ASTOBIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY.
.NOVEMBER t. 1S5S.
Mr. Thurmax has obtained a cer
tificate which entitles him to register
on the 5th of November at Columbus.
This is necessary under the law.
Some individual with a taste for
statistics has ascertained that 500,000,
000 words of partisanship and tariff
and prohibition and general oratory
are uttered every seven days of this
political canvass.
The registration in New York city
will exceed that of 1884 by 50,000.
Chairman Quay thinks the proportion
of new voters will be equally divided.
Chairman Barnum says two-thirds
will be Democratic
Tns next census will show a na
tional population of upward of seven
ty millions, and before the present
century closes all the present terrl
tories will nrobably be numbered as
states of the Union.
More than one-sixth part of the land
of the globe and nearly one-sixth part
of the population of the world are un
der the control of Great Britain; Bus
sia ranks second in territorial extent,
and the United States third.
Jawes Gobdojt Biejnett arrived
from Enropo, Sunday week. About
his first work in the Herald office
was to adopt the French system of
having each item published, written in
the first person singular, and signed
with the name or initials of the writer.
Tnn London Standard's corre
spondent at Shanghai says: Eeports
from Corea indicate that the declara
tion of the independence of that coun
try may shortly be expected. The
Russian and American representatives
support the king, and the movements
of American and Bussian men-of-war
lend credibility to the rumor.
The Atlanta Constitution, of Octo
ber 22, says, "Now is the time for At
lanta to quiet down on the prohibi
tion issue." Certainly: talk is all
right, but the south is too sharp to
fool away good votes. By the way, in
the close state of New York is where
the prohibitionists are getting in their
fine work, as in '84. They are work
ing hard to beat Harrison in the piv
otal state.
TrPoanAPmcAi. errora are gener
ally excusable, but most certainly as
to this time with the Jacksonville
Times-Union, which apologized on
Saturday of last week for some recent
errors, by making the pathetic an
nouncement that the paper is "with
out foreman, proof reader or copy
holder in its composing room." Edwin
Martin, the Union's editor, died on
the day following the publication of
this explanation.
Uakada, with a ueut relatively a
dozen times as large as the United
States, proposes to spend y:u,uuu a
year, to which Great Britain adds
80,000 more, to keep three steamers
afloat on the Pacific, aiding the Ca
nadian Pacific to take the through
trade of American lines. "When our
own solitary line on the Pacific, which
our government refuses to aid, sue
'Cumbs to this subsidized competition,
ns the Collins line did to the like com
petition of English liners on the At
lantic, free trade papers will stand
ready to assure us that the result is
duo to protection, when the real rea
son is the absence of the protection
England gives its lines all over the
world.
FDITORIAT, COHMKXT
On llie Exit of Milord SaclTllIc
New Yobit, Oct.31. The Situ says edi
torially of Lord Sackville's recall: "If
Mr. Cleveland has erred in his treatment
of this annoying incident, it has been on
the side of over-deliberation, and yet it
maybe thought that the humiliation of
the British government is greater since
it failed to take advantage of the loophole
of escape offered it by Mr. Clevelahd, and
its minister is not recalled by it but
warned to quit by the government to
which ho is accredited. Mr. Cleveland
has reasserted the great commandment
of 'mind your own business,' and future
English ministers to this country will
probablv stick to it."
The Times says: "Tho incident is
ended in a manner altogether creditable
to the administration at Washington,
ana wiui mo least possime narm. mere
is only one way in which it is now likely
to have any effect upon voters, and that
is through the contempt it must excite
for the party for which it in all proba
bility was put up! Tho whole scheme
was for campaign effect. There is noth
ing more to be deprecated in our politics
than the assumption that there are
classes of voters whose a'ction is to be
determined by appeals to prejudices
founded on national distinctions that
have no legitimate connection with our
own affairs."
Tribune: A prompt rebuke admin
istered the instant Lord Sackville was
discovered meddling in our election
might have caused the people, in their
satisfaction with such maintenance of
executive dignity to overlook the fact
that the British minister was electioneer
ing in Cleveland's interest, because he
knew it was to the interest of Great
Britain, but the president waited too
long. He did not discover anything
wrong in the matter till the uproar in
country showed that exposure was hnrt-
iuj,'mm. j. nen ne got maa. ine minis
ter goes in disgrace. His electioneering
message remains behind. That cannot
De recalled.
Herald: "The dignity and self-respect
of the country, and Mr. Cleveland's'
own dignity, required, if so unpleasant a
thing were to be done, that it should be
done quietly, decently, without bluster.
Give Mr. Bayard his passports to Dela
ware, Mr. Clevclpnd. You cannot afford
to have such an incompetent andiiys
tericky person as your adviser. If you
retain him he will, before you know it,
make you ridiculous in the face of the
whole world. Or, if you must keep him,
do not take his advice on any subject ex
cept terrapin."
anJ!BANcisco, Oct 31. Commenting
editorially on the action of the president
in having Lord Sackville informed that
ms presence is no longer acceptable to
our EDTernment. the Examiner savs:
The president has taken the manlv.
straightforward course. This is always
natural to him. The agreeable and po
litio thine to do would have been to
make a show of indignant and energetic
action until after the election, and then
gradually to let the matter fade out of
sight, but Mr. Cleveland is not an adept
in tricks of this kind. A thing that is
serious enough to demand the pretense
of acting is serious enough in his eyes to
demand the acting."
