Astoria should hsive two or three large saw mills owned by her own citizens to saw lumber for export. The three mills now saw ing here have all they can do to saw for the local trade and make boxes. Astoria, beinjr situated at the mouth of the river, offers unusual inducements for this busi ness. The logs are of as good a quality as found on Puget Sound, and are to be had in great abund ance. The cost of towing logs to the mill is less than to points above Astoria. The cost of ship ping lumber to airy of the foreign ports will be less from Astoria than from any points above Asto ria. Besides these advantages there will be another verT great advantage over any other point farther inland. A vessel of the largest size can load with lumber at Astoria to her fullest capacity without being required to lighter any part of her cargo. The peo ple of Seattle and New Tacoma have shown commendable enter prise in building up their saw mills to add to their wealth and profit. It will be well for Asto rians to follow their example. One or two of our canneries would furnish excellent site and oppor tunity for the enterprise. A Statesman's Views. HoiiATJO Seymour, the political Nestor of the empire state, who was defeated for the Presidency fifteen years ago, is a man whose views are always entitled to re spectful consideration. He rises from the province of petty politi cal tricks to the higher plane of statesmanship. In a recent in terviewjspeaking of leading public questions he said: "Many aspects of the tariff are now being considered as they were, not formerly, and there is a growing interest with regard to the question in the minds of our farmers and producers, and also with the great carrying interest. As transportation is now mainly upon tne railroads, tne cost oi carrying must be influenced by the cost of building such roads. The tariff on iron is very high, and, to paT for iron and the duty on it the capital of a hundred compa nies, on which dividends are now paid, must be enlarged. Here again the increased cost of cloth ing to laborers must be added to their wages. If all the items of expense of building a railroad growing out of duties are consid ered, they will be found to amount to a large sum. This Is added to their charges, and the increase mainly falls upon our farmers and tends to lessen exportations. Thus it may be that the carrying inter ests may take alarm. "Wo have seen that both France and German' have shown jtiw inclination to shut out the products of our country. If Gladstone's admistratibn should be overthrown and the Tory party should come into power in Great Britain it will probably impose tariffs upon our grains and other kinds of food ex port, for the landholders of Britain are severely pressed by our com petition. Those who oppose free trade in Britain are aided lv the speeches and arguments of indis creet high tariff men in this coun try. All classes now stud' the prospects of the export of our pro ducts in making up their opinions as to the business prosperity of our country. If the polic' of our country aims at cutting off all im ports, it will end in the destruc tion of our export trade. I think this will be the principal subject of discussion in the near future. In the presidential campaign next year I think it will be a subject which will most occupT the pub lic mind, without regard to part' platforms. I think that the true policy is in adhering to a revenue tariff. I am friendly to the man ufacturing interests. I think the great danger to their success grows out of the extreme views of men claiming to be their cham pions. If it is true that sound policy demands a protective tariff here, then it is true it is de manded by the interests of all other countries. The discussion of this topic will be of good use in leading men from the minor sub jects of partisanship, and will build up a class of political leaders who will not merely seek the spoils of office. Men do notmakediscus- sions discussions make men, as was the case in the days of "Web ster, Clay, Calhoun, Yan Buren and Wright. I conclude that Beck, of Kentucky is a gentle men who may not be obscure in the discussion of these questions. TheEepublican part is now favor able to a protective tariff, while 1 think a majority of the Democrat ic party prefer a revenue tariff. I do not think all the members of either party arc entirely in accord en these questions, but I think it "will be a prominent question in the next presidential election, be cause the high tariff men will force the fight, and while I do not, of course, know the result of the next election, if the views I hold are correct, they will govern the end." Indisputable Facts. It would be cheaper in the long run for Portland to pension the hungry ghouls who want Lap peus's place and let the matter drop. Statesman. There is a vast empire open yet for settlement from The Dalles to the Rocky Mountains, and one can see by occasional visits to that section how rapid this is being populated and the visible improve ments made in the various towns. The empire of the northwest is destined to become the granary of the world. Standard- Natural