The sarmiento viii Take Crew of
Amcricans-ArrivaI of the Ship Centen-
NAL.
Chase, Leavitt & Co. received tele-
gram yesterday from Fortress Munroe
announcing that the bark Elmiranda was
ready for sea and would sail for Por tland
that morning. Captain John P. Williams
of this city, who is in command, has
written letter to the owners here, which
shows how severe time the bark had.
She left New York on the 9th bound for
Portland, but ran right into the heavy
northeastern and was driven towards
Hampton Roads. From that time until
the 18th, the bark was in the most immi-
nent danger of laundering, and the ships
crew suffered the most utter privations.
The coal shifted SO that the vessel was
thrown nearly onto her beams ends, and
three of the crew
Died From Exposure and Fright,
as Captain Williams puts it. The men
who persisted were shipped in New York
and their names are unknown here.
The Elmiranda will probably arrive in
Portland very soon. She is staunch
vessel or she would never have weathered
it.
The bark Sarmiento, which is lying in
the lower harbor, ready to sail to Buenos
Ayres with a cargo Of lumber for r.,
Lewis q Co., is manned by
A Remarkable Crew.
Every man of them but one is an Amer
lean and most of them are from Ports
land. Shipping Commissioner Tewks-
bury says that he has not known SINH
lar instance since he has had charge of
the office. The captain is Charles Hut
ton of Portland, the first mate William
a. Burns of Portland; second mate, I.
Mcdonald of Portland; lcook, john Fl.
Jones of Portland; and among the crew
are the following belonging in Portland:
VIM. N. Johnston, Chester G. Sears, Bert
c. Hight, James Clarke and Edward Nc
Donald. The only foreigner in the crew
is seaman from Ireland, John Maxim.
The
Ship Centennial
arrived in the harbor yesterday. in tow
of the tug Wrestler of New Bedford. She
will load lumber for the Argentine Re-
public from Frank Dudley. The Cen
tennial is fine ship and was built in
East Boston in 1875. Her captain is R.
F. Colcord of Searsport and the mate ].
Sweetsir of Searsport Her last trip was
from Hong Kong for New York with

trict to elect him to Office. he is simply
and plainly an unvarnished scoundrel.
No honest man would enter into COM
bination of such character for the sake
of an office. No man entertaining any
high regard for the nature of the political
institutions under which we live would
enter into an agreement to find conclu
sion OF judgment before testimony justi-
tying such judgment had been presented.
Suppose after Mr.. LaRue had heard the
evidence which might be adduced against
the horizontal reduction recommended
in his platform his judgment would be
convinced that it would be confiscatory-
that is plain, unadulterated stealing and
robbery to make the reduction-there
would be conflict between his pledge
and his conscience. if he has any.
But the most important consideration
remains to be noted. The man who, for
the sake of electing himself to Office, will
take pledge to discharge the functions of
that office unjustly and unfairly to any
part of his constituency is not a man to
be trusted by the people. In its very
essence the pledge is dishonest. and the
man who takes it is dishonored.
Let Mr.. LaRue mark carefully this
language: No honest man will take a
pledge which would so far forestall his
action in office as TO bind him to a course
OF injustice toward a portion of his con-
stituency. and if Mr.. LaRue is before
this public upon a pledge which forces
him 10 find judgment as a member of a
evidence, he is simply playing the part
OF rogue and hypocrite for the emolu-
ments of public position. If Mr.. LaRue
is not using this promise to corrupt the
voters of this Railroad Commissioner
District. he is playing the part of pre-
tender by hiding behind the pledge his
acceptance of the nomination implies.
The only course ne can pursue in this
matter is to repudiate the pledge un-
equivocally and explicitly. Until he
does so, he jeopardizes his eligibility to
take the office. In short Mr.. LaRue has
either taken that pledge or has repudi-
ated it, and we have right to ashland
we will repeat this demand until it is
answered-Does Mr.. LaRue pledge him
self 10 reduction of % per cent. in the
rates of transportation in the State of
California or does he repudiate that
pledge?

TO Itselfis simply one of the covenants of
TINS contract. 1t will find strict construe-
tioh and is capable of no other construc-
uon than that the Government was to be
content with the recovery of the property
in the construction of which the money
loaned had been used. Those who think
Otherwise are merely entertaining self
deceptive illusion.
now how will it rob the people of Cali
lornia for the Government to extend the
time of the payment of the debt? The
railroads cannot assess the debt, nor its
interest, upon the shipper. The Bulletin
and all its anti-railroad compeers have
been declaring that the railroad is now
charging all the traffic viii bear. Did the
bulletin and its compatriots tell the truth
when 1t said that the traffic was now
loaded up with all it could bear, or did it
talsify? If the traffic is already charged
all it can bear, it can bear no more. And
yet the Bulletin and its kind are found
w o9oOAb IIdk blO IdI6S Ol tTduS-
portation will be raised. If they can be
raised and find traffic to be carried at the
higher figure, then the traffic is not al
ready charged all it can bear.
The truth is, however, that there are
seven overland railroad lines capable of
billing goods to the Pacific Ocean, direct
to San Francisco, on through bills of
lading from Eastern through points.
The Central and Union Pacific as a con-
Meeting line cannot raise the rates.
Those rates are determined wholly by
other factors than the amount of in
debtedness of the road and the rate of
annual interest which must be earned.
The cost of operating a railroad in any
section of the country may influence rail-
road rates in that section upon all lines,
but rates of transportation are not made
with reference to what railroad can af-
ford specifically. They are the evolu-
tionary result OF other factors and the one
leading factor is competition. Next TO it
stands the conservation of the volume of
tonnage. These things fix a definite
limit beyond which no rate can be OBJ
tanned. Overland traffic is bearing that
rate OF transportation determined by all
the factors which enter into computa-
tion of this kind, and the tendency is to
reduce them year by year. This
tendency is inherent and cannot be re-
sisted. 1t has been going on steadily
under the eyes of the Bulletin and public
notice. Everybody knows that rates
have been reduced with each sue
cessive year. and this process will go on
whether the Pacific railroads owe much
or little to the Government.
Perhaps, after all, the Bulletin wants
to be understood as desiring that the
Government shall give up all hope of
collecting what is due. Let the first
mortgage take the road and let the new
proprietors at the foreclosure sale operate
the road from the standpoint of its first
mortgage Indebtedness only. The
Bulletin demands that there shall be no
extension of time, and yet if it knows
anything whatever on the subject worth
knowing, it knows that the refusal to
extend the time simply turns the road
over to the holders of the first mortgage
bonds.
The record-union., 1894-09-26
Is HE PLEDGEDa

