Tho subject Is attracting much attention in certain quarters In the East, and may be expected to become an Ixsue on the Pacific- Coast In the near future. The party first to take up the qucstUm In a practical way Is certain of a large ami Influential following throughout the country. Americanism, In Its broadest sense, must dominate the si!opennful policy the Americanism which doesn't ask where a man Is born so much as what are his conduct and caimbllltles There- are many born under this ling who are foreign to the Institutions and principles It covers, while many born abroad are amwng Ua noblest and best defenders. The class to which these latter belong should always find a welcome, They will be the first to draw. the line n."alnt tho lawless, the vicious, and the depraved which have for years boon floating to these shores. The liberties and equalities of this country must bo reserved for those only who show a due appreciation of them. The tnslt of educating Into good cltl sens the native-born population is a large one. Republican Institutions rest upon the Intelligence of the masses; and there Is reason to fear tho standard has been of Inte years steadily down ward, notwithstanding the enormous spread of the free-school system. The country has not assimilated all the raw material coming this way. A barrier must be set up against the tide of Immigration which can be only crossed by those who are physically, morally, and Intellectually capable of under standing, defending and maintaining th highest Ideal of republican govern ment. " 1 . " ! The following itm from an Influential exchange shows the kind of advertising the state of Oregon Is receiving in the east Comment would be suprefluous: "Capt. Humphrey, of PMulleton, Or., I a Pwullst. He said in a. speech that the next legislature of that tate will be tills bAitY -T-. I, n ,,' "'friM"-luminw 'in imanwx-wmt m, r - - PupullBt, and If tiitl rnelrtbvrs 'do not do what the1 people Want ihey will be huhgf when they get home.' This remark Was warmly Indorsed by his audience. Are the people going crazy V POLITICAL POINTERS FOR OI GON VOTERS. Philadelphia. Press. Tho whole situation demands and en courages uncompromising warfare, Globe Democrat. The reoeated modifications of the ( tariff bill simply mean that- Democratic votes for the measure come high, but that they must be had at any price, Philadelphia Times. If Democratic divisions make It lm possible to pass the new tariff bill, the sooner the Democrats contess tneir in competency to legislate for the people, Wv permitting the bill to be defeated the better It will be for them and for the country. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Tho changes made by senators In the Wilson, bill have for their object the securing of Democratic votes In par ticular localities. They do not legislate for the country at large, hut for the Democratic party. It is a radical, con stituMonal defect with Democratic lead ew always, and has been the cause of the moat of our vicious legislation. Boston Advertiser. If the committee should publish the statistics furnished by reliable and well informed business men the shameful character of the Gorman bill would be even p'.nlner than before. The commit t?o may consider some of the blunt statements of American workers of fensive;" but to the general public the Gorman bill deals and trades and bribes are more "offensive" by far. Chicago Inter Ocean. The attempt to reduce northern wages and to destroy northern manufactures "at one fell swoop" has been abandoned as Impracticable. But Senator Mills openly confesses his chagrin at Its abandonment, and virtually pledges himself to the support of any measure, however Ill-framed, "and however fraught with Injustice, that shall effect a reduction of protection, however small such reduction may be. Philadelphia Press. They have rejected the principle of free raw materials, and there Is no Just renson why they should not defend the million farmers Interested In wool as well ns the quarter of a million miners interested in ore. They have recognized that protection Is right and necessary In some schedule and there Is no ground upon which they can excuse themselves In caring for the steel Indus try and leaving the woollen industry stripped and naked to Its assailants, New York Tribune. There In absolutely no help for It; If the new bill of sale Is to lie substitute, Item by Item, for tho bill originally re ported by the committee, the senate will have to discuss at some length the question whether each of the trusts ajid monopolies should receive the excep tional favors proposed, and whether It Is In accord with public policy to grant such f -ivors to monopolies while legiti mate Industries, upon which the liveli hood of millions of workers depends are to he