THE pANuBE's PASSENGERS.

1t appears from the consular report
that Chinese certificates have been
forged by wholesale at Hongkong. 1t
was no doubt that factory that turned
out some hundred duplicates Of GER
tificate which Chinaman formerly
employed at the occident hotel, in this
city, took with him to China. Before
Mr.. Lotan discharged the Danube's
last consignment Of Mongolians, he did
not forget the advice given to a min
lister about to leave for Europe, which
was "Above all, do not be over zeal-
ous'' Now Mr.. Lotan, like a truly
conscientious officer, has not been over
jealous. He simply permitted some
thing over three-fifths of the 5O4 mer-
chants % to land, and left the remain
der to appeal from his decision. 1t Is
singular where all these merchants
come from, and IL Mr.. Lotan's deci-
sions are to be depended upon, there
must be a score or more of Celestlals
Interested in every Chinese store in
Oregon's metropolis. The admonition,
BE not over Jealous might be
profitable, if needed, to Portlands col
lector. He might, for instance, be less
dlligent in establishing the genuine
ness OF the certificates and admit
those who are really not en-
titled to land, leaving the Others. pos
sessed Of just claims, to present their
cases to a higher tribunal. The GUS
toms authorities in Portland might
possible "be approached" by friends OF
the Chinese, but OF course those Of
ficers would scornfully repel any at
tempt at bribery. We observe that in
New York, where thousands of immi-
grants arrive weekly, the officials de-
eide quickly on the merits of each i'm
migrant. When vessel is placed in
quarantine, her documents are exam
lined at once. in order that there may
be no further delay when the quaran-
tine has expired. But good and solid
reasons doubtless prevent Collector Lo-
tan and his deputies from displaying
like diligence in the discharge of their
duties.

When will Portland learn wisdom?
Her merchants and manufacturers find
now that the sweeping reduction in
freight rates made by the Great North
ern imperils her jobbing trade and local
industries The eastern rates to spo-
kane are lower than those from Port
land to that city. 1t follows that Port
Ind will be forced to seek for trade
Within narrower limits. The California
drummer is almost at her gates and
the Spokane traders viii soon invade
her territory. Long ago Portland should
have prepared for this warfare by pro-
noting the development OF Oregon In
many ways. The construction Of a.
railroad to Astoria by way Of the Ne
halem valley should have been one OF
the first things that Portland undertook

Brown drill is pretty when it Is pretty;
that sounds enigmatical, but it's a
simple question of complexion; girls
