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

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

A OKE TRACK RAILROAD.
New York, Oct. 18. A railroad with
one 'track has been put into successful
operation at Coney Island. It is limited
to experimental purposes at present, A
Boynton, engine, simply a steam bicy
cle, is used. 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.
