A ProbablHlx That the Stone Which the Uollderf Ilrjected Say RcoBae the Corner Stone of thr Edifice Mr. G.

ALLEQE0 FBACD. Among the aftermath of Wednesday's election was tha issuance from Justice Joodell's office yesterday afternoon of warrants charging sundry pirties with voting illegally in tho Second ward the day bsforj. Andrew Horn swears to a cimp.aint concerning Carl Boehm, O .Nre.son to a complaint regarding S. A. Grazer, and W. C. Humbel to a third ompluiut in which a 'man, name un nuuwn. is charged with the same crime. The p ipers Were placed in Officer Beas .y'ri bauds, but up to the present writing ae hud not m ide any arrests. J. W. Wcicj has served notice on Chas. 3ratke to tue effect that he will contest the elejtiou on tue ground of illegal vot .ng. It is thought not improbable that other arrests may be made of parties who are considered to have voted illegally on the other aide. Oue thing sttnds plainly iut: that neither side can afford to have the t nut of fraud upau their contest tnd if up n leg il investigation it shall ipj-eirtujt ther has been any illegal voting doue for Qratke or for Welch pro.upt punishment should bo meted out 10 the criminals. It is only a few weeks ago that Judge d.011 .uau in San rancisco sent a man to the penitentiary for even false regis cratu n.

THE ASTOBIA STREET RAILWAY. Shall the City Build and Operate It I The present condition of the Astoria Street Railway Company, financially and otherwise, suggests the propriety of an inquiry into its affairs. A short timo ago a party from San Francisoo, in temporary government em ploy, got a franchise from the city for himself and associates to build and operate a street railway on certain streets in this city. Operations in the way of building the road were begun, but there has been a cessation of all work, the man in charge has gone back to Portland with out any pay for his labor, bills incurred have not been met, and the financial con dition of the scheme is to say the least unsatisfactory. Technically the terms of the franchise" are valfdj. the work was begun ut tho time andrn tho manner specified, and the city can for the present make no interference in tne matter. What The Astobian suggests is that the enterprise be not allowed to languish. The scheme of a street railway in Astoria is a good one; it is in the direct line of progress; it will add to onr wealth as a community; and, under proper manage ment, am be made a paying institution. It would in our opinion be n good thing if the city could itself own the street railway and operate or lease it us might be for the best financial interests of the municipality. If private ind.vlduals think it such t'a good thing," why wouldn't it be equally as good a thing for tho city. The statement has been made that tbo road would cost $37,000 to build. The AsToEiANis in a position to stute kuowingly that the actual cost need not exceed &2J.OO0. Its net annual income to its operators would bo at least 2a per cent on that amount. Here is samething that commends itself to the attention of those who don't beliove in granting away valuablo franchises and leaving the city of the years to cotno at tho mercy of corporate bdiee. Thero is no city in tho United Stated whode shape and contour more readily sug gest a line of street railway. Thore is no city in the United States in whioh a street railway can be built ao cheaply as in this city. There is no city in the United States in which a street railway would pay as high a porcentuge of proht on the amount invested as 111 Astoria. The city is long and narrow; an enormous a mount of business is trans acted between hero and upper town, lhe stylo of building streets with plank, piles and bent work results in a road bed ul most ''made to order" on which to spike down iron and ran cars. Tue question "Will It Pay?" can be considered as being satisfactorily an swered in the affirmative. It is the mo.tt important question com eoted with the matter. It remains for the citizens to say wacther it shall or shall not be done. "But," soma one says, "where ara you going to get the monej?' The scheme is hardly tangible enough yet to begin to suggest what m ght now be deemed too visionary an idea. The money can be procured. "Well," says another, "that will be an excellent opportunity fr jobs." Not necessarily so, except it be allowed to de generate into a machine run for and by pets. Were the road built and owned by the city and in operation to-morrow, the city would not find the slightest difficulty in getting gome one to rant it at a hand some premium on the cost and then the leasor would by judicious management have a good piece of property. Under the circumstances The Astobian would be glad to S6e the road pushed to completion under its present ownership, but franchises are valuable; they are worth just as much to the city that grants them as to the party that receives them, and if the present holders of the street railway franchise are -not able or willing to go ahead let them say so, and men can be found who are; in that case the city should have the preference.

"An eastern man" writes "an open letter to tho mayor and city father" of Seattle which is chock full of sense. Some of it relating to streets, is so apro pos that an extract is given belew: "The site of this city is peouliar to it self, and to my mind, if nature had form ed it to order, she could not well have improved upon Jt. But the mind tlat lays out a town shou(d attune itself to tho topography of tho s-ound, 8J that, whilo Chicago may bo laid out with the regularity of a W..fil3 iron, streets and avonue9 were a matter of mathematical calculation; a city on a hundred hills, like this, should not be subjected to uny sujh cat-and-dred pinu wuatever. W'hiraa btreet should belaid out, or a lami -post planted, should depend entire ly aon the 'lay of th& land.' The low muds between the hills are tho natural routes to be selected for streets, and should be adhered to as far as practica be. If a block be two. three, five or .lht hundred f ,0. Ijn;, it don ne: mat ter ho long as tne laud in such wise is best divided. Boston is said to have made her first streets to folloy tho paths beaten bycowd, and yet Bait an is B ia ton. The streets in Njw York, until th it city had five timjj ths pp 1 uiou of t ia, ware very irregular, au j at It so remain. William Peuu la.d out PaUa delphia to ba built ou the plan of the ancient city of Babylon, and wished to have a fair and green country town,' and still New York has come to bj one of the capitals of the world, and Phila delphia, according tj an eminent E ig lish critic, the finest city in America.; and most of its blocks aro GOO feet lonfc a length to startle a Seattleite, presuui ably. In Salt Lake, a very attractive city, the blocks, exclusive of the streets, are 600 foot, square, although the Hih of the town is a plain, and streets coaiu easily have- been run at will. But now and then there are people, who have the sense to realize tho sober fact that by the time a street has been graded and druinca and paved and finished in every essential particular, that it has literally been paveo with gold, as to cost. So the first aim should be to make the fewest streets pos sible, and fiuish and keep them in a con dition not to be ashamed of, at least. dbw many such has Seattle? If Heaven vouchsafed to man a supernal beiu whosb business it was to undo all that we do amibs, and he would descend upon this town and w po out one-half or two- Li birds of tho streets that run up over the uiiis in an oastcny direction, and nil up every cut that has been made througb tho natural terraces, it would bj the beat possible thing that could happen t a Saat tle, not even excepting the extermina tion of those exalted persons who believe the east to be full of fools who will come to Puget Sound to solve the perpetual conundrum why 0110 should put ten or fifteen thousand dollars into a respectable s'zsd lot only, when for the same uionei he can gtt not merely as much ground, out a pretty house anch as has not yet appeared here and the beat of society, schools, markets, gas, drainage, water, picture galleries, libraries, cheap mode of travel and the best thut civilization has to offer thrown in. But that is neither here nor there, for thero is no law, save that of succtss and general prosper ity, to prevent a man from asking a mil lion dollars to the square foot for hit land, if he wishes to. Of course a prop erty owner who has the welfare of hi. city at heart, and has the capacity to see an inch beyond the end of his nose, real ires that for every portion of land waicl by putting a reasonable valuation upon it he cai seh to a party who improves 1 and make it uspot of beauty, is ten tiLue tbe benefit to the community than s tht man whose buyers secure but a morsel of land at a iabulons price and have m money left with which to woo the win ning and civilizing graces of taste anc bsauty."
