A. McBRIDE. The distinguished honor conferred upon Hon. T. A. McBride by Govern nor Benson, in appointing him to the supreme bench of the State of Ore gon, is a deserving recognition of the services of one of the most distin guished jurists in the sate. When it was announced that the appointment had been made, it met with the uni versal approval of not only the bar of Oregon, but of its citizenship. No man stands higher in the estimation of the public than the veteran jurist No man who has been on the circuit bench for nearly 20 years, has given so general statisfaction, both to attor neys and litigants. On the bench his decisions were given with distinct ness and fairness, irrespective of per sonal feeling toward his friends. It was a universal comment among at torneys that Judge McBride was sel dom reversed by the higher courts, indicating his fairness and knowledge of law. In his mingling among men, off the bench, he was affable, kind hearted. courteous and possessed a peculiar , faculty of making friends. On the bench he was dignified, impartial in his decisions, conscientious and just in his administration of justice, tem pering mercy with justice, and this characteristic won him many friends among the people. His appointment to the important place on the su preme bench will be of incalculable v : . . : .M . i i ..a uw -m! leeal acumen and capabilities will tend to make the highest tribunal in the state one of the safest in the ren dition of important decisions submit ted to it In the appointment of Judge Mc Bride. Astoria has lost a valued, tried and true friend. The state has gained an eminent jurist whom all respect and honor. While the honor con ferred was a recognition of his valu 1 -Li. :- - ,. . . .. . . . Oregon, and when in future years the history of the state is written, Judge Thomas A. McBride will hold a high and exalted position in its annals. and will ever be remedied for the good he has done to mankind. FISHING SITUATION. .

While the last session will go down in history as one of the most pernicious, the failure of affording adequate protection to one of the largest industries of the state cannot but meet with universal con demnation. To intimate that error were committed in framing the fish ing laws, is but to throw the. mantle of charity around the members of the law-making body of this common wealth. If the truth were known, it is evident that the framers of the present law were actuated more by a disposition to grant special privileges to a certain section, against the larg est section, irrespective of its ulti mate results. As the matter now stands, instead of protecting the great industry, it has been prostituted to the avaricious incentive of the Willamette river fish ermen, who have always been a dis turbing factor in securing adequate laws. Instead of protecting the in dustry and allowing the spring sal mon, the Royal Chinook, to ascend to the natural spawning grounds, the legislature threw down the barriers in the interests of a handful of irre sponsible fishermen, who have no in terest in the protection of the indus try, their only object being to take advantage of the ignorance of the legislature on the important subject for their personal and private inter ests and gain. ' It is now conceded, that the only possible chance of protecting this great industry, is to place it in the hands of the general government, and not delegate it to the machinations Sof those who hare no interest, aside of a selfish one. In the general government, the industry will be protected. In the hands of non- de-scripts who controlled the recent legislature, if continued along present lines, will ultimately result in its ex tinction, and when this has been accomplished no future remedial legislation will restore it The indus try belongs to the people, irrespec tive of locality, and the duty devolves j Upon the law making power to throw around it every possible protection not onlv for the present, but for jnut v PeTlir- i .

