THAT POLICE COMMISSION.
Despite the Bud-rH's sole, and labored,
treatise on the local political situation
the other day, wherein it laid down the
fallacious doctrine that the city police
commission was not the Agency to regu
late and control the criminal clement
of the city through its policemen, but
that such matters were to be left to the
offices of the District Attorney and the
Sheriff, we must again urge the expedi
ency of electing John W. Babbidge and
W. C. Law to that commission, for the
one and express purpoe of putting the
direction of police matters in tle hands
of men who know their duty and will
do it. To date the imlic commission
has paid but little attention to its
work or the men who wire doing it,
supposedly unler the regulation and
sanction of t!ie board. The Police Com
mission i- the head and front of police
affair within and for thi city snd is
flatly i-ii'l wholly reponihle for every
piece of bundling, or worse, committed
by the men who wear the .tars of chief
a 11 J captain, us well n for the h-.i-r
mistake made on the (nice. The peo
ple of tiii city want men of ability and
settled tliurac'er j.t the head of thin
important muiiici;iicl control and they
are going to get tliem. No popular. 11II
round f-port; no genial mingler with the
the pro-cribed elements of the city, is
going ti be put in the very place of nil
other within the gift of the eoplc. l!t;.t
demaud-t the exercise of qualities and
powers inimical to that element; no
complacent "good-fellow" with a pen
chant for dance-halls, is going to be put
in a position that requires the exercise
of prompt and wholesome judgment upon
matters of public morals and the po
tency and efficiency of the police force
of Astoria. It takes something beside
easy-going good nature and lax moral
standards to make a proper and service
able Polio Commissioner.
AGAIN, AND AGAIN, REGISTER!
Again the Astorian urges the Repub
licans of this city to register. 1V not
fail in this imperative electoral func
tion. You are disfranchied if you fail,
for t!w man who is too careless to per
form the easv dntv now, will hardly
iiave the ambition to go to the greater
and more laborious length of swearing
in his vote on election day. Now is the
time, hile everything is prepared and
ready at hand. If you neglect this ob
ligation, the election may go by default,
of your creating, to the IViiuhtmU and
their heterogenimi allies, a circum
stance you will deplore ten times more
in June than you will in lVeemWr. Re
member your own responsibility in this
case, and don't growl at your neighbor
if you have to stomach the onus of a
miserable defeat in both elections. It is
essential that the whole Republican
strength bo thrown to the ticket next
month, in order to overwhelmingly defeat
the first step of the Democrats in their
program of capturing the Oity, then the
County, and turning both over to the
gambler and his kindred associates. Be
warned, and do your duty NOW.
o
DECEMBER "ijTH."
As a rule, the "thirteenth," as a date,
is ominous and has an eerie sound, as
of defeat, or disappointment, or lo-, or
some other lugubrious element that en
ters into human affairs, and in deference
to the foolish, but popular, superstition,
we have been reading the Stars lately
with a view to determining the nature
of the disaster that is to ensue here on
the 13th of next mouth; and a careful
analysis of the stellar signs confirms us
in the conclusions we had already come
to. namely, that the Democrats are des
tined to lose the municipal fight, lock,
stock and barrel We are grieved to
make this announcement so soon, but
it is done on the kindly pretext of pre
paring our friend, the enemy, for the
certainty they cannot escape. It may
be taking a somewhat mean advantage,
under the circumstances, but the abso
lute demonstration of the truth of the
premise will go a long ways toward
mitigating the blow to those on whom it
shall fall, as well as comforting the Re
publicans a whole lot. So mote it be.

JUST AS IT STANDS.
The Astorkn here and now makes
open and definite proclamation that it
stands for the entire Republican ticket
without exception: It desires to see
every man upon that ticket elected ami
will work faithfully to that end, with
out faltering, favor or qualification
whatsoever. It would rather see the
whole ticket defeated than one of it
ersonnel defeated by any dickering),
swapping or selling out. That's where
the Astorian stands in this campaign,
and its best hope is that the same
straightforward policy possesses every
Republican voter in the city. The men
named are good men and are entitled
to the fullest consideration of the elec
tors, one with another and tlie safety
and reputation of the City of Astoria
depends upon its full and unquestioned
success at the polls on December 13th.

