A wide variation has brm itneed in the prica of cotton within tha Iat fortnight, and when a permanent Vwl will ba found no man can say. The staple forma magnificent market for the trailer Jut at present for, without a hint of news of any kind, a range of twenty points a day is not aurprMng. Notwithstanding the dfpreim that oc casionally ensue, the South i reluctant to believe that the Maple in destined to settle down below the figure designated a a minimum by the Ahevitle conven tion. Walter (Turk, president of the Mississippi division of the cotton asso ciation, advise the planter of hi atate to hold on for higher price and they will probably do . The fight that the association determined upon is still be ing waged with vigor, ith the ability of the planter to maintain their posi tion dependent upon the volume of a crop not yet known. 0 INDUCEMENT WAS AMPLE. It muat have ticen made reallv worth the while of the Budget to abandon its serene and negative existance, and plunge into the vortex of political dis cussion. The abnormal and innocuous course it ha followed o long, indeed ever since It fell out with its Demo cratic friend, ha been o,uite a strain upon its reader, and the new depar ture, is made, no doubt, to atTord its clientelle something to read beside the re printed stuff from the Portland press that did not have to be credited to itt proper sourcqr bonuso fVe-ine was aware or it as soon as it appeared In the cute little Kvening Budget. All right, the more the merrier. 0 KINGLY SCRUB. Complaint i made in Europe of the manner in which young Alfonso of Spain is seeking a bride, which strikes the impartial observer a being too much like the way a man would choose a horse. The juvenile monarch, for he i a good deal of a boy yet, is making a tour of inspection of the Catholic court of Kurope, which hi quite public and the question is asked if it would not lie Nisible to arrange the prelimin aries of his probable marriage in a more delicate way, so as to save the feeling of the rejected princesses. Certainly no self-respecting parent of nobility, or any other walks of life, would permit uch a proceeding in regard to his daughters, but Hsibly the glitter of a prospective crown may omul some or the princes and dukes to the decencies of life. The citizen's regime has one element of civic mismanagement to its discredit It has permitted the City of Astoria to troeious crime of exceed its charter limit of indebtedness. It is several thousand dollars to the bad, not enough as yet to impeach its standing nor to vitiate the value of its warrants, but just enough to violate me principle 01 safety and open an avenue of injury that must be ad versely answered. It is a dangerous attitude, and must be reversed; not by the reckless expedient of "opening the city" and enhancing its police revenues J made to reason and justice too frequent LOOK TO YOUR SHERIFF. I'nhappilvjt seems that President Roosevelt's earnest and forceful preach ing against lynching is not to mark the disappearance of the practice. It worthy of note that before the Presi dent had fairly left the South an au this sort bad to be recorded in one of the states he visited, and now, before the echoes of his voice have fairly died away, comes word of an attempt at lynching in Oeorgia, which failed because one brave man did his duty, and of another in Texas, which aucceeded because another sheriff proved ft craven. It is becoming more and more evident that mere exhortation no matter where or by whom, will not avail to abolish what is a national, not sectional, curse and disgrace. Appeal and debauching its public morale, but by an honest system of retrenchment in government expenditure all down the line. The Republicans intend to do this thing and to take the reHponsibility ly fail. Those made to fear rarely or never do. It seems idle to tell people the twice told tale that lynching is mor ally wrong or to argue again and again that it is a social and political menace I of the first magnitude. Lynching goes without question. An honest city is anion just the same, and will go on until good a thing as an honest man. "SOW'S EAR" POLITICS. Tou cannot make a silk purse from 1 sow's ear." Nor can you make a decent, habitable, commendable place for homes and busineso of a city given over to the rule of its slums. The Democrats who are in charge of the "Citizen's" campaign have not yet to , deny the mi ft impeachment of their purpose to do this very thing, and their denial has been so long com ing, that its arrival now would be hailed with derision and disgust. It is an onerous task to lead a forlorn hope, but the ease) and dqbonair style in which the Democrats plunged into the breach last Wednesday evening pre eludes all doubt of their having done it unwittingly, and of their intention to stay with it to the end. They are wholly committed to the leadership ami the only fighting slogan at their com mand, "OPEN UP THE TOWN." mob after mob and community after community has len made to realize that it is dangerous and that be who thus lawlesrlv seeks another life is more than likely to forfeit his own. Communities that through wisdom or chanoe elect sheriffs who can and will shoot straight upon occasion will not be disgraced by mob violence. -0 SANS PEUR ET SANS REPROCHE. The Republicans of Astoria have enough sins of omission and commission to answer for, one year with another, Heaven knows, but the consensu of its affront and misdemeanor bears no such strain as is now being perpetrated by the Democrats and their allies, namely, the subversion of the city to the wanton rule of the "Wide Open" crowd. SPARE THIS AT LEAST. A way to check depredations and pre serve Niagara Falls for all tune seems open. The International Waterways Commission, which recently sat in Buf falo, recommended to the Governments of the United States and Canada that steps be taken to prevent the granting of corporate rights ami fram-hif for the use of the waters of Niagara river until the commission could collect in formation and report fully on the mat ter. Our Attorney-General, in answer Jo the President, baa suggested that, through an agreement between the United States' and British Government to treat' the river, falls and rapids as under international jurisdictiop. subor dinating the rights of New York and Ontario to the National Governments,! the end could be accomplished. As a matter of fact, the boundary line runs in the middle of the river and it should therefore be an international, not mere ly an interstate, matter. President Roosevelt will doubtless make some recommendations in his next message, and we may be sure they will be prae-JUL Smile when the grocer offers you coffee 4 as "just as good Golden Gate but demand Golden a mm m firs 1 SCIPIO HAS THE FLOOR. The San Bernardino Times-Index so ouse me Jteuiaiuis iiirogTaph of pro fessing umbrage." Fancy the radian and rwn-at Skipio Craig making a empty profession of anything. He i nothing less than umbrageous. He i a spreader ami a readier from away buck, ami a reformer for the fun of the thing. He i no idle professor. On the contrary Skip is the skinpiet of all skipper. He print the neatest papi in the state 011 a press alternately used for pressnig cider and baling hay, and he gets a good deal of gray matter in it too. Ht profes anything? Perish the thought. Kx. o " GAY WINTER WINDOW BOXES. When we look at Ornwny's new tar iff, we ran get some Idea of how the I'uited States tariff look to the bul neaa men of other countries. A Methodist bishop says that the fu ture man will be part white and part black. That I what they are now if you knew them ml well. Investigation reveals the great truth that all the men in history or business who woke to find themselves famous did a lot of hard work before going to bed. A Plan to Have Flowers AU Winter- Why House Plants Are Killed. Perhaps the lest, most serviceable and artistic way to keep winter plants is in window boxes, placed inside the window and about six to twelve inches from the glass. So far a the plants are con cerned any box will do, provided it is well drained, but by all mean have it made to fit the window. Paint it tn the outside in any color appropriate to the surroundings. .It should be six to eight inches wide and six inches deep, with several holes drilled in the bottom for drainage. A tray or tin pan of eorre ponding size should be provided to catch the water that soak through, but the box should not be set down tightly into uhis. Allow enough space all round to admit free circulation of air. Small blocks of wood about an inch thick pluc ed in the bottom of the pan will elevate the box sufficiently. I believe that thi one thing is responsible for more deaths of house plants than all other neglect or mismanagement. J. T. S-ott in the Garden Magazine. LEVY DENIES RUMOR.
