The city council deserve credit for
the action they have taken to enp
press the disturbance which from the
very first marked tho appearance of
the Salvation Army in this city. The
noisy, boisterous, deviltry-concocting
crowd, whjph nightly gathered at the
barracks to witness and participate
in the cirens on Sunday as well as
other nights, did more to inculcate a
spirit of lawlessness and profanity
among the young people in sight and
hearing than could-be -offset by the
combined influence for good, ot all
tbe preachers in this city. One of
police judge Jewett's little sermons,
quietly -but firmly delivered, does
more to moralize and subdue some
mischief makers than weeks of mild
remonstrance and sweet persuasion
from less official sources. Since
judge Jewett pronounced sentence on
'one ot tbese disturbers ot the publio
peace mere nas oeen a marjtea
change nnd a blissful quiet has Bet
tied over the barracks, and it does
not seem too soon to assert that
prompt repression ot hoodlnmism is
the safest, cheapest and most satis
factory way to secure quiet, good or
der and respect for tie person and
property of citizens.

THE ASTOBIA AND SOUTH COAST E.R.
Property Ownen Should Assist tbe Koad
Which Will Enhance the Valne
of Their Property..
It may be hoped there will be little de
lay in tbe building of tbe Astoria &
South Coast railroad. Senator Dolph
has introduced a new bill giving the com
pany tho right to bridge Young's bay,
and as there is no opposition whatever
to this, congress will probably grant and
the president sanction it. Before the
end of the next congress pleasure seekers
may bo able to ride in cars to Clatsop
beach.
The above is taken from vesterda 'a
Oregonian. It may truthfully be
said that from the very first public
mention of this Astorian enterprise
notning but words ot encouragement
and predictions of success in connec
tion with it have been uttered by
the various papers published in
Oregon, which have alluded to
it at all. and but verv few
have, failed to -do . so;: Astorians
appreciate this kindly mention
by the press. So far as we can form
an opinion, it seem3 to have been the
aim of -the directors of the Astoria
and South Coast Railway company,
to carry on the , work with as little
publio parade as possible, preferring
to iec me woric as it is continued and
accomplished speak for' itself; mind
fnl we presume 'of the old rndagej
"Actions speak louder than words."
Intelligent,-thoughtful men know
that there are many difficulties to be
surmounted in the preliminary
stages of railroad construction, even
though it be but a short line: Some
times it takes a great deal of patience
and 'persevering argumentation to
convince a man that he is working
against his own personal pecuniary
interests in denying the right of way
through his property, which perhaps
is laud that heretofore "has. been al
most worthless because unimproved
and unproductive, but which will be
enhanced in value very materially so
soon as it shall, be. known that the
very road he is obstructing . will run
through it. We need not go far to
find a case in point. In the construc
tion of the railroad from .Ilwaco
along tho weather beach toward
Shoalwater bay, an obstruction
ist of the kind referred to
gave no little amount of
trouble and annoyance' .to the
directors of that road. HeTefused
to give the right ot way and rejected
a compensation far exceeding tbe
value of the gronnd required. Arbi
tration did not unit him and the com
pany wa3 compelled to apply for the
legal remedy open to them, and the
result was the obstructionist was al
lowed by the court n paltry one 'hun
dred dollars for the land required, a:
sum much less than the company had
previously tendered him. We do not
refer to this particular one of the
many difficulties which it requires
time and patience as we.ll as good
bnsiness judgment to surmount be
cause of any trouble of the kind now
delaying the work on tho Astoria and
South Coast, we know ot none sneh.
On the contrary we are given to un
derstand that a majority of the prop
erty owners between this citv and Sea.
side have already conceded to the com
pany the right of way alone the line t
surveyed oy enter engineer Henry -JJ.
xnieisen, anu we nave no aoaut.mat
any who may havo hesitated, will
after .mature consideration, fully
realize that they have much-more-to
gain than to lose, by cheerfully grant
ing tho right of way if able to do so,
ana it not in circumstances to give, j
meu iu us& uuiy u proper irau mir
remuneration for their land at "it-,
present value, and thus advnnce their
own interests while they are facilit'it
ing the construction of a road winch
cannot but be a lasting benefit to
every man, woman nnd child, resident'
in Clatsop county.

The following is told "of the little
three-year-old son ot n prominent
merohant in Salem.- AVhenever he
burta himself or. thinks ho does and
commences to cry, his mother nlwnya
turns his attention by saying some
thing funny to him and his tune is
changed to laughter. But, a few days
ago, he thoughtthe exigencies of the
case demanded more serious consid
eration. He fell off the porch nrid
hurt his mouth so that it bled. He
ran into the house crying and met h"s
mother with her customary smile; he
saw she was abont to say something,
and he cried out through hia sobs,
"Don't stop me, mamma, don't stop
me; I want to cry'like sixty." "Well,
go in, my boy, nnd cry it out.'-' said
his mother, almost convulsed by the
serio-comic attitude of the case

Jack-Dempsey, who. has been away
ever since the revival -ot 'interest
among high-flying sporting men,
which began with -tho coming. of
Charley Mitchell and has been (light
ened by the recovery of Sullivan, has
oeen neard.irom
Mitchell made him an offer'through
the newspapers ; some time ago of
81,500 if Dempsey would stand-before
him for an eight .round glove
fight and get knocked out. .
Dempsey is roughing it around
Baquetto lake. In a letter published
in the Brooklyn -EYterdated Novem
ber 20, ho says: .
"I readthe notice and feel quite
thankful to Charley Mitohell for his
magnanimous offer. L will bet him
S5.UO0 that he can't stop md in eight
rounds. He has made a proposition,
and as be has an unlimited amount
of cash he can well .afford to stand
tho racket. He had .better consider
the proposition of the California Ath
letic club. If ho is so confident why
loea he. not accept that offer of
85,000 and I think they will give more
than that. I have never Bald I conk!
