THAT CENTRAL
MARKET SCHEME
Merchants Viii Make Astoria At
tractiye to Farmers.
BIcYcLERs JOIN IN THE PLAN
Good Roads and a Market Place Where
Business Can Be Done VIII Cen
trallze Trade In Astoria.

Astoria needs a central market for
the accommodation OF the farmers in
the county. Such market viii un-
doubtedly be established, If the views
and work OF certain merchants towards
that end count for anything. The pro-
ject is certainly most commendable
one, as looked at from the stand point
OF business men who have already tax
en- the matter under consideration. The
city council and chamber Of commerce.
in the judgment OF leading commercial
men. should lose no time in taking
active measures towards the accom-
plishment OF the scheme.
Speaking OF the matter yesterday a
gentleman connected with the firm Of
Foard & Stokes said: Even In the
far west where commercial matters are
yet in the rough. many cities have al
ready established central markets
where the farmer and gardener can Of
fer their products for sale. There are
many such markets in California and
the condition Of things in Clatsop coun-
ty is particularly favorable to the es-
tablishment here Of such a market.
Look at the great market places Of
New York. Philadelphia, Washington.
Baltimore. Cincinnati. Chicago. St.
Louis and Kansas City. Fulton Mar
ket. New York. has worldwide repu-
tation. The old Central market in
Washington City is only second to it
in prominence. The X street market
in Washington is one of the finest
structures Of the kind in the world,
with a steel trussed roof and ample
provisions for all manner Of dealers.
Here the merchants have their stalls
as well as the farmers, and on market
days general trading, even including
ihe handling OF cattle and horses goes
on from morning. till night. No one
can doubt the beneficial results TO any
community when by this means II
can make a general gathering place in
the city for the country people con-
tiguous to it.
Il think that the city council, in con-
junction with the Chamber of Com
meroe. should take steps to secure the
use Of the court house square, which
should be planked over in order to Sc
cure dry footing. Upon this planking
should be built proper sheds and stalls
for the accommodation Of teams, cattle
and horses, and a central building for
the main market place. Merchants
would undoubtedly take stalls in the
market, and the rents would soon pay
the expenses of the buildings. All the
conveniences for the comfort OF the
farmers should be constructed and
guarantee that such modernized mar
ket win ten fold repay all of us, besides
securing fresh products and making an
inducement TO the farmers TO raise larg-
er crops. The movement in favor OF
good roads which will next season be
seconded by the bicyclists. has opened
the way for the successful establish
ment of the proposed market. l hope
to see this enterprise taken up vigor-
ously by the city council and chamber
of commerce"

AN OBJECT OF PITY.
Blind Chinaman Up in the Police Court
Court Charged with Begging

There were two cases in the police
court yesterday. All Fong, a blind
Chinese. was tried on charge OF beg
ging. There is a hard luck story con-
nected with Fong's present condition
He has seen better days and is the vic
tim. so he says, OF unscrupulous eoun-
trymen.
l After court had adjourned Fong told
city and was employed by Dark Woo.
a pawnbroker. doing business at the
corner Of Seventh and Bond streets
Fong prospered, but he could not stand
it. Soon after he was arrested for fel-
Ony. tried, convicted and sentenced to
term in the penitentiary While in
confinement the unfortunate man lost his
eyesight and he was turned loose by
the state officials to shift for himself
without a friend in the world and ne
possible chance to earn living. He
returned to Astoria and has been here
since.
Day after day and night after night
he stood against some telegraph pole
trying to beg a price of bowl of rice.
and when he heard people passing en-
deavored to attract their attention by
calling. "sayl Sayg' But few, it seems,
needed his pitiful call for a few cents
and he has almost starved 10 death.
OF late he has carried piece Of broom
handle and would stop people by strik-
ing them gently with it. In this way
he frightened several ladies and chill
dren and was arrested.
After court had adjourned Fong told
a reporter his story. He said that Dark
Woo owed him s4S,25. and that he owed
Woo $3.50, which would leave a balance
due him of 1856. He says he has re-
peatedly asked Woo for the money. the
latter always telling him that he would
pay him by and bye" Another man
owes Fong IS. The poor fellow says he
wants the money to go to Portland and
consult an eye specialist. To all ap-
pearances he has a cataract in either
eye and it is thought his sight can be
restored.
Judge Nelson fined the poor fellow
$40. thus assuring him place to eat
till something can be done for him. In
court yesterday Fong said he was so
hungry that he was weak and begged
to be given his freedom, as some Chin
ese, more sympthetic than his country
men, had promised him bowl of rice
He was assured that good dinner
was awaiting him in the Jail, and was
lead downstairs by Captain Hallock.
The city officials are Of the opinion
that the county should see that Fong
is sent to the state institute for the
blind. If he is sent away from Asto-
ria he will no doubt starve to death
in some other city.
Charles Carlson was up on charge
of drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
for which he was fined $40. 1t is said
Carlson abused his wife shamefully
during the time he was drunk, but she
refused to prefer a charge against him.

