THE REED ROMANCE.

The saving of Mate Dubie and hi:
two companions from the open boat
and the high sea, derelicts from the
wrecked ship Emily Reed, tragic and
bitter as it reads in the dispatches
will be turned to romance when the
weight and horror of it have passed
from the minds of the victims. 1t
will become the tale of their lives and
go to heighten and color the revealed
history of the men, as tens of thou
sands of other stories have been given
forth to charm and interest mankind.
1t is the old, old tale of chance, cour-
age, endurance and timely rescue,
ever new and ever engaging ,and con-
tsitutes the principal fascination of
the endless and thrilling history of
the hoary old main. All men are
supremely glad these three are alive
and that the chronicle of death sent
up to us from the Nehalem has been
abated by the sum of their lives.

FEAR IN BATTLE.
Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Waa Afraid.

Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.
Some Of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their first battles with feeling Of fear
In their hearts.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at the battle Of Molwitz. Had
he not been king II Is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat Of the car
mage he got an idea that the army un.
der his command was being over.
whelmed. so he put the spurs to bis
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild flight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding In an
old mill. awaiting, as he thought, cap.
ture by the enemy. Then he discover.
ed that the army he deserted had won
the battle.
As Frederick was prince, every.
body tried to forget the incident Just
as quickly as possible. And after that
when the king went to war he was
Just as brave as any other soldier.
General Grant In his memoirs tells
Us that, despite the fact that he was
not new to the ways Of war, he had
strange fear In his heart when as com.
mander Of the Union forces he found
himself on the eve Of his first battle
Of the civil war. He adds, however.
that he came to find that "the other
fellow" had similar feeling.
In American history there Is no more
reckless warrior than the dashing Light
Horse Harry Lee. II seems strange,
therefore, to find that at the outset of
the Continental struggle Washington
had to reprove him for his prudence"
In battle. Lee, though, up and told
Washington that he was Just as brave
as the general In chief, and he made
good his word Cleveland Plain Dealer.

THE BOX ORDINANCE.

The ordinance prohibiting private
boxes in saloons in this city has pass
ed, to the abounding credit of the
common council, and the infinite good
of the city.
There is no element of the saloon
business in America so prolific OF
shame and ruin and criminal accom-
plishment as this one phase. 1t has
been the curse of every community
that permitted it and its abrogation
has ever been the sign for the break
ing up of hundred kindred evils.
1t has been the lurking place of the
thief, the wanton, the macque, and OF
their victims, men and women, boys
and girls; it has been the pivotal
spot where thousands OF young lives
have been turned to utter and hope
less wrong and to its hideous secrecy
half the crime of the country can be
traced.
1t has no reason for existence save
the one sole reason of its opportuness
and privacy in the doing of foul and
debauching deeds ;and its fellow in
the restaurant is practically as bad
The Astoria council is to be CON
congratulated on having wiped out
the most vicious thing in existance
here; and the hope is very general
that no federation will ever be con-
ceded in the future.

WE DON'T WANT WAR.

1t might do some of our friends up
Portland-way good to ponder on the
figure Astoria would cut in the event
OF a war between this country and
Japan; how the interest of the whole
Northwest would center here, where
the only protection the inland valleys
have against invasion is located; and
especially if England, in conformity
with her treaties, should close the
Straits of Fuca to our commerce and
our navy. 1t is just passing thought
but it has meat in it for those who
are disposed to treat the mouth of
the Columbia as mere bagatelle.

A CREDIT TO OREGON.

The re-opening OF the Merchants
National Bank at Portland on Mon
day last and the features Of its first
days business are gratifying to the
whole people OF Oregon, since il
looms as, complete exoneration oi
the methods and policies OF house
that was closed almost at the behest
of wanton suspicion, and shows that
the same strong policy that marks
the banking business OF the State, was
in force there, as in all other institu
tions. Everybody wishes it entire
and uninterrupted success from this
day on.
The rehabilitation of the Mer-
chants National Bank and its cor
dial treatment at the hands of those
who held nearly million in its
vaults, and withdrew but $4,000 from
it when its doors did open after II
weeks of inactivity, constitute a re-
markable variance in the attitude of
the people toward the Title, Guar
anty & Trust Bank and its shameful
status, accentuating, and adding i'm
to the general confidence in
the banking business of the State. 1t
is a revelation that will stand the
business in good stead henceforth
and should contribute proof of the
irrational and groundless suspicion
that is at times permitted to undo the
and safest of banks.
