Occasionally there rises up from among the great mass of people whip man whose capabilities, endearing per sonal charaoteVlstios anj unusual ener gy mark him for public service. As the years roll by his popularity grows, and. when, like other men, he passes from this life, a great sorrow comes to his constituents. Such a man was Thomas H. Tongue, congressman from the First Oregon district, w ho expired suddenly at Wash ington city on Sunday, and hose un expected death shocked the entire state. He had made his own way In the world, advancing himself from an hum ble station In life to that of a leader In national affairs an attainment that conies to but few, and one that Is rare ly filled with as much satisfaction as our lamented congressman had given. Indomitable courage and a desire to do right made him what he was. It Is cruelly said of him that he "erred" tn his views on the money question; but the stand taken. by him at that time served only to demonstrate that he had sought to subserve the best interests of his people. The crisis then existing called for heroic legislation, and Con gressman Tongue was found advocat ing thos? policies which he believed would operate to the betterment of the nation. No more tireless worker ever repre- eented a state than Congressman Toncue, and his death was a sacrifice to Oregon. Day and night he toiled, hastening the early death that he was , fated to meet, and it will be a long Mine before another such man is found to fill his place. Tom Tongue belor.gid to Oregon, and the bereavement of his family is not greater than that of the commonwealth whose affairs he had so Judiciously handled. . THE NORTH SHORE TRADE. The suggestion re?3ntly made in The Astorian that an independent boat be placed on the Astoria Ilivaco run finds favor on the north shore, and ample support can be relied upon. The first merchants' steamer has - already brought many thousands of dollars to this- city, and an independent boat to Ilwaco woull net double the business that comes from points farther up the river. Ths Ilwaco Journal, in dis cussing the matter, says: The proposition for a double steamer service on the Astoria-Ilwaco route is again being agitated by the merchants of Astoria and was formally presented to the Astoria Push club at its regular meeting on last Wednesday evening. Astoria m.'rehants have finally come to the .sondusion that the trade of the peninsula on thee Washington side is well worth going after, and it Is pur posed to put on a seaworthy boat be tween points named and way stations, the steamer leaving Ilwaco in the morning and departing from Astoria in the iftemoon, reaching Ilwaco in the evening. The ruc?:i8 of the Cathlamet steamer traffic, says The Dally Astorian, prac tically Insures the success of the pro posed new line" to Ilwaco, and the sug gestion is being very favorably receiv ed y Astoria and Ilwaco merchants in ctfinion, The statement is also made that a moderate fare will be charged and everything done for the conven ience and accommodation of shoppers. This latter statement probably im plies, that a moderate charge will also be made for carrying freight. IK the event of the installation of thi new service it is certain Astoria will receive the bulk, if not all, the trulle that otherwise goe? to Portland un$ othf-r uprlver points. If this prrtjcctfcca'hnof beWipompIlshed now It wiu iook very inucn one u scin-mi; aut'iia'ted by Astoria parties to bring th.j O. R. & N. company to time in making freight an 1 passenger rates be tween Astoria and the peninsula. The trafle of the 'Washington' hide? Is worth striving for. ti The army has lxs?a. sufferlngjfjem.a deirth of surgeons. There are a large number of vacancies in the staff and while several examinations have been held, the number of qualified applicants forthe positions who have presented themselves hat been so very small that there Is no prospect of Immediate relief from this condition. Of those who do prtl-ent themselves, the number who t pas the very stiff examination is small. A plan to remedy this con- ditlon of affairs has been evolved by Surgeon-Geaer.U O'Reilly of the army, according to the Army and Navy Reg ister. ,It la his Idea to take. graduates and, ufter examining them as to their general qualifications, admit them to the army medical school in Washing ton and give them a training In special branches for a year or more, subjecting them to examinations as they progress and at the end of the term select from among them those who are deemed competent to fill the vacancies In the medical .n. Such as do not find a place In the regular establishment would be of use 1n the national guard organisations, which later will be bene fitted by having available young n.cn who ire specially trained In military medicine and surgery, hygiene and sanitation. In this way the stai . ,npJ( woulJ nave ;lUhPU. m.Xing sur gcons who have a practical knowledg. of their military as well as professional duties. - Senator Rruwnell has been elected president of the senate and Kepresent a live Harris speaker of the lower house.

U.-The aglta tallon In favor of the railway reform has reiflved great Impetus from a nwh made by Mr. Banbury, pttst- dent of the board of agriculture nnd j a ittuttihti' ,,f thtk lti'lttwh cutiitiof ill i a conference of farmers at Leicester, in which he said it was a matter of regret that the Hrltlsh railway com panies were not composed more of business and less of ornamental di rectors, so that the railways might be managed '.n a more business-Ilk.' way. British rail.v ly dividends for the halt year en led December 31 are expected to sh.nv up well in comparison vlthj the previous distribution, but taking a wider view of the finance of the rail- j ways of this country, .every year for1 the 'ast levade has seen capital In-j crease and dividends decrease. The proportion of working expenses to total gross re.vipts has systematically In creased in he same period, while on the other hand the proportion of net receipts to capital decreased. Passenger traffic Is steadily becom ing less profitable and the companies may have to face an enormous capital expenditure In the near future, as the reforms which must accompany any rorganlzations of the goods traffic will Involve a heavy outlay.
