Fulton, a a witness in the federal circuit court, in the Jones land-fraud trial, was not the simple thing it looked to be. The senator waived the prerogative of his office to refuse to enter a court in that or any other capacity, and did his simple duty as a good citizen. But there was an animus behind the subpoena that is as dirty as it was fruit lees. There are certain people, alleged politicians who have fairly itched to in volve the Atoia man in the pending land-fraud cases and to besmirch him by intimation born of his slightest con section with the cases or the people at bar in the court. When he wrote the land department at Washington asking that Jones' claim be expedited he believed in Jones. Jones had been county judge and county clerk of Lincoln county and stood well gen (-rally and the senator, as a servant of the people, put his name to letters and endorsements in that relation, as any other representative would do, a friend and fellow citizen would do, who was in place to perform a signal ser vice. God be thanked there is one man in national life, from Oregon, who-e mantle is not, and cannot be, tarni-hed. today, am! is becoming le indispensable to men whose early training was in terwoven with its precepU and whose moral natures were predicated upon its high code. Ita influence i not ignored in a down-right fashion for the reason that few men are willing to admit they are absolutely weaned from the sacred prestige and power to which they owe so much, but there ia a growing disposi tion to put it in the second or third place of personal consideration and make it subservient to the grosser and more exacting things of life, ami this idea leads to the correlative proposition that the church mut modernize itself; must keep pace with t.e strange and alluring facta ai(tl impression! thai are pro jecting themselves into the live and passions of men earh succeeding day. It must put itself upon the plane of comaradicry that now inspires most of the organizations into which men are now grouping themselves for the pit NOTE AND COMMENT. The bed of the strikebreaker l not al ways of the most pleasant character. On Monday night a gang of non-union switchmen spent the night in a box car in the Crand Trunk yard at Klsdon, near llticago. Owing to the sympathy of the resident of the place for the striking switchmen the non-union men were refused food and lodging and U cap the climax even the saloons refused admit Urn to them. The suite of offices in the Flat iron building in New York that had been fit ted up for Messrs. Alexander, Hyde an.i Tarbell at a cost of $100,000 will be abandoned as it has been decided that they are a little too elaborate for pot life insurance men. Of course the in vestigation that ia now going on had poses of common benefit, aid, comfort nothing to do with the conclusion reach- and amusement. HE WHO FORGETS. ed by Hyde et al.

It is all verv we I to say he P"1!" seeks new and higher advantage for W of tL "Pt. awake uight to P0ST0FFICE FIGURES. Preliminary figures on the operation of the postoflice department for the fix cal year ended June 30 fehows that it business was greater in volume and its receipts larger by $10000,000 than in any year since the establishment of the government; the postage stamps, wrap pers, envelopes, postal cards and other mailing devices disposed of during the year numbered 7,704,982,163 and they brought in a revenue of $141,486,483; and the money-order transactions in volved the handling of about $1,000,000, 000 of "other people's money" an in crease of 20 per cent from the previous year. Surely, the United States gov ernment is "in business" fast enough and this postal business would easily be profitable were it not for the rural Iree-delivery service, a branch of the department's activities that absorbs more money than all the profits derived from operating our New York postoflice and those of other large cities. Still applications for the extension of this service get prompt a'tention and in most instances are granted; while New York City has to fight for every dollar that is granted her for the improvement of her postal service and too often loses her case. The puchase of a site for her new postoffice hasn't yet been com pleted after nearly four year of negoti ation. The rural free-delivery service is at least a convenience to not a few people and a mean of popular eduea tion a well; but it is a discouraging fact that profit-producing offices have to sustain it while they are themselves neglected. This is presumably on of the penalties that must be paid by greatness and success. CHURCHES INVOLVED. The church, like .11 other institutions to which men must contribute more, or leas, reguUriy and Urgelyi to feel the rt,.ta of tremendous compe tUim rife in the chilis J his family, broader schooling for his children and larger social influences for his woman kind. That is rot, pure and simple; if he remained in the place with which he was familiar to its last person and institution he would by careful direction of his money and affairs, rise to a point of in fluence and station impossible to him in the metropolis he flies to, and he could carry his family with him in the ascend ancy he achieves; his boys and girls could be