Future Of Silver.
NEW YORK, Aug. i0-The Sun this
morning prints Several exceedingly in.
teresting cablegr ANS from London were
received in Wall street yesterday. They
were sent by London banking houses OF
the highest repute to their correspondents
here and and were as confidential as they
were important. Their purpose would
not be clearly set forth by reproducing
them.
On the strength of the information con-
veyed and inquiries made by those Lon
don bankers it can be stated that the
English government has become alarmed
at the prospects Of the repeal OF the Sher.

cabinet are discussing, possibly informally,
the advisability OF making proposition

About z O'Clock the other morning,
says yesterdays Telegram, a police Of
ficer rushed breathlessly into the Office
OF City Physician C. H. Wheeler, and
excitedly informed him that by mis-
take he had swallowed a quantity of
insect powder, thinking 1t was powd-
cred l~icorice, which he had been in the
habit of taking for a headache. He
brought a sample with him for the doc
tor TO examine, and was anxious to
have the poison pumped out Of his
stomach with the least possible de-
lay.
DR.. Wheeler, upon an examination Of
the powder found that 1t vas danger
Gus only when swallowed by insects,
and the lower orders of life, although
its effect upon the system OF ma
would not be likely to prove pleasant.
A purgative was prescribed for the Of
fcer which, with a few drinks of whis-
ky, brought him around in good shape.
He has been the butt Of countless jokes
on the part Of his fellow officers. who
have inquired closely into his family
and financial affairs, ostensibly for the
purpose of ascertaining his motive for
committing the rash act. Other officers
have given him advice and pleaded
with him not to repeat the attempt.

try OF sending political offenders 10
Russia to be knouted Or hanged, or
crushed in helpless exile. There are,
however, American citizens who be-
lieve that the country should not well
come the murderers Of our friends with
reclamation. Russia was the best
friend of the United States during the
war. 1t was the stand taken by the
murdered Car that prevented the rec
ognition Of the Southern ~confederacy
by England and France. This may not,
we are aware, be considered by the
party in possession Of the government
of the United States today to be in the
nature of a friendly act, and yet with
out 1t they would hardly have been
in a position to annex the United States
to the Southern Confederacy.
This generation has almost forgotten
the fact that the two emancipators of
the age, Abraham Lincoln, and the
Car Alexander II, were murdered, and
while neither fell by the hand Of slave
holders direct, the spirit that slew them
was not that Of liberty, but slavery.
The %dynamiters Of Russia could not
have gained the capacity of organized
assassination, If 1t had not been for the
enmity Of the offended aristocracy.
was friendly to us in ceding to
US for a nominal sum the vast and rich
territory Of Alaska, giving us the flank

she is u friend today. We do not ex-
pect to send over dynamiters to Rus

The fact that we have had two presi-

It will not be denied that the moral
wave at present sweeping over the city
has brought matters into a very inter-
esting and novel condition. 1t is a con-
dition that demands the serious con-
slderation Of all thinking men, for upon
the action of our citizens during the
next few weeks probably rests the
whole future stability of Astoria.
In the first place we must not lose
sight Of the very dangerous fact that
extreme measures, in dealing with any
proposition, are more often than not,
disastrous; and, while desiring to force
this issue to it's absolute limit, we
must demand that the whole weight OF
public opinion should be with our
course.
Some people Of an inquiring turn of
mind do not seem to grasp the mean
ing OF the u~pheaval. 1t is simple
enough. The Astorian asserts today,
as strongly as ever, that the gambling
evil in this city can only be controlled
by license. Several good and conscien-
tious citizens 1--WE do not include the
scrubs and scum who unfortunately
happen to be with them) have seen fit
to differ and to take issue with us on
this a%ll-important question. Geometry
says that a straight line is the shortest
distance between any two points, and
the shortest, easiest, and best way for
us to prove u case to III opponents
is to give them an immediate oppor-
tunity of proving theirs.
To help them to do this, we have
initiated a total prohibition movement,
and have, we are glad to say, met with
able and immediate assistance from the
state authorities, without whose help
we could have done but little. So until
we can find nothing more to prohibit,
1t is our intention to show the other
side how the theory works in a town
so peculiarly situated as Astoria. Nc
step tending to prohibition will Le
evaded; every avenue leading to that
end will be opened. for we remain
strong In the conviction. that a very
short time will prove the fallacy OF
this contention and the strength of our
own.
In short. the quickest way to prove
a case is to disprove the others. SO
our readers may expect a full and COM
plete trial Of all measures OF suppress
sion. After that-not the deluge-but
the light of civilization as exemplihed
by license and public control of a great
necessary evil.

Cleveland's cabinet is said to be in
a bad way, They have to hide a good
deal of the time in order to get a frag-

We notice by the telegraph dispatch

American legation at st. Petersburg to
hold ON to the ~extradition treaty with

The Evening Bucket, in its late ac-
robatic attempt to run with the hare
and hunt with the hounds, has fallen
into the ditch. This does not mean to
imply that the filthy Swilltown sheet
was ever above the level of a ditch,
but simply that the hole 1t has tumbled
across on the present occasion is three
times as deep, and three times as dirty
as any predicament 1t has ever been
In before. Four days ago the section
of it's owners who officiate in the dives
and gambling hells of the city woke up
to the fact that something had gone
wrong with the machinery, and they
accordingly issued instructions to the
Blue Jay end of the combination to
go slow. On the following day the at
tempt was made, but in pulling one foot
out the blubber-bound genius who at
tempted to engineer the deal got hope
lessly mixed up in the tangle. This
settled the business, and, deserted by
many of his fellow crooks, he made an
elaborate attempt - fling himself into
the arms of he church. He managed
to get half way, but there the wings
gave out and the low-mlnded whelp
who has prolonged the life Of his
Matchmaking sheet - this city by ev-
Try vile means in his power, fell into
the dirt from which he originally
rawled.

Cruelty to Animals.


Deputy Sheriff Chute, at the request of
Agent Perry, arrested Charles Brown of
Cumberland, an employe of DR.. Moul-
ton of that town, and held boy named
Charles Mansfield, as a witness against
him for cruelty to dog belonging to
Mr.. Herrick, a farmer. Herrick,s dog
ran over to Moulton's stable and Brown
and the boy secured the animal and the
boy poured turpentine on the dog who
suffered such agony his master had to
kill him. As Brown was supposed to
know better he was arrested and the bow
held as witness. The case came before
Judge Gould, in the Municipal Court,
Saturday. Young Mansfield testified as
above, saying he didn't know turpentine
would hurt the dog. On Browns and
the boys promising never to do such a
thing again they were discharged.
By singular circumstance Deputy
Chute met another Mr.. Herrick on the
road to Portland and found in his cart
calf with.its legs tried together contrary
to law. Mr.. Chute cut the cords and
told the man he would prosecute him if
he ever caught him doing such "a thing
again.
