Good order and security to person
aud property characterize Astoria.
While other places suffer nightly
depredations from thieves, Astoria
enjoys immunity. The reason of this
is that we have a vigilant police ser
vice. In this case it is good to let
well enough alone.

John Fistenmacher lived in East
Portland till quite recently. He had
economy down fine and last week
pulled the strap one hole tighter aad
went dead. By strict pelf-denial he
was able to leave S10.336.49; didn't
take a cent along. He has no heirs,
and the state of Oregon get3 the swag.
John had a great head and a correct
valno of himself.

If you remark that hot weather
alwajs makes jou trnuspire profusely,
the chances are that some one will
take j on up for an incorrect use of
the word 'transpire. But as a mat
ter of fact, yon will be using the
word in strict accordance with Web
ster's definition of it. Men who know
this are winning wagers on their
knowledge every day.
The British bark Kitty sailed
for Haiphong Sunday with an as
sorted cargo, among which were 12
lepers. Even among lepers there is
social -caste and exclusiveness. Four
of these pariahs put on airs and run
m a crowd by themselves. The other
eight belong to a lower order or
stratum, and are not good enough to
associate with the high toned lepers.
Some of the Oregon editors aud
newspaper men had a first rate time
at the annnal meeting of the Oregon
i'ress association nt Salein last week.
They'd ort to 've been a bigger attend
ance; only 21 showed up, out of over
a hundred. The press association
ought to fix up some racket to get
even with the eastern advertising
uend, who wants sixsquarestopofcol-
umuuexttoreadiugniatterdeoandwee-
klywithpapermailedregnlarlytoadver
tiserforS7finetpayablequarterly. Mr. C. E. Wilson of Tillamook,
occupies the unique position of being
the only newspaper man in the state
who owns a bank. Now there's some
style about that. Great C33ar!
Just think of it! A newspaper man
owning a bank, with real money, aud
people coming in making deposits
and all that sort of thing. "We've
read about these things, but now
have it not exactly in our midst but
in the next county, a county with
which Clatsop county was formerly
conuected by a legislative enactment
and a trail.
A Kansas man on returning was
interviewed by his local paper with
this result: "What sort of a place is
it for a working man?" "Better
wages are paid than in Kansas, and
men can work out of doors more
days in the year. I could not advise
a man with a family to go there with
out means, unless be has some trade.
Those having from S500 to S2.500 can
make a splendid start, and do better
than in the western states. East of
the Cascades the case may be differ
ent. It should be remembered that
western Oregon was quite well settled
before the territory of Kansas was
open for settlement." "Did yon find
many people formerly from Kansas
in your travels?' "Lots of 'em; and
they are scattered from southern Cal
ifornia to Victoria. As a general
thing they are doing well and pleased
with the Pacific slope."

AN ASSURED SUCCESS.
The Astoria And South Coast Road.
h
Half The Capital Stock Already Sub
scribed. Tho Astoria and South Coast Rail
road Company filed articles of incor
poration yesterday. At three o'clock
in tho afternoon the stock books ware
opened, a few prominent business
men interviewed, and by night 836,750
within $750 of half the capital stock
had been subscribed. The whole
amount ought to be taken to-day.
The way to do a thing is to do it, and
the building of this road is going to
be a big thing for every one m Asto
ria who bos a dollar's interest in the
place. The stock books are -open to
day at J. W. Conn's drag store.
Those who own the land through
.which the road is to pass are just as
enthusiastic about it as any one in
Astoria. "Certainly," is the answer,
when asked for the right of way "in
helping them I'm helping myself.
Come right along." This road will
be a big thing for that whole country
side, and the residents realize it.
They say they don't want that Tanzy
Point project. What they want is the
road built direct from Astoria, and
that is what is going to be done.
It is an open secret that a scheme is
on foot to build a railroad from
Tanzy Point to Seaside, and if built
the next thing will be for its builders
and owners to say "Now then Asto
riana COME TO THE CEXTEE.
Give us 8100,000 subsidy, and maybe
we'll build up to your town." As
torians don't want any of that. The
thing to do is to build direct from
here. Without any disparagement
of nny other locality it can be safely
said that Clatsop beach is fully the
equal of any watering place or line of
seacoast on this side of the contin
ent, nnd the road once built, the peo
ple that cluster as thick as flies
on the decks of the Port
land steamers coming" down to get a
breath of fresh air, will como by way
of Astoria to Clatsop and the sea air
aud bathing there to be enjoyed.
There is profit and advancement in
this railroad scheme and it will begin
to pay from the time the rails
strike the other side of
Young's bay. The ten thousand
people that have come down to the
sea this year would be 30,000 if there
was a convenient way of getting from
Astoria to the beach. This means
from 8300,000 to $500,000 brought
here every summer, and the building
ofithis road is the way to briug that
money here.

