The Daily Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Or.) 1876-1883, 1883-11-09

An official account of the opera
tions of the French army in Ton
quin has just been issued by the
home government and gives very
favorable view of the situation in
the east. The position of the
French, it is said, has materially
improved. They now hold all the
strategic points in the Red river
delta, and only await reinforce
ments to complete the pacifcation
of the country. There can be
very little doubt that the actual
condition of affairs in the east is
much graver than the official re-
port would lead one to believe.
Very little light is thrown on the
matter by the dispatches which
are received from the scene of
trouble from time to time, but the
opinion gains ground that the de-
ly in which the negotiations be-
tween the French and the Chinese
governments has resulted has gone
far 10 weaken the French position.

SOME wise man once said
"Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" The remark continues
to be quoted because it cannot be
improved. A due regard for
municipal safety also suggests a
certain amount of vigilance. There
is quiet movement at present to
form little combination that may
result to Astoria's great injury, in
placing in the mayors chair a man
who would be only cats paw for
an unprincipled vagabond. Dur
ing the past two years Astoria has
been fortunate in the matter OF
municipal officers. The placing
in power of a man with no inter-
ests in the city and whose instinct
and education alike lead him to
affiliate with those who would
suck the blood of the city, would
be of lasting injury to this COM
munity. 1t would be one of the
cases where the tall would wag
the dog, and the dog would steal
what he was set to guard. Should
the issue come between midnight
murder and public veal, the result
must be a victory for the right,
and for the material interests that
center in our prosperous city.

Old and New Immigration.

THE matter of immigration is
an important one in our national
life. The overflow of Europe, we
represent many creeds and nation
alities. In the early times those
who emigrated crossed the Allan
tic in search of civil and religious
liberty; each pioneer had a pur-
pose, each pioneer a high resolve;
the Puritans to New England, the
English Catholics to Maryland, the
French Huguenots to South Caro-
lima. These handfuls of earnest
men and women made their i'm
press and exercised most potent
influence. Their ideas were fer
vent, their hopes were full of lofty
aspirations. In them lived the
spirit of the zealot, the martyr, the
reformer, and the enthusiast.
But increasing wealth and the
changes that effect succeeding
generations are notably influencing
the new immigration. The human
itarian; the seeker after truth; the
jealous lover of liberty, that how
come to this country are lost in
the throng of those who are i'm
PEELED by motives of thrift and
gain, and who come solely to bet.
ter their condition. This is but
natural; its effect attracts atten-
ton. A Sacramento paper of re-
cent date says that the only native
American merchant in that city
was closed out by the sheriff last
week. This is illustrative. Social
ly, politically, religiously, mechan'
ically, industriallY, commercially,
and Intellectually, the United
States is in the hands of men who
have accepted it as heritage, anC
who will transmit it to a succeed
ing generation that will doubtless
view their existing order of thing.
with as much surprise as many OF
the present day.

What Governors Cost.


The two highest salaried governors
of the states are those of New York
and Pennsylvania; who receive S1O,-
600 year each. The next highest are
those of California, Nevada and Hi
nois, who get $1,000 each. The gov
ernors of Colorado, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Missouri, New Jersey, Virginia
and Wisconsin are paid $1,000 each.
Most of the other governors are paid
from $500 to $4,000, which latter fig
ure is the Fay allowed by the great
state of Ohio. Most of the Southern
states pay $1,000 to $1,000. The low
est salaries paid are to the governors
of Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Michigan. who receive but
$1,000 each. No wonder Governor
Begole, of Michigan, bsgs from the
railway companies one of those little
red pocket books for himself and

\ uIan who evidently thinks he
knows, says: 1t is easy enough 10
win husband. Most any attractive
little dumping with Il bright eye and
a coaxing voice can gather in noble
husband, but it Is pretty difficult to
retain him. Noble husbands are
thicker than hair on a dog, but the
grand difficulty is to draw out their
true nobility and secure it at home.
If n wife only understands her bus
mess she can introduce the soothing
racket in her new field of operations
and walk away with the whole bust
ness. Most men like to be loved and
soothed. There is something in the
mans great, rough, earnest nature
that can be won quicker and easier
with gentleness and pie than by the
logic of the broom-handle and a bill
ious course Of reasoning with bread
and milk diet.
We have seen girl who under
stood her business take reformed
road agent by the nose, SO to speak,
and lead him through life in such
way that he wouldn't know but that
she was boss of the ranch. So perfect
was the delusioa that when she asked
him to bring in a seattle of coal, or
get up in his night-shirt and kill a
| burglar, that he knew was nothing
but a bobtailed COW four blocks away,
he always went, and he felt as though
he counted mark of special favor
that poor, unworthy worm OF the
dust, like him, should be sought out
and delegated to go and chase lame
COW across nine vacant lots with an
old barrel-stave, and clothed in moth
ing but little brief authority and a
knit underShirt.
We cannot exactly describe this
magic power of Il devoted wife over
her husband, and we do not intend to
| try it. 1t is an unseen motive, a
nameless leverage that makes the hus
band get up in the dead hour OF the
night and set the pancake batter
near the parlor stove.
A man need not think thai because
he gets up and looks for burglars in
the night and is otherwise obedient
that it is because he has no backbone.
1t is simply because he is the husband
of a woman whe, by her constant
kindness and love makes him prou'
to be her slave.

