ASTORIA'S OWN WAY. 1 Every live community on this roast baa it own peculiar style) of doing thing. Some forrifull plan whereby it J captures the good things of life and business. Astoria tnut have a policy of b?r own for succeeding along tin line, and one, eonvicing predicate for such achievement, i to take a grip H' on jU public enterprises and hold on like death until her spunk and pluck A recognized and catered to by the rap uTiiKrtST3fiT?riBtBar on the out- J aide and which, sooner orialri be r . 1 01 4 . Jit. voiunuriiy given 10 ner. .-ne mum lake h initiative in everything that con cerns Vr. By doing so lie invites keen observation and warrants the holster ing that ia sure to follow her own com nwndable snap and enterprise. Popular pluck it just as valuable an asset a. dollars in many a rase, and the constant exhibition of business nerve and eour age begets reputation for progress and get-up-and-go-itivene-s that, like a rolling snow-ball, prows as it goe Such a reputation is worth hundred of thousands to a city like this and it is time she was getting what belong to her. Shell do it, too! 0 CANAL QUESTIONS. lite grand jury sitting in Cine innat i ha iviunied a true bill against leading coal tvmitank. charging conspiracy in straint of trade. The indictment de clare that the concerns and their repre tentative combined to fix prices of coal at figure tiiyher than would hav iwulted from competition, forty men are to face justice. This is an example of the middle man's "trust, a coin bine rarely railed against because not sufficiently great to attract attention It la inforesting to speculate whvther, if all the faos are known, it would not be found that in a majority of instances the middle men, who groan agaiust the great trust, are not themselves the diief d.'spoilera of the "public." e BOUNCED. Swtarr of State Storm of Iodises has been asked by Governor Haiily tiike his hat and go. lie is the secoml memlier of the cabinet of the state to he forced to reign through irregular ity. Wlien hi quarterly settlement wa due October 1st, the story goe that he owed the State $77,000. To raie thi amount it is said he turned over to trustee securities on which $41,000 wa raised. The remainder was .contributed by friends and the hook balanced. Governor ILtnly got wind of the affair and the demand for Storms' resignation is the result. AMATEUR DRAMATIC CRITICISM The attack on Chairman Shout of the Panama canal commis-ion in the senate debates, and the intimiation that perhaps Shonts will resign or will eventually be foreed to retire unless he shall decido to sever wholly his cornice tion with the Clover I-af Railroad, of which he i still the nominal bend and director of "larger polick," is rather tcrri'yinjf to those who really want to the United States Mii-eeed in dig ging the mmil. If the canal couiinis ion is to change it personnel, and particularly the srtuul directing and executive head of the great undertak ing, every few months, what will be the fa t of the undertaking ! The prei dent got rid of the Wilker canal cone inn and selected a commission after bis own heart, w it h Wallai to Is- chief engineer. Wallace "stuck it out" for a few nioiiii'iits and wa folloue.l by Steven. The change of engineers meant a i-liiM'e ill the inethml of iijieiatioil and n o itain nie,i.iire of demoralization of the tafT.

Secretary Hitchcisk informs the pov eminent that in the federal. a ill every other employ, good salaries must lie paid good men and that low wnes means decreased efficiency. The ptal departments of the first and second class where t0f a year is the figure to start, hav suffered from a sy-tein which provides pay attractive only to mediocre or Inferior labor.

There i one man always deserving of your sympathy and help; that is the MMir man unskilled as to a trade or profession, who is hon-tly and labor iously trying to feed and clothe laig.' family. If you can give si.ih a man work, do so; if he works for you, pay him fair wages, and do not make him wait for his monev. .o more serious problem confronts any man than this: How to feed, clothe, and educate a large fiunilv of live or six children on average daily earning- of leu than dollar and a half a day. Men have two kinds of ambition, one for dollar making the other for life- making. Nome turn all their ability. education, health, ami energy toward the first of these, and call the result hucis-ss. other turn t!:etu toward the second, into character, u-cfiiiness, help fulness, and the world it v.iy apt 10 all thiMii failures; but history call them sticces-es.
