It Is quite evident that Astoria Is afflicted with the presence of a Rung of ruffians for whom hanging would be much too mild. Several weeks ago many depredations were reported to the police, but all efforts to locate the miscreants have failed. Their lat est outrage, the placing of grease on the. city street-car rails Mvhere the track goes down a steep Incline, was evidently calciUted to wreck a car and kill -.he passengers. It Is well nigh Impossible to imagine the utu-" depravity of persona who would lend themselves to such a vlllanous under taking and it is to be hoped the police Will succeed In their efforts to capture the criminals. It cannot be possible that the miscreants are mere boys, for such a desperate outrage would not suggest Itself to children. The police must capture the( guilty persons, and the courts can be relied upon to mete out to thf ra the punishment they richly deserve. That the outrage perpetrat ed Thursday night did not result in several deaths was due purely to good fortune, for had a car got beyond con trol at the point in question certain death woull have come to those on board. It is pretty nearly time an ex ample was made of wrongdoers in this community, and the present case affords an excellent opportunity to teach ruffians of Hie kind a wholesome regard for the liberties of others. J. Pterpont Morgan is not only the world's king of finance today, but the greatest financier in an history. He has a voice in the control of properties capitalised ktJM88,5M,000 more wealth than was ever before in the hands of one man. This sum is greater by over $1,000,000,000 than the entire annual revenue of the 43 principal nations of the world. It is greater by almost $2,000,000,000 than all the world's gold, coined or uncoined. It is greater by almost $6,000,000,000 than the gold coin and gold certificates in the United States treasury; and the amount (8550, 000,000) In that treasury at Dresent is unprecedented. At the head of the world's transportation trust, with 16 steamship lines and 44 railroad sys tems, with 300 of the large steamships and 300,000 passenger and freight trains the two branches representing a lano mileage of 180,100 and a sea tonnage of 1.200.0O0, he is the grand Stage driver Ranch it and rough it and you'll soon get rid of that weak chest and that hack Fne cough." That is what the doctor said to a young married man with a wife and child to care for and a modest alary to support them on. He couldn't go West. Love and duty tied him to his desk in the city. People don't have to travel to cure coughs or strengthen weak lungs. "Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures ob stinate, deep-seated coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs, weakness, emaciation and rihr fnrm of disease which if neglected or unsVill fully treated terminate fatally in con sumption.

Tile efforts of the moral element in Portland to close the town are really amusing. The reformers are working at cross purposes and roasting each other, while the slot machine men and liquor dealers are unable to agree upon a united plan of action to com bat the schemes of the reformers. The situation Is ridiculous In the extreme. To the uninterested observer it is ap parent that the crusade, so far as others than religious people are con cerned, is a huge farce, and that It Is calculated to make an open town of Portland. The opinion that the admin istration is trying to square things with the objectionable element seems well based, and it Is a safe prediction that the whole agitation will come to naught that the gamblers will soon again be plying their vocation. It might be a very sensible plan to elect United States senators at special sessions. Every time an election comes about representatives of the different counties "trade away" In the Interests of their respective candidates, and the people always suffer. The man who is after votes gives his support promiscuously to measures that are not meritorious, and it has been shown In the past that the state has been made to pay thousands of dollars for trades of this kind. Election of senators at special sessions would have a tendency to separate politics from business, although, of course, the trading could not be entirely pre vented. If politics Is such a curse that it will Interfere with the business In terests of the state. It ought to be played at a time set apart solely for the purpose. A Douglas county man has mistaken his son-in-law for a bear and shot and killed him. That a human being should so nearly resemble a bear is a bit of news that will prove of Interest however sad the shooting may have been. The ordinary hunter ought to be required to carry a field glass for the purpose of distinguishing between man and beast. The delinquent tax roll of Clatsop county this year will amount to about $1500, out of an original roll of more than $133,000. This showing indicates a disposition on the part of taxpayers to hold onto their property, and inci dentally denotes gratifying prosperity. Charles W. Clark, son of Senator Clark of Montana, has declined Mr. Helnze's generous offer of 2.r,oo,000 to I 30"d vestlbuled train, carrying stand ard Pullman tourist sleepers, dining assist him In securing control of the tar, day coaches, mail, express and legislature of that state. Trv f 500 - 000,000,000,000, Mr. Heinze, and perhaps you'll have better luck. Hanna has rooted Tom Johnson, whereupon the latter evens p things by roasting McLean. McLean will ronst somebodf and thus th in terests of th-i great state of Ohio iil be carefully guard?!
