The Morning Astorian voices a very general idea when it declares that the casting of the local option feature into the present political fight, is to say the least, inopportune, and fraught with Urge chances for dis appointment, that will not begin to be placated by any advantages ac- : f,nm it success. On the otner 11 1 111 S " uanu "v - . that the invasion has been deliberately invited by those saloons that have boldly and badly broken the Sunday-closing law. This is the status of the whole thing, in a politi cal sense. We cannot, as a public policy, en dorse the local option program, at this juncture; we will not, at this, nor at any other time, even countenance (let alone endorse), the raw infrac tion of a plain and desirable statute; we can but insist upon the use of the common-sense level in straightening out the confusion and disaaaniage those tn interest WE'RE STILL PAUSING. Time without number. Astoria has propounded the simple question "Whv should not the grain ship ments of the Northwest be done from this nort. the sea-base of tb water- levcl-down-grade-haul from the far thest inland field of production, ratn er than from Portland, 100 miles in the interior and up two rivers, and rather than from Seattle or Tacoma, i7 snH 1547. miles respectively, from the seaboard?. We are still pausing for a reply; in fact, pausing for re cites of succinct, tangible, rational, unselffish and satisfactory character to this living question, has become a fi.ed habit down here, and runs its cheerful course along with the cus toms and nursuits and common in dulgences of the place and the day. But, all the same, we would like to have some friend, or even an enemy, attempt to answer it logically ana concisely, if only to ' give us a new cue for contesting it.

Trouble: Grew Out of "Overcoat In- cldent" at West Point Academy. WASHINGTON, April 2S.Army orders announced the resignation of Second Lieut Fairfax Ayres of the Seventh Cavalry, son of Lieut Col. Charles G. Ayres of the Fourteenth Cavalry Regiment. Lieut. Ayres re signation has been accepted by the president, to take effect May 15 next, No reason for the young man's act in resigning is given in the formal or ders announcing the fact, nor do the officers on duty at the war depart ment make any explanation of it, ex cept to say that some months ago an affirmativ reply had been given by the department to an inquiry addres sed to it on behalf of young Ayres askinir whether he would be permit ted to resign after he had received a commission, Lieut Ayres was a cadet at West Point last spring, when the "Easter overcoat incident" occurred, on which occasion several of the cadets loaned their heavy coats to girl visitors to protect them from the weather. This was contrary to orders and met with the disapproval of the commander of the cadets Col. Howse Miss Ayres, a sister of young Ayres, was among the girls visiting the Ac ademy at the time. Her mother took uo the matter and a controversy sprang up, the finale of which was the issuance of. an order from the War Deoartmlent fdrbidcKng Mrs. Ayres admission to the West Point military reservation. Thereupon Col Ayres, father of Cadet Ayres. espoused the cause of his wife and in an interview was alleged to have criticised army methods employed in dealing with the trouble between Mrs. Ayres and the West Point authorities. He declined tn answed whether he had made cer tain in that interview upon demand of the War Department and was order ed before a retiring boad and retired on account of disability incident to the service July 24 .last man, or set of men, to obey the law the land; the idea is repugnant al ways, and utterly illogical We pre fer to let affairs take their course, and if the law-breakers can stand the results, we, and all other business men in the community, will have to stand them. It may be that loca option is the only effective agency at the command of the people to com pel the saloonmen to fulfil the law; if so, well and good, let it do its work. Something must operate to do this one thing; and if it is invoked here and wins out at the polls on the first Monday in June, the offending saloon man "may shake hands with himself arid blame none other for the con tretemps, 'm warninff both SldeS, With the best grace possible, and what of untoward reaction ensues, may uc where it belones. But, con cluding, we wish to say, with the kindliest emphasis, that it is strange, ;nfieH the saloonmen cannot obey the laws that permit them to - live anA An business with rational suc cess; yet rather invoke that law which crushes that business, out of exist ance without question, without appeal and without recourse. So the St. Lawrence River has been dredged to a depth of 30 feet for a distance of 1000 miles, what is the matter with providing a deep chan nel in the Mississippi at a similar mod erate cost? Tn 1892 the Populist party worked up to 1,041,467 votes and a score of twenty-two in the electoral college. Then is fused with the Democratic and has seen nothing but goose eggs since that mercenary flop. The fact that there will be no re vision of the tariff except along pro tective lines is a terrible disappoint ment to the Democratic party. Its attempt to mix revision with free trade is a flat failure. i - ". A nine-tree pest has appeared in Massachusetts, which means another loud call for a state appropriation.
