After posing at a political savior of the city and her people and organ king the famous (and infamous) "Citizens'" convention' is that par ticular behalf, in order to mulct the mayoralty (after he had discarded the police commissionership), Hon. A. IL Smith, yesterday, harked back to first principles and filed his ac ceptance of the democratic nomina tion for the mayoralty. He is now where he belongs, despite the multi tudinous phases attitudes, make shifts and ambiguities he has essay ed in this political play,, and we all know just where to place .him. He waited until the last charter-time before coming out m his true colors and assuming the dis tinction that should have gone to Hon. Isaac . Bergman by every rule of party expression and equity. ; saloons and any assumption of ac tive interest or gratuitous aid in any direction, will be wholly initiatory on their part and will , be sharply re sented. As we said, we do not be lieve it! ' mere are many good citizens in that particular business in this city who, under any circumstances, com mand the good will of the people, and who do not care to figure as posing for or against either side in this case and they should see to it that they are not needlessly involved in a canard of this sort The vote will demonstrate the truth or falsity of the rumor, and there will be re prisals that will not spare even the best man of them alt ASTORIA UP IN ARMS. . WE DO NOT BELIEVE IT1 -, There is a rumor abroad in the city that the 30 saloons in the Sec ond ward are a unit for A., M, Smith for mayor and the "Citizens'" coun cilmanic nominees; that they are be ing relied upon to swing the day for that element and there are those of that faction who make the claim boldly, with what right, Is yet to be seen. As for us, we do not believe it - ; . In the first place, the wise saloon man will keep out of this fight in; deference to the temper of the peo ple, who will, at the first opportunity (which is only a short , year away) rebuke any interference of the sort by a county movement for prohibi tion; and in the second place, that same, wise saloon man will not care to hamper himself with what admin istration may be set up by the peo ple next month; and. the wisest aa loon man of them all will keep his hands off this election altogether be cause the day of saloon domination in Astoria is past, politically. There, is no fight on against the saloons now; no basis for their tak ing a band in any pronounced and organic way; the question the people are to decide at the polls next month is one of business policy, of the abatement of Astoria's civic bud get, and the reduction of her taxes; the freeing of private property from the curse of public cost.. No .word has been heard this fall of any dis position to hedge or hamper the The property owners and taxpay- moment oflers of this city are op irf arms at last and intend to fight to the bitter end for a revolutionary change in the municipal melange and for the assurance that Jhey.'may yet' save their holdings with some show of ultimately realising on them, before they are utterly swamped with con fiscatory charges of various kinds and degrees. They are the men who pay the public bills and their right to revolt is as righteous as it is timely. And the poorer of them all have the most at stake since it is their all that is threatened. Every piece of property in Astoria today is almost valueless on account of the public charges pending against it and time alone, and the absence of furth er burdens in the meantime, .may re- leve it to such a point as to permit the naming of an equitable and sane price for it. ; This is no picayune fight for a mere handful of men. There H something deeper and more com manding than personalities and the claims of individuals' for preferment in the campaign now a foot; and this spirit of just amendment will assert itself, howsoever the election shall go. Let there be no mistake made as to this phase of the Fight , The "Citizens'" ticket is labelled, before-hand, with a . million-dollar seawall burden which it is pledged to cast upon the city the moment it is put in power if, ever again, it is trusted with the reins of authority, and the" man who votes to put it back in office,' votes to smother his home and business beneath that, weight, which, with all that now envelops it, will put it beyond that voter ever to save it, Astoria, with her present million of debt has but one supreme duty to perform on the 9th of next month, and that is to put ,her affairs k ONE BIENNIAL TICKET. The farther one goes with the stndy-of the electoral program of our people the more emphatic. ; Jbeciimes the choice and challenge for a com plete unification of the franchise at one biennial polls; the merging of the six or seven annual election, with their weight of eost, confusion, interference with business,, a-nd the constant disturbance of the popular peace into one general, economic, sensible expression. There is no good reason for' maintaining the long string of state, county, city and school elections, when one day in each second year will serve to wind up the whole business, and the mere fact that we have acknowledged the principle by changing the date of our State election to correspond with that of the federal franchise, leaves no room for disputing the further extenson of the benefit. "THAT "HEALTH" FARCE. The whole city is laughing t the presumption that its "health" is the fundament of the "Seawall Bill." And it has right to laugh. A seawall here is among the certainties of the future; one of the great essentials that time will urge and establish But, that it will be wrought because of "health," save in the technical sense of complying with an idiot;c statute, is beyond every considera tion behind the movement, now, or henceforth. Astoria wants a seawall, just as she wants rail and ship ter minals, rates and privileges, the 'common-point" on grain, drydocks, mills and ail the energies and en gines of commerce and universal progress; and she will get them all in due time; but" she does, not want a seawall- now, in her hampered and forbidding condition, especially at it will bring nothing in its wake that ill not come without it; even her unfailing, marvelous health may not be invoked to compel this vast bur den just now. : No man is boss enough of Astoria to cram this thing down her unprepared and unwilling throat at tftis fi f i wjw In) LYDlArrpTNKHX No other medicine for Woman1!