MEXICO APPRECIATES 1T.

Mexico, November 6-No previous
presidential election in the United
States has created such excitement and
interest among all classes as the pres
ent one. for business men, bankers and
manufacturers felt that Mexican in
terests demanded the election of Nc

For Mexico the declaration of the
American people in favor of the gold
standard means continued prosperity
here, 1t signifies large dividends for
our mills and banks, thus carrying into
effect many large and important un-
dertakings for which capital would not
have been obtained in the United States
had Bryan been elected. The result is
for the general good of Mexico"

DOUBTFUL COLUMN
IS OBLITERATED
Kentucky aud North Carolina Added
to the Republican Ranks.
MAKEUP OF NEXT SENATE
Republicans VIII Remain in Control
II DefectionIsts Return to the Fold
South Dakota a Tie.

Washington. November 6.-The next
senate II Is believed, will stand: Re-
publicans. a.; Democrats, 80; Populists
and Independents. 10.
This table takes all the states out Of
the doubtful column. placing Kentucky
and North Carolina In the Republican
column. as Senator Butler says today
the free silver Republicans probably
win be returned by the fusionists; Della
ware In the Democratic column, and
Kansas and South Dakota in the Inde-
pendent and Populist column. This
VIII prevent the Republicans from TAX
ing control Of the senate unless some
OF those who bolted the Republican
platform at st. Louis should return.
II is difficult TO estimate the exact
standing Of the next senate on money.
owing to the new alignment Of parties
in the recent campaign. Men who have
been pronounced silver men have been
supporting the Republican platform
and candidates. and pronounced gold
men have supported the Democratic
platform and candidates. Perkins, Of
California; wolcott. OF Colorado: Shoup
OF Idaho; Carter. OF Montana; Mitchell.
OF Oregon. and Wilson. OF Washington.
have all voted for and supported silver
Legislation. and what course they will
now take is altogether problematical.
As no free coinage bill possibly could
pass the house. this fact would infiu-
ence the voting in the senate on silver.
and particularly in the shape OF rider
to tariff bill. The probability is that
on free coinage amendment TO the
tariff bill all Of the .forty-four Repub-
Ilicans would vote against 1t and possi-
bly, some Democrats. such as Caffery.
OF Louisiana; Gray, OF Delaware. and
Lindsay, OF Kentucky. who bolted the
Chicago platform, and perhaps even
some OF those who supported Bryan
during the campaign.
1t is not unlikely that some Of the
Republican senators who bOlted the Re-
publican platform might take posi-
tion which would permit the tariff bill
in which their constituents are largely
interested, because Of wool. lumber and
lead ores, to become a law. Senator
Butler. on the other hand, said that he
and others Of the Populists would sup
port the right kind OF tariff bill. but
not measure like the Mckinley bill.
Butler wants adequate protection on
raw materials.

Col. Clarke for Congress.

Mr.. Apsley, the representative in Congress
from the fourth Massachusetts, district, has
declined to be candidate for reelection
and the friends of Col. Albert Clarke are
urging his claims as the best man for the
succession. The Boston journal said yes.
terday: "Col. Clarke is a student of great
public questions, experienced in business
affairs, mature and yet young in strength
and spirit, veteran soldier, and writer
and speaker of exceptional power. With
such an equipment and with the industry
and faithfulness for which Col Clarke is
noted to give it full effect, the people OF
the district would benefit greatly by his
nomination and election" All Vermonters
will endorse this endorsement.

