DOOMED , NATION.
Teh Tacoma Ledger referring to the
uprising in Russia says:
The throne of the csar is tottering.
The monarch himself Is prostrated with
grief and on the verge of collapse. He
is a weak man to wear the crown, and
In spite of all his traditional and inher
ited authority, be occupies today s
most unenviable position. -
The cause Is deep-seated. Waen
Nlcbolas grandfather, , Alexander H
was assassinated in 1881 by the Nlhl
ista, the seeds of the coming revolu
tion had long been sown. The policy
of repression that has been followed
ever since has not removed the cause
of the- disease which haa now reacbeJ
the acute stage In Russia. The maaeet
of the people have never Joined the re
form movement in Russia, but for
years they have been preparing, as It
were, for participation in it.
"When thousands of worklngmen
with their wives and children went to
the palace on Sunday to present In per
son their petition to the czar there wer
but few of them who did not cling to
the Inherited tradition of respect, sub
mission and reverential regard for their
sovereign. They were loyal even in
tribulation. But when the czar's troops
poured a volley of leaden bullets Into
that , throng, when Cossacks charged
upon them with drawn sabers, when
the blood of men, women and children
stained the snow-covered streets, then
the affection of the populace for their
ruler changed to hate. The "tittle
Father" whom they had been taught
to venerate as God's own representa
tive and their anointed ruler, was then
transformed In their minds Into the
personification of tyranny which he is.
Soldiers may re-establish order, but
they cannot beat loyalty into the hearts
of thousands who are henceforth rev
olutionists. There will be a Danton to
lead the patriots of Russia to liberty,
fraternity and equality. Feformers like
Tolstoi have sown the seed; martyrs
for the cause have suffered Ignomini
ous death or the horrors of Siberian
exile; but the crimson blood that flowed
in the streets of St Petersburg on Sun
day, will be the baptism of a new na
tion. Autocracy may see Its doom writ
ten on the determined faces of the Rus
sian masses.
"Revolutions are a part ot the evolu-
try Electric Bitters and the result was

support of the city and county govern
ment." He wants to know who they
are.
After a careful examination of the
assessment roll we are unable to find
where Rev. O. E. Haahetm pays any
taxes. If he does not, he does not con
tribute one cent to the support of the
city and county government Evident
ly he espouses the cause of prohibition.
The Astorlan Is in favor of local op
tlon. It is in favor of temperance, and
the strict enforcement ot all laws. If u
law Is obnoxious to a large majority of
the people. It will not be enforced, ami
if not enforced It ought to be amended
or repealed.
We fall to find the name of Rev. O
E. Haahetm on our- subscription list,
and are informed that ha does not sub.
scribe for any of the local papers. When
he requests the Astorlan to publish
church notices or churcn socials, or
entertainments, his request Is granted
without any charge for them. We are
willing to contribute this to the good
work in which the reverend gentleman
Is engaged. Not being a producer
then, he must necessarily fall within
the class of non-producers.
With all due respect for the esteem
ed follower of the Meek and Lowly One,

THE REGATTA.
The actions of the grocers' associa
tion In moving for a regatta in. Astoria
this year, and the action of the cbam
ber of commerce in appointing a com
mlttee to call a mass meeting of the
merchants and tax payers to make ar
rangements for the regatta, shows a
commendable spirit
among the merchants.
desire to take the management of the
regatta away from any particular as

by the committee but year. The com
mlttee as originally appointed did all
within its power to make the regatta
a success, and it is not Its fault that
one or two petty larceny thieves worked
themselves in on the committee and
stole some of the proceeds of the con
cessions. Had one particular young
man, who left the city as soon as the
regatta was over, accounted for the
money he recelveJ, there would have
been no shortage. As It was, the com
