THE BOOMING FACULTY.
""
A city, section, or state becomes
known over the country and the
world by the especially good things it
contributes to the comfort or welfare
of the man abroad; the specific out
put typifies its source and fastens it
in the mind and memory of those who
nse and enjoy it Every case of choice
salmon that leaves this port has the
"booming faculty within the wood
and tin in which it is enveloped; it is
hailed with delght and the name of
Astoria and the local brand are signal
witnesses of our success in that par
ticular direction, upon which we may
rely as well as the gratified customer.
Every piece of square timber, finely
milled, that goes hence, to fit in its
place in some huge dock, or building,
or other enterprise, on home or for
eign soil, has the same high element
of candid and indubitable proof of
sirable things; and in the still more
siralbe things; and in the still more
active and intelligent sense, the tour
ist who enters, or leaves, the superb
bay at the mouth of the Columbia,
carries with him or her, the unfading
impression of one of the most re
markable, natural and beautiful har
bors in the world, and they tell of it
and wonder at the unachieved destiny
such a place deserves, and lacks.
It is well to be famous for a few
things, rather than to have nothing
wherewith to mark our existance and
aspiration; because ' of the innate
faculty of one or the other of these
things to inspire a movement in this
direction. The "booming" faculty does
not lie in "hot air" altogether; there
are solid facts that speak louder and
more to the point of proof and assur
ance, than the liveliest tongue that
wagged. Astoria's name is going
further, in accentuated tones and
terms, year by year, by reason of
these three leading excellences, and
sooner, or later, she is going to hear
and see and know infinitely more of
their real value.
Among the good things that As
toria has sent forth lately to tell, in
type and picture, her claim on the
men of the outer world in the matter
of new and compensating homes, and
fresh starts in business, and success
ful lines of investment, was the In
vestors' and Homeseekers' edition of
the Morning Astorian, which is do
ing its work, everywhere, for the real
good of the city and territory, and
sending back daily its cheerful mes
sages of conviction and quiet achieve
ment. Astoria's all right, and don't
you forget it!
THE FLEET TO JAPAN.
". The order sending the American
fleet to Japan was certainly not put
out until after the matter had been
weighed in its every concievable as
pect as an honor, a hazard, and a
. diplomatic move, by the President
and his advisers; and the people may
relv uoon the fact that all chances are
covered surely and wisely. Treachery
of anv sort, in Japanese waters, will
be met with such an avalanche of re
prisal as will last humanity, tor ever,
9 a standard in the adjustment of
such a (supposedly impossible) crime
sera in st nations.
W. An not believe, for a moment,
that the Japanese would, as a nation,
sanction anything so Drutauy doiq
and heartless as an attack upon the
flower of our navy in their own bays
or seas; but there is no telling tne
nature of some inspirations that fall
to the insane egotist in office with
power to wreak incalculable damage;
and it is to such sources that the

world looks for tremendous freaks
and wild departures, with all their
subtle and sickening horrors. "Re
member the Maine." Who dreamed
of that incarnate act of treachery?
However, the "noble 16" are due
to go to the land of the Rising Sun,
and all things being well and whole
some, the step may be for the best
and most acceptable ends. But, from
the instant the ships enter our own
waters in the Philippines until they
shall emerge from those of Japan,
the most rigorous watch will be kept,
day and night, despite the glamour
of courtesy and carefully concealed
suspicion that will possess the last
man in the fleet of America. (This
is written, with humble apologies to
the editor of the Portland Journal,
the profound and scholarly arbiter of
editorial matter in the Oregon press,
generally, in the hope that his stric
tures will be made to conform as
nearly as possible to our capacity for
bearing the dynamic force of his dis
gust and irritation thereat).
DONT FORGET THE PEOPLE.
The rank and file of Clatsop Repub
licans are hoping, sincerely, that to
day's session of the County Repub
lican Central Committee, called by
Chairman W. F. McGregor , will
eschew certain old policies of action
and pass the selection of delegates to
the State Convention at Portland, up
to the people and not endeavor to
make any recommendations or sug
gestions as to the personnel of those
party representatives.
It has been claimed that it is not
possible to utilize the statutory
primaries for this purpose; but we
fail to see why. The party used to
vote for its delegates at primaries
before the form became a matter of
legal provision; and it would seem
there is enough room on the big
blanket-ticket, devised for this func
tion, to permit the insertion of a
group of names in this interest.
