REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.
Tie Repblican ticket presented for
the consideration of the electors of As
toria at the coming municipal election,
is manifestly the best that can be of
fered as to personnel. The policies be
hind these men is business-like and
wholesome and means something for
the city. It means that the encroach
ment upon the debt-limit of the charter
will stop, and a receding movement set
in, in that behalf; it means clean,
straightforward, business manipulation
of the finances for the general good; it
means honest retrenchment in public ex
penditurea along all lines, until the nor
mal limits are again in force; it means
that the police commission will do its
whole duty by the force as well as the
people, and take its place in tin- admin
istration that the law gives it, without
leaving the functions of police supervis
ioi to the lesxer officers; it means the
preservation of the present y.tem of
regulation of slum-traffic, only it will
put the power und tvponiibility for such
regulation in the hands of the municipal
police and relinquish it n-liunce upon
the County officer for the fulfillment
of local ordinances by the ubtituted
statutes; it mean thut Atoria will la
governed by her own charter to the lut
limit of its prerogative and requirement
and that she will be so governed that
her citirens need not blush for the
record; and it means, above all else,
that the City is not to be thrown wide
open to dangers and disorders incident
to gambling and dance-halls after the
June election. The election of this tick
et means the making of decent, credit
able hint or r for the city and her people,
and the defeat of this ticket mean. jut
as surely, the indirect domination of the
gambler, the low sport and the macque
to the utter undoing of the municipal
ity. Look to it, you voters in whoe
hands the whole situation rests.

PECULIAR RETICENCE.
It in a singular circumstance that the
Democrat, and hi "Nonpartisan" co
adjutor in this campaign, will vocifer
ously deny their scheme to pen up the
town, in the course of personal conver
sation, but neither of their organs has
yet had the temerity to declare this in
plain type. WHY?
o
ASTORIA VERSUS NEW YORK.
The Tammany Democrats of New
York are in a tremendous me for try
ing to steal the election from the Citi
sens. Why didn't they follow the As
toria plan and stand in with the Citi
wna, capture their support, lead them
to victory and gobble the glory and
other perquisite in due season? That's
the program here, and that it won't
work, will be due to the activity and
good faith of the Republican in saving
the City and Citizens, from the game.
n
LOCAL TAMMANY.
The Democratic push needs organiza
tion. Why not found a loeal Tammany
hall here! The tiger needs a lair. (live
him one and call the faithful into some
sort of cohesive shape. As a phase of
hih-fmancing, it cannot be improved
upon. The suggestion is offered gratuit
ously. New York i a pretty "wide
open city, from all accounts. 11ns is
gratuitous, also.

EVERY DOLLAR A PROTEST.
There is reason to believe, horrible
as the idea is, that the massacres of
Jews occurring in so many places in
Russia are caused chiefly by the matig
nant influence of the autocracy whose
unlimited power is crumbling away. In
seeking to guard their own safety, and
to retain as much as possible of ab
solutism, the autocrat nobles are be
lieved to have played upon the old hat
red of Jews, and cunningly turned the
wild passions of the mob in that direc
tion. The slaughter of Jews has been
going on for years in southeastern Eu
rope, because agents of the autocracy
encouraged the' masses to believe that
excessive taxes and other burdens of
misgovemment are due to greedy ma
chinations of the Jews, while the super
ior intelligence and education of the
Jewish population add to the jealousy
of the peasants.
The mob assaults on the Jews in Rus
sia can not be understood at all un
less some subtle diabolism is at work,
lashing blind ignorance into a blood
thirsty rush upon the innocent. When
the Russian Government and people
learn from the great subscriptions pour
ing in that the sympathies of the most
enlightened naions is with the Jews
struggling against mob murder and ra
pine, the undoubted effect will be to suc
cor the downtrodden race, for the relief
funds show that the victims are not
friendless, and also amount to a world
wide protest.

TEA POT TEMPEST.
The pigmy revolution in the Isle of
Pines, consisting of two whoops, three
yells and a manifesto, is satisfactorily
explained. The movement for independ
ence is said to have been supported by
a clique of wealthy Americans who have
decidedly practical object in view. It
is stated on what is believed to be good
authority that an American syndicate
intends to make the Isle of Pines a sec
ond Monaco. It is said to be their in
tention to erect upon the island a mag
nificent casino and a large number of
expensive residences, which will be rent
ed for the winter season to wealthy peo
ple who wish to spend the winter in
that beautiful climate, and at the same
time enjoy the sport and excitement
which a large gambling house would of
fer to them. For the accommodation of
those who do not wish to be burdened
with a large household, several large
ami luxuriously equipped hotels will be
built. The Isle of Pinea is near the
southern coast of Cuba, and is a de
lightful place to spend the winter, but
it is not probable that it will ever be
utilized as a gambling hell.

REAPING ITS HARVEST.
Hi-tory is repeating itself in Russia.
She now has a new pretender to deal
with. In the very region where Pupat
cheff arose in the time of Catherine II.,
pretending to le Peter Til.,' near Penza,
on the banks of the Volga, a region not
ed for its agrarian uprisings, a false
emperor has appeared, and already has a
large following, about 60,000. This,
without doubt, means serious trouble
for the already distracted empire. It
took a year to suppress the Pugthcu
uprising.

Ciar Nicholas ha lost a great deal

with somthing else a little more radical
to insist upon.

it is hinted that llreat Britain and
lapau will start a rival to the Panama
canal, uiug the Nicaragua plan as a

strutting around with a vindication chip
on his shoulder.
New Yorker believe in state improve
ments. Some time ago they voted f 101,-
000,000 to deepen the. Km canal, and at
the recent election approved the issue
of fiO.OUO.OUO stato bonds to be spent
in road building.
