ASTORIA. OREGON:
SUNDAY
JULY 1, 18SS.
VOLUME XXXI.
"Wrrn malice toward none, and
charity toward all," The Astorian
to-day enters upon its 81st volume,
and tho sixteenth year ot its existence.
It is thankful for tho generous and
substantial patronage accorded it, and
in the future as in the past will work
for the best interests of the city and
county, and the material progress of
this section of the commonwealth.
They are telling the followingstory
in Washington to illustrate Mi. Ful
ler's skill as a lawyer: It is said that
one of his earliest exhibitions of clev
erness whioh brought him fame was
was tho defense of several Polanders
charged with murder. Fuller suc
ceeded in getting them separate tri
nls, and then defended them one after
another. It was so managed that the
offender thought to beleast guilty was
tried first The trial was a long one,
but Fuller ultimately triumphed and
secured an acquittal. The other cases
were at once called, when to the
emazement of every one, duller in
troduced in their behalf a full con
fession of the crime by tho one who
had just been acquitted. With cir
cumstantial detail the criminal told of
the murder, making it plain beyond
question that he was the guilty party.
He could not be tried again, as the
law provided that a man could not be
put twice in jeopardy for tho same
crime. At the same time tho confes
sion cleared all the other defendants.
Texas is troubled with a plethora
of cash. Its bonded indebtness is
only $4,500,000, which tho holders
will not exchange for tho money, pre
ferring to draw the interest; and there
is in tho state treasury a surplus of
more than 2,000,000. Tho school
fund has a surplus of 810,000,000, for
nearly half of which no safe invest
ment can be found. The farmers, to
whom tho stato has been selling its
lands at forty-nine years' time, with
only 5 per cent interest, in the hope
that they would be very dilatory about
paying the principal, are piling in the
money on tho overburdened stato
treasurer. Tho counties are doing tho
same. To add to its misery the state
has 30,000.000 acres ot land yot to sell,
which are bringing every year higher
and higher prices.
In the official report upon Russian
statistics for 1885 it is mentioned that
in that year tho population amounted
to 109,000,000, that tho birth rate ex
ceed the death rate by 900,000 a year.
and that of 853,000 young men eligi
ble that year for military service, only
228,000 were enrolled. Servico in
Russia lasts, howover, for twelve
years, and the total meaning of the
figures is that tho Russians are incom
parably the most numorous of tho
white peoplos, and her means of
forming and renewing her army at
least four times as great as that of
any first-class nation. If sho ever
produced an emperor with military
genius who was also ambitious, those
would be serious facts.
In tho twenty-one presidential elec
tions since the beginning ot tho pres
ent century New York, Now Jorsey
and Connecticut have all stood to
gether nine times, New York and
New Jersey against Connecticut five
times, and New York and Connecticut
against New Jersey five times. In
one election, that of 1828, tho voto of
New York was divided. In only a
single presidential year since Thomas
Jefferson's first term has New York
failed to carry either New Jersey or
Connecticut with it
Mr. Kebnan, of tho New York pro
duce exchange, told tho inter
state commerce commission that Min
neapolis flour could bo bought four
cents a barrel cheaper in Glasgow
than in the city of New York.

IN TnE IRON MILLS.
Pittsburg, June 30. Both the iron
masters and their men presented a
firm front this morning. When the
day shift went off this evening it was
announced thnt all the mills in tho
west bnt twelve, operated by non
union men, would close down lor an
indefinite period. A dispatch from
Youngstown. Ohio, reports tho mills
in tho Mnhoning valley are preparing
for protracted suspension. .Notwith
standing the discouraging reports
received by mill men, they do not
seem to be worried. Almost all who
have been spoken to. bcliove the sus
pension will not continue longer than
two or threo weeks. The shut down
is necessary nt this timo of year for
repairs and stock taking. Tho manu
lecturers have, they claim, used the
same argument for years, nnd always
opposed the amalgamated association
as vigorously as at present Since
the strike of 1882 the. scale has beon
signed in conference, but with one
execution nnd that was in 1835 when
tho strike was declnred. One by one
the firms Binned tho scale that year.
and the strike was over and the mills
all in operation.
