I their whole duty on Wednesday next, the new Common Council will be easen tially Republican, as it should be. It will be strange, indeed, if with Karl Knobloch, R. M. Leathers and C. A. Leinenweber, (not to mention James J. Robinson who will certainly be re turned) in the new semi-circle, there u not aa accede of business acumen and ability that will soon make itself mani fest in the plans and purposes and! llnanccs of the city. They are each and all deliberate, thoughtful, success ful men of affair and will be of mate rial assistance in straightening out the fiifincial tangle now confronting the city, by some better and wiwr expedi ents than the DrmocraU propose, no tably, that of "opening her wide to te dominance of the depraved ele ment that have been her curse in the long past. These men, are severally, men of affairs and judgment and whole some methods, and faer moral and mone tary salvation will be safe with their aid and unbiaejl di elimination; end! this hacked by the practical, trained and devoted service of such men as J. W. Suprenant, A. B. Dalgity, John Nordstrom, A. 8. Tee, J,. P. Kearney, in the official and departmental lines, will leave nothing to be denired in the way sensible, effective, economical and sue coenaful administration. BABBIDGE AND LAWS. These two names are very significant of much that is needed in this city just Bow. Tlwfy mean something to t' voter. As police commiwionent they will mean far more. They are atralgfit and clean and know the duty that lies before them, and have the mimi and courage to do it under the law. To date the police commission of Astoria has been something of a farces a poli tical bauble toseel from one side to the otter till It has lost petwtlge and re cognition that is its due; a condition that would never mend, but grow worse under the dominance of such a man as T. F. Laurin and his helplew colleague, J. H. Hansen, but which under the plain, , straightforward, logical and impartial conduct of Babbklge and Laws, ably seconded by Martin Foard, would promptly result in the restoration of the board to its place as a potent fac tor in the municipal melange, a force for real good and for the efficacy with which the law invested it IU functions gain in full and decent play, directed SHOULD HELP OREGON. The chief engineer of the army has asked Congress to appropriate $1,000, 000 for, the continuation of work upon the jetty at the mouth of the Coins bia river. It is claimed that unless the appropriation is made and the work continued, the money expended on this work in the past will be wasted. While there is some reason to ques tion whether the expenditures in the pat on this work have been of rery great value in result accomplished, thflre Is a prospect that the engineer may be correct, and that when the full work b completed there wll be a suth stantial and a permanent deepening of the deadly bar on the Columbia. The eongresxional delegation from Washing ton m view of the fact that Oregon's delegation is practically incapacitated for the performance of any public du ties, should take this matter in hand and do all posnible to secure the need ed appropriation. The Columbia is as much a Washington as an Oregon stream. There hi little prospect that any gen era! river and harbor bill will pass at the present se-mon of Congress. Even when there is no general bill of the character, it is the practice to take care of continuing improvements to which the government i committed, especial ly when It is made to appear that ap propriations are imperative to prevent deterioration of work already done. This is the case with the Columbia riv er bar, and with the backing of the war department the Washington dele gation should be able, by united action, to secure the appropriation which means so much to Oregon and Particu larly to Portland. We may need help ourselves some time. Seattle P. I. 0 ' Aa interesting case has been decided by the board of general appraisers re lative to the value of wearing apparel that a citiaen may purchase in a for eign country and bring in exempt from duty A Mr lint and his wife of Dal las, Texas, were traveling in Canada. He presented her with $190 worth of new furs. Of other raiment they bought none, but Mr. Una 'felt a pro prietary interest in the garments, the lady being his wife, and he declared his interest at $95 and his wife's at e aim ifer figure. 'The matter of fact ap praiser, while recognizing the oneneos of the couple by their marital vow, and the nominal interest of the husband in their collective and separate wardrobes, held that these furs. were distinctly for feminine use and that the husband had no intention of alternating with his wife in their use on. cold days in Tex as which, incidentally, are few and far between. Therefore, the appraiser recognized Mrs. linz aa an individual citizen, for the purpose of the appraise ment, and let only one hundred dollars' worth of the fum pans duty free. The general board upholds the assessment. And there is a point for other business like husbands who go traveling abroad. 0 MURDERESS SUES OK POLICIES Conghlng Spell Caused Death. "Harry Duckwell, aged 25 years chok ed to death early yesterday morning at his home, in the presence of his wife and child, ne contracted a alight cold a few days ago and paid but little at tention to it.
