OREGON MIST. SUBSCRIPTION, 11.60 PER YEAR. BliEQLE DAVIS. Publisher. T. TIE LESS. OREUOH, AVO. SS. rat poor mah's tariff. No doubt the people of tho United Plates havs experienced sansa of restful satisfaction in the surcease which the have bad for several mnoths from the eternal tariff discus sion, which bad been dinned into their ears by politicians, and repeated ad nauseam by the press for more than half a score of years. But if any one Imagines that the subject has been disposed of for Stood he is greatly mis taVen. When the democratic majority in congress succeeded in parsing the Wilson bill, a altered in the senate, the country at largo was disposed to ' give the measure a fair trial, notwith standing the fact that the president refused to sign it and made a frantic effort to keep the agitation alive, with the hope of securing changes in the bill daring the short session of con gress that followed. But neither the people at large nor Mr. Cleveland's own party would listen to the propoai tion to reopen the discussion at that time. It was the desire of every one, outside of the Cleveland-Wilson clique, to give the subject a rest, and to give the new schedules a trial, as already Bet forth. But there are reasons for believing that the attention of the country is likely to be directed at an early day to the practical working ol the new law, specially in regard to the effect upon the imports of manufactured mere ban dise. This is certain to reopen the discussion of the economio and fiscal principles in dispute between the two parties. The publication last week by the Bureau of Statistics of the State Department of advance sheets of the statistics of imports from various countries for the first quarter of 1895 as reported to the department by the American consuls, compared with the imports for the same quarter in 1894, are likely to open the eyes of the peo ple as no amount of argument could aver have done. What do they showT Simply that the pretense of the democratic tariff reformers, as they delight to call them selves, that they were legislating in the interest of the poor man, of the laboring masses of the country, of the oppressed farmer and all that, was merely a delusion and a snare. It any one will take the trouble to exam ine the statistics of imports under the new schedules he will find that wher ever there has been an increase of im ports it has been of articles of luxury which have been cheapened by the re duced tariff. But he will look in vain for any indication ot an increase in the imports of those staples which are consumed by the masses. Take, for instance, the statement in the publication made by the Bureau of Statistics just mentioned, that the imports from France for the quarter show an increase of $6,425,768. These figures are so striking, it is said, as to : cause comment, and the bureau there fore goes into details. It is found that the imports are chiefly from the Paris consular districts. Many of the items are then given, with the total value of the invoioes. There are merinos, cashmeres, and miscellaneous dress goods; silk manufactures ; laces, veils, crepes and embroideries; feathers and flowers, artificial and for millinery; gloves; wines; china and glass ware; jewelry and precious stones ; buttons and trimmings. The total of these imports from France for the quarter amounts to 117,674,697, an increase , over the corresponding quarter of last year, as already stated, of 20,425.768. So far from such an increase in the imports of the kind enumerated being a benefit to the masses of the people, it could be shown that in most in stances it has resulted in crippling similar productive industries at home. And in whose interest? The question answers itself. The rich those who have incomes to spend for luxuries are alone benefited. In a word, the tendency of the new tariff is to under mine and destroy home manufactures and to cheapen luxuries. The me chanics and handicraftsmen who are thrown out of work and the poor are left to take care of themselves. Thkt Fairly Flew. The wharves and banks along the river last , Satur day afternoon were lined with people who had gathered to witness tbe race between the Potter and Telephone on their through run from Portland to Astoria, both billed to leave the former place at 1 o'clock. It was just 2:30 when the Potter passed in front of this place well over to the Washington side, and about 6 minntes later tbe Telephone poked her bow through the dense smoke close to the Oregon shore. Both steamers were evidently doing their best judging from tbe great vol umes of smoke issuing from their slacks accompanied by a terrible roar which could be heard for several miles. The Potter is said to have reached Astoria just 8 minutes ahead of the Telephone. Deducting from this the 4 minutes the former had in Starting, would make the difference between tbe two boats in running tbe 100 miles just about 4 minutes. How ever, this will probably not settle tbe question as to which is the faster, for both have made better time over the same coarse on former occasions. As a result of tbe contest, however, both steamers were obliged to lay over a day or two to "fix" their wheels and otherwise tighten up their shattered parts. .: .