Although there may be some cannery. men in th country who know how to run newspapers, K does not necessarily follow that there are newspaper men who know how to run canneries, and exoarlenci teaches us that there is no rebuff so ens. y or so quickly (bred as the one that follows an attempt to teach a man how to conduct his own business. Nor do We propose at this time to do more than throw out a few hints to the salmon packers of this river, which are tendered solgly that the reforms indicated may accrue to their beneflt, and the beneni of Astoria and the state of Oregon at ; large, "The education of the consumer Is progressing, and it is because we be. Hews that the .'(education of the pro vider" should always keep a little ahead, that -we address ourselves today to tht men on whose prosperity depends in a great measure the prosperity of every resident of this city. ' How any body of business men with the oulck -wit necessary to have (built up a large and lucrative trade could dellb. erately Stand out against organization o long as the salmon packers have done baa always been a source of surprise to a great many people. Though attempt after attempt has been made to bring the Industry under one head, they have ai. ways failed completely: As far as we can learn the reasons for these failures have generally been of the most trivial description, jever trending, on any serlout point of difference, or bringing forth any argument or obstacle that by tact ana effort could not have been swept away in a moment. With all the history of the WMtlW BjVWWI v"(i VfBlVll UlCllll with all the excellent results of organi sation "hold up to them from twenty different localities, how is it that the object has not yet been accomplished! It Is because the few level headed men Who nave labored for years, giving their time and money cheerfully (o the fur therance of this object, have, we regret to say, only labored spasmodically. They have, it Is true, sown good seed, but it has not been cared for by systematic and determined effort. There are halt a dosen packers in this city who, if they once stood up shoulder to shoulder for organ, isatlon, with th determination to carry It through and never to let go till they did, would gain their end in a wonder fully short time. The flrBt lesson of the canners education, then, is a simple word of three syllables-organize, organ ize; organise. Lesson number two Is an old story but th packers want to take it to heart today as mush, as they did when they saw It at tbe bead of their copybooks at school "Honest Perseverence brings Supcesa" The Aeolian harp, that most , delicate of all musical instruments, is not more quick to respond to a breath ot wind than is public opinion to recognize and stand by genuine merit. Canners should never make tbe mistake ot sup posing Hut a Utile additional labor, a little extra car in the packing of their product, is wasted. It pays for itself hundred times over In th long run. It Is a mistake, too, to believe that goods which are placed on the markets ot the world to appeal to purchasers solely on the score ot superior merit can be turned out In a niggardly manner. Money, and plenty ot It, must be thrown Into the business with a lavish hand before such pretensions can be expected Vo hold good after a trial. We know that one or two ot the canners on this rlvir are gazed at open-eyed by tlitir fellow-workers because they seem no be throwing too much capital Into the development ot their business. It seems to us, however, that thess men know perfectly well what they are doing, and that they have tore sight enough to look ahead, and pluck spough to know that the expenditure ot very additional dollar, rightly applied, means the gradual accession of a great and permanent trade. It Is another mls take for canmtrymen to Imagine that th. best class of jobbers are not 'willing and anxious to pay more for th best goods thin they ordinarily give. Jobbers who know their business are constantly on the lookout It Is as much to theli Internet as It is to th canners to bring Che public taste forfalmon up to a high rtandard. and they recognise, and cheer fully pay for, material In th prepara tion of which a packer has expended i.llllonat tlm and money. Lesson num. l,r tw-pen(i your money on your product lavishly and thoughtfully. You osti't run a Jewelry star with a stock , l three watches and a gtlt signboard. j.j i . & pprrV-t artlcl of food, It j ji.wjlut'ly nrivwmry that the salmon I-. i i , rii kt J as soon as possible after it leaves the water. If a eanner re celves at his dock on a Saturday even ing so large a quantity of flsh that it Is Impossible to take care of all of them with fhs labor and machinery at his command before Sunday, we believe that he should continue to pack them until all are disposed of. A few of the can ners have lately been in the habit of leaving flsh, unpacked all day Sunday, nnl canning them on Monday morning. Such a proceeding deserves the severest ciixure. If the question of flunday ot. servants Is brought into the balance with the far greater offense of placing on the market goods which by their condition are unlit to eat, the former argument cannot hold good for a moment. It is just as sensible to hold that an Atlantic liner should shut down In mid-ocean on the Sabbath as to claim that the business of producing food for the people should be stayed, on the same account, at the risk of giving them an article not only far from edible but dangerous to public health. It Is the duty of Chief Loughery t.o prevent any more such public parades of the demi-monde as that which took place on the streets of Astoria yester day. Bad as it is to permit these crea turcs to flaunt their trade in the pre cincts set apart by common consent for them and those who seek their assocla. tion and companionship, their confine ment there at least saves the respecta ble element, and especially the youth of the city, from the offense and contami nation of their direct presence and ex ample. To allow these women to drlv In open barouches from drinking placi to drinking place In the business quar. ter, and to even pollute the most proinl nent residence sections and school neigh. borhoode with the tinsel and manners of their vocation, Is a crime tfgalnst de cency and good morals. Yesterday was not the first time such a shameful exhl bltton has been seen in this city. It would not be tolerated in any other community in the country, and the po lice can and should And some means to prevent Its repetition. Now that he has dismissed from th government printing office a thousand or more employes simply because they were republicans, filling their places with dem ocrats who had1 been "periflclously active" for Mr. Cleveland, Public Printer Benedict shows a true type of a reformer In seeking to have civil ser vice rules made applicable to that office. This Is In line with civil service reform, of which the president stands as sponsor. Heolny. that there are nine chances out of ten that a republican administration will succeed the present one, Mr. Cleve land Is seeking the retention in office of the multitude of democratic politicians. The most striking example of ttils is the Internal revenue office. Civil service re form is an excellent thing and should be encouraged, but it Is remarkable that there Is not some better 'means of ad vancing the cause than by retaining thousands of democrats In office, the majority of whom could not pass a civil service examination. Mr. E. J. Smith has resigned the city oditorshlp of the Astorian, in order to accept a lucrative position with the Beai River Irrigation ComT&ny, at the city ot Ogden. Mr. Smith will leave this city with his family about the lGth instant, and will be followed to his new Held ot labor by the best wishes of his associates on the Aslorlan; Mr. W. C. Cowglll, late of the editorial staff of the Port land Sun, succeeds to the place mad.' vacant by Mr. Smith's retirement. France, Russia and Germany are lord ing It in the East as if they had licked China themselves. They have now no tlfled the Celestial government they do not approve of th proposed concession of a railroad right of way to an Amor loui syndicate, which offered In return to advance money to pay the Indemnity to Japan. THE FUROR OVER. Gervals Star. This state and the country at large Is changing its views on the sliver subject considerably of late. Thab misleading book issued by Coin (for coin) created a furor that was too strong to overcome, and the only thing to be done was to let it alone upon the principle "that to glv a calf plenty of rope and It will hang Itself." The people are finding out that Coin's booh g a fable, and having reaelml the end of the rope do not pro po to hung themselves, but, oro the contrary, have seen Its fallacies and have dropped It. Wefeel safe In say ing that this liisue will 'be as promptly met ut the polls and as surely defeated should the (Overlteas attempt .to put It to an issue. A LUCKY FIND. Gold Hill Miner.