WITH ALL HONORS.
Lieutenant General .dna R. Chaffee,
chief of staff of the army, is to retire.
Shortly after Christmas he will give
way to Major General John C. Bate who
will become chief of staff with the rank
of lieutenant general. The chief title
having been reserved to the president
under the reconstruction of the army.
Chaffee's positim has not the distinction it
possessed when occupied by Grant, Sher
man, Sheridan and Miles. But while
Chaffee's record has not been interna
tional, he has been popular and capable
and will retire with universal respect
and real veneration from those who fol
low war. In many ways he reminds one
of "Bob-." Like Lord Roberts he rose
from the ranks without favor. Like
"Bobs," he is quiet in manner, quick to
act, devoid of display and intrepid on
the battlefield. 1jt fa" Lord Roberts
planned a trip to Ameiii-a and in that
event it would have been t'ie pleasure
of Genial Chaffwa to entertain the con
queror of Kabul and Pretoria and Ana- I
ea would have had the pleasure of sc
ing together two of the greatest and
most modest soldiers of their time.

souri. Copper price Is in the vicinity of
IS cent, fur above the average for a
long period of years. The two metal,
quoted together, are in reality Inter
dependent to a Urge extent. The present
rise in lead is attributed to its now
genral use in constructing underground
electric wires and cables. Those cables
are. of copper wire. The world's ord

both lead and copper are leading mate

LAW FOR ALL.
The giaiul jury is getting closer to
"the man higher up" in the election
frauds. He is Wing traced very near to
Charles F. Murphy, whose brother has
lecn summoned to appear lieforr that
body and tell what he knows, lawyer
Pillon, an olwtinate witness, who was
supposed to know a great deal about the
mysterious disappearance of the tloatcr,
Krup. has been compiled to testify. Tie
first of the fraudulent voters has lievn
sentenced to prison. Well, that isn't so
bad for a starter, with the election only
two weeks past. There is no surcease
in the prosecution on the part of the
Hearst supporters and no matter what
motive inspires it the result is likely
to be highly ls neflcial to the community
and a severe shock to Tammany, whose
methods in every election contest under
the regime of Imsses warrant the im
putation of spoils and corruption.-N.

PAID THE MONEY.
Among the ls-st stories told by Russcl,
one of 'The Scotsman's" former editors.
was an instance of the innate cleverness
of the newspajHT loy. Russcl had en
tered a train at Prince's-st. station, Ed
inburgh, on Friday, when a smart little
newsboy immediately called out to him,
'"Scotsman," sir!" "How much!" said
Russel, jokingly. "A penny, sir," replied
the bov. "Oh," said the editor, "I don't
want today's 'Scotsman; but if you
could give me tomorrow's I would give
you a sovereign for it." "Here you are,
sir!" delightedly shouted the youngster,
and handed him "The Weekly Scots
man," which bore the date of the fol
lowing day. Russcl paid the sovereign.

DON'T DISTRESS YOURSELF.
Panama has not enjoyed a revolution
in a couple of years, and, according to
old calendars, it is about time for six
men and three loaded ritles to make
for the mountains, declare tho govern1
incut is anathema mid incidentally lift
a few cattle.
The complexion of affairs has changed.
however. Since President Roosevelt
turned his back for a moment, somebody
said 'Presto! Change!" and he wheeled
about to give his "Dies you, my child
ren," benediction on the new republic of
Panama. Affairs have change! in that
the party in power, the conservatives,
feel that they have tin Washington ad
ministration back of them morally, willy
nilly, and they feel so strong in their
grip on the power tiiat no six men mak
ing off to the mountains can kick up any
rumpus worth Administration noti-e.
Our special correspondent in Panama
says that it is no small sized rumpus
that is being raised by the liberals, or
"outs" for if given a chance to cast
their ballots at the coming election they
will outvote the administration ten to
one.
The liberals insist that intimidation
and violence will Is- used to prevent an
honest election, and they ask Mr. Roose
velt. How about that square deal prom
ised us! and is it "square" to snow the
conservatives such favor that they are
encouraged to take the great majority
of Panama citizens by the throat and
stifle public protest!
Very interesting queries, hspctiaily
so as it is Intimated that failing an
answer the mountains are not far off.

CANDOR ITSELF.
President Loubet says be will prob
ably withdraw from politic altogether
when his present term expires. He could
have a relection, but will not. "I could
be of use,"' he adds naively, "as a mem
ber of the senate, but while my district
would probably send me to the chamber
of deputie, the department would not
elect me senator. I am considered too
conservative and not sufficiently republican."
INBORN SUPERSTITION.
The banzais tint greeted the Mikado
on his return to Tokio from Ise, whither
he went to inform the spirits of his
ancestors of the final triumph of the
Japanese arms, show that his subji-cts
are once more loyal and serene. That
is not, however, especially remarkable.
It is always easier to recover from vic
tory than from defeat, as the Czar could
tell the Mikado.
