' The ABtorlan guarantee to 1U ub sjcrlbers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia river. Advertising rates can be had on ap plication to the business manager. The Weekly Astorian, the third old est weekly In the state of Oregon, has, next to the Portland Oregonlan, the largest weekly circulation In the state. Handley & Haas are our Portland agents and copies of the Astorian can be had every morning at their stand on First street. The attention of the city council has teen repeatedly called to the Import ance of adopting and enforcing some stringent form of regulation respecting the custom so prevalent of holding semi-public meetings and giving crowded entertainments In the various fraternal and private halls of Astoria, Since the frightful disaster at Sil ver Lake some weeks ago, public at tention nearly everywhere has been aroused to the danger of permitting large assemblages of people In places of entartalnment unprovided with proper means of escape In case of fire, and the calamity which overtook this little Ore gon hamlet has possibly been the means of saving valuable lives In some of the proudest and greatest of the earth's places. But here In Astoria not the slightest impression seems to have been made Iby the terrible warning, and our people continue to take risks that should cause the whole community to shudder. On last Wednesday evening nearly five hundred people, principally women and children,, were allowed to assemble in a room not intended, and wholly unadopted for the accommoda tion of large crowds. A long and nar row, third-story room, with tut one en trance, and that at one of the far ends, one stairway, and unprovided with any means of fighting fire or any escape whatever. The mere suggestion of what might have happened In case there had been even a false alarm of firo, is enough to make those who were there yet feel nervous. A panic onoe. started would have Inevitably caused the loss of many lives, and an actual fire would have resulted In the sacrifice of three-fourths of all present. It Is folly to say people ought to have sense enough to stay away from such places ; they win go, and will orowd themselves almost to suffocation for the sake of feeing tliere. Such, Indeed, is the per versnesa and recklessness of people ' seeking pleasure, that It Is said there were those present at the gathering alluded to who got Indignant and al most Impolite In the warmth of their remonstrances at the efforts of Chief Foster to keep at least the aisles cleared of chairs. Now that the only building In Astoria at all suitable for giving entertainments of any size has passed Into other uses, It Is probable the tendency to overcrowd other halls will toe more frequent than ever, and It is the duty of our local law makers to take prompt and vigorous steps to prevent the happening of some accident that may bring regret and mourning to many hiippy homes throughout the city. There Is no better Illustration of the benefits resulting from the progress thus far made In civil service reform than In the marked Improvement of the postal service since the civil ser vice rules have been applied to the subordinate branches of the service. All tlM postmasters have become con verts to it. But these rules do not pre vent the removal of the most faithful and competent employes 'whenever the head of the department wants to find places for his friends. There la a bill before congress which prohibits the re moval of any postofflce clerk, letter carrier, or railway postal clerk, exoept for crime, until after written charges have Ibeon preferred against him and properly examined into, although he may Ixi suspended meanwhile. H is to he, tioiKJ this till will pass. There is no more meritorious class of govern ment employes than those mentioned. Their work Is hard; their pay small, They are Intelligent and faithful Their duties are purely non-political. There is no reason why they should be sub ject to removal merely to find room for the dopendents of some politician who has influence In the department or office. No lnu!llf;'iit man in Astoria need be d.-t-Tod from (.spreading his opinion In favor i,f SvtmU.r rU; V re-election by ixilph ha made certain pledges i- gardlng the disposal of federal patron age in Astoria under the next adminis tration, contingent upon bis election, In the first place, Mf. Dolpb is too wise and astute a politician to make any promises' of that kind in advance of rls election, and In the second place 09 would not enter Into'" such a' com Mnatlon with ' an element which he well knows could exert no influence la die direction which would now be the most useful to him. But whether probable or Improbable, there are those in Astoria who are in a position to posi tively deny the story. Let no Repub lican be deceived by this fresh attempt lo prejudice and mislead public sent! ment. Attend the business men's meet ing and you will be entirely satisfied on this point. ' There should be no further delay In calling the proposed business men's" meeting In Astoria to Indorse Senator Dolph and pass resolutions requesting Khe Clatsop county representatives to vote for his re-election. The men who are at the head of the movement are among the most influential in town, and there can Ibe no doubt whatever that such a meeting would be a sweep-' Ing success. Whether Messrs. Curtis jjikl Lester should see fit to act in ac cordance wltai the demands of the meet ing makes no difference; let the meet ing he called, and Astoria afforded a ihance to set herself right before the itate in this important matter. The flsh bill has been made the special jrder in the legislature for today, but it Is said by those In a position to know .hat a number of radical amendments will be proposed, and carried, which vill completely alter the bill as agreed on by the Joint committee in Portland ast Sunday, It Is further said that rhe legislature will not be hampered by .my consideration of what the Wash- .ngton people may agree to, as there is a prevailing impression) at Salem that Oregon is entitled to exorcise ex sluslve jurisdiction over all the waters jf the Columbia. An exchange says in a little over twelve months hence delegates to the .latlonal conventions 111 begin to be jhosen. There is reason to believe some it the good and faithful Republicans now In the Oregon legislature will be compelled to go to the Populist meet ing If they attend any national con vention In the capacity of delegates.
