Every Republican in Clatsop county, candidate and voter, is amenable to the policy adopted by tihe party at it . recant meeting in this city, to refrain from pledging themselves, or the party. to any candidate fop any office on tbe ticket in June. The fundamental idea of the primary law is the absolute freedom of the voter and the candidate in the selection of those for whom their votes shall be cast, and this spirt of po litical tolerance has, been squarely met by tbe party here, and it is most es sential that the candidate shall be left absolutely untrammeled, before, and after, his nomination and election. It is the only logical course to pursue, and since the consensus of partisan feeling in tbe matter was ascertained at the late convention here, it would be in bad taste, and faith, for anyone to com mit himself, or seek to commit another, end that other candidate before the people, to any man or set of men. A square deal for all concerned is the existing idea, and any effort to bias, or allure, or convict, any man, or men from the straight-forward line of ac tion to which all hands are committed, is tantamount to treachery. ' ' 0 ' JUST ONCE, PLEASE! The Astorian is as sick and tired of the old, incessant cry of "Ring", "Ring", as anyone else, in, or out, of the party, here, and welcomes the freedom of the situation imposed by the primary law in releasing men from the burden of pledges. For just once; at least, it de sires to stand by and see the will of the voters expressed without the interfer ence and away of interested influences, and count itself clear of the minor, but hampering, dictum of clique prestige and entanglement. Besides, it cannot, in good faith, adopt any other course, after the express adoption of this atti tude on the part of the representatives of the party at the meeting in this city on the 12th. Any other promises car ries a hint of treachery to established party rule, and will be so construed in and out of the councils of the party here. every charye, a,ro and evocpt tho one of "punishing nevcily without euum' And in this relation lie Is but tacitly guilty and technically responsible. Thei wn be no doubt the jjood people who preferred the charges were timvimyd of hi guilt upon each and every head, and so believing, did only what might !e expected of them under the ciioum stances, but parents are as often tit victims of children's tales, us are teachers themselves, and both, puit.es to this unpleasant episinle, hate" acted under the impetus given by the otutg stois. Thu principal took the word of everal of his scholars Upon a given matter, and punished another severely for nn unmerited offennej and the parents, acting upon the reports of thtir children and other people's, took the necessary and proper steps to correct a situation they believed to be IhiJ. The affair is closed by the prompt and wide ly choeu action of the board in shift ing Mr. Hester's sphere of activity and relieving the Alderbrook people of a real, to them, source of complaint. Bolh parties to the affair have been tmply recognized and protected, and there is nothing left for them to do, bat drjvtr the inevitable lessons inherent in the situation. THE PRIMARY LAW. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some Republicans to cir cumvent, if possible, the primary elec tion law. It is no use to try, brethren, the primary election law has come to stay, and you have got to take your medicine. Of course it is hard on a few, those of you who could sit in your offices and drop a note to Tom, Pick, and Harry, "You mut bring your dele gation down to the convention for Bill Jones for representative, Tom Jonea for clerk, Dick Jones for county judge; and say, if you think Abe Line urn is go ing to kick on your naming the delega tion, tell him that I have things fixed with Bob so that he will get to be supervisor; and, say, I believe I owe you $30 on that last timber deal. En closed find check for $15, will pay you balance when I see you at the conven tion," and run things, can do so no more. We feel sorry for you, and for the whole ones family, but rejoice that the people have at last come into their own, and will only have to vote for such yellow dogs as they may see flit to name.

Investigation by a United State:, marshal and a federal commissioner of conditions in the Atlantic oyster fleets have shown the state of affairs to be fully as bad as it has been described. One schooner master was arrested and held for a federal grand jury. The pro visions for the health and safety of his men were frightful. In a cabin six feet wide and two-and-a-half feet high, four men were quartered. The cabin floor often was flooded and the men slept in the water. Stories of men shanghaied and when aboard beaten into submit sion were fully substantiated. The negro slaves were treated no worse on the gold coast in the days of t)e Arab raids. Yet this has gone on or many years in one of the most populous sec tions of the world. Total $793,560.62 LIABILITIES.

Professor Kester has emerged from ?the trouble thrust upon him by the pa trons of the Alderbrook school in a manner that should rau-e him great satisfaction. He was confronted with nix deliberate charges, presented to t'-e board of school directors by a large and respectabl element of the patrons of the school. They were "exhibiting a vio lent temper"; "punishing severely, with out cause"; "refusing to help pupils in their work when it was needed"; "mak ing too free with the larger, girls"; "singing love-songs during school hours" nnd "suspending pupils without cause". Conviction upon any one of these points would have been sufficient cause for his removal, but he stands clear of each and HONORS WERE DUE. American astronomers are pleased to know that one of their number has just been honored by the Royal Astrono mieal Society of Great Britain. A gold medal was presented last week to the American Ambassador for transmission to Professor W. W. Campbell, of the Lick Observatory, in recognition of his studies of the motion of stars directly toward or sway from the observer. Though the full value of this work can be appreciated only by experts who are themselves engaged in stellar researches, its very nature makes a quick appeal to the imagination of the uninitiated. Professor Campbell has determined the velocities with which a great many stars that appear to be stationary are mov ing. He has also demonstrated that some which had been regarded as single have one or omre companions that cannot be detected by the most power ful telescope. The discovery that the Poler Star is a triple system is one of these remarkable revelations. , Profes sor Campbell's investigations were made possible only by the use of a spectro scope, unique in xizp and capacity, which was presented to the institution. Upon the possession of such rare facilities for study he has been repeatedly con gratulated by his professional breth ren. They will now feel sincere pleas ure in the homage paid him by the foiv most astronomical society of the world, 0 Lame Back. This ailment is usually caused by rheumatism of the muscles and mav be cured by applying Chamberlain's Pain iJalm two or three times a dav and rubbing the parts vigorously at each application. If this does not afford re lief, bind on a piece of flannel sliirhtlv dampeted with Pain Balm, and auick relief is almost sure to follow. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists.
