Five years ago, as was statfd openly and frankly at the Republican mass meet ing on Baturliy night, there was In this city a small clique of corrupt Republican politicians who ran the city offices and who ruled everything and everybody with en Iron hand. Four years ago the great masof the Republican party In Astoria got tired of It. They organized -organized in a legitimate and honorable mnn 'ner to kill off the stigma still attaching to the name of the party. Why did they do it? It was not merely to depose from power one man or set of men on merely personal grounds. Why was the control of these men so offensive to every honest oter in the city? Just for this: These harks had for years used the machinery cf the Republican party not only for self aggrandizement, but for tho perpetua tion of misrule. This statement Is not a bit too broad. No one who is at all fa miliar with .Inside political history In As toria needs to be reminded that year after year these people, as the self-con stituted leaders of tho Republican paitjtr controlling ltr action through their com mand cf the sources of power at the pri maries and In conventions, wero able, upon any occasion when they deemed it necessary, to advance all kinds ot schemes, and to till places and positions with their chosen favorites. The voters of this town, Republicans and Democrats alike, had fully made up their minds to make an end of this mis government. It was not so much a mat' tcr of politics with them as it was of self- prcsurvatlon, of redemption from a reign of terror In the police department, of filth and jobbery In the street department, of foulness In the municipal court, and ot rottenness In all. They were very much in earnest about It and they won the fight. But two years later the Repub lican element of this reform organization began to pull up and wonder where the "reformation" had landed them. They saw a Democratic mayor in office, a Democratic city auditor, a Democratic city attorney, a Democratic street super intendent and a Democratic police com mission. It . was all chance of course, but they couldn't help thinking that the "chance" was a strange coincidence. They began to wonder through what Influence this singular and Incongruous state of af fairs had been brought about. And they were not long In reaching a conclusion. The Democrats, taking advantage of the public spirited and honorable action ot the large body of Republican voters, had delllieralely planned the scheme of put ting themselves In power, and, under tho shelter of the reform cry, were gradually (with the assistance of their political op ponents) forming as dangerous and as rotten a ring as had ever existed In tho city. What were the Republicans to doT There was only one course loft open for them, and that Is the course they are pursuing now. The "Citizens' " party Is today a farce. It is a low and con temptible fake worked by a few played- out Democratic office seekers and office holders, and It has run its course. The Republican party, rejuvenated, hon est and strong In Us determination, un dertook to put an end to the farce, and with clean hands and a clear conscience determined lo make a stand agulnat the Democrats, and all their belongings and affiliations. Upon that Impulse, with a public proclamation of its purpose to make a great and determined effort to reform the tnunMjnl government, and an invitation to all citizens who desired that (itiusutnmaUon to unite with it In the en deavor, the parly started the present cru adc which, on the 11th of December, will throw out the offenders and redeem this rltig-rultd town.

I WOMAN" S TP.VE PLACE Fill a woman's head with all Lie bonk learning to be had in universities; majee her fingers nimble on tho piano, her feet on the dancing Uoor; train her in the gymnasium; let her row, skate, drive, ride, paint, sing; and lfshe cannot rook, sew, darn, patch, she is not lit to marry. She ought to abdicate her woman's place In the family. Its happiness Is far less dependent on fine arts than on the proper kneading and thorough baking of the bread; one Ill-mended hole In a stocking Is a greater drawback to domestic bliss than total Ignorance of quadratic equa tions, and a well-brolled steak contributes more materially to heavenly ways in hus bands and fathers than skill in Sanskrit roots or grace in the newest glldo. No class of people know these things to be true better than Intelligent women. They also know that If they spent more time cultivating household accomplish ments and less In "culture," their lives would be better spent and their peace more secure. For if a woman gain all the parliamentary knowledge in Roberts and he able to take a ship's log but is un able to "keep house," she knows better than any one else that her life Is a com bination of farce and failure, These are old-fashioned Ideas In a time of new fashions In women's ways. The home,, nevertheless, is the base of wom an's happiness and man's, no matter how ideas come or go, and the simple and plain things of home-making and hon.e keeping will continue to be paramount, no matter how other things In society may fluctuate. The little howlers among the country press of this state still continue to lm pudently declare that there has been an "outlawry of silver." What do they mean by it? There is today in tho United States more silver money than gold money, and every one of the silver dollar. Is a legal tender for the payment of debts, both those due to tho govern ment and to Individuals. The silver dollars are so plentiful that many millions of them are locked up In the national treasury because the people do not wnnt to handle them in circulation, and every one of those dollars is maintained by law at a purchasing power double the Intrln sic value of the coin. There is thrice as much legal tender silver money In the United States' today as there was before the "crime of 1873" was committed. There Is not much "outlawry of silver" under such conditions, and no one who Is not either a knave or a fool would commit himself to the assertion that silver Is out lawed in the United States.

