Ever since they won the recent city election the Democratic party has been unwinding a little ball of "yarn" about their perfect indifference to tho "wide open town" proposition, and endeavor ing, in every possible way, to imprest the people with the fact that it had no part in their recent campaign tactics. The game is an amusing one for those who study politics, and it is as shallow as it is amusing. The falsity of the claim is coming to the surface every day in some pronounced way. They secured the adherence of the gambling fraternity and of the dance hall fra ternity, and the correlative batch that votes with that line-up, by unequivo cal promises to "open up everything." If they did not pledge this WHY DID THAT ELEMENT MOVE HEAVEN AND EARTH TO PULL THE DEMO CRATS THROUGH t Are the- people likely to render such bald and bold ser vices for nothing? What did they de sire most by way of reward, if it were not the restoration of their businesses upon the old, free and untrammelled footing! And now they are sagely advNed that it is not expedient; that they must wait till after the June election shall have thrown Clatsop county into the Democratic game bag, when there will be no one to interfere; there will be a Democratic delegation in the legis lature to ward off any radical charter change-; the party in power will be in position to open up without undue in termeddling; they will have the city council, the county court ,the sheriff's office, the police commission, and the legislature; then they will permit the gamblers and the "light-fantastic" proprietors to open up good and wide, and none sball oppose nor thwart them. That's the program. The Democrat deny it. In the meantime, the di-appointed sports are making it dtt-idwdly un happy for the leader who promised one thin and now oouiwl another, and the result will be that there will be no waiting for six month; lieen-s will go out in due course; there will be a hatf-heartel, preconcerted, wholly futile effort or two, made to check it, for the sake of common decency, and 'the little ball of " ide-oen" yam will be merrily unwound until the sjinie old conditions eit 4 hat existed last year and for many a year More that. So be it. commercial traffic margin that there will be nothing left for Astoria to do but secede from both States and set up a republic of her own.

It is a-kiug too much. If the Washington limit are to be nu right along the dolphin lines of lier dockage, she gives tnditbitiable warning, right now, that she will secede, taking with her all the local Lewi & Clark sites she possese and retire to" the Sklpanon, where, if neoessarr. he w ill declare a state of war. 0 THAT NEW TREATY. The CliinaJapan treaty, details of which were given to the world lately. offer several more straw Indicative of international policy. Japan ha wrest ed from China an absolutely open door. Onjy one natiou stood firmly for it and that nation recently played into Japan's hands in Korea. Through Great Brit ain, probably, the deal was effected whereby the United State abandoned Korea to it fate and iu return secured a concession for which this nation has long labored. Other portions of the treaty are important. Japan get the lease on the Liao Tung peninsula for merly held by Russia, including Itolny and Tort Arthur, and control of the railway a far north a Chang Chin. Japan may al-o con-truct a road from Antung to Mukden, but at the end of a prescribed petiod, not disclosed, China may purchase this system. The cities opened under the open door plan in- lude Harbin and many interior ports comprising every important center 01 the Chinese empire. 0 DOWIE'S DOWNFALL. raisers iu that he cannot be on guard all the time, while Tammany is always able to keep somebody watching it opportunities. 0 The proletariat has decided to put Russia out of bninesa by the Inaugu ration of a general strike at noon to day. The signs are ominous. Nothing on earth can save the State except an other manifesto. 0 Ky his sweeping arrignment of all the court of that state. Mr. Jerome has simply compelled the people of New York to look to the district attorney's office for all the justice and honesty they expect to find n this ticked world. It is to be hoped that Mr. I Foltctte will not find he has acted rashly - in resigning the Governorship of Wiscon sin to accept a seat in the United States Senate. Such an act needs mature con sideration, which possibly the Governor has not been able to bestow upon, it during the last year. Am Jtalato LI. A youug lleuteuaut durlug an Afrt can campaign came oue day upon a badly crippled llou. The great brute limped ov2 the tawny aand on three paws, holding Its fourth paw Id the air. And every now and then, with klud of groan. It would pause and lick the lujurcd paw. When the Hon saw tho youug lleuteuaut It came alowly toward him. lie stood his ground, rifle In hand. But the beast meant no harm. It drew close to hlui. It rubbed against hltu with soft feline pun. It extcuded Its hurt paw. The lleuten aut examined the paw aud found that there was a largo thorn lu It lie ex tracted the thorn, the llou roaring with pain, and he bound up the wouud with his handkerchief. Theu, with every manifestation of relief and gratitude, the animal withdrew. But It reuieui bered Its benefactor. It was grateful And la a practical way It rewarded the young man. The lion ran over the regiment's list of officers and ate all who were the lleuteuant's superiors In rank. Thus, lu a few weeks, the youug man, thanks to the astute animal, be cams a colonel. It was the "simultaneous examina tion" of the Chicago banks controlled by one financier 'that called the turn on frenzied finance in the Western city. slon to explain phrases need la 'drlvlnt Talk Tarker.

The State of Washigton is suing the BUte of Oregon for about nine tenths of the harbor of Astoria; in fact the alleged lines claimed by the "Ever greens" will practically absorb the port; at least it will so disconcert the If the news contained in a late Chi cago di-patch be true, the end of John Alexander Dowie's Zion City experi ment is at hand. It is going the war of all the other illusions of the same kind. Dowie was a masterful man; but illness ha now sapped hi strength, and he has turned over the administration of Zion to a triumvirate. Ziou' suc cess was due solely to the strength of his individuality. When his native power began to wane the industries that he had originated and fostercil dropped into idleness, until most df them are closed now. The population has dwindled- from six thou -and to three thousand, and the million of dol lar worth of property that Dowie ad ministered with a marvelous skill is said to be mortgaged almost to the limit of its present value. Zion de pended upon one man for it existence aud vitality, and it is not difficult to forecast it dissolution with Dowie' departure. 0 0 EDITORIAL SALAD.
