The mildly inquisitive, with fond re membrances of the time when the dove of peace had its permanent address in the "Pearl of the Antilles," as per of ficial information, might be pardoned for questioning the reference to the Cuban constitution, in view of the fact that the present disonance seems to have driven that bird to the seclusion of a cvclone cellar. n THE INSUPERABLE FACT. The columns of the Astorian are, of course, open to a discussion of any and all matters of public interest; however, we fail to see any practical good of prolonging a discussion of the matter under consideration. The condition of the river between Astria and Portland, also of the entrance to the river, is well known to the U. S. Engineers, and what is more to the point as far as commerce is concerned is well known to the shipping people (owners of ves sels and marine insurance companies) The Astorian can not but agree with the advice of our correspondent to the Oregoniaa to "cut it out." To the time when the mind or ref lection of the oldest inhabitant knoweth ' not this matter of depth of water on the Columbia river bap and in the riv er between Astoria and Portland, has been written and talked about ; and the old song of how Glasgow. Antwerp, Rotterdam, eta, have continued to do shipping business in spite of the fact that they were situated up a river, and not at the entrance, has lost its charms and is stale and unprofitable, especially when the up-to-date facts in! this matter are all against the subject of the song. The railroads, or rather Oregon's transcontinental railroad, preparing to build to Pugent Sound, and much of the import and export shipping trade of Oregon, and that which naturally should be done direct from Oregon, is drifting in that direction, signifies that it is high tme the business men of the State of Oregon should get together and formulate a plan of campaign in the interests of all concerned. The position of the Astorian on this question is well known; that is, the deepening of the Columbia River Bar, first, last and all the time, all other projects to be held in abeyance until that is accomplished! All those whose opinions are worthy' of consideration agree on this matter, amongst them being the U. S. engineers. The Astorian and Oregonian, and also the best posted men on such matters in the state; therefore, while -recognizing the power of "Printer's Ink," we reiterate the declaration that the time has come for action of the most pal- pauie aurw ' 0 1 CAREER VERSUS HOME. 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The American woman is apt to have a figure. At the age of 30 her her waist line begins to thicken, and by the time she is forty it is gone. At fifty it is so wide and so high that you would not recognize it as a belt line. A new story relates that a boy said that be knew the name of the beau sister had in the parlor last night It was George Dont. He had heard her call him George Dont a dozen time or more. 0 Of course, walking suits have the short skirt, which in nine cases out of ten is circular, like the longer ones. But, after all, longer skirts are gain ing in favor more and more every day. 0 The Pennsylvania, Erie and Del aware k Lackawgnna railroad compan ies have announced reductions in max imum paSsenger rates from three to two and a half cents per mile. The English Sense of Humor By CEORCfl ADE.yVmirlcin. tlumoilut and PUywrlfht LL humor is local, What is funny in Chicago isn't funny in .New lorkv It is tho samo tho worlj over. LOCALITY HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH; IT. The English . lmvo a sense of humor, of course, but it is verv different froti: ours. They appreciate impossible situations, when they are portrayed, very keenly. A favorite bit of comedy with them is Ute part of tho play when the servant masquerades as the mistress. It seems so utterly absurd and impossible to them to havo the servant putting on the "airs of the master or mistress that thev laugh very henrtilv. You see, IT DEPENDS ENTIRELY" ON THE 1'OINT OF VIEW. American humor does .not appeal to tho English people because they can't appreciate it right away and don't care tmoujrh about it to investigate it. If an English show is presented on this lido we all go and make a fuss over it and over tho actors. If there is a situation which wo do not see at first wo sit down and FIGURE IT OUT UNTIL WE GET IT. Over thero they don't see it, and they don't care whether thay do or not That is one thing that, I resent very much tho Ameriran adula tion for everything IJritkh and the way tho British treat the Ameri cans. They always talk down at one from an aiiglo of forty-five degrees. V hen an English actor somen over hero nothing is too got for him. lie gets American lieauty roses by the bunch and is invited everywhere and entertained in tho most hospitable manner. when AN AMERICAN ACTOR GOeS OVER THERE HE IS RE CEIVEO AT THE STATION BY HAVING THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF ICE PUT IN HIS LAP, AND THAT IS ALL HE GETS WHILE HE 19 OVER THERE, . bo kind of American plays really go well in London.

Home is a nice place In which to stay if you haven't enough tal ent or intelligence to make a living outside of it. She considers the making of a home an occupation unworthy of a woman of intelligence and she re gards the domestic woman with a. cer tain pitying contempt. This in't what she wants of life. What she yearns for is a career. The women she envies are actresses, singers, lecturers, popular writers people who are al always standing in the full glare of publicity.