What with the Democrats who have be come Republicans, the Democrats who have turned "Citizen," and the Demociats who are preparing to move their tents and belongings to Flavcl, Astoria will soon have to get along without the as sistance and advice of any remnants of the old Jacksonlan stock. The gossips still Insist that Sjr.ator Hill is making arrangements to marry. Ills wandering about the country talk ing ubout personal liberty should be re garded merely as a sort of farewell spree. Borne of these days Ambassador Bayard will have nothing on account of the United States to apologize for, and he will then have a chance to make an apology for himself.

FICTION. a Mother and That truth Is Btranger than fiction Is exemplified almost dally. The latest In' stance la here related. Mr. Morris II flplllard, one of Cincinnati's best-known citizens, has a son. L. N.. In San Mnrta, department of Magdalcna, Columbia, South America. The young man has been tn business there for some years and Is doing well. In a recent letter to bis father young Splllard In a postscript re marks: "I shall now recount to you a 'act that Is stranger than fiction." He then noes on to stato that he was In the sitting room of a hotel In San Marta rt cently and witnessed the occurrence he details. Throe general officers of tho Columbian army, then on a tour of In pectlo.i, were ulso In the hotel silling room. Boon a poor woman came Into the apartment asking for alms. Her condi tion was most pitiable, and to add to her art condition her head was bound tin, hiding a ranor on her forehead. She approached the three officers and bepged sld. Two of the officers gave her ! cents each. The third ons hand-d hor 11. Encuiirigcd by the munificence of the bequest she respectfully requested tho names of her benefactors. The one who pave her tl said his name was General Ellas Hodrlcjuez. Bald the poor old men dicant: a "I had a son of that name, and If he Is alive he Is about your age." This statement Interested th officer, and after a lengthy conversation, in which the hi-ggnr woman recounted her history, It was ascertained that General Rodrl ques had given alma to his own mother. In brief, the general at once took her in charge, provided liberally for her, and "he Is now the happv and respected guest of honor In his own house. This story Is literally true, and young Spl'lard by chance was a witness to this strange and romantic meeting of a mother and son. Coughing lirltatcs the delicate organs and airvravates th dl-eato.

They are fur uit hed with modern conveniences, sup plied with pure artesian water, and so situated as to gove occupants all the advantages to be derived from a more or less protracted residence in this de lightful climate. (From the San Francisco Argonaut.) "In the heart of the great desert ot the Colorado which the Southern Pa- cifio road traverses there is an oasis called Indio, which, in our opinion, if the sanitarium of the earth. We be lieve, from personal investigation, that for certain invalids, the-e is no spot o this planet so favorable." G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "Tb-: purity of the air, and the eternal sun shine, fill one with wonder and delight. Nature has accomplished sc much that there remains but little for man to do. As to its possibilities a. a health resort, here is the most per fect sunshine, with a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil for rain Is an unknown factor: pure oxygen, denpa atmosphere and pure water. What more can be desired T It is the place, above all others, for lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu matics. Considering the number of sufferers who have been curpd, I havr no hesitancy in recommending this genial oasis aa the haven of the afflict ed."
