NOT YET TOO LATE.
ELUSIVE STAPLE.
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.

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

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.

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

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.
Sayi
the
Horn Will Not Retire from
Northern Pacific.
St. Paul, Nov. 19.-C. M. Levey, third
vice president of t'ie Northern Pacific,

ical trip, denied emphatically tonight

ed fact, but the official are still de
liberating concerning the letting of the
contract.
