The Daily Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Or.) 1876-1883, 1883-10-28

An editorial in the November
Century on the disadvantages of
the American custom of choosing
candidates for Office nearly always
from among the actual residents of
a district, concludes as follows:
"In our opinion. a popular leader
would render his country no in
considerable service by breaking
through the absurd custom of a
hundred years, and presenting
himself for election in a district
where he did not reside; and we
are confident if the custom was
once broken, the advantages of
the new system would speedily be
recognized. One of the principal
uses of a congressman has hitherto
been the obtaining of small federal
offices for his constituents Un-
der the dawning regime of reform
this degrading misuse of represent
atives will be done away with,
and 'open constituencies will be
more possible and more probable
in America.

THE New York Times says:
One of the substantial fruits OF
the presidents journey through
the northwest is his resolve that
hereafter he will appoint no more
carpet-baggers as territorial gov
ernors. 1t is pious resolution,
and has been affirmed by many
predecessors of the president.
Arthur, nevertheless, had the old
way of sending to the territories
as executive officers, disappointed
and unsuccessful politicians from
older states, which has been per-
severed in without variation. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that the act
i've and enterprising population of
the territories would furnish atleast
one man competent to be govern
nor, to say nothing Of the secretary,
marshal and territorial judges.

The Postal Notes.

IN an article advocating the
substitution of fractional silver for
small bank notes, the New York
Herald says: "If Congress should
withdraw from circulation all the
small notes-ones,t ,twos and fves-
for which postal notes answer all
necessary purposes, it could safely
order the coinage of at least two
hundred and twenty-five millions,
of small silver, and this would
pass naturally and Immediately
into circulation as the small notes
were called in"
1t is difficult to see how the
postal notes answer the purposes
of circulation for small amounts.
Their value depreciates after they

must be returned to some Office of
issue and the holder must receipt
for them, even though he can't
write, and they are made payable
to bearer. There is no prospect
as there was probably no intention
that postal notes will become a
circulating medium TO the extent
to trench upon the territory now
occupied by the lower denomina-
tons Of bank notes. Under7coods
Reporter says that the postal note
may easily be "raised," and if this
is so, the fact alone will confne il
to its legitimate use, a convenience
of transmitting small sums by
mail, taking the former place OF
scrip and the latter place of post
age stamps.

CALIFORNIA can always be
counted on to furnish some inter-
esting items. Near 0roville in
Butte county, chasms yawn and
emit sulphury gases; in San Fran
cisco one or two earthquake trem-
ors have disturbed the citizens,
and at Merced, last Monday, a
piece of a bluff 200 feet long, 90
feet wide, and 80 feet high, fell
into the Merced river, changing its
current and course, and furnishing
fresh fish to the surrounding
country.

AMONG other brilliant ideas il

AMONG other brilliant ideas in
yesterdays Standard is the de-
claration that the ability of the
government to pay off the national
debt so rapidly does not argue
prosperity. As with individuals
so with nations; if a man is found
paying his former debts and get
ting up in the world financially,
the presumption is that he is pros
porous. The Standard indirectly
implies that somehow or other the
Republican party is to blame for
paying off so many millions OF
public obligation.

Two deaf mutes have just been
advanced to the dignity of the
pulpit in Philadelphia. This is
the first instance of the kind
which has occurred in this country.
1t is not impossible that these
silent preachers will become ex-
ceedingly popular. There are
hundreds of congregations all over
the country whose pastors have a
most uncomfortable way of pre-
senting the awful problems of good
and evil. of righteousness and un-
righteousness. Then there are
others who insist upon discussing
all the problems Of the day, max
ing 1t utterly impossible to enjoy
that most exquisite of all pleas
ures, a comfortable church nap.
With a mute preacher all these
difficulties would be avoided.
Each member could interpret the
sermon IN his own way, and if he
did not wish to subject himself to
the mental strain, he could indulge
in sixty minutes Of somnolency
without the least fear of being
rudely awakened. Speech is sill
vern, but silence is golden.

The Columbia Bar.

IL a few weeks congress meets.
The subject of harbor improve
ments will come up. The matter
of improving the Columbia river
bar is of prime Importance. 1t
never was in better shape to re-
ceive favorable consideration. The
report of the surveying party Of
engineers favors the construction
of a jetty from Fort Stevens to
point due west of the edge of Clat
sop spit. This is in accordance
with the best engineering judg-
ment of the country, and would,
beyond a doubt, have practical,
permanent and satisfactory effect.
Our three congressional represen-
tatives can and should greatly aid
in this matter. The aid required,
the only adequate aid on their
part, is concentration. Like the
turkey that tried to "spread her.
SELF over large Matching of eggs,
a congressman, particularly an
Oregon congressman, essays to
please too wide a constituency.
With the golden CLEAN of possible
reelection dazzling his sight, he
tries to be all things to all sections,
forgetful Of the fact that the best
interests Of his section demands
concentration of effort on the
subject OF chief Importance
That the improvement of the Co.
lumbia river bar IS the work of
chief Importance in the northwest
is universally conceded. That it
is yearly neglected is painfully
apparent. "How shall best
please the state and make every
thing all right for a renomination?'' ?''
is a good policy for a politician,
but bad one for the large mind
ed representative. In helping the
commerce Of the northwest in its
central artery, the Columbia, Ore
CONS congressional delegation can
best help the best interests of the
commonwealth. FritterIng away
appropriations made by commit
tees in an attempt to please wide
ly sundered constituencies NAV
secure votes for reelection but will
never be of practical benefit to
the state the representative is sup
posed TO represent.
