Capt. John Irving. the genial mariner
who owns and commands the magnifi-
cent Islander, now in port, as well as a
dozen other fine, fast steamers, did not
always sail under the British flag. He
was born in Portland, and is q son Of
the late William Irving, who came to
the Columbia in 1S49 in command Of a
bark. with Richard Hoyt, Sr.. as mate.
In the early fifties Irving engaged in
steamboating on the Willamette and
Columbia rivers with man named
Alexander Sinclair Murray who is now
running an excursion steamer out Of
Sydney, Australia. Murray borrowed a
stake" from Irving, Sr., and went over
to the Frazer river. Bad management
of some other cause compelled him to
continue borrowing, until Irving went
over TO get his money out. He never
succeeded, hut laid the foundation for
the splendid transportation system now
known as the Canadian Pacific Nayiga-
tion Company and young Capt. John,
who succeeded him, is manager and
principal owner in the company, who

TAIN'T so HERE.

The statistician is very trying per-
son. but he is often interesting as we'll
For instance, he has discovered that
only 55 per cent of blondes marry, while
70 per cent of their brunette sisters en-
gage in matrimony. The Astorian
merely wishes to remark that this sta
tistican does not hail from Astoria. The
Astoria brunettes have no such per
cent advantage as this over Astoria
blondes. The spigtly Astoria blond is
quite able to hold her own with her
darker sister. There are ro strings tied
to Astoria's blondes.

of space, to have to omit. An excellent
address by Prof Wright, of the high

the club of a roll containing 352 names,
out of the 6S3 pupils of the Court street

1NDEPENDENT ACTION.

The Atlanta Constitution says in regard
to the free coinage of silver:
What stands in the way of independent
action by the United States? What is to
prevent this country from opening its
minis to the coinage of silver on the same
terms with gold? We are told by those
whose ignorance has been played upon
by the phrase sound money" (Which is
pure cant and hypocrisy when applied to
money that is constantly increasing in
value1 that the moment our minis are
open 10 silver our stock of gold will dis
appear and that instead of having a BIZ
metallic standard we shall have the sin
gle silver standard, which will place our
currency upon a level with that of Mex
leo.
Now, it is difficult to deal with an as
sumption. When men with whom you
are discussing a question deliberately
abandon arguments and facts and logic,
and rest their whole case on an assump-
ton, you cannot meet them with argu-
ments. 1t is an assumption that the law
of supply and demand will suddenly be
come imperative. There is no reason
given for it, but it is assumed that the de-
mand of sixty-five million people for sill
yer when that metal is made a money
metal will have no effect on it's value. 1t
is assumed that 412 12 grains of standard
silver will be worth As or 40 cents in our
own markets at the same moment that it
could be exchanged for a legal tender
dollar at the minis. 1t is assumed that
Alp LIZ grains of silver will be worth
about so cents in England and continen-
tai Europe at the same moment that it
can be sent to this country and exchang
ed for a dollars worth of cotton, wheat,
petroleum, or any other commodity which
this country sends abroad.

NOT EVEN HENrIONED

In the Nashville American, one of the
largest and best papers published in the
south. have been printed for several
days from two to three pages descriptive
Of the meeting of the National Confer
ence of charities. The meeting is Il big
one and one of the most important of the
year. The American has published the
speeches and essays of the delegates,
many of them in full, and others in syn
opsis. Nearly every state in the Union Is
represented. But nowhere is Kansas
mentioned. She has evidently taken a
back seat Accustomed as our people are
to occupying a conspicuous place in pub
lie assemblages of this character, Kansas
seems in this instance to have been
crowded into the background. Is this
because Governor Lewelling appointed
lot of nobodies and nonentities, of which
he has a large collection always at hand
to choose from, to go to Nash
Vile? 1t isn't the least of
things for Kansas people to complain
of that their financial standing has
been hurt by the accession Of the Popu-
lists to power. 1t is because the state
has been insulted intellectually as well.
While the Populists have few brainy
people among them, who not wet
blanket in any assemblage of bright peo-
pie. there are a host of them occupying
places Of prominence who are like
quackinG ducks among swans; particular
ly when sent to a convention to represent
Kansas The fact that Kansas is not
putting her best foot forward when mat
ters of culture, taste and education are
in question, is what is Notifying to the
best people of our state. We have a col
lection of delegates at Nashville just
now who don't dare open their mouths
among their intellectual Supporters, or if
they do, no heed is paid to them