The Chinese Bill Likely to Pass the House.
New Yobk, Aug. 13. James G.
Blaine started on his homeward trip
to Augusta, Me., on the New York,
New Haven & Harlem railroad this
morning. A large crowd congre
gated on the sidowalk opposite the
entrance to tho depot, and as Blaine
stepped from the carriage loud shouts
went up. Tho passage was made.
through a mass of humanity, and un
covering -his head, Blaine smilingly
passed into.. the depot. -During his
few minutes" stay in the depot he hold
an informal reception, and was loudly
cheered as the train pulled out.
During the tripto Boston Blaine will
deliver short addresses at various
way stations. His platform will be
the rear of the observatory car in
which he and his party ride.
A SPEECH FBOM BLAINE.
Bridgeport, Aug. 14. When the
Blaine train ran into Stamford it was
greeted with cheers from 2,000 peo
ple who were waiting.
Blaine said: "I thank this large
audience beyond tho power of my ex
pression for the compliment that they
pay me as I journey homeward. In
the brief moment that tho train will
stop I have only time to add my
thanks and an admonition. That is,
if Connecticut shall maintain her for
ward position among industrial and
prosperous communities of the
United States, she must be up and
doing. She must see to it that no
harm shall come to tho republic or to
her by the neglect of her citizens. It
is not impossible in the political con
test now upon us that the post of
honor and responsibility shall rest
upon Connecticut. It is not impos
sible that the presidential election of
'88 may be settled on the soil of your
state. "My request is to each and
every one of you to regard the task
of carrying Connecticut for Harrison
and Morton a3 imposed upon your
self. Believing you aro awake to
your duty I shall proceed to Maine
and ask her Republicans to show Con
necticut the path in which sheshould
walk'' (applause.)
At Bridgeport the assembly was-
larger and even more enthusiastic
than at Stamford. It was marked by
the same features aud Blnino made h
brief speech.
UEKIiY TO PASS.
Washington, Aug. 13. Four mem
bers of the house committee on for
eign affairs discussed tho bill to give
effect to the Chinese treaty that has
already passed the senate. In the
absence of a quorum they did not at
tempt to take any action, but the tone
of the discussion showed that all the
members present, without regard to
party, favor the speedy report to the
house. Hill, the member of the com
mittee who has heretofore occupied a
very conservative position in tho
matter of any Chinese legislation, to
day expressed himself satisfied that
the pending bill meets all present re
quirements.
FOR FUTURE MEASURES.
Washington, Aug. 13. The house
committee on public lands, to-day re
ferred to the sub-committee of the
senate the bill declaring tho forfeit
ure of lands granted to and in con
struction of wagon roads in Oregon.
The sub-committee was instructed to
consider the senate bill.
A BLUE LOOKOUT.
Sioux, Crrr, Aug. 13. Reports'! rom
north-western Iowa and southern Da
kota indicate a gloomy outlook for
crops. In Iowa most of the small
grains will be less than one-third the
usual aierage.
in many counties the rust has
ruined the wheat and oats, on more
than one-half the fields will not be
cut. Even otherwise good fields
have been twisted and tangled by the
recent storms. These storms have
also greatly damaged the corn.
An Explmatioii.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to bo af
flicted? If yon will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common ns any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of nuother word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of tho
bile through tho ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system; causing nervous. troubles,
Malaria, Billious Fever, etc. Yon
who are suffering con well appreciate
