COUNCIL AND COMMISSION.
There are two rmnts of local gov
eminent that require tlie bent and mottt
deliberate consideration of tlie Repub
lican and Mich citizen as are allied
to the present high purpose of that
party, and they are the Common Coun
cH and tJie Police CbinrnMon. Nol
that they are to be considered pre
eminent and beyond the rest of the
ticket the Republican have put out,
but tat they are eential to tlie
working out of that purpose and must
be confirmed by a majority at the polls
that will show the real trend of popn
lar feeling in the present premise.
Every man miixt be eta.-ted on that
ticket, but there must be no half
hearted expression n to council and
comrni-ion nominee. To tlKte two
branches of municipal government the
people mir4 turn for financial and
moral safety; tfiey are tiie authorita
tive sources of control onil their paUnt
of authority from the people of thin city
murtt le of a certain and inexorable
kind that cannot 1 miundentood by
any one be he Republican, Deinociat
Citizen, Independent. SelWr-Out or

moral tendencies, nnl natnial loaning
are with tlie gambler, the dance-hall
iivin and tiie glitter xirt male and fe
male, in Romething a little too serious
for contemplation and will be fought to
a bitter conclui-ion by the Republican
and deivnt citizenry to the liu-t elective
ditch. Both bodies nniht be clean and
free from reproach of this sort m that
what Uiey shall do will, at leat, never
be attributed to the predisposition of
any of ita members to the lower order
of nxnety or U .We that minister to,
or patronise them. John W. lVibbidge
and V. C. Law may be trusted to up
hold the letter of the police law. and

council, will attend to the csmervtive
financing of the city ami the ordaining
of newsssary law for the moral safe
guarding of the people, hile Mayor
Suprcncnt. and A. B. Dalgity a Auditor

Treasurer; A. S. Tee, a Survey, and
James K. Kearney a Stivet Superin

administration of m-h edicts as shrill he
put forth for the mvurity and defence
of tlie populace at large.
o
YOU ARE NO REPUBLICAN.
You are no Republnaa if you fail to
register, and if, having registered, you
fail to vote the party ticket from May
or to the lat Councilman named, you
are still no Republican: And the ni
aoa will not be wanting for tlie charge.
There never t a perid in the JiiMory
of this city hen it wan io imperative
for party allegiance a at this moment.
Tlie community U menaced with a re
vulsion to okl-time licence and broad
cast immorality and the minority ptrty
w forcing itself tV tlie- fifmt ois a
dangerous platform of subversion and
treachery, and tlie Republican that will
stand idly by and ee the thing done,
without putting himself in position to
fight and down the gang and it rot
ten strategem, is no sort of a Republican
and not any too goiid a citizen. The
warning ha leen sounded daily in the
columns and by every loyal Astorian that
ha had knowledge of the situation and
nerve enough to utter his sentiments;
the Democrat- and their barnacle have
never denied the accusation either by
word of mouth nor by any public utter
ance in the pre, and they cannot, if
Miey would. You know your duty.

INDICATIONS COMFORTING.
Public sentiment anent the city cam
paign is comforting for the Republican!.
so far as it can be ascertained on the
streets. There U no newspaper talk ex
cept what U put up by this paper, and
that indication is one of the strongest
at hand, for if the Democrat had any
tiling to fight for, that they dared get
into the fWVl with, openly and candidly.
they would have been there long ago;
but tliey are estopped from making a
square fight for a "wide open town" by
the very nature of the cause itself;
what scrap they are putting up i done
unl cover, and the evidence tlt)il
ooze to tlie surface are few and vague
and indeterminable. Public expression
on all sides is with the Republican tick-
et and program and it comes Trm no
vestpocket contingent, either. Stand
pat ami tlie day U ours. Don't scratch
the tickft at any point, for any reason;
The Demo-Demi-Semi fragmentation i
on the slide to defeat ami no cushion
at the bottom.
GIVEN THEM A STATUS.
One of the first duties for Congre- to
attend to after assembling i passing
an act defining the legal f-tatus of the
Porto Iiican. They are not aliens and
cannot lx natoralizvd, yet the court
have decided ttat tliey sre not citizens
of the United State, and hence cannot
vote. Natives of I'orto Rico can vote
at local elections held in the island, but
in the United States a I'orto Rican occu
pies an anomalous position, being neith
er citizen nor alien, but merely a chat
tel of the fiovernment. Nor is there any
provision in tlie lnw which will permit
him to extricate hints If from political
dependence on a political dependency.

