CHEERFUL FRONT PUT UP.
Candidate A. M. Smith is very
much excited over the temerity of
the Morning Astorian is daring to
publish the actual figures which stand
for the public obligations of Astoria
and her taxpayers, and as a slave for
his wounded pride, rehearses the
coming commercial and industrial
uplift of he city that are to be the
crowning glory of her future if we
will but keep our mouth shut
W dispute Mr. Smith's claim to
any better and sounder loyalty to the
City of Astona than ours, in this be
half, and declare that we deprecate
the publication of these figures quite
s deeply as he does; bnt we are not
forgetting the profound necessity
that urged the exposure and the deep
Sentiment of gratulation that pos
sesses the people of Astoria for out
eandor. It was time the people
were dealt some facts on this score,
Mist thev minht euard against the
perpetration of any more of Mr.
Smith's pet politics in this commun
ity, which have been, primarily, at
the bottom of the graceless condition
that is to be retrieved tomorrow at
the Astoria polls.
Apropos of Mr. Smith's perturba
tion, we respectfully call his atten
tion to the very apt and powerful
letter in this Issue, and on the front
page, from Hon. Frank J. Taylor,
which, while it was written before
the appearance of Mr. Smiths hys
terical and hypothetical screed in
last evening's Budget, is a direct and
wholesome answer to his animadver
sions. Tt is really better than any
effort we might have made in this
premise and we gladly leave as a re
sponse in full to the grevious inquiry
propounded by the disgruntled boss
of the local Democracy.
By the way, and in passing, we beg
to suggest to all good Republicans
that the sole source of boosting now
being done for the captious writer of
the aforesaid screed, are the Demo'
erats of Astoria. They are all at
work and no Republican appears n
the strictly partisan phalanx. This is
suggestive.
paign is the fact that Mr. Smith ant)
his managers and followers arc keen
ing the thtohoUls of the saloons hnt
in their coming and going to bolster
this business element in favor of the j
Democratic boss; and here again they
are going to meet with disappoint
ment, for this is not a saWnmans' j
campaign; their interests arc "not in-J
vaded, threatened, nor concerned i:i j
it. They know more than they did j
three years ago, about this leading
candidate and his promises and plan; j
and they are keeping their hands off. I
as behooves sensible men. They will!
vote as they see fit tomorrow, despite I
all pleadings and pledges, as all w ise j
men vote, and leave the choice where
it belongs, to the wolc people. The
"baby-act" never did win an open pol- J
itieal campaign, anywhere in the
in the country, and it wont win here!
Tomorrow's vote will sh,ov conclu
sively what interest the saloonmen
have taken, just a it will show the
other groupings of the community,
and the people will be the judges at
last.

Cleanses tlte System Ef feet;
A DAY OF PUNISHMENT.
In this land of the free, the people
have but one method of punishing the
publican that fails, or transcends, his
official duty, and that is by refusing
him re-election, by withdrawing their
confidence, and putting the sea of
disapproval on his acts, once for all.
Tomorrow is to be a day of account
ing in this behalf, and it belongs en
tirely to the people to say whether
they are satisfied with the way things
have been done for the past 12 to 16
years; whether the 'Citiiens admin
istration, with its ever increasing load
of debt and its bid for still greater
debt, is to be put back into place and
power, to work the city's complete
wreckage and shame.
Or whether Samuel Elmore, the
ablest business man and manager in
all this section, with a group of clean
and helpful associates, is to be sent
to the head of government, charged
with the task of abating the curse of
this debt, and putting the city back
on normal and progressive bases of
thrift and justice and honest economy.
STAND ASIDE,
PEOPLE ABOVE THE MAN.
Another phase of the "baby-act" is
underway, in the ceaseless bid that is
being made for A. M. Smith, candi
date for mayor, for sympathy and
tender concern, as against the attacks
of the Morning Astorian and the Re
publican committee, and it is re-act
ing against the genial ex-city-attorney
and Democratic boss, as tomor
row's vote will demonstrate. The peo
ple admire a man who fights, openly,
manfully, upon a sheer and level base
of courage and repute, just as it con
demns, and forsakes, the man who, in
the midst of a political fight, resorts
to idle threats and complaints, and
who gets his friends to echo his
whine where it does not reach on
his utterance. The people are above
the man; their interests are greater
than his; they know it, and rebuke
his complaining overtures promptly
and severely. They will do this to
morrow. Another patent phase of this cam-
Get off the track, yon politicians,
and ringsters and traffickers in pap!.
Make way for the people; the consti
tuent force of the hour!. Stand aside,
all you little buncombe-tossers and
tricksters, and give room to the maj
esty that you're all afraid of: THE
PEOTLEI!!.
You've just got time to scurry away
and hide out; to keep from under the
foot that crushes and brushes aside
little things, before tomorrow's pro
cession starts for the polls. Once
there, your claims will be passed
upon with understanding and dignity
and the last word. And nothing shall
prevail against the verdict.
Every man with a plea will be
heard; his weight and value will be
balanced with the highest demands of
the hour, and if he has not made good
as a citisen, or an officer, or if he is
hemmed and hampered by threaten
ing pledges, agreements or unpopular
convictions, woe betide him.
Back up! Squeeze in! Srhink away!
By day-dawn tomorrow you will be
on the grid-iron; you and your cheap
and tawdry ambitions, your phansai
cal mouthings and your trumpery in
terests. The question tomorrow will
be WHAT YOU ARE, WHO YOU
ARE, WHAT YOU'VE DONE,
WHAT YOU INTEND DOING,
AND YOUR PRINCIPLE, YOUR
CAPACITY, YOUR HONESTY!!!.
These are the things that the in
telligent voter asks, AND AN
SWERS!!!.
There are persons who think they
could revise the tariff at one sitting.
but practical business men know that
it is a subiect demanding full know
ledge of all the facts, and careful in
telligent deliberation.
Mr. Harriman, who longs for other
territory to conquer, is exploring the
terra incognita of Northern Alaska.
The prospect of government control
of railroads does not hamper a man
of Mr. Harrimans scope.

Mr. Carnegie reminds the country
that he is now. as always a protec
tionist. A good way to prove it is to
refrain from giving aid and comtort
to free traders, who are the inveter
ate enemies of protection.
A movement is on foot in Pennsyl
vania to abolish toll gates everywhere
in the state. It is generally agreed
that the toll system of roads and
bridges has no proper place in the
business affairs of the present een
tury.
Mrs. McRaney'g Experience.
Mrs. M. McRaney, Prentiss, Miss.,
writes: "I was confined to my bed
for three months- with kidney and
bladder trouble, and was treated by
two physicians but failed to get re
lief. No human tongue can tell how
I suffered, and I had given up hope
of ever getting well until I began
taking Foley's Remedy. After tak
ing two bottles I felt like a new per
son, and feci it my duty to tell suf
fering women what Foley's Kidney
Remedy did for me." T. F. Lau
