COLOR LINE IN BRUTALITY.
The American nation once again
breathes naturally and resumes its nor
mal way along the common-piaoe paths
of business and humdrum routine. The
Gans-Xelson fight has been fought and
brute-records have achieved another
momentous entry. The only clever
thing that came out of the history of
it was the superior manliness and de
cency of the negro over the white man
in the processeg of the fijbt. As to all
else it was but another exhibition of
the inherent coarseness of mankind, the
degraded and degrading expression of
the animal in man, set to rule and time
and profit. There is an element of hu
man society that revels in this sort of
thing and never gets above it; there
is another element that sinks to the
necessary level at the enactment of such
such debasing games and gags over the
fallacious plea that it is "-port." We
revert to our sole clean deduction from
this particular fight, that it offered the
nejrro champion an opportunity to dem
onstrate his unequivocal advantage, in
fairness and honor, over the white man
who took his pummelling.

THE FIELD IS CLEAR.
Astoria has done her civic duty no
bly this year, both in behalf of suffer
ing humanity and humanity that need
ed the pleaanter ministrations of en
tertainment. She has worked hard, and
spent her money freply and made her
records of credit on all sMes. The field
is again clear for the con-idcration and
operation of the local enterprises de
manding immediate adjudication. The
charter is, perhaps, the most import
ant of all public maUers engaging pop
ular attention, and the election to
which it is to be submitted is not so
very far in the future; therefore, its
fulfillment and dispat'-h is very requis
ite. The seawall is another grave prop
osition under contemplation, but is, in
a sense, tributary to the disposition
made of the charter, and may. keep a
while longer. The matter of a new and
modem hotel is among the livest of the
pending issues in Astoria and it will
not down because of non-agitation; it
is too e-sential, too conspicuous a need,
and far too imperative to languish long;
it must be brought to the front and
m'f"d to a reasonably quick conclusion,
Astoria must get down to business on
al these point8! .. . - -
' ' THE BRYANESQUE FAD.
Mr. Bryan is never quite the real Will
iam Jennings unless be is nursing a
fad. Unhappily, his fads are of the
kind that turn to petards with a Bry
anward tendency. There is a practical
side to statesmanship that somehow
evades his perspicuous ruminations, else
he might discard some of his less sub
stantial deductions and follow up the
realities for which he is sponsor; but
his pet weakness seems to be in lend
ing the stress of his ingenuity and en
ergy to the hapless -fad that invariably
downs him. There is something fateful
about it; and the regularity of the thing
is becoming monotonous. He seems dis
posed to hedge on his government-own-ership-of
-railroads fad just now; but all
the adroit qualification in the world will
not acquit him of the cardinal and orig-
