THE COLUMBIA JURISDICTION. Durlnr the cast week the fiookane Re- View, ttie Seattle 'P, I., the Paclflc Journal of Ilwaco and Che South Bend Journal have amused 'themselves by shamefully maligning the motives aind attempting to question the honesty of Pish Commis sioner McOulre of this state. With their Information based on "news" that never happened, these papers have Jumped into the middle of one of the moat intricate ' questions of law that ever confronted any community, and have attempted by blus tering talk about 'iHoodthlrsty kidnapers urmed to the teeth attempting an In vasion of Washington, to divert the '. public mind from the real question at Issue. In the same spirit of blackguard Ism that the papers of Seattle and Ta coma continually exhibit ta each othr, while the mass of people in both cities are really sincere 'business end social friends, the Washington prwts Is In turn a unit Attempting to stir up s'.rife be tween the citizens of its state and Ore gon, when the residents on both sides of the river know and respect each other. The question of Jurisdiction over the Columbia river, as far as it relates to violations of the fishing laws of the slates, Is one that has no parallel In the Union. This Is the opinion of many eminent Jurists, both In Washington and Oregon, who have searched Innumerable court reports, and records to find a case at all approaching it. Fish Commis sioner 'McQuIre has fought the matter id ene form and another time after time in the Justice courts of this city, without any satisfactory results. is an officer of 'this state appointed by the governor for special service, and sworn to do his duty. 'He has taken the advice of the attorney general of Oregon, and of many other prominent attorneys, and bus de cided that the only thing left for him to do is to push the question to the end and (force it inte the United States courts. The charge that he Is prejudiced in favor of a certain section of fishing Interests of the river is ranis nonsense, for his . present attempt to bring the whole sub ject before a tribunal that can listen to no prejudices of any kind sufficiently disproves such an unfounded accusation Tin Pot-Inte;tlgener, a paper big enough and old enough to refrain from such cowboy methods of Journalism, states that (Mr. IMcGulre last Sunday kept his eyes open solely for trap fisher men on the Washington side, totally ig noring the hundreds of glUi netters whose iboats iwere drifting all around him. There was only one gill net man fishing on the whole lower river Uat Sunday. He la John II. Watson of this city, and he was promptly arrested and held before the grand Jury at present In session, For years those principally Interested have pretended that they desired nothing better than a final decision that will set' tie the vexed question of Jurisdiction for all time. If they are acting In good faith, and they seem at present, anyway, to be in . this mood, they will gladly grasp the opportunity and Join hands iwlth Mr. McOulre In his attempt to come to an ultimate understanding rather than throw obstacles In his road. Mr, Crawford, the fish commissioner of Wash ington, has stated emphatically that It is for the best Interests of both states ht the dispute shall be quickly settled. The only method of accomplishing this Is the one that has been adopted by the Oregon commissioner. He1 has arranged that the live lndlcttd trapmen and the one Indicted gill netter shall be at once brought into the United States courts, and that the friends of the prisoners shaut take sUps toward habeas corpus proceedings. As soon as this application Is made the whole question of Jurisdic tion will be brought up, and, It Is b lteved, settled. The appeal, if any, from the decision must be ultimately taken to Washington city and will then be acted on and the question set at rest. Mr. McOulre, in leading up to this no tion has neither been arbitrary or unjust. Being probably In a better position to Judge his actions and to se more of his real wortr than any other newspaper in either state the Astorlan feels In duty bound to come to the defence of a gov ernment official whose position precludes Mm friin defending himself, more par ticularly when that official has ever sine his appointment conducted his work In a courteous, firm and honoitl manner. One of the most silly of all the foolish statements made by the sliver cranks Is that silver Is the money of the poor man and gold the money of the rich man. It Is not true in this country. The only lands In which silver Is the money of the prnr people are those In WM- the great masses of the people nre terribly poor. But, supposing the claim were true for the United tSates, would It not be better for the poor man to enable him to frt pay for his work In the gold money, which the rich men prefer because they And It to be the best? Suppose the said rich men were to agitate far the paying of silver only to the poor while keeping the gold for circulation among them selves. Would not the labor agitators and the Cheap John agltatoi-s raise a howl over it as one of the most iniquitous propositions ever made for discriminating against the poor man? The toller for wages Is entitled to receive his pay In the very best kind of money going, If there be any difference, and he is the ene who would suffer most by the clrcu Hatlon of money of Inferior purchasing power because least able to ''ake advan tage of the difference between the buying power of the best and the poorest. The claim that silver is the money of the