BACK -TO FIRST PRINCIPLES.
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
