As appears from a special dispatch to the Astorian last evening, both the oharter amendment bill and the one providing for tlw Young's Hay bridge, passed the house at a late hour yes terday. The dispatch evidently con fuses the two bills in saying the latter ,blll Is now ready to go to the governor, as the charter amendment bill origin ated In the senate and could only go through the house after first passing that body, so there Is little room for doubt that the charter amendments now only await the governor's signa ture to "become tlhe law of the city A number of these charter amendments, there Is reason to bellive, are obnoxlouB to at least three-fourtliB of our tax-paying citizens, and although the Astorian has repeatedly and earnestly called puMlo attention to the Importance of the subject, for some Inscrutable rea son, no ateps w hatever have been tukon to prevent their adoption. Of uli tho laws under which Astoria's affairs are at present administered, those relating to the water and police commissions are almost the only modern and tho least objectionable provlblons of the entire charter, and should be tho very last to be changed or abolished. It la not the duty of any properly conducted news paper to do more than call attention to, and explain according to its best light and Judgment, the good or ibad aspect of any proposed movement likely to affect the public wolfaro and Interest. This the Astorian has already done, not only in the matter of the two amend ments alluded to, but to others of near ly equal Importance. It will hot thcr fore be for want of adequate and timely warning If the peoplo find themselves at the close of this legislative session with several undesirable and very rep rehensible laws unalterably established on the city's statute book for the period of at least two years. The Jlepublloans of Washington spend weeks In stubborn caucus balloting, and finally agree on a candidate for sen ator by a small majority. They next day go Into Joint assembly with the other two parties In the legislature ultd inanlmously elect their candidate on the first ballot. Tho llepubllcons of Oregon unanimously sign an agreement to go Into caucus, with tho full consent of all then existing candidates. On tin first ballot a candidate sets the nom ination by a good majority, and they then go Into Joint assembly and spend days in fruitless balloting In order to prevent the election of their concur candidate. Grand old Washington. Poor old Oregon. nut tio matter Jiow high the stand ards of any political party may tie,' said a distinguished leader lutely, It cannot hoX) for valuable, practical, and suc cessful results without a thorough or ganization of Its adherents.

The flwmclnl strain and perplexity through which this government is now passing I .J attracting marked attention all over the civilized world. Following their Invariable custom in times of dis turbance or crisis of any sort In any lending nation, all European countries have special emissaries and agents here Investigating and critically watching and reporting every phase of develop ment in the situation. Among these distinguished foreigners now attracting mudh notice In Washington, Is M. de Routkowsky, representing the Russian minister of finance, and one of the greatest authorities on finance In all Europe. M. de Routkowsky lately con sented to give some of his views on our troubles to the correspondent of a leading middle-western paper for pub lication, and they are an in'.erestlng Illustration of the unbiased sentiment of Intelligent foreign observers on the auses which have contribute .1 to our difficulties. Premising that he could not give any extracts from his report to his government, and was only ex pressing his own personal and unofficial Ideas, M. de Routkowsky said, In part, is follows: You spend JHC,000,000 for pensions, SMr,00'),000 for education, $111,000,000 for public works. These are enormous ex penditures for any people to make, you do It easily, because your resource are magnlllcent. In fact, you have Fuch revenue resources that one coming here from albroad must ascribe your resort to an income tux not to renins oi finance, but to the rise of soclcl'stlr doctrines In the minds of your people. We also 'have an Income tax, but it Ik legitimate revenue device and would not exist if we bad such revenue re cources ns the United States enjoys. If your Income tax was levied solely tor revenue It would take In smaller In comes aS 11 OOeS 111 1'jUHM'e, name 111- comes as small ds 00 a year are taxed and where 75 per cent of the revenue from which tax Is derived fi-im the imall Incomes. Your currency sj-Biem I have carefully studied. It la iui un- i-leiitlflo system. You have more tnan 51,100,000,000 of paper currency, of which $.'50,000,000 Is exchangeable for gold at the option of tho holder, and agu'.nHt this you endeavor to keep a reserve ol Jt0,000,000 of gold coin constantly or. hand. Just now you are greatly dis turbed because so much of your po! Is going abroad and I see your presi dent Is trying to find a meu'.s of relief "Let me ylve you my conclusion ns to your difficulty," continued M. dc RoutkowPky. "After a careful ntudy f the situation, you ore not losing gold because of any economical conditions f the country. Your financial resources tvro not falling, nor are they suspectec' )f