A new and malignant malady has made itself manifest in Washington, an 1 though the infection is rigidly confined to a small group of men (and most of them self-innoeulated), it is none the less interesting, and especially so to the citizens of this state. It is called "Ore gonopbobia" and the worst known case now under contemplation is that of Sec retary Hitchcock, of the Department of the Interior. He became innoculated 'with it about the time Binger Herman was sent back to Congress, after hc.the secretary had succeeded in coupling him tip with the land-fraud matters. From the day Mr. Herman re-entered Wash ington as Oregon's representative from the First Congressional dia" trict, the aged minister has been possessed with an incurable and ir radicable hatred for everything hailing from Oregon, until now his case is unique in its conspieuouanesa and hope lessness. Some few of his nearer hench men are infected, but not to hurt. The honorable secretary's sad malady has assumed a virulent phase of late, and its animus is directed purely and personally to United States Senator Charles W. Fulton, of this state and city, who recently had occasion to utter the reasonable eonviction that Secretary Hitchcock "was in hi dotage." The secretary will leave nothing undone to hamper, annoy and defeat Mr. Fulton, in his insensate desire for revenge, and is now on a still-hunt for some episide in the senator's career upon which to fasten the tentacles of his wrath. Sena ton Fulton's official career has been plainly and plentifully marked with the evidences of the secretary's unreason able hatred of things and people Oregon- ian, and to this one source alone, is attributable his failure to do all for the state he wanted to do. The whole situa tion has been thoroughly understood at the national capital and the Oregon senator is not alone in the inference as to the New Hampshire man's senility. Mr. Hitchcock's attitude at the pre? ent moment, and hhs openly avowed, malicious pursuit of the Oregon senator, is proof positive of the correctness of the batter's assumption that the minister is in his dotage. The lack of dignity, self-poise and official honor, conspicuous in his relation throughout the whole affair, warrant a severer conclusion than that. wide-spread reproach that now oppresses her. It it inevitable that the question able classes houKl ; k to override law and ordinance when they lvalue that the very sinews of control are furnished by them and their flagrant operations 0 THE GULLIBLE WOMAN. It is beyond comprehension that the ordinary woman of today should fall so ready a victim to the advertising fraud, and give up her good name and her re sources to the plausible acoundivla that play upon her susceptibilities by skil fully worded "personals" and such like baitings. A woman in Portland, Me., presumably, a real live Yankee woman. saw an advertisement the other day call ing for "a young woman, with a thou sand dollars, as a partner in a hotel venture," etc., etc.. and she traveled a thousand miles to walk into the trap, and lost everything, hir self-respect in cluded. They are altogether too easy, and the marvel is, that more use is not made of their stupidity. Not one nmn in a thousand would consider such an advertisement for an instant; but the lone woman will take a plunge, anyway, without even stopping to ask advice from some nearby friendly man or wiser woman. But, then, woman is a law un to herself ,as a rule, and only the mar ried ones are safe from such allure ments, and they only, when th?y INten to the counsels of their husbands. THE GERMAN SOCIALIST. The social democrat of Germany has had another, supposedly, hard rap from the government of the "Fatherland." None of that ilk are to be permitted to teach, in anv capacity, hereafter, a they are, constitutionally, impaired, by reason of their creed, from imparting to the young the tenets of "religion, love of the Fatherland, and loyalty to the Royal Family." It will be no particular hardship to the ordinary socialist over there, hpwever, its the three non-esen tiab alluded to, constitute the actual fundamental reasons for their being socialists at all. It will take something more than this to curb socialism in Oer- manv. at Hudson's Bay about August, The in an season in America i thereore 1 most perpetual. 0 ' The Cincinnati telephone girl may not know how to protect herself from mash ers, but when she announces that she J taking boxing lesson for that purpose, she demonstrate that she know a thing or two about advertising. 0 Dancing masters have issued a don't hug decree, but the young gallant are likely to Mud powder on the shoulders of their evening coats the next morning just the same. "" 0 Simplified spelling will be economical too. There will be no need to buy pelling books. RAISING MUNICIPAL REVENUE The charter commission now in ses sion for the purpose of supplying the urgent reforms needed in Astoria's municipal code, have done one wise thing in the matter of amending the revenue-raising section so as to dispense with the absolute necessity, and re liance, of, and upon, the fines and for feitures from the disorderly elements, for the sum of the city's expenditures. The commission proposes to raise the limit of city taxation from 1 per cent, to 2 per cent, thereby giving the local treasury sufficient money to meet the current obligations of the city without having sole recourse to the penal moneys collected in the police court. This is not only wise in an administrative sense, but is, morally, a far better and cleaner process. Besides it is of a firmer and more reliable basis and will not fluctuate from month to month. It takes just ao much money to run a city of this size, and the 1 per cent now fixed by charter is inadequate to meet the normal de mand of local government, and the 2 per cent tax will just comfortably cover the annual budget. The advanced prop erty tax will have the effect of leaving the city very much freer in the regula tion of the vicious phases of society here and render Astoria less amenable to .the OO OOOOOOOOOOOO C?0 OO 0 EDITORAL SALAD. 