What is needed in this good world of our just now is the utter abandonment of the debt principle. Xot the relin quishment of our honest obligations as they stand, but the leaguing of mankind against future engagements of the sort. It will take the last and best element of manliness to adhere to such a pro gram, bat it is one of those things that will grow, and its development will bring gradual freedom and ease in its exercise. The financial status of human society today is almost wholly and literally on the debit side. It is slowly eating out the independence of than, and making for slavery and bitterness on all sides. Men eoalece upon other great principles, that do infinitely less good; why should they not merge in an effort to revolu tionize a condition so palpably false and detrimental as this! The freedom from debt is, of itself, a pha.e of competence immensely appreciable. Such a move ment would be heralded with acclaim, and might live long enough to establish the reverse principle. . THE RIVER BOUNDARY. The dual commission now in session in this city looking up evidence where with to establish the legal and honest boundaries of Oregon on the north and Washington on the south, as far as they abutt upon the waters of the Columbia river, has an immense and delicate tak to perform. The interests involved are enormous and correspondingly valuable; the careful culling of direct testimony, its equally careful record, and deliberate presentation before the court of lat resort in the nation, with all the neces sary argument appropriate, is an under taking of tremendous import, now, and for the future, for as that great tribunal .shall determine the issue, so will it stand for ages. The riparian districts of both states are growing swiftly in population, and investments, and the work now underway mut be done with scrupulous fidelity and extraordinary acumen, in order that both common wealths may issue from the adjustment without loss or reproach. We wish all the gentlemen concerned the best result' in this great task, and a due measure of credit when they shall have concluded the initial task. . REGATTA, OR NO REGATTA! Regatta, or no regattat That is the question for Astoria to settle during the next few weeks. She has done, and is doing, good work this summer, to ill ustrate beyond all cavil her generosity and her public spirit. Few towns in the state have gone to the lengths she has this season in the way of enterprise, and if she abandoned the regatta prin ciple for a twelve-month, she would not be blamed very much; but can she afford to forego her annual and particular fes tival ? That is the issue. Her fame for hospitality and entertainment are woven in the peculiar merits of the re gatta, and it should be kept alive and flourishing; but it is up to the people, and they will soon hand down the edict for, or against, the popular indulgence.

A young man walked into P. F. Freiderich's jewelry store on Broadway. Brooklyn, yesterday, poked a revolver under a salesman's nose and walked out unmolested with a tray of diamonds valued at 1000. There were only the clerk and the robber in the store, a the supposed customer wat looking over, some engagement rings. Suddenly the robber whipped out, a pistol and pointing it straight at the salesman's face, said: 'If you move or shout for help I'll shoot a hole through you." The salesman did not move and the robber departed with the tray of jewels under his arm. 1 0 PHEHISTORICS UNEARTHED. SYRACUSE, N. Y, July ll.-A special to the Post-Standard from Watertown, says : .