INITIAL SERVICE FINE.
General Creely pronounce-, the recent
stories about telegraphic communication
between Sitka and Seattle a "mass of
fiil-ehoods." He says that only two
trilling defect in the government cable
wt) oWrvcrj, arjl tut these were
promptly remedied. The country has
at least two reasons for rejoicing over
this eiareckion of the missthiementi
which have been current. It would be
unfortunate to have any serious inter
ruption of this service, and tfie cable in
question is one of the first of its kind
that has ever been manufactured in the
United States.
HEIRLOOM OF BLOOD.
It is proi'iesicd that on the death of
he queen the littp state of Holland
till give over the vanities of royalty
ind liecome a republic . Tlie prestige of
the Netherlands passed with tlie achie
vements of lilierty. It was the courage,
tlie heroism developed in that war
against overwhelming odds that made
every Hollander a Hercules, and Uiat
caused the nations to stand apart in
wonder. lVphe the atrocities of Spain,
the execution, the holocaust, the mas
sacre; in which were destroyed what
tlie pererutr! believed to be the let
lives of the country, the people seem d
to gain fresh inspiration under every
outrage and tliey triunivhcd St last, not
merely for themselves, but for tlie world
for they were fighting for civil and re
NgHHis liberty, and tlte principle they
declared am thossi which rule tmlay
wherever civilisation i confessed.
MATCHLESS FOR NUMBERS.
Tlie manufacture of matches Is one
of the great industries of tlie world. Be
fore t.'ie uncivil war there wa not a
railroad in the United Stale that would
carry them, cither a freight or cNpress.
as they were considered too dungerou.
They had to be transported by wagon vr
canal. But all this has been revolution
ized, -lust now the output of the match
trust each day in tlie year i 2(M.SI
par or straw board boxes, containing
from Hi to .VN) matcta each. Tlie an
nual product quickly run into billions.
The biggest factory in the world i iu
Kngland. and belongs to the American
corjioration controlling W per cent of
our home industry. We also import bil
lions of matche from Sweden, Italy
slid other Kuroean countries. Japan
make nearly all the matches ued in
Chin sod their) chapnos and gtssl
quality would stagger humanity.

UP TO DATE.
Sleeping can were introduced on in
lerurlmn tndley line in Imliana. thn-e
or four years ago, and a buffet tar is
now in service on the electric railway
which take sightseers from Washing
ton to Mmnt Vermm. Inasmuch a
smoking H already tolerated in open
can during the greater part of tlie year
there is little opportunity now left for
imitating tiie example of the steam
road in provisions for tlie comfort of
the passenger.
n
About this time, a the old almanac
used to say, look out for a yielding of
Sublime Iirte to the concert of the
power. Tlie Turk may make the allied
fleet steam right up to the point of
beginning business, but in the end he
will surrender ti Kismet.

Uncle Andrew Carnegie says lamest
poverty bhould not be abolished, but
up to date efforts to abolish honesty
have not been tending in just that di
rection. 0
With the advent of the wireless tele
graphy some of the old-time trick play
ed upon sea captain seem likely to be
rendered nugatory. A stowaway from
Porto RiiD, for instance who wa caught
on a ship bound for these 4'iorcs was
returned on a ship lioiind for that in
land, by the u of thi new mean of
communication.
o
Water Cure for Constipation.
Half a pint of hot water taken half
an hour before breakfa-t will usually
keep the bowel regular. Harsh ca
thartic should be avoided. When a
purgative is needed, take Chamber
lain's stomach and liver tablets. They
are mild and gentle in their action. For
sale by Frank Hart and leading drug-gist.
In the near future the Democratic
question will lie: "Ate Mr. Bryan, Mr.
Hearst ami Mr. Tom Johnson present!"
If the answer is ',n the affirmative, the
chairman will remark: "Then let the
campaign prof-eed."
