VIA ASTORIA! The day is not far distant when most people, and the vast bulk of marketable merchandise, will come and go via As toria, not only from home sources to continental destinations, but to and from the .farthest ends of the commercial world. She is already the seaboard terminus of one trans-continental rail way and the gate-port of one trans Pacific steamship line, and when the great City 0f Portland shall come to her senses nnd tio ber se-comraeree from this perfect harbor, this port will stand without a rival on the western coast. Among the liyical developments inher ent in the northwestern situation, this consummation stands conspicuous and irrefutable and simply awaits the belat ed conception of the people mot nearly affected by tha program. The commercial marvel of the hour ig Portland's dogged blindness to the immense leverage lying at her hand in this proposition; an obtuseness measure, able and proveable only by the incal culable access she must take on once she grasps the opportunity and applies her enormous wealth and prestige to its expansion. She does not need the ships at her own docks to command the maritime situation on this upper coast. It is well within her province to take supreme, permanent control of this vast trade, dominating it from this place, holding the machinery within her own municipal lines, and using this as depot and entre pot. Xon does it follow that the Co lumbia should be abandoned between Portland and Astoria in such an event. Light draft vessels would steadily ply the river for minor cargoes coastwise from the metropolis, but the. great ships and steamers could be held at the port of instant despatch and meet their cargoes within ten short miles of the ocean, in every way expediting the traffic and minimizing the cost of The plans of James J. Hill are tha problems of ther Jjour, as to his real use of the mouth of the Columbia, in, the ear future, but It Is not beyond the Portland influence to align the interests of the city and state with those plana, if die will but go about & ax panBiom'tt M. Hill famou for tha readiness with which he meet aad ab sorbs the practical and clever whereso ever it bails ,from and; Portland is rich enough and strong enough, commercially to engage the keenest attention of this builder of empires and join him heart ily and honestly in the launching of a new commercial domain, with Portland as its capital and Astoria as its port-in-chief, for all time to come. VIA ASTORIA is the slogan here; and we care not who shall direct the world's traffic in and out our doors, so long as it comes and goes this way; so long as our channels and dock are utilized as nature and common-sense dictate; we will lose nothing by Port land's supremacy in the financing of the great project to hold the commerce of the northwest on Oregon rails and In Oregon channels; Astoria will take and make her own growth from the impetus Inherent in the sole advantage of being the gate through which shall pass, both ways, the stupendous traffic of the fu ture, with the Orient, o- THE CONVENTION PRINCIPLE.

The unquestioned right to public assemblage and a press as free as air make us the envied of all peoples and we should think appreciably of the blessing once in a while. , ' , - ' - , 0 ' THAT MARINE PARALLELOGRAM. The other morning the Astorian ven tured a suggestion to munieiparfce the territory covered by this city and the suburban . townsite of Warren ton, Hammond and Flavel, mak ing a parallelogram five miles deep by ten miles long, the same to be, or become, the marine metrowlis of the upper coast. There has been much friendly comment on the plan-and some objection to it, ail of which, for and against, we should like to see in cold type, in order that the public pulse may be determined with a nicety that shall have no doubts as to the feasibility of the proposition which means 80 much to all the districts mentioned. We shall be glad to hear from any o; the inter ested citizens in this important relation and will gladly publish all matter that may be submitted. The only way to evoke public opinion is to agitate the issues amenable to its weight and decision. How to Choose and Use a Revolver. ''It is not likely that, under the ordi nary circumstances of life, a deadly weapon will ever be seriously needed by the ordinary man, but ocassionally such need does arise, and then it is grave and immediate." This statement leads a very excellent article on the ue of the revolver, from the pen of Kmmett Campbell Hall in the July Technical World Magazine. "That thin fact is recognized by the public," says the writer "is indicated by the annual sale of hundreds of thousands of revolvers not to persons who intend to carry 'or use them as weapons of offense, but to law-abiding citizens who desire them for defensive purposes to protect them selves and their property. "Despite all that may be said to the contrary, the revolver ia a most valu able adjunct to civilization, and, in proper hands, can do more than any other single agent to preserve the law and order pf a community. That the general practice of aarrying cRicealed weapons aXonot La tolerated is another incontestable, aeeertionand, as Jar as poarible, TevcJrers should be, kept out of the bands of irresponsible , persons. , Polloa regulations, . however,, generally cover these points and it, is not ibeiobii ject of this, article to discuss, any ethical, question, but simply to offer some sug gestions which may aid a citizen in choosing and properly using a revolver, if he desires to own one. There is a remarkable general lack of knowledge upon the subject." How to choose and use a revolver properly is discussed at length with many a wise pointer for the uninitiated. c A White Man With a Negro Woman. In the June American Magazine Ray Stannard TJaker tells more stories of race difficulties in the South. He wetit to the police court In Atlanta and sat on the bench with the judge so that he might look into the faces of the prisoner and hear all that was said. Here is one of Mr. Baker's police court stories i ' . , "An old white man, much agitated and very pale, was brought before the judge. With him came a much younger, comely-appearina woman. Both were the woman looked up with suck an ex pression, tearless and tragic, as I hope t shall not have to see again. "What's 'the charge V ked the judg. "Adultery, said the ofilcer. the woman looked upj neither aaid a not look up. "The judge glanced from one to the other ia surprise. "Why don't you get married Y h asked. '"The woman," said the officer, 'is a nigger.' ( . ".She was as white as I am, probably an octoroon; I could not have dis tinguished her from a white persons, and she deceived even the experienced ey of th judge. 'Is that sot' asked the judge, The man continued to hang his head, the woman looked up; either aaid a word. If then came out that they had lived together aa man and , wife for many yean, and that they bad children nearly grown. , Some neighbors had com plained and the man and woman were arrested, "'Is this all truet asked tha judge. "Neither said a word. "You can't marry under tha Georgia Law,' said the judge; TU have to bind you over for trial in the county court.' "They were led back to the prisoners' rooms. A few- minutes later the bailiff came out quickly and said to the judge: "'The old man hat fallen in a faint' "Not long afterward they half led, half carried him out across the court roont .
