THE prominent place that the
growler occupies in American
politics was we'll illustrated last
week. A report reached Wash
ington, that Seymour, the Ameri-
can consul at Canton, had been
murdered by Cinnamon. In the
same dispatch that spread the
rumor, was given the opinion of
some growler that the Chinese
government would not be called
to an account by our government
because the United States didn'i
protect her citizens, but had il
been England-0h, dear, yes
had it been England, how the Bri.
tish lion would have growled and
the Chinese dragon trembled
Now it appears that the rumor hac
no foundation, that Seymour's life
was not even threatened; but i
gave the growler chance to ge
some bile off his stomach, anC
doubtless he feels better.

A DISPATCH from Vladivastock
states that the steamer ksmschatka
arrived on the 10th, and reports
that eleven trading schooners, ma
tionality unknown, after driving
off the American guardship Leon,
belonging to the Alaska CONNER
cial Company, stationed at the
island of Tjuulemj, landed sixty
armed men, including some Jap
anese, and took possession of the
island. The Leon Immediately
proceeded to Korossaowsky sta
ton, on the island of Saghallen
and demanded assistance. Owing
to the small number of the garrf
son there was no assistance avail
able. When the Kamschatk;
passed Tjulemj her captain saw
eight schooners lying off th'
island.

TIE human race, with all its
freight of commerce, its barbarlsm
and civilization, its arms and arts,
through pestilence and prosperity,
across seas and over continents,
like one mighty caravan, has been
moving forward since creations
dawn, from the East and West,
with the sword and crown, helmet
and distaff, to the conquest of the
world; and like a mighty army,
leaving weakness behind and or
ganizing power in the advance.
The Economist comes to the con-
clusion that the same inevitable
cause that wrested human power
from the cities of the ancients,
and vested 1T for a time in the city
of the Caesars, and thence moved
it to the city of London, will in
time, cross the Atlantic Ocean and
be organized and represented ii
the fnture great city of the world
which is destined to grow up OF
the American continent; and tha
this power, wealth and wisdom
that once ruled in Troy, Athens
Carthage and Rome, and are nov
represented in the city of London
will find its resting place in Nortl
America, and grow up in one o
the United States. In this west
ward march of civilization, W,
know that the center of the world
commerce, which was once repre-
sented by the cities of the Medi
terranean, has moved westward t
the Atlantic Ocean. Huma
power is still moving westwar
and with an irresistible tendency
and is destined to be organized o
this continent in its most absolut
and gigantic form.

To the surprise of the New

to prove that his client, John Will
liams, charged with murder, was
insane, the client denied the charge
and asserted his sanity. The law

John asserting his sanity, was
under the circumstances, the best
possible proof that the man wa:
mistaken.

The Astoria Railroad.
ASTORIA, October y, 1888


Ed. AsroRIAN:
Bond takers are furnishing the
money for extending the o. q c.
railroad into California.
No difference what the estimate
is or the cost may be of construct
ing the road from Astoria to
Forest Grove it will be far less
per mile than on the road into
California. Besides the land grant
on the Astoria route is far more
valuable per mile than on the
southern route. 1t would seem
that if it were a good investment
in the California extension it
would be better on the Astoria
extension. AS the road construct
ed and to be constructed from AS
toria to the California line and all
the lands granted to the same are
pledged to secure the perferred
stock, and the lands. On the
whole, it would seem to be the
part of financial wisdom to secure
the northern end as a better
security for the money already
invested.
But Mr.. Willard says he will
abandon the project of building
the road to Astoria and he is the
trustee for bond holders and pre-
ferred stock holders. If Willard
means by that announcement that
the Astoria land grant will be no
longer claimed, then congress
NAV do what it chooses with it,
then the people will inquire what
is to be done with the land
along the road from Portland
TO McMinville, which is commonly
termed "the earned portion" The
grant was made for the purpose Of
building an entire road from Port
land to Astoria, not a branch from
Forest Grove to McMinville. II
was not to build such a part as the
Company might see fit to build
To give or patent any land to the
Company, unless the whole roaC
shall be completed, will be con
trary to the intention of congress
and fraud upon the people a
large. To not complete the roaC
and thereby take away the secur
ity pledged for portions of tn
road constructed will be a fraut
. upon bondholders and preferret
stockholders, who surrendered
their original bonds on which the.
were swindled in excessive cos
of construction. But it woul
not be the fault of congress or tn
people if the bondholders an
preferred stockholders should b
so defrauded out of their security
And the people being innocer
should not suffer. The bondholC
ers and preferred stockholdel
have a remedy, viz: see that ii
road shall be completed.
However, Astorians have NJ
given up hope yet but that son
arrangement can be brougI
about between them and Mr.. Vi
lard by which the road will |
completed, but should this fail
will be a matter for the credito
of the road 10 consider, and devi
the means for its completion, al
that right speedily.

The Incendiary Trial at Grantsville.

remembered, was arrested in Grants.
vile some time since and held ON n
charge of arson. Public feeling in the
neighhorhood was very strong against
him, and circumstances seemed to
make his guilt certain, but Mr., Curler
in some manner convinced the Jury
that his client was innocent. lie WAS
acquitted on the first ballot and is an
other instance of theuncertainty of law
and justice where an able lawyer talks
to the jury. 1t is not so much the
question of guilt or innocence
upon which depends the conviction
or acquittal of the accused as it Is
as to who is his attorney. Having
been acquitted by jury, it is pre-.
sumable that Mr.. Rosenthal was limo.
cent; hut nobody appeared to think
so until his attorney went to work for
him. This is not intended to preiu-
dice thinking people against the man
who has so lately been acquitted, but
simply to illustrate the necessity which
now exists of taking account of the
attorney before arriving at eonclu-
sion rs to guilt or innocence, Some
years ago the same attorney took up
the case of man who had been tried,
convicted and sentenced to be hung,
in one of the eastern counties. He
got him a new trial and obtained an
aequittal. When it is remembered
that there are several other lawyers in
Nevada OF equal skill and energy, it
should not be surprising if our crimi.
nails, in "A short time, begin to defer
judgment as to their own guilt or
innocence until they learn who will be
their attorney.

THE R.nvv's Uncertainty.

A short time ago the Holmes Min

Northern Belle Company and obtained
a judgment for &360,090 Everybody
thought the matter was settled, but
now it appears That both parties had a
doubt whether the Court which tried
the case had jurisdiction, as there was
no question of construction Of Federal
laws. 1t IS, however, possible that a
compromise will be effected and that
the mines will be worked together.
In that case Candelaria will see better
times than ever.

Joaquin MILLER has never boosted
of his wonderful eyes, but if he tells
the truth they are something to be
proud of. In letter to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle he describes Fredricks-
burg as it appeared to him while rid
ing in buggy with an eX-Confederate
General who was showing him the
sights. "You see earthworks up and
down the river and dim outlines of the
great mine fiasco are still visible" As
the mine fiaseo' occurred at Peters
burg, it is evident that Mr.. Miller has
taken extremely good care of his eyes
for no one would be wicked enough
to even suspect that he is not writing
from personal observation, but from
recollection of war history and that
his memory of time and place has
failed him.
