A Compliment TO the late WashingtO ton
Territory Legislation.

AT recent meeting of the Port
land Board of Trade the committe on
legislarute reported relative to the
system of pilotage at the Columbia
River bar. The report after citing
the fact that the late Oregon Legis-
lature defeated the pilot bill in the
endeavor toperpetrate the bar pilotage
monopoly shows that the committee
then communicated with the Columbia
bar pilotcommissioners ofW ashington
Territory, Messrs. j. B. Knapp, H. G.
Comegys and J. l.. Stout, who upon
application granted licenses to Messrs.
Day, Staples, johnson and Masters,
bar pilots who were refused licenses
by the Oregon commissioners I'M
der the arduous Oregon law. These
additional pilots entered upon their
duties the 1st instant. The report
concludes as follows:
Had this not been successfully ac-
complished through the instrument
tally ofthe Washington territory pilot
commissioners the pilotage system on
the bar would have been to-day, as
formerly, in the hands of one man.
For the first time, therefore, in the
history of Oregon, pilotage on the
Columbia bar is now free and open
to public competition. For this great
boon the commerce of Oregon has
to thank the people and legis-
lature of Washington Territory, who
have done for Eastern and Western
Oregon what our own state legisla-
ture would not do. The great bene-
fits to shippers by opening the pilotage
system to public competition have re-
Gently been shown. Five foreign yes
sells of large tonnage arrived off the
bar in one day of last week and sig
nailed for pilots. The bar was SO
rough that they could not be towed
in, but five pilots tone for each vessel)
were Immediately placed on board
lneSe Vessels anu IueN safely TOuc
outside the bar until the weather
Gained, which could not have been
accomplished with limited number
Of pilots licensed on the bar.
The above is handsome compli-
ment to the Legislature of Washing
ton Territory which passed the law
under which these additional pilots
are licensed. The Oregonian con-
cludes an editorial comment on the re-
port as follows:
Our own legislature at the late SEES
sion, owing to the activity of lobby
influence, failed to pass the bill it
should have enacted, and we there
fore have the more reason to thank
Washington Territory for having done
for us what we were too stupid to do
for ourselves.

News is received that Adam Haber,
a German, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who
lately visited the fatherland, has been
sentenced to five years imprisonment
for speaking disiespectfully of En-
peror William. Some of the news
papers are calling loudly on Secretary
Evarts to rescue him from his punish
ment, just as though his American cit
izenship gave him license to abuse
anyone not an American, while in a
foreign land When foreigners come
to America they are held amenable by
our laws, and why should not an
American be held to answer the law
of any country he is visitingl Men
who keep a civil tongue in their heads
never get into trouble anywhere.
