SOME GENTLE REMINDERS I
Our friend, the Oregonian, will pleas
bear in mind that Astorians started the
aeitation for the deepening and improve
ment of the Columbia River bar! That
AMoria haa been constant and earnest
in its endeavor to have the same brought
to final completion, and is still work
inj? to that endl That Astorians have
believed, and do still believe, that the
Columbia River bar improvement should
be finished before any great amount of
trork shall be done toward building
locks or canals on the Columbia, op the
Willamette Rivers.
That Astoria wishes to see the deep
est draught vessels that sail the seven
seas eome into the waters of the State
of Oregon via the Columbia bar; after
which they- may go to Skamokawa,
Rainier, St. Helen's, or Portland!
That the Board of Pilot Commission
ers or what-so-ever-else institution may
be organized for the government of the
pilots and pilotage, may be taken 10
Portland whenever it becomes essential
so to do. It duties will be entirely
perfunctory, here, or there, and there
is no money in it for either port.
The great daily will also recall the
certain fact, not .forgotten here by any
manner of means, that when Astoria
was fetriving to engage the good office
of the government in behalf of the in
itial improvement of the Columbia
River bar, Portland made up and des
patched a strong lobby to Washington
to defeat the projeet, and did delay it
unconscionably. That when we asked
for the use of the dredger Columbia kst
year, Portland suddenly discovered that
her new boilers, put in less than a year
previous at a cost 0: $80,000, at San
Francisco, were of no avail and she
could not be of service!
These things are all part and parcel
of the record and do not contribute very
handsomely to the discreditable stand
now taken by the Oregonian; nor does
its silence in view of the recent quota
tions from its columns made by this
paper anent these Urges issues. AD
"LEST WE FORGET," PERHAPS THE
OREGOXIAN WILL TELL US WHAT
IT MEANT, WHEN IT SAID, EDITOR
IALLY, OX THE 15TH OF OCTOBER,
1894. "WE WANT A RAILROAD FROM
PORTLAND TO ASTORIA, AND MORE
THAN ONE, IF POSSIBLE. WE
SHALL NOT GET THE BEST RE
SULTS FROM SHIPPING THE PRO
DUCE OF THE COLUMBIA REGION
TO THE SEA TILL CARS MAY GO
THROUGH TO ASTORIA WITHOUT
TRANSHIPMENT AND RE-HANDLING
OF THEIR CONTENTS."

' THE ASTORIA RATE.
The whole world will please takei
notice that when the question of the
extension of the common-point rate on
wheat is conceded to this port either
at the instance of the railways them
selves voluntarily, or by the interven
tion of the Inter-State Commerce Com
mission, under the latest amendment to
the law, it will not be the Portland rate,
the Tacoma nor the Seattle rate; but
the seaboard rate; the one that oper
ates at San Francisco and all other 1m
mediate ocean ports.
. . We want no differential lying against
this nort. It will not be needed, and
will not be tolerated. We are going
after all that belongs to the Port of
Astoria in this line, and we know what
beloneg to us. .
We are upon the very 'marge of the
sea; within two hours of the offing, and
on this side of the jetties we have the
room to handle the fleets of the world
and channels to float them to ample
berths, docking or anchorage, and there
is no call nor jutilUtion for anything
av the freest of minimum charge tnai
prevail anywhere in the world, uuder
similar conditions.
When the jetty system shall hav
been finished and has done the work of
deepening the Columbia bar, there will
lie no further questions to aggravate
the muster of a "hip, except that of
nltotai!. and not that, with 40 feet o!
blue water washing the barrier, on the
flood, and his orders do not conflict
and his chart-wok hold all that is
necesarv.
And this is exactly what we wautcd
to send a man to Bremen, Germany
for during the present month, and not,
as the Oregonian ealmly and falsely
declared in Monday' paper, to defeat
or hamper the Portland project for
which her commissioner. . B. wngiu
was contendinir. and upon which he won
out, after the International Ship Own
er' Association, then and there asem
bled, had heard from the Astoria Cham
ber of Commerce and wa apprised of
the new deal that is impending lor lui
port, and due in the early future!
THE WWmil UW.
GTantimr. for the sake of argument
that there is such a thing as the "un
written law," and that it may be in
voked under certain distressing cir
cumstance in the home-life, it strikes
us that it vogue is due in tremendous
1 1L. 4l ! . . n n.l ,t.
measure w me luppaut iu
versal disregard of the written codes.
W may say what we please, we are, as
a nation, becoming intolerant and de
fiant of the law of the country and
the test and term of the code have be
come altocether too pliable under the
stres of manipulation, and money, and
the crowing abandonment of the lotty
and old-fashioned principle that once
inspired the American bar. There are
new plea and precedents set up every
day, now, that were never heard of be
fore ,and because tliey happen t0 serve
one cause on appeal tbey are invoked
scam and acain. until the new and
questionable issue and procedure become
fixed and useable element tor toe pro
tection of men, and women, too, who
might feel the utter limit of honest
reprisal under the law a it stands, if
they had not money enough to inspire
a radical interpretation of that law.
This is a grave view to take of the
question but it is fairly justified bv
even a cursory review of the startling
presentments made all over the coun
try from time to time duriug the past
few years. A deeper regard for tne
accepted rule of action and the penal
tie attaching, would put the hypo-
thetical code o conspicuous ai presem,
in the back ground promptly and
thoroughly.

