The Republican party of Astoria is confronted with the solemn and impera tive duty of reorganization. The jssue of Wednesday's election loaves no other lina of organic action open to them. The Democratic party is in the local saddle and has its eyes upon the June contest which will be final for years to come, if it shall fall to them. There is nothing to bJ gained by dallying with this imperative demand. Flushed with their recent victory, the Democrats will thir political work, and the one-time "OitweV will n find whom he ha made hi master. So 1 it Th poli tioal alignments in the City of Atria. from Um day forth, are the Republican and Democrat. Tlte-e, and the iwly. EXCELS THE VERY RUSSIANS. THE POPULAR MANDATE. The. very tirmith of the tiiajoiitie cast at WeJnemlay ehvtion const it lit its most unequivocal feature. Had they been motlcrate there niiplit have been room for mi-Jcadiug ambiguities and unwl'ikomj dmbU that would have prolonged a situation that was acute enough a it was. The popular naimlatc i for an opcu town; no editor ial nor other ihotry can obliterate that fact, and it is a waste of time to indulge, in it In good time the man data will be fulfilled to the last ve tin of it authority, and the sooner no, the better the arbiters of Astoria's futuic will be pleased. The people do not like their edicts bandied about or dawJUal with. The Democnita are charged with the duty of undoing the work of Sheriff Unville and the soonc they get at it the . better. Of course they are going to U- caution and not make Muck and drake" of the- pre tige they hare gained, but that they wilt carry out the utter measure of the popular bidding need not be discount ed nor doubted. . U. S. SENATOR J. M. GEARIN. The Astorian has one single objection to the appointment of John M. Gear- in to the federal senate. He is a Dmno erat We admit it is insuperable but it b all the objection we can find,' ami no self-respecting Republican paper is going to forgo it sole cliance for ob jection. Otlierwie Mr. Oaiia is entire ly acceptable. He is in his prime, 1 broad minded, liberal, far-seeing, well trained publicist, with the pride of State behind him and of large and wholesome m-a.sD on public affairs. He C7 a will ably second every efforof bis col league, Senator Fulton, in the urgent work of securing the indispensable ap propriation for the development of the ureal public works underway in tin 9 j - State, nor are we afraid to trust him upon the less tangible and more ethics issue that confront men in h post tion. We wish him a pleasant year of service and congratulate the State up on the selection made by the Governor. 0 , THE DANDY IDAHO. , IIIUHIIHJIU the di- 1 wuncnea at an Ammran vnr.i in liat nfean a dunlirata vipfnrv fnr thm li i r t j iiuh iwo years, xnese reuses are June.

IVihup it will be different thi time, but it i safe to say that the financial reform he ha pledged himself to carry into effect in Macedonia will come to a full stop the first time a complication aris en in European politic that will destroy the conceit In fact, the sultan i lad ing required to yield up the flrt funda mental of sovereignty in Macedonia the right to collect and dispose of rev enue. The powers insist that the taxes shall be collected and expended by a commission over which the Sublime Porte ha practically no control. Thus Macedonia, while nominally remaining a Turkish province, .will be financially in dependent and really! under the protec tion of the six great Christian powers of Europe. The condition prevailing in Macedonia justify some drastic meas ure of amendment, but it must be a8 tuitted that the right of the sultan to rule in hi own dominion I sharply challenged by the system tlie powers in sist shall be established irt Macedonia, o TIME SMOOTHS ALL THINGS. . ;;v ' , ' ... "Bicycles,? said Judge Hurke in hi opinionreudered iu the eae of Thomp son v.

Opposition has never succeed ed in driving wit of existence any ma chine or contrivance that coiTlributes to the comfort, convenience or profit of any .vMitprhle nortion of the public.

Emiitable terms in such ca is a rate conceit! However, President Roosevelt also favors ioint tatehood and he lias appointed Govern or Ifagerman, it is not siirpilning that the latter should be of the same mind.

If half that U told of Cem ral Sak halin is true, lie wjis a monster 6f cruelty, of whom the world may be glad to be rid. Yet it was a hideous thing to "remove" him by assassination, and the tragedy is another ominous sign of (he time in Russia. It emphasizes the For 'evevral years the political term fatuous wickedness " of those who are '3ei!en" party, "Citizens"' council, fomenting disorder in order to' compel uuizens artministmtion, "titizens'" reation and abandonment of reform this, that and the other thing, have It is doubtful if complete reaction would been the slogan and rallying call in now 1 possible, eren if the cur should tm city. The fool farce is at an end. attempt it. for reaction and repression With an appreciative sense of the real require force, and where in all Russia good owe done by the. original Citizen1 coalition in thi city, we bid adieit to tlie old and actual organization, and hail its successor to the municipal poli tical field. The Dvmoc-at have skill fully and deliberately absorlied the rist Wan and utility of tlie Citizens' party nd function, nU thrtre Is no- use Ixxndying words about it. It has been so cleverly done the very absorbee are till unconscious of the hocus-pocus and will not realize it until tome issue is raised that conflicts with Democratic program, and then it will be too late; the Democrats are yery thorough in is a suiiicicnt and trustworthy force for that purpose now to be found T With all the army loyal it would be a tremendous task to suppress such an up rising as is now in progress. With the army honeycombed with disaffection nd regiments daily deserting to the side of the revolutionists, and with the navy practi-atly annihilated, the task would seem to lie hopeles. It is truly said that Count Witte's burdens grow heavier day by day. It must be re garded as equally true that whoever wantonly add to their weight, on either side is a foe to the KussiaA fatherland. 1 iiifMllj, a copy of one of his books.
