SIDE LIGHTS.


days ago, with the above heading, Is
well worth a reproduction as a matter
OF especial interest to our citizens. What
city Astoria would be under the mari
time policy OF Great Britain. The edi-
torial is as follows: "Mr Richard p.
Joy, Of Detroit, Michigan. has put in
pamphlet form some facts that may not
be familiar to the general reading pub
lie. These facts throw some light upon
the decline and fall of the American
merchant marine and the rise and prog
ress OF the British merchant marine
While our cousins across the pond were
preaching free trade, they were prac-
ticing protection To quote from the
pamphlet:
"In 1888 the first British steamers to
cross the Atlantic appeared in our ports,
and the next year the Cunard line of
steamers was announced to run regular
ly between Liverpool and New York. 1t
was subsidized at $425,O0O annually by
the British government; this sum prov
Ing insufficient, the pay was increased
to $556,OOO in 1910, but still failing to
realize profits. Cunard had its subsidy
raised to $7S5,OOO. He enlarged his steam
ers in 1852 and again his pay was raised,
this time to $3.50, 900, to give him enough
protection to beat the Collins American
line, the British premier advising Cum
ard 80 1t was said at the time. to run
without freight If necessary. to kill of
Collins. In 1858 congress came to the
aid of Cunard, and his government took
off the subsidy protection under which
Collins had started and run his ships
and then the victory was easy and full
frelghts might be carried
'It is not claimed that congress II
taking the subsidy from the Collins linz
was knowingly acting in the interest o.
Great Britain. But the policy congress
adopted was exactly the policy Eng
land would have suggested If sugges
lions had been in order The congress
of that period failed to comprehend tina
an American line depending upon legiti
mate business could not compete witt
line that was receiving sS50.000 from
the government. The present congress
proposes to enact law which will af
ford England q market for her surplus
vessels. The American fancy Is to b.
tickled with the spectacle Of British
built vessels steaming into foreign port
with the stars and stripes flying at thei
mastheads.
"The value of the ocean-carryint
trade Is considerable. In the last fisca
year the United States paid for SET
conveyance OF United States mails thu
sum Of $449, ,4O5. of which American yes
sells received practically nothing. Th,
receipts from freight and passenger ser
vice was estimated at 5000, 900, 900. o
which American vessels got absolutely
nothing. The Democrats think they
want free trade In ships. free competi
ton for the ocean-carrying trade. They
propose to withhold subsidies from al
American lines apparently unmindfu
that the subsidies which England pays
English companies will enable them tc
hold the trade they have gained"

RESENT IT. DEMOCRATS.

10 one unused to Oregon politics II
seems little strange to see the leader
OF one political party directing the af-
fairs and campaign of another, to the
extent, even, Of debating who shall OF

II was a Democratic convention that
met In Astoria the other day. and
that the ticket nominated at that
convention was composed of Demo-
Gratis, and good ones, too. Then
what does It mean that Gov Pennoyer
should "calr' on Hon. william Gallo

and endeavor to persuade" him to get
of the ticket, as Indicated In our Port
land dispatch of yesterday? Ye gods!
what spectacle before the shades OF
Jefferson and Jackson. Here Is degen-
elacy for you, brethren, The idea that
man on the platform that Gov, Pen
noyer stands on; that man who rep
resents the principles that Pennoyer ad-
vocates; that a man holding % the fall
lacies and heresies in political economy
that Pennoyer is known TO sincerely be.
lieve In--the idea that such a political
monstrosity should approach dis
clple and follower OF the immortal JEFF
ferson and order him 10 insult the peo-

to the highest ONCE in the state by a

THE BEST OF REASONS.

The reason why AlIcock's Porous
Plasters are popular is that they may
be relied on to cure:
l. Lame back, sciatica, stiffness or
twitching of the muscles.
2. Chest troubles, such as pleurisy,
pneumonia, consumption.
8. Indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness,
kidney complaint.
The success, however, will depend up
on the genulneness OF the PLASTER used.
The popularity of Allcock's Porous
Plasters has been so great that multi
tudes of limitations have sprung up on
every hand. The only sure cure is to
get the genuine Allcock's Porous Plas-
ters.

FASHION NOTES.

An Ideal Summer Dress-Bodices ana
 SIeeves-Hats and Bonnets.
 The ideal summer dress of black wool is made of Priestley Henrietta cloth. For seaside and general utility there is nothing in the market that gives such complete satisfaction Storm, shine or any ordinary hard usage that would ruin other materials has scarcely per ceptible effect on this queen of fabrics.
 Bodices are shown in extreme styles, some of them so severely plain that they would be almost painful except for artistic effects in trimming. Others are so loaded with frills and fixings that the distinctive character of a waist seems to be almost a secondary consideration
 Wide-brimmed hats are gotten up in extremely picturesque style. They are trimmed a good deal, but the trim mings are so carefully arranged and artistically adjusted that, while there Is any quantity of them, they dc not suggest any overdone effect.
 Sleeves are said to be growing larger. In q dress recently ordered, seven yards of material were put into the sleeves. 5 Of course, it takes a great deal to make the sleeve itself, but there are rutties and puffs and crimpings world without end.
 Poke bonnets of shirred materiai arc popular. They have inside trimming arranged after the old fashions, 2 wreath of flowers sometimes being yias ihle above the crimped and waved from

cIers, those about Mounts Whitney, Lyell, Ritter and Dana being the finest. These gla aciers being especially noticeable from the fact that they are diminishing in former times they were of gigastie size and filled the great basins like the Kings river cam yon and the Yosemite, but now they have dwindled down to less than a mile in length, but retaining all the characteristics of glaciers. Lyen glacier is an example of this recession. To-day it is hardly mile in length, while in former years it reached from the present bed of Toulumne creek, half a mile upward, half mile of solid blue ice. All of these glaciers are well worth visit, and the American. at least. need not visit Europe when his own country is so well supplied. Francisco Call.
