The Morning AMorian is no hounJer of man, woman or child. It is a news paper, and gives the news as far as it can authenticate it Wk-n that news has a definite bearing good, or bad, tip on any public institution of the city or the county, it will be given without any other inpration than the public good no matter whoe sensibilities are wounded. It has no apologies to make for such a policy. It' has a fair con ception of its duty, knows how to con strue it, and will do it, and in doing will never lose sight of the public weal of this city. The name of this paper i no misnomer, 0 ORE MORE TO COME. The elections of Tuesday last in the great metropolitan centers of the coun try have been of absorbing interest to the voters of the nation in every pre cinct of the vast realm of states, this city included. But there is one more election of notable importance to' come, and while tlie country will probably not hold its breath until the issue is known, it has a large and wholesome sifrnifi- canoe to this community. If will be held on Saturday, December 9, 1905, in the City of Astoria, and will mark the restoration of tht Republican party here, to power, and the consequent re habilitation of the city's finance and the perpetuation of her present excel-l-nt moral ttalu, two of the mot weighty lssu? at hand, both of which will be properly disposed of by the well wishers of Atoiia on the day and date named. 0 FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. . There is a commendable revival of the proposition to proce-d with the con struction of the court hotue of Clatsop County. There is every adequate rea on on earth why this thould go for ward upon any leal and honet basis that can be reach d. and urh a bnsis it available if only the public senti ment of the county shall lean to its adoption. In this issue County .Jiidjre Trenchard foreoaHts the )iiioe of the County Court to K-vy a jMH-ial tax for thla purpose and ti'k the coinciding dis position of the taxpayer in behalf of tha work. Senator Fulton ha already publi-hed safe and feasible suggestion in thi re lation, namely, that a group of wmlthy citizens shall hand tliemselve into a local syndicate, advance the money nec essary to complete the structure, buy the property and give tbe County an op' thai its repurchase, charging it such a rental as will cover the interest charges for a few years and a reason able reduction of the principal annual ly, a project wtdl within the law and amenable to the best - consideration of those, who may be disposed to,, so in vest, and to the County itself. Any ex pedient tlt will prop?rly equip the County with a safe, commodious build ing, and provide the public records with the protection the law command, should be taken under intnt survey and a plan adopted that would lift the onus of rwklca disregard front tln County and her citiaens and officer. OnPuod fire on th. present county Mwk in this city would cot infinitely more than anv ordinary exjvnditurc the County could make in Whalf of a com pleted court house, 0 SCOOPED, BY JINCS' Thus wails the Butte Intcr-Mnuntain: "Believing that matt t of importance have been given to the press unadvised ly in the past. President Roosevelt ha formulated a plan by which all official inamational new will go through bis hands while department heads may give to newspapermen such itwns as they see fit An executive order recently stated that recognised pro associations, such aa the Associated Ires, will have pref erence over private correspondent, first, h -cause they cover a larger field and disseminate tire news more rapidly and. second, because they are tangible and may be brought to account for offenses against truth and the Fed-ral Govern ment The chief executive again evinc es striking disregard for tradition and public opinion in innuguruting a policy of sccrecv. It h Wen almost an un written law that the people should know public business even before it is wise or fea.-ible to give out the facts." 0 NUT-SHELL COMMENT. The news from Russia carries one lwtck to the frightful butcheries and horrible torture of which tlie early Christians were the victims. Yet the hideous atro cities perpetrated on the Jews in Rus sia are the work of so-called Christians, The Kishineff horror has been outdone at Odessa, and the barbarous Turk has been beuten in his chost-n field. Lust venality and rai-e prejudice have gone hand in band with bigotry, superstition and intolerance in a riot of rapine and slaughter thit happily ha had iW parallels in history. Ex. 0 FORGOT THE LAW. A will writcn by an ex-chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania a jurist of exceptional reputation, has just been dechtned void because it failed to comply with certain legal formalities. This" ought to sharpen the old joke about the lawyer .who accepts himself for a client 0 " SHAKE IT OFF EDIBLE BIRDS' NESTS. Rid Yourself of Unnecessary Burdeni. Don't bear unnecessary burdens.

Edible birds neats are found In th clefts of rocks or in underground raver which are frequently, of great extent Johu MacOrcgor In writing of a bin.' uestlng experience be bad la Borneo says: "Off we went with about a doxen Dyaks, as tbe little brouse aborigines of this part of Borneo are called, for guide. The entrance to the cave was so small aud so elevated that 1 had some little difficulty In reaching It. After we bad traveled for soiuo ills tance' we came across tbe luevltable ttrwtm. The grouud, which was to a great extent composed of the bed of the stream, was rough and Irregular. We were lighted ou our way by torches carried by our Iyak guides. At last we came to a passage that seemed a veritable eye of a needle, ao hard It was to enter, for it looked so narrow and conflucd that I despaired of ever getting through It. Wben I fairly got squeezed luto tbe breach I could force myself neither upward nor downward -for that was the direction of tbe passage- and there I was suspended like Moiiamuieil'a cofflu or a trussed fowl By dint of wriggling, however, I at last found myself ou the top of the passage, iiiluus a certain amount of stlu and some buttons from my tight fitting khaki coat. "Still on we Jogged for the beat part of a mile, when, lo and heboid, the caves In which the birds were breeding and which were to tie the limits of our underground wanderings! A faint glim mcr or ugui count ue seen ujrougn a rift In the rocks far above ne. aud It was through this small rift, which was a m-aled passage even to the Dyaks themselves, that the birds passed In their Journeys to and from their nest lug grounds. Our arrival, of course. dUturteil whatever birds were there, and they disappeared as bt they could. Aud there, for a time, we watch ed the Iiynks going through their gym nastic of robbing tbe birds' uesta, with their ropes and long poles creep ing along the high ridges and lodges In the lurid light of the torches like un earthly specters. "These ieeullar neats are built by a species or swallow. The nesta consist of shallow, cup hhajied cavities, trun cated at one side, where they are at tached to the rocks like brackets to a wall, and forming something like a two-thirds segment of a circle. It Is not always easy to get at them, as they are sometime glued to the per pendicular sides of the solid rooks high overhead, so that the nest hunters have to scale these crags with ropes and poles to get at them. In substance they consist of an elastic, aetpltrans parent mucilaginous material, which Is said to be a secretion, or macerated food, from the crops of the birds them selves. "As robbing these nests fur commer cial purposes forms a part of the Dy aks' means of livelihood, the birds have frequently to build twice or even three times during the season before they are able to batch their offspring, and It la noted that each successive crop of nests deteriorates In both con struction aud composition. Tbe nests built at the beginning of ti season are bright and transparent and are consequently known on the market as white nests,' but when they are rob bed the next crop Is not nearly so pure lu substance."

The house of lords was composed chiefly of clerics until the time of Ed ward 1)1. Thus In 1205 the peers were ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay mem bers, Including twenty archbishops and bishops, slxty-seveu abbots and priors and three masters of enter. Many clerical dignitaries summoned did not attend at Westminster, refusing to rec oguize tbe authority of parliament over tbelr own convocations of Canterbury and York. It was partly from this cause that the lords spiritual decreased In number until early In the reign of Edward III. the upiM-r bouse consisted of eighty-six lay and only forty-five clerical peers, while during Elizabeth's parliament there were forty-three and twenty -sli respectively .-London Standard.
