AsToRIA's ORGANIC LAW.

There are eight days in which the
thoughtful Astorian may study the
public expression Of the new charter.
In that time he must make up his
mind as to the relative merits Of the
fifteen new phases Of organic law en-
braced in the work of the commits
sion. This paper has it's ideas in this
behalf pretty well In hand and has no
particular fight to make, at present,
upon any of the amendments, save
that which invades the safe and
wholesome autonomy of the Astoria
Water Commission, and seeks to "po-
liticalize" it, for the benefit of the
bosses. This is utterly uncalled for
upon any hypothesis of expediency or
better government, and we warn those
who are urging the measure that they
must carry their campaign to the
source of last resort before they shall
realize their contention. We think
but indifferently of some Of

CANNON TOO EMPHATIC.

The Lincoln CNeb.) Star claims
the Democratic campaign text book
bases Its tariff argument uopn the err
roneous assumption that Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon is Congress. "Ad-
mitting,' says the editor, "that he is
rather a forceful person and that he
has much to do with the management
and regulation of that distinguished
body, or at least a branch Of 1t, we
must deny that even one who would
make so pleasant boss as Uncle Joe
is the 'whone thing congressionally
speaking.
"Mr. Cannon is going UP and down
the country making what the Demo-
cratic press Is pleased to term stand
pat speeches. Mr.. Cannon has his
own ideas regarding the tariff, and
as a protectionist he is as Jealous as
lifelong adherent to principle
could be. Neither is Mr.. Cannon a
prOlecIlOElSL 10 tne eAIelL VI DriuB q
foe to reciprocity. While he is slight
ly behind his party on the latter ques-
tion, he Is still in favor of the general
principle Of reciprocity"
The editor is of the opinion that
while his (Cannon) views need some
revision very materially with relation
to the subject of the tariff, he could
not make all the existing schedules
sacred If he would, and he would not
If he could. He is rather too empha-
tic in his stand pat declarations, but
back of this is his wise assertion that
IL the tariff is to be changed at all
1t had better be changed by Its
friends.
Even If the Speaker were so dis
posed, he could not prevent the tar
iff legislation which is almost sure to
come during the next session Of Con-
gress. An extension Of the prir-
ciple of reciprocity in conformity with
the ideas Of Blaine and Mckinley is
one of the commercial essentials Of
the day."

of the doctrine that hedges and am

hand when the party that compelled

able agency in the conservation Of

by the people all over the country. To
ignore the situation will be a grave
blunder and II will be made the most

case, at least. closely in touch with

A DELIBERATE TURN-DoWN.

One OF the rankest cases of discrim-
ination against the port of Astoria or
the part of the shipping agents Of
Portland tand, in strict conformity
with their program to hammer this
place In all commercial matters) has
been made manifest in the orders re-
ceived by the captain of the French
bark Emperor Menelik. from Ant
werp. with $4,000 barrels Of cement.
10000 Of which belongs to the South
ern Pacific company. and are to be
used in the construction of its line
from Drain to Coos Bay.
The stuff was consigned to w. p.
Fuller G. Company, of Portland, but
on the arrival of the ship here, the
Southern Pacific people suddenly
concluded 1t would be more conven-
lent for them to have their share of
the cargo discharged at Astoria and
re-shipped hence to Coos Bay, and,
backed by the agents Of the charter
ers, w. P. Fuller & Company, filed a
request with the captain and his
owners. to permit the 10000 barrels
to be disembarked at this place.
Captain Moret at once put himself
in communication with his owners
on the subject and finally received
imperative orders from the owners
agent at Portland to bring his ship
to that port and dock his cargo there.
and this, after the consignees had
sent representative here with full
authority to cover the full line of ex-
pense and provide for all contingent
cies that might arise in the trans
fer.
It only goes to show the deliberate
purpose of the shipping interests at
the metropolis to hog the last item
Of commercial prestige and deny this
port anything that might contribute
to the convenience Of the trade and
the consequence Of Astoria as de-
pot. There was absolutely nothing
to hinder such transfer, except the
desire to dominate the situation and
show that Portland was the only place
In Oregon that might be considered.
1t was contemptibly small, but who'll
ly within the measure of Portland.
And while our hammer is in the air,
we desire to say that the Southern
Pacific company in the first instance,
was to blame for not providing char
ter arrangement that would have COM
pretended their convenience and dis
patch In the delivery of the cargo
here. That Is, if that concern is not
altogether innoculated with the anti
Astoria mania that possesses Port
land
