The Oregonian inorantly re-
prints tao, lolluwm htatein.nt '
from the Telegram:
If all. The Astoeian says against
the Columbia -rirer"bar be true,
tbenAstoria might as well give up
her aspirations to become a sea
port. Portland, for her part, can
ship through Yaquina bay or Pu
get Sound.
This paper never says anything
"against" the Coliimbii bar. It
gives publicity to facts f nets that
exist and obtain, whether we spoko
of them or not facts that are
patent to all. It is not in any
spirit of controversy or objection
that we write of the bar; it L to
combat the ideas thit Portlaid
tries to convey, viz: tint the
bar is good enough as it is th it
all that is wanted is more tugs; that!
the assertions of Tue Astociax
relative to tho bar's condition are
not in accordance with the facts;
in a word that 710 vessel should be
induced to come to the Columbia
that can't go up to Portland.
That's where the shoes pinch on
the feet of Portlandites.
As for Astoria's "aspirations"
about being a seaport, it need but
be said that communities never
aspire to what they already possess
The .negative side of this propo
sition can bo taken up by our in
land neighbor if it feels "so dis-
poged."
But the rich part of this is the
statement that Portland "can bhip
through Yaquina bay, or Pujret
sound." Our Portland contem
porary bases its claim to being a
humorous journal upon just such
facetious statements. Vilhrd told
the Portlandites last Fall that they
could build warehouses on the
Sound, and now another disco; erer
announces himself. "In the name
to! the DroDhet Girs."
At 51 mnttwr of litrrarv merit.

One Way of Dolus It,
The present secretary of the
treasdry is not in favor of tho pol
icy of Uiing the surplus receipts
of the government for tho pay
ment of tho public 'lebt. lie
thinks that we have been pning
it off too fast, and that something
ought to be left to po&rerity. There
is a very large class of persons
who are nervous from tho fear
thai the debt will be paid tip in a
few years. On what basi, Jhey
argue, can we hae a national
banking system, if there be no
federal bonds to deposit as secur
ity for tho circulation? And then
this class of persons particularly
desire that it be remembered "a
national debt is a national bless
ing." Some great capitalists are
also disturbed, lest the debt be
paid off, and they be jjiven no op
portunity to buy bonds and have
no further trouble with their un
wieldy millions. Probably from
this class comes the heaviest op
position to tho immediate reduc- I
tion of the debt. The whole of
tho indebtedness of the United
States would be canceled in about
ten years if Congress does not
put any extraordinary burden
upon the country. The federal
taxation is heavy, but yet so gen
eral, so indefinite, so indirect as
not to be felt as a very severe
hardship by anyone. If the coun
try only paid what is actually
taken In at the revenue and cus
toms offices, it could be suffered
to stand as at present, but the in
ternal and infernal system of tar
iff imposes direct and grievous
burdens which are crushing to some
of oar best interests as a people.
If. some of that burden were re
moved the people might feel more
, inclined to pay interest on the
public debt for an indefinite
length of time, but that alterna
tive is not proposed. Tbs plan
wliicli now suras the ino-t proh-1
iiblp U to -.tiij) the reihiPtiim of
thc tlulit, iiuintain the ho.ivv t;ix
o i import, anil rvduce the tax on
whKkv. All tins i-, no doubt,
, viry MjnsibVf only it req urea o-
itnr.dintry suacity to si-e it. The
debt ni'i-t ho pi-rix-t ut.-d in
dor to en ible it-, holder-, to draw
intpn - it; tins t.irill oinnot ( re
duced, -because it would diminish
the profits of some, if not all of
the great monopoly manufacturing
interests. As money is coming
in faster than Congress can appro
priate it, there can be a reduotion
in tho revenue by cheapening the
prTce of whisky for the manufac
turer. In II. Lesseps's new paper an
interesting article appears, giving
the description of tho Sivanuah,
the first stoambo it that ever ctnssed
the Atlantic. It is just sixty-three
years, s iy this paper, since the
Sivanuah, a vessel of 330 tons,
sailed from the port after which
she was named, to Liverpool. The
essoin. is built by Francis Fichctt
at New York, in 1S18, and after
ward fitted with engines made at
Al.-rnstown, jscw Jersey, me
ci edit of crossing the ocean is due
to John Scarborough, who bought
the steamer just after she left the
stocks. It is stated that when the
tunel ship with a funnel armed
off Cape Clear, she was supposed
to be on fire, and a cutter was sent
from the naval station at Cork to
her relief. A rumor having ob
tained credence that sho was de
signed to rescue Napoleon fiom
St. Helen 1. a sharp watch was
kept upon her. The real object
was to sell her at a profit, and she
was offered to the Swedish and
Russian governments, but as nei
ther would buy her, she ouiv
more made the ocean passage to
Ne.v York, traded between that
port and Savannah, and was finally
wrecked on Long fsl.ind.
Throughout the western stites
the official guillotine has been put
in operation; several government
employes who had been guilty of
upholding Garfield having been
ma'de'the N ictims; Itjflouks'v now
as if eVery federal office' in 'the
United States was to be packed
with men who must implicitly
obey orders from Washington.
A most compact political machine
-ecms to be in process tif forma
tion. It may be for the uo-nin i
tion of Grant or of Aithur. But
the candidate thus nominated can
never bo elected. There is too
s'nng an antagonism against thu
kind of pnl'tics in the minds of
the people to petmit such tactics
to be f-upcessiul.
The Telegram siys that Astor'a
"asnirca" to be :i seaport. To-1
dav's bhipping list contains the
arrival of the Reporter at the port
of Astoria. This vessel .is lyiii;
in the stream here and drew
twenty-two and one-half feet of
uater when she came over the bar
yesterday morning. But, as Capt.
St irrett. s lid two weeks ago, '-tis
useless to argue with people that
don't know what they're talking
about."
Trie Standard, in speaking of
Republican papers in this state,
sis that they are "created by
special orders from their on tiers,
whose mission it is to build up
the man that gives them existence.
They have no political principle
to contend for but tho offices, and
their mission is one to create and
destroy." This is a grave accusa
tion, and, if so, is not at all credit
able to the good name of the com
monwealth. Logan, of Illinois', is the latest
addition to the list of probable
presidential candidates before the
national Republican convention
of '84. On the Democratic side
the last two unsuccessful competi
tors appear willing to try it again.
The Telegram niau talking to
himself, out loud in his own mind,
"How can I tell anything about
anything I don't know an thing
about.
Ha! I have it: I'll write about
ibo Columbia bar."
