THE LOGIC OF IT ALL.
The Morning Astoria n desires to be
loyal to Astoria, to Portland and to
the State, in striving for the future it
believes is destined to transpire for this
city and section. It want to say the
most it can for that destiny, honestly,
fearlessly, convincingly, and when it
finds a declaration in line, better aid
than it can ay it, the cause justifies
the repetition of the lnrger and better
statement and this paper employs it
gladly, as a meane to an end mot de
voutly wished for; therefore, it presents,
this morning, the sterling arguments
offered by the Portland Oregonian in
behalf of Astoria as the seaport for all
Oregon, in its i-ane of October 13, 1804,
than which there is nothing extant more
conclusively to the point, that we wot
of. It reads as follows:
"It is time the leemmate bounds or
local contention, the proper limitations
of local rivalry, were well understood.
It is not true that what builds up one
place or one section injures another
place or another section. Nothing we
shall ever do will supercede the ma the -mataical
principle that the whole is
merely the sum of its parts. A corollary
of this principle is that the best de
velopment of which each of the parts is
capable must come through the develop
ment of the whole together.
"We want a railroad from Portland
to Astoria, and more than one, if pos
sible. We shall not get the best results
from shipping the products of the Co
lumbia region to the sea till cars may
go through to Astoria without tranship
ment and rehandling of their contents.
Then we shall have an advantage in the
common railway rate to the seaboard, for
there will be no account of river charges
thereafter, though many ships may still
come to Portland. But, till this shall
be accomplished, there will always be
cround of discrimination against this
route, which it will be necessary to meet
and cover through various methods of
indirection. This Astoria rauroal there
fore will be quite as advantageous to
Portland as to Astoria, more so, indeed,
because of Portland's larger aggregate
interest. This railroad is the remaining
factor necessary for the assertion and
ma interlace of the water level route
through tbe mountains over all tbe
rnntei of ascent and descent, over all
routes subject to elevation, grades,
switchbacks, and tunnels. When our
common point shall be actually on the
tea, at a great fresh-water harbor, equal
to any harbor in the world, reached from
the great interior by a water level
route, while other roads are compelled
to climb hkh mountains, and then will
terminate at points distant from the
sea and subject to the cnarges or towage
and pilotage, our real advantages will
become apparent; the more so still when
the Columbia River and its great tribu
taries shall have been opened to con
tinuous navigation and this is not
distant and shall bear the products of
Oregon, Washington and Idano direct to
the sea. The railroad, upon the inter
ior line, between Portland and Astoria,
will open a great country between these
places, which, with tins ancillary enter
prise, will soon be as thickly inhabited
as any part of the Northwest. This is
not a Portland scheme nor an Astoria
scheme, but an Oregon scheme using
the term Oregon in the large sense
formerly embraced in the ' geographical
expression, when Oregon included the
Pacific Northwest of the United States.
"We shall have the Columbia River
railway to Astoria, which will place our
we shall have a line through Clatsop,
Columbia and Washington, connecting
Portland and Astoria that way and
opening the riches of the interlying
country. We shall get more farmers and
more producers in all lines, shall sub
divide and clear up our lands, diversify
production and get ahead. Having
achieved so much already, it is time to
renew the energy of the earlier day, and
ALL CREDIT GRANTED.
The exceptional feature of th bin
and entertaining pr,-rom employed to
lure niut divert the visiting ttitnu!
that thronged our street on the
"glorious Fourth wa the fact that it
vu.s provide,! an.l engineered intwt suc
cessfully by a group of young huiie and
gentlemen fivm the High School of As
toria. H is freely conceded that they
did an exceedingly good piece of work
and there are none to deny them the
full credit that falls their way. It i
not often such affair are entrusted to
the supposedly immature hands of the
youngsters, and -the abundant eelat with
which the duty was discharged in this
instance, is proof positive of the wU
dom of so plating the trust. There are
two results determnsble In this case:
The relief it engendered to those who
for years have had almost consecutive
charge of these events, and th valu
able exeprienw it conferred upon the
young people and the assurance that
they can do it again In whole or in part;
thus taking their place in the civic
field and learning to dispose of pubic
engagements aptly and successfully. It
Is a Kood lesson in citizenship and will
not be soon forgotten, especially if the
responsibility is frequently confided to the
same sort of agents, the custom being
certain to create an element of prepared
ness on the part of the young people
who will come to expect their share of
the work each year.

G. B. Burhana, of Carlisle Center, N.

wrote you stating that I had been en
tirely cured of a severe kidney trouble
by "taking less than two bottles of
Foley's Kidney Cure It entirely stop
ped the brick" dust sediment, and pain
and symptoms of kidney disease disap
peared. I am glad to say that I have
never had a return of any of those
symptoms during the four years that
have elapsed and I am evidently cured
to stay cured, and heartily recommend
Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffer

The Genius of the Dramatist.
By JAMES BRYCE. British Ambassador to th United States.
HINK of the vast suma poured out for the support of the the
ater! Think of the audience ualui waiu upon the playwright
today! NEVER IX THE WOilLDS illSTOKY wuh
there anything like it, never. Would it not have boon ex
pected that the opportunity for a dramrtipt would produce one of the
first magnitude ? It has failed to do so. I am not competent to discuss
the modern play. It is TOO VARIED, too complex a themo. But
I cannot refrain from feeling that one of the greatest opportunities
offered the dramatist in the history of the modern world is going un
availed of.
I should hardly agree that the dramatist's art is one in which
GENIUS is rarely exhibited. It is true that there are a few names
which stand bo very high in dramatic glory that they put all other
claimants to greatness out of countenance. But, aside from the Greeks
and Shakespeare, there have been in all lands and ages dramatists the
like of whose genius, exhibited in any art, WOULD ENTITLE
THEM TO IMMORTALITY. . We may claim this for several, cer
tainly, of our English playwriters of earlier days. The Germans have
had their great dramatists in the past, and I have warm admiration
for Eauptmann and Sudermann today. But today has not given
another Goethe or Schiller.
THE FRENCH WOULD IN3I8T THAT RACINE, CORNEILLE AND
MOLIERE ARE AMONG THE WORLD'S GREATE8T MEN, AND THEY
WOULD BE RIGHT.
The Encroachments of
Executive Authority.
Br United States Senator JOSEPH B. FORAKER of Ohio.
I BELIEVE in our dual system of government, one state and tbe
other national ; one to deal with local affairs, the other with
those that are NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL. T.
believe that as the business of the government and the duties
of the government multiply it will become more and more strikingly
manifest that our fathers were wise in providing such a system and
that, instead of talking about the obliterations of 6tate lines, we should
now more than ever be careful to preserve to the states THEIR
PROPER RIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS, just as wo have always
been zealous to protect the federal government in the exercise of all
the powers delegated to it, either expressly or by implication.
I believe also that our fathers were wise when they created three
departments of government AND MADE TilEM SEPARATE,
independent and CO-ORDINATE and that the rights of each should
be jealously protected against infringement by either of the ejthers.
