steamer employ. He happened to be

An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to bo af
flicted? If yon will remember a few
years ago tho word iMnlnna was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
tho meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they nud
Malaria aro intended lo cover what
our grandfathers called Billionsnrss,
and all aro caused by troubles that
ariso from a diseased condition of the
Liver which iu performing ifs func
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causiug nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. Wo recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous. .
Col. Copcland's Lecture. t
"Snobs and Snobbery" was Col.
Copeland's subject last night. Ha
seemed to havo struck the proper
subject; for after the introduction he
started out iu a vein that seemed to
strike the fanny chord in every one's
heart, and for full two hours ho kept
the largo audience in an almost con
tinuous roar, which was occasionally
relieved by a touch of pathos which
held tho listening people in perfect
silence. Daily leader, WicJiita,

TOWAGE AND PILOTAGE.
Some Matters-That Concern Astoria.
Tho O. R. & N. Co. has announced
that it will put tugs ou tho Columbia
bar and river and that tho schedule
of rates from the sea to Portland and
out to sea again shall bo as follews:
Vessels under 800 tons register. . . .S 83)
Vessels 800 to 1,000 " 000
Vessels 1,000 to 1,3)0 " 9M
Vessels 1,200 to 1.4C0 " 1,000
Evpry 200 tons over 1,400 f-0
The announcement states that this
will inclnde towago and pilotage.
This is, to Astoria, an important
announcement in every respect. As
toria is left completely ont of these
calculations; tho matter of bar and
river pilotage is put as a matter too
insignificant to be noticed; the change
does not place Astoria nor the Co
lumbia river on equal footing with
the Sound; the plan is not in com
plete harmony nor in consonanco with
the promise made by the eastern rail
road magnates last January to the
visiting delegation from Portland;
the ability to do all that the O. R. &
N. Co. promises in tho above an
nouncement under present circum
stances except at financial loss, is not
apparent.
Take the last vessel iu tho Naluna,
of 1,10G tons register, drawing 13 feet
coming in and, say 20, going out.
The O. R. &. N. company announces
that it will take that vessel from out
side tho bar to Portland and ont
again for 3950.
While this would be a big reduc
tion over present rates it would leave
comparatively little for the company.
As a business proposition the com
pany wouldn't play even on tho work.
Tho Natnna's 13 feet coming in
would be SHO for bar pilotage and
S52 for river pilotage; the pilotage
going out would be SS0 river pilotngo
down hereand S1S0 from hero to sea,
on tho basis of that vessel drawing
20 feet when sho leaves the river.
Hero is S422 pilotage, leaving S52S to
the company.
The bar pilotago rates aro fixed by
law and can not be interfered with
except by tho legislatures of Oregon
aud Washington. Unless tho com
pany can secure lower bar pilotago
and modify or do away with river
pilotage, it cannot make any money
at its figures. To lower bar or river
pilotage, or try to do without either
branch of tho service would bo to get
the same class of servico that poor
pay always secures.
It may be that tho 0. R. & N. Co.
doesn't want to make any money out
of this lower river and bar business;
it may be that it will put this on as
nn adjunct of tho whole sjslcm of
tho rnilroad, tho samo as a grocer
puts on a horso aud wagon to deliver
purchases, but if it expects to make a
profit out of this branch of tho busi
ness its expectations will not be real
ized. It will no more than pay ex
penses, let alono tho establishment of
a sinking fnnd for replacing of boats,
etc.
Hero arises the old question of tho
relative cheapness of loading vessels
ot Portlandor Astoria. In this sched
ule Astoria is ignored, as though it
wcro of no import, when the whole
strength of the situation, the whole
rorco of the O. K. & N. Uo.'s effert,
rightly lies in the recognition of As
toria as the suitable and proper place
to load the grain vessels, nnd that at
Astoria is tho only point that can1
safoly and squaroly competo with the
bound on tho basis of cheap loading
of grain foreign.
Ou thi3 topic tho Portland At-".
of June 29th, says:
Our reporter visited one. of tho Ieadine
shipping houses ot this city, nnd to the
question, "Does the rate of towago and
hghtorngo established by tho lessees of
tho O. It. &. N. Co. from Portland to the
sea, permit of as cheap rato on tho Co
lumbia river to tho ocean as via Pnget
Sound?" received tho following reply:
"Take a ship of from 1.40U to 1,X) tons.
xuo cost nt tuis jort is $I,U5U for pilot-'
ago nnd towago. At Tacoma tho samo
vessel can bo piloted and lowed for from
$100 to sfGOO, sothcro is from 100 to
iJGoO difference in favor of tho latter
port."
It is such a well founded nrincinln of
business competition, that tho choapest
in iruimpuruuiuu always wins, anu x ort
land is left to the unpleasant predica
ment of discovering from tho lostimony
adduced, that the other ronto has tho ad
vantago over us.
Unless Portland is pat on full parity
with 1'nget sound by the common carrier
that comes in competition with theso
rnilroad connections tributary to l'nget
sound, it is foolish to expect tho business
of such competitive territory. With tho
difference of even a cent a ton in favor
of l'nget sound, Portland will therefore
lose a large part of tho territory east of
tho Cascades, tho grain shipments of
which, by the unerring law of tho cheap
est, will go that way.
Tho chief cost in tho long list of
port charges to a vessel in tho Co
lumbia river, will arise from tho facl
that tho vessels go to Portland for
their load. The usual answer of the
Portland press is that it is cheaper
to take tho ship to the cargo than the
cargo to the ship. This has been
shown to bo not universally the case.
This is tho question for the O. It. At
N. Co., to solvo whether by rail or
river to get tho grain the cheapest to
where it can be loaded in ships of
deepest draught Ships of deepest
draught cannot bo loaded at Port
land; they can be loaded at Astoria
and safely depart without accident or
detention herefrom. In this, Astoria
bears tho same relation to Portland
that San Francisco does to Sacra
mento. The railroad companies in
California can't bring the ships to
Sacramento, so they bring the grain
to San Francisco, to be sent across
to England from an ocean port If
tho O. R. & N. Co., does the same it
can with equal success; if it tries the
impossible; if it spends money iu nn
nttemnt to enmnetn nith tho Rnmul
by ignoring Astoria and trying to
make an ocean port of a city 110 miles
inland it will attempt the impossible
and fail.
There is no antagonism, no effort at
rivalry about this; it is a plain, mani
fest statement of a cold.business fact.
The O. R & N. Co. seems to want to
do some business in tho carrying of
grain to bo shipped to ' England and
the continent. If it means business
and wants to compete with its busi
ness rivals, it will make it an object
for snippers to load their grain here,
at Astoria. In doing this success is
certain; in doing otherwiso failure is
equally certain. Tho grain will .go
the cheapest way. The cheapest way
is not'up over the mountains to the
HnnTiil. lint down tho rrmln mnrlrml
by nature to Astoria at the sea.