The Chronicle says that LordSick
ville simply wrote a personal letter to a
correspondent at Pomona, this state, er-
Sressing sentiments the truth of which
e thought could be naturally drawn
from the observations of a man in y$
surroundings. "Sackville -must go, bnt
he leaves the letter behind him, and his
exit does not alter the truth p single
particle."'
THE H00SIEE STATE.
Both Sides Claim To Have The Pull.
Every One In Dead Earnest In Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct, 31. Thiugs
are very quiot these past few days
around the political headquarters,
both Democratic and Republican,
and in striking contrast with the bus
tle and excitement of a month ago.
Newspaper correspondents, who al
most hourly visit both headquarters.
are politely and abruptly informed,
"Nothing to-day," and to the unin
itiated it looks as though the cam
paign was growing dull and uninter
esting. To any one, however, who
has followed tho campaign in Indi
ana from its opening, it is apparent
that the third and last stage has
been reached, at least at head-quarters.
Tho speech-making or "gase
ous" period is being superseded by
the mathematical or "business" stage.
Tho political issues of the campaign
are no longer disscussed about head
quarters. They have been, worn
threadbare by the 2,000 orators en
gaged nightly on each side through
out the state, to say nothing of the
distinguished speakers from the out
side like Thurman, Hill, Mills, Blaine,
Foraker and others who have ad
dressed countless thousands in their
canvass. This new and silent stage
of tho campaign involves no decrease
in work or energy displayed at both
headquarters; on the contrary, both
state commutes are employing n
larger clerical force to-day than at
any time since the campaign opened.
Tons of public documents have been
distributed by each committee, yet
every train from Washington con
tinues to pour in bag after bag of
congressional literature, which is be
ing disposed of as fast as possible.
In addition to the large corps en
gaged in this work another and lar
ger force of clerks is compiling the
reports from tho county committees
and forwarding private circulars giv
ing instructions regarding tho eleo
tion.
Never were two great political par
ties engaged in more serious and
deadly warfare than the Democratic
and Republican parties of Indiana
to-day. They do not jest with one
another as in other years, but each
man speaks his convictions with a
seriousness only paralleled in war
days. Both state committees have
thus far taken two careful .polls of
tho entire voting population of the
state. The result of these polls is
kept a profound secret by both sides,
and while tho writer believes he
could state with reasonable accuracy
the aggregate figures as returned to
each committee, it would bo a viola
tion of confidence to say more than
that one committee seems highly
elated over their second poll, while
the other professes itself sutisfied at
the showing. There is reason for be
lieving that each committeo is now
engaged in taking tho third and final
poll of tho state, the result of which
will scarcely be known to the com
mitteo before the -1th of November.
Never in tho history of Indiana were
these houso to-house polls taken with
such frequency and care. From in
formation gleaned from reliable
sources on both sides, it may be
stated as a fact that each party esti
mates the floating vote of Indiana at
from 18,000 to 20,000. A largo pro
portion of this vote is regarded by
managers of both parties as subject
to influences at the last moment, and
it is this floating vote that now occu
pies the chief attention of both com
mittees. A large preponderance of
this vote, possibly two-thirds of it, is
commonly ctedited with residing
south of Indianapolis. County com
mitteemen from the five congress
ional districts occupying this terri
tory are found in frequent consulta
tion at both headquarters.

At Whccllnc IV. Va , Last Tuesday Mght.
You can see that it was the letter
of a villain right ou the face of it
The British miuister was such au ass
thnt he didn't know there wa3 any
trap set for him. The letter came
out in the newspapers just in time tor
Blaine's speech, and BlaiDO got on
the stand and threw up both hands
and cried out I don't give his exact
werds: "Great God! What is this
country coming tof There was no
necessity for that exclamation of
Blaine. The British minister had
done what he ought not to have done,
and if I ain't very much mistaken he
will find that out before long and
have his carpet 'bag packed for re
turn to England. Just on the eve of
election that fraud, comes out, and
no man can uphold it without being
an aider and abetter of a disgraceful
fraud. That thing has fallen just ns
nat as a pancake. It is clear gone,
and with it all their efforts to embar
rass one of the best presidents who
ever occupied the president's chair.

BL1IXE OX JTCECHISO.VS LETTER.
At Albsajr H. T. Last Tuetdar Klght.
The letter had been published for
four days, and lord Sackville had ad
mitted it, and Mr. Bayard had three
times criticised it by saying it was a
private affair and none of his busi
ness; and I referred to it in a public
meeting, and now Mr. Collins says it
is the most remarkable conspiracy of
modern times. Anything to get that
off their shoulders. No Bepublican
administration ever had the interven
tion of a .British minister and never
will. England would resent to the
lost degree any intervention in her
affairs by our minister, and if people
want to resent it they can resent it
one week from to-day, in a very sim
ple way. They cau resent it by
voting for Benjamin Harrison for
president. They can resent it by
votiDg for proteotlon to American
manufactures; they can resent it by
restoring lo power, with whose exist
ence the prosperity of the United
States for twenty-four years was iden
tified, the Republican party, which in
peace und in war has had the high
honor of the country at heart under
all circumstances.