sent to the choicer schools and greater colleges, and return home to honors they never reach, ordinarily, in the crowded city to which they are tak en as hostages to the Moloch of the Multitudes. If he were the right kind of a man he would not depart from the place and the companions to whom he owes everything, but would stay among them to prove his real worth and grati tude, and to help others along the same lines that led him to prosperity and the happiness that should go with it. o BAR COMES FIRST. No matter what railroad comes down the north bank of the Columbia river; no matter what interest absorbs the one already on the south bank of the same great stream; no matter what ambitions the great city of Portland may have; no matter how long thee big. portentious projects may be defer red; the paramount fact exi-ts for ever that they are dependent upon the channel of water traversing the bar of the Columbia river: Portland would be helpless with n 40 foot river and a 2.) foot bar, and equally impotent with a 40 foot bar and a 23 foot river, while Astoria can, anil will, live with either, and iloiiri-h abundantlv with the latter. Ergo, for the great good of Oregon, Portland and Astoria, there must be a 40 foot bar and a 40 foot river. Astoria has a day in the court of development and the docket may be bounded sooner than some people think. 0 OREGON IN CONGRESS. One of the weightiest problems in Ore gon politics just now is to know who are to be in congress with United States Senator diaries W. Fulton! He is good for a huge tak; this i- admitted on all sides. But he is not superhuman and the men holding the congressional pre rogative from Oregon just now, aside from the senator named, will not have the weight and prestige they once en joyed with the committee on appropria tions. There is a grave juncture here, and the state and her uncompleted and un initiated projects for internal im provement, must suffer without the larger representation. Perhaps, there is no precedent governing the situation, to its relief ; perhaps, if there was, Gov ernor Chamberlain would avoid it, or at the best, so employ it as to nullify the effect desired; perhaps ; well it is up to Mr. Fulton, so be it. His the glory, and Astoria's, tbe reflex renown. There is something wrong with the ozone up in Washington. A minister in that state takes exception to the prac tice of ministers receiving discounts on dry goods and groceries. In a mild way he also object to ministers receiving half fare permits on railways. Lives in Seattle, too, mind you. o Seattle is making its annual move to annex Ballard. The citizens of Ballard will have word or two to say about the question later on. 0 The Astorian 75 cents per month. Governor Pinecn of Illinois will not take any hand iu the Insurance investi gation that is now going on in New York, saying that he does not see how any state except New York can take a hand in the investigation. The stand taken by the governor shows that he is not looking for the same kind of no toriety that I -aw son is ti-hing for. l)r. Theodore Zinske. a German profes sor of chemistry, i real angry. To 1 Chicago newspaper he stated that he was "treated like a Chinaman," in this country, forced to pay $2 before he could get across the border to visit Seattle He neglects to say what seeing Seattle cost him, but if he got off at $2 he is entitled to an aluminum medal. President Roosevelt has been elected a vice president of the Public School Athletic league, because of the interest he has taken in the work. John W. Gates, the multi-millionaire, hi left Chicago and taken up his resi dence in New York. The man who de sires to offer congratulations will scratch his head for awhile before extending the same to either city. Tuff Katon is the name of a man run ning a restaurant in Wrangell, Alaska, and thoe who have patronized the place say that there is something in a nuine after all. One hundred and thirteen indictments have been returned against Dougherty, the Peoria school superintendent, and it is probable that when the district at torney is through with him the total number will be swelled to 200. His crooked transactions extended over a period of 20 years. If the same pre- cautions were taken in public offices that are used to safeguard the interests of .corporations Dougherty would have reached the end of his rope years ago. A Portia ml man claimed that he was robbed of $1.50 by a negress at 2 o'clock in the afternon and it took him six hours after the robbery was committed before he could find a policeman. Heats all what a fuss some people will make over such trifles. Notwithstanding the strong pressure brought to bear on Charles E. Hughes to accept the republican nomination for mayor of New York, ae has declined to be a candidate for the office. His rea. son for declining is that it would in terrupt his conduct of the insurance In quiry. The nomination was regarded a a bait offered by the large financial in terest to sidetrack him from the in vestigation. He regards his work a in quisitor of far greater importance to the public than it could be as mayor of New York. THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL. Maintains unexcelled service from th west to th east and south.
