SITUATION CLEARED.
The failure of the Northwestern
Long Distance Telephone Company
to accept the franchise it sought, and
was granted, by the Common Council
of Astoria, clears the situation of the
threat of a dual service and leaves
the measure of amendment in this
utility strictly up to the Pacific States
Telephone Company; and luckily for
all concerned, that company is doing
its level best to meet the demands
made upon it and all promises made
in return; and if by the first of Jan
uary the new . and modern system
shall be in operation here under its
auspices, as is now certain, Astoria
will be on a par with the best in this
direction.
Without prejudice to either com
pany, it is a proven aggragation to
attempt to maintain two services of
this character in one community; the
employment of one makes the use of
the other imperative on the score of
business convenience and doubles the
cost of the utility, beside hampering
the despatch desired of it. As to the
qualities of the respective services,
that is a matter of personal prefer
ence. -
The cool indifference of the North
western people in this premise, will
without doubt act as a barrier to any
new effort it shall ever make to get
a footing in this city.Upon the face
of it, it has acted in a negligible fash
ion from the very start, and has com
mitted itself to a conviction in the
popular mind here that it was simply
stalling the people and cared very lit
tle, if anything, for the concession
granted it; a policy it will be well to
remember if it shall seek entrance
here in the future. A public fran
chise of such value is worth better
consideration than it has received at
the hands of these people, who have
not even taken the trouble to commu
nicate with the authorities in regard
to it and their purposes.
FROM WITHIN THE RANKS.
mand or go to the wall and carry the
good and bad with him; that public
tolerance is at its limit and only the
general obedience to the law and the
communal sentiment of decency from
now onward, can save the business to
those who would make it respectable
and tolerable.
Our fleet, will be absent fourteen
months on the Pacific cruise. When
the Panama Canal is completed

a jaunt. ' '
The president lays that when he
was governor of New York he went
to Cincinati to consult Taft in regard
to some important state legislation,
and was indebted to him at that time
for valuable advice. It seems that
th two men have been working to
gether longer than has been supposed.
GRAND JURIES ESSENTIAL.
For our part we are glad to see the
grand jury re-instaded in its legal
place in this State. We believe in it,
because it is one element of local au
thority and consequence that is re
spected by the most obdurate and ag
gressive doer of evil. Of course it
has never been out of reach as an or
ganic institution, but the compulsory
session is renewed and its mantel of
suggested power s again regularly in
sight and effect.
One good grand jury can do more
to cleanse a community of its ex-.
ecresences that any other factor in
the legal regimen; what it does has
the stamp and significance that is
needed to compel a change for the
better not alone in the sphere of evil,
but in the minds of men grown in
different to gross conditions. We
are too prone to placate our civic
debasement, here as in all other com
munities, so long as our personal
skirts are clear of the muck and mire,
we ignore our franchise to keep the
community up to ,the decenter stan
dards and pass the responsibility
along to those less inclined to inter
fere than we are. It is a policy of
the heedless citizen, which costs him
heavily by indirection in the end, and
which leaves him little to be proud
of at any time, when the moral sta
tus of his city or town is under scru
tiny, and discussion.
ANOTHER NEW CURE.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Dr. Le
Grand N. Dcnstow created a furor
among medical men last night by
announcing to a representative body
of physicians at the New York
Academy of Medicine that he had
discovered an absolute cure for
locomotor ataxia. Dr. Denslow read
a paper describing the results of his
ten years study of the disease and
cited thirty cases in all of which a
successful cure had been effected.
Dr. Denslow's claims were endors
ed by Dr. John A. Wycth and other
prominent physicians. Dr. R. II.
Cunningham, chief of clinic on ner
vous disease at the school of physi-
cans and surgeons in Columbia Uni
versity discussed Dr. Denslow's
paper and said his success in the
new treatment of the disease was re
markable and would probably revo
lutionize the present methods of
treatment. '
WHAT DOES IT MEAN.
The National Model License
League of America, one of the most
powerful combinations of the liquor
factors in the country, a massed and
organic group of distillers, brewers
and wholesalers, representing the
rank and file of the industry all over
the nation, is out with a strong and
urgent letter to the retail trade, to
the saloonman, insisting upon a rad
ical change in the manner of conduct
ing the business everywhere, m or
der that it may not be utterly oblit
erated by the prohibition and local
option movements that are sweeping
the land.
It is a straightforward bid for the
rehabilitation of the business, for the
severance of the saloon from the gambling-joint,
the bawdy-house, the pol
itics of the place and hour, the evil
resort and relation of all kinds, and
the assumption of decenter business
conditions and standards; for the eli
mination of the dive everywhere, and
utterly. The President of the League
in. dealing with the subject has left
no loop-hole for double-dealing in
the great premise; he declares the
business must be cleansed, or ousted;
that the sentiment against the grog
gery and dive has become too univer
sal and too immense for further inr
difference on the part of the trade,
and that the day of revolt is past for
the saloonman; he must meet an im
perative and impregnable public de-
Mr. Hearst said at Salem, 111., some
time ago that the name Democracy
no longer had any distinct meaning,
and he spoke the truth. For nearly
half a century the Democratic party
has been trying to forget its past and
every four years it has made a new
platform .and tried to square most of
the past. That party was opposed to
National Banks and then to public
improvements at the hand of the
Federal government, insisting that
the Constitution conferred no such
power on Congress to provide for
ihem by law. They then declared
the war to be a failure. They took up
the greenback and fiat money issue
only to drop it after a few years' op
eration. They were in favor of free
trade, then of free silver and then
back to free trade again.
But to-day the two most conspicu
ous leaders of that party, Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Hearst, have gone over to
the Socialists and Populists for their
political doctrines and both favor
government ownership, not only of
railroads, but all public utilities. The
name Democrat has in truth lost its
meaning. It represents simply agita
tion, if the voices of these two lead
ers speak for the party which names
them as those who have a right to
speak by authority.
If the majority of the people are
looking for novelties in government
thev should vote the Democratic tick'
et. If they are looking for agitation
and revolution they should vote for
William T. Brvan. But if the
people are looking for stability and
peace with prosperity, they should
vote for .the party and the men who
stand for stability against revolu
tion, for peace and prosperity against
agitation and adversity. The Repub
lican party of to-day stands for the
same policies that it did forty years
ago, and Mr.; Taft is just the same
kind of Republican that Abraham
Lincoln was.
DESTRUCTION OF PICKLES.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2-Lots of
New York children may have to go
without pickles this winter, owing to
a fire that occurred last night at
Hicksville, L. I. At 8 o'clock flames
were discovered in the big pickle
factory of Alert and Maguire and
despite the frantic efforts of the vil
lagers the entire plant, said to be one
of the largest in the country, was de
stroyed. Forty tons of sauerkraut was roast
ed to black cinders. Thirty tons of
pickles, averaging 1,000,000 pickles to
the ton or 30,000,000 pickles in all
were destroyed. The savory smell of
hot sauerkraut and pickles was dif
fused all over that part of Long
Island. The fire lighted up the sky
for miles around.
Half a dozen lawyers who were
trying a case before the magistrate
of Hicksville, rushed out of the
court room and, aided by citizens,
aided in pushing one whole carload
of pickels out of the factory shed
and to a place of safety. The loss
was estimated at $60,000, partly cov
ered by insurance.
