RETRENCHMENT THE ORDER.
' Retrenchment is the order paramount
in the City of Astoria. Obedience to
the mandate is all that is left, disagree
able aa the program may be. It it
possible, dificult as it may aeein. Seven
yeara ago the City of Salem confront
ed just such an emergency and by &Wr
business rules overcame the situation
to the tune of $15,000 per yer to the
good of the taxpayer. SM topped
right and left, cut her interest bills in
two, reduced her department forces,
put her salary-roll upon a reasonable
living basis and looked sharply after all
expenditures and requsitions, and U to
day one of the best governed cities on
the coast. Astoria and Salem are prac
tically on a par, as to population, prop
erty values, resources and cost of main
tenance. And it will scarcely be con
ceded that she has more public spirit
than the City-by-the-Sea. Think this
over. Mr. Taxpayer, and formulate your
wishes and above all, make them known
It is up to youl
.. PREPONDERANT ISSUES
The pending municipal campaign has
not progressed to a point where the is
sues can be clearly defined, but enough
is known of public sentiment to permit
the conclusion that the preponderant
issues will be "Retrenchment or con
tinued extravagance," and "an open, or
a closed town." The firt is (if any
distinction may be hazzanM as be
tween such vital proportions), the more
potent of the two, pot.-nt as both are,
for the credit of the city is a matter
that reaches far beyond lier confine
and affects her most nearly in a public
sense, while tlie second is more of a
home matter and ameiiuhlc to consider
ation from day to day as action may
be needed, though this statement .loe
not carry with it any suggestion that
the issue of an orderly regime here U to
be made uuidiary to anything el-.
It is of grave 11 ml immediate coikvhi and
will be fou-ijit for with vigor and un
ceasingly. But l!iiim-H is Business,

right quantities of food elements re
quired, to pleae the taste and at the
same time save money.
By making such good e of the in
formation given by this one pamphlet
aa the average American housekeeper i
able easily to make, at least a, dollar a
year may be saved on the food supply
of eaoh person of the eighty millions in
the country, and at the same time add
to the comfort and health of all.
o
TYPE BY HIMSELF.
The Governor of Arkansas extended
the welcome of lis state to the Presi
dent and then refused to eat with him,
owing to the presence of otier guet.
One sure sign of relief for Arkansas is
that the office Mr. Uivis is running for
now will keep him out of the state
most of the time if he gets it, and if he
doesn't get it, he will at least be Gov
ernor no longer. '

