TAKING ITS OWN MEDICINE.
Multnnmihans. otherwise. the
good people of Portland, along with
the bad, are gagging a bit over the
alleged "joker" found in the general
port bill introduced by Bean, of Lake
county; and are freely charging the
Clatsop delegation with having in
spired the smooth little "knock-out-
drop." In order the emphasize their
own peculiar innocence in the prem
ises and convey, the impression that
they never even suspected sich a
thing in the high and honorable
course of law-making at Salem, they
got Campbell of Clackamas to make
the awful discovery and announce it
This he has done cleverly enough, and
there is uproar galore in the south
wing of the capitol
Portland objects to being done out
of her sheer and unquestioned con
trol of the Columbia river, and of the
Willamette, and will fight the bill
to extinction rather than permit the
shadow of a chance being given to
any other port on the rivers (or the
coast, either, for the matter at that)
It is the same old fight for supremacy
. in a field where a half hundred
towns may one day compete with her
for the direct commerce of the two
gTeat valleys. God only knows what
she will do when the north shore
towns and cities rise up and assert
themselves along the Columbia, for
neither the jurisdictional right, nor
At all events she ia going to hog
everything in Oregon, and the new
port bill is doomed. We are guiltless
of having had a thing to do with the
measure down here; even our com
missioner, Hon. Herman Wise, had
nothing to do with the work of
Messrs. Flanders and Clark and never
attended a meeting of the commis
sion appointed to confer on the gen
eral up-lift of the Oregon ports and
for the preparation of legislative mat
ter in that relation. But he did ap
prove the bill in question which was
sent him by his colleagues.
We have established our own port
by initiative and !t is well founded
and quite invulnerable to any attack
from Portland; and we shall employ
it. not in derogation and denial of
Porltand, but as a shield against her
encroachment; and right here we de
sire to congratulate the voters of
Astoria on the wisdom' they evinced
when they set up the Port of Astoria
at their last election; they have put
the port in invincible shape and are
free from any complications that may
arise in this ugly emergency at Salem;
and this fact exculpates our delega
tion from all suspicion of interest in
the injection of the cruel little "joker.
We hope the bill will pass, joker
and all; it will be a lesson that, in
days to come, will induce Portland
to make friends of her sister-cities
rather than, gradually, to divest her
self of all honest and friendly con
cern throughout the civic realm of
Oregon.

turmoil of a mis-directed ' Eastern
winter. The rain we have with us
still, and it is one of the best, health
iest, most practicable exterminators
of all the rest of the climatic imposi
tions that we know of. and never fails
us. Astoria is alright and getting
better fast!

we are of the opinion that she will

PROPRIETRESS
for the Oregon Coast Railway is the
commanding element of public con
cern here; that this enterprise, if
judiciously handle4 "will do more to
wake people and things up around
this city an county than anything in
prospect In other words, it is the
biggest and best proposition now
before our people and has more of
definite promise than anything touch
ed by the Chamber of Commerce in
the past two years. We hope the
route will be cleared very shortly and
the last deed in its behalf filed with
out further delay. This will bring the
matter squarely to the financial issue;
and if there is failure there (which we
have not the slightest ground for
believing), we may go boldly into
other moneytary camps with a sound
and practicable proposition and seek
the bolstering rarely denied such it-
pendable overtures. It ts bound to
win out on its own logical merit, and
no man should stand in its way, and
we do not believe any man in Clat
sop will do this.
IN THE STORM CENTER,
Astoria is on the westerly marge of
the storm-center set op by the ele
ments in the Northwest this winter.
We are getting our full share of the
ice and snow and wind, and natural
ly, of the rainfall. Luckily, we are at
a point where water congestion is
impossible; we have no fear of de
vastating floods here, because of the
spread of things down this way and
the near resort of the boundless sea
which generously absorbs accesses of
all kinds and leaves us free, safe and
grateful.
We do not disparage the rain; that
s one of our elemental perquisites
and we have no desire to see it
abridged nor diverted. We need it
all; it goes to make our exquisite
summers and those creations arc
among our proudest boasts and
standard joys; without them we
should be lost, as would tens of thou
sands of tourists and pleasure-seekers
each year. Even Portland has no
recourse but to admit the superlative
beauty and perfect comfort of the
Astoria summer.
Therefore, for the nonce, we are
willing to put up with the rare adver
sities of frozen and busted water
pipes; of slushy streets and slippery
hill sidewalks; of drifted snow banks

NEW YORK. Jan. 22 -That the
public kissing of popular heroes
and the showering of attention on
freak musicians, of which this coun
try has had numerous recent exam
pies, is a form of hysteria and a re
vival of Tarantism, the strange con
tagious disorder that spread over
southern Europe during the four
tcenth century, is suggested by the
February number of Appletou's
magaaine in an article by Dr Pierce
Bailey, an eminent authority on
nervous diseases. It is pointed out
that Tarantism was characterized
by dancing, jumping and throwing
about of the arms. Today it would
be recognised as hysteria, the dis
order by which the higher part of
consciousness loses control and be
comes more or less subordinate to
action. In the days when the my
tenous disease to which the name
Tarantism was applied spread con
sternation through Europe, the
whole population 06 villages,
schools and convents often was af
fected and the trouble was attribut
ed to all sorts of occult causes, to
wihehcraft, and to the direct influ
ence ol the Devil.
Modern hysteria, however, mani
fests itself even more generally in
mental than in physical actions. It
accounts for innumerable fads and
queer cults and the Appleton article
points out that the sending of flow
ers and letters of sympathy to brut
al murderers by women ordinarily
refined, are manifestations of the
same tendency to hysteria. Occas
ionally, in tha present day, a hyster
ical wave sweeps over a whole com
munity, just as it did in the four
teenth century epidemic of TaranS
ism, as when practically the whole
population of London went wild
over the relief of the small garrison
at Mafeking in South Africa, dur
ing the Boer Mar, and indulged in
riotous demonstrations that des
troyed hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of property and brou
ght into use a new word "mafe
king," to describe such outbursts.
leads to a hysterical state of mind
is pointed out as explaining many
of the reform fads of the moment
Many of these depend upon an ex
aggeated and misdirected emotional
ism as in the suffragette outbreaks
in London and the agitation in this
country against vivisection of ani
mals. These agitators seek to prevent
the largely imaginary sufferings of
dumb animals used in scientific in
vestigations to determine the cause
and cure of diseases in spite of the
fact that such experiments are di
rected to the relief of more general
and widespread suffering among
human beings. An examination of
the mental attributes displayed by
movement which was made recent
ly by a well-known scientist show
ed that these tallied almost exactly
with the- recognized- symptoms of
hysteria.
