To say that the large audience which
heard and yaw "The Whip Without a
Pilot" waa very highly plud would
bo to speak .very mlhlly of the excel
lent service cumlucted by Professor
Dubbins and wife at the M. K. church
on Sunday evening. It was, In fact,
a m.jst Impressive revival sermon, Il
lustrated by stereoscopic reproductions
of many masi-.-rplccca of art, paasagea
of acripture and aptly-chosen current
Illustration, and waa enlivened with
hearty singing by the congregation
and excellent dueta by Professor and
Mrs. Dobbin. The entertainment giv
en lust evening was an Illustration of
the two well-known books: "The Prince
of the Home of David," and "Ben
Hur," and, to tboe who had read the
books, It was very entertaining. The
professor promises the beet program of
ihe three for tonight, when he will
give "The Civil War In Scene, Anec
dote and Bong," with illustrations for
this popular theme, made from the
famous Brady negatlvee In the war
department at Washington.
Deanlte the fact that these were
numerous other attractions on Sunday
afternoon, the opening game of the
baseball season of '00 on the A. F. C.
Held was well attended, In fact there
was a large attendance, over 400 be
Inr present. The gome was between
a colored team of ancouver, Welling
ton, barracks and a team from Fort
Stevens, and the former won by a
score of 14 to 12. If an attempt was
made to criticise the game. It couir
bo filled "full of hol,?s." Both teams
were wild and rattled and played ball
like a lot of farmers, but for all that
It was good fun for the spectators and
the BiirDrlMlnicly large crowd In at
tendunce rooted both teams from the
start to the finish and enjoyed the
game Immensely. Once In awhile
there was genuine good ball ployed
and then the crowd went wild. The
tteintance uiKin the gome Sunday, and
the satisfaction manifested over the
name, albeit It was not of the "crack
er Jack" order, haa greatly heartened
the local Astoria club, now organised
and ready for the field. It showed the
boys here that the Interest in base
ball was by no means dead In Astoria,
and guaranteed to them a generous
iupport v. hen the local team Is ready to
'nlay ball." The Astoria team, by
the by, will be the strongest ever
known In the history of the game In
this city, and should easily hold Its
own with anything that comes this
ay. The local team hope to book a
number of good games for Astoria dur
ing the coming Season and, If It suc
ceeds, will undoubtedly receive a warm
and paying support from the Astorlans,
always provided, of course, that they
pla ygood ball.
Aerie 17, Fraternal Order of Eagles,
en
itertnlned on Sunday afternoon Arte
No
4 of Portland, who came to the
city some fifty strong for a fraternal
greeting and a good time at the Asto-
roost. After a brief lodge meeting
doors of the lodire room In Odd
Follows hall were thrown open to In
vited guests, not members of the order,
who had been invited to share In the
enjoyment of the reception. The pro-
am, which was arranged witn uue
Terence to the time the reception
iMveaunrllv had tn be iriven. was un
questionably the best ever presented
the local lodge of any order in we
r. It was largely musical In Its
nature and the presence of nearly all
members of Barlow s minsireis,
fkm down esDeclally for the oc
casion and who willingly contributed
their share of songs and Instrumental
solos
to the entertainment added mucn
to
the enjoyment of the Eagles
their guests. The major-
and
ltv
of
the business men of the
city were present, at one time or an-
other during the afternoon, and the
arr.sts and fines of thos'j who were
tardy and upon other complaints, furn
ished unlimited amusement. On or
two of th topical songs, esp-.-clally
composed by local talent, made a great
hit. Refreshment were served and
well served. Ther was no "go-hirlp-yourself
proposition" but committee
In charga of that portion of the re
ception, saw that everyone had
an abundance of Ihe good things pro
vided. It was I o'clock when the re
ception to the public opened and after
( o'clock when It closed and then In
the evening, the local Eagles turned
out a number of fledglings to fly from
the parent nest for the first time. In
every way the reception tendered the
Portland Kagles and the Barlow min
strels by the Astoria birds was worthy
of pralaa and commendation.
TUB BARLOW MINSTRELS.
Play to a Good House and Put Up an
Entertaining Program.
i i
Barlow's mlnstHs gave a clever, but
rather hurried, entertainment to
large audience at the opera house last
night. The company la composed of
very young men, as minstrels go, but
lows nothing by that as the perform
nn-.-e they .five would do credit to the
oldest heads in the business.
