(X) t gaittj gtotfmu ASTORIA. OREGON: SATOKDAY OCTOBER 19, 1SS9. AN ERA OF NATIONAL GROWTH. IN WEALTH AND IMPROVE MENT. The last census found S7,000 miles of railroad in the country. But at the closo of September of the present year there were 102,000 miles of railroad. The growth of states in population, im provement and wealth has been very un equal. North Carolina and Pennsylvania were about equal as to population in 1780, or a little more than a hundred years ago. The former now has a population of 1,399,750; the latter state has 4,232,891. The former has a property valuation of 446,000,000; the latter has 5,393,000,000. The per capita wealth of North Carolina is 319; in Pennsylvania it is 1.259; The average value of land in the former is G per acre; in the latter it is 45. North Carolina has a larger area by about 7,000 square miles; and hat also a milder climate than is round in Pennsylvania. The latter is a great manufacturing state, and is a stanch supporter of a protective tariff. North Carolina has few manu factures and has never been to any gre at extent in favor of a tariff for protection. One other fact has had much to do with this inequality. North Carolina was a slave state up to the date of Lincoln's proclamation. Pennsylvania was a free state and for more than half n centum had not been hampered with slavery. The industrial policies of the two states were always in contrast. The natural wealth of Pennsylvania is probably greater; but touching this point there is ifeome doubt. That of the latter state has had a wonderful development. Coal and iron, aside from agriculture, are two great sources of wealth. North Carolina to-day is an undeveloped state as to its great natural resources. It has'coal, iron, the best of timber, with a less productive soil than that found in Pennsylvania. There are also some striking contrasts in New York and Virginia. In 1780 the population of the latter was more than double that of New York. But taking all the territory of Virginia, including that in "West Virginia, there is a popula tion of 2,131,022, whilo New York has 5.082,211. The entire wealth of Virginia in 1830 was 1,000,000,000; but that of New York was 7,019,000,000; and farm lauds in the latter state had an average value of 44.41 an acre, while in old Virginia the average value of farm lands was 10.85 an acre.Vith 13.02 for West Virginia. But Virginia has never supported a pro tective tariff, and was a slave state until Lincoln's proclamation took effect. The contrast is greater as to wealth if the fact is kept in mind that the natural re sources of Virginia aro far greater than those of New York. Virginia is rich in minerals, particularly in coal and iron, and it is comparatively poor from lack of development. The contrast between Ohio and Kentucky is nearly as great. The one is a tariff state and the other is not. It is a fair inference that hereafter these contrasts of growth will be less striking. All the former slave states have entered on a new career of pros parity. A great deal of industrial capi ta! has been pouring into these states. The census covering the present decade will probably show -a greater degree of prosperity in the older of the southern states than has been known in any other decade of their history. The coal and iron mines of the middle and northern states are to a largo extent uncovered. Ohio has 39,901 square miles, with 3,525, 000 population; while Kentucky has 37, CS0 square miles, with 1,727 590 popula tion. Yet the former state is the oldest, and the difference m area is compara tively small. Kentucky is now a growing state and has entered upon a now era of prosperity. The influence of slavery must now be counted out as to ' future growth. Yet that growth will de pend upon the industrial policy which the state adopts. The coal, iron and lead now untouched, awaits development. One industrial policy stimulates this de velopment and the other does not. The industrial policy which has made such great and prosperous states as New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, is a good one for the whole country. It goes as well in the states west of the ltocky mountains as in the states east of that boundary.fi At the present ratio of growth a larger population will bo added to the country in nvo years man was coniaiuea in the original thirteen states when they entered the Union. Probably the new era of growth and development will, at the end of 'another decade, present as many striking facts in the groat territory lying between tho Missouri river and the PaciGc, as in any other part of the coun try. There are iuauy towns and cities yet to spring up where to-day the survey or's chain has not been laid. A SERIOUS BLTJNDER A Lady Nearly Prostrated toy a. Pat ent Medicine. A lady well-known In tho "Western Addition has been a great sufferer for years with In digestion and dyspepsia. Struck with tho testimonla' praising Joy's Vegetable Sarsa parilla, Bho sent for a bottle. Tho druggist, not haying It, talked them into takinganother Earsaparilla. AstholeadlngEarsaparillastiso mineral blood purifiers, tho effect of tha emptying of iodido of potash into a stomach already distressingly delicate was disastrous, almost prostrating her before tho mistake was rectified. Sho then called upon Mrs. Fowler, of S27 Ellis street, whoso name was among those cured by Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Mrs. Fowler said it was true that it had cured her. Again reassured, tho vegetable com pound was lent for and gotten. The gentle action of its vegetable stimulants upon tho liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and its warm, stomach tonics, were tho very things needed, and ehe began improving and was her old self within a fortnight. This sounds ltt;o fiction, but tho names can be given if $ces5r, S9n rranntco Examiner. TELEGRAPHIC . Specials to Tlie Astorian. News Proin All Over this Continent. Poetland, Oct. 18. A mysterious case of shooting took place at Mount Tabor last evening about 7 o'clock, in which Mrs. C. F. Willis came near losing her life. Tho circumstances, as related bj Mr. Willis, aro as follews: He went homo last evening, drove to tho stable, which is between tho house and Haw thorne avenue. According to custom, his wife came out to meet him. As she left the cottage door she heard a noise in the woodshed, which is directly in front of the house. Thinking something was wrong there, she walked toward the shed door. Just as she reached the corner where the light from the windows of the neighbor's house fell upon her, the hus band heard a gun shot. Rushing to where she was, he found her lying pros trate upon the ground, almost in a dead faint. An examination revealed that no wound had been inflicted, but her hat, which she wore at tho time, had been perfor ated through the rim by a ball, which had carried enough burnt powder with it to badly discolor the straw. The ori gin of the shot is an unfathomable mys tery. DEATH OF JAMES m'DEVITT. James McDevitt, the 15-year-o!d lad who was shot down by the negro porter. Gibbs, last Friday night, died at 1:40 o'clock this afternoon, after bearing his pains without complaining any more man no couiu uein, so as to relieve ins stricken parents of unnecessary grief at nis sulienugs, which must liavo been great.

Its tandem wheels are placed directly under it, and like tho similarly arranged wheels of tho coaches, they run on a single rail. Tho passenger coaches aro built two stories high, and are divided into compartments, each holding four people. High in tho air, above tho rail on which the engine and cars run, there is a guard rail supported on crane necked posts. This is several feet above tho second story cars. Arms reaching up from tho body of tho cars, as well as from the engino, support small horizontal wheels, which clutch tho guard rail and keep tho train on the single rail. The gnard rail bears no weight, and tho inventor declares that tho side pressure is very slight. TnREW UP THEIR contract. Ottawa, Oct. 18. Tho Dominion gov ernment has received a cablegram from Messrs. Anderson of London continuing tho statement that the found themselves unable to fulfil tho contract they pro visionally' entered into with the govern ment of Canada to placea fleet of steam ships averaging 18 knots per hour be tween Canada and England. No reason is assigned, tho Andersons stating that a full explanation has been forwarded by mail.
