INDEPENDENTS.

The Hearst party has been launch
ed the Independent" party o.
America, is abroad in the land, and
its particular destiny is to defeat
Hon. William J. Bryan for the presi-
dency of the United States. To that
end, it has our deep and devoted good
will; it can ever do anything half SO
good and grateful, and if it succeeds
it will not have lived in vain.
Hisgen and Graves, who lead the
party ticket, figure but lightly in the
huge and wholesome perspective;
they are good men, without doubt
and will do as we'll as any for the
purposes of organization and objec-
tive. We care not who contributes
to the defeat of Bryan, so they do
not forsake the proud quest they have
chosen and later enlist under the
lure of the silver tongue"

ALL IN KNOWING HOW.

The arrival of the wrecked steamer
Minnie E. Kelton, at the O. K. 4 N.
docks in this port, yesterday morning
at II o'clock, on the hawsers OF the
bar tug Tatoosh, Captain William
Bailey, commanding, furnishes les

of benefit to many more or less in
terested in the business.
lust "a hours before that docking,
she was an abandoned derelict on
the shore seas Of Oregon, the open,
free guerdon of any man with skill
and interest enough to go after her
and save her. She has been wrecked
practically three distinct times; once,
and originally, on the Oregon coast
near Yaquina harbor, and twice in
this bay: the last time breaking away
from a carefully devised system OF
preparation for hauling her inland tor
dry-docking. She broke from this,
and was allowed to go her way and
worked in the tides on the inside OF
the Columbia bar from Sunday night
last to the afternoon Of Tuesday when
Captain Bailey, with the Tatoosh,
secured her with lines and set about
towing her to port and safety, there

whatsoever the courts shall allow, but
ridding an important channel OF com

that could beset it.
1t is, apparently, all in knowing
how to do these things. This IS not
said in an invidious way, nor in uil-
friendly spirit, but, taking into con
sideration the immense amount OF
work that has been done upon the
ship from the hour the steamer

Thackeray and the cabman.

Thackeray loved to relate Jokes on
himself, and one he especially enjoyed
was about Reading hackman. The
author was unacquainted with the
town. and the moment he emerged
from the railway station he told a
hackney coachman to drive him TO the
nearest hotel The driver closed the
door tremendously. mounted his box,
and they started In half n minute the
cab was at a standstill, and Thackeray
saw the cabman at the door. bowling
TO him to come out. He did so without
word and found that he was at the
portico of the station hotel, which he
had failed to see was not a dozen yards
off.
But he handed the man shilling
and was entering the hotel, rather
pleased with his own sang froid. when
be was amazed to see the cabman TAX
ing off his coat and offering to fight
him for the other slxpence." 1t ap-
pears that on that day resolution Of
the Reading town council had come
into operation empowering hackney
coachmen to charge IS pence for any
distance within the township This
was its first fruits! 1t is unnecessary
to add that the cahman got his money
and Thackeray good story to tell at
the clubs.

PoRTLAND's ESCAPE.

All Astoria is glad that Portland
escaped the rigors and losses OF a
desperate confagration on Tuesday;
that her buildings and her fire-depart-
ment combined TO spare her the hor-
rors of such a visitation as other
great centers in the country have
known. There was every promise Of
such an outcome, from what eye
witnesses have said on returning to
Astoria; the high-winds and the
shack-food that abounded in the
threatened district; and the entire
incident goes to the very root OF the
fire. problem, to-wit, the perpetual
menace OF the worn-out, dried-out, in
flammable, hideous and repugnant
shack, and the retarding principle OF
brick and stone and high blank walls
to bar and break the fury and range
of the flames.
Such incidents as this in Portland,
make our own position painfully APP
parent to the thoughts that arise on
the heels of such report. Astoria
has been wonderfully immune from
devastating fires; but it is we'll never
to permit such immunity to operate
to the point of convincing Us that
nothing can happen of that sort. We
are prepared in so far as we are able
to prepare against such things, but
we would find it mere bagatelle in
the face of such extraordinary condi
tions as do arise when least expected;
and the lesson at hand, is eternal
vigilance in the home, Office and shop,
since it is TO that quality, as we'll as
to an admirable fire system, we owe
the wonderful freedom we have en-
joyed for years.

