The people of the city of Astoria should be proud of their Commercial Club. This enterprising organization has gone in for athletic sports, and its teams are meeting with the success that comes of diligent effort. Last season's football eleven fur nished some of the best sport ever seen in the west, closing the football year with the fine record of vic tory in every game. This season's ball team is a atrong one, and is providing excellent sport for the people of the city. The bowlers, after years of ef fort, have succeeded finally in winning the famous Feldenheimer trophy, and there is little reason to be lieve that they will not defend it for some months at least Amateur sport is the only legitimate sport The professional baseball player is out at all times for the money. He does not accept long chances at fielding, because he is playing for a record that will net him more salary. The great interest in the game, Kowever, brings out in such towns as Portland crowds of 6000 to 10,000 people who pay 50 cents each to watch the efforts of some professional who is trying to make a good fielding record by refusing to accept chances that are apt to result in error on his part. His interest in the contest is purely a commercial one. ' On the other hand, the amateur is striving to up hold the name of his club. Nothing is too difficult for him to undertake, either on the gridiron or on the diamond. He is in the game because of his love ef legitimate sport. It matters not to him that he may err; he strives his best at all times, and, there fore, puts up the best exhibition. Baseball enthusi asts who have seen several of the professional games at Portland during the present season aver the game here a week ago between the Commercial Club and Fort Stevens teams was far more interesting than any which they had witnessed in the metropolis. Here they watched a game played by young men who were anxious to put up the very best quality of ball of which they were capable; there they saw a game played by men whose interest in the sport was purely commercial. Amateur sport is always far aliead of professional aport. The true interest in the game actuates the amateur; the professional is in it for what it will net him. In view of this fact, the people of Astoria t&ould give hearty support to the athletic club, which is just now prepared to successfully meet all comers at any of the three branches of sport with which it has taken up. opposition to him, still retains tfto backing of the great majority of the democratio voters. This ele ment will demand certain things at the convention and its demands must be mot It may allow reason to dictate its action, in which event it will agree to the nominutiou of a eoinpromi.se candidate such as Jfovor MoCIellan, who would probably be able to secure the support of both wings of the party. Cer tain it is a pronounced radical or a pronounced con servative will have no chance with President Kooso velt. Iu order to go into the campaign with a clmnoi to win, the democrats must name a man whose course has not been obnoxious to one or the other of the ele ments now fighting for supremacy. Mr. Cleveland represents the highest typo of his arty, but he is not in political position to make suc cessful bid for the nomination. It is evideut some one not yet prominently in the race will bo chosen at St Louis. ,' CLEVELAND AND THE NOMINATION. """ ; The Tacorna Ledger expresses the conviction that there is a very widespread demand for the nomination of Mr. Cleveland at the St Louis convention, and says only the services of a shrewd general would be necessary to swing the convention for the only man who broke republican rule in nearly 50 years. Were the late Secretary Whitney alive to do this very thing, our Tacoma contemporary avers, Mr. Cleve land would probably find himself nominated by the democrats. The people now appreciate Mr. Cleveland more than at the time he stepped down from the presi dential chair. His was a conservative administration ef our national affairs, and not at all calculated to appeal to the radical element of the republic. But, de spite this belated appreciation, there seems little ground for the belief that he may be nominated. First and foremost, he does not want the 'nomination. He knows the people are traditionally opposed to third tenns and, therefore, would probably not accept, even if he had not already declared in the most forci ble language that he would not take the nomination if it were tendered him. Mr. Cleveland has set his seal of disapproval upon the boom which his friends have started for him ; it is only reasonable to suppose that he is in earnest So far as the rank and file of the party are con cerned, Mr. Cleveland would not be an acceptable candidate. However much the fact may be regret ted by the conservatives, it is true the control of the party is still in the hands of the radicals. Mr. Bryan, hose dog-in-the manger policy has brought much CUBAN RECIPROCITY. The results of the Cuban reciprocity treaty are already becoming apparent, and must be regarded as gratifying and as vindicating the contentions of the advocates of that policy. Briefly stated, our im ports from and our exports to Cuba are both increas ing, and at a steadily increasing ratio. That is pre cisely as it should be, and we are confirmed in the ex pectation that the process will continue, at least on one side and in one direction, until the Unted States has the dominant place in Cuban trade to which it is entitled by its proximity and by the natural reciproc ity of demands and supplies which exists between the two countries. It is observed that imports from Cuba have in creased much more than exports to that country. That was fully expected when reciprocity was adopt ed. It was inevitable that it should be so, and there was no reason to deprecate it, and there is no reason to regret it The circumstance arises, of course, from the fact that Cuba's contributions to our market are much less varied than are ours to hers. Reci procity meant, to her, chiefly an open market for her sugar. She has been able in the first year of the new system to send to us a greatly increased proportion of her sugar crop. That has meant an enormous in crease in her sales to us, about 95 per cent. But there can De no great continuation or tne increase, lieri productive capacity is limited. When she is sending us all her sugar her sales can increase only as her sugar growing capacity increases, which will be com paratively, slowly. On the other hand, the increase in our sales of varied products to her, although slow er, will probably be much longer maintained, and will be maintained at a greater rate. Thus far it has been only 25 per cent, as compared with her 95. But next year the report is likely to be that her sales to us have increased much less than 95 per cent, while ours to her have increased far more than 25. The growth of a varied trade is necessarily slower than that of a trade in only one or two articles. But it is no less sure. The prediction that reciprocity would benefit all classes of American producers seems to be verified. Comparison of March, 1903, with March, 1904, shows an increase in sales of agricultural implements, for example, of from $2,858 to $10,155 and of locomotives from $5174 to $8650. That is good for the manufac turers. . But the sexports of wheat flour have also increased, from $178,830 to $375,800. That is good for the' farmers of the United States. In fact, the very circumstance that has made the increase in our j exports slower than that 'in imports makes the in crease beneficial to the greatest variety of American industries and industrialists. 'The current statistics dmonstrate that Cuban reciprocity has secured an enlarged market and consequent advantages for American farmers. There are no indications anywhere that it has caused any injury to them, not even to those sugar beet growers whose impending ruin was not long ago so tearfully set forth. We have not heard of the abandonment of the American beet sugar industry, and we have perceived no reason why it should be abandoned on account of Cuban reci procity. This is the practical vindication of reciprocity upon the basis of dollars and cents. It is gratirying to have such vindication of it, which we were from the outset confident we should have. The higher vindication of it resides in the fact that it is just and right, as a matter of international ethics, apart from all considerations of profit and loss. Not always do abstract right and practical, concrete profit so closely coincide as in this case they happily do.