Thousands of campaign badges arc.
manufactured daily to supply tho demand
all over tho country, i'hero aro few
firms in tho United States that make n
specialty of badges, nnd tho largVst aro
in this city. Ono of theso firms, to illus
trate what a big business thev do,
furnished 15,000 gross of small trinket
badges iu 1884 to the friends of Cleveland
and Blaine. This campaign tho firm
will turn out about 4,000,000 badges,
principally on orders. In the oast theso
cunning trinkets aro not worn as exten
sively as in tho west. Indiana and Mis
souri each buy more than cither Ohio or
any other of tho western or southern
states. Tho leading badgo this year will
be somewhat similar in nppearanco to
that of tho Grand Army of the Itcnnblic.
and like it will havo nn eaglo pin, a red,
whito and blue ribbon nnd a star for a
pendant. On tho faco of tho badgo a
uno lithograph of tho ITosidential candi
date, lieDublican or Democratic as tho
case may be, is securely fastened in a
neat intio trame. ino next m lorm will
be a polished rolled-plato oval, with front
work relief. This is for tho ladies and
will be worn as a hair-pin. Tho prices
for tho two patterns vary according to
size and finish from G5 cents to &M a
gross. The high-priced badges havo their
metal portions covered witn gold by nn
electric process. In tho procoss of manu
facture each badgo is handled by nearly
half a dozeu persons beforo it is finished.
Tho metallic portions aro stamped out of
long ribbons Of thin brass, which pass
through an antomaticrnn by powor nnd
whioh cuts o hundred badges per minute.
Then they aro taken to tho cutting-room,
whero they are finished and colored. An
nrmy of boys and girls then rapidly
fasten the portions together nnd slip the
pictures iu tho spaces left for them. A
thousand cross per dav can bo turned
out by a large firm in case of necessity.
Every conceivablo design can bo manu
factured at short notice. Thousands of
liepublican badges aro already mado nnd
require only the picture of tho candidate
to bo complete. Thero aro thousands of
clnbs throughout tho country that re
quire clnb as well as tho national badges,
and n larger demand than any previous
year is expected. It is estimated that
