One of the first duties of Governor Benson, of Oregon, will be the ap pointment of a circuit judge for this, the Fifth Judicial District of the State; and we cannot forego the op portunity of insisting that His Ex cellency use extraordinary care in naming the man who is to work with the veteran now on this bench and that the appointee be of the calibre and substance of which judges are made. We need the best and solidest tort of man in this relation; we are used to sound and effective work in this department and it were an im position to ask us to accept anything very much short of the real thing we already possess; and equally an impo sition upon the man for whom the te lief is sought. A judgeship is no place for a try out; it demands the seasoned service and experience of a man who has been a worker and .delver in the courts; to whom the law is an open book and whose opinions are worth something when they are rendered- To the end that the Fifth District may have such a judge we think the Gov ernor should confer with the bars at interest, and especially the bar of Clatsop county. They are the source . of all reliable estimate as to the qual ities of the men in line for such an appointment, and as they are to have most to do with the new incumbent, are rightfully entitled to speak first in the important premise. With the essential expansion of the country and the accumulation of legal issues inseparable therefrom, it is in dispensable that the second judge here shall be equipped to meet it all and deal with it thoroughly and ef fectively from the instant he takes his seat. We are championing no man, nor fighting any man; we are asking simply that the best interests of this people be conserved by the appoint ment of a trained and able lawyer to the most important place in the dis trict of four counties, and that the Governor see to it that his appointee's capacity for the place is properly avouched. OBEDIENCE VS. ORDINANCE. In the course of the campaign for a general "up lift" in this city, no ses sion of the Council is" allowed, to pass these days without the introduction of one or more reformatory ordinan ces, drawn for the purpose of purify ing and bettering moral conditions hereabout. Theoretically this is all right; practically, it does not amount to "tinker's damn," whatever that it , iWe have ordinances by the hundred and law . enough to gag judge, jury, and bar: What we need far more than new ordinances is a spirit of obedi ence and the decent citizenship that makes every civic provision a rule of action and a means to the end of mu nicipal honor and well being. We are pretty near that pass when our respect for the law stops with our dealing and contact with the Federal ' statute: Anything below that affords a fighting chance to beat and deny our responsibility. We are everlast f e7 Vi, C Absolutely Pare Hie only baking powder i inaae rrorn ioyai urape vream or tartar t I made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar. L. 1S?X THE J. S.

It wont do to fool with a law that is prosecuted and a punishment that is put in operation; therefore we obey his laws to the last letter of them and ixlad to do it: while we stand on - - o - 1 our toes and snap oar fingers in the face of the lesser courts, because, tor sooth, they are close tous and are of rmr own creation and within touch of the influences we can bring to bear, politically, socially, and legally. The question of citiaenship is the last to be invoked in a municipality; its time comes when the citizen gets it good and hard from some court, (as does, infrequently, happen) then the oualitv is made the most of in a retrospective way and every appeal int leniencv is based upon it; it be comes the cornerstone of our reliance for escape and fmmifnity. Being given, naturally, to the ne Mtirai anrl nullification of the law in minor fields, our only hope lies in the revival of the nunitive stress ot trie laws and its , compulsory claims on popular respect. Respect comes with punishment, and obedience with the realization that the law is stronger than we are. We need no more or dinances. Our bowline want is the enforcement of those we have and the unremmitting punishment that goes with them. There are quite enough with them. There are quite enough barren laws on the books as it is. Amend some of them if they need it; but enforce all of them, fully and reg ularly. MORNING ASTORIAN'S CASE. i in 1 The following terse and righteous expression, recently made by Justice Guy, of New York, is respectfully referred to the home knockers who think we are a bit strenuous in some of the plain deals we have made late ly. Read it you good people and try to understand just what a newspaper is for: "The law jealously guards the good repute of all persons in their private character and in their business or profession, unless by their general private conduct or by the character of the business or profession in which they are engaged they have them selves forfeited such good repute. But the law is not engaged in the rehabilitation of reputations, or in throwing- the mantle of respectability and good repute around those who deliberately engage in practices in violation of law and follow pursuits j'which are subversive of decency and I good morals. j "The defendant was engaged in the publication of a newspaper not mere ly for the dissemination of news, but jwith the additional purpose of up holding a high standard of public de Icency and morals in the community, .and it was not merely its right, but i its duty, in connection with a public !and official proceedings of the kind jin question, to publish truthfully so ! much of the facts as with decency it i could publish, so that even, if the ma Jchinery of the criminal law proved in ; adequate to reach malefactors of this class, who traffic for gain in human life and health and seek to promote immoral practices, they might- be held along Pwder up to public scorn and contempt, "While newspaper should be hold to strict and severe accountability for unjustifiable and untruthful saults upon private character, or upon business standing and credit, they deserve not punishment and re buke, but public approval and com mendation where, as in this in.-tance, they truthfully,, and in strict con formity to the facts, c;ill public at tention to those who are engaged in nefarious practices, injurious to the public welfare."

The law of the land will get an air ing in the Federal court at Portland with forty lawyers blowing hot and cold upon it. in the Government suit to recover the forfeited land grants of the Oregon & California Railway. Astoria, like all cities, sees most of her ordinances"honored in the breach.' Luckily, her circuit court has a re cord that runs a line of punishment parallel with the line of breach. Watch your nerves. Nerves produce brain-storms and brain-storms be get murder; at least this is the Chi cago system. Governor Benson has more official latitude than any Governor in the Union. lie is Secretary of State, and the genuine Poo Bah of all the State commissions, tie is a luii-neuNcu two-thirds of the government: Hap pily, he is level headed and know the exact weight of his responsibilities in each department and will dispose them all as becomes a man so completely trusted. E IN FIVE MINUTES YOU WILL BE RID OF STOMACH MISERY NO DANGER OF DYSPEPSIA Your Druggist Has a Pleasant Tast ing Preparation Called Diapepsin Which Cures You Before You Realize It Rid Yourself of Stom ach Trouble Forever. Some people think they have in digestion, others Catarrh of the Stomach, others Nervousness, Cancer or Dyspepsia, etc. Call it this if you will, but the real name for your trouble is Food Fermentation, with only partial digestion. Everything you eat turns to either Acid, Stom ach gas or Stomach poison, which weaken the digestive organs, caus ing a lack oi gastric juice, rour food sours, is only half digested, and you become affected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, burning sensation, a feeling of vomiting, heartburn, water brash and tenderness in the pit of the stom ach, slimy tongue, bad taste in the mouth, constipation, nausea, belching of gas, diziness, sick headaches men tal depression and many other com mon symptoms. You can cure all this by not eat ing, by not putting any food in your stomach to ferment; but how about the nourishment needed to sustain your bodily strength? If you are a stomach sufferer, either man or wom an, young or old, whether you call it Indigestion or any other name, go now to your druggist and give 50 cents for a case of Pape's Diapepsin. Every possible kind of Stomach trouble is readily cured by Diapepsin, which takes right hold of the food in your stomach and digests it alone, without the help' of the stomach, just as if your stomach wasn't there. After a few days' use of Diapepsin your Stomach will be in good working order, your meals will thor oughly digest and your intestines will be clean and fresh, and you will have no use for laxatives or liver regula tors. SURUGA KE-FLOATED. MANILA, March 2.-The British steamer Suruga, of the Barber line, which went ashore on the breakwater here Sunday, while it was inbound on from Hong Kong to take on a cargo in this city for New York, has been re-floated- Permission has been sought from the naval authorities for the use of the naval drydock at Subig for repairing of the steamer. KILL ID HARR1MAN II RENEWED RIVALRY THE PORTLAND-SEATTLE LINE FIRST INDICATION OF NEW IMPETUS IN THE FIELD CHICAGO, March 2-The Tribune today prints the following news ar ticle: 'Reeiit report from Portland, Ore-, that the rivalry between E. II. llarri man and J. H. Hill for the traffic of the Puget Sound district was about to assume the form of an active cam paign by the bcginmmr of construct ion on Harriman's proposed Hue from Porttand to Seattle have now receiv ed semi-official confirmation. A new map of the Harriman lines in the Northwest, which ha just been is sued, indicates that the project to parallel the Northern Pacific iindcr the name of the .Oregon & Washing ton Railroad, which has been talked of for several year is about to be re alized. "ft was learned yesterday however, that the plan has been changed to the extent that the road is to be built from Portland north only as far as Tacoma instead of through to Seattle and that the Union Pacific has reach ed an agreement with the Chiacgo, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway where by the new line of (lie Pacific Coast extension is to be ucd from Taco- ma instead of through to Seattle. It is reported that actual construe tion is to be started within a few weeks. "The Harriman tines' have long nought an entrance to Seattle from the South, but have been blocked in their attempts to secure through ticketing or through routing facilities by the refusal of the Northern Pacific to participate. The latter has insisted on keeping the long haul from the c.it to Seattle for itself. The qnestion of whether the Northern Pacific shall be compelled to open the Portland Katcnay is now pending before the Interstate Commerce Commission but Ifarrinum would derive many many manitiest advantages from hav ing his own rail through Portland regardless of the commission's decis ion in this case. "Harriman's efforts to extend his lines into Washington are said to be in a large measure in retaliation for Hill's invasion of the Oregon terri tory with the Portland, Spokane and Seattle road, which is soon to be op ened for traffic. The Portland Seattle line is only a part of his plan for the development of the Northwest, how ever, as lines have already been sur veyed and probably will soon be started to complete the new Shasta route from Klamath Falls to the main line at Natron, Ore., and for the pro po'-cd routes across Central Oregon and along the Deschutes river."
