The position of mayor of our city gov ernment Is one that carries with It re sponsibilities which are not all summed up in the two words "cigars" and "pat ronage." It is a position that calls for diligent atetntlon to duty, unbiased acts, and careful policy. The mayor should be a man of sound principles, whose per sonality 13 such that he can be respected; who, knowing the dignity that attaches to his office, is prepared under all cir cumstances to act both In public and pri vate life so that that dignity shall be fully sustained. The candidates for this position in the present campaign are Mr. Frank J. Tay lor and Dr. Alfred Kinney, tho latter being the present incumbent, who asks for re-election. It Is not In the province of the Astorlan to attack the private life of any man, whether he Is a public offi cial or not. But public acts, performed while in the exercise of a public duty, are proper subjects for argument and dis cussion. Mayor Kinney has made a rec ord for himself since ho went into office, a record wo are sorry to say full of In excusable and undignified performances. What has been tho policy of the mayor during the last two years? He lius had no policy save that of personal Interest. What influence has he had on municipal affairs? We will leave it to the public to decide. What sort of an example has he set to the young citizens of Astoria; to self-rejpecting people? i If. Dr. Kinney's sense of propriety had not been blunted by his unfortunate asso ciations of lata years, lie would never have so poorly guaged the feelings of the public as to appear before them a second time and ask for their support. Ills rec ord does not entitle him to further con sideration at the hands of tho people. Dr. Kinney would have been a wiser and a better man today had he avoided polit ical affiliations of any character. Frank J. Taylor, the Republican candi date, Is an honorable and respected cltl sen, He is a dignified man, and an at torney well known by members of the profession throughout Oregon as thor ough, careful, and conscientious. His ac quaintance with public affairs Is exten sive and he Is one of Astoria's oldest and most respected citizens. Though a con sistent and vigorous Republican, members of all parties will testify that Mr. Taylor In every public trust that has bcon re posed In him, has time and again proved his Impartiality. Who that has tho Interests of the city at heart can hesitate In his choice be tween these two candidates? DUMAS. THE YOUNGER. Our telegraphic dispatches yesterday contained tho brief statement from Pari, "Alexander Dumas Is dead." Widely renowned as was his name, the world will be very little the worse for his loss, for he wns one of those writers whose works tended to drag down, always down, and who pandered to the lowest ot human pdsslons. The elder Dumas over flowed with genius; he possessed In tho - hlghcft degree tho dramatic Instinct; ho was a thorough master of language; he could paint with his pen us Turner paint ed with his bruBh; he was kindly, gen erous, open-handed, sympathetic. The man- who has Just died had none of these redeeming qualities. His books pre the best proof one could find to demonstrate tho demoraliza tion of the age. He discovered In eaiiy youth that the French public are Imbued with a morbid appetite for salacious reading. To that appetite lie cater.d, first In the "Dame aux Camellas," then In a series of plays, of which the "Demi Monde" Is perhaps the best known. His field of observation was the gutter; his characters were the vermin and the mi crobes which are generated by putrefao. Hon. Ills philosophy may be summed up In the phrase that munklnd is rotten and that the rottenness Is incurable. The lesson taught by the Lady of tho Camel las U that young men Bhould continue through life to practice the Irregularities ot conduct which are common In youth, and parents who try to reclaim them are hard-hearted, unreasonable and block heads. Ro coupled with his moral Infirmity a brilliancy of wit, a witchery of style and a dramatic instinct which not only se cured wide popularity for his own works but started a host of less glftm wrU.,.,J to Imitate them. To him, more than any other composer of fiction, la due the present degraded condition of French lit erature. He was far more mUchevlou than the licentious writers, the grossnet of whose pictures shocks the refined rtad er; he philosophized over vice and made 1t clear that it was Inevitable, and the normal result of Irresistible causes. Not that he deliberately Bet himself the tntk of depraving his countrymen, lie hud but one aim In life money; he wrote that which In his judgment would produce the most money. Nor was he reluotant to accept money from those who could affordS to purchase venal pens. After the Franoo-Germnn war he nan- dered to (he eethlngr rnm-or of his coun- ! trymen by refusing to permit his pieces j to be produced bit tha Berlin stage; which elicited from a German editor the falling retort that Germans might dispense with his plays when thoy realized that tho easy conquest of France by the Gorman srmiee was probably mainly caused by the enervation of Fronch virility by those very plays. And that was true. Dumas die younger, dead, cannot bo much re gretted, for his Imprint on the times has been that of a literary libertine. The Republican candidate for city audi tor and police Judge, Mr. Henry Nel son, is a unique figure In the present political campaign. He has lived here for over twenty