In costumes and stage settings, ee
peclally In the first part, txcellent taste
waa dlsplayel The audience would
hiva been iftad to exchange aome of
the old-time specialties for musical
numbers, as In the company there wi
a number of exceptionally good voices
and many finished musicians.
The performance was clean, without
a suggestion of vulgarity in the speech,
diess or manner of any of the per
formers, and while by no means the
best minstrel show ever riven In As
lorlo, it was well worth the potronage
of the people.
FOR A COMMON POINT.
City Council Fetts In Special Session to
Pas a Traffic Resolution.
The city council met In special ses-
Mon lust night and passed the follow
ing resolution:
"Resolved. That we view with alarm
the inaction of the Union Pacific sys
tem In th mattter of providing ships
of the heaviest draft for a line between
the Orient and the mouth of the Co
lumbia, while the lines most interested
In Seattle and Son Francisco are build
ing such ships with the greatest speed
to catch that greatsst of the world's
commerce.
"Itesoived, That we fear a railroad
combination has been formed to di
vert all the Oriental traffic from na
ture's highway along the Columbia
water levels, to the common injury of
Astoria and Portland nnd to the great
loss of all the producers of this great
bubln. We believe, too, this combina
tion is based on Portland's hostility
to making Astoria the seaport and
would fall as soon aa that hostility
ended.
"Itesoived, That extension of the
Union Pacific system to Astoria, by
granting to this port the common Jus
tice of a common point, with Sound
porta, would secure to the Columbia
river Its rightful share of that Ort
ental commerce, and would, at the
same time, by means of this first-class
cheap-charter port, add millions of
dollars annually to the value of the
exports of this basin, to the general
benefit of all the Jwellers therein.
Itesoived, That Portland and As
toria are mutually Interested in mak
ing Astoria the seaport of this basin.
Astoria cau never be the rival of Port
land for her local trade, as a little
reflection will show. Nature has pro
vlded that the local trade of the for
mer shall be west, and of the latter
east, of the Coast range. It so hap
pens that trade up-stream from Port
land would have extra freight and pas
senger expense over a continuous line
to Astoila, while rival roads to Pugut
sound would always make Seattle and
Tacoma common points with Portland.
In this way, while the Sound cities, as
the centers of Oriental Imports and
exnorta. would be Portland's rivals In
the Inland Empire, Astoria could not
be such. At the same time, exports
at this low-charter port would add
millions of dollars annually to the
pockets of the Columbian producers,
who would trade In Portland. Con
centrating the Oriental imports and
exports here would mass the Immigra
tion of the east on this basin, more to
Portland's growth and Increased values
than to Astoria's, and would Insure
to Portland (through her other great
suburb Oregin City) a prompt control
of the manufacturing trade or the
Orient, all to the end of making Port
lund the chief city of the Paclflo coast
at the same time that Astoria would
become, aa Nature designed, the chief
seaport of Western America.
"Resolved, That we submit to the
people of Portland these views of the
mutuality of Interest between the two
cities In the great harbor at the mouth
of the Columbia and Invite their at
tention to a serious consideration of
the same, and to the importance of
co-operating with Astoria In procuring
the Union Pacific system, according
to its Interest on natural grounds, to
make Astoria a common point on all
exports of the Columbian basin giv
ing, if desired, to Portland a pro rata
differential according to distance and
expense of construction and mainten
ance.
"Resolved. That we confidently rely
on the A. & C. R. R.. as our own rail
road, to do all In Us power to aid In
securing the needed common point on
ineao just lines.
"Resolved. Thlt all the press of this
basin be and they are hereby invited
to open their columns to a full discus
l"n of this great public problem In the
common Interest.
"Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be furnished to the Portland
chnmber of commerce, the Portland
board of trale, the common council of
the city of Portland, to Chairman Har
rlman of the Unlwi Pacific system and
to the Dally Oregnlan."
The chamber of commerce has been
working along the same lines for sev
eral month and has. gained much
headway.
POLITICAL PRATTLE.
Doings Within the Rank and File of
the Various Organization.
The local political pot I a long time
coming to a boll, and on every bond
there is abundant evidence of a ten
dency upon the port of the candidate
to make "a one-man's canvass." In
other words, each nominee seems to
feel that his only obligation to his par
ty I to look to his own political
fences, and, even though he runs
across a fellow-candidate with his
fences badly down, he does not feel It
Incumbent upon him to lose the time
from his own fight In order to aid bis
fellow candidate in his extremity.