locations, choice sites, outside help, fine surrounding country, etc., are not alone sufli cient to build up cities, nor are they to be compared with enthu siasm, enterprise, intelligent aim and determined effort on the part of populations located at points in nowise comparable. Posl Intelligenctr. Yesterday a star route trial juror, Geo. B. Sheriff, was ill, and as a consequence there was no session of this interminable event in the already long history of American jurisdiction. Happy sickness, joyful event, as it re lieved 50,000,000 of people from reading that sterotyped line "At the morning session of the star route trial," etc. News. The telegraphic service of the northwest is inadequate misera bly inadequate. It is impossible to get news service performed ex peditiously, to the amount re quired, and commercial business is often delayed simply because the company has not wires to carry it. For the great increase of business which the northwest affords the company has provid no proper fa cilities. If note has been taken of the growth of the country and the demand for additional service the knowledge has not been acted upon. Oregon ian. "We would not only exempt all new manufactories from taxation but the old as well, thus placing them on equal footing in compet ing for business, and would go even further than this, we would advocate that the city of Seattle offer as an inducement to any firm who would agree to invest not less than $50,000 in any le gitimate manufacturing business a free site within the county and a premium of $5,000 for the one first iu operation, and it is safe to say that inside of a year we would have a paper mill, a beet sugar factory and a boot and shoe facto ry. Seattle Herald. Woman's Advancement. About sixty years ago Hannah Adams went into tho Boston Athe neum to read. It "vras the first time that a woman had gone to a public library to avail herself of privileges that, had belonged ex clusively to men, and all Boston was shocked by the innovation, declaring Hannah Adams out of her sphere. To-day there are more women reading books in the great public library of Boston than men, but who will say they arc out of their sphere, or that households are neglected, or home life disturbed because Boston wo men are well read? Had Hannah Adams done her reading at home she wonld have been in her sphere. But she could not get access to the books she wanted only bjr go ing to the atheneum, as men did, to read. It did her no harm and probably" did the reading men some good. But the reading wo men in the Boston library to-day are just as much out of their sphere as was Hannah Adams six ty years ago. Nearly twenty years ago the first woman suffrage convention was held in Washing ton, and the meeting was broken up and rendered a failure by . the ridicule of noisy men and boys, whom the police prcteuded to suppress, but in reality encouraged iu their lawlessness. It was a greater innovation than reading in a public library, and the women were not only out of their sphere, but decidedly unwomanly. To day, says the Capital) the same women who were so ridiculed then can fill the largest hall in the city with an audience sec ond to none other for cul ture, intelligence and "social posi tiou. But these women are just as much out of their sphere now as they were twenty years ago. Every innovation has its pioneer. Every movement has its leader. Hannah Adams was the pioneer to open the !xoks in public libraries to women, and the women suffragists have opened the way for women to find their sphere, wherever they can be most useful in making the best of their oppor tunities for self-improvement, self support, and the support oi those dependent upon them. They have educated public sentiment, and to day it is the woman who works and is independent that is respect ed, rather than the woman who is idle and content to find her sphere in a life of idleness. It is no longer a question whether women shall work for a living, but what shall they do, and can they render as valuable service as men? It has been decided that as teachers their services are often more valuable than the services of men. They are often given a preference over men in stores, and in many kinds of work are equal with men. The Denver and Rio Grando railwav, the new transcontinental line to San Francisco, via Ogden and the Central Pacific railway, was completed last Thursday, the last spike being driven at Ogden, and connection made with the Central Pacific road at that point. Through trains began running at once. The completion of this line is regarded as an important event, establishing a new transcontinen tal system, passing through mag nificent scenery, and tributary to the most important towns and cit ies 01 Colorado and Utah. The secretary of the interior has decided adversely upon the application of the Northern Pacific for the withdrawal from settle ment and entry indemnity lands ly ing twenty miles or more bej'ond the original alternate sections granted in the charter, but has sanctioned the action of the com missioner of the land office in withdrawing indemnity lands ad joining alternate sections.
