Just So.
Ik an article referring to tho ac
tion of the- lato Territorial Legisla
ture in repealing the pilot law, the
Puget Sound Argus says: "The
business of piloting fluctuates
greatly; under a pilot law, the
pilots are required to be on the
pilot grounds constantly, to be
ready for duty when needed; so
that a vessel corning in when she
is the only arrival in a month is
just as sure of getting a pilot as
though she came during the busy
season; in the absence of pilot
regulations, 'pilots will ply their
vocation only when it is profitable,
and in dull times, i.c., when ves
sels are not often coming, they
will desert the pilot grounds for
more lucrative fields of employ
ment, leaving vessels to shift for
themselves. The pilot law pro
vides and enforces uniform fees,
while its absence leaves pilots free
to fleece luckless victims "for all
they are worth," by a kind of per
missive system of plunder. Under
no pilot law, a foreign vessel
comes to Puget Sound for a cargo
of lumber; she belongs to the class
that ought above all others to be
protected and encouraged to bring
foreign gold to exchange for our
production; it maybe that her cap
tain has never sailed to this part
of the world before, and hence is
ignorant of our prevailing winds,
currents, etc., and requires a com
petent pilot to take charge of his
vessel before entering the straits;
in view of all this, she is likely to
find no pilot waiting, and may be
compelled either to undergo vexa
tious and expensive delay waiting
for a pilot, or venture in and risk
being wrecked through ignorant
handling; on the other hand, if she
finds a pilot, he may take advan
tage of the situation and demand
an exorbitant fee for his services,
which the captain feels he must
pay in order to secure safety."
'Tis probable that the next Wash
ington Legislature will see that
this is so, and pass a law regu
lating and controlling the matter.
Change of Heart.
A "Wasiiixgiox dispatch of the
4li says: Great surprise was felt
here to-day among politicians by
the publication of an interview in
New York with General Grant, in
which ho announces belief that
Fitz John Porter has been greatly
abused and now thinks his original
sentiment of dismissal from the
army a flagrant bit of injustice.
General Logan, chairman of the
senate committee on military
affairs, was asked concerning this
change of sentiment on the part of
Grant. He said he had nothinrr
particular to say upon the subject
beyond the fact that he was sur
prised. He had heard General
Grant "express himself very
strongly upon this subject against
Porter. He knew of no new evi
dence in case, as alleged in a
newspaper publication. All
-evidence upon which Grant based
"jJina change of opinion was before
" him during the eight years he was
president, and- Logan does not
pretend to understand now how
"Grant can express the opinion as
cribecTto bim. Politicians familiar
with this long struggle of Fitz
John Porter for reinstatement find
a ready explanation of Grant's
sudden change of opinion. Porter
has been knockingat the doors of
Congress for years without stirring
any attention. The refusal to
listen to him came largely through
the influence of Grant himself.
Of his character, .Grant said here a
year.ago at the dinner table, that
he had gone ovor the evidence in
Porter's ease a, number of times,
and the only error in the case
as he understood it, was that
Porter, was not shot instead of dismissed-
from the service. Grant
when he was "president, steadily
refused to even consider Porter's
case, and his-sudden shift eomes
from a new combination in Por-
ter's interest. The reinstatement
of Fitz John Porter, in the senate,
at least, has become a democratic
measure. Grant himself is more
anxious than he has been made to
appear. The democrats and Mr.
Porter have learned of his anxiety
and have formed a combination.
Upon that basis it is understood
that they have gone to Grant and
said to him, "if you will help us
on the Porter matter we will vote
to place you on the retired list,"'
and so Grant's change of heart is
understood.
