AN HISTORICAL FLIGHT.

On next Monday morning, while AS
toria is still aslumber, there will emerge
from the great land-heads OF Hampton
Roads. the magnificent fleet OF American
war vessels, 10 in number. and standing
for the glory OF the nation, bound for
this coast, and incidentally, for this
port, along with other havens that can
accommodate it with safety and con-
yenience The fight ofthis splendid fleet,
equipped, officered and manned. to per-
lection, will be an historical event the
denizens of neither coast will forget,
and the impression win be worldwide
as we'll; for the significance OF the voy-
age lies in its wonderful program of
unifcation, power, manipulation and ac-
complishment, an open challenge to the
warning earth, that America has her
hand on the mastery OF the seas and
proves the claim, in the hour OF peace,
that it may not be forgotten in the
hour of arbitrament.
The Pacific Coast people will have a
warm welcome for the white messengers
of the nations might and there will be
doings while they linger out here. The
popular right to behold this evidence OF
a great country's pride and strength
should not be in the least abridged and
every waterway OF the Pacific should be
graced by the fleet in its entirety. As
toria wants to see it, and probably will;
and Portland, too will assert claim,
and the Sound cities. So it is barely
possible that Fighting Bob will have
to make up comprehensive itinerary
for his beautiful machines OF war that
will keep him and his officers busy.

UNDER THE BAN.

While there are hundreds of its
members utterly free from the dreadful
reproach that now attaches to the West.
ern Federation Of Miners as an organiza-
tion, the fact remains that 1T is under
the ban OF popular and wellfounded de-
testation. It's records are abhorrent in
so many particulars that it is at last,
impossible to absolve it even upon the
most generous principle of forbearance.
And before it can ever again hold justi-
fable place among the fraternities Of
the people, 1T must purge itself radically
and openly and brayely. The ordinary
citizen will have none OF it; it Is foul
with wrong, injustice, intolerance, arson,
murder and other unforgivable crimes
too numerous to catalogue. That its
original purposes were as normal and
excellent as any other Of the great labor
organizations Of America goes without
saying but these have been gradually
subverted by the insane course Of its ad-
ministrators, until it is an offense in
mind and memory; and it will remain
so, until the good men on its rolls shall
take over the reins of its progress, and
reyivify the cardinal merit that gave It
birth and sustenanee. .

WHATS IN A NAME?'

The Portland & Seattle Railway Com
pany" is the style and title of that es-
sentially new Hill transportation system
with terminals at Spokane and Astoria,
which. no where, on its four or five
hnrdred miles of trackage, approaches
Seattle ty less than l59 miles OF dis
tance. This sets up an incongruity in
its official style that is too conspicuous
for comment, except to bolster our re-
spectful suggestion that supplementary
articles OF Incorporation be filed by its
owners and the name be changed to con-
form to its route, its great depots and
termini.
They who gave the name to the road
in its conception probably had excellent
reason for the way in which it was
framed up, but, from the newer destiny
of the line, and its avowei. and appar-
emily confirmed, objects, it strikes us
that change is quite within the mani
fest Iiay Of events in this connection.
We do not hesitate to say that As
toria, as one OF the terminals and per-
haps its most important one, is anxious
to figure in the change if any be made
We are proud of the fact that we are
where we are and shall be glad ii the
world is given to know our relation to
what will, unquestionably, be one OF the
famous railway systems of the country;
and to this end, we have yentured to
make the hint as plain as possible that
Seattle can safely be cut from the title
and the same changed SO as to compre-
bend what really belongs to the line and
is significant Of its route and relation.
We shall venture even bit further and
beg the privilege of intimating that 0The
Astoria, Portland & Spokane Railway"
or "The Spokane, Portland & Astoria
Railway" or "The Portland, Astoria 4 |
Spokane aRilway,' would apply much |
more amply and adequately in convey
ing to an interested public the real
genus OF the great road, and save world |
of time in future explanations of the
existing and misleading nomenclature
now prevailing. This, with all due re-
