AcTORJA OREGON:
ASIT GOES

On her last trip down the sfesmsr
0reoo,, took to San Francisco, arrTv-
mo last Friday, 1000 tons Of wheat.
The O. R. & N. Co., gets $3.50 ton
20 take this Oregon wheat to San
francisco. This $3.50 ton is paid it
IN this instance by Balfour, Guthrie &
n of Portland. The 1000 tons will
ba loaded foreign in San Francisco.
Under a different system that 1000
tons of wheat and 100 other 1000 ton
cargoes would be loaded at Astoria,
and the profit, for of course there is a
nrofit would be divided between the
O. R. & N. Co., Portland and Astoria.
Under the present system the COM
merce of the Columbia is wrongtully
diverted. THE Historian IN comment
ing on these matters always states ex-
act facts: it chooses its words andsays
nothing that is not capable Of direct
proof, or that admits of successful
contradiction.
Such firms as Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., can write ordering THE Historian
discontinued, all they like. TIE As
ToRIAN does not concern itself as to
their patronage, and any one who
does not desire to subscribe for this
paper as a business proposition and
for the information it contains need
not do so. The Historian has no feel
ing in the matter, beyond desiring to
show that the existing system of ship
ping grain is not on public business
principles. 1t is slightly surprised
that those in Portland who know
better and who are acquainted with
the facts should aid In perpetuating
so unjust and unbusiness like a sys.
TEN. They aid it by silence, as much as
by sarcastic reference or caustie con.
tradiction, at the same time knowing
that what The Historian asserts is the
exact truth.

IN SOLEMN CONCLAvE.

The following is from yesterdays
Oregonian:
A regular meeting of the board of trade
was held last evening, president Donald
Macleay in the chair.
The matter of the ibeling of the ship
Borrolcdale for pilotage and the effort
being made by the pilots to perpetuate
the old rates came up for consideration.
Mr.. Mckee said that if the o. r. & N.
Co. did not wish to fulfill their contract
with the board, they would be placed in
most awkward position.
Some discussion followed, and the
failure of the D. r. & N. to have a tug at
the bar was considered a violation of
their agreement, which was q matter of
deepest interest to the board.
The matter Of appointing marshals for
this city and Astoria, to look after sailor
boarding-houses, also came up for dis
cussion. 1t was stated that no support
could be looked to from Astoria in carry-
ing out the law in this matter.
The marshals will, however, be state
officers, and can enforce the law at As
toria as well as here.
1t was finally decided that a committee
be appointed. to report the names of two
persons suitable for marshals, and also
an attorney be employed by the board to
supervise and direct these officers, aud,
also to look after the suit against the
BOrTo1oddle, and motion to that effect
was carried.
1t would be interesting to know
who it was that stated "that no sup
port could be looked to from Astoria
in carrying out the law in this mat
ter" and what were his grounds for
uttering such gratuitous insult. 1t
seems impossible for our Portland
brethren to discuss commercial mat
ters without little side whaok at
Astoria, and they always make them
selves ridiculous.

The Historian believes that a sub

would meet with satisfactory response.
Their interests and our interests are
identical. They need railroad outlet
to the sea, and will, doubtless, coop

such desirable end.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT, while at
Monaco, just before his late depar-
ture for Egypt, had a quarrel with
the princely ruler of that famous gam
bling resort, and the princeling gave
orders that the American millionaire
should be excluded from the borders
of the principality. Now, as all tie
world knows, the palace at Monaco
stands on a great rock overhanging the
Mediterranean. Mr.. Benefits yacht
lay near at hand, and, after the quar-
rel, he went on board and spent the
night in steaming up and down in
front of the castle with the foghorr
blowing every other minute. The
disturbed prince next morning made
peace with his old friend, and Mr.
Bennett returned to Monaco.

The Kanawha Court disposed of
the recount for Governor by certify
ing to the first returns, which gave
Golf a majority of ], 519 in that coun.
ty. At the request of Jennings
counsel Court signed bill of excep-
tions. 1t seems to us that the Courts
must soon be sick of this contest
business. They have been appealed
to by every device and subterfuge
known under the law to gain a point
for the Democratic contestant, and
the proceedings must have appeared
to the dispensers ofjustice as exceed
ingly trifling and plainly contrary to
the law, seeking an unjust advantage
over the voice of the people and the
rights of other claimants. The cry
of fraud re-echoed itself hollow, and
fraud was used to detect fraud that
did not exist. Every Court in the
State was burdened with illegal cleo.
ton cases, and the cost and trouble
to the hundreds charged with viola
ton of the election laws were crimes
against good citizenship, with Meth.
er truth nor evidence to sustain
them, -only the desperate efforts of
q defeated party to keep the lawful
ly elected out of their seats. 1t is a
beautiful example of political ex-
tremes for the young men of the
State to ponder over.

The administration in Washington
is no: as extremely Republican as
some railroad arrangements are ex-
tremely Democratic,-so much so
that Democratic political recommen-
dations go ahead of the President of
the road. Republican business men
should sign a petition of protest
against corporations being run by pol
iticians. When Democratic influence
controls the local railroad manage
ment, Republicans and their sons
need notapply,a and if the people don't
like it they can take their patronage
elsewhere. That's about the way the
petty bosses argue to themselves
when they are petted up by the local
politicians to believe that "my
friend" Mr.. German is On the side
OF politics every time.

due to bad air or water, or if the

THE FATAL KEROSENE CAN
AGAIN.-Last Sunday night, in the
vicinity Of Neersville, Va, about four
miles from this place, a very distress
ing accident happened. The four
children Of a. Mr.. Cullens or Cults,
were alone in the house, the mother
having gone to milk the COW. Desir- |
ing to rejuvenate the expiring fire,
one of the three boys secured the oil
can and proceeded to pour its contents
into the stove, his two brothers and
little four-year-old sister meanwhile |
watching him. Unfortunately some |
embers stilR slumbered beneath the
dark cinders, and suddenly the can
and sat fire to the little girls
clothes. Mortified, one OF the boys
ran to his mother and told her that |
his little sister was burning up - |
but the mother thinking the children
merely wished to Brighten her,
paid no attention to their cries
and it was only after reaching the
house, something later, that she knew
the horrible truth they had spoken, |
for there before her lay her little girl
cooked, the flesh resembling
that OF broiled fowl. DIR. B. B. Ran.
son. of this place, was Immediately
sent for and arrived at the scene ofthe
accident as soon as possible; but
while he was removing his coat the
little one expired. The case is a very
sad one and its moral is plain and |
should be as potent. !
