We note, with feelings of dis appointment and chagrin, your editorial of this data under the above headline. and recall with deep regret the too true saying of some one,- somewhere, that "if a man were constant he were perfect." It makes It difficult for us to see how under any regime, tarifl reform can ever obtain so long as its advocates play hot and cold with the subject as Interest or prejudice pre vailing at the time may dictate. "But passing this," you say, "the more costly style of living that pre vails, if the cost of living, the cost of staple articles of food and clothing are greater, who is to blameT Who makes the exaction? Who gets the money?" You cite the farmer who makes his ex actions, yet you say he has nothing left. because of the wages he pe,ys. So the wage-earners are the cormorants who, octopus like, are sucking tire lifeblood of all our industries and enterprises. Who has so charged before, and where Is the evidence to sustain the charge? But who really geta the profit on the costly ' attire, gorgeously furnished homes of the wage-earner and farmer? Their wages and earnings are, and ever have been, and for aye will be, limited to the demands of their existence, com petition. Tou have shown this so often and so forcefully that a pigmy should not trespass upon the subject with your readers. What these necessities are and have been, how they arose and were met, let each wage-earner answer. How much cash have they left? Who makes the exaction? Who gets the money? That is the question. But yes terday we read in your columns of Mr. of the grand old state of Penn sylvania, rock ribbed Republican, and more securely protected in every in dustry than the Dreadnaught with armor plate, a steel (steal?) prince, who manufactures the railroad Irons, the farmers' tools, building materials, etc., makes a spread and kills the fatted calf, though there was no wandering boy to return on this his golden jubilee, and he places under the plate of each of his four children the snug little golden egg of $4,000,000, with holding untold millions yet for distri bution. Who would not kill this goose? Yet there was on the same, day more than 1,000,000 heads of families in these United States, ready, willing, and maybe at work, who could not place round-steak upon the plate for one child. Who Indeed makes It thus costly to live? "Who makes the exaction? Who gets the money?" . "W. T. BURNET." This begs the whole question in a sentimental way. A few always will be rich, tariff or no tariff; more will be well-to-do, more will be In merely .comfortable circumstances. and many will be poor. But the work ing classes as a whole live better than they did aforetime and so do the farm ers, who are working people them selves. If one fixes his eyes on the rich, who are comparatively few, and consumes his heart with envy of one family in a million, where each child geta a large Inheritance, safe to say he will always have a grievance against the world and the whole order of things. We all see how some get ad vantages through protective tariff that others do not share. Indeed it is Im possible that all should share them equally; and this is one main argu ment against it. But we all know, also. that no party, no matter what its pro fessions, will cut protection out. The Democratic party. If it comes into power, will only change the schedules. so as to favor certain interests that do not think themselves favored suf ficiently now. This is merely the tit-for-tat of politics. No more Is the Dem ocratic party a free trade party than the Republican party is; but undoubtedly it would shift its schedules it it had a chance, as it did in the Wilson bill. But that was regarded by the country as a more unjust tariff than the other. Besides, Mr. Burney, unless he has property got by Inheritance, which he seems to disapprove, or has made it by rise of values, which our honest re formers condemn, will have to work for a living lust the same, tariff or no tariff. The Oregonlan dislikes pro tective tariff and even hates it. But it doesn't expect to see It abandoned or put down for a long time. If ever: and, moreover. It knows that the Dem ocratic party is merely juggling with It for political advantage. Japanese Turns Footpad. SAN FRANCISCO. SeDt 19.A h, man from the Orient last nlpht invaded THREE RAILROADS ARE BUILDING TO BAT You hear more or less about these through the dally press, and nearly everyone nows that when they are completed they will open up one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Many persons have also heard something about Bayocean Park at Tillamook Bay. Not many persons know, however, that the owners of Bayocean Park are expending on improvements in this wonderful spot nearly enough money' to build another railroad; yet such is the case, and thia fact should convince you that Bayocean is going to be a magnificent resort, such a resort, in fact, as the people of the Northwest have always needed, but never possessed. At the present time we have a large force of men at work with a huge engine and piladriver building; a bulkhead over four miles long, the entire length on the bay side of Bayocean Park. We have, also, just let a contract f or the construction of an immense dredge. This we have purchased outfight, and it will be- used for filling in back of the bulkhead, thus making a mag nificent boulevard rom one end of the peninsula to the other. It will also be used to dredge out a chain of lakes which vre propose to have through the center of our Eecreation Park ak"Bayocean. This Recreation Park win contain over twenty-three acres, and our "Coney Island, V or places of amusement, will be built around these lakes. We are working hard and spending large sums of money on these improvements, and when we are through every one wilt go to Bayocean Park. It will then be impossible to purchase building lots at Bayocean for less than several thousand dollars each. Tou can buy those same lots now for a mere trifle and on asyVterms. Now is the time to invest. Tou can mak thou sands of dollars surely and safely by acting promptly. " - STERE0PTIC0N VIEWS Bayocean Park is one of the grandest, wildest spots on -the Oregon shore. One of the very best photographers of the Northwest has taken photographs showing every part of this wonder land, and from these photographs we have had made one of the choicest set of stereopticon views ever presented in this city. We should like very much to show this set of views to the people of Portland and at the same time tell them of Bayocean Park as it is and as it will be. You are, therefore, cordially invited to attend a series of evening exhibitions at whioh these views will be shown.

While re turning home last nlirht, Alfred Greene- baum. president of the Alaska Codflshlng Company, was accosted by a Japanese, who pressed a revolver against nis neaa and stood silently awaiting tribute. The assailant made the mistake of getting too close and Greenebaum knocked him down. As Greenebaum was escaping the Japan ese struggled to his feet and fired a shot, the bullet passing through the white man's overcoat. When the police arrived, summoned by Greenebaum, the footpad had disappeared. SEABRIGMV NECARNEY CITY Very Recent Developments in Railroad Matters The P. R. & N. Lytle Road people are now extending their survey at the Head of Nehalem Bay, so ajs to take in directly the SEAB RIGHT and NECARNEY CITY resorts.
