Thu spirit is alive IN TIIK COURTS. I recently wrote to members of the supreme court asking if they did not consider lynching nothing less than murder. I failed to get an answer, and it was tho same way with regard to the sheriff. In response to another letter I received an insulting reply from a minister. ',,- ; I believe every one of a mob A RED HANDED MURDERER whether he ba the tail end member or a leader, and it is my opinioi. that aul people connected with a lynching, whether, they be ouly on lookers or- not, should be sentenced o the PENITENTIARY, I consider people who bum negroes as SAVAGES. Many aro trying to belittle this great question. It is greater than ALL TIIK OTIIER PROBLEMS combined. .., JUST POW WI AH LAPSING INTO BARBARISM, AND OUR CIVILIZATION IS ; SLIPPING FROM US. SOMETHING MUST BI DON I. '. H;-, :T- ':-'v ' WEATHER. Western Oregon nd Washing- too Fair. ; , . U1TCL5 SASTS INTEREST. Xot the least among the element to tie immensely benefitted and ex panded in the great scheme of progress binuring to Astoria, are the holdings and departments of the government in and about this district the three forts, the buoy station, the quarantine post; and it goes without saying that they will receive due attention just as soon as the access is felt in other and allied lines. . The federal quarantine quarters acres the river might be well improved s it is, without waiting for any sug gestive movement; there are some things needed over there that should have gone in a long while ago, notably, extensive and comfortable quarters and equipment (for the accomodation of pat ients billetted there under the opera tion of the quarantine laws, all of which are absolutely wanting now. There are facilities for the handling of ships under stress of quarantine, plenty of them and all up to date, but the main essentials for handling human ity under embargo are conspicuously absent and sorely needed. Just why this matter has been neglected all thi time, is one of the mysteries that are insoluble beyond the limits of the Dis trict of Columbia and the especial de partment having touch and authority in the premises. We would like to see something done to put this important station on full and proper footing. A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. The Wholesale Liquor Dealers As sociation, of Astoria, has gone on re cord, in unequivocal terms, as opposed to the presence of dance-halls in this city; they have not minced the matter nor thrust any ambiguities in the text of their formal declaration; and while we believe the emanation to have been inspired from purely business motives, without an atom of sentiment behind it, we commend it as a timely expres sion from an effective source, snd one that will be heeded Where sentiment fails to achieve a jpopular object, business interest may be relied upon to succeed, and it Is, invariably, the sounder predicate of the two. In this particular case the' con clusion is inevitable, that if the liquor interest can dispense with the dance halls' there , is no other line that can logically claim any benefit from their presence; hence, the safe inference that the halls will go. This will 'be 'a long step toward municipal purification, and public' sentiment ts forging new depart tores' that must follow in rapid sequence. The same old issue is being tried out, regulation, or obliteration. If the first is not submitted to, the second al ways transpires. Only it seems queer that men engaged in these lines will never learn the lesson, however, dften It is proven to them. ': 0 REVISES THE JURY SYSTEM. The courts of this country are brist ling these days with "causes celebres" and the empanelling of juries is fest attaining to the measure of an art, or perhaps, a science; at all events, the whole people are in such intimate and complete touch with the mesh of de tails, attaching to the cases in point, as to make it almost impossible to get jurors enough to fulfill the law with anything like due observance of its exactions as to previous knowledge or influential sentiment. It would look as if ther was ho relief for the peculiar situation save through a complete re vision of the jury system of the coun try, and the adoption of the English course of appointing a jury direct rom th federal electorate and keeping it in Mrvjcs for Ml 12 month. passing front court to court throughout a given district, always and ever on jury duty and doing nothing els. There is some thing professional in this ides, but we would soon get used to it, and the supreme advantage, would be gained of having a jury amenable to service at all times, and It would be, relatively, less costly, than the procedure now in vogue. It is the . only solution that presents itself at the present writing sod we have no idea it wiU invoked any way soon. - " .' ' , 1 0 - A DANGEROUS LEADER. President Calhoun, of the United Railways, t San Francisco, strikes us as a dangerous leader in public affairs just at this juncture, and we expect to hear of his early suppression. He is making a tremendous effort to place himself in an attitude of safety as against the operation of the laws he has broken his deals with the board, of supervisors and his unescapable con nection with the grafting push of the Bay City. He is taking a bold and audacious stand, thrusting himself for ward with an adroitness and suddenness that vouches for the certainty of his J questionable purposes. He is under the ban of the law; he is in contempt of organized labor; he is the self-assertive champion of the men with whom he hes had nefarious dealings and is altogether in wretched odor in all places where honor and justice still maintain in the over-borne city. His latest move is towarj the orga nization of a "vigilance committee'' and we opine that when he has established it, some cruel, reactionary force will so direct its energies as to involve the man who created it, and meet out a retri butive measure of justice that will prove embarrassing to one of Calhoun's aggressive, yet, sensitive, nature. EDITORIAL SALAD. A public utilities bill went through the New York legislature by a unani mous vote. Recent events are cal culated to convince corporations that they will never get to be bigger than the American people. ' Dollar wheat may be all right from a commercial point of view, but the manipulators of the food market should take timely warning that the consumer will never stand for the 10 cent loaf. ' '1 0 ' " Chicago entertains a fear that the lakes to-the-gulf waterway movement will carry all of the fish out of the lakes, in which event it is easy to see that the channel cat is going to nave a picnic. 'i i'AZd i..n 1 1 0 '' Chairman Burton was surprised at the Memphis river business. And it will be found as the journey proceeds that the water traffic grows with the as sured depth Of the channel, - '. 0 . The Illinois legislature will meet again in October to consider deep wat erway propositions. It is one of 'the subjects that get bigger and better by intelligent deliberation. 0 Every cloud has its tinfoil lining. The failure df the wheat and fruit crops will leave more cars in which to ship watermelons. - ..,"'' r IN THI CITY CHURCHES. . PresbytsrUn. ' . Morning worship, 11 o'clock) Sunday school, 12:15, Y.

Editor Astorian: We are sorry that any clergyman of any denomination should so degrade the name and calling of the gospel min istry as to take any part whatever in the Corey -Gilman matrimonial farce. We are not proud of the man who made mockery of the ordinance of holy matri mony by teing present to bless in the name of the Christian church such an unholy alliance. We are sorry he so rar failed to recognize the dignity of his calling. And we wish here to enter a disclaimer. The individual who per formed the ceremony, while at the pres ent time he occupies a congregation pulpit, to its discredit, has his ecclesias tical standing with the Presbyterian church, not with the Congrcgationalists, G.
