LzD hc Sailtj historian. ASTORIA. OREGON: SATURDAY. .MARCH 0. 18S9. Noble, the new secretary of war, is the only mugwump in Harrison's cab inet. Tnr. O. It. & N. Co. can't handle tho Columbia river engineers as easily as it did the Oregon legislature. Considerable interest is felt in Blaine's probable policy, some believ ing that he will be truculent and ng gressive. It is our belief (hat ho will neither run to a fight nor from one. "Which is most useful, a minister, or a phonograph?" is a question under discussion. Both are useful in their sphere. But a phonograph is more wonderful than a minister. The European press is much dis satisfied with Harrison's inaugural address. How sorry Harrison will be when he finds that he has failed to please the kings and kinglings across tho sea. Wonder how Blaine and Windom will get on together in the cabinet! In Chicago, in 'SO, Windom kept the presidential nomination from Blaine by beeping the Minnesota delegates for himself. But maybe Blaine is magnanimous enough to forgive if he can't forget. The total vote of the country for president has increased from 6,519,682 in 1872, to 11,3C9,4G1 in 1888, an in crease of nearly 73 per cent. Taken according to geographical divisions tho vote of the six New England states has increased from 521,036 to 821,683, a gain of 300,029, of 57.G9 per cent. The three middle states of New York, Pennslvania and New Jersey have gone from 1,501,671, in 1872, to 2,013,. 433 in 18S8, an increase of over 1,000, 000 votes, or over 07 per ent. cln 1872, what may now be termed the doubtful southern states, namely: Delaware, Mar land, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Vir ginia, cast 999,813 votes for pres idential candidates. Last November the total rote had increased to 1,663,691, an actual gain of 693,849 votes, or nearly 74 per cent. The gain in tho western states of California, Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Minne sota, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon and Wisconsin has exceeded tho gain in the south. In 1872 the total vote cast in these states was 2,602,258; in 18S8 it had reached 5,091,414, or near ly double. The impression appears to bo gen eral that tho United States has fewer ships than almost any other nation in the world, but this is a mistake of tremendous proportions. Tho fact is that only one other nation Great Britain has more ships than the United States. Wo obtain our facts from a comparison of tho total num bers and tonnage of ships of all sea going nations in 18SG, published by tho Universal liegister of Loyd's from which we take tho following figures: Number. Tonnage. Great Britain 9,a 1),01C,'.'13 Colonies 3,2)1 1,523,933 Total 13,232 United States 3,827 Norway 3,487 Germany 2,2.17 Franco 1,581 10,539,10; 2,043,1C7 1,417,522 1,424,791 1,029A"7 No other nation has a tonnage of 1,000,000 tons, but Italy approaches it with 943,199 tons. After all Hie dif ficulties under which our chipping in terests labor, on account of tho re bellion, the chango from wood to iron and steel, and tho failure of congress to encourage and protect it, like other nations do for theirs, wo cut a large figure as a sea-going nation. Tho time will come when tho people will compel congress to act fairly and justly toward this important interest When that time comes, we will again dispute with England for supremacy on the high seas. A Souutl legal Ojiinioii. K Bainbridge Muiiday Esq., County Atty., Clay Co., Texas says: 'JIaeuseu' Electric Bitters with most happy re sults. My brother also was very low with Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but was cured by timely use of this medi cine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his life." Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cae, Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: He postively believes he would have died had it not been for Electric Bitters.

Tlifi Wsvt.miner tr-rrnl row will print, with the greatest prominence, me following telegram from Breslnn. Rsrmsnn- Thn ..; 7o. senger Zeitung prints the following dispatch from Samea: The German frigate Olga has bombarded Mataa- ia s camp, xue captain of an Ameri can man-of-war protested, but seeing his protest disregarded, opened fire on tho Olaa. Tim oVioll hunt i.. between decks doing much damage. xne uiga men directed a torpedo at the American man-of-war, blowing her up, with all hands. -- Experience of a Dyspeptic. An Anburn parson, skeptical as to the mind cure, contributes the fol lowing anecdote which he declares to be the actual experience of one of his personal friends, says the Lewis ton Jeurnal: This man had been troubled with dyspepsia for a long time acd had tried various medicines unavailing'. "Why don't you try the mind cureJ" asked his wife, who wa3 a be liever. Pooh!" "At any rate it will do jon no harm." "I don't take a bit of stock in it. ' "You might try it just to please me, it for no other reason, I should think," At length tho man Joans, I will call him yielded to his better halt's importunities, as a good husband should have done, and went to Boston to see a mind curer. Ho was received in a barely furn ished room by a large woman and told her what his errand was. "Please take off your coat," said she. He obeyed. . "And your vest." Off went the vest. Sho pointed to a broad wooden bench without any back. "Now," said she, "I want you to sit down on that bench with your back against mine, for five minutes. Brace firmly against me and keep your mind perfectly passive. Think of absolutely nothing. The man sat down, sho sat down, and the treatment went on. Joans found that to keep his mind vacant and inactive was more easily said than done. Thoughts would keep popping in. He rapidly grew uneasy. The five minutes seemed to be half an hour in passing. "That will do," said tho woman, finally, "How do you feel now, sir?" "Feel! I feel like a confounded fool," said Joans. A New Postal Suggestion. II there is any point on which our postal system does not stand in need of improvement, it is in the cheapness of postage. Our newspapers are car ried within tho county of their publi cation for nothing and everywhere else for next to nothing, and a letter of an ounce weight is transported from any point to any other of our enormous area of 3,600,000 square miles, for the smallest unit of letter postage known in Christendom. Bat a far more important matter, and one wholly neglected, is that of postal delivery. In other civilized coun tries, the postoffice, receiving a letter from the writer under takes to deliver it to the person addressed. In our own happy land the postoffice receives tho letter, and (except in tho case of a privileged twenty per cent of the people) under takes to carry it to within live or ten miles of the person addressed, and keep it there till called for. This is the mere barbarism of postal service. worthy of the dark ages before Row land Hill. Tho enormous con and loss which it involves become ob vions to any one, on a few minutes' reflection. For ex ample: A man living three miloo fpflm fla rafrtflFrt id iitiTinnalw ,U41tbd num uu JJVJIUIUOU IJ HAiJUOiJ expecting a letter or great impor tance, wmcu may arrive any time within a fortnight. He goe3 daily to look for it, and on tho sixth day he gets it. That letter has cost him twelve hours of walking, or six hours of travel for himself and horse. In other words, tho postage on that let ter ha3 been virtually S2 02. or more. Tho government docs not get tho money, but the citizen loses it. The Heir Discovery.