REJECT TREATY.
Jap Arousing Sentiment at Home
Against Americaa-Japasese Treaty.
VICTORIA, B. G, June 25 Advices
were received by the Emperor of Japan
from Tokio, that Yamadka Otakicbi, of
Seattle, who with Yamada of San Fran
cisco is in Japan arousing public opinion
against the United Statw, with regard
to the San Francisco affair in an in
terview with Viscount Hayasbi, foreign
minister, urged the adoption of pro
posals that Japan reject the American
Japanese treaty mutually restricting irn
migration; that the later part of arti

LOGGING CAMPS WILL
SHOT DOWN
CAMPS REPRESENTING SEVENTY
PER CENT OF THE LOWER COLUM
BIA OUTPUT WILL CLOSE JULY
1 TO AUGUST 1.
rURTLAXP, dune 23. Eighteen log
ging camps representing 70 per cent of
the output ftf the lower Columbia River
and its tributaries will winain cUwed
from July 1 to August 1. This wa the
action taken yesterday at a meeting of
logger held in the Chamber of Com
merce room in Portland.
"We decided to suspend operation
for 30 dav for the dual purpose of re
ducing the aurplu of log that ha ac
cumulated and to preserve a healthy
market for loss and their product,"
said R. 8. Fmrrell, the ecretary at the
meeting.
"There is now a surplus of 62.000.lW
ifeet of log which i ample to supply
the sawmills of thit section for some
time to come.
"We will bold another meeting In this
city on July 27th to decide whether
we shall continue the shutdown for an
other month. Other Important mat
ters are to be considered at that meet
ing including the proposed raising from
ft.50 to W a week of the charge for
boarding men in the logging camps.
Under present condition we feel we
cannot longrr pay the present achedule
of wages, which range from f3 to $0 a
day. At the July meeting we will con
sider the advisability of making a 10
per cent reduction in wages.'

Nonpartisanship In Judges.
By DAVID J. BREWER, Associate Justice of the Suprama Court
of the United Stales.
CIIERE is undoubtedly a belief on the port 'of some that a long
tenure in judicial office is agninst the truo theory of popular
government, and there is in consequence a elnmor that the
judicial term of office shall be reduced TO A 'RHIEF
PERIOD. I once had occasion an circuit ju l:e t decide a mutter in
volving the prohibition laws of Kansas and decided it ugninst the con
victions of the radical advocates of prohibition, whereupon tho lenders
met in convention and passed a r?s'!uthn tU-rnaudinjr that federal
judges should be appointed or elected TOR ONLY ONE YEAR.
The judge;! of the federal courts a well as of the courts of two or
three states are appointed for life, which intensifies the clamor against
them.
Yet the very persons who have this feeling in respect to judicial
decisions would shrink from carrying it to its LOGICAL RESULT.
They would at first distrust and soon despise a judge whose decisions
were always in favor of one set of men or one party. A man may be
never so strong a partisan, and yet he not unnaturally begins to lose
confidence in the integrity of a judge who is deciding all cases W
FAVOR OF JUS PARTY. There is a conviction which cannot be
put one side that partisanship on the part of a judge is a grievous
wrong.

Medical Expert
Is Not Highly Regarded.
By Dr. CLARK BELL, President of the Mdleo-Usl Society of New York City.
CHE reason medical expert evidence is generally regarded as a
matter of dollars and cents is becauso the expert represents
the side that employs him almost as much as the counsel does.
This is the fault of the PRESENT SYSTEM and is not the
fault of the medical expert It can only be remedied by legislation.
The Maine bill is tho best and most feasible plan of meeting the pres
ent situation. The bill originated through the efforts of L A. Emery,
chief justice of the supreme court of Maine.
Take, for example, the Thaw case. Suppose that this bill now pro
posed had been adopted by the legislature of the ftato of New York
and a motion had been made in tho supreme court for the appointment
of three or five eminent alienists to HEAR AND DETERMINE
THE QUESTION AT ISSUE in that caso. Suppose further that
two leading experts of the defense, Dr. Charles P. Wagner and Dr.
Britton D. Evans, had been appointed by tho court, with Dr. Austin
Flint and Dr. Mabon. ' The conditions would havo been wholly
changed. There would not have been the slightest occasion for the
PARTISANSHIP that was exhibited at that trial.
THE BILL PROVIDE8 THAT THE EXPERT8 THU8 SELECTED
SHALL BE PAID BY THE STATE, AND THE AMOUNT OF THEIR
COMPENSATION 18 TO BE FIXED BY THE JUDGE WHO TRIES