The man who saved the life of Secretary
Stanton on thenight Lincoln was assassi-
mated has just been retired from active
service as an officer of the army. He is
Major George f. Robinson, native of
Maine, and was an enlisted man in the
army during the war. He was soon after
ward transferred to the hospital corps,
with station at Washington city. When
Stanton was thrown from his carriage and
so badly injured that he required the serV-
ices of professional nurse, Robinson was
assigned to care for him. On the night
that Booth shot the president and Payne
made an attack on Stanton, Robinson was
in the secretary's room. The assassin, on
entering, was grabbed by Robinson, but he
succeeded in attacking the secretary. But
for Robinson's presence Mr.. Stanton might
have been killed. A gold medal was given
Robinson by Congress, and when Presi-
dent Hayes came to the White House he
was made major and paymaster in the
army. Since then he had been stationed
at the leading stations of the country.
His retirement is brought about by the age
limitation.

The speech Eel Flat.

AS an oratorical effort the speech was
fiat failure. 1t was read from manuscript
and before Mr.. Bryan was through over
half of the audience had left the hall The
notification of Mr.. Sewall, the vice presi-
dental candidate, followed, but the audi
ence was then in confusion, and what was
said was entirely inaudible, even at the re-
porters tables.
A New York despatch sent on the night
of the speech says: "At the end of three
quarters of an hour half of the audience of
1000 went away with feeling of abso-
lutte disappointment, and failed to detect
the slightest evidence of oratory about this
man who has been called boy orator.
and are unable to understand how he
managed to work himself up to a frenzy of
oratorical hysteria at Chicago and swept
the delegates off their feet and himself in
to the presidential nomination. To put it
frankly and bluntly, the speech fell fat"
From the New York Tribune report
Keen disappointment was felt by thous-
ands, as was made evident by the rude de-
parture from the building of more than
half the audience before the presidential
candidate had proceeded far in his address.
His friends in the hall looked with dismay
at the steady streams of humanity pouring
out of the building. The tread of thous-
ands of departing feet made a disturbing
din, above which the voice of the orator
could be heard with difficulty.
New York Despatch TO Philadelphia Public
Ledger
Bryan came here with magnificent
reputation as an orator, gained by his
speech at the Chicago convention. After
a hearing under the most favorable condi-
tions, before one of the largest audiences
ever assembled in New York, he proved to
be very commonplace speaker.
He read his speech in a dull, ,monotonous
way. There was not thrill in it; not one
spark of eloquence; not one striking figure.
/ 1t was a mediocre utterance. Let the

A "NatIOnal Democratic Convention" TO
be Held.


The national conference of sound money
Democrats met in indianapolis last Friday,
with 80 states represented and about 200
delegates in attendance, and as the result
of its arbitrations a call was issued for a
national convention to be held at Indian
apols Sept. 2, to adopt platform and
nominate candidates for president and
&c president. The call is issued in tn e
name of the "Natonal Democratic party ;"
The preamble sets forth that the Chicago
convention abandoned the historic princi-
pies of the Democratic party, especially as
regards the financial honor of the country
and "the preservation inviolable of the in
stitutions established by the constitution" "
and that ''no majority of members of that
convention, however large, has any right
or power to surrender those principles" :"
In accordance with this call the "provis-
ional state committee of the sound-money
Democrats of Vermont have issued call
for state convention to be held at Bel
lows Fall next Tuesday, to elect eight
delegates to the indianapolis convention,
and to nominate four presidential electors
in support of the ticket nominated there. :"

William NJ. Singerly, editor and propri-
etor of the Philadelphia Record, who heads
the Democratic ticket for electors-at-large
from Pennsylvania, has requested that his
name be withdrawn from the ticket be-
cause he cannot consistently support the
platform and nominees of the Chicago
convention. The Record has been for years
one of the most radical and aggressive ad-
vocates of free trade, but Mr.. Singerly's s
belief in this doctrine does not make him
tolerant of the free-silver heresy with
which it is coupled in the Chicago plat
form.