poor man and that therefore the silver money he has saved from past labor and will receive for labor in the future ought to have its buying pox at reduced one-half Is as big an Insult to common sense es it Is intended to be a swindle upon the people. Certain observations of more or lees interest upon the commerce between Jap and and China and Corel are contained In a recent report of Consul-General Jemlgan of Shanghai to the state depart ment. The tradd In question will, he says, present new phases as a result of the termination of hostilities. Accord ing to him the competition o.mong Japan ese merchants for Corean ' trade is vi cious, and has demoralized trade. He calls attention to the fact that while there Is not in China or Japan a banking institution conducted by American cap ital and Americans, Great Britain, France and Germany have banks In China and Japan. The merchants of these coun tries are supported by the banking in stitutions of their own countries, and they have been dividing the profits of Asiatic commerce, while American mer chants In Asia are compelled to transact their business through foreign tanks. Not many years ago, he says, the American Interest was of first consideration at Shanghai, and American commerce whit ened Asiatic waters, but now other na tions are pushing aheid, although geo graphically the United States should dominate and supply with the overpro ductions of their fertile fields the markets of the swarming millions of Asia. There Is but one wagon road leading out of Astoria, and It would seem that some intelligent effort ought to be ex erted to keep it In a reasonably decent condition for travel. It Is true that an occasion il and spasmodic movement is made by the city authorities to keep up in some sort of iashlon that portion of the road extending through the city lim its, but the work is usually done in such a rude and perfunctory manner that It Is usually more of a vexation and annoy ance than a real substantial benefit. One of these periodical spells of repairing is Just finished, and It Is said by those who know, that It had better never been un dertaken. The repairs have consisted In throwing down at various angles across the road a lot of rough timbers called "puncheons," which might In muddy times serve the useful purpose of handy pryers to got vehicles out of the mire, but which at this season are only obstructions In the line of travel. There are ample means In the city treasury derived from the county road fund to cover these tim bers with a coating of dirt so as to make 11 possible to drive over 'them, and it Is the duty of the street committee to see that this money is so expjnded and the road thus put in passable condition. The school directors will toe generally praised and commended for their decision to leave the question of filling the va cancy In their numbar caused by the death of Mr. Dickinson to the qualified voters of Astoria. It was a difficult and delicate task, and no matter how con scientiously they might have performed it, there would have been complaint and criticism from one source or another. The responsibility now rests with the people, und it is to be hop.'d that It will be discharged with' a due sense of Its importance, and solely from the stand point of the best good of the community and our excellent public school system. ANTI-FRIED SILVER VIEWS. Discussing the intrigues of the sllverltes to gain recognition In the coming con vention of the National League of Re publican Club, the Boston Herald, (Dem.) says: "They start oft with an impudent demand for free coinage, hut in mak ing it they are only naming a high price In ordor 'that they may have plenty of room fr an abatement of their terms." The 'Philadelphia Ledwer (Ind. Rip? says: "I'ennsylvainla Is falling Into line for honest money. The Union league Is to pass resolutions on the subject, not withstanding a protest of a minority of the anemlK-rs who regard any action at the present time as Inexpedient. There Is no reason to doubt that the league will avow itself unqualllledly on the right side of the question." PhKadeCptiH Times (Ind. Dem.): Even Dauphin county, the horn of Senator Cameron. wtJi send anti-free sliver dele gates from the Republican leagues to itihe national convention at Cleveland, and Laitwaster, where Cameron uppeored to achieve a great victory at the recent Republican, prlmarlts, is equally emphatic In its opposition to the free silver erase, and does not whisper the name of Cam eron for president. Referring to the refusal of the Colorado Republican league to doctare for secession from the party unless (he national con vention should favor free coinage the St. Louis Cttohe-Democrat (Rep.) says: "Colorado 'Republicans see that a free coinage plinik in the platform will demor atlie and degrade the party In four-ftfths of the country that If It would not beat the party It would make the party feel that It ought to be beaten. No loyal Republican Is going to ask the party to make any such sacrifice as this." The Indianapolis Journal (Rep.) re marks: "If 0nerul John M. Palmer had staid In the Republican party he would not now have to be making the fight of his life for honest money." And the Buffalo Courier (Dtm.) adds: "If some of the Republican candidates for presi dent wre tvorer engaged In making an equally good fight against the silver men In thur party. Instead xf preserving a masterly silence on the subject, they would enjoy a share of the public re spect which is Senator Palmer's." The Silt (Lak Herald (rabid free