HILL-HARRIMAN- ASTORIA.

The news of yesterday morning, grant.
ing there is a ray of truth in it, is por-
tentious of good for the country here
amout, and incidentally for the City of
Astoria. We are not having any spasms
about it, however. and win save our
powder for more determinable stuff. We
would be a bit more certain. of things
before throwing any fits over railroad
stories. A blind man can see, how
ever, that if James ]. Hill, wrought to
the pitch of retaliatory measures by the
successes achieved by E. Fl. Hartman in
Seattle, shall set up terminal at or
near the mouth of the Columbia river,
even on te Washington side, and handle
the vast grain produce of the northwest
out of there in bottoms sent to the ut
termost ends of the earth, that the face
of things commercial is sure to change
for Astoria, and for the better. 1t will
be the first step toward centering here
the tremendous exporting business thhat
logically belongs here. 1t will give this
section the common point rate on wheat.
1t viii force Astoria to the front, what
ever the modus be- Hartman must
make a quick and decisive move, hither-
ward, or be cast out OF the field. Such
term in the history of the commerce of
the northwest is one of the essential
verities. 1t was bound to come some
time. No influence could retard it for
all time. And if the pending forecast is
merely strategic bluff, it does not impugn
the certainty of its coming at a later
date. Astoria, like San Francisco, is at
the open door of the wide seas; an in
slant haven, and a logical depot for
maritime business. We hope to see this
matter between these giants of transpor-
tation fructify to the abounding good of
this section nd this city; nd we will not
be surprised if it does, not stonish if it
noes not. The fate of Astoria is not
bound up in the present hour. 1t is
written, by the very hand of nature and
ordained of the simple science of reason
ing, all extraneous influences to the
contrary notwithstanding.

who sat in judgment upon his collision
with the barkentine Jane i. Stanford off
the mouth of the Columbia river is a
direct insult to the integrity of the
latter gentlemen. The case was dis
tinctly plain, and notably bad. And the
taking away of Captain Bonnafeld's
license as master, for a period of one
year, was an exceedingly mild penalty
for his raw evasion of the law of the
sea, in its technical and ethical senses.
It is true Captain Bonnafeld was asleep
in his berth at the moment of the dis
aster. Personally he had no control of
the situation, and was glliltless, save for
unacceptable responsibility THAT always
attaches to a master on the high seas
for the conduct of the officers and men
under him. But his cold -blooded aban-
donment of vessel his own ship had
run down; his failure to stand by and
ascertain the extent of the injuries he
had inflicted; his failing to give even
hail, or sign, or show of sailorly inter

the professional sin that evoked the PEN

THE pElIRIuM OF POWER.

The Emperor of Russia has spoken
the fateful word. He has denied his
people the blessing they sought and Were
led to believe they would be given, In a
very delirium of autocratic madness he
has invoked the reprisal OF destiny and
he and his class are doomed forever in the
country they might have saved and
made glorious. The hour is past. There
will be no rest, no peace, no progress,
in taht land until il is redeemed from
the thrall of inherited domination, and
expands. in the sum of freedom r new
and grand republic, The road to this
summit of racial victory is bitterly hard
and long, and it is to be marked at every
step. with horrid and endless sacrifices,
but it will be passed in time, and old
Russia, with all the bitter wrongs of Il
dozen centuries will find its grave some
where along the dreadful route.

The life of a woman is made up of a
small thing, whether she is a home
maker or a wage-earer. Her cup OF
woe overfows not because supreme
resistless avalanches of grief or difficult
ties is turned into her cup, but because
drop by drop, many infnitesimal
troubles are added until they slip over
the brim. She can always rise to a
great crisis or bear an enormous sud
denly acquired burden, but cannot thrust
aside small grievances. On the other
hand man throws off small disappoint-
ments and petty annoyances, but is
down and out, often times, when great
disaster oyertakes him.

One of the most pleasing pro.
grams was rendered at the Chris

pany. The special numbers gave
proof of personal ability and
the quartet work was smoothe and
pleasing. Miss Connect gave
many excellant readings and was
encored repeatedly. each time re-
spending cheerfully. She is an
elocutionist of rare ability and her
class of work was certainly above
the ordinary. Miss Strong was a
very good accompanist and was
very exact and played with the
touch and expression of an accom-
plished musician. Taking the
entertainment through, it was a
success and the young people
should always have a good attend