The Democratic State Convention
pledged its Railroad Commissioners to a
horizontal reduction of 25 per cent in the
rates of transportation. II. NJ. LaRue is
candidate for Railroad Commissioner
on the Democratic ticket in this Commits
sioner District. Is he pledged to this
horizontal reduction?
If so, he should so state plainly and
unequivocally to the public. We call
upon the candidate to declare his POSI-
| ton in this matter, and our right to do
this will be unquestioned, since it is
obvious that his proposed constituency
has right to know. Let him, therefore,
over his own signature, declare that if
elected Railroad Commissioner he will
reduce the rates to the shipper 25 per
cent.
By saying this he will disqualify him
self from holding the Office. 1t has long
since been a settled principle OF law that
whoever offers bribe to the voter In the
way of valuable consideration disquallfies
himself from office-holding. Many in
stances can be cited where candidates for
Office have promised their constituency
| that they would not draw their full
salary. or that they would serve for half
the salary. In all such cases, where a
! judicial test has been made, the courts of
last resort have decided that it is contrary
to public policy to offer a valuable con-
sideration to the electors; that such offer
is in the nature of a bribe, and therefore
an encouragement to venality. And this
is the species of venality in which MIR.
LaRue is now engaged. He offers to a
shipper who is an elector in his district a
| reduction in his rates of transportation if
| he will vote for him. At least, he will so
offer if he approves the platform of the
| Democratic party.
And this is the question we desire to
have decided now. Does Mr.. La Rue
stand upon the platform of his party? Is
he before the public buying votes and
| paying for them in reduction of rail-
road rates? On the other hand, if Mr..
La Rue does not approve of this species
of corruption, let him say so. The office
he seeks is judicial in its nature. Under
the constitutional provision, the Board
of Railroad Commissioners is a fourth
department of government, measure
ably independent of other departments.
| 1t has the power TO hear and determine.
and its judgments are to be reached only
after such hearing and by such determi-
nation as is consistent with the evidence
presented. That a candidate seeking a
judicial position would pledge himself to
a line of conclusion before the hearing is
not an evidence of patriotism, nor OF
good citizenship, nor of personal, pri-
vate honesty. 1t is an evidence of will
ingness on the part of such candidate to
| prostitute the functions of an Office for
the sake of its emoluments. For Illus
tration, if Mr.. La Rue stands upon the
platform of his party. agreeing before
hand to find conclusion reducing the
rates of transportation by horizontal
cut of 25 per cent, and offers this as an

L1FE ON rHn OCEAN WAVE.


The pilot schooner San Jose, after
loading supplies, went to sea yester-
day afternoon. She struck compara-
lively smooth sea outside, only long
ocean swells that would not have been
noticeable from the mainland.
The life of the bar pilot is not all
sunshine, as great many people are
prone to imagine, for he passes many
a sIeepless night on the turbulent
ocean, and here in the city, when the
land lubber is toasting his toes before
a cheerful CRATE fire, and listening to
the winds bowling without and the
rain pouring in torrents against the
window pane, there is little thought of
the tiny schooner tossing on the white
crested waves outside the bar, her
half-dozen passengers eagerly watching
for the coming Of the morn, all on the
alert to keep the little vessels head
well to the sea and away from the
rugged coast. One pleasant feature
about the pilots life is. that each has
his turn at the incoming vessels. and
as each pilot leaves. the remaining
ones take turns at the wheel, or act
as skipper of the schooner.
The San Jose has braved some heavy
i5torms, and is certainly a stamnch
little craft, for she always turns up
without scratch.

DEATH OF MRS. MARGARET WEST

Mrs. Margaret West, mother Of Da'
vid West and wife of John West, Of
Westport, died Tuesday night at Mar
guam, Oregon.
Mrs. West was we'll known TO every
pioneer in the state, having come to
Oregon in 1856, when, with her hus-
band and family, a settlement was
made at Westport, the town named af-
ter the family.
Mrs. West was the mother of five
surviving children, three daughters
and two sons, Mrs. Robert Scott, of
Woodlawn; Mrs. e. Skirvtn, of Mar
guam; Mrs. James Mcclure, of Sunny
side, and Messrs. David and Robert
West, of Westport.
The remains of the deceased will be
transported to this city by rail, and
Mr.. David West was in the city last
night endeavoring to charter a boat to
take the last that is mortal of his
mother to Westport, where she will be
buried near the site Of her early mar
ried life.-Sun.
