Astoria ha done what many another city In the country has done, and while It might all have been obviated In the Initial In stance, she has done wisely and cur rent comment ever the city quietly en dorses the edict. THE HELPLESS RAILROADS. The ordinary American has come to look upon the railroad company an a species of corporate omnipotence; that there was nothing In the realm of human endeavor It could not achieve once It became Imperatively necessary; that It held the right-of-way In more senses than one; that legislatures, mills, factories, mines, founderles, and all general businesses, were, primarily, subject to the first and exclusive de mands of the railroad concerns. But It seems not. The railroads of the country are practically helpless before the astounding volume of traffic they cannot move for the want of cars. NOVEMBER TERM COUNTY COURT. COMMISSIONER C. C. MASTEN AB SENT BILLS AUDITED DAY DEVOTED TO NUMEROUS ROAD AN DTAX MATTERS. The county court Of Clatsop conn- ty met In regular session for the month of November at 9 o'clock yes terday morning. Judge C. 3. Trenchant and Commissioner William Larson on the bench, Commissioner C. C. Mas ten being unavoidably absent. Coun ty Clerk J. C. Clinton was In attend ance with the records. Arr.ong the matters andt things disposed of by the court, In the pursuit of public business were the following: All current bills were duly audited by the court. It was ordered that the sum of 1601.15 be transferred from the funds of Road District No. 10 to the general fund, on account of bridge work done and paid for out of a special fund IN THE CITY THEATERS. W.

There Is n sensational Intllan flgiil ami many other thrilling scenes that cannot fall to Interest the lover of the exciting Incident, "THE SENATOR'S DAUOHTER. m X. I I 11 WEAXHES. Eastern and Western Ore- jon Rain. Eastern and Western Wash- lngton and Idaho Rain. SAFE, SANE AND SOLID. The broad tenor of the dispatches Indicating the election resuits all over the Union, convey the assurance that the people, in the major sense, are safe, sane and solid. They are not to be carried away by the hollow allure ments of the extremist, be he social ist, unionist, or experimentalist; they are conscious of the existence of real and potent forces for good in the men and conditions heretofore pre-emlent a the councils of the nation; that the Rooseventlan principle is the dominant factor in the present successful and Honorable statti. of things govern mental and commercial; that It will take some profounder cause for change than the mere vaporings of a party starving to death for official prefer ment; and the deductions to be drawn from the returns are altogether whole some and gratifying, far beyond any partisan expression, and co-ordinate only with the popular benefit Inherent in the popular choices made. That New York, the President's own state, has gone Republican by an hon est and conclusive majority. Is essen tially pleasing to the party, as It con firms, not only his strong and help ful doctrines of administrative reform, but accentuates the acts and policies of the Fifty-ninth Congress and paves the way for their expansion and en forcement, to the abundant good of the masses. That Idaho Is still dubious as to actual results, leaves a grateful glim mer of hope that Governor Gooding is not defeated, and that the principle of an honest enforcement of the crim inal laws of the country Is not yet prostituted to the radical whims of a prejudiced coterie that is determined to exploit a verdict In the Steunen berger murder case, without the cus tomary formality of a trial. For the sake of righteous government and Its cleanly disposal of this vital element of contention there, it is to be hoped I that Gooding will be re-elected to do his utmost in the interest of the In nocence, or the guilt, of the men now under criminal stricture in this behalf. The "Evergreen" state holds her own in the Republican phalanx and has nothing to lose by the verdict handed In by her electors, and will preserve her usual lmportat status in the na tional congress to the certain advan tage of the entire Pacific . coast. Pennsylvania has been preserved to the credit of the nation and the wild boasts of the Democrats that she was thelr's go glimmering, along with the equally fallacious claim that Missouri would renlg from her Republican sta tus and lapse back to the inertia and Incompetency of her Inherited regi men. The Sixtieth Congress is amply Re publican for all the purposes of the nation In its march to pre-eminence and prosperity, and the detinles of the Bryan-Hearst combine have re ceived the smothering and obliterat ing knock-out that was inevitable. The United States is still sane. o "WE TOLD YOU SO!" i Two years ago the Morning Astorlan made a deliberate and conscientious fight against the granting of any sort of right to the Standard Oil company for the putting In of the fuel tanks that have been lately ordered out of the city by ordinance.