A TENTATIVE INTEREST.

Much as Astoria has wanted the
definite interest Of the Northern Pa
cihc Railway Company, OF which she
is, practically, sea terminal, and one
of the largest towns on the system
outside Of Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland, she has never had but
a tentative share OF the concern the
road lavishes on her inland commun-
tiles. We are moved to this by the
text OF an advertisement running in
the "Missoulian" OF Missoula, Mon
tana, in behalf of the roads summer
tourist traffic, all Of which apparently
ends at one of the Sound cities or at
Portland; there is no word OF As
toria, the coast resorts near by, nor
any point west OF Portland and the
Washington cities. 1t has a Charlie
tonian ring about it that don't set
well down here.
The absorption of the Astoria &
Columbia River line by the n. T. put
this city and her contiguous resorts,
al this season at least, well within
the purview of the company's summer
advertising, but it has been remark
ably chary about doing anything con-
spicuously attractive in the way OF
advertising the best summer resorts
in all Oregon, and our people are
noticing it on all sides and comment
ing upon it.
The N. P. officials have allowed
themselves to pose as good friends
Of this section, city and county, but
in reality they have done nothing for,
and a whole lot, against Astoria since
they came into power here. There
has been plenty of talk, but no sub
stantial and favorable action what
ever: and the conclusion is justihable,
and active, hereabout, that we are
getting the worst of it.
This may be polite on the part Of
a new concern like this great road
but we fail to discern the sense or
efficacy of it as an initial program in
the scheme of making friends and
business. 1t is felt here, and the
company will hear of it in the future
if it shall desire certain things that
will be hard to get from commun-
ity with long memory

TAFT ON GOMPERS.
He Flatly Denies Statements of the
Labor Leader.

Mason City, Ia, Ia, Sept 2s.-To an
audience composed of laboring men at
waterloo Judge Taft paid his COM
pnments to Samuel Gompers in the
Following vigorous language:
Mr.. Samuel Gompers has already
delivered the vote to the Democratic
party and that makes it rather hope
less for one who is struggling for the
republican party to deal at all with
the labor question. He seems to have
removed it from doubt by carrying the
vote in his pocket. He leaves no place
outside for me.
Now l venture to think that the
laboring men of this country think for
themselves and have an intelligence
that enables them to take their own
judgment as to the party and the can
didate whom they select. 1t is rather
a cheap method of attacking a candi-
date to say that he is opposed to la
Dor; that he is in favor of depressing
and tyranizing labor, and that he has
nothing in his heart that sympathizes
with labor.
THE only way you can meet that is
to say that it is not so and that is what
I do say. yield to no man in my
sympathy with labor, as a class in its
effort to organize to make itself prop
erly powerful in the community, to
maintain its equality and it's level in
the struggle for life and in dealing
with capital on those issues where its
interests and those of capital are op-
posed

THEY COULD NOT MEET.
Taft and Bryan Tried 1t at Minneapolis
But Failed.

Minneapolis Sept. 2S.-Judge Taft
| and W. J. Bryan exchanged courtesies
here Sunday. Mr.. Bryan arrived about
2 o'clock in the afternoon and imme-
diately sent one of the men travelling
with him to the West Hotel with a
message to Judge Taft that he would
be glad to call on him at the hotel at
$50 in the afternoon. Mr.. Taft sent
word back to the Democrat leader
that he would be glad to see him at
that time. Mr.. Taft was scheduled to
speak at the dedication of a new Y. NJ.
G. A. building in st. Paul at 2:30
o'clock and he hurried back in an au-
tomobile to keep his engagement with
Mr.. Bryan. When he arrived at the
hotel he found message from the Ne
braskan who said that Mr.. Bryan was
very sorry, but that he had forgotten
that he had a dinner engagement at
$50.
Mr.. Bryan suggested if convenient
for Mr.. Taft he would drop in at the
hotel on his way to the railroad station
about Z and shake hands with him.
Mr.. Taft, however. had an engagement
to speak before the congregation of the
