-JUNE 30. 1690
City and County Official Paper.
D DI11ECT VOTE.
Tnt question whether senators and
even the president should not be
elected by direct popular vote is at
tracting public attention and is dis
cussed in conjjress. The founders of
the government in its present form
thought, or nearly all of them
did. that when they established the
senate on the basis of election by
the state legislatures they represented
the states of the TJnip in the most
practicable if not Ihe only prac
ticable. ya.v. ' They also 'thought
. ttttU. -srhen thoy constituted the
o5e of president of the United
States to be filled by the electoral
college, they provided for Ihe free
choice of that high oflieer by a disin
terested body better qualified to malic
the choice than the people themselves.
In both arrangements the fathers of
the constitution showed distrust of
the people. In both be it said -with
nil reverence- they exhibited a lack
or that wisdom which they hhowed
roast abundantly in other parts of the
field of their memorable labors.
The noblest plan of government ever
trained was necessarily imperfect in
some respects. The wonder is that it
is not deemed imperfect in more than
three or four particulars. But it is
time now to declare what our fore
fathers could not sccby reason of their
propinquity to the Stuart days, the
doctrine of the right of the people to
chose at first hands all their rep
resentatives. The poople are the
monarch, the people's legislature
contains :k hereditary legislators
to the exclusion of all except
interested clashes. Therefore, there
is no standing place in the public
iad for the logic of liberty for a
se&itc representing states without
representing immediately the people
the states. The states of this union
are the people thereof not the large
collccth'e class, but the several masses
forming the several states. Let them
speak through no instrument but by
their own potent voices, and let them
choose the whole of their national
!cgilaiurc and their national executive
by a direct vote in stales and as states.
This will be the great and final pop
ularization, the last analysis of Dem
ocratic Republicanism.
PROFJSSSIOXPOAL LITJC1AX&'
xtxe countless minor offices of the
XjR;ted States are filled bv a class
kfeown ns ""professional politicians."
These men live by politics, receiving
places qs reward for political work.
Their.oontrol of public ollice is mon
opolistic Mr. Bryce estimates their
nrmher at 200.000, bnt this is prob
ably an underestimate. They consti
tute a guild, although the are not
organized under formal articles ot
association. "With them office
getting (or keeping in office) is an in
dustry, and the fees and emoluments
are accepted as pa for partisan ser
vices rather than for the exercise of
oSaal fnuctions. The influence
which the office holders wield is alto
gether out of proportion to their num
bers or to their intellectual attain
ments. But they iosseas this ad
vantage over all other chisscs -they
arc unified and organized.
They make the management of pri
maries and conventions the serious
business of their lives, and ac
quire a skill and experience in
ire-pulling' which ordinary citi
zens cannot hope to cope with.
The politics ot the country is in the
hands of these men. The people
elect, but cannot nominate, being
redaced to a choice ot candidates
selected b the politicians ot oppos
ing parties. These politicians dictate
sominations, high and low, and after
wards foreclose a lien upon public
places which they claim to have
earned. All others, those who cannot
show a certificate of this character,
arc excluded.
Oxe thing is certain, and that is, nn
kas the property owners of this city
resposd promptly to the proposition
to advertise the city abroad. Uie real
estate men. who are moving in the mat
ter, will drop it entirely, and there will
he a lethargic state which will

see it in that light.
Two railroad collisions are reported
in our telegraphic columns, both
caused by the carelessness of telegraph
operators. Great responsibility of
lifo and property rests upon the light

DanvhiLE, Illinois, must be a
peculiar town or bo governed by
peculiar people of very narrow ideas.
Two baseball clubs composed of
women played a match game there on
Sunday, and they were arrested on a
charge ot disturbing tho peace. Just
as if women had no right to play ball
as well as tho lords of creation. Some
thing is wrong with Danville officials.
Let the girls play ball if they like.
Pkopjsk settlement of the indebted
ness of the Pacific railways to the
United States is a conundrum which
congress is now trying to solve. Possi
bly it may hasten the time when the
main railway arteries of the nation
will come under governmental owner
ship or control. Many able minds are
convinced of the utility of the plan,
and believe it is but a question of time
when it will be done.
There are few people who know
how the ffreat chancellor Bismarck
and his ancestors got their name.
Bismarck is the name of one of those
ancient castles a short distance from
Stcudal. The castle had this name
because it defended the "Marca," or
the lyie where tho river Bieso formed
a boundary in former times or mark of
defence against intruders.
Seattle can no longer claim to
have the only female census enumer
ator in the United States, for it seems
that there is one in this stato, in the
person of Mr3. Afiie Cawley, who has
been appointed census enumerator
for Woodville, Bock Point and Gold
Hill precincts in Jackson county.
Now for the next.
Tins is an eventful time for Astoria,
and upon the energy and progress dis
played this year, depends largely the
future of the city. Hesitancy and in
activity this summer will prove disas
trous lo tho growth and prosperity.
Let zeal and activity bo shown, and
success is assured.
WeiiIi preserved and hearty for his

There is a strife between tho
Northern Pacific and the Hunt system
as to which railroad will reach Gray's
