J. F. HAIXORAN ." Editor.
Or Conrsc.
TnEEE is one point in connec
tion with D. P. Thompson's pres
ent visit to the East that doe3 not
seem to us in consonance with the
dignity of his alleged mission. It
is the statement that he intends
"looking around New York and
Philadelphia to see what two tugs
can be purchased for." Of course
Mr. Thompson nasa perfect right
to do that, and his. friends nave a
perfect right to suggest it, but it
doesn't look exactly politic to give
it such publicity as have the Stand
ard and Oregonian. A good many
people in Portland think that there
is water enough, on the bar now,
that all that is wanted is more
tugs; that is a question that we
will say nothing about at present;
but it is pretty generally believed
that Mr. Thompson has gone on to
"Washington to do what he can to
make plain the necessity for an
appropriation for improving the
Columbia river and the mouth of
the Columbia river. Should Mr.
Thompson, in appearing before
any committee, be asked if ho be
lieved that all that was needed was
more tugs and that there was
enough water on the bar if the tug
service wore only sufficient; the
fact that he was negotiating for
the purchase of tugs while advo
cating the necessity of bar im
provements would militate against
any answer he might make in the
negative. Of course this is on the
assumption that Mr. Thompson is
going' to trv to have the an
propriation which will undoubtedly
be made apply to the bar as well
as the lower Columbia; of course
Mr. Thompson would not try to
use his influence nor anv ono else's
to have the appropriation made
for the channel alone and ignore
the greatest need, the improve
. ment of the entrance; ol course
Mr. Thompson means "to do what
is right" in the matter, but yet it
will be a little awkward even for
Mr. Thompson, if it is noised
around in the room of the Com
mittee on Commerce that the ad
iMte sent on by Portland to
advance all efiuA frr the improve
ment of the Columbia river and
the bar was also acting as ad
vance agent of a company who
intend to purchase tugs for towing
over said bar. It might seem a
trifle inconsistent and tend to de
feat the broad and lofty bchcnie
intended. The crushing logic that
the Oregonian may see fit to use
iu reply that Portland furnished
. the coin, and, therefore, if Portland
is satisfied all right minded people
should be, will not be wholly satis
factory to others who have an
interest in the irons in the fire and
don't want to see them burned.
Av exchange thinks that the
printer's trade is not nearly so
good as some others; probably, but
comparatively few persons now
learn that trade in more than out
of its departments. If one pernoi)
had to learn all -there is in it, as in
the days of the earlier members of
the craft, it would be tho most
difficult of all trades, and require
a higher order of ability than auy
other mechanical pursuit. To some
extent the principle applies in all
occupations. There is probably
no structure more complicated,
and requiring a higher degree of
mechanical skill in its construction
than an-iron steamship. But near
ly all the work is done by -unskilled
laborers. There are hundreds ot
different operations, and to learn
either one of them requires but
little time; by combining them all
the finished result is obtained.

Recently on the trial of a man
for burglary in a northern Califor
nia county, the judge charged the
jury that the possession of stolen
property was a strong circum
stance tending to show guilt. The
man was convicted, and on appeal
gets a new trial by the State Su
preme Court, on the sustained
demur that the possession cf stolen
property is a circumstance only,
the jury to be sole determining
power whether it be strong or
weak.- The judge's placing of tho
word'strong"in his charge gives
the culprit another chance. There
would be fewer reversals and less
defeat of justice if charges were
curtailed or omitted, and jurors
permitted to pass upon points that
by reason of their supposed in
telligence they are cognizant of.

Speaking of Japanese etiquette,
a traveler from Japan says, that
though the prescriptions, of Ja
panese etiquette aie many, and
even onerous at times, it is not in
.these formalities that tho much-talked-of
Japanese courtesy essen
tially consists, but in the modest
self-restraint of demeanor, the
promptness to oblige, the nnslccp
ins'carp to avoid whatever might
by any,possibility annoy or offend
and the peculiar gentleness of tone
and manner which render the
Japanese, whatever his rank or
position may be, so truly a model
"gentlo" man in the proper and
authentic sonse of the word.
The ex-premier of Canada, Sir
John McDonald, made :i speech
recently, in which he said that in
dependence for that country was
a farce, and that it must either re
main a part of the British system
or of the American system. He
emphasized this declaration by a
reference to the relation which
Belgium and Holland sustain to
the European systm, and that of
Mexico to tho American system.
There is little doubt that this con
clusion is the obvious and intelli
gent one. There is no reason
why, with all the advantages of
self-government, Canada should
desire to sever her connection
with tho British Government, and
equally there is no reason either
in the United States or Canada
why the latter should be annexed
to the former. .The domain of
this country is now quite as ex
tensive as is consistent with safety;
neither is there that common
pride in their history and surround
ings which will serve to unite the
two countries in bonds of sympa
thy which are necessary, if tbey
are to become one. Each has a
good work to do in the solution of
problems common to both, to
which different keys may be ap
plied, and may well be permitted
to continue the task.
In the course of Supt. Powell's
remarks last Friday evening, we
were glad to learn that Oregon
stands high on the list of states
rated for tho minimum of illiter
acy, no stated tnat tne last com
pilation of educational statistics
to hand showed that but three and
eight hundredths per cent of Ore
gon's population were unable to
read or write. The state standing
first on the list is Iowa, which has
but one and 'three quarters per
cent of her inhabitants devoid of
the rudiments of education. In
this matter Oregon ranks New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Twenty years ago India was
unable to furnish coal enough to
supply a single railway line. Last
year that country mined 500.000
tons, and, it is shown, has a coal
area of 3,000 square miles.
Zealous reformers in Indiana
have twice with dynamite blown
up a saloon that was obnoxious to
them; a very' demolishing argu-jnent.

inn Sux of lSuS was" a newspaper of c. new
kind. It discarded many of the. forms, and
a multitude- of the superfluous words and
phrases of ancient journalism. It under
took to report in a fresh, succinct, uncon
ventional way all the news of the world,
omitting no event ot human interest, and
commenting upon affairs with the fearless
ness of alKolute Independence. The suc
cess ot this experiment was the success of
Tiir. Suw. It effected a permanent change
in the stjlo of Americau newspapers.
Every important journal established in this
