ASTORIA, OREGON:
"WEDNESDAY-- JULY 11.1RS3
No Pear of Isccndlarism.
Sundry tolegrams wore received
in this city last night from San
Francisco to the effect that the
impression prevailed in insurance
circles there that Astoria feared
incendiarism, and if . that was
the case to cancel
cies. The parties
ceived .the dispatches
ed back 'that the
all poli
who re
repression
was unfounded, which is the case.
Perhaps it is as well to state here
that . the vigilance committee
which was organized here was or
ganized with the intent to punish
thieves who had endeavored to
profit by an accidental fire. At
no time has Astoria feared incen
diaries, nor is there now the slight
est reason to apprehend any
danger from incendiarism. That
impression, if it exists, is an erro
neous one. Apart from incidental
risk in common with other cities,
there is no reason for insurance
companies to be apprehensive in
regard to policies on Astoria prop
erty, nor is there any city on the
coast where life and property ia
safer to-day than in this commu
nity. En l'assant.
Ax article in last Sunday's is
sue on Community of Interests has
been objected to by men whos
opinion we respect, because in it
we spoke of "fanatics who preach
prohibition." The question needs
no qualification, but a few words
of comment may be in order. The
word "fanatic" is not a term of re
proach. Some of the best and
purest men that ever lived were
"fanatics," Ignatius was a fanatic;
so was Loyola, so was Simeon
Stylites, so also Huss, likewise
myriads of others from Saul of
Tarsus to John Brown at Harper's
Ferry. A fanatic is a man or
woman who means well, but al
lows imagination to outrun reason,
and gives zeal the upper hand of
judgment. A fanatic sees the
end of his idea, but wants to go
across lots to get there. As to
the question of prohibition, it is,
in our opinion, impracticable, and
.therefore useless to argue. It
savors of Utopia, it has no show
of praotical fruition and however
deplorable the fact may be, never
theless it is a fact, as we look at it.
You can restrain but you cannot
prohibit. From the days ot the
wedding feast at Cana down to
this moment the history of all pro
hibition movements is alike.
Iowa Politics.
How nicely prohibition and pol
itics mix'is illustrated at present
by the distracted condition of the
Republican party in Iowa. At
the last state convention the party
managers came squarely out for
prohibition with the result that a
state which gave 7S,12G majority
for Garfield in 1SS0, is likely to
go Democratic .this fall. " Iowa has
the grandest war record of any
state in the Union; she spends an
nually more money for education
than do the eleven southern states
put tQgether, and she naturally
Votes the Republican ticket, and
has sent an almost solid Repub
lican delegation to congress for a
generation, but the Hawkeyc state
objects to being run by fanatics or
sentimentalists, and kicks as vio
lently as New York did against
bossism last fall.
UuDEits have been received at
Stettin from the Chinese Legation
at Berlin to stop their work of
enrolling a crew and the purchas
ing oi provisions lor tne new
Chinese ironclad, which was con
structed there. The orders for
the sailing of the vessel for China
have been countermanded.
The Brooklyn Eagle praises
the Ohio Democratic platform as
"flexible " and "a mosaic." The
words are well chosen. The reso
lutions can be twisted into any de
sired shape, and together they
form a curious specimen of the art
of inlaying contrasting colors.
Yellow fever has appeared on
the Texas frontier, and the most
strenuous exertions are being
made to prevent its spreading
The hostile Apaches are to be
