THOMAS H. TONGt'E.
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

house. This Is a great victory for
Senator Fulton and gives him control
of the organization.

NKW YOHK, Jan. 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.
