The British ship BOTrOlCdGie was
formally libeled last Monday by pilot
Neill, who returned yesterday morn
ing. This constitutes a test case.
Messrs. Deadly and Nicholas are re-
tanned by the pilots.
If the constitutionality of the law is
upheld, as so nominated in the bond,
the circular of the o. r. & N. Co., con-
tains the law and the gospel and its
mandate must be complied with.
The question, boiled down, is simp-
ly this-Do the o. r. & n. Co, or
the people own the Columbia river?
That's all there's to it. Argument
and rogation and surrogation and re-
ioinder and counter rejoinder piled a
mile high doesn't make any difference
in the cold naked fact.
The question is just as stated
above.
1t is Il matter of no interest either
one way or the other to The ASTO-
RAN. except that this paper has
worked with whatever energy and in
fuence it possesses for many years
for the common good, for the develop
ment OF the Columbia river commerce
and the advancement, of this country,
and it dislikes to see the clock of pro-
gress stopped and q general about
face and backward march.
Such policy never builds up COM
monwealths and sometimes proves
fatal to corporations that cannot see
beyond the narrow horizon of present
gain the boundless possibilities OF
future profit.
Apart from private gath, aside from
possible dividends, above and beyond
all personal feeling and individual
opinion, stands the question of alb
stract right, of general welfare, oi
common good.
| With no bias either way, with no aA
to grind, nor personal desire to see
other than right prevail, THE AsToRIAN
hopes to see this question settled in {
way that will inure to the direct and
lasting benefit of the commerce Of the
Columbia river.
1t is question of deep concern to
those who realize the magnitude o
the real interests involved.

If you're mean enough to want to
find out, you can tell a young lady's
age by following the subjoined in
structions, the young lady doing the
figuring: Tell her to put down the
number OF the month in which she
was born, then to multiply it by 2,
then to add 5, then TO multiply it by
30, then to add her age, then to sub
tract 395, then to add IT'S, then tell
her to tell you the amount she has
left. The two figures to the right will
tell you her age, and the remainder
the month of her birth. For example
the amount is 822 She is % years
old and was born in the eighth month
August.

Recognizing the situation the Co
lumbia river pilots have sent the state
board of pilot commissioners the fol-
lowing:
To the Hon. Board Of Pilot Com
miSSiO7lerS.
GENTLEMEN: We the undersigned,
pilots holding licenses for the Colum-
bia and Willamette rivers, beg most
respe ctfully to state to your honorable
body, that we bind ourselves to pilot
all vessels coming and going between
Astoria and Portland free of all charge
until. Judge NJ. Deady renders Il de
cision in the suit now pending be
tween the ship BorTOtOtlale and f. F.
Neil: providing there are no more
licenses granted on the same waters
to other persons.
The above is signed by the river
pilots, men who have, some of them
been twenty years in the business, but
who are mot needed" at present, nor
likely to be in the future, except when

RIVER AND BAR PILOFAGB.
The Present Phase Of the Matter.
The Borrowdale LibeIed.-The River ri.
lots Proner Service,

How not to do it." seems to be the
rule at present as regards bar and
river pilotage. Since the alleged new
"law" which was bulldozed through
the last legislature, is supposed to
have gone into effect, the service on
bar and river has become demoraliZed
and the only bearable feature of the
situation Is the fortunate fact that the
incoming vessels are 80 few that disas-
ter may by good luck be averted.
In speaking of matters like this THE
Historian always chooses its words,
and the above statement is not reck-
less nor unjust.
1t is plain, unprejudiced refer
ence to an existing fact.
Anyone not blinded by prejudice or
the self interest induced by pecuniary
means, will admit that the present
ridiculous administration of bar and
river service on the Columbia river is
farce that is only permissible by the
broadest Interpretation of risk or the
widest latitude to dangerous power
conferred by ''law" that is believed
to be not worth the paper it is written
ON.
THE Historian has no fight to make
for the pilots, nor has it any feeling
against the o. Il. G. n. Co.
Amid clashing of interests it looks
solely to the public good: the COM
merce of the Columbia river, and if it
publishes unwelcome facts, those who
are responsible for these facts cannot
complain if exact statement is made
regarding the present condition of
things.
Nothing is ever settled till it is set
tied right, and whether the pilots shall
prevail, or the o. r. & n. Co. be hand
ed the key OF the Columbia, this mat
ter will not stay quiet: it must be agi-
tated.
The legislature was fooled by the
OregOniGn last winter into passing
the law, and its members who believed
what they were told were caught by
plausible arguments about the pro
ducer."
The fact that the o. r. &. n. Co.
desires to retain the inland tolls es-
capped their astute observation.
1t was cleverly done, but it can't
last The legislature can't deliver the
goods.
Falsehood, sarcasm, ridicule, invec-
tive and misstatement in and out of
newspaper columns in Portland can
not rub out the fact that there is no
adequate bar and river towage service:
that competition is throttled, that the
state is made the thrall of a corpora
ton, that the commonwealth of Wash
ington is denied jurisdiction in a mat
ter wherein equity suggests at least an
equal voice, and that the plainest die
tates Of safety and commercial re-
quirements are partially ignored.

ARERXRRSR SET.

The Topeka Capital urges the demo-
Gratis in the house to get a move on
them if they mean to do anything with
the tariff this session.
The democrats of the house arela per-
verse set. Doubtless they fear to pass
bill that increases the tariff and
therefore gives additional protection.
That would be playing into the enemy's
hands, and that is something they
never do, unless by II blunder. They
look over the country, especially the
agricultural districts of the west and
behold prosperous and contented peo-
pie. They see the farmer getting high
prices for his products and. his stock,
and rolling in wealth. Business in
commercial circles is good and failures
almost unknown. Every man sleeps
under his own vine and fig tree, undis
turbed by fears that it may be sold from
over his head by the sheriff. Want is
unknown and plenty abounds.
That grand panoramic view justifies
the claims of those who commended that
such would be the fruits.of protection.
Shall democrats admit the force of the
enemy's logic by voting higher tariff
and thereby add to the blessings OF
protection? OF course not. 1t is very
perverse in them to refuse it, but what
can be done about it. If they
were actuated by an honest desire fol
the public good, and wished to do some
thing that would put the crown on ev
erybody's happiness, they would make
the tariff prohibitory and protection
absolute.
But they are not. They only seel
party advantage. The happy condi
ton of things in the agricultural re
gions is a rebuke that angers them
They envy the wealth and prosperity
of the western farmer who drives out
daily with his wife and family, and en-
joys the wealth that heaven under
protection, has sent him. These dem
ocrats are queer deople.
They would ruin and impoverish the
country if they could have their way
AS an evidence behold how they, OF
one of them, killed q republican il

evidence do you want that they are nj

wonder that President Cleveland ha:
