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. She has
not her etal in tn raster of cities
in the northwest in this particular,
and her patience and pluck have been
maltreated and abused until, at last,
he is awake to the imposition and
the danger ccmtronting her, and ts
about to settle back to normal busi
ness bate and do that which com
mon sense commands and commends.

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?

whom he had promised the excite
ment of an American football game
was so anxious to keep his word that
he sent a w.ireless message ahead of
the steamer on which they were ap
proaching New York with instructi
ons to two brokerage firms to procure
the tickets. The first firm replied that
no tickets were to be had and the
second firm was then told to get
them at any cost. This was done, $25
apiece being the price. In the mean
I time the first firm, ignorant that the
j tickets had been obtained through an
'agent at New Haven, purchased four
more at $140. The regular price is $3
i each.