- .. " . Duxl Between Doctors. Last Fri day in Portland Dr. H. B. Holmes and Dr. Ausplund fought a duel with pistols in the former's office. Both men emptied their pistols at each other at close range, except Ausplund, whose pistol still contained one cart ridge when taken from him. Each man received three wounds, none of which are thought will prove fatal, though Dr. Ausplund was shot once through the right lung. The partici pants are both in the Good Samaritan hospital and their attending physi ei ins think they will recover. The trouble grew out of difficulty which arose in the Portland hospital, where b Hb physicians were members of tbe medical staff. A FATAL RIVER COLLISION The Ocean Wave Runs Down the Yawl Rainier, John Weather-wax and Kd Wagner Vote Their Lives-How tt Happened. Shortly before 1J o'clock Sunday night Uis river steamer Ocean Wave, while re turning from Ilwaco, with a crowd of sou side excursionists, ran down a sailboat, containing Ave men, two of whom wen drowned. It is said the boat displayed no lights, and It was not until almost under Mis steamer s bow that it was observed bv ('anum WhRcomb. who was at the wheel. It was too late to prevent a collision, al though an effort was made to back the steamer. John Weatherwax and Kdward Wiener were drowned, and Milton Smith owner of the boat : Harrv flroua and Ed. ward Aury were rescued by the crew from the steamer. The sailboat was built at Rainier, and Its construction completed Saturday night. ii uaa oeen named in nonor or the town and on Sunday evenlns? the launching nl the little craft took place In the presence of a im nuraoer or neome. esnorriv alter o'clock the Rainier started down stream, aeaaea tor Astoria, wnere toe vonne men expected to take part in the regatta, and to spenu a coupie or weeas mere, me atert was made amid rousing cheers of friends on the river bank, and in a little while tbe boat passed from view. There was. no wind ana in consequence slow neadwsy was made, and to help pass the time awav Weatberwax and Wasner. with violin and Harmonica, amused their companions. was alter 11 o clock when Stella, on the Washington side, was sighted, and a light oreeze springing up, rne sail was maie and me nie cran neanea ont into tbe river. The Oregonian gives tbe following story as to how it happened: The channel had hardly been reached when the lia-hts of the Ocean Wave were sighted, but the men in the sailboat did not seem to know whether the steamer was Kant ud or dowa stream. Three of the occupants of the boat iumoed into tbe river just as the sharp bow of the steamer struck the craft, while the other two, weatberwax and Wagner, apparently paralyzed with fear, remained In their seat and were not seen again. Captain Whit- comb, who was at the wheel on the Ocean Wave, saw tbe outlines of tbe boat but few feet ahead, and shooting out "What are you trying to do T" signaled for the en- rtnea to stop, and just tben the crash came. The sail cauKbt for a moment on the bow, and then the boat swung to the starboard side, while the men in the water were loud ly shouting for help. nrst umeer uray, wno naa retired for the night, heard tbe first alarm . and hastily aressing, was on me lower aecainiess man a minute, superintending the lowering of a boat, manned by three of tbe steamer's crew, uuiciea oy me voices ot me men straggling in tbe water, they soon picked up JUrous; a moment after Anrys was res cued, and about 50 feet further on Smith was found greatly exhausted. The three men were taken on the steamer and every attention shown them. Smith was uncon scious when taken aboard, and after nearly an hour's work be regained consciousness. The rescued men were Drovided with drv clothing, and after the excitement had in a measure subsided, they were able to eive an account of the accident. Hilton Smith, owner of the boat, after his rescue and resuscitation, said: "We had passed the steamers Potter. Lnrline and uatzert, and l thought that was all the steamers coming np tbe river for the night. l took Ins lamp down, and nut it under blanket, so that the light would not blind me in sailing tbe boat. Weatherwax and Warner were sitting; aruidshin. Dlavine the violin and harmonica for our amusement. and i was near them. Tbe man steering suddenly called out "boat;" and looking under the sail we saw the steamer on toD of us. Anrys, Brous and myself jumped into me water, ont toe otner two remained in tbe boat when the steamer struck 1L cannot attach any Mama to the officers of me ucean w sve tor the accident. Anrvs stated that he. Smith and Brona dived clear of the smallboat just as tbe bow of the steamer struck them. Weather wax and Wagner, however, seemed paral ysed with fear and took the whole brunt of the terriffic shock. All three of tbe sur vivors drifted down past the wheel, and but for the engines stopping jnat at the moment they did, not ot the five men would have been saved. Smith received a slight bruise from one of the buckets of the wheel. Captain Wes Whitcomb, who was at the wheel at tbe time of the collision, said "There was DOSjtivelv nothiner on the anr- lace ui un riYtjr 10 acquaint me wun uie Dresence of another craft. T was elnaelv following the channel, the night being ex tremely oara, we smote nanging even lower than usnai. The nrst intimation had of the small boat being near me was when her hull loomed out of tbe darkness tlk , U A.. I . AA . . from the bow of the Ocean Wave. I at once sent bells below to ston and ro astern at full speed, but as well trv to ston a mountain avalanche as to take headway off tbe Ocean Wave in that distance. First Officer Gray was asleep in the texas, but before I could call him he was on deck. half dressed, and attending to the towering of the lifeboat. The collision is solely tbe resuii oi me yonng men wno manned the light built boat they had constructed, be ing entirely ignorant of the rules of naviga tion. Aside from showing no lieht on their own craft, they were nnable to tell from tbe creen and red starboard and port liebts on the Ocean Wave in what direction tbe steamer was going. It would appear al most rash that people knowing so little of what constitutes the handling of even a small boat should attempt a night trip on tbe river." Tbe statement that the young men were inexperienced boatmen is incorrect. We are informed that all but one of them bare been engaged In tbe fishing: business, and consequently must be more or less familiar wun the rule of navigation. It would seem from tbe published reports that no one was really to blame for the deplorable ana aaa caiastropne. An enort was made Monday to recover the bodies of tbe two that were drowned, but without being sue- cessim. an. j . LOCAL ITEMS.
