co Wixt giln stodatt. ASTOKIA. OSEGON: 0 FRIDAY OCTOBER 21. 1887 UNNECESSARY ACTION. The order for the removal of the troops from Fort Canby and the aban donment of that post, if made, must certainly be under a misconception of the situation- It is but a short time since Fort Stevens "was abandoned. Can it be that a sudden spasm of economy has seized the "war depart ment, and that one of the most impor tant outposts of the nation is to be abandoned because of the considera tion of a few paltry dollars! We hope not Some time ago it was announced as the polioy of Gen. PhiL Sheridan, the general of the army, that the troops be concentrated as much a3 pessible: outlying posts, be abandoned, garri sons consolidated and more depen dence placed on ability to transport troops where required. This was in the line of progress, but the military post of Fort Canby does not come un der that rule. That fort is exceptional and important. It commands the en trance to the greatest river of the west: it is now the only defence we have. In marked contrast to the supine ac tion of our government is that of the British government at Yictoria, Es quimau! and elsewhere on this north' west coast It is bad enough to rest content with the simple perpotua tion of ono active military post at this most important point on this coast, but to abandon it appears like tran scendent folly and is humiliating to national pride and local prestige. As a national measure The Astori- an protests against this and voices the sentiment of this entire section in earnestly asking that such action as that recently taken be rescinded, and that the one solitary military outpost on this northwest Pacific coast be ordered kept up to its present status. Paragraphs from the press of Geor gia, the empire state of the new south, the home of the electric girl, show that the wonders there are as numer ous as ever and that the supply is in no danger of being exhausted. Ono Georgia paper tells the story of a clock whioh Btopped the instant its owner was arftested for murder, and started again of its own accord tho moment he was acquitted. An other equally reputable, journal gives a little 'natural history anecdote. The cow of a Gaines ville man refused to give mjlkj so the owner consulted a cow-doctor, who, deciding that she had "hollow tail," whatever that may be, split her tail filled the opening with salt and tur pentine, and bound it up, only to find later that the poor animal was be ing milked by a half -grown pig. But it is in naming children that Georgia challenges an admiring world to produce her equal One woman proudly points to a boy named "Only begotten son in whom I am well pleased," and a girl who bears the euphonious title of "I will arise and go to my father." As it would require a great deal of time to call these children by their full names, the son answers to "Only," and the daughter to "I wilier." In another family a particularly small infant, weighing, in fact, only two pounds, has been named, regardless of consequences, "Martha Ann Mary Magdalene Frances Cleveland Broughton." Georgia appears to bo richer in wonders than any other of the southern states. -Perhaps, after all, it is only because tho enterprising Georgia journalists have more lively imaginations than their neighbors. ew - There is considerable inquiry in and out of the papers as to whom the Kepublicans and Democrats will nom inate for president next Bummer. In the meantime there is no immediate danger. The country is chuck full of smart men, brainy people, who could and can run anything successfully that they take hold of. And the best of it is that the people in it are so prosperous and intelligent that it will go right ahead no matter who the politicians decide upon. Ben Frauk lin used to say "Take care of the oents and the dollars will take care of themselves." So also it may be said "Take care of city and county politics, and national politics will take care of itself." "Faith without works is dead." So said Paul, and he was right Your faith is all right, but put your" name down on one of those subsidy lists for just one-fourth what you think you would make by reason of a rail road coming here. If every reader of these few lines that come hoping you are well, would do this, the subsidy would run up to a quarter of a million before noon. Bemember, the first prime requisite is the pledging of the $150,000. The next thing will be something else. That done, Astoria CRnfalL Mr. Powderly strikes a key-note when he says: "Let me elect the as sessor, and I care not who elects the president" If the people would pay more attention to the selection of honest and capable men for the local offices they would find it very niuch to their advantage. The truth is that tho president has little or nothing to do with matters directly affecting the daily interests of American voters and taxpayers. It is the men who have charge of municipal and county affairs that should.be looked after, as Mr. Powderly puts it, "with eternal vig ilance." Three million women in the Unit ed States work for money. Of these 600,000 are agricultural laborers, mainly in the cotton fields of the south; 640,000 are employed in manu factories, while 530,000 in the laun dries of the country insist that tho "Chinese must go;" 280,000 are milli ners, and 200,000 find employment as dressmakers; 60,000 earn their bread in the tailor shops and 690,000 are saleswomen, teachers, telegraph oper ators, type-writers, bookkeepers, type setters and nurses. There are 2,500 female physicians. Either Bayard or Garland will have to leave the cabinet So Bayard himself is reported to have said em phatically. This is because A. K. Delaney, tho new district attorney for Alaska, in the suit aginst the En glish seal fishing vessels, takes up a lino of argument which controverts almost ever', if not every, point brought out and relied upon by Bay ard in the fisheries dispute with Can. ada and England. A Texas editor came out in a scorch ing leader and told the citizens of Gatesville that there was altogether too much promiscuous shooting at dogs in the northern part of tho city and that it must bo stopped. The next week ho advocated tho side of the shooters and explained his change of base by stating that "a dog stole our beefsteak, the first wo had had for a fortnight" Meral: The dog was a mugwump. Mr. Powderly says tho Knights of Labor should demand of the next congress the establishment of govern mental telegraph lines, to be run in connection with the postal service. But then wouldn't Jay Gould's West ern Union buy up the government the same as it did' the B. & O? It was a race between the pipe line and the street railway. The pipe line had no wings of flame or anything else, but it got there just the same.
