THE BITER BfTTEN. ( A few close readers of the Oregonlan may have noticed some days ago, In an obscure corner, and on an exceed- lngly unprintw-like made-up page of that paper, a strong presentation of the tacts and logic of the Astoria prop-' esition, with an earnest and dignified j appear to the edrtor for aid In the dls- eusslon of Astoria's rightful claim tO equal consideration at the hands of the railroad combination with the more distant and inaccessible ports on Puget sound In the matter of deep-water ter minal wtp Th writer nf the com munication, for it Is a regularly dated ttn1 Portland will not surrender" the and addressed letter to that paper.

Oregonlan is in such good humor with the deeper water, greater proxim ity to open ocean and substantial n'-ar-ness to market afforded by Astoria was fully brought out and explained. Aside from printing and covering up Theae Hh((W that whMp th(j Rp& Mr. Pcelry's letter as best it could In its arrivals at Tacoma during the month columns, the Oregonlan paid no other of September were 46, those of Port attentlnn to his timely suggestions ! ia-n,i consisted of one from foreign ports Several days after the letter's publica tlon. however, It was found in some mysterious manner by the Tacoma j 7edger (probably through a marked oopy of the Portland paper, sent by some representative of the Sound In Portland), and an editorial article ap-j peared In the Ledger, In which some of ( Mr. Seeley'a statement were quoted at length and the pretensions of both Astoria and IwOand as rival port with Ptigv sound were deride In a scandalous manner. This article was Immediately pounced on by the Ore gonlan. not In defense of Mr, Seeley and for the purpose of correcting the mis-statements made about the Colum bia river, but as a club to pound the Astorian for Its well-known advocacy of the Mews held by Mr. Scoley. Pase Ir.g over the Ledger's mlnvprescnta tlons concerning its own town, the Ore gonian picked out a paragraph from the article In which Astoria ws a bused, and ued It aa an eicuse to jeer the AMorian In the following man ner: What! Here." (said the Oregonlan) "Is a Tscoma newspaper, a newspaper of Tacoma of Tacoma, on that inland tideway which Astoria has been boom ing as the channel of commerce sure to supersede the Columbia river, unless Portland shall remove to Astoria here Is a Tacoma newspaper telling Astoria's newspaper that It la better to be pretty far Inland, provided that the ships ran reach you. than to be right at the beached verge of the great salt flood; because exp.rlenoe has proved that the greatest gain to the producer Is the condition that 'give the short rail haul and the long water haul.' Hence the Tacoma newspaper tells the Astoria newspaper that 'Puget sound and Port land will not surrender this advantage to Astoria.' Now since the Astoria newspaper ha so often asserted that the Puet sound ports were to throw the Columbia river in the shade, unless Portland should give up the effort to navigate the Columbia, this surely Is the most unkindest cut of all." Then the Oregonlan quotes, "verbatim.'- as It says, the Ledgvr's para graph, as follows: The anrunwnt that the Sound cities To this the Portland paper adds a hot by My,nr I "Vurther: The greatest net to the prod,,cer wlI1 by 8hlppng' by the route that gives least rail and niost n ater transportation. The Orego- J nlan an no comment- 11 leavVB thj Astoria newspaper to chew upon this and digwt It." The Astorian has become so used to the Oregonlan's flings that no attention was paid at the time to this particular 1 exhibition of malice. But the Tacoma paper, stung by the Impudent assump tion of Portland's equality implied In the P.utlnrd paper's proffer to make com mon cause In a fight which ha to do' seaport supremacy alune, turned on Its quondam friend and admlnlxternd such a blistering as will perhaps induee that paicT in future to either stand l;y Its' I own state and community or I t the quarrels between coast cities alone. The Ledger was not satlnfied with one r.- Luke to tin Oregonlan, but It hits the' Portland paper two hard blows In dif-' fereiit columns of the same page. Its' custigatlons are administered In the following language: plac,, l0 merry ovef the Uat told In the Ledger regarding the claims' of Astoria as the future great port of I the Pnelfle TVia PapiIoh r,.

ANOTHER BLOW TO TUN ' FLAG, FlIKLKKS, IVmocralto Globe. Calamity Is hitting the poor copper heads on all sides. Kven the treasury's expenditure account Is going back on them. It was the hope of all the "anil Imperialists" that the government's out no on account of the naval and mili tary establishment would be up to urn high figures before this time that the fold reserve would have to be hiullv drown upon, a was the cwe In meeting the ordinary expenditures In Cleveland's second administration, and that a sale of H0.000,000 or SM.MO.OOO of bonds would have Ro be resorted to long before congress meets In Decem ber this year. This would make the whole band of renegade, from Atkin son and Garrison down to Gorman. bivan and Billy Mason, whoop with dtllcht. Hut the hoped-for Is not happening. The present Indications are that this month will show a surplus of about (KnUiOO In treasury rvcelpts over expen ditures. There was a deficit in July. of course. July Is a month of heavy! expenditures on acooum oc me pay- nint ct Interest on the public debt the debt which the government has c.trrled from the civil war days but the treasury transactions since then will offset this shortage and show a balance on the right side of the ledger of about 12.000.000 for the quarter which ended Oct. 1. This -ecoid Is renderxd all the more remarkable and encourag ing by the circumstances that th secretary of the treasury has already pMd out several millions of dollar for Interest not due until next month on the public debt. This Is. Indeel. a hard blow to the "antl-lmperiallsta" In two years of Cleveland', second term there sales or Donus amounting 10 over . j 1 . . a 000,w0, In a period of profound peace, in order to meet the demands of the; government, and to prevent the coun try from dropping to the silver basis.

If antl-expanslon Is to be made one of the conspicuous planks of the demo cratic platform next year by the d m Inant Bryan wing this step will neces sitate the reading out of the party of Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattlson. the only democratic governor of Pennsyl vania f r more than a generation. In an Interview, during his vlult to Chi cago on Tuesday. Ex-Oovemor Pattl son came out flat-footed in favor of the suppression of the Philippine r,-1 belllnn. holding that our tltl-- to thel Philippine Is Just as good as ojt t tie) and that is the duty of Ameri.an ctl xens. demxrats and republlrans alike, tc sustain the government In Its efforts t surnress rebellion and establish law and order In our new domain, leaving the problem of a future govern ment for these Islands to be solved In the future. The refreshing, commendable feature tf Ooternor Pafltlson's position Is that it puts the duty of the citizens to the country first and before loyalty to party. He does not pause to qjb6le about whether the acquisition of the Philippines was wise or otherwise. He holds that having acquired them by. treaty we are as much bound to main tain American sovereignty upon Philip- F COD-LIVER OIL WITH HYP0PH0SPHITES should always be kept In the house for the fol lowing reasons: FIRST Because, If any member of the family has a hard cold, it will cure It.
