AOTOKIA, OREGON:
SATURDAY JILY4. Its
THL K ATI OS'S HIRTlDA'i.
Ix 1770. y.UOQ.000 colonists on a strip
ot Atlantic soaceast: in 1885, G0,00p,-
000 frcemou. the foremost of cat-ill's
nations; ibis is the statue on the en
trance of our llOtli year of national
life,
Americans brag a gxd deal and
there is considerable said outside
about "spread cagleisiu" and "Fourth
of July oralorj'." What nation has a
better right ro sound its trumpet and
laud its own achievements! In peace
and war: in arte and sciences: in
wealth, intelligence, prosperity and
all the nttribnles that make a nation
great we lead. Oar business is
greater, our resources vaster, our
future more permanent and assured,
our record more plorious. our possi
bilities unexcelled. "We are a favored
people and except a litUo bitter fruit
from blossoms blown to us across the
sea we have none of the element! of
discomfort.
This is a day of memoiies, for rejoic
ing, for thanksgiving, for patriotic
thought. On this day b?gan the
great struggle between colonists and
kings, a contest for justice, freedom
and human rights. The Declaration
of Independence, the chart and com
pass of ali human rights was promul
gated on this day and the seven years
battle with the banded foes gave this
country her place among the nations
of the earth. Prom crowned kings
and titled tyranny was wrested the
scepter of arbitrary Kwer. ly that
declaration was repealed tlie cruel
statutes of a thousand ears. That
declaration was oar American patent
of nobility; it knighted every son of
toil, it opened to the poorest ever,
path of fame, and set the star of hope
above the cradle of the lowliest.
England vru the foremost natien:
the colonists defied her power, won
their independence by the sword and
wore the garments of victory with
credit to themselves and delight to
the oppressed of every clime. It took
soldiers and thinkers; heroes of the
svo.nl and en, and demanded the
severest toil from those who had the
brain, the heart, the wisdom and the
courage to utter and defend these
werds: "CJoverninenls derive iiieir
just powers from the consent of the
governed.' The men of 7G fought
for that principle, they founded this
nation; honor to their meinorv!
To-day our stainless flag, the proud
est emblem of liberty under heaven,
tloats over our wide domain, and'
every human being beneath its folds
is absolutely free. That flag for
which men fought and died, is the
symbol of all that we are: all that we
hope io be. It is the emblem of
equal rights to all, and speaks to all
in tones more eloquent than pen can
write or living tongue can utter.
That flag which, on land or sea, has
ever led its followers to victory, is
the emblem of the people's will, of
the nation's power. Beneath its
folds the weakest must be protected
nud the strongest must obey. It
was given to ns in the dark days of
the revolution. It has been borne
aloft through eleven decades of
glorious history, and like the bow of
heaven, it is the child of storm and
sun. May its stars perjwtually gleam
above our country!
Oh'AIX THAXSPOHTA TIOX.
Ix a carefully worded article, the
Oregon ian takes issue with us re
garding the cause of the difference
between San Francisco and Colum
bia river freights, and makes a point
in citing the fact that vessels must
come to the Columbia oftlimes in
ballast, while in the more populous
port of San Francisco there is a de
mand for inward bound cargoes, and
a consequent inducement to vessels
to come to a port where a cargo can
be brought as well as carried away.
In this the OnyonUtn is correct, and
while on this subject it might have
added to "its statement by mentioning
the additional fact that the vessels
coming to the Columbia are uniform
ly of inferior tonnage and carrying
capacity to those which uniformly go
to San Francisco. The expenses of a
vessel capable of carrying 2,000 tons
bear such proportion to thos? of one
that can carry but 1,000 tons as to
make it profitable for her to carry
wheat at a figure greatly below what
the smaller vessel must get to insure
anything like a profit on ihe voyage.
The Colnmbin bar is among the
causes of this untoward stato of af
fairs, and when the cause ceases to
exist, large vessels can, let us hope,
enter and load to the fullest capacity
as readily at Astoria as at San Fran
cisco. In another portion of its
article the Orcyoman is unfortunate
in its assumption of alleged facts
which can easily be disproved. It
assert3 that
Yessels come up to Portland for
cargoes because it actually costs
less money to put wheat on ship
board in this way and get it to Asto
ria than to transport it to Astoria by
smaller craft and put it on shipboard
tlcre.
It must be borne in mind thai it is
to the apparent interest of Portland
to have no vessel enter the Columbia
that cannot go to Portland. It is to
this class of vessols that the Origo
nuiu appears to refer in the above
excerpt. But even of this secondary
and less impoitant class the contrary
of the art yon Ion's statement can bo
demonstrated. This has been shown
by figures .Those veracity have never
been called in question, notably in
the case of the he King which was
chartered and loaded here by A. V.
