Columbia River Exports.

During the twelve months ending
August LIST, 1888, the value of the
salmon shipped from the Columbia
river was So. las, 200; the ten months
OF the present fiscal year give promise
Of an at least equal aggregate of value
In salmon being sent away during the
present year, about S650,000 worth
having been shipped since August LIST.
Salmon shipments will hereafter be
under different conditions, as the
greater portion of the pack will be
warehoused here and shipped in
smaller lots. Other conditions new TO
the trade have also arisen this sum-
mer In July, A. w. Berry, of this
city, dispatched the c. S. Hubert
with a cargo of salmon from Astoria
to New York, the first shipment of
the kind. The e. S. Homer, the first
ship built with auxiliary steam power,
is now loading here with salmon for
the same port; shipments via the n.
p. r. r., will be made in gu antilles
which will also have an influence upon
the trade; Of course English and Aus
tralian purchases will always go across
the bar as heretofore.
The wheat shipments during the
same period aggregated in value s3,-
510, 800; though none Of this is Asto-
ria production, as is the salmon, yet
its shipment adds no uncomfortable
amount to our local trade, and when
as must inevitably obtain, the entire
wheat crop of the Columbia basin is
loaded at Astoria, the industry will
form a most important part of our
municipal prosperity.
The value of flour shipments for
the same period is Sc,302, 400; the
tendency every season Is to export
proportionately less wheat and more
-four, that is to concentrate; probably
the comparatively cheap freights af-
forded by abundance of tonnage this
season may have the effect Of increas-
ing the shipment of wheat to U. X.

Our American Cousin.

Among the multitude of comedies
that crowd the stage there are a few
that by reason of superior merit or
superior rendition hold place. To
the latter class belongs "Onr Ameri-
can Cousin" The play itself is not
one that justifes the hold that it has
on the popular fancy. As originally
written, the character of Asa Tren-
chard, the great whole-sonled Ameri-
can was the foremost idea; but the
clever adoption of the inane embodi-
ment of patrician asininity known as
"LDrd Dundreary," induced the la
mented Sothern many years ago to
make that character the leading fea-
ture Of the comedy. He created the
character, and no one else played it
while he lived; it was as distinctiyely
his own as Grip Van Wiukle" is Joe
Jefferson's, or Hamlet" is conceded
to be Booths. Il took genius TO
put the requisite amount of assumed
naturalness into the character, and
when Sothern died, it was said in two
continents "GOod bye to Lord Dun
dreary.' When that clever imper-
senator, Geo. Holland appeared, it
was said ''he initiates Sothern," but
if imitation is the sincerest form of
fiattery, surely success ina field made
so difficult by comparison must be
conceded to be measure of artistic
ability. As witnessed at Occidental
Hall last evening, Mr.. Hollands Dun
dreary leaves nothing to be desired.
1t is no more an imitation of SOthern
than one sunrise is an imitation of
another. and deserves hearty commen-
dation for its fidelity to the idea of
the original author. Miss Murielle
as Florence Trenchard and w. G..
Deal as Asa Trenchard, were good.
Kirkland Calhoun's butler was a
clever piece of acting, and the COM
pany throughout we're excellent in
their rendition of the characters as
signed to them.

Wizards Mistake.

The general topic of compensation
yesterday afternoon was the failure of
the n. 2. r. R. visiting party TO ar
rive according to programme. While
the protector Of the enterprise is not
TO be blamed for his inability to carry
out the programme, yet common cour-
tesy would suggest shat some recogni-
tion of the citizens effort to celebrate
was due. But the direct slight in
omitting all recognition OF Astoria in
the matter of invitations is something
that we of Astoria can not look upon
with indifference. Mr.. Willard is a
business man and has the reputation
of not allowing personal feelings to
interfere with business. As a busi-
ness proposition 1t would not have ad-
ded cents cost to the expenses of
his celebration to recognize the i'm
portance of <he second city In the
state by inviting a few of its represen-
tative men, not through any personal
regard, but as a mark of courtesy to
the place. The mayor OF the city,
the collector of the port, the president
of the chamber Of commerce should
have been invited, as proper and fit
ting representatives of our city. The
AsToRIAN is of the opinion that as a
business proposition the gentleman a:
the head made a mistake. He invited
a lot of old fessils that never had nor
never viii have wheelbarrow of
freight for him and deliberately ig-
nored city that can send fifty train
loads Of goods over his road, and that
is entirely independent of Mr.. Willard
or anything he represents.

Does Protection Protectq

The salmon packers of Oregon and
Washington pay every year a large
amount of money as duty on tin plate
imported from England. This
amount is a direct tax on the salmon
packing industry OF the Columbia
river. 1t is in the interest Of "protec-
tion," though the fact that there is no
tinplate manufactured in this country
makes it difficult 10 see just where
the protection" comes in. Some
of this duty is paid back in rebate on
the manufactured cans when filed
with salmon and sent back to the old
country; in shipping salmon to any
American port this rebate IS not al
lowed, which affords the singular but
not unusual spectacle of the United
States government taxing its own
citizens that foreign consumer can
have his goods at a cheaper rate. Of
course this is not the intent of the
protection" but it is the effect, and
all laws are Judged by their effects.
There is a '9sbor committee" in
session in New York at present, and
any one who has an Ak to grind can
60 before it for information. A few
days ago Jos. Jarrett, president of the
amalgamated association of Pennsyl-
vania Iron works, appeared before the
committee and argued that congress
should double the present. duty on
tin plate. His reasons were as brief
as they are beautiful. 1st-that the
blarsted Britishers were making too
much money manufacturing tin plate
for Columbia river salmon packers and
others; ID; that if the duty were
raised, it might" be an inducement
to Pennsylvania capitalists to put
their money into the manufacture of
tin plate. Just how that would ben
eft the Columbia river Gamer does
not appear. OF course it is out of
the que stion to suppose that DIR.
Jarrett is actu ated by any idea Of
possible proft;but it looks little that
way. On the outside it looks ridicu-
lous, but If sufficient coin is judi
clously expended in congress next win
ter it may be that that body will
"protect" American citizens still more
by putting an extra cinch on the ma
terial they use iu direct discrimina-
ton against great industry aud in
favor Of England and Pennsylvania.

About Fair Lads and Lasses.

There is either no sympathy among
the young people of Seattle, or else
there is a great lack of energy among
them. The summer has nearly passed,
but seldom has there been an occs-
sion to report a social gathering of
any sort. An amateur dramatic club
existed long enough to give two per-
formances, and one or two dances
were given under the management of
a dancing teacher, but beyond that
young ladies and young gentlemen
have been content to find amusement
in groups of two and three, losing the
advantages and opportunities of i'm
provement and pleasant hours, which
would have resulted from dignity un-
bent or a more intelligent idea of
,sObleSSe Oblige, Us the case may be-
Yonng ladies have not encoura e d
soci ability, and young gentlemen have
smoked away time and cigarettes
instead Of exercising their muscle and
brain, wit and ambition. in forming
boat and ball clubs, dramatic or liter.
airy societies, or even dancing parties.
The winter is nearly here with Its long
evenings. Why cannot some Of Seat
ties young men and young women put
a little life into the sluggish, sleepy
state of our social world, so that dur
ing the winter, when time hangs heavy
upon their hands, the young people
may at least escape becoming rusty in
things polite and sociable, even if they
gain no improvement therein. Life is
very short-too short to waste, and po-
lite intercourse among ladies and gen
tlemen is prolific of enjoyment, of i'm
provement and of refinement. - Seat