years, and during every day of that time has earned and held the friendship of all tho people he has come into contact with. He Is not a politician, Outside of being a staunch and earnest Republican on all occasions, he has se.dom meddled with public affairs or public office. The present nomination, tendered to him without opposition, came as a voluntary tribute to his worth and ability. He will run on his reputation, and he will be elected without the necessity of truckling to low political bosses or de meaning his high standing In the com munlty. Contrast a figure like this with his op ponent, a man elected two years ago on the "Citizens' " ticket that holy organi zation of pious schemers a man with a pereptual Itch for office, and a profes sional seeker after public favor. Mr. K. Osburn, as auditor, has been a rank and hollow failure. Mr. K. Osburn will, after the 11th of December, be able to moralize In private life on the Instability of a position secured by shallow promises, and bolstered up by unavailable efforts to hide from the people's gaze his utter in competency. From the public crib, he feeds to the amount of $125 per month. Relegate him to private life and a stipend of $30 or less, would meet his value, If It did not come up to meeting his requarements. Certain contemporaries are much exer cised over General Miles' suggestion that $125,000,000, more or less, may be Judicious ly expended on coast and harbor defenses. One journal fears that such an expendi ture will bo exasperate the people that a large standing army will be needed to maintain order. The amount that would be needed to put our coast and harbor in a complete state of defense, the con struction of gun plants, warships, and to maintain soldiers and sailors to make them efficient, Is large. But the ex penditure would give us security and would stimulate tho nation's Inventive genius. Ten years ago the United States could not build a first-class war ship. Now we build the best that float. We had to send to England for our first plans, but we can now devise better plans of our own. It Is only quite recently that we could cast big guns or fashion the armor for Bhlps. Now we export both guns and armor. If the theories of those peace-at-any-prlce advocates hud prevailed we would not now have an efficient ship In our navy. The Fifty-fourth congress will contain an unusually large proportion of men who have never had any congressional exper! ence. Out of the 358 members, 1G7 are new men, or almost 47 per cent of the total membership. This circumstance will add to the difficulty of making up the committees In a satisfactory way, and would be likely to cause serious embar rassment If there were a contest over the speakership and that question were not decided until the eve of the opening dl tho session. But to all Intents and pur poses the speakership was settled a year ago, and Mr. Reed has had plenty ot time to gain Information regarding the now members that will aid him In as signing them to places, Nevertheless, the task of arranging the committees for the coming congress will be one of no little difficulty. In presenting to Mr. O. B. Hegardt yes terday u handsome and costly testimonial, the people of Astoria showed their thoughtfulness and appreciation of a gov ernment official whose dealings with our citizens have been invariably courteous. Mr. Hegardt, as resident engineer at the government Jetty, has done splendid work and it Is pleasing to know that his faithful services, no less than his uni form kindness to everybody, are recog nized and acknowledged by all. It Is peculiar how some people have a predilection for A's. First It was AlblnA, then, w hen that got too warm, It changed to AstorlA. The way things are shaping now, .It looks as If the ex-correspondent of tho Portland Mercury will have to chuuge lib residence to AfrlcA. Our telegrams this morning say that Dick HInnd found one seat engaged for his silver lecture In Savannah yesterday. Nothing can ever make us believe that lie didn't engage It himself. There are at least six good reasons why the corrupt and dishonored "Citizens' " party should be thrown out for all time. Then Mayor Kinney he makes the seventh good reason. ! . 1 . . .11 NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES.

The United States steamship Minneapo lis has been ordered to join the European squadron Immediately. She Is In Ameri can waters now, and It will take several days to fit her out. The secretary of the Intfrlor Issued a ronulsltinn on the trnnmirv x'pstprilnv fnr $10,850,000 for the quarterly pension pay ment.

The navy department officials state that the changes proposed In the Texas, Involving the removal of hydraulic pumps from their present position to the armor redoubt, will not be considered until a more thorough and careful test of the present machinery under the best possi ble conditions have been made. Although the slate department absolute ly refuses to confirm or deny a report that tho French government has declined to furnish the record In the Waller case, some difficulties. It Is known, htve been encountered In procuring this Indlsnensa Me document. Just what the nature of the trouble Is cannot be learned, but It Is understood that the application for the record Is not regarded by the French gov ernment as a matter of right In the I lilted States, and It Is assumed that If our anplk-atlon ink more the Bhape of a request than a demand, the necessary documents may be forthcoming.
