M Itc gaily storian. ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY -NOVEMBER 11. 1SS5 -l.V INTERESTING QUESTION. Astoria is never -without a question of some kind on which there is a difference of opinion. Ever since the city was unwisely divided into two school districts as the only way seen to get rid of an unpopular school teacher, there is confusion and trouble and "ques tions" of great and pressing im portance at the time, and pres ently forgotten in the greater an d more pressing importance of the question that is sure to come up the week or month after. The present question is regard ing the vote in the matter of plac ing O. Sovey in the city council. Of five councilmen he received the affirmative votes of three. The mayor gave it as his decision that Mr. Sovey was not elected; that the election of a councilman by the council was something that re quired a majority vote of the en tire council. Public opinion is divided as usual. The case is an interesting one, in the abstract. On a former oc casion when Mr. Gilbert was given three votes for councilman, the mayor declared him elected. A question arose as to the legality of his election. One of the foremost lawyers in the state and a man who is to-day the most prominent candidate at Salem for U. S. sen ator, was consulted about this matter. His opinion is alleged to have been substantially as follews: that a councilman elected in Asto ria by three votes of councilmen could serve provided no one raised any objection to the legality of any ordinance passed or de feated by his vote; that any objec tion to such vote on the part of any voter in Astoria would render any action of such elected council mah of no effect. Of more recent date is the sim ilar election of F. J. Taylor, by three votes of the city council to fill an existing vacancy. "When the estate of Peter Grant brought suit against the then city council for alleged negligence, and when the case was being argued before Judge Bennett holding court in this city, Mr. Taylor pleaded, as a defense against any individual re-' sponsibility in the matter, the fact that he was elected in such a man ner and argued that that should be sufficient grounds for his being omitted from the list of defend ants. Judge Bennett held in sub stance that as Mr. Taylor had qualiGed before the auditor and clerk, had taken the oath of office, and had taken part in the regular deliberations of the council that his argument constituted insuffi cient defense, and refused to al low the plea. At the close of the vote last Thursday evening the mayor de cided that Mr. Sovey was not elected. On a similar occasion prior, the mayor derided that Mr. Gilbert was eleetr-d. "WIjimi emi nent jurists at hotiK' and abroad differ in their opiniens: when able lawyers reach ai-tiy opposite conclusions; when t!.- elii.-f muni cipal officers of a city, .it different times make decisions diametrically opposed to each other it tends to bewilder the average mind. If Mr. Sovey or anybody else is en titled to the honorable position of , a seat in the Astoria city council 'he should have it. No man should be deprived of anj' rights, person al or acquired that of right belong to him. If the legal opinion re ferred to above be correctly re ported it would appear that in case Mr. Sovey were to be admit ted to the council and took part in its transactions that any vote of his would be subject to objec tion on the part of whosoever de sired, thus raising the question of the validity of such municipal ac tion. It is to be regretted that there was not one more vote eith er in the affirmative or the nega tive so as to avoid all this dispute, but as -we seem bound to have a quarrel of some kind on hand all the time, perhaps this is as good a question as any. If it wasn't this it would be something else. It is surprising that so sensible a journal as the Oregonian should endorse by publication in its edi torial column the silly talk of eastern papers concerning a possi bility of the Chinese government making our government "pay roundly for every queue that is lifted in Washington territory." Those who never feel satisfied un less they have a small stock of worries on hand, can not add this to their supply. In no case, what ever lengths the violence may as sume, can or will our government be held responsible. The United States government wouldn't nor needn't pay England if English, or Irish, or Scotch, or Welsh, were killed in this country, nor Ger many if Germans were killed; nor France, if French were killed. Our government should, and doubtless will, try the marauders in the U. S. courts, and if found guilty, punish them. That is all. The Astoriax thinks just the way it did last month and last year and the year before, that the Chinese are a nuisance and a menace; that they should not be here; that their presence is a blight, and that the only way to make them go is to refuse to em ploy them. As long as we give them reason they will stay. When ever we make it unprofitable for them to remain they will go. "Cattle have increased more than three-fold in the Pnited States during the past ten years," says the Shoe and Xcathcr Jie 2)orto which adds: "Ours is the greatest cattle producing region on the globe. On farms there are now about forty-two million; on ranch and range property west of of the Mississippi about ten mill ion cattle sraze." The speech of United States Senator George in Mississippi & few days ago, is attractinc; much attention from southern Demo cratic newspapers. His position was that the south must stand solidly by the Democratic party, if it expects to exert a controlling influence in the government of the country in the future. The importance and value of the tobacco crop in Virginia is very clearly shown in the state ment of the Lynchburg Advance that Lynchburg pays more revenue into the United States treasury, on the single article of tobacco, than any one of the New England states pays on everything it pro duces. Washington" telegrams indicate that snivel service reform is meet ing with disaster, and that first class offices are rapidly passing into the hands of the Democracy. The mugwumps and the truly good see very little to be thankful for at the coming Thanksgiving da'. The newspapers of the state ut ter an almost unanimous endorse ment of John H. Mitchell for U. S. senator. Should he be elected Clatsop county would have a friend at Washington. Oregon trout are to be procured for the purpose of stocking the streams in New York state. NEW TO-DAY. A. B.
