Pot President WILLIAM M'KIXLEY, Of Ohio. For Vice-President THEODOKE ROOSEVELT, Of Sew York. More toan two months have, elapsed and Astoria seeois to have got along pretty well without the luxury of elec tric street lights. There would seem to be little difficulty in bearing with the sana tion for a while longer. Like asphalt pavements, electric lights are a modern metropolitan convenience; very nie to Lave, but like 60 many other good things forbidden to people of small pocket books. Twenty years ago a majority of the people of Astoria had perhaps never even seen an electric liibt. Astoria was a good town then ; some say a better one than she is now. The members of the citv council who saved the eitv the larve sura of money which would have gone to j pav for electric lights in the past two months, besides the liability for the thousands of dollars which the light company undertook to extort by its pro posed long term contract, have earned the everlasting gratitude of the taxpay ers, withont the slightest apparent de privation to the general public.' Asto ria's fight over the attempted light ex tortion will live a long while in the memory of her inhabitants, besides being an inspiration and encouragement to hundreds of other intelligent commcni nitiea in their efforts to emancipate themselves from the grasping tentacles f public utility monopolies, fastened npon them by improvident or co'rnptj municipal enactment. By all means let the good fight in Astoria go on. Let there be no let up or lag, nor si;n of weakening. In the language of a distin guished member of the Electric L:ght and Water Commission, the present is not an "opportune" time for Astoria to indulge in electric lights. Not having the means to buy electric lights, if some cheaper method of lighting the streets cannot be found, let us manage to get along without any, as the experience of the last two months has demonstrated that we can, until such a time as in the opinion of the au just electric light and water commission the time is opportune lor the resumption of that convenience.

The spirit of intolerance which: rules the South is well illustrnte.1 in the atti tude the Louisville Courier-Journal has been forced to assume toward the Bryan platform and ticket. Never wa9 there a worse case of stultification and cowardly submission to an ignorant and blindly prejudiced public senliuient thnn the change of that really great newspaper . trom n cuatupiousuip ot sonna money and expansion to free silver and the' demagogic cry of imperialism raised by Bryan. It is a sad and pitiable spec tacle. Both the editor and proprietor o' the Courier-Journal have publicly re-can ted their former political opinious and contrary to their couviction of what is for the best interest of the section they represent are now advocating the election of the Hrya ticket It is little wonder that the Soutk fails in progress and development. It Is little wonder capital refuses to go there for investment and that its best blood is forced to seek more congenial aud in telligent sections of tbe country for start in life. Yet the South erercis twice the political power as the same number of voters in the North. It is shame and a reproach and a menace at the same time to popular government that this should be so. The republican party has to obtain the votes to elect its national candidates at the North by in telligent discussion aud through the sheer merit of its' position on public questions. It goes Into the electoral col lege handicapped by the entire electoral vote or the South, cast for any candidate and any set of political principles the democratic party sees fit to set np and proclaim. Leading newspapers all over the country are apologixing for Mr. Watterson and hi paper, bnt for men of the intelligence and attainments of Mr. Watterson and the proprietor of the Courier Joarnal there can be no reasonable excuse. They deserve the severest condemnation of in telligent and honest men everywhere. No other commentary is needed on the diflerence between the North and the South than lo8ay soy public man or reputable newspaper in the former wonld be utterly and irretrievably ruined by sncb a shameless and confessedly sordid course as that pursued by Mr. Watterson and Mr. Haldemau. One of the bet discussions of their case is by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It makes the usual apology for them, but tells the facts in their case without palliation or drossingover. It reads as follows: The attitude which Mr. W. D. Halde man. proprietor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, has been compelled to take, both personally and in bis paper, is almost pitiable; yet every newspaper man can understand why be has been forced Into the position which he now assumes. Both Mr. Haidernan, the owner, and Henry Watterson, the editor of the Courier-Journal, were opposed, and are still opposed to every plank in the Chicago platform, re-enunciated at Kansas City. They are believers In the single gold standard; have no sym pathy with free riot strongly antag onize the proposition to reorganize the supreme court for the pur pose of securing a majority to overturn existing decisions; and In general are opposed to all the Populistic program of the so-called new Democracy. More over, on the one issue which the Demo crats are trying to force to the front in the East, that of anti-expansion, they are heartily in sympathy with th policy of the administration. Take it all in all, there is not one single issue before the country in the present cam paign in which these two prominent Democrats are not far more in sym pathy and accord with the Republican administration than they are with Mr. Bryan, to whom they have now felt compelled to render a perfunctory sup port. The explanation is simple, the rea sons are not far to seek. The Louis ville Courier-Journal has been for a generation one of the great Democratic newspapers of the South, . with a clientage extending over many states. As a property it has had extraordinary value. Four years ago, the proprietor and editor of the Courier-Journal, strong in their convictions of right and of the duty which they owed to the country, refused to support the Demo cratic program for a debasement of the national currency. They doubtlens believed that the strength and prestige of the Courier-Journal were too great for any serious Injury to result from its refusal to support the party nomi nees; particularly as the parer had previously taken a decidedly indepen dent attitude on many national ques tion, without loss of prestige. They did not allow for the bigotry and intolerance which are marked characteristics of the Bryanltes; but they soon learned. The tremendous falling off In business and the growth of rival newspapers with more elastic consciences, showed that a great prop erty would be wrecked If a change was not made. When the next election came around, the Courier-Journal was a healthy supporter of Ooebel and even endorsed the Goebel law, which It had previously allied in the bitterest terms. When It saw that Bryan was certain to be nominated, It gave In Its adherence to him. It fought strenu ously the threatened abandonment of the historic Democratic nttltud on the question of expansion, but when the Kansaa City platform wsa adopted, It accepted the bitter pill, and clung to Democracy and to the business office receipts. SW "'" ' nounres that he rronoses to vote for nryan. The. waaon wnloh ne C(m give for his changed attitude Is that he sympathises with the Boers. This I the nole point of harmony between him and Mr. Bryan, and this Is the only reason which he can publicly avow. The attitude of the Courier-Journal and of Its managers ought not to be criticised too harshly. The sacrifice which they made four years ago for principle must have amounted. In act ual dollars and cents, to an enormous sum. That vhey do not propose to be completely ruined, financially, for the privilege of giving expression to views which the people who take their paper do not care to read, says only that they ar? not ready for the martyr's death. It Is well, however, that the public, wont to be Influenced somewhat by the utterances of what was once a great Independent paper, should un derstand precisely the motives for its present change of policy.
