RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED. j There is always the possibility of a j city like this being compelled, at certain J seasons of her development, to borrow j money, for some proven and profitable purpose, and to utter bonds for the re payment of the money so used. As a general thing, at such junctures, re course is had to the open, general money market, and more frequently than not, the Eastern market, with the unescapa ble consequence that the interest and principal goes thousands of miles away from home and is lost to the community as a fixed asset, forever. There is no need of this; such money should be raised at home, used at home, paid at home, to serve again at home, and in deference to this admirable principle we respectfully submit to the Charter Com mission now on duty, the necessity of providing for a change is this needless sacrifice of local revenues to eenters and sources that are without a spark of in terest in us, beyond our ability to pay our particular debt to them at the ap pointed time. Let the new charter eon tain a clause, to be employed at the op tion of the city of Astoria, permitting her to issue home-loan, bonds, payable in five, ten, or fifteen years, at 3 or 4 or 5 per cent per annum interest; the bonds therefore to be issued in small denomi nations of $25, $50 and $100, and to be issued in sequence with their subscrip tion, that is, that the first subsciber for a $25 bond shall receive the first bond utered, No. 1, and so on up the line by gradation until the last and highest bond in the output shall be delivered to the last and highest bidder. The home- loan not only keeps the money at home and upon the same identical basis of security attaching to it as if it went thousands of miles away, namely, the entire taxable wealth of the community, but it awakens a deeper and more last ing interest in the mind of the citizen who loans bis money to his city, in the administration of her affairs and makes him a party of her financial credit, or dis credit, as the case may develop; it gives the local investor an outlet for his capi tal that he knows all about and need not worry over; it keeps the interest money at home and in constant circulation in stead of despatching it to some great, indifferent city thousands of miles away; it gives the poor man with a little to invest a safe and compensating chance for investment right at hand, where he ean, at any time that pressure makes it necessary, convert his bond back into cash; it saves the volumne of the loan to the money resources of the city and does not drain her of that and the in terest on it, for year afterward; in fact every argument is wholly in favor of the principle of executing the loan right in our own market-place and keep ing it there until the day of its dis charge, or the day of its re-bonding, when the whole wise practice may be re enacted. Think it over, gentlemen! There are proofs of its wisdom and efficacy, in abundance! THE PUSH CLUB. The Astoria Progressive Commercial Association, the Push Club, for short, is about to be revived and take up the course of its lively existence here for the good of the city and county. It Is a good thing, and is altogether welcome Kvery agency that can, end will, contrl' bute to the upbuilding of Astoria is needed; and with enough of them in service, she will get a "move on" that will not be abated for long years to come. That is what she need, an ac celerated pace of development that will run along of its own momentum from tin sheer force and weight of her engage ments iu a commercial way. Once this is started, and the gait attained, the habit of doing tilings promptly and suc cessfully will become so strong that nothing can stop it short of some cata- clvsim like that which overtook the Wan- tiful Hay City, and we need not stop foi' the likelihood of such an emergency. Astoria's all right! 0 PROSPEROUS ASTORIA. There is every sign abroad of the prosperity of the City-by-the Sen. As toria's banks are thriving and in robust condition at all points of financial con sideration; the mills of the city are running day and night and cannot over take their orders; the fishermen are all busy and expect to be busier s the days go bye and the steadily increasing run of flh grows to the normal limit; the canneries, likewise; the mercantile affairs of the city are in prime shape and doing all they cau handle; real estate is active; good prices prevailing all along the line, and to clinch the proof of well-being there is not an ide man in town who wants to work and not enough to fill the bill ns it is. There is practically $250,000 appropriated, publicly, and privately, for new buildings and general improvement of plants and premi.-s and the weather is on its best behavior. What more ean be said for a live town! A face that is shining with smiles is very expressive and beautiful, but a face that is shining with a moist shim mering polished complexion is not so adorable. 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. O 000000000000000000 Bricklayers in Japan receive a daily wage of 37 cents. Too many people spend their time hoping for the best instead of working for it. The railroad officials are rivaling the insurance men at the get rich quick game. o King Alfonso's bride is 86 pounds heavier than he. Woo! Think of her at 40. 0 It is a good plan to "pay as you go," but it is also observable that some peo ple are very slow goers. King Edward is reported to be living on toast and tea. He must have read the report of the commissioners. 0 If publicity' is a cure for everything as they say it is, there should be nothing the matter with the hams hereafter. 0 The scientists have now discovered microbes in hymn books; they never seem to think of analyzing a poker deck. 0 Having found that other nations can build $10,000,000 battleships, England is beginning to raise her voice for disarma ment. 0 A true diplomat is the man who has solved the problem of earning his daily bread by the sweat of other mens brows. Some one has been figuring out the number of words a man utters in a year and finds the average to be over 11,800,000. Wisconsin socialists have asked for the abolition of the United States Senate. If their demand were complied with what could the public blame things on? A New York court has ruled that it is not a disturbance of the peace for a gentleman caller to kiss the hostess if she will stand for it in a peaceful man ner. 0 Girls, let this warn you. While dress ing for a party Miss Annie Welshenburn of Belleville, 111., broke her left arm in trying to button her shirt waist up the back. The University of Pennsylvania will confer degrees on 545 young men this week. The time seems to be rapidly ap proaching when a man without a degree will be a good deal of a curiosity in this country. The happiest people in this world are those who keep out of debt, out of politics, out of office, shun notoriety, make an honest living by hon est means, follow the golden rule, humbly serve the living God quietly, and neglect bo opportunity of doing good A dan Francisco loclwlor offers to furnish clothe fir 500 women. If he had ever been, compelled to furnish clothes for one woman, especially along about the time she was getting ready to go to some fashionable place to stay through the hot spell, he would no doubt have disappointed about 41W of them. England i shocked at the American ladies' peek-a-boo waist. They think we arc going around clad in the fashion of Mother Kvc; long descriptions of the shocking garments worn by women here are being published. One journal ha canvassed 20 of the greatest dry goods stores iu London to discover whether there is likely to lie a peek -a -book shirt waist craxe in this truly prim country. Curn Old Sore.

There are many people who havo used Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy with splendid results, but who are unknown because they have hesitated about giving a testimonial of their experience for publication. These people, however, are none the le?s friends of this remedy. They have done much toward making it a household word by their personal recommendations to friends and neighbors. It is a good medi cine to have in the home and is widely known for its cures of diarrhoea and all forms of bowel trouble. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. Issues Restraining Order. Dallas, Tex., June 20 Judge Andrew P. MeCormkk, of the United States Cir cuit Court, yesterday published an order restraining the railroad commission of Texas from enforcing its order promul gated May 30, to reduce passenger fares on the Houston & Texas Central Railroad from 3 cents a mile to 2i cents. The re straining order will hold good until July 10, when the complainiitt's petition for temporary injunction will be heard. The railroad company further asks that un til a full hearing in the cae all of the commission's rates, both freight and pass'-nger, shall be perpetually enjoined. How to Break Up a Cold. It may be a surprise to many to learn that a severe cold ean be completely broken up in one or two days' time. The first symptoms of a cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery discharge from the nose, and a thing, white coat ing on the tongue. When Chamberlain's cough remedy is taken every hour on the first appearance of these symptoms, it counteracts the effect of the cold and restores the system to a healthy condi tion within a day or two.

St., Evanaville, Ind. , writes: "For over five years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago bad to abandon work entirely, I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely cured." TWO SIZES, 50c AND $1.00.
