the election at the close of the last
legislature. He owes nothing to the

quickly turn him down if senators

COS T OF BEISU AS AMERICAS
fill 1 1' 0WSER.
It is a favorite argument of the
free traders aud free shin men that
American vessel owners really do
not have to pay higher wages to
their seamen than foreigners. Per
haps a deliberate judgment upon this
subject by a former free ship man,
now a subsidist, Cleveland's former
consul to Livetpool, Captain Russell
by name, will lie of interest. He
says, in his report in the state de
partment: "The vessels of the United Mates
pay the highest rate' of wages, be
sides costing more for maintenance I
of the crews than" those of any other
nation. British vessels in domestic
ports can procure crews from 37 to
32 per cent lower than are paid on
American vessels, which is a serious
item in the disbursement account.
Then, again, the cost of maintenance
on American ships is about 10 cents
a man per day, against the English
2i) cents, or a difference of 27 per
cent in favor of the latter. It is an
acknowledged fact that the living on
board our vessels is superior to that
of other nations, and it is generally
asserted that large quantities of food
are supplied to the crews, the scale
of provisions laid down by congress
being rarely, it ever, resorted to.
Tbe wages paid on vessels belonging
to Norway, Sweden, Russia. Ger
many, Denmark, Austriti, Spain, and
Italy average from 47 to ,r0 per cent
lower than those of the United States
vessels, and the cost of maintenance
about 32 per cent less."
A few facts and figures often
enable us to form a correct con
clusion, wbere a thousand theories,
or thousand wishes that things
might be thus and so, only confuse
and lead astray.
WHO
the orrosEsrs
SI DIES ARE.
of s ca
ll is quite evident that Mr. Frye,
who is in charge of the ship subsidy
bill for a unanimous republican
majority of the senate, knows whence
the opposition arises, fie is oHicial'.y
quoted as saying:
"There never was any other bill
before congress which received such
close and critical consideration, on
which was expended such careful,
conscientious, and intelligent work.
Nor was ihfte ever one with this
purpose in view which so generally
commended itself to the friends of
the American ship. Its critics and
opponents are those who honestly
believe in, and have always advo
cated, free ships, and tbe foreign
lines which will not tamely submit to
surrender the profits of their carry-
ins trade. The former contest it
from principle, but arc not danger
ous, for the country rejects their
theory ; the latter are inspired only
. by self-interest, one of the most
powerful of all motives, and they
will make a most detei mined, vigor
ous, and never-ending fight."'
Tbe free traders and the fiee ship
men have not tbe members with
which to defeat the bill and the
foreigners have not money enough,
in a thous.ind years.
A Year Hook announces that tbe
United States has no men of con
spicuous merit but has inany able
men. The able men, the plodders
and well balanced individuals, np
pear to run the country about as
well as souse of the overmastering
geniuses that set the old world on
fire and call for help to extinguish
the blaze.
There is more trrtli than poetry in
Oregon to help creite another sena
tor if his inclination runs otherwise.
He is the Allah of all that goes on in
republican politics in this state, and
what he does is nobody's business.
The tariff measure which the re
publicans adopted last winter for
Porto Ilico has so justified itself in
practical operation that the Porto
Ricans are eager to retain it. Scarce
ly any measure that was ever brought
before congress was so bitterly as
sailed as this, not simply by demo
crats, whose opposition was to be
expected, but by numerous influen
tial republicans and leading repub
lican papers. The Oregoniao ex
hausted its vocabulary of invective
in condemning it, and even the
truly good Senator Simon deserted
bis party so far as to vote against
it. AVbat changes time brings! And
how much better is some people's
hind sight than their foresight! Now
when the Taft commission is drafting
a tariff law for the Philippines, on
precisely similar lines, not a word of
objection has been so much as
breathed against it.
The Oiegouian pays The Dalles
the following just and handsome
compliment. Of course nothing is
said about the city being as dark as
hades the year round, nor that if we
had more light we would probably
have less money: "They have a
kind of politics at The Dalles which
is worth labeling. That enterprising
city bv some mysterious means has
accumulated a sinking fund of several
thousand dollars on which it gets
higher interest than it pays for city
bonds. Thus its debt helps to run
tbe city government. The secret of
tbe mystery is said not to be unat
tainable. If Portland has any embryo
financiers, they might go to The
Dalles for a course of development.
The merchants and business men
of Astoria have entered into an
agreement to boycott the O. R. & N.
Company because of the alleged op
position of that company towards
granting Astoria terminal rates. We I
admire Astoria's pluck but doubt its
judgment. The boycott is a game
that sometimes two can' play nt.
The O. R. fc N. Company has lately
purchased the Ilwaco railroad, which
commands one of the most delightful
summer resorts on the Pacific: coast.
What if the O. R. & N. should make
up its mind to do a little boycotting
on its own account in connection
with its late acquisition?
An exchange pertinently and
truthfully says there is a lime for
all things and the lime for spending
money is again ct band; for the holi
day season is not the time for saving.
At no other period will a dollar con
vey so much pleasure. It is then a
delight to buy and a Joy to give, and
presents are appreciated now as in
no other week in tbe long year.
Parents give without ceasing to their
children. They bestow food, cloth
ing, shelter, books and luxuries, but
ail these do not convey the keen de
light that goes with a few trinkets at
Christmas time. Conversely, a fail
ure to make gifts at this time carries
disappointment to tbe mature, and
to the young a grief that is almost
poignant. For these reasons wc must
loosen our purse strings tho coming
week, and leave to the miser tbe
morbid pleasure of hoarding all tbe
time. A little extiavagance is de
manded by the spirit of the occasion,
and mav be offset later by a small
degree of prudence and self denial,
There is a time to save; this is the
time to spend.
Ihe Sbaniko Leader makes an
earnest plea for the continuance of
the scalp bounty law, not on tie
narrow and sectional ground that
Western Oregon gets larger appropri
ations than Eastern Oregon for her
schools and other objects, but upon
tbe broad ground of justice to our
people and the important industries
that would necessarily suffer by a
repeal of the law.
The price of silver is steadily ad
vancing. Great demands on the
silver supply are made by China and
India.- From London, in tbe past
nine months, has been shipped $11,
000,000 to China, and from San
Francisco nearly 113,000,000. Japan
has taken half a million this year as
against nothing last year.
The Newbcrg Graphic, which is
supporting Senator McBride for re
election, is opposed to a caucus, and
says: "Let each, in the presence of
his fellow members and all the state,
boldly, honestly and fearlessly de
clare bis preference."

