Over in Gray's Harbor there laid, On an exposed spit, something over a half milion dollars worth of fine property of a maritime sort, there by reason, primarily, of its owners' mi serliness; a splendid freighting steam ship and a lumber cargo, hard and fast on the beach, because her master, in deference to the sharp orders for a skeleton expense account, refused to take a bar pilot on his way out to sea, and though he had on board at the time a Puget Sound pilot to steer him inland to Tacoma when he made Cape Flattery, a concession to the sheer expediency of having pilots, that might have been well used with reference to the shallower channels of Gray's Harbor. Niggardliness is always costly; not alone in mere dollars, but in commer cial standing; in the quality of service rendered; in the business standing that begets contempt and abated re turns of trade and traffic. It is a poor policy and cheapens itself as much, or more, than what it comes in con tact with out in the world. For the sake of a beggarly $150, the fine steamship Mathilda, with nearly 4,000,000 feet of lumber on board, faced a salvage account of $10,000, and perhaps the graver des tiny of dissolution and loss; and the owners alone to blame for the predi cament and its least, and worst consequences. pointment of such a man and to hold the appointing power responsible for any blunder, or worse, committed in the course of selection. Astoria needs a real chief, not a poseur, nor a "good fellow", nor a man to be trained to the post and its standards. It wants, a thief-taker, a man-catcher; one who knows what, when, and how to do the plain duties of the office; not a tyrant, nor a dawdler, or compromiser, or "slow coach"; it has had all of these and knows what they are worth, to their respective limits. It is no great of fice, with fateful and pregnant de mands upon it; it is a place where the law, and obedience to the law, are the first demands, and the constant ex ercise of simple common sense th only other prequisite; an easy post for the real, right man. He can be found, alright I LABOR LEGISLATION. TEN DRINKS, TEN YEARS. For the sake of a paltry dozen drinks of whiskey; enough to put him on the wrong side of his parole agree ment with the State of Oregon and subject him to the Jimit of a ten year sentence at hard labor in the peniten tiary, a certain man in this city fore goes the chance of freedom, pardon and restoration to citizenship, and goes back to the grim fate the law has provided for him. This, after three warnings which a friendly law prescribes. Verily it takes "all manner of men ! such a nature that it will not lead to Various injunction bills were con sidered in the committee during both sessions, of the Fifty-Ninth and first session of the Sixtieth Congresses. During the first session of the Fifty- ninth Congress several bills were be fore the judiciary committee and hear ings were accorded and considered It was found, however, that the labor interests of the country could not agree upon any one bill, and that dif ferent labor leaders were opposed to one or the other bills under consider ation. Again during the first session of the Sixtieth Congress the judiciary com mittee of the House gave more time and attention to the various bills pre sented, but it was found that no bill could be introduced that would be saticfactory to all the labor interests, and no bill upon which all members of Congress could agree. This so called anti-injunction legislation is by no means a partisan matter, and so far neither Democrats nor Repub licans have been able to agree among j themselves to a bill that would seem to satisfy all concerned. There is no doubt, however, that in the near fu ture some bill will be enacted into law, and when it is, it will be found that it will provide protection for not only labor and capital, but for th public as well. First, it must be con stitutional, and then it must be of Effort to Reward the Man Who Train the American Athletes. NW YORK, Sept., S.-The Ameri can committee of the Olympic gam has started a subscription list to realize funds to properly honor Mike Murphy the famous trainer who handled the team in the London sta Inim. James E. Sullivan, secretary of ll commission has sent out the foil w insr letter: "While giving the fullest credit to the atheletes, who represent d the United States in the recent Olympic games there is one person whose services were practicality, in valuable and without whose interest and advice it is donbtful if the! men would have performed so splendidly as events proved. He ,1s Traine Murphy, who devoted his best cner gies, in the face of numerous difficul tics, to have the' team in shape. "Mr. Murphy cheerfully gave up hi time and devoted his energies for the athletes and how well he performed his duty is a matter of record. Now let us not be so unpatriotic at to for get his good work. Instead, let those who recognize the man's true worth come forward and assist those who are anxious to make Murphy a suit able present. "It has been proposed that we ask one thousand citizens who are inter ested in track and field work to con tribute $5 each, this fund to be pre ented to Mr. Murphy as a token of esteem and as a mark of recognition of his valuable services." CHINESE KILL FRENCH. VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 5.-News was received by the Empress of India from South China of the ambush of 100 French troops, Tirrailleners and Legionnaires, in a valley near Lang Vao on the Tonkin border. Captain Fleury, leader of the force and Lieut enant Delattre were shot down soon after the fight opened. Between 500 and 600 Chinese had a position on low hills at each side of a gulley through which the French troops en tered the village. The French cap tured the village twice, it being re taicen oy tne Chinese, "shots were exchanged during the greater part of the fight at from 30 to 50 metres When Captain Fleury and Lieutenant Delattre who went to assist this lead er, were shot, the Chinese threw themselves upon the bodies not yet dead and decapitated them, carrying away the heads, amid cheers. to make a world." The strong, the weak, the reckless, the dull, the un caring, all have their . part to play, their example to set, and their end to work out; but who shall say the world is not better today? Happily for all men, the vast majority of people are not weak nor vicious, but in the main strong and alert and anxious for the disorder and riot, but will conserve the best interests of the people at large, and not be drawn in the inter est of either capital or labor, but for the good and protection of all. In looking over our progres at Pa nama Uncle Sam is convinced that he can tackle the improvement of the good, the decent, and the finer attri- waterways and make another record butes, circumstances and conditions of life and social intercourse; this fact is what lends emphasis to the laches this poor fellow has made, and which accounts for a public interest in his fate that is greater even than his own concern about it. It is pitiable, of course but, thanks be, not universal. Apropos of this, there is to be a world-wide convention, sponsored by this nation, for the further treatment of the opium habit and traffic, to the end that it shall be abated to the very minimum. This is one of the oldest schemes of kindly human endeavor on the records of human society; one that has been sharply retarded and lessened through the years; but which will never be wrought out until, like diamonds, the drug is put beyond the reach of the poof and weak of our fellows. There is no impediment like the prohibitive price and the rarity of the article. ahead of expectations. Mr. Bryan's "growth of conserva tism" is a subject he carefully avoids in Nebraska. He is fused in that state with the Populists, and on platform that meets their views. In some of the states the vote is so small that if their people rule they fo it chiefly by proxy. These states, in every instance, are considered sure for Mr. Bryan. But he never reminds them that their people fail to rule. Col. Bryan is determined to repeat his old plan of touring the country on a speaking expedition. That voice of the colonel's is a fatal gift. TO MATCH THE TITLE. In the matter of the police chief- tancy of this city, the Morning As torian desires to say that it has no candidate; no particular choice of men or partisans; but it has a very fixed notion of the manner of man and service the people want in this relation, and unhesitatingly avows its purpose to strive for the ap- How many exploded paramount is sues can a politician carry and still survive as a party leader?

A Traveling Man's Experience. "I must tell you my experience on an east bound O. R. & N. R. R. train from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore." writes Sam A. Garber, a well known traveling man. "I was in the smok ing department with some other trav eling men when ope of them went out into the coach and came back and said, There is a woman sick unto death in the car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straight en them, and with a death-like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suitcase and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the water-tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in 20 minutes I gave er another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I as to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was all right, and I re ceived the thanks pt every passenger in the'ear."