elver orsran) Is becoming alarmed at the suc cesses of the sound money advocates In the west and calls on the silver miners to put mony and effort Into the cam paign. It says: "Unless the groat body of the voters (of Utah) are aroused, en lightened and induced to array them, selves against the power of gold and Its grip on the vitals of the nation the cause of silver (W-cenit dollars), which Is the cause of freedom and general prosperity, cannot be expected to triumph. What Is done must be done quickly." The St. Paul Pioneer Press (Rep.) states that a great change of public sentiment In favor of sound money is going on in Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Ore gon and Washington. "It Is significant," It adds, "that Congressman Johnson of Worth Dakota, who is supposed to be a candidate for Hansborough's seat in the senate, has openly repudiated the free silver folly!" Commencing upon the latest proposal of the sllverltes, namely: "That we I'holud try free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, and If gold goes out of cir culation and silver circulates at Its com mercial value that Is, at CO cents on the dollar we can change the ratio so that the two metals would circulate on a par ity," the Savannah (Ga.) News (Dem.) remarks: "When the sllverltes begin to talk of making such experiments as that there is good ground for assuming that they regard their cause as hopeless." "W are still on the gold basis," re marks the Baltimore Sun, "yet cotton. oil, Wheat, beef, corn, leather and iron are advancing. Idle factories are resunv lng work, wages are improving, the rail roads report larger earnings, bonds and stocks sedl better, and clearing-house re turns show vastly increased transactions, The silver campaign is already a back number. It Is use-less to try to Are en thusiasm for a remedy when the disease is cured or when the patient is already plainly on the sure road to recovery. PENNSYLVANIA FOR BOUND MONEY Philadelphia Times (Dem.): It is a healthy sign of the times that thus far not a single Republican league in Penn sylvania has chosen delegates to the na tional convention of the leagues, to meet In Cleveland next week, with Instructions to support the free coinage of silver or to favor Senator Cameron for the presl dency. A large majority of them so far as known are open and unqualified in their declarations in favor of honest money; a very few of them have given no expression, land a number are yet to be chosen. Even Dauphin county, the home of Senator Cameron, will send antl-Jfree silver delegates from the Re publican leagues to the national conven Man, and Lancaster, where Cameron ap peared to achieve a great victory at the recent Republican primaries is equally emphatic in Its opposition to the free sil ver craze and does not whisper the name of tXumcron for president. It cannot be doubted that the Republicans of this state, when they, come to a square ex pression on the money Issue, will be positive in their deliverance in favor of a thoroughly sound financial system and reject the whole 'theory of the free sllver ltes. With all the efforts that have bten made by Cameron to divide the Repub Mean people on 'the issue, it may now be accepted as certain that no expression can come from the Republicans of this stiate of even a doubtful character on the most vital question that is before the American people. LAST YEIAR'S RESOLUTIONS. The compilers of the Memphis free sit ver cranks' platform got hold of several old planks from last year's Populist plat forms and shoved them In with delight ful disregard of the chiuinges time has made. The following, for example, sounds very much belattd: "Under the financial policy that now prevails we see itho land filled with Idle and discontented working-men and an ver growing army of tramps, men whom lack of work and op portunity have m'ade outcasts and beg' gars." This was drawn originally when Coxey's army was In motion, and before Its illustrious leader was arrested and lodged in Jail. Not a shadow of any ermy of tramps can be seen anywhere in this country today, and instead of idle workmen the newspapers publish daily accounts of the voluntary rising of wages by manufacturers In various parts of tne country, in howling about calamity under these conditions the free silver ad' vocuteo Show haw grlevlously they fear 'the approaching wave of prosperity. It win be all up with them when that ar rives, and they howl their loudest in hope at accomplishing same-thing for the cause before it gets here. Still, It Is not strange that some of them thought theyl saw urmies of tramps at Memphis. There were In the convention some of the most Insurable political tramps this country has ever seen, and the platform makers may have had these in mind. New York Post. SOME SWEET TODAY. I will not light the lamps until I've thought What was the sweetest thing In all my day; I will not seek to speed The lingering ray Until my anxious eye hath somewhere caught A word, a smile, or something that hath passed In my small sphere. O, memeory, thou hast Some sweet today! Now fancy travels out and conjures up A long and brilliant train; It all floats by, Joy and sadness go Wtlh 1'augh and1 sigh, And dregs of pain lay deep in pleasure's cup, But now I see two tender hazel eyes Turn cm me-ilps that smile Ah, herein lies My sweet today 1 A perfume breathes from pictures of the mind, And in our fancy memory carves her lore, Our dearest. treasures In the air we find; I knew my happiness tonight was for Same sweet today!