The La Grande Chronicle fives the
following account of an accident that be
fbll Adam Croestuao, formerly a resident
of this city.
"Adam Crosiunan, one of the pro
prietor! of the International ealoon on
Jefferson avenue, was seriously injured
by the explosion of n acetylene pas tank
at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. His
right hand, which waa resting on the
top of the tank at the time of the frx
plosion, was almost entirely blown off,
and amputation of tbe member was nec
essary. Tbe saloon is lighted with ace
tylene, and the gas apparatus is in the
cellar. Mr. Cro'aman was giving in
structions to an employee of the place
In regard to management of tho lights,
and the assistant bad just gone up stairs
when the explosion took place. It is not
known what kind of a defect in the ap
paratus caused the explosion, as Mr.
Crossniao, who was the only one present
at the time, has not been annoyed on the
object since his frightful injury. He
bad heou given every assurance that the
lighting system was safe and in fact lias
been agent for the light company for
some time and has installed a number
of plants in various places.
"Immediately after tbe injury he came
to tbe top of the stairs and said, 'I am
hurt, get a doctor,' He was placed in
charge of Dr. Bacon, who with the as
sistance of Drs. Belt and Bigger?, made
the amputation, there being no poesible
hope of saving tbe hand.
"Mr. Crossman withstood the opera
tion heroically and is resting comfortably
at the Foley hotel. His serious injury
is deeply regretted by his many friends
in La Grande and elsewhere.

If British reverses in tbe Trans

than for tbe Boers.
Opposition to tbe sbipsu6sidy bill,
and precisely such opposition as it is
receiving, calling it a huge graft, a
monster steal, a gigantic swindle and
all that, frightens nobody save tie
unthinking and inexperienced. The
bill must be judged on its merits,
not by what .those who a' ways oppose
the principle that lies at the basis of
it say about it. Whatever the merits
or demerits of the bill it remains
true that every established industry
in the land, from the date of the
nation's birth to this hour, has had
to meet similar opposition and from
the same source, both during its
infancy and while it was struggling
into life.

The Telegram says Captain W. J.
Johnston of the steamer Bellance, who
was brutally assaulted at the I). P. & A.
N. dock in Portland, Monday morning
of last week, and was taken later to St.
Vincent's hospital, suffering from a
severe case of concussion of the brain, is
reported as lying in the same precarious
condition with no change for the better.
He complains of severe pains in his
back, and at times is unable to retain
his thoughts collectively. His friends
are fearful of the worst resultn. Charles
Tracy, the self-admitted assailant, is
being held at tbe city prison with a
charge of assault with a deadly weapon
booked against him, though he main
tains he struck Johnston in the face
with his clenched fist and not in the
back of tbe head with a weapon. He
was introduced to the sweating process
several times, but still clung to tbe main
statements, though bis narratives are
said to be conflicting.
Tuesday evening witnessed the in
stallation of officers of Columbia Chapter
No. 3J, order of the Eastern Star, in
Masonic hall. About sixty members
were in attendance. The hall was
beautified with white chrysanthemums,
and with the bright colors ever present
these made a picture long to he remem
bered. The initiation of two candidates
claimed their attention for the first hour.
The service was rendered in an impres
sive manner and we trust its influence
will long be remembered by those pres
ent. This was followed by installation,
sister Alice Crossen, past matron, serv
ing as installing officer, with SiBter
Saline Phirman as marshal. These two
officers were at their best, and it is
almost needless to say their work was
done perfectly. The following officers
were installed: VV. M, Sarah T Mac-

C. 8. etatiou of Kent is considerably
nearer than Arlington, Ihe present ship
ping point. The railroad company has
had an easy wagon road surveyed from
Kent to Mr. Graham's place on the John
Day river, 11 '3 miles, and is about to
let a contract for the work. Sherman
county has appropriated ff00, and the
cii!zns of Sherman have made up f 1000
to assist with the work. The Mayville
inmieri ate strongly interested In ttie
project, and are ready to contribute
work on the Giliiain vi le of the line.
The problem of crossing the river will
probably be solved by the railroad com
pany, when the wagon road is completed.
