Carson, of Portland, paid a short visit to Asto ria, on his way to Long Beach. The senator said that lie was glad to see the Astoria road built and believed that it was for the best Interests of both Portland and Astoria that the road should be completed at an early date. In fact the entire state would largely be a gainer. "What do you think, senator, will be the result as to the handling of grain for export?" "I belierve that e. channel wl'.l always be maintained up the river by the state, for medium sized vessels at least, and that much of the business will be 'han dled as heretofore. The opening of the Cascades will enable boats to handle business from tho upper country through to Portiand nnd Astoria without break ing bulk, but probably all of the heavier vefsels .wlH be loaded In Astoria."- "From what territory will the river boats draw the wheat above the Cas cades?" 1 "Of course the river boats cannot get the Wheat above The Dalles and the percentage of the entire crop of Eastern Oregon and Washington which they can reach Will be very small, whKe grain can be loaVled in tho cars at any point to Astoria. I believe the railroad will be of the utmost Importance to the state at large." "What do you think the outlook Is for Astoria?" "I believe- your prospect are very bright and that a -large growth Is In store for the city of Astoria. The road cer tainly seems to be assured beyond a doubt, and that alone will make good times. Do not let your people, however, float a lot of wild-cat property and get loft after the first flush with a lot of real estate on their hands that cannot be handled and that will only bring down the prices of good property and rents. We have had a bitter experience In Port land and you should not make the same mistake. COUNTY COURT. The county court met In the circuit court room yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.

Teams Hauling Steel Pipe Said to Have Been Beaten. A prominent citizen yesterday reported to the Astorian that while coming down town to his place of business he had no ticed several teams hauling steel pipe up the 15th street hill to the water works, which were having considerable difficulty in overcoming the steep grade. The rain of the night before had made the planking very slippery, particularly on account of the dirt dropped by the graders rro.rv tne work; being done on Irving avenue, and the teamsters seemed to have little con sideration for their horses. The gentleman said that one driver was not content with using an ordinary whip, but employed a club with which the an imals were beaten over the bean. It was suggested that Astoria would make a good field for the humane society and that someone of authority should took after such cases as this, and see that the offenders are punished.

CHAMPION OF 1 HE PtOPLE How the "Bladder" JealouBly Guard ed the Cause of Truth, Hu . manity and Justice. WhKe raiding a gambling house one night last .week the police came across a iile of a publication termed the "As torla Daily Bladder," which was prompt ly confiscated. Through the kindness ot the authorities the Astorian will be en abled from time to time to -publish ex tracts from this "newspaper."1 The col lowing paragraphs wK'l serve to some extent to give people an k'ea of a styl of Journalism that flourished in Astoria before the coming of the railroad: (Selection No. 3.) The following beautiful poem descrlp tlve of the beautiful windings and reach lngs of the Columbia river has reached us from the pen of a admiring sub scriber, a lady one: 1. "O Oregon, thy waters rolls Adown thy hills and valleys between, And it la rapture to my soul And also ecstacy so great I ween. The crests and foam breaks o'er the sky And along the mountain and the fiery crater. Through the cultivated fields of barley and rye Where flourishes the Oregon grape and the potato. A total eclipse of Sister Luner will ap pear this evening. Punctual at 7 o'clock the fair sister will be hid behind the shadows, and we advise tha pol'.ltlcal rlngsters to get In their work while It lasts for there ileeds Is done In the dark and not the light of day No iman has got no strings on the Blad der. We are Independent and stand aloof from all but at the same time Is open to reason, and would like to remind those that take acceptlons to what we say that I am not here for my health far from It. There Is a cerUin Individual In this burg -who we are creditably Informed has his greasy eye on n fat po.ltical Job which he needs bad. Well, we are onto his little racket and he won't get It not much, if their Is any powers left in this editorial pen to cry out against any such a business. The time has come when we propose to take a hand In the political work of this section and friends comes In every hour of the day to pat us on the back and give us words of cheer for so doing. Tho party referred to Is a unworthy cub with a blasted repute else whore and here, and It Is with pride we pav down with such. They are out for the pap, and there is plenty of good citi zens, ourself inclusive 'Which nas priority claims to such little emoluments. They are little enough as the lord knows, The ads In the morning sheet Is not read only by a few calspaws who Is afraid to call their soul their own and Is dewn under the lash of the gang. Par ties who see the ads Immediately come down to the Kadder to find out weather It Is so or not and If It Is not In our col umns they denounce the ads as frauds of the 'first water. Why not get onto your selves people and .place your ads where thev will be read. We guarantee fair square deals and about quarter the prices that Is charged on tne punK sneets up tho streets. The circulation of the Bladder Is head and ears above any of our cotempora- rleB and monev savs so. We hereby ue posit the sum of one thousand shekels gold coin in our safe, and will hand it nvnr If our circulation can be proved not as big as nil the other sheets in this state combined except our friend the Skjumokwok Seagull which is in wasn. ,,! rtnea nnt count In this offer. Our brother scribe of the Seagull is on the same par as us and running along neck and neck. Success to you manner, The Bladder announces that It will give seventy debars gold eagles per month In order to remove the present editor of the morning rag and put a competent irontlr-man and no scruU In p.ace, editor does this to show that he has at he.irt the credits of this fair city wmcn is being disgraced by the gang on the itinrnlne sheet. And furthermore incy Is no iman so competent to fill that Job as George McMullen, which we wouia tQ gee get a blrtn SOmewhere. Geoige uf(nes occasional, but is a good man anu 10Oj) w better than the outfit that now run3 tne morning rag. Tlie dirty dog we engaged from Mish- ewashv to run our editorial spica wnen we was indisposed quit yesterday because we would not pay him more than $21.50 per month lor the Job, which U a fat salary these days and not to be sneered at. In times like these it behooves an oflflce to be careful of coin and there is no twenties to fling round promiscouos. At the mresent iwe are doing our own ed itorial work on our own shoulders and friends Is paying high compliments for the same. It Is somewhat amusing to see our morning cotemporary fall into lines aftr the Bladder bs cut out the path and led the way. Yesterday we anounced that the funeral of Nick GFleomber was to be held today and low and behold out comes the amateur rag with the same story this morning. The Bladder leads; all the rest follows. The poem on Oregon's waters pub lished In this issue will be reproduce in the Weekly Bladder, by spedaJ re quest and such a work throws credit on our poets, which we are glad to encour age by publication when not crowded out by twenty-seven columns ol local news more than we can get In which is often Iho case. The crap games is closed down for the most part. We seen brother Neely walking down Commercial today with a 2:40 smile releaved from the honorous cares of the seducing crap table for a few days. Wonder K that little chip we put on the favorite hoarse last Saturday night broke one of the gaimes wa ran mention? Ye editor Is blooded when he gets started. ..." Water rates Is due. The Ocean Wave came down yesterday In place of the other boat. She will be on the root again tomorrow. The state of po.iticS in this county is very much mixed and we hear that more jeople Is coming Into the swim for po litical honorlorlums. The party led by the Pladdfr long may they wave which they will as the boys is now In office and has an eftiolent record to point to. The Republicans Is dood and the swing of the pendulum has delegated them to Hades this season and they will be heard of no more for many moons. Indeed from all we can guage such Is the state of public opinion that a yellow dog could get In on our party- this year, and there Is many such. But keep the mongrels out say we and put In men that has sense to stay by their friends and not snap at tho hand that gave them a bone. There is schemes on foot already by the Repub licans and so called Democrats to play off a trade and us In the -whole, but we are unto It and hereby warn them to go slow or they will get Into a man trap that will make them howl. One scheme in particular Is the Job of city attorney which some cubs we could name has their eyes on. Well, time will show, say we. Pro bonus publico Is our motto all the time, and we propose to be the watchdog of this business.. THE ECLIPSE.