failure, A country which hus yearly products of over $12,000,000,000 In valui should not feel tho loss of inft.nO0,O0O In Told In a year. It Is a bagatelle. Tin fact that It goes out does not of Itself Indicate any decadence of your nallonu' prosperity. The deficit In your reve illes, similarly, Is due to law Is tem- onrary-nnd not to any lack of pros- oerlty In the country. Tho condition if your people Is shown by the fact that Mmnirti 1S!)4 was a year of great wot w- wide depression, It was little felt by your banks. Your present difficulty Is due solely to polities, to legislation and the threm of legislation. Itibegiui With tho Slicr imvn uct, whloh created nn artificial de mand for sliver by menus of a law d starteil the distrust thnt tin parity of the metals might not be maln- ixlnt'd by the government, it war small at first. 1ut constantly grew. Of course Europe, as your creditor, could lot sit. by and see you approach a sil ver basis, the debasement of ft dollat to 50 cents without ahum. Of lnlc I'juropenn opinion 'has been divided as to the cause of your trouble; some Kit;. It was a real commercial and ilniwla' -rtnl with you, others thought the llllleulty solely one of legislation nnd rvdllles. I see very clearly thnt th Int er Is the rorreet theory. N'otwItlmtmrV n?r the evils worked by the Flierrr.nn aw, we Europeans saw a sliver party n vour cotwress very renrly def.-ntltiR lls're-poal. They would l:ave succeeded but for th firmness of your president. "At tho present time we see tho same Mlver party well entrenched In your aw-mnliing bodks. Whenever the gov ernment wants any legislation for car rying on Its l u liiess those men ip:enr to oppose au-1 to dictate the terms on which they shall rftep aside. Europeans have seen your Mr. Bailey, of the Judl Inry committee, declaring the govern ment hns no rlfi'ht to Issue bonds under the law of 1875. We have Keen a sen. aor, Mr. Allen, appcnrlnjrjn court and aylog subscribers to tne loan Issued inder that law must take their own risks as to Its legality. In Europe we have come to the conclusion that you must have a considerable socialistic party In this country. The taik which we hear about the shyloeks on Wall trevt and such things reminds us very much of the talk of the socialists of tho old world. Fortunately for the nvdlt of the I'nlted States, these si elallsts have not yet ben able to carry rhi day. But they are still active. The Increase of noelallstlo tendoncb-a In 'his country Is sew durtn the Inst ten years In opposition to every move tow ird prtiteotlng the credit of the gov- mnM-n; In nn Income tax. In clamor sratnst corporations. In nerve )iKi tbin to railroads, and Is now shown In Coughing. For all the ailments of Throat and Lungs there is no cure so quick and permanent as Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil. It is palatable, easy on the most deli cate stomach and effective. Scott's Emulsion stimulates the appetite, aids the digestion of other foods, cures Coughs and Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, and gives vital strength besides. It has no equal as nourishment for Babies and Children who do not thrive, and overcomes Any Condition of Wasting. St'ndar PamfiLUt cm Scoti'i EmultioH. Free, Scott &Bowao,H. Y. AIIDruggiitt. SOc.andfk all question:) relating to capital. Your law permitting railroads to pool is one healthy reaction from this wave of so cialism and 1 about the most encour aging sign on your horizon. 'From he European standpoint it is easy to describe your preBent difficulty. Tho Sherman law In the first place, and tho distrust created ever since by the operations of your silver party have caused foreign capital to be withdrawn. It has come to pass that foreign In vestors not only wish to market the American securities which they hold, but they are not willing to reinvest their proceeds as they formerly were. This explains in a nutshell, as you say, .v'hy gold In going abroad. The settling jalanec is against you, notwithstanding uiat the balance of trade has been in our favor. During four of the last five year. tho balance of trade has been In your favor to an aggregate of consld dderably more than 500,000,000. Last j ear it amounted to $237,000,000, and yet in that year you shipped abroad .aoie t'.iun toli.uuU.OOO of gold to settle your buluiKcs. The gold for this pur ,otso has been taken from your national nvasuiy and now you have a crisis jpuii you. "How I' i.g vi:i these withdrawals of ,i:d ciitii::iue.' I cannot say, but un .11 toi.,iLu'Ke la restored abroad that you aru not going to a sliver basis, .Vhich, of course, would mean practical epudiatlon, except where payments in iAi. are stipulated. If Information as to the amount of your obligations held xbj'oad were obtainable. It would be .asler to estlniute the drain of gold ,v"hich you must look for. As a student of tho econoinleul conditions of nations, I can sea noLiil'iiK In your situation iVhl.'h would cause alarm. The remedy is In your own hands. Your country is all rijj'ht, and all you have to do Is to -xcrclf'O the power of the Jaw. You should stop dangerous experiments, iiippreBH your socialistic tendencies, as ture the world that you are not going o a rllver busls, and then European npltul will not only stop running away rom you, but will seek your shores for Iiaeslnient."