How Much 1t Costs to Feed a Cow.


The cost of feeding a COW is an ele-
ment of some interest in the dairy.
There are many dairy farms upon
and feed is purchased with the money.
At times this is profitable opera
ton. When crops can be grown that
will sell for 800 up to several hun
bred dollars per acre, it is far more
profitable to raise these and buy feed
for the COWS, if only the manure is
left for the profit. There are many
districts, where dairying is an esta-
blished and profitable business, In
which manure is worth 50 ton. So
that The keeping of cows upon pur-
chased food, and the growing OF mar
ket crops, hops, small fruits, tobacco,
and other special products, may be
combined conveniently and probably,
In these cases the cows will be kept
partly or wholly upon soiling. Then
the question arises What does it
cost to keep COW?
A COW of moderate size, as a Jersey,
Ayrshire, Devon, or ordinary native,
will consume from 20 to % pounds Of
fodder and feed daily; the fodder be-
ing less in amount rs the feed IS in
creased. And here an important point
comes up, for sometimes feed can be
purchased as cheap as fodder. Bran
and corn meal are at times as cheap
as hay. And generally the difference
in this respec., is so small that it al
ways pays to use hay or fodder only
in such an amount as will effect the
perfect digestion of the finer food.
The writer uses a regular ration of 10
pounds Of fodder and 10 pounds of
meal daily, and this has been found in
several years practice the best for the
production of milk and the condition
of the COW. Then such a ration will
cost from 10 to 20 cents daily, equal to
IL to21s cents a quartfor 10 quarts OF
milk. or 10 TO % cents per pound OF
butter.
Many useful considerations occur
from this fact. How many cows fail
to pay for what they eat? How many
farmers Gould better afford to give
away their cows and sell the feed and
grain they consume? How many
farmers might make good profit by
feeding some meal instead of hay, and
so increasing the product of milk
How much more profitable is it to keep
a good COW than a poor one? How
but space would fail to follow up this
questioning to the end, and we leave
the rest for our readers to cegitate

Figures Prove Falsehood.


Mahone's charge that the negroes
were not permitted to vote at the re-
cent election because of violence is eff
fectually disposed of by the fact that
the Readjusters, whose vote came
largely from the negro element. cast
12695l votes in the legislative cleo
tions of 1889, against 1892 in the
congressional elections last year, and
111.473 in the gubernatorial campaign
of 1881, when the Mahoneltes scored
their first v;cto ry. The reserve vote
came out, the DEMOCRATS casting 144.-
SS5 this year, against 99,757 in 1881
and "a, 1S4 last year. The increase in
the vote over last year was over 75,-
600, and as the Democrats perfected
their organization and brought out
an excess of the increase they carried
the state and landed Malone high and
dry. Such figures as these show that
if fraud was committed it was in the
nature of swelling the vote unduly
and not by its reprcs, ion. Malone
will have to invent more probable
story than this before the bloody shirt
can be resurrected and new incarna-
dined.

Street Car Murder.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 30.-At 1 o'clock this
morning Frank Atkins, living in the north
western portion of the city, known us Walnut
Hills, was awakened by firing. He found

and ran. Entering the car he found John Cos

conductor, bleeding and Unconscious on the

a surgeon. The men remained Unconscious, the
wounds being in the abdomen and are sup
posed to be necessarily fatal. There are no
witnesses to the shooting. but parties who got
off of that car before the shooting tell OF d

Maids of MUSCLE

New York Letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer !
There is a swell gymnasium for
women and L suppose men would
laugh at the exercises, just as they
heartlessly do when Il girl attempts to
throw ball. The exercises consists
largely Of misunderstanding,
dumb-bells, percussion and the like.
The dumb-be'l exercises are vigorous
and graceful. AS Il piano gives the
measure and drum the particular
emphasis, the gymnasts perform diff
cult figures with unison and precision.
The solid phalanX. a novel movement,
is formed by double circles of girls
advancing quickly toward the center
until close body is formed, the girls
going united in the smallest eonGeiva-
bic space, and there performing gym
nastic posturings. Such q lump of
active loneliness would make mans
eyes glisten, but no masculine gaze is
permitted.
The percussion exercise is odd. The
rows of performers are divided into
groups of two, and each one of the two
percussed the other on arms. legs,
breast and back with quick, decisive
strokes to the music. Indian club
swinging is a button-snapping, seam
opening sort of exercise and only few
OF hegirls are adopts at it. Alta class
exercise | saw eleven Of these fair
athletes lightly dancing around the
room. Stopping for moment to- take
full breath, they then swung the clubs
with remarkable strength and ease.
Running jumps are possible to only
few. L have, however, seen the bar
raised to height of four feet and
lightly cleared. Others easily made
their way through the air by means of
suspended rings. The woman pro-
lessor in charge of the gymnasium
teaches the pupils how to walk. There
is style of walk sanctioned by fash
ion, the same as there are rules in
dress. Instead of assuming languid,
willowy movement and inclining the
body forward, which used to b0 the
style, the New York girls are going
to the other extreme. The aim now
is to march like diminutiye gren-
