SOUNDS TEX KEY-HOTE, Resuming the long-drawn mrgument it has maintained for years, the Ore goniaB, of yesterday, proceed to show that Astoria has the least to lose in the matter of tea-commerce of any of the three countries, Multnomah , Columbia and Clatsop, by reason of the fact that on that day the following was the exact distribution of vessels loading at the various "ports" en route from hie Columbia bar to the metropolis: "The reason for Clatsop's Indifference to the fate of the Columbia River ship ping may be found In the figure men tioned. These figures show that there were loading at Multnomah County ports yesterday, 17 vessels of 23,113 tons register. At Columbia County ports there were 5 vessels of 65H tons register and at Clatsop County ports, two vessels of S9S tons register. There are times during the year when Astoria makes a more favorable showing, hut she has long since fallen behind the Coumbia County porta In shipping 1m- nortance." In going to the trouble to get up this schedule, the big paper has done us the favor to sound the very key-note of our "deathless contention," the mis erable fact that Astoria, the second lartrest citv in Orejron: the one real. logical and nsuable port on the whole Oregon coast, must be ignored and derid ed in the interest of Portland, whose hold on the commerce df the Columbia Valley is so weak and so uncertain that she is desperately fighting with such foul weapons as the 'Tort of Columbia" law to retain it; that this splendid har bor, among the finest on the earth, must have but two small craft loading at its wharves where a thousand, of any ton nage, might be served, because the wealth and influence of the metropolis lures them by and beyond this haven 112 miles np a couple of rivers go shallow that only the lesser bottom of the deep can be utilized, the greater car riere going to the Sound is deference to the better channels and facilities; that this last outrage is permittej bythemen of Portland, rather than exert their im mense influence to keep that huge com merce in the Oregon port of Astoria, to the alleged discomfiture of the me tropolis; that the one deadly fear that ha possessed. Portland all these years, the commercial ascendancy of Astoria should blind her to the merits of this port and urge her to baffle and cripple us at all times In all ways, lest we take on the natural and rational uplift inherent in our one - magnificent quality; , that knowing our great and righteous claim over all other places, inland, or on the seaboard, she uses her might to worst and defeat us always, in the maritime eye of the world, when she has proven her own inadequacy to maintain the place she assumed. We have nothing to say against the little ports up the river; they are "ports" only because they have the good fortune to have certain mills well es tablished on their meagre fronts, and send forth what Of the world's wants they happen to have; they are not ports ' in the sense that usually applies to that term; no vessels ever clear from them under the marine laws of the country, Portland and Astoria being the only ports from which they can officially en ter or depart; their success does hot enter into the big, vital Issue between the metropolis and this city; this is a city of 15,000 people and it has noth ing to do with the intermediate busi ness along the river, and the Oregonian knows it, but injects these landings for purposes of argument. We have but one text, and plenty of time to arerue it. We, of Astoria, are conscious cf an impending change in j conditions hereabout, thst meant the long-deferred application of all attri bute that we contend belong to ut, and among them the realisation of Astoria's marine supremacy, the final eataousn ment of that for which the wa or dained bv the God of Xaturej and this will come, at some propitious hour, Portland and all other power to the contrary notwithstanding. Our faith I ample to keep us warm with hope, despite the attitude of the Orejroman and the good people of Port land. No eaue it to hopeless that it can he argued down or talked out. We are.still in the ring! i I 0 - ; All HONORS PAID. The American world has paid its de Totion to the dead of the nation and the family, aeeording to th beautiful cus toms appropriate to Memorial Day. Here at Astoria the tun, the air, the flowers, the tea and the hills, were all ideal, and the last soul in the commas ity wtt abroad, save those detained In door by illness. Every business door was sealed for the day and all was given over to the sacred and tad obliga tiont that were paramount, There is much to be thankful for in these grave Intermissions in the feverish schedule of our daily Uvea; the oppor tunity to call our thoughts back to the happier and holier quests of life; the demand upon the deeper and better in spirations of our natures, and the ac quirement of newer and better impulses to actuate us and change the trend of our purposes; the harking back to the lives and histories of those in whom our pride and faith are centered, and whom we honor as we rarely honor the living. It is well to check the swift course of our eager careers and think of something beside the dollar, absorbing, and ab sorbed. We are all the better for the momentary halt, and if there is no other refreshment innuring, we may count the largest of a duty done, to our credit, at least 0 ' D 8S EDITORIAL SALAD. . We have no difficulty now In under standing what is meant by "persecu tion of capital." So much has been said adverse to the railroads and so many states have felt tt their duty to trim their receipts that all the companies are in straits for mean to carry on ordinary extensions and improvements under way. Instead of the customary loans they are compelled to issue short short term notes at a high rate of In' terest The railroad that settles down Is lost They must go ahead ,and they are doing it at considerable cost.

The shortening of Nip ponese to Nips would be a matter to consider in the case. A Florida paper wants more immi grants. In that state the house has killed the senate's nullification foolery, and immigrants can afford to move in. Railroad and express rates have been reduced, in response to public demand. Something should now be done to reduce the cost Of things to be shipped. o 'in 38 lake porta in March the ship clearances footed np 1183, with a ton nage of 1,213,084.
