These re ports further show that at least one-half of the cultivated farm land west of the Missouri is entirely free from debt, and Is besides yielding a reasonable profit to the owners. The aggregate mortgage indebtedness of the country is perhaps larger than .it ought to be, but it Is not true that farmers are the most heavily burdened In that respect far from It the cities, and especially those of the east, are bearing a larger proportionate share of this kind of debt than are the rural districts. This disposes of the only argument the Populists have ever had, and, with the truth now known and understood among the people, they, as well as the Democrats, stand convict ed of willful and premeditated deception. NEW WATER WORKS. Th-i temperance question Is undergo ing one of Its periodical agitations in the slate of Massachusets. Among other new Ideas on the subject, a number of cler gymen and other prominent citizens of the state are trying to persuade the leg islature to adopt the Norwegian plan of regulaMng the sale of liquor. This plan, in brief. Is the handling of nil liquors In a community by nn Incorpor ated company which shall own all the saloons, conduct the selling, employ sal aried Imrkecpera and give the profits of the business to benevolent purposes. The business Is organized and managed by prominent an! conscientious citizens, with no Idea of personal gain. The hours of salo are reduced and pure liquors only are sold. The system is said to work In a highly satisfactory manner In Nor vay. If Massachusetts adopts the scheme, which seems Improbable, it will be Imitated In many other parts of the country. DEMOCRATIC DECEPTION. It is ustoniHlilng whut a reuctlnn has taken place In this country since the date of the lust national .election on many of the questions that cut such a prominent figure In t hut campaign, ami more particularly those questions uim.ii which the Democracy prldi'd Itself at having curried the country. The ch'tnge In public opinion on the tttrllT question is bo patent It Is no longer tolerated as ft live question for conversation or dis cussion, and even a Democratic senate lias been forced to trim the Bulls of nn ovor.oalous lioLSe of representatives on a measure supiiosed to be responsive to the Wutterson amendment to the Chi cago platform, and has In consequence made Itielf rldlcubus, If not contempti ble, In an attempt to creute u mongrel mixture of free trade, turllt reform and protection alt together. Among tho other questions upon which the Democrats hurped In that cumpalgn, mid upon which the people Were completely mislead, because there were no reliable statistics to disprove it, Was the mortgngo indebtedness of the Western farmer, Many sensible on J cool headed people were completely deceived by the woeful tules told from the stump and In the newspaperj ns to the debt ridden condition of the furnier, and many a man voted the Populist or Dem ocratic ticket for no other reuson in the World than that he believed the east had a mortgage on a 1 moot the entire west, and that the Republicans some how Intended to aid that section in the business of foreclosure. Now, after the lupse of only a few months, come the officio! reports of the census olllee (com piled by Denvx-r&Uc officers), and show that the hated millionaire has very lit tle, If any, money Invested In thut class of securities. These tables show con clusively that local capitalists hold more mortgages, particularly those on fauns, than any other cluiw; and next to them come Insurance companies and savings banks. In which people of small means are the chiefly interested element. Even In Kansas and Nebraska, and the state farther west, when thai odious mons ter, the "money power," has not yet es- Wlille nothing of a personal nature can perhaps be Bala against Mr. John H. Smith, tho Democratic candidate for state senator, yet his friends are In dan ger of going too fur when they try to make him pose ns the "llsherman's friend." Mr. Smith should first get rid of the land he owns upon which trap Mulling Is now being carried on, before his friends talk of the laws for thj pro tection of fish which his great genius will enable him to devise and carry through the legislature. It can be fur ther said that Mr. Smith has too many nenr relatives engaged In trap fishing to be as Impartially opposed to this hi cratlve pastime ns his friends would have It appear.

