Editorial Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Read-
ers of THE AsToRIAN must excuse
us for not making detailed state
ments respecting the flood in the
Potomac last month, and the IN
auguration, two of the greatest
events in the history of our times.
We hesitated about enlarging upon
the FIRST Of these incidents because
we felt that almost everybody IN
Oregon had felt the effects Of
food at home sufficient 20 torego
interest in such matters abroad.
But in reality the food here was
very interesting sight. We had
been forced to realize how broad
cast was that storm Of January in
Oregon. We met it in California
the warm wave followed our train
across the continent, Chicago was
Overhauled by it on the night OF the
9Th Of February, and here, on the
9th the first street cleaning was
performed; as for more than sixty
days previous snow and ice wrap
ped the earth and the rivers were
frozen over, but when the Potomac
broke up it was with a boom and
a food. The Inauguration was the
grandest of all that has ever taken
place in Washington. Oi course
YOU have particulars as complete
as are required, and the new
Cabinet: Secretary of State, James
G. Blaine; Secretary of the Treas
urv. William Window; Secretary
of War, Robert r. Lincoln; Secre
tarv of the Navy, William II
Hunt; Secretary of the Interior

General, Thomas /. James; At

This struck the country as a cab
met weak in spots, possibly, bu
strong as a whole. Mr.. Blain'
is one Of the great statesmen o
the generation. He will be tn
guiding genius Of the administra
ton, and will prove, if we mistake
not, the best Secretary of Stat
the Nation has had for years. III
has a mission before him and h
will improve it. Mr.. Window.
safe, reliable man, essentially hon
est, is likely to conduct the treas
nry department on business princl
pies. Mr.. Lincoln has his father
name to begin on, broad basi

much to do. What is wanted II
the Interior Office is a straight
forward, practical person gifte
with horse sense, and Mr.. Kirk

him, fills this bill. Great thing

Columbia River Bar.

THE AsToBIAN has persistently
IN the past advocated the perma-
nent Improvement Of the mouth of
the Columbia river, and many |
times we have confidently i'm
agined that the efforts made were
about to be crowned with success.
"Hope deferred maketh the heart
Sick" says the old proverb, and
we confess II was with a feeling oc
sickening disgust that few days
since we read the particulars and
the result Of the debate in the
senate on Senator Slater's motion
20 increase the appropriation al
lotted to the Columbia river. We
had thought to pass the matter by
in silence, but as there Is a silver
lining to every dark cloud, we
have some satisfaction in knowing
that the manifest Importance Of
this much needed improvement IS
known to, and was thoroughly de-
monstrated by such distinguished
statesmen as Thurman, Salisbury
and other equally distinguished
gentlemen, and we therefore take
pleasure in publishing the follow
ing remarks made on the subject
bv the senators named. Mr.. Thur
man said:
Mr.. President, this bill proposes
very large expenditure of money.

THE Memphis contribution to the
Michigan sufferers amounted to nearly
$4,000, and no one misses what he gave.
Still more might be collected, and we
hope will be. Governor Jerome in
his address to the people of the United
States makes the startling announce
ment that more than 1000 lives have
been lost and that the lumbermen,
women and children, left without
shelter. are estimated at $4,000 This
is no common calamity and it appeals
more directly to people like ourselves
who know what it is to suffer and have
received aid in time of distress. We
hope the committees will continue
their efforts, and that the entire city
will be canvassed for dime and nickel
contributions, The colored churches
and societies are yet to hear from and
will probably render a very good
account.

How to secure Health.

suffer from arrangements brought on
by impure blood, when Scovills' Sar-
saparilla and Stillingia, orBlood and
Liver Syrup, will restore health. 1t
is the best blood purifier ever discov-
cred, effectually curing scrofula, syph-
little disorders, weakness of the kid
neys, erysipelas, malaria; all nervous
disorders and debility, bilious COM
plants, diseases of the blood, liver,
kidneys, stomach, skin, etc 1t cor
rects indigestion. A single bottle will
prove to you its merits as a health
remover, for it acts like charm.