Is the Increase of farm tenancy In the United States as shown by the last cen sus, the sign of an "awful evil" as some assert? The facts In the case arc suffi ciently important to be of general inter est. The total number of farms, according to the census of 1890 was 5,764,641. The number cf these farms operated by their owners was 3,269,728, an increase during the previous ten years of 2S5.422. The number of farms operated by tenants was 1,294,876, which was an increase dur ing the ten years of 270,312. The number of farm 'laborers working for wages in 1890 was 3,004,015, which was 219,761 less than In 1880. During this perod the number of all the farms of the country had increased by 650,734, and the entlrj population ha'd Increased 12,500,000. One inference from these facts Is that a largely increased amount of farm work Is now toeing done by means of labor saving .machinery. Another lnferenco is that the Increase In the number of farm owners is decided ly greater than the corresponding in crease in the number of farm tenants. In other words, many farm tenants must have come to be farm owners. Of course, so far as farm tenants have grown to be farm owners, the sign is al tcgether favorable. Is it a good Blgn to have so many fam ilies l,6tM,433 In all occupying farms as tenants? The answer to this question woold seem1 to depend on two conditions. First, Whether, on the whole, livelihood on farms as tenants Is really preferable to the livelihood which those families would be likely to get In other occupa tions, especially In cities, or as hired laborers on farms. Second, whether or not, on the whole, the tendency is from farm tenancy to farm ownership? Two men, the one going up a hill, tlie other going down, may be seen on the same level with each other. It makes all the difference, however, which way each one Is going. The undeniable fact, then, about farm tenancy In the United States is that the tenant Is apt to become an owner. That surely Is not an aw-.'ul sign, but a particu larly good one. Another point of Interest Is, What cla33 are tho farm tenants recruited from? If tho number of tenants Increase'! more than the number of owners that might indicate that owners of farms were lap sing into mere tennnts. But the facts are just the other way. The increase in tenants must come from the ranks of tho hired laborer. The conclusion of the whole matter, therefore, is that the sympathetic ca lamity howler as to farm tenancy In the United States, If he will read the facts Intelligently, will find his lugubrious minstrelsy out of a job. He would better Jltch some other tune and Just whistle. AlN APOLOGY HY A COMPLAINT. Next to Washington, General Greene was the best officer of the revolution. His vigilance was unceasing, and he was ever on the alert to attack the enemy at advantage, or to guard against sur prise by superior numbers. In his cam paign In North Carolina, against tne larsrer and better equipped army of Corn- wallis, he spent many hours of the night In vl.slting every part of the camp, and Inspecting the sentinels and officers on guard. One night he was passing the tent of Col. Greene, a namesake, but no rela tive, who was one of the most trusted officers, his quick ear detected snoring, which Indicated that tho vigilant soldier had dropped asleep.
