Newspaper Page Textft 3 t .. m ss ' ASTORIA. OREGON: OCTOBER 23. 18S7 "moral and religious educa. lilAiV. ; jirticle in Cabdxsaii Gibbons, tbe current nur o. ihe American ifeoiew enuw -- -- ; n,,r Political ana Social Insti- -..., irhiVea to point outivliat CUUUua, " - - .. , he considers the cluei auu. ---threaten the perpetuity of Amencan institutions. He declares the great evils to be Mormonism and divorce, which strike at the root of amily and society; an imperfect and vicious sys tem of education, vmen muauu the religion of our youth; the desecra tion of the Christian Sabbath Trhich tends to obliterate in our adult popu lation the salutary fear of God and the homage we owe Him; a fraudulent ballot and an administration of justice pernicious in its dilatory character. It is hardly probable that any con siderable portion of the religious ele ment of our population will seriously dispute the correctness of the cardi nal's diagnosis, so far as it goes. Many will wonder, doubtless, wiry neaots not include the drink traffic among his list of great evils, especially as ne has set the example of a war upon in temperance. It is when he comes to treat of the cure of the evils of which he complains that dispute will arise, at least among the great body of those not within the cardinal's own com munion. In enlarging upon his list of the evils which threaten our government, Cardinal Gibbons characterizes the American system of public school ed ucation as mutilated and vicious, be cause it improves only the mind and the memory to the neglect of moral and religious training. In support of his position he quotes "Webster's defi nition, that to educate "is to instill into the mind principles of art, sci ence, morals, religion and behavior. To educate in the -arts is important; in religion indispensable." Planting himself upon the position that relig ion is the indispensable part of an ed ucation, and that as the public school does not furnish religious education it is vitally defective, he declares in fa vor of the system of denominational schools now in existence in Canada, . The majority of the community will doubtless read this portion of the car dinal's article with more interest than all the rest "While not disputing his assertion that the public schools are defective in the moral training of their pupils, the greater number will not concede that a division of the school funds among denominational schools furnishes the only or best remedy. The various denominational journals may be relied upon to dis cuss the cardinal's position with a great deal of zeal at least Perhaps the discussion that will grow out of the subject will lead to the suggestion of some practical method of imparting moral instruction in our schools that will not be open to the denomination al objection. Is our dispatches this morning is the first rumble of the thunder of the two great political parties. The chairman of the Republican national committee calls a meeting for Decem ber 8th, to decide upon the time and place of holding the next national nominating convention for candidate for president in 18S8, and the San Francisco Democrats have inaugu rated a move to make a bid for the coming convention of their party to l)e held at the Golden Gate. Thus begins the conflict that will continue till the first week in November, '8S. It is to be hoped in this regard, that this coming presidential contest will be different in one important feature, viz: duration. There is no use in making the campaign so long. Time was when it took three months for Oregon to find out what wa3 going on in Maine or South Carolina, when it was proper to have a presidential nomination in April or May, but that time has long since passed. The 25th of September is plenty early enough to hold a convention to nominate a president Mud enough can be thrown at him in six weeks to stick the rest of his life. It is expected that congress will be asked to consider some further legis lation regarding interstate commerce at its coming session. The interstate commerce commission is required by the law creating it to make a report to the secretary of the interior on or be fore December 1, and that officer is to transmit the same to congress. This report, it is provided by law, is to con tain such information and data col lected by the commission as may be considered of value in the determina tion of questions connected with the regulation of commerce, together" with such recommendations as to addition al legislation as the commission may deem necessary. It is understood that the commission will in its first report make some suggestions for the amendment of He act and will ask congress to act Pou them at an early date. In jist what direction the "commission will seek to have the act amended has not been disclosed. At the same time there is consider able talk about congressional legisla tion regarding the telegraph, which has been stimulated by the recent ab sorption of the Baltimore & Ohio by the Western Union Telegraph Go. A recent decision of the supreme court has definitely excluded the states from any exercise or control over interstate telegraphy, thus leav ing the question of regulation or no regulation to the discretion of con gress. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says that the figures furnished in the cen sus returns of"Washington territory, iust published, are inaccurate and practically worthless. It claims that the present population of the territory is nearly 200,000, and the population of King county is nearly twice what is given in the returns. There appears to be considerable truth in our contem porary's strictures on the careless and slovenly manner in which the census was prepared. A good showing could and should be made of the progress flnd popuiation of our entorpnsm gfeter territory. If, says the American Machinist, every boy in the country who has his way to make would sit down with the fact, long enough to master it, that nothincr but hard, honest work will bring anything worth having in this world, there would be fewer young men looking for some kind of work where they could keep their hands clean and in doing which they could lie in bed till eight o'clock in the morning. There would be fewer look ing for such jobs, and more who were anxious to work at trades, where the prospect of amounting to something is much greater. TALE OF THE PRINTER'S STICK. LOCAL.

Of the 1,400,000,000 of people on the globe to day, how many have ever been heard of beyond the narrow circle of their village or neichborhood ? Certainly not one in a million. Of the millions of millions who have lived and died since the crea tion of Adam, how few have left any memorial. Of how few do we know the names even. If, then, nobodyism is the commi.n lot, why should not wo lg willing to be nobodies '.' Js it not enough for us to live as the majority of our kindred have lived and are living? The earth, which God has given to the oiis of men, is a great family mansion. In its various stories the 'overwhelming majority of our, brothers and sisters toil on quietly from day to day, unnoted and unknown. But a few restless ones per sist in sitting upon the windowsills or climbing up to the chimney tops. By doing so they make themselves conspic uous. But are they any better off than the rest of us? They are-not as well off. They have hard work to keep thdr places; and thONe who see them are much more likely to envy or criticise than to admire them. The men and women who have been discontented with the common lot, who have scorned u Idea of being nobodies, have too often mistaken notorierv for fame. If they could only get the world to talk about them they imagined that thev would be happy. And finding that the'world cared more for what is start ling than for what is useful that it preferred to he astonished or even shocked to being instructed they have cultivated eccentricities or even perpe trated crime m pruer to inane tor tlieui selves a name in the earth. Everv leader can test this matter for himself. Let him make out a list ot the people outside of the circle of his dally intercourse that he knows by name that he lias read about in the newspa persand write opposite to each why he is known, and it will be found that three-quarters of them arc cranks or scoundrels. They havo pushed them selves into notoriety by some glaring absurdity or sonic startling crime. The honest, plodding cashiers, whose 'ac counts balance to a penny, will not be on your list. There are thousands of such in banks and counting-rooms all over the Jand. But they toil and die unnoted and unknown, just because they arc honest; while the half-doren embezzlers and defaulters of the year have their names paraded in head-lines, and the great world is supposed to be intensely interested in them. An I' nil to Cone Scraping. Edwaid Shepherd, of Ilarrisburg, 111., says: ''Having received so much bene fit from Electric Bitters, 1 feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. nave nan a running sore on my leg lor eight years; my doctors told inel wquIi have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated! I ucd, instead, three bot tles of Eleclric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well." Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 23c. per box by XV. E. Dement & Co. For the best photographs and tintypes go to Crow's Gallery.
