O ii DEEP BAUDS OFri There ha been bitterness enough in Astoria, in the past, about individual "butting in" on charter. The forth coming charter-committee must be held absolutely free from tuch interference and niut be organized oa a hasi of popu lar choice that will leave it utterly free from all reproach, or even suggestion of personal, or political, lias. There are certain people Try busy just now with proffpeethre charter work, very solicit ou about the personnel of the charter commission and the expediency of dis posing of the business at an early date, etc-, but their concern outreachee their acumen by a whole lot, and the better part of good citizenship U tp keep band off and allow the people a little away in the premise. There are but three organic bodie in the city that have an inherent right to a the privilege of naming the membership of clurter-commigaion, and they are the Common Council, the Chamber of Com merce, and the Improvement Club. If the nomination to that important com mission are to be made by representa tive elements, these are- the only con stituent and effective sources to make the selections for the people, otherwise, the people mut make their own nomi nations in open meeting called for the purpose. As to the time for the work, the present offers nto advantsgol fop such a heavy and prolonged public task. There is an important election pending that would seriously hamper the work of the commissioners and reniler nuga tory the best hope of the people for a -miie and dependable document such as they want and need. When the June election, and all it contentions, isues and embroilments are laid in th quie tude consequent upon the popular fiat "in such case made and provided", there will be ample time, before the conven tion of the Legislature, in which to take up this grave and essential duty, and it may then be carriH nut with the dili gence and circumspection to which it is entitled. The Mayor is right in every thing he ha said in tlii relation, and le, and such others as are re-ponsilile for the proper fullillnient of this ig DiAiuut duty, must sc to it that "but ter hi" are emphatically, but respect fully, referred to the people. If a eri-i arise by r.-son of their iiiitaiice, the municipal authorities may have recour-e to t!e popular will in the matter by simple culling a public nn-elitig for5 the sole and specific puijio- of nuniing the commis-ion. The A-torian says, again (and the r iteration is apjaretitly bad ly needed), that the cure of charter making conies from the inter 'erenc of lawyers and politicians, and it is hoped the people will bear this in mind whn it come to the organization of the new commission. . EDITORIAL SALAD. . The talk ot pensioning ex-Presidents looks as if the Government contemplated going into the insurance business. Bernard Shaw write that he ha been "cured of vanity, of curiosity, of ambi tion Let u hope it will be perma nent cure, but you never can tell. The old-time fad for talking about one' pi t ailmeuU has happily gone out of date. It i very bad form to speak about disease or death, though in year gone by ailment were a staple topic Xo need to worry, say his friend, over the health of Senator Pepew. All that i needed to restore his grand central smile is a little banquet season, air and exercise behind one of hi famous ch 'st nut.

A &Gchigan doctor has discovered that the anti-toxine employed in cases of diphtheria is a cure for the cigarette habit. If this proves true, it will lie a stronger weapon in the hands of the crnsadrrs against the paper pipe. Although the lively gait at whhdi women move thee strenuous day, and th variety of interests which fill their lieve have done away, to a great extent with the old-time evil gossip, nervous trouble and insomnia have increased. 0 The purchasing agent ot the Panama canal denie that he ha let a $20,000, 000 contract for Russian cement The Senate Committee says it do not be lieve the commission ever let a $20,000, 000 contract for anything but salaries.
