There is a radical difference between . the inanoial statement with which, the Board of School Directors of District No, 1, (the City of Astoria) goes be fora its people, and the fiduciary report of the city officers lately made to the Common council, and through them to the citizens. Both constituencies are identically the same, to all intents and purposce, and a careful consideration of each statement must convince the taxpayers that the agent in charge of their aohool affairs are better equipped to do the real thing than the municipal staff. The School Directors go back to the people they represent with a sur phis of nearly $10,000, while the city officials hare been compelled to an nounce a shortage equally as large. It is idle to comment on the situation. It apeak for itself. The some conditions Of excellent control end management at tatch to the results of the Astoria Water Commission as shown bv its re cent report, and so it goes. Brag and bluster are all right in their places, but dollars and cents to the public credit outclass them in the long run. The Democrat will correct all these things in good time, NIT. Of course, the Re- publiams are wholly responsible for the deficit just announced in the city bud got; they are the popular scape-gnat just now, but that kind of thing wears out after while and it may occur to the thinking citizen and taxpayer some day soon, that the onus of this discrepancy in the municipal balance belongs else where; that perhaps there is an over weening adherence to Democratic advice and counl that is chargeable with these thing; when this conviction does arrive, please do the Astorian the be lated, but righteous justice to remem- ber that it warned you months ago of the trend of affairs aud named the aC' tual source of renponsibility.

There ere but two political organizations in Astoria, at this day and time, whatever the future may develop; they are Re publican and Democratic Parties. We concede the splendid adroitness of the Democrats leaders in wsrping the "CStisena"' inovcmdit to their camp sod bidding; it was a masterly snd suc cessful movement, and ab-olutely un questionable in its results, it makes them supreme in local affairs, and if jou don't believe it, watch their pro grtm unfold itself between now and the June election day.

"I was surprised to see you with that sensational paper in your hand." "Oh, I don't read it, I only write for It." Aunt Eliza and anyway, she was de termined to see Frank when and where she could, and she would be true to him always. She sobbed a little and nabbed her eyes with ber handkerchief, swelling with pride at tbe similarity of her position with that of bsr favorite. persecuted heroine. Frank had preserved a moody si lence, his eyes fixed on a distant bill board Just now being spread with flam ing posters. Suddenly be started up alertly, a broad smile chasing the gloom from his countenance, Tbe amlle In creased to a wide grin, a chuckle, and presently, to Kitty's astonishment, he broke Into gust of laughter. "Girlie, I've got. the greatest Idea ever! We'll be married and not run up against auntie's veto either!" lie gleefully explained ths scheme that had flashed into his mind. There's a sort of negative consent In her declaration, though aba never dreamed of It; of course, but she'll see lt herself," ha as serted. Kitty reflected gravely, saw ths point, waa suddenly and completely convinced of Its legitimacy and added a rippling chime to bis guffaws. They arranged everything down to the smallest detail snd decided that during the Intervening time they would conduct 'themselves, as If In jpbmjs- tly in bis pocket uare you the trouble to scan closely this small piece of silver?

Over two routes they travel via Rock Island System for good share of the distance. You can go by way of Ogden, Salt Lake and Colorado, or you can go by way of San Francisco, Los Angeles and El Paso, and the Rock Island will land you in Kansas City, St. Louis or Chi. cago. Direct connection in Union Stations at all three cities for all important points in the East and South. Or the traveler via Northern route can take the Rock Island from Minneapolis and St Paul to Chicago. v Rock Island service is the kind that gratifies best meals on wheels. a. h.
