That tho Astoria and South Coast railroad can be built is a fact That it should be built is also a fact. The needed requisite which appears to be lacking is earnestness and "push." There is some shuffling that should be absent. A promise with a string tied to it is worse than no promise at all. The way the matter now stands, is, that while everyone has promised the right of way, no one has given it While the right of way is virtually granted it is actually non-existent Just whether it is uilatonness or lack of energy on the one hand or lack of appreciation and co-operative aid on the other is not the question. Besults are tho only tangible things to look at To find fault or locate blame is not the essential. It is childish and undignified to adopt any other course than to decide that the road must and shall be built, and go ahead. The first thing to do is to get the right of way signed; to have the agreement iu black and wliite. Till that is done nothing is done. The thing lacks a leader. To hold back and cast around, and each one wait for the other to "do something," is to fail. There need be no possibility of fail ure if prompt and energetic action be taken. This is an opportunity, and now is the time. There has been too much hemming and hawing and backing filling, and waiting to sec what others will do. The way for earnest men to do a thing is to do it Tho matter grows tiresome, and if those who mean business stand in and push, tho whole thing can bo arranged iu forty- eight hours. But it can't bo arranged by simply saying, "That's so," when yon read this, and then waiting to see what the others are going to do about it m m Few of the crowned heads of Europe have been more fortunate than king Christian of Denmark. One of his daughters is empress of Russia, and another is likely to be tho future queen of England, while one of his sons is king of Greece, and an other is the husband of the only daughter nnd heir of tho king of Sweden. And now his grandson, the crown prince of Greece, is to irarry the princess Sophie, sister of emperor William. If dynastic alliances could assure peace between nations, such widespread marital relationships would surely afford the neceasary guarantee. Tnn post ofilao revenue in this state is being augmented at present by the dissemination of 'large supplements containing extracts from tho Oreyo nlan regarding protection and free trade, thus advertising that excellent journal to tho measure of tho circula tion of the several journals who lend their aid. The supplement is a good exemplification of tho fact that smart men change their minds; as a con trast, the supplement is simply an illustration. "Consistency," snjsCar- lyle, "is the bugbear of small minds." Just so. Thebk are moro ways than one of making money, and there is a man in Chicago who is profiting by one of the other ways. All photographers use a paper impregnated with a silver solu tion. This man makes periodical vis its to the photograph galleries and se cures this paper. lie burns it and refines the ashes, securing a large amount of silver. His bargain is for 20 per cent of the silver produced, and some weeks he secures over $100. It is hard work, but he makes a fair living at it The bill appropriating $100,000 to defray the expenses of locating and surveying suitable locations of storage reservoirs at the headwaters of streams west of the hnndredth merid ian, which water can be used for the purposes of irrigation, now needs but tho signature of the president to become a law. It is probablo the sur veys will be begun on streams in southern California and Arizona, where the winter climate is mild. . Sunny Booms. With or witho ut board at the Hohlen House.

The department of state of Massachusetts has written to senator Hoar calling his attention to the following discrepancies in the electoral college laws: Tbe United states statutes pro vide tnat a messenger from the electoral colleges in the various states shall deliver papers containing lue votes of their respectivo colleges to the president of the senate before the first Wednesday in January. The colleges havo met heretofore on tho first Monday in December, but tho law passed by congress in 1887 changed the time of tbe meeting to the second Monday in January, while the provision regarding tbe delivery of the vote was left unaltered. The question will have to be set tled by tho authorities at Washing ton. terrible starvation. Winnipeg, Oct. I. A terrible tale of starvation and destitution among tho Indians comes from the Atha basca and Peace river country, in the form of n petition to tho minister of tho interior for Canada. It is nigned by thoanglican bishop ot that dio cese, six clergymen and missionaries and several justices ot the peace. This document, officially passed by tho Synod ot Athabasca diocese, sets out that owing to tho great mortality among the beavers and other smalt game, tho Indians for nearly a year have been in a perpetual state of starvation. Their food supply and power of proouring clothing' have been affected. They are now in a complete state of destitution and nn ablo to provide themselves with cloth ing, ammunition, etc., for the winter. Many of their dogs, so necessary to tho Indians for traveling and hunt ing, have perished, thus seriously in creasing the difficulty of getting a living. During the winter of 1880-87, on account of starvation and consequent cannibalism, a party ot twenty-nine Ureo Indians was reduced to three. In the Mackenzie river district sev eral deaths by starvation and one or moro cases of cannibalism occurred Inst winter, and among the Fort Chippewayan Indians between twenty nnd thirty starved to death., and many women nnd children aro now perfectly helpless and must starve to death or eat ono another this winter, unless help comes.