"When- in 187G the Presidential
complications of that year were
under discussion, and Oregon and
Louisiana seemed doubtful, every
body admitted that the first busi
ness of Congress should be tlie
modification- of the laws so that
such danger should not arise in the
future. But nothinir definite has
ever been done; there has been a
rrrA ilo1 rT nlmon Hnnlo mnt mil
guuu ...... .. ........ w.... .........,
but no more. Now comes an
illustration of another public dan
ger in the vague and ambiguous
wording of our highest organic law
in relation to the Presidential suc
cession. The provision that the
Vice President shall aot in case of
the disability of the President, is
susceptible of three interpreta
tions, and to prevent possible dan
ger and probable complication, it
would be wise in Congress to so
legislate that a clear definition and
understanding may be had. The
present lull looks a good deal like
the case of the Arkansas man who
wouldn't fix his roof.
The assertion of a robust, self
respecting, self-protecting Ameri
can policy not only implies, but
necessitates the power -to back it
up. The Congress and the Presi
dent, therefore, being in accord as
to the policy, it is not to be sup
posed that there will be any drsa
greement between the two, or any
serious question at either wing of
the capital as to the means of its
enforcement.
Those whose shibboleth is any
thing but what is," whose creed is
self and whose doctrines are des
tructive in their direction claim
that Arthur is but President "by
proxy," and that Grant is really
the man who dictates and controls
official patronage. Their dreams
are haunted by the specter of
"The Third Term," and their im
aginations but paint their fears.
MISCELLANEOUS.
DE3 STJ3NT.
NEW YORK, 1SS2.
T111: Sun forl8S2 will make its fifteenth
animal revolution under the present man
agement, shining, as always, for all, big and
little, mean and gracious, contented and un
happy, ltepublican and Democratic, de
prated and Urinous. Intelligent and olrtiise.
The Sun's light is for mankind and woman
kind of every sort ; but its general warmth
Is for the good, while It pours hot discomfort
on the blistering backs of the persiMontly
wicked.
The sun of lSGs was a newspaper of s new
kind. It discarded many of flic forms, and
a multitude of the superfluous words and
phrases of ancient journalism. It under
took to report in it fresh, succinct, uncon
ventional way all the. news of the world,
omitting no cv ent of human Interest, and
commenting upon affairs with the fearless
ness, of absolute Independence. The suc
cess of this experiment was the success of
The Sujc. It effected a permanent change
in the stjle of American newspapers.
Eerv Important journal established in tills
country in the dozen years past has been
modelled after The Sux. Every important
journal already existing has been modilled
ana uetiercu uy me iorce 01 hie sun's
example.
The Sun of 1882 will bo the same outspok
en, truthtelling, and interesting newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall make
it better than ever before.
AS'e shall print all the news, putting it into
readable shape, and measuring its import
ance, not by the traditional yardstick but
by its real Interest to the people. Distance
from Printing House Square Is not the first
consideration with The Sun. Whcneter
anything happens worth reporting we get
the particulars, whether it happens 111 Brook
lyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions ; and
are accustomed to express them in language
that can bo understood. We say what we
think about men and events. That habit is
the only secret of TnE Sun's political course.
Tun Wkewxy Sun gathers Into eight
pages the best matter of the seven dally Is
sues. An Agricultural Department of un
equalled merit, full market reports, and .1
liberal iiroportion of literary, scientific, and
domestic intelligence complete The Week
ix Sun, and make It the best newspaper for
tho farmer's household that was overprinted.
Who does not know and read and like
The Sunday Sun, each number of which
is a Golcondaof interesting literature, with
the best poetry of the day, prose, every line
worth reading, news, humor matter enough
to fill a good-sized book, and infinitely more
varied and entertaining than any book, big
or little?
If our idea of what a newspaper should be
pleases you. send for The Sun.
Our terms are as follows :
For the daily Sun. a four-page sheet of
twenty-eight columns, the price by mail,
post paid. Is 5S cents a month, or sjn 50 a
year; or, including the Sunday paper, an
eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the
price is OS cents per month, or ijtj ;o a year,
postage paid.
The Sundav edition of The Sun is also
furnished separately at $1 SO a year post
age paid.
xha price of the Weekly Sun, eight
pages, fifty-six columns, is Si a year, post
age paid. For clubs of ten sending 810 we
will send an extra copy free.