The Astoiian has already warned
the republican candidates against this
manner of compalgnlng. It Inevitably
lead to trad.ni and compromises
whereby one selfish candidate secures
votes for himself at the expense of
other men on the ticket
The candidates have met, the execu
tive committee of all parties have
assembled and "resoluted" and yet
none of them seem to have formulated
any plans for a campaign. This, soon
er or later, will be found to be a grave
mistake. The voters, ' quick to seize
the easiest solution of compromising
their fealty to friend and party, wfll
flr.d In the Individual canvas pro
gram ample Justification for support
ing men on any, all or no tickets at
all, and when taxed with not being
loyal to their party, will have the ex
cuse ready that "It waa anybody's
llpht In the county. Politics and plat
forms didn't count"
This certainly should not be. The
Independents who are running this year
in Clatsop county, while in themselves
appear to cany absolutely no weight,
are being given a false strength be
cause of the want of thorough party
organisation of the canvass. If nom
inees on party tickets, and men who
run for the same offices as Independ
entsbecause they could not get a
nomination on a party ticket are to
make the same sort of a canvass, gen
eral consternation and party disor
ganization can only be the result and it
would be better to have a ''go-as-you-
please," "everybody get in" county
election all' around without calling
county conventions at all.
Martin Olsen declares that he will
strut Into the office of coroner with a
plurality of not less than 700. While
he Is at it, Olsen should complete his
canvass of the county In order that
he might make the thing unanimous.
From numerous candidates, who have
been going about the county In their
own Interests, and a few of them for
the whole ticket on which they are run
ning, it Is learned that the county elec
tion In Clatsop county this year Is
going to be full of surprises. So long
as the surprises come the right way
they will be most welcome, but careful
party managers do not like surprises.
They prefer certainties, based upon the
operation of well-known rules of pro
cedure, the first and foremost of
which Is: "Let every candidate work
for all on his ticket and in so doing
he will do better work for himself."
It Is a v ell-known fact that Clatsop
leads all other counties in the state in
the proportion of Its Independent vote
to that cast for the old line parties.
But that this Independent vote will be
greater than ever this year is a con
viction upon which all local leaders
agree.
It Is the man who has always been
accustomed to corn bread and bacon at
home, who does the most kicking at
a hotel.
It is Incontrovertible !
The Editor of the Christian Million,'
under the heading of General Notes, on
August to, 1S96, wrote :
" A good article will stand anon Its owa
merits, and we may rely upon It that nothing
will continue king which does not. In a mora
or lees degree, harmonlie with the state
ments which are published concerning It."
Mr. Hall Calnc,
Author of "The Deemster," "Th Manx
man," "The Christian," ate, when speak
ing on "Criticism," recently, said :
" When a thing that Is advertised greatly
la good It goes snd goes permanently ; when
It le bad, It only goes lor a while 1 the public
finds it out."
The Proprietor of
BEECHAM'S PILLS
has tsid over and over again :

FOR TERMINAL FACILITIES.
President Harris Takes Observations
Along the Mouth of Columbia.
W. 3. Harris, president of the Cen
tral Navigation Company, more com
monly known as the Paul Mohr port
age line, spent Sunday In Astoria and
lower Columbia river points.
The object of Mr. Harris' visit was
to investigate the natural facilities of
fered in this vicinity for terminal ac
commodations for the trans portatloa
line in which he is Interested. Mr.
Harris, In company with L. B. Seeley,
of Portland; Colonel John Adair
and Dr. August Kinney, of Astoria,
made a trip along the Washington side
of the river on board the Mller dur
ing the afternoon, returning to Astoria
by way of Hammond and Warrenton.'
Mr. Harris did not hesitate to express
the opinion that the Oregon shore of
the river presented more attractions
for terminal facilities than did the
Washington side. Aside from Urls,
however. President Harris bad noth
ing to say.
There is little question but that the
Central Navigation Company fully in
tends to establish Its terminal points
at this end of the river either at As
toria or at some place nearer the
mouth of the Columbia. The suspicion
has been freely expressed that Port
land would be the lower terminal of
the line but from statements made
by President Harris on Sunday It Is
safe to infer that the interests of the
company He mainly at the mouth of
the river, as far as a terminal is con
