FACTS PLAINLY STATED. The Oregonlan of Tuesday contains the following editorial under the cap. tlon "A Moral Spasm", It states the facts of the case and the universal ex perience so plainly that it is given en' tire: "Astoria is thrilling with an orgasm of moral reform, which the most Ban guine citizens hope may last three weeks. The saloons were closed on Sunday by police order. The dlrec. tors of the leading social club are un der arrest for permitting sale of liquors and play at billiards on Sunday Twenty-two ladles who carry on a re tail traffic opposed by morality and forbidden by law are In confinement or under ball, and as many men have been arrested for gambling or for "being proprietors of houses where gambling Is carried on." It is not quite clear whether persons of the last category are owners o'f the premises rented by gamblers or only the pro--prletors of the outfits and tenants of the buildings. It does not appear that the landlords of the persecuted ladles have been arrested, still the arrest of the club directors seems to prove that the moral epidemic Is no respecter of of persons. Perhaps, If the landlords have not been arrested, they will be. This Is very wholesome and gratify lng. It wilt make Astoria a pleasanter home for Its own citizens, a helpful ex ample for other cities an edifying example for all nations, while the moral epidemic lasts. It Is desirable that It should endure without limit, Nearly all the things undertaken to be prohibited are bad In themselves or hurtful in. their Influence. Open saloons on Sunday are an evil thing, not because it la a crime to drink or sell liquor, but because they tend par ticularly to disorder on a day which In one of Idleness for most of their pat rons, as well as a day of religious ceremonial tor another large class, and disorder breeds orlrmel The Sunday closing of saloons Is a wholesome meas ure of police prevention. It Is true that the sale of liquor In a private club house to members does not tend to public disorder, but It Is probable that the arreet of the club directors Is not to be taken seriously. The other practices for which Astorl ans of both genders are temporarily restrained of " their liberty are essen tially evil . and ought not to exist, Gambling Is Irredeemably demoralis ing. At Its best, It Is a form of theft and at Its worst It la mere swindling and moral debauchery. The traffic of the brothel Is infamous. Those things ought to be completely extirpated, In Astoria and everywhere else. The city authorities of Astoria, who are trying to abolish them there, and the good citizens who encourage the author! tes, deserve nothing but praise for their publlo virtue and civic courage. They deserve all success in their earn est attempt to moke Astoria a moral city, It would be a good thing for the city and the rest of Oregon and the world as well if they would maintain there forever the holy calm and lovely freedom from all forms of vice which made Astoria a terrestrial paradise last Sunday. Dut good people do not get what they deserve in this world, and It is impos sible to hope that the moral reformers of Astoria will be able to keep the pub llo morals of that place up to the pitch of last Sunday, even for the minimum term of three weeks. Whatever the re sult of the coming trials, It is dismally probable that, long before that time shall pass, the saloon will be again For the Next Thirty Dajs, To meet imperative demands, I will offeijat such low prices on install ments, with easy open on Sunday, the gamblers will be plying their trade, and emancipated clt izenesset will be again trafficking that which should be priceless for filthy lu cre. This conclusion Is Justified by the uniform history of similar attempts of municipal punncation. It la the pe culiarity of these spasms of public vir tue to be shortlived. Public virtue, or the moral sense of the community as a whole, has this fatal disadvantage In conflict with pub' lie vice, or the evil tendency of the community as a whole, that it Is spas modic and intermittent, while the lat ter is untiring and constant. The pub 11c sentiment of every community Is predominantly good; there Is more mor al sense and motive and purpose than immoral, or society could not endure. But public morality has long seasons of inaction. When its repositories are caring 'for other interests their private morals or their commercial or social Interests public vice is always active and vigilant. The latter cannot stand for a day when the former is aroused and active, but it has only to wait week or a month or a year to regain the lost ground when its powerful ene my falls into inaction. With patience, persistence and diligence, the weaker minority of the vicious can secure certain average of the freedom in the most virtuous community living. It has only bide its time." The people of Michigan are confront ed by a result of the abolition of cap ltal punishment, whhjh had not been anticipated. It seems now that criminals who are undergoing life sentences realize that their punlshmtent can be no greater, no matter what additional crimes they may commit Not long ago a man named Cuddy was murdered by a life convict, an unnatural brute named Lat lmer, who murdered his mother and killed one of his guards In his attempt lo escape. And now the extreme punish ment that can be given Is nothing In addition to what he was getting before. It looks as though wv might expect to L'je murders by life convicts becoming much more frequent, through the oper ation of this law, and that a sentiment of mercy cannot be safely shown cold blooded murderers, Justice to citizens and a proper regard for the lives of those who are compelled to serve as guards demands that they be, killed. While there Is a capital crime there should tte a capital punishment. The r.'jws of the nomination of Hon. C. B. Bellinger, as United States Dis trict Judge, will be hailed with feelings of satisfaction by all members of the bar with whom Mr. Bellinger has come In contact during the many years of his honorable career In the practice of his profession. An eminent Jurist, a man whose mental vision is unclouded nnd whose integrity Is unsullied and above even the suspicion of reproach, Judge Bellinger will be an honor to the bench. Every despondent man or woman .should paste In his or her hat the words which Napoleon spoke to a per jon who said would avoid a certain situation by blowing out his brains, 'Yes, I can do that," Bald the emperor, "but those who wish me well could not profit by it, and those who wish me liarm would be pleased." A Chicago paper has a lengthy or tlcle on "How to CVjt Children Out of Jail." This Is, no doubt a subject of great importance considering that email a proportion reside in Jails. It may be in order to suggest, however, that much good might result from care ful consideration of tlA3 means of keep, lng children out of Jail. FROM MRS. H. W. BEECHER. "40 Orange Street, Brooklyn. N. Y., Feb. 11. 1890. "I have used Allcock's plasters for some years for myself and family, and as far as able, for the many sufferers who come to us for assistance, and have found them a genuine relief for moat of the aches and pains which flesh Is heir to.