Berry, of this city. The same state
ment was made in The Astobiax at
the time, and denied by the Urcgo
nian, till direct, positive and convinc
ing proof was furnished by The
Astohian. If the editor of the Orc
gonian will turn to his files for "83 he
will find in the Daily Ongunian of
December 21st, a letter signed "Ex
porter," which elicited some testi
mony in thenc columns which can,
if necessary, be reproduced. The
testimony was convincing then; it is
none the less so now.
"But,' the Oregon ian may say, "if
what you claim be so, why tlo the
ships come up here to lead: why
don't they slay down there at Astoria.
Siiippers will ship at the point where
they can ship the cheapest." Yes,
"shippers" will, but commission mer
chants and brokers will natnrallv
congregate where they can make the
most money out of the producer.
That point happens to be Portland
an this is the reason that the mid
dlemen dislike to have any ventilation
of iheir profitable custom. All they
want is to be let alone. The question
of cheap freights is to them a second
ary consideration.
The Astoriax has no desire to dis
cuss this question otherwise than in
a spirit of calm justice, of fair repre
sentation. Wo think we are fairly
informed regarding the matter, and
what is here said is cither so or it is
not .so. The On-yon ia if state
ments and objections as far as heard
are not novel. They have been ad
vanced by Astorians themselves, for no
more determined bar to the progress
of Astoria exists than some of her
own citizens who always lay in a stock
of worries it thev see a stranger or
another thousand dollars come to
town. W'c have no desire to insti
tute any quarrel with our metropoli
tan neighbor, but insist in stating the
fact that even of the inferior class of
vessels that come into the Columbia
river, the cost to the shipper of load
jug wheal could be modified were a
different system than the present to
prevail.
"What is moie needed than any
thing else and what would be of more
practical value than endless columns
of newspaper discussion would be
the loading of vessels hero by men
of capital io buy wheal and demon
strate the facility and relative cheap
ness with which it can be done. Till
such iime as the Columbia channel is
deepened it is not such likely that
such action will come to pass.
KISSOl'M Jl'STICK.
The story printed recently of the
opinion delivered by a United States
territorial judge in Wyoming, wherein
he told the convict, who was sentenc
ed to be hung on the third Friday in
June, that he might take comfort
from the fact that the wisest of mod
ern philosophers doubted whether
life was worth living under any cir
cumstances, is countered by a con
venient parallel which occurred in
southeast Missouri last February.
The tory would never have been
known but that an attorney of St
Lonis, Win. P. Walker, was present
at the lime when a case of his own
was disposed of in the following
language:
The decree of the supreme court,
affirming the judgment of the court
of common pleas, is set aside.
The sapient Missouri judge who
thus set aside the judgment of the
supreme court of the slate, on the
same day delivered the following ex
hortation to a negro prisoner who
had been convicted of highway rob
bery. Jim, stand up! The jury that tried
you found you guilty of highway
robbery, and assessed yonr punish
ment at fifteen years in the peniten
tiary. Yon had a fair trial. The
two young lawyers I assigned to you
as counsel did everything for yon
that could be done. Now, I don't say
you're guilty. I wouldn't say that.
But the circumstances are suspicious.
Somebody was robbed on the high
way of $70, three S20 bills and a $10
bill. It was proved you changed two
$20 bills shortly after, and your wife
changed another, and yon didn't
show how you came by these bills.
Now, if I had been accused of this
offense unjustly, I would have said:
Why, I got this money from so and
so. and then call that person as a
witness. But you didn't do that, and
your case looks bad. However, if
you are innocent, think what q satis
faction it will bo to you, as you en
ter the penitentiary, to feel in your
breast that you are an innocent man!
And now, let me give you piece of
advice, lou have only got a sen
tence of fifteen years. Had you been
a while man, the jury would have
given you a much larger sentence.
But we white people have compas
sion on you colored people. We re
member your want of education
and make allowance for you. My ad
vice is: behave yourself while" you
are in the penitentiary. If you do,
you will have to serve only eleven
years and three months- Think of
Ihat. If you do behave, the warden
will at the end of that time report to
the governor, and he will pardon you.
Mind you. the governor has no dis
cretion when the warden makes his
favorable report He's got to do it,
and I don't suppose the governor
would shirk his dutv. Sit down.
Jim!

Tiie Standard thinks it is "al
most treasonable'' to refer to the fact
that so many of President Cleveland's
appointees fought under the stars
and bars. The Standard always
was fond ot its little joke.
