market.
San Fbaxoisoo, Sept. 6. Advices
from London to-day state that the
situation in salmon has further im
proved, and in tho prevailing scarcity
on spot, prices have run almost at
will. Landed parcels of Columbia
river hsh have been eagerly taken at
2728s per case for prime qualities in
tall tins, and contracts have been
made for the arrival on similar terms,
say b7s bd. Uine salmon in "flat"
tins commands Sis. Owing to the se
vere falling off in the supply this
year, itispow outstripped by home
consumption, ana in me anxiety to so

prices that axe asked.

A DYING MAN.
San Francisco, Sept 7. There is
little if any improvement in governor
Bartlett's condition this morning and
it is believed that he may pass away
at any moment either in a stupor or

ten o'clock his symptoms were still
those of increased pressure on the
brain; pulse 102, respiration 36.
MYOPIA OP THE "TIMES."
London, Sept. 7. Commenting on
the invitation received by Gladstone
from the executive committee to at
tend the centennial celebration at
Philadelphia of tho adoption of tho
Amerioan constitution, the Times
says Englishmen will not fail to
gratefully recognize the kindly feel
ing that prompted tho invitation, but
we are sorry that Gladstone was
chosen as he is unable to accept but
we find it difficult to discover how
the conclusion was arrived at that
Gladstone wa3 peculiarly fitted to
represent England on such an oc
casion. We should hardly select
Blaine to represent the United States
if an English celebration were in
question.
TWO FAST HORSE3.
Chicago, Sept. 7. Jay Eye See

year old stallion by almost four sec