Our idea is to keep the party here,
and in the State, for that matter, as
clear of overt acts and devices as is
possible and put the largest respon
sibility possible, where it rightfully
belongs, on the people direct The
tendency, nowadays, is to let the peo
ple name their agents in all political
premises, and we favor the doctrine,
on the score of escaping the retro
active influences of reproach and ac
countability when the mistakes are
laid bare and the misfits are num
bered and duly accredited to our
party.
To this end we trust the gentlemen
meeting this afternoon will have a
care in all they do and leave all that
may be, up to the ranks of the party.
WHITSUNTIDE.
This festival is observed by both
Jews and Christians, but in commem
oration of different epochs.
It is the Pentecost of the Jews, and
is kept by them wherever they are
scattered over the broad earth. It
has to them a double significance:
first, the giving to them of the Law
on Sinai, secondly, it was the Feast
of Weeks, occuring fifty days after
the Passover, when every living soul
was reguired to come to Jersusalem
to acknowledge God as their Lord,
and to offer Him the first fruits of
the harvest
It was from this, the most beautiful
of all the customs of the Jews, that
the idea of our annual "Thanksgiv
ing" was drawn, it being held at a
different period of the year, after the
ingathering of our crops.
The day of Pentecost is a sacred
and triumphant memory of the Chris
tian church, because it is the day on
which the Saint Esprit, the Holy
Spirit, the Comforter promised by
the Saviour, came down and sealed
with gifts of new hearts, and conse
crated tongues, the 3,000 converts, to
the faith of our risen and ascended
Redeemer, who were then assembled
in Jerusalem.
It ranks as a festival next to Easter
in the Roman and Greek churches.
It is a favorite time for administering
the rite of baptism and in the primi
tive churches the candidates for this
ceremony wore white for the seven
weeks intervening between Easter
and the day of Pentecost; hence it
was called Whitsunday.

THEATRICAL YARNS.
The story is of the kind better told
than written, though to chance it is
to put it like this. When Homer
Bassford was dramatic editor of the
St. Louis Republic and less of an ar
istocrat than prosperity and someth
ing akin to genius have since made
him, the most effusive of his society
friends, Miss Foshganes, just home
from a girl's college, "wanted ever
so much" to meet the great tenor
Companini. He was then on a con
cert tour over the country. To main
tain his reputation for knowing every
public figure, Bassford had told the
young lady that nothing was easier.
To be sure, the tenor had not yet
come to St. Louis. A virtuoso and
lover of things fine to look at, he was
still collecting the sort of coins they
nse in Chicago. But directly he ar
rived the idea would speedily be man
aged. And with that Homer nodded
and proceeded to forget the tenor and
the young lady with tenoritis. Then
it was that John Drew came to town,
bursting in upon Bassford's sanctum,
a kind of three by five waste basket
with its presiding spirit tucked away
in a corner, ever ready for a talk on
art, religion or politics. They could
n't go about much for the girl with
tenoritis might be encountered. "Why
not?" asked Drew. "I am the tenor."
"You know Italian?" "Enough,"
said Drew. "That's what I say,"
replied Bassford, getting into his
coat And soon a machine drew
them up before the Foshgane resi
dence. "He is come to town, but the
only difficulty is he can't speak a
word of English. I shall be Inter
preter for you" said Bassford's to the
gushing Froshgane. All hands had
soon taken their corners in what was
really a very admirable drawing room.
The limit of Brassford's Italian vo
cabulary was "spaghetti" and "chi
anti." But his accent was superb.
Years of travel abroad had furnished
Drew with a much fuller vocabulary
He knew such words as "Puccini,"
"Botticelli," "American Vespucci," as
well as "spaghetti" and "chianti"
Miss Foshgane struck an exceeding
ly lively pace. The talk waxed fast
and furious through two hours.
Tossing a kiss toward the ceiling,
Drew avowed that he did like Ameri
ca; and loaded it with esctatic com
pliments which Bassford, with a per
fectly straight face, translated for the
enraptured Miss Foshgane. And
everything went splendidly until,
without a ward of warning, the butler
entered to. prepare the piano and
music for Signor Campanini to sing.
"I sing," exclaimed Drew, jumping
to his feet and forgetting himself.
"Yes, himma sing," said Bassford,
also forgetting his role, but retaining
his accent "Oh, you do speak some
English them," said Miss Foshgane,"
"Yes, but I don't sing about it," said
Drew, a little bit netted. Yet even
at that the cat was not out of the bag
until the next night Miss Foshgane
saw her Signor Companini act on the
stage of the Olympic Theater.