WILL IT CURE.
Faul Morton contends that publici
ty is the only certain cure for corpor
ation evils. In a few years the cor
newspaper will be printing certifi
cate like tliist from prominent trust)
magnate: "The doctors rounld do'
nothing for me, I was run down and
nearly all in, when chance put me next
to a bottle of your celebrated keep-it-before-
the-petple-remedy I do not
esitate to say that it saved my con
stitution and by-laws."
o
TURN OUT, ASTORIANS! ....
The meeting of tlie Astoria Chamber
of Commerce at its Bond street rooms
tomorrow night will be well worth the
time and trouble it takes to get there.
There are some things of vital concern
coming up for illustration and discus
sion, among them the Black Sand ore
values and the latest estimate put upon
them by Dr. David Day; the new hotel
for this city will receive an impetus
that will not cease until its doors are
thrown open to the world on the night
before the opening of the l!R)6 Atoria
Regatta, besides a number of other es
sential and up-to-date things. Xo man,
alive to the future of Astoria, should
fail to be present tomorrow night. The
Chamber of Commerce is doing too much
good work to be ignored and its bur
dens left upon a few willing shoulders,
PLEASURE AND TRAGEDY.
Italian Harbor the Scene of a Terrible
Mischance.
Xew York, Nov 4. According to dis
patches from Genoa, the fetea in con
nection with the inauguration of the new
harbor works had a tragic conclusion,
three officer bing their lives in an
strident, says a cabk dispatch to the
Herald from Milan.
A storm came up on Wednesday night
at a dinner given to the French and
Italian officers on board the battleship
Goliath. A cutter from tlu Italian
armored cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi,
with seven officer and eight seamen
on board, nevertheless left the Goliath
for the shore. The cutter was crossing
the outer harbor when it was run down
and sunk by the packet steamdp
Maria Teresa.
An alarm was immediately raised.
The warships in the roadsted turned
their searchlight on the harbor; boats
were launched and all of the occupants
of the cutter ere rescued
Several of the officera were in a des
perate condition and during the night
Captain Surgeon Enrico Malir.ia, Cap
tain Engineer Frmvio Montario, and
Commissary Arturo Grassi died in the
hospital. Ueutenant Point and Mo-
dena are reported mortally injured.
The ships of the Italian and foreign
squadrons are flying flags at half mast
and their departure has been postponed
in order to send deputations to the fu
neral of the victims.
VALUABLE IMMUNITY.
Tbe city of Astoria enoys remarkable
immunity from fires, great and small.
There is, perhaps, no other community
on the Pacific Coast where the use of
wood and other inflamabl materials is
so general a in this citv, comparatively
speaking, and her record of freedom
from loss and damage from this source
is something to marvel at and rejoice
in. . The wood and water are in such
juxtaposition, perhaps, that the one
operates on tiie other in some pchyeo
logical way and forbids independent ac
tion; at any rate, the splendid advan
tag is hers to make the most of.
USE IT PROPERLY.
In a single year the people of the
United States may save more mon.-v
than their national Dcpaitmeir. of Agri
culture has cost in all the generations
of its existence,if they will only make
such, use as any fairly intelligent per
son can easily make of information giv
en by a single one of the many publi
cations issued by that department.
That publication is one wihich shows
what ia the nutritive value of each
food in common use, and how to com
Line those in such a way aa to give the
MEMM0RANDA.
Make a note of this: The registra
tion books will close on Tuesday next
at 4 o'clock p. m. Tlwy will open again
on Thursday, November lfith and re
main open until Saturday, December 9.
at 4 o'clock p. m. So that those who fail
in the first period may make good in
the second. And the Republicans who
fail in both seasons will rightfully lose
their franchise for the pending election.
But fortunately, there are no such mem
bers of the party here.

POOR EXPEDIENT.
Chancellor K. Benjamin Andrews of
Nebraska University is in favor of turn
ing over condemned murderers to the
surgeons and doctors for surgical and
medical experiments, the subjects to re
ceive their liberty if they survive. The
murderers might prefer death bv wav
of the operating table and anaesthetics.
but would the surgeons and doctors be
willing to play the role of executioners?

A.-cording to Secretary Shaw, some

advantage to the count ly kCongren,

INITIATE CANDIDATES.
Fraternity of Chicago University Make
Fools of Members.
Chicago. Nov. 4. Special poliivinen in
several of the downtown hotels were
called on last night to ejwt from the
lobbies hundreds of persons who were
attracted by the initiation of two can
didates in a fraternity of the Chicago
University.
The candidate danced in fantastic
costumes, and having small papier
mache cats fastened to their backs,

eyes into the lobbies of the Talmer
House, the Auditorium Annex and other
down town hotels and ordered to get
down on their hands and knees and
fight.'
A crowd collected alxiut the contes
tants in each instance, and it was neces
sary for the police to disperse the par-
ty.

len's Arnica Salve. It cured my fearful
running sores, which nothing else would

SWEET BUT IMPORTANT.
Hawaiian Sugar Tariff The Subject of
Reneed Attack.
Denver, Nov. 4. The director of the
Chamber of Commerce last night voted
to send a letter to the Chamlier of Com
merce throughout the West and middle
West inviting them to send representa
tives to a convention to discus the pro
posal on the part of the National gov
ernment to remove the" tariff on sugar
coming from the Philippine Islands.
The letter in part is as follows
e believe that the time i very op.
portune to call a conference of a con
vention of representative of the leading
commercial bodies of the sugar produ
cing states to take action looking to
ward a correct public opinion on this
important subject and also to secure
the assistance of the representatives in
Congress from the above states in pre
venting such tariff legislation."
HOLDING THEIR NOSES.

In J lien of twenty dead whale, known
as "killers" are floating in the channel
off Santa Cruz i-land, thirty miles from j
this city. The gigantic corpse meas
ure from twenty to forty feet in length
and bear mute evidence of H fierce battle
between the monster. This warfare
has hei-n going on for ome time be
tween two varieties of whales and
swordfish for several weeks in the ocean
near thi Channel Mauds and it is
probable that in the extermination of
so many of this variety of whale a sig
nal victory has been won by some of
the levithians.
