'J THE.WEATHER Oregon, Washington and Idaho NON-PARTISAN PARTIES. .Everyone knows the nsual ambi tion and pnrpose of a "non-partisan" movement, especially in municipali ties. It is to correct and cure the abuses of a party precedent, and to establishment new and better policies of local government; to compel a quare deal for the people at large and break down graft and incompe tency and injustice in the common af fairs of the whole citizenry. When a "non-partisan" party holds nights wondering where the limit of his responsibility as a citizen is go ing to end. ..;. It is nn fileaant task, hnt the hour has arrived when it is better to know the troth and hedge against inevita ble disgrace and bankruptcy; and, if knowing these-things, the people of this city, deliberately put into power a group of men flatly pledged to this doctrine of spoliation, theirs' the en tire liability henceforth and for all time. It is information that should be in the grasp of every man by other means Jhat such publicity as we shall give it, but as they will not seek it, we shall volunteer it in sheer defense of the Citv of Astoria, and in the hope the knowledge will have due ef fect in calling a halt in the excesses come. It may be said of Astorian that they arc the bravtst citizenry in Or egon in point of standing for and paying the heaviest tax-rolls ever assessed upon any people.

Has Astoria's "non-partisan" crowd shown any such spirit as this? TO SAVE OUR FUTURE. The Morning Astorian will, in the course of a few days, publish a full and comprehensive list of the public obligations to which this city is now committed, along with the interest "eliarces oer annum, and an approxi mation of the new and essential debts that must be contracted in the direct interest of the municipal establish ments now in operation, and also a list of the non-essential things that are proposed by the "Citizens;" and a summary that will make every elec tor in this man's town lay awake of generous business and abounding profits. ASTORIA FULLY ALIVE. The man who says, or writes, the deliberate falsehood that Astoria is a "mossback" city, or who intimates that she is not alive and eager and quick to do for herself along all pro gressive lines, is a blamed poor citi zen, to say the least of him. There is no city or town in the State that is, or has been, more open and receptive to positive advantages, as they have offered themselves, than this city; her people have made in numerable and costly sacrifices to at tain to the'standard things of the day and have succeeded invariably; she has much yet to do and gain, but what place on earth has not?
