Thit paper hat the largest Circulation on the Columbia river. An honest and complete telegraphic re port givei a newspaper a right and titlt to the name. The newt of he world, freth ereri morning at your breakfast table, in what you can find in the Attorian. It holdt the exclusive telegraphio franchite, and itt service it improving daily. There is reason to believe that the president and secretary of the treasury have a scheme of finance upon which they hope to unite the democratic party, and that It includes the devel opment of state banking, to take the place of national banks, and to over come the widely prevalent silver lu nacy. They might do something if It were not for the fact that a compromise with unsoundness affects the whole system, and the democratic party Is simply unsound on money. A majority of democrats desire the debasement of money, and do It because they wish debts to be paid with cheaper stuff than the contract calls for. The rough of the fact is, they want a percentage of repudiation, and the larger the per cent." the stronger the sentiment. 811 ver is the first tep, and the next Ih "more greenbacks." First the silver slide then the greenback leap. The Chicago platform had a gold plank in it, and also a catamount plank. The demand for the repeal of the Sherman law was a fraud, be cause It did not say whether gold or rags was meant, or mention at all what was to happen after proposed action The demand for the repeal of the tax that prohibits state banking meant business, for it would open the way foi the revival of the dirtiest and most swindling paper money that ever wat used by crooks and sharps to bunco i people. !..;': .'ii-iJJl! It has been said In quarters accus tomed to accuracy of Information that Mr. Cleveland was for a while much enamored of the state bank of Issue Idea, end thought he could see In It e chance to harmonise his party. It has even been stated that he wrote his letter of acceptance so strongly In favor of state banking that It was re rejected In solemn conclave, and cut down and out, until It was mutilated almost beyond recognition. Still, he got the unsound Ideas Into the letter of acceptance; and they were very use ful In holding the democratic lines In the South against the ' vigorous on slaught of the populists. Several close, personal friends of the president have been saying curious things about state banking, and putting things In such ways oa to Indicate that they had been commissioned to Bklrmlsh and ascer tain publlo opinion; but the skirmishing has not been done with such boldness us to be effectual. The people have not been aroused. Mr. Ilarter, of Ohio, one of the pioneers, has written and spoken in vain, so far as occupying the public attention Is concerned. ' Mr. Carlisle haa been reported to have had In mind while senator a prop osition to use silver coin or bullion In stead of United States bonds to secure the currecy of the national banks. It Is For the Next Thirty Dajs, To meet imperative demands, I will offer at such low prices on install ments, with easy payments, that baaed on the theory that the silver can be held as a real security that prom ises permanency and does not draw any Interest, and this, it has been fond ly calculated, might do two Jobs at one turn. We have hud a compromise silver bill, p. scheme for repealing the Sher man law, by coining the margin of the sliver bullion held for treasury notes. There Is enough bullion for one hun dred and fifty millions of standard sil ver dollars, and there Is out for It one hundred millions of treasury notes. It Is proposed to reduce the security from gold to silver, which would leave one third of the sliver free, and this it is proposed to coin Into dollars, and upon them to Issue silver certificates floating fifty millions, and adding that amount to the sum In the treasury without buying any silver. Putting the Ideas of Mr. Cleveland and Carlisle together, It Is not beyond conjecture that they mean to try up on the country state banking with na tional supervision, the amount of the national prerogative asserted being to prescribe that the state banks should secure their notes with silver bullion or dollars, combining the lncreaseed use of the metal with state bank Issues. Such a plan, we should think, would be cumberous at the start, and in the end displeasing to everybody. A long a the flty allow the puhlle Jail to ffler ami pollute the heart of Antorla, Ih council dare not en fore the laif on pri vate Individual. How can the payment of good sal aries to the police force mean a drain on the pockets of the tax payers, when their work brings a big revenue Into the city treasury every year? From a credit and debit view, or any other way we choose to look at this matter, the fact is apparent that efficient and hard working city officers are worth ample wages. If Astoria Is quiet and orderly It Is the carefulness of custodi ans of the peace that makes it so. Withdraw men of good caliber, and substitute cheap policemen. Then you will see crime rampant on our streets In a month, and you will cheerfully pay every nickel that the city can provide to restore order again. Prevention is better than cure. Besides, it doesn't cost so much. The beat abused Journalist in the country Colonel Elliott P. Sheppard, died In New York last night. He has been for years the butt of every news paper in the Empire state, with per haps tine exception the Sun. The Mall and Express, however, waa made through Sheppard's energies, a great and a clean organ, always bearing on Its face evidence of the predominance of the religious instinct of its owner. He pandered to no interests, and, on the whole, did, much to redeem the name of New York Journalism from the .itWn of a million readers. IHjis out the filthy horrl called the jail without delay. It I not humanity to main- Human 6rinp tuffcr In uch a rookery. Judge Dundy's death removea from the bench a man who throughout his loose of otllce waa one ot the moBt ca pable and learned Judges who ever oc cupied a Judicial chair In Oregon. His decisions were always looked forward to by the legal fraternity of the county with great Interest, and his death will take from our midst one of the rapidly decreasing body-guard of Portland's pioneers. "The Salem Statesman is sorry to see that the wet weather continues in As toria, and cheerfully invites the editor of The Astorlan to visit this city to take in the balmy spring breezes and the warm sun." The harp, once more: At the Statesman's invitation We feel a high elation, And to visit him we're positive We oughter; But he must be our creditor For we can't ask the editor Of Salem's morning paper down "To water," For he doesn't take with ecstacy to water. The new school directors got down to business yesterday. We trust they will make a record for themselves during their terms of office. Hope Ferguson's election as permanent school clerk will find favor with everybody. YQU -OW HAVE A HOME IN'HILL'S FIRST ilDDITIOM. YOU SHOULD BEAD THIS.
