ASTORIA. OREGON:
FRIDAY.
...... JUNE C, 1890
CtCjraaA County OMcIal Paper.
VThats tbe matter with having a
constitutional convention? "Wearing
tie present state constitution is like
SH&ing a ten jear old boy wear
the ssaae clothes that fitted him when
be was a two j ear old.
A teas, ago to-day Seattle was par
tially destroyed by fire. Astoria sent
sympathy and a thousand dollars to
tie stricken city. To-day Astoria
seeds congratulations to her stalwart
aster on her remarkably recuperative
powers and is glad to note her pros
perity. Tkts office is in receipt o a pam
phlet summing up the weather reports
t Oregon for larch. The state pajs
good money fortius foolishness. If
there is auythiug more useless than
telling a man in June what the
weather was in March it has not re
ceatly come under the writer's obser
vation. Thk usual iost mortems are being
held over the result of last Monday's
election. They are useless. We must
sll live together and to fan the fires of
dying revenge or add vigor to a fac
tions! fight that would die if neglected
isnot the province of peaco. Let har
mony prevail, and let us do what we
can to help the town and each other,
and let the past go.
At the beginning of the year it was
estimated that about 600,000,000 was
invested in the electrical industries.
The telegraph companies had S120,
030,000; telephone, SS0,000,000; electric-lighting
and power companies,
$300,000,000; electrical supply com
panies, $100,000,000. There is no
manner of doubt that another jear
will show S1,000,000.000 invested in
electrical industries.
The common council of the city of
Chelsea, in Massachusetts, has passed
an order requesting the Mayor to pe
tition the Legislature to allow the
same "Chelsea" to bo changed to
oe that shall be adopted by a major
ity vote of the citizens. The council
alleges that there is an expression
commonly used in various parts of the
coaatry, "As dead jis Chelsea," and
that this phrase is seriously damaging
the business prosperity of the city.
A London beautifier has invented a
ew face powder, warranted not to rub
off. Powder puffs need no longer be
carried about in mysterious pockets,
ss this powder remains just the same
for quite twelve hours. The hand or
arm that is burnished with it leaves
wfmark on a black coat sleeve. This
osfht to be a great relief to the minds
of sentimental young couples. A face
powder that tells no tales is as great a
-a boon in its -way as a gunpowder that
makes no noise.
BETonTs of the bonded debt of the
several states have been received atthe
oeoeas office, showing the following
figures for the Pacific slope, as com
pared with the census of 18S0: Cali
forniain 1SS0, $5,090,760; in 1890,
$5,330,050. Nevada in 1880, $791,
093; in 1890, $651,839. "Washington
in 1S30, 75,000; in 1830, 451,000. Or
egon in 1SS0, 43 cents; in 1890, 15,
000. In 1SS0 the gross debt was: In
California, 7,212,075; Nevada, 996,
847; Oregon, 158,606; Washington,
$306,757. In 1890 the figures show;
California, 5.G07:450; Nevada, 857,
277; Washington, 1,170,637; Oregon,
$782,015.
The commissioner of the general
land office wants an increased force of
special agents for investigation of land
frauds in California and on the Pacific
coast. He says that an additional
niunber of agents are necessary to
bring some of the land offices abreast
of the current work, particularly in
ie mountain ana timber regions.
"There," he explains, "the season dur
iac which agents can work in the field
is short and a large force must be
aeed for a short period to accomplish
any substantial good. In California
there are between 2,000 and 3,000
cases, and a large force should be or
ganised tor active worn as soon as
spring opens. The same may be said
of Oregon."
Marrtaoe by contract is a present
fad.. Kecently in San Francisco, F.
B. Blue and Miss Gertrude Michner
were thus married and are seemingly
happy. An Examiner reporter called
oa the bride, who is a pretty and quite
SateBigent young woman. She ex
patiated on the beauties of contract
triages, and concluded by saying
tfeat when the bond became a burden
ft could be mutually dissolved and
society need not be shocked by a
firorce scandal. When informed that
she state of California is a third party
to that contract and would not consent
to its. annulment except on legal
grosfidb by process of law, the bride
was astonished and simply said: "You
awt be mistaken." But the reporter
i right and Gertrude was mistaken.

Monet is a thing created by law.
It has no existence outside of. law.
The substance from which money is
made, may be a commodity, but
money is not a commodity, though a
large number of financial writers
have made the mistake of calling it so.
There is no international money.
Gold and silver, as bullion, is a com
modity, and as such is transferred from
nation to nation at a given rate.
Its price varies, but not so with
money. Money has a fixed value,
and although the metal out of which
a coin is made may change in value,
the coin itself, in the nation where it
is made does not change in value.
The 412 grains silver dollar
is a dollar to all intents
and purposes in the United
States, as much as the gold dollar of
258-10 grains. Tho value of the bul
lion in one or the other may change,
but tho value of the coin is fixed by
statute law, and does not change.
There is therefore no such thing
in existence as an 80o lecral
tender dollar. It cannot exist The
silver dollar of the United States is a
full legal dollar, and will purchase as
much of any commodity in the United
States as any gold dollar. But the
laws of one nation cannot make a coin
pass in another nation for more than
its bullion value, so there is no inter
national money. Debts are paid be
tween nations in commodities, wheat,
corn, manufactured goods or gold and
silver bullion.
It is quite probable that by the be
gining of the twentieth century inven
tions will be completed which will
make aluminum as cheap as iion.
Then will come such a revolution in
the industrial world that people will
thank Providence they have been
permitted to live in such a time of
wonder. Already aluminum is as
cheap as the metal nickel. This
is because of American inventions
for extracting it from clay.
By and by the supreme moment
will come when science will yield to
persistent effort the grand secret alto
gether. Then will be seen mountains
of this beautiful metal. Houses glit
tering like Aladdin's palace will be
built of it They will not burn, they
will not rust, they will need no paint
The greatest revolution, however,
will be in marine commerce. Ships
will be built of this .splendid metal in
stead of iron or steel. It is
only one-quarter as heavy as
iron, therefore will only sink
slightly into the water. Where now
harbors must have water thirty feet
deep to accommodate our monstrous
ocean steamers, seven or eight feet
will be all that is required to float
aluminum ships of the same size. Car
wheels and cars made of aluminum
will flash in burnished splendor, with
never a break or rust. What a sight
it will be, the navies of the world,
built of aluminum, darting like birds
hither and thither in their shin
ing evolutions. It may yet be that be
fore the new United States navy is
finished we shall hear of the building
of fast alumninum crosiers. The
problem of the navigation of our shal
low American rivers will be solved
without appropriations from congress,
for this kingly metal can be
made into machinery and serve
any purpose that iron now does,
and steamboats -drawing three feet of
water will answer every purpose.
Most wonderful of all, however are
the possibilities that loom up in the
imagination in respect to airnaviga'
tion. Machinery made of this light,
strong metal can be put into air ships,
and will not be too heavy to beheld
aloft while it propels them.
