TODAY'S EXCURSION.
Tho excursion to Seaside this morn
lng should be largely attended. The
O. R. and N. Co. and the Seashore Rull-
road Co. have generously asreed to
donate the whole proceeds of the ex
cursion towards purchasing life-saving
npporatus for Clatsop roach, at Seaside.
Furthermore, (ho hotels at Seaside
have arranged no that the excursionists
will be charged but half the regular
rate for their dinners, thus making It
comparatively an Inexpensive trip.

In the welfare of the Clatsop beaches
than are the citizens of Astoria. They
are really a part of us, and the more
prosperous they are, the more benefl
fltted will be the business men of this

the past few years, any one of which
might have been prevented had the

deal to do with the aversion which
many people show toward this resort,
and the large number of people that
yearly congregate on North Beach.
It Is to be hoped that everyone who

the fewest posslblo objections. Here
tofore, the motive power for all street

have been discarded and a trolley sys

Tho mothod of strlnrfng tho wires,
rays Consul Monngan, Is "by means of
ornamental rosettes fastened Into the
woodwork or walls of houses, having
projecting hooks to which tho wires ore
attached. These hooks are firmly fae
toned, and tested with seven times the
weight they will be called upon to bear.
Owners of houses without exception,
prefer to allow the uso of their houses
free rather than have posts on the
sidewalks." Tho report saya that the
streets of Chemnitz, whore this system
Is In use, are wider than Washington
street In Boston, which is, most of the
way, nnrrowcr than any business street
in Chicago, and In some places It Is not
over i0 or 60 feet In width.
For narrow streets without shade
trees, tho Chemnitz system might
be made available, but there are fjw
ir. any, streets In Chicago, where it
could be applied. The system used In
some American cities, notably In New
Orlaans, where a single ornamental post
Is placed between the tracks, with arms
from which tho wires are suspended,
is said by some to bo fur better and less
dangerous than tho double row of posts
at tho curb which carry the wires. But
It Is to bo hojicd that some other prac

REMINISCENT OF A "GIANT."
What hns befallen the American poo
pie slnco tho days of tho "Cardiff
giant?"
Only a few days ago a petrified giant
In every wny equalling for show pur
poses the Cardiff monster, was dug up
In an Indiana swamp hard by Goshen
There were tho same traces of Incalcu
lable age, the same Interesting symp
toms of petrifaction, the same bewll
derlng suggcstlveness of a prehistoric
race which showmen turned so nobly to
account. Yet here, before a week hns
passed, and before the Hooslor discov
erer hus had time to realize first cost
on his "discovery," experts have taken
his find under observation and pro
nou.icd it a humbug. Tho "giant'" Is so
quickly done for, ho may well wonder
what ha was begun for.
That other petrified fraud was dis
covered also, but not until It had en
riched tho showmen and those lncorrlg
iblea had enjoyed the fun of fooling
all the world.
What oiled the Hoosler giant? Have
tho American people grown sharper or
loBt their earlier relish for being Im
posed upon? Or did the genius of hum
bug dlo when Phlneas Taylor Barn urn
died?
It was certainly a touching scene en
acted at Greenwood Friday afternoon
when the little band of Salvationists
knelt by the side of the newly made
grave of their late comrade, H. P. Jen
son, and paid the last sad rites to the
dear depanted. The tears they Bhed
came from hearts overburdened with
sorrow at the loss of a brother, and
tho beautiful sun-kissed flowers that
were laid on the mound of earth that
hid from view the loved form of their
law companion ana worker, were no
more pure and grand and beautiful
than were the thoughts that prompted
the kindly deed.
Go to Seaside this morning. The
success of the excursion means far
more to you than the dollar piece that
you will contribute in getting there,
Tho money derived from the excursion
will be used for purchasing life-saving
apparatus for that beach.

MILITARY RESOURSES OF CHINA.
We may gain some noton of the
Chinese government's resources for
war by observing tho effect of the
strugglo with Japan upon the Chinese
in America.
Sunday evening no fewer than 100
Chinese laundrymen, merchants, gam
blers, nnd dlve-keeors were gathered
nt a railway stallon In New York city
awaiting the train that was to carry
inom to Montreal and thence, via the
Canadian. Pacific road, to Vancouver,
where they will take the mall steamer
Tor China, These wore tho designated
reserve of the Chinese army a horde
of humanity whose number not the
most expert westerner enn calculate.
We can only guess how powerful Is
tho sway of a government which can
roach out its hand half way round the
glolie to enlist for lt army subjects en-
gatici in peaceful pursuits. The 100
who went back from New York, are
doubtless but a minute fraction of the
throngs cf expatriated Chinese to be
found not only In America, but In Aus
tralia, nnd the Pacllle Islandsall sub
ject to their emperor's commands.
When these ore added to the fttnndlng
army, a body of I,S50,000 men, and the
rouiitlima home reserves In a population
numbering 40fl.00o.000, It Is not diUlcult
to understand the confidence of those
Chlneae who kx,k forward to seeing
Oorva imindiited with their Emperor's
prm Never, perhaps, in the history
i f war have so many men been enlisted
nt fine u may take the field when at

li't'S'h the slow-moving Chinese shall j deluge the Old Wi.rM with M.vo 1.
Marked Is tho Improvement which ha
taken place of late In the relations be
tween Franco and Germany, a striking
Illustration of which has Just been af
forded by tho refusal of the mayor of
Munich to permit th- erection on one of
the public squares of the city of a
fountain destined to commemorate the
battle of Woerth. The mayor declared
that he was strongly opposed to every
thing of a character calculated to
wound tho susceptibilities of Ger
many's western neighbor. The wortiiy
burgomaster has evidently taken his
cue from Emperor William, who won
for himself so much good-will in
France by the noble lunguagc of his
message of condolence to Mme. Carnot,
and the tactful kindliness of his act
In liberating on tho morning of the
funeral of the murdered president the
two French officers Imprisoned as spies.
How much this conduct was appreciated
Is shown at the present moment when
two of the principal I'nrlnlan reviews,
as well as tho press of every political
shade throughout the land, contain ar
ticles of most enthusiastic eulogy of
this young ruler who Is set up by M.
Jules Simon as a "mvdel of every do
mestic virtue," by M. Lemaitrc as ,-the
most chivalrous and generous-minded
of modern munurvha," and by M. de
Vogue as a grandiose and modern im
personation of those prtesb-klngs cf
former times who were Imbued with a
mystical conception of their duty as
pa!oi a of the people. By each of these
three eminent authors he Is, strangely
enough, held up as the principle safe

and conviction as that displayed at the