M. lak. For sale by Chas. Rogers, Astoria, Or, Sole Agent The following letter from Mr. Parker, followed by another from the lately "Indignant Housekeeper," are Interest ing additions to the late correspondence on the "Water Question:" Astoria, May 28, 1804. Editor Astorian: In answer to the inquiries of "House keeper," who is still indignant ibout the water supply as Indicated In The Astorian of the 27th Inst. I will state several things, first, in correction of "Housekeeper's" ejrors. I did not say in my former article that one of the present board had been In the (water works) business "for twenty years," as she says I did; but that some members of the board more than twenty years ago Invested their thousands of dollars in Astoria city water works. Quite a difference in the two state ments. And more than one of the board did so invest his money at such time. Again, I did not use the two adjec tives she attributes to me In describing the commissioners, more "live' and "less mossback." I said more "lively" and "lefts mossbacked" which Is probably quite as good grammar. At any rate, If I did not so write It was a lapsus digitalis, for only those words were In my mind as I wrote. But she doubts my description of the com missioners beling applicable to them, and then asks will that build new water works? I answer, yes, It will (with the money on hand which Bhe Incorrectly ussumes, however) If any ordinary thing that is mortal will. Yes, If my description of the commis sioners Is correct which I reufllrm that among other qualities they are as "lively," as "little mossbacked" and as properly courteous" ("civil, well-bred, polite, complaisant and obliging" Web ster) as any persons In Astoria, with the money at hand, will not build new wat'jr works, please tell me what will? No, "Housekeeper" has asked none cf the commissioners any improper ques tions. I .accord to women the right to ask their husbands, or any other per son, or the commissioners any ques tions prompted by their natural or ac quired lnqulsitlveness. I think this answers the side issues. Now for.the gist of the whole matter why we no not have new water works. First, we do not badly need them, ex cept for some twenty or thirty families in elevated positions above the lower streets In Astoria, and those Incom moded families can be quite well sup plied by putting in the "tanks," which will cost each family less than half the money each of the present commis sioners has expended, without remun eration, In doing what he has conscien tiously done the past two years in look ing after, and in attending to, the water works, as they are and it Is expected to make them. Second, the commission has had sur veys made, of different lines, for the water pipe, from the proposed source of supply, well up Bear creek, 12 or 14 miles from the city, and purchased water rights, where needed, and some, but not all, the rights-of-way through lands on the lines, and have suits In court for securing additional rights-of- way; out uo not think it advisable to commence the clearing out, and digging the trench, for the water pipe, and the construction of reservoirs until the rights-of-way ore fully secured, mid it may take one or two sessions of the circuit court In this county before'such rights are secured. Finally, most of the Intelligent, pru dent men (and women, too) in Astoria, whom the commissioners have consult ed, admit that it will be quite as well to ascertain the probable growth In p'ipu latlon, and increase in demand for hy drant water in Astoria within the next ten years, If we can do so before decid ing upon the size of the main pipe, or the quantity of water to provide for, and of course the amount of money needed to construct the works. Two years ago, when the commis sion borrowed $100,OW (J25,000 mora than was needed to buy the old wutor works), It thought it could see further ahead than It can clearly now, and thought a small sum In excess of the Income of the old works might be needed In se curing grounds, rights, making surveys, etc.; and experience proves the correct ness of the estimate, except that a lens sum than $25,000 would have sullleed. The balance of that sum may yet be needed to prosecute the preliminary business above referred, when ready to proceed, and before the larger sura to be borrowed can be secured. I think tills answers all the questions, and more, too, of the "Still indignant- complainant." W. W. PARKER, Of the Water Commission. A GHASTLY FIND. While workmen were ct.g.iKed In building a skid road for Mr. Trulllnger at a. pointy three-quarters of a mile back of No. 3's engine house, they uncovered a skeleton. It was pnonounced the bonos of a man, an l was In a fair state of preservation. The flesh had left the l,nnni an,l in hflfl nil the Clothing. there ever was any, except a cloth hat and a pair of leather boots. Coroner Pohl was set for, but he being out of the city, the discoverers of this mysterious find left It alone until his return. HIGH WATER. New3 was received here today to the effect that the river at Eagle Cliff, Eu reka, Waterford and other landings Is within a few inches of the docks, with eveiy present prospect, old rivermen say, that the water will go as high, or higher, than In 1780. A rise of one foot more at the points named will necessi tate the suspension of salmon packing. The high water has already seriously lnterefercd with fishing operations; the gill net fishermen not being able to work at all, and the seiners bringing in but few fish. The pack 'here Is so far very light, and It Is reported that the canneries at The Dalles and Cascades are entirely chut down. A CALL. Astoria, Or., May 1st, 1894. To B. S.

Editor Astorian With Interest I read this morning the communication from the water commis sioners, by the pen of tiietr chairman, Its advice and Information ought to afford consolation to the most unrea sonable housekeeper, as she continues her dry cleaning process of housekeep ing. It Is doubtful If she have persuasive power sufficient to Induce her landlord to construct a tank, even though she us upon him the argument of work for the unemployed carpenter and plumber. What a pity that our water commis sioners are not In Washington to deal with the Industrial army, since they can so easily suggest work for others. Then, think what balm to the nerves and what solace to the ruffled temper, as we still "wash our hands In invisi ble water," to know that these are prop erly courteous persons who are manag ing this enterprise so effectively. Thanks, both for advice and Informa tion, front a no longer exasperated, but AMIABLE HOVSEKEEPER. VICTOR SANDERSON, Pile Driving and Dock Building. All work guaranteed.