0 000000000000000000 There should be no "factions" in this little city our ours. Every improvement made enhances the value of all property in and surrounding our town. We should live as one big family, and we believe few towns can show np a more progres sive and intellectual family. We have as few "black sheep" in our place as any flock in the state. When there is discord in the family there is little pro gress. When there is a united pull there is little we cannot accomplish Envy, jealousy and hatred pull us all down. Envy is a canker that gnaws at the heart and makes one sour, dis gruntled and unhappy. Jealousy makes one unfair in passing judgment; hatred does not pay even from a sordid point of view. Let us all be friends and pull together and show our neighbors what a large and harmonious family can ac complish in building up a town. 0 A contemporary says that it should be remembered that the newspaper is for everybody and hence must publish something for everybody. If you see something which is of little interest to you, remember "there are others" and that the entire paper is not printed es pecially for you. The very thing that is dull and uninteresting to you may be the best thing in the paper for some other reader, and other readers have just as good a right to be pleased as you have. There are whole pages in the paper that are no interest to us, but they are to others. A paper which con tained but such matter as would inter est any particular one of us would have a very limited number of readers. There are many people of many minds, and the paper must have something for each. 0 The disaster in San Francisco has made the people acquainted with the use of paper money. Previous to the earthquake gold and silver were the only mediums of exchange handled by the people. The banks and the hotels used paper to some extent but the wage earner received his pay in coin and the small shopkeeper refused to take paper on the plea that he saw so little of it that he was unable to detect the gen uine from the counterfeit. Now all this is changed and the people are finding to their astonishment that paper is con venient as portable and sound as their boasted metal. 0 - Verily the doctors threaten soon to leave us with nothing on earth fit to eat or drink. The latest raid on the works of the Almighty is by a Buffalo doctor, who proclaims that the strawberry, that most toothsome and delicious of all the little fruits, is a breeder of insanity, which, he says, increases largely during the strawberry season. If so it must he among those who cannot get any. The strawberry season begins in Cuba and Florida in early winter and ends up SHANGHAIED ASHORE, Yacht Captain Summarily Impressed In to a Soda Factory.

Singular Effect of Tacoraa Booze on tb Repotoria Mind. A few days ago an eighty-pound royal Chinook salmon from the Columbia, made a sortie into the Sound, and the following is but one of the effects of his visit there, so tat as heard date: "A huge whale floundered through the Narrows north-bound early yesterdny morning. L. C Cover, the local weather forecaster, who has a camp on the Narrows, saw the leviathan plainly and estimates its length at 50 feet. It pass ed about 7 o'clock and made a furious hubub in the deep waters. It wallowed and plunged as though life was all a huge picnic for whales and the noie of its passage could be heard for a long distance. "This is supposed to be the same whale that was seen in the vicinity of Bel lingham several day ago, coming south. The leviathan" is supposed to have been down in the Olympia neighborhood. calling on the state officials and paying his respects to the state in a general way. "Nearly every year campers along the Narows see a whale or so." Tacoma Ledger. 01 FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ASTORIA Astoria's New and HOTEL!

Pleae mention the Astorian HOW THE OYSTER FEEDS. The oyster has to work for what he eats. This is not a case of earning his bread by the sweat of hi face for he is in a sweat all the timt; and all over. He draws through his gills many gallons of water each day. Then he strain out the minute, microscopic organisms that float in the water. Each diatom or or ganism has to travel a distance from the point it touches on the gills to the stomach. It must not be thought that the oyster is like some men who swallow everything that comes their way, nor select with great car his diet. He will not eat filth unless it is a matter of starvation. All this talk about contag ious germs in a heaKhy oyster is the vaporing of a vivid imagination. Oys- terman. GOSPEL OF JUSTICE. The slaying of George Mitchell by his sister, melancholy tragedy that it is, is a small part of the legacy left to this country by the late Mr. Crcffield. When the roll of the damned is made up, if the distinguished name of Crefficld is not found far up toward the head of the list, and the illustrious Edmund himself a chief bower at the right hand of the devil, then hell is not what it is cracked up to be, and the scheme of eternal punishments a misfit.