prostrated by destructive re duction of duties. New York Tribune. The Democrats have themselves pro poped revernl hundred changes In the bill they reported from committee which are at. war with the general pol icy and character of the measure. Each of these bus to be separately considered, each requires sepnrate explanation and Justification because It Is contrary to the original policy of the bill, and each Invites numerous amendments because a departure from that policy raises the question ns to ench Item how far that departure shall go. Some of the amend ments, moreover, are such as must In volve prolonged debate. Troy Pi-ess (Dem.). Said another savant of advanced at tiro, who has recently become a strong protectionist : "I was converted to tnat standard by the reading of the speech made by Charles E. Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press, and late minis ter to Russia, at the dinner of the bnsud of trade, containing the stat? ment 'that the commerce, the transpor tation, the Interchange of money among citizens of the United States In 1890 amounted to sixty billions of dollars. and all the rest of the world put to gether aggregated but six billions.' " Robert O. Ingersoll. Here Is the way Col. Robert G. Inger soll puts It: "They tell us we can get a ton of steel rails In England for $20, which, because of the protective tariff, costs 125 here at home. Well, what of It? If we buy of England, England has our J:'0 gold piece, we have her ton of steel rails. If we buy at home we have the ton of steel rails Just the same and $20 In gold which England does not get. Who quits loser England who gets nothing, or America who makes her own rails, keeps her own gold and has for citizens the skilled artisans who made the rails?" New York Tribune. Tho whole number of persons em ployed In the refining of sugar was only I.S'X), according the census, bu the RHI of Sale proposes to add over $45,000,000 to the tnx on that product. At the some time the latest positively final revision, according- to the estimate submitted on Tuesday by the committee, would re duce the duties paid on Iron and other metals about $11,146,000. Throwing away about, four-tenths ot the duiic now de- j ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, rivf-d from thesa products, the Denio touts would prostrate the Industries up on which more than 600,000 men depend for a livelihood. Yet the new duties on sugar would not probably help .in the slightest degree; the 7,529 men engaged In refining, nor would they save the treasury from risk, for tho Bugar trust would be able, by buying and bringing In its sugar free cf duty before January 1, to pocket for Itself the entire revenue for the first year. What excuse can pos sibly be given for depriving half a million Industrious workers of their occupation or of their wages, In order to enrich a monopoly which has notori ously bought the favor of the Demo cratic party and, it is believed, of some senators individually? THE WATER QUESTION. Inquisitive Housekeeper Desires Certain Information. An The member of the afflicted sisterhood whose letter will be found below, asks information simply; but In her questions appear also an Intimation ot what the trouble Is, with a faint suggestion of the appropriate remedy. Our sister talks about wheels that won't go round. Now, If she were referring to anything about a printing offlce, The 'Astorlan would feel no delicacy In expressing an opinion as to how the dllflculty mfght be overcome. In an ofllce of that kind, when the wheels in any given cornlinn tlcn refuse to move a press, for In stanceIt is usual to throw out the of fending machine and put a new one in. The letter Is as follows: Editor Astorlan: Seeing that you have given place to two articles from sister housckeepei-s, and having endured In silence, what I thought was beyond remedy, at least so long as the present board of water commissioners was In office, I trust you will also give place to a few questions from me. Mr. Smith, manager of the water company, tells us In this morn ing's (Wednesday's) Issue of your paper that the pipes ore very 'frail and lli'ble to serious breaks." Dire I suggest (?) that the taxpayers' money was not given to be continually repairing old pipes, hut to put in new pipes, new out fit all along the line, or a new system entirely. Is It Impossible to do this? in there no other system by which Astoria oould be supplied with nn abundance of goad, clean, sweet-smeiniig water: n so, what is the reason it la not done? The newest expression to condone the ; mistakes of an lncometent business I man is that the business wheels In Ills ! head won't work. A pertinent question would be, what Is the matter with the water wheels In the commissioners' heads? Respectfully, INQUISITIVE HOUSEKEEPER. LOST.