And, furthermore, the house, speak ing from experience, holds that the senate will not be so cock-sure re garding the tariff after another week. San Francisco is clearly entitled to the medal France presents; if she can shake off her gang of grafters she will deserve another. And, again, those tornadoes in Kan sas remind us that Oregon has a mighty good climate. If you do not read the advertise ments in The Astorian, you overlook .some valuable opportunities. The annual blossoming of the New Mexico statehood bill is further evi dence that spring is here. The Butte pool sellers are making a hard fight, but their game was al ways a strong one. Whether you play ball or not you should help the local team now or ganized and boost it along. Turkey is being served this week with hot dressing. Many an artist's model wouldn't make a model wife. The man who figures in an explo sion usually begins at the bottom and goes up. When a man has his picture taken in an automobile it's a pretty safe bet that he doesn't own it. The hotel clerk knows nearly all that is worth knowing, but he doesn't know why a woman persists in ask- ng what time the 6:20 train lcaes. Anyway, if a man is in debt it proves that he once had credit. Women distrust men too much in general and not enough in particular. New York Letter NEW YORK, April 17.-Every large and populous city has to con tend with certain difficulties which arise from the very cause of its site and population. All large cities, no matter where and how they are lo cated, have some troubles, but New York seems to have more than any other city. The magnitude and mul tiplicity of New York's troubles and difficulties is primarily due to the pec uliar location of the city and the un avoidable distribution of the popula tion over one peninsula and a number of islands. Bridges and terries, and even tunnels are, in a way, good enough means of connecting bodies of land separated from each other by rivers or arms of the sea. but all these connections become as mere trails for a marching army when they are expected to offer means for con veying millions of men, women and children from one part of the city to another within a space of about two hours. The traffic problem is undoubtedly New York's greatest bugbear. For fully half a century New York has had to contend with this problem and although some relief was obtained from time to time by the extension and development of the various means of interurban passenger-traffic, the difficulties continued to grow in pro portion to the increase of the business and the population of the city. The building of additional subway lines would undoubtedly give much relief, but, unfortunately a peculiar combination of conditions makes the construction of additional lines prac tically impossible. Under the law subways cannot be built by private capital and the City is unable to build subways because it has no money and cannot even borrow enough, having almost reached the limit of its per missible indebtedness. Efforts are in progress to so change the laws that subways may be built by private cap ital or that the city may disregard the debt-limit law in borrowing money for subway purposes. Two interesting celebrations were held here the other day. One was a champagne dinner in honor of a wo man who had been servant in the same family for fifty years, without ever asking for a day off or for an in- !crease m. p.a.y; . the other was a ban quet with liquid retreshments ana speechesin honor of the' 213th birth day of "Lady Jennie" who is said to be the oldest elephant in captivity in hands of the'thii country. The authenticity of the fifty years devotion Ot tne royai ser vant is beyond dispute, but there is some suspicion as to the exactness of the date of "Lady Jennie's birth. The ice-trust has been busy all winter in preparing for the coming summer season and is now in a posi-1 tion to raise the price of the useful J commodity it controls to any amount it mav chose to exact The harvest of natural ice has been reoucea , IIUIMIIIMIII aU, uuu . ..... i- j of the ice supply, most of the ice fac tories were kept closed during the winter. The result is an absolutely inadequate supply of ice. which has already given an excuse to the trust of raising the ice prices 100 per cent. Further raises will be made from time to time, as the trust sees fit. A fine prospect for the poor consumers. A certain Justice of the Peace in Belleville, N. J., who makes a spec ialty of performing marriages, is a firm believer in the effectiveness of advertising. Finding business in his particular line somewhat dull lately,. he decided to advertise. Among the inducements held out by him in his advertisements are a present to the Bride, an air of solemnity at the cere mony, ushering the prospective bride and bridegroom into his parlors to the strains of a wedding march, his daughter and granddaughter both be ing good musiciaus, and a large floral bell under which the ceremony is per formed. That surely should be enough to "fetch them." In this era of political grafting and official corruption it is quite refresh ing to read of some town where such official crookedness is at low tide. Judging from a story that made its way into the papers the other day, Stamcord, Con., must be such a model town. A member of the Common Council, who had been elected on th reform ticket, was orrestcd for steal ing milk i nfront of stores. How re freshing that sounds. Official grafting must indeed be an unknown offense in that fortunate town, if members of the Common Council have to resort to stealing bottles of milk- Just ima gine a New York alderman doing such a thing! The Professional Chauffeurs club of America, which has its headquarters in New York City, has gone on record as favoring any movement that will put chauffeurs, arrested for violating the speed ordinance, permanently out of business. They hold that men who allow themselves to be caught while speeding their automobiles are in competent and there seems good judgement in that opinion. Good chauffeurs would not allow themsel ves to be caught. They would rather run over a dozen persons than give the bicycle policeman a chance to ar rest them. A Kirl in Williamsburg became vio lently insane the other day and had to be taken to the Mings County Hos pital, after she had attacked several members of her family. The girl had studied music ofr several years and was extremely ambitious to .become a great pianist. Whether too close attention to her musical studies made her insane or whether her abnormal ambition was the result of an unbal anced mind, is not definitely known. Music hath its charms, no doubt, but it also seems to have disturbing ef fect upon the mental equilibrium of too ardent devotes. There are hun dreds, perhaps thousands of young men and women in this city who are laboring under the delusion of being musicians, but unfortunately, only a few of them ever become violent like the girl in Williamsburg. The residents of the negro quarter in East Harlem suffered agonies the other day during a fire on the river front. Not that their property was endangered by the flames, or their lives threatened. Far worse. They were compelled to be eye witnesses to the complete destruction by fire of about 1000 fine chickens which were kept in an enclosure in the tire-swept district and could not be saved. THE PAYNE TARIFF Bill WASHINGTON. D. C. April 17. The Senate debates over the Payne tariff bill promise to monopolize the Washington news for the week. Secretary of War Dickinson will sail from Charleston Tuesday for Co lon to make a personal inspection of the progress of work on the Panama canal. The new torpedo boat detroper Smith, designed to have a greater speed and a wider steaming radius than any other vessel of her type in the United States Navy, will be laun ched Tuesday at Philadelphia. Financiers and speculators are awaiting with interest the report to bt presented to Governor Hughes-early in the week by the investigating com mittee appointed to look into the methods of the various evchange in New York city. The steamship Admiral with Roose velt expedition aboard, is due to reach Mombasa, the seaport town of British East Africa, about the middle of the week. From Mombasa the expedition will proceed into the inter ior by way of the Uganda Railway. A special election wil be held in Cleveland Tuesday for the selection of a successor to Congressman Theo dore E. Burton, recently elevated to the Senate. The Republicans' are confident of the election of their can didate. James H. Cassidy, who was formerly secretary to Congressman Burton. Arguments upon the appeal taken from the decision of-Judge Wright, adiuddinir Samuel Gompcrs. Frank Morrison and John Mitchell in con tempt ofr their alleged violation of the injunction granted against them upon the Petition of the Buck's Stove and Range Company, will begin Mon day before the District ourt of Ap peals in Washington. Three rioted cases are on the crim inal calender for trial in various sec tions of the country. At Flushing, L.I., the trial of Capt. Peter C. Hains Jr., for the murder of William E. An nis at the Bayside Yacht Club last August is scheduled to begin. In Boston, Chester Jordan, brother-in law of Jesse Livermore, the New York cotton speculator, will be put on trial for the murder of his wife. In Kentucky the second trial of the notorious Beach Hargis for the mur der of his father is to take place. Of interest to the commercial world will be a national conference at De troit to discuss the subject of recip rocity with Canada. LATIN-AMERICAN DEAD. NEW YORK, April 17.-Senor Don Miguel Juarez Cellman, presi dent of the Argentine Republic from 1883 until 1890. where he resigned after a revolution died in Buenos Ayres yesterday according to a cable dispatch to the Herald. He will be buried with all the honors that could have been bestowed upon him, were he still in that capacity. ACCIDENT, OR MURDER. CHICAGO, ApriJ 17-Death came to jar the home, of Bartholomew Flynn, a former member of the police department yesterday on the steamer Starrticca, which is moored near the river mouth.

He Is In poor health and Mrs, Carker says that he can remain f her home until he re covers or decides to go elsewhere.
