COSTLY MISERLINESS.
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

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

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-

JAPANESE ON TRIAL."
.
Russian Authorities Are 'Alleged to
Treat Prisoners Cruelly.
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept., 5.-News
was brought by the Empress of India
that the trial of the Japanese sealing
schooner Mye Maru, for alleged
poaching at the Commandersoki is
lands was going on at Vladivostock
when the steamer left Japan. The
crew being released on bail, mean
while Captain Nomura, of the sealer,
testified that he was 12 miles from
land when seized, but the court point
ed out that the limit was thirty miles.
Captain Nomura instanced the Bering
Sea regulations, stating that America
permitted sealers to go within three
miles of the rookeries and he conclud
ed the same regulations applied. The
Japanese allege inhuman treatment
by the Russian guards. Two men
who became ill were refused medicine,
one died and his body was loaded I
with the sick men in the same wagon

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." For sale by Frank Hart
