The natural Impulse of even intelligent citizens when a public Journal Is misled Into the commission of a wrong, Is to declaim against the general licentious ness of the public press, and In this the greatest Injustice is done to all reputable newspapers. People speak of the licen tiousness of the press from what they sen In Its columns, but they do not speak, because they do not know, of the vastly greater amount of sensational articles founded on truth, which might be pub lished with entire Justice to the Impli cated parties, but which are dally sup pressed by editors, solely because such publications would wantonly wound Inno cent parties and at times overthrow credit. There is not a day In the week that the men responsible for the opinions of clean newspapers are not compelled to consider the question of publishing Or suppressing facts which are entirely proper for public Information, but which, If printed, would do greater harm to the Innocent than good to the public. Of this Important duty of editors the public have little knowledge, and, being unknown, It Is thoughtlessly assumed that the great aim of every enterprising newspaper man is to fling sensutions be fore tho public regardless of their truth, when In point of fact they suppress vastly more than they print. There are dozens of highly reputable citizens of Astoria and of every community In the whole country, who could feelingly testify to the Integrity with which honest editors sac rifice important and legitimate news In the Interest of the peace of homes and the safety and credit of individuals and Insti tutions. Let those who assail the licen tiousness of the press take pause to In quire Into the alms and methods of true American Journalism. . If they shall do so, there would be a more Just Judgment of the generous fidelity of editors to the hlghost Interests of the community. With the low and filthy press of the country It Is different. For that kind of licentiousness there Is only one remedy. Let it alone. If people would not sup port vile publications, those publications would not exist. WHAT THEY BHOULD DO. Now that congress Is well undei way with Its work there are two subjects of paramount Importance which demand prompt attention. One of them Is the serious deficiency of revenue. The lust congress thought It had provided enough.' But one of the measures It re lied upon was the lnoome tax, which would have yielded fifty or sixty millions. Hut the courts held that the bill was plainly constitutional, as the Republicans In congress had oontanded It was, and as most intelligent ' Democrats believed It was. It was passed In form to please Populists and Democrats of socialistic sympathies regardless of the constitution, The result Is there Is a lack of revenue, and unless congress acts It will be nooes sury for the president to sell more bonds for gold, and thus swell the national debt to keep the government going, and to re deem demand notes. It Is not best for Republicans In congress to refuse to help provide necessary revenue on account of tho Democratic lilunder of the last con gress In regard to their unconstitutional Income tax. Tharo will be time enough for that during next year's campaign. At present both parties should co-operate In stopping the deficiency leak. Tho country does not want them to ncgloci that duty and spend their time In making platforms and records for next year's political campaign. The house is Republican, the senate un certain, nnd the president a Democrat. Neither side can run things exactly to suit Itself. The Republicans must wait till March 4, before they can get a president of their own. Therefore the best ilnn to raise more revenue Is one on which both Republicans and Democrats run compromise, Jt la neeosnary also for congress to do sumethlnjr to put an end to thut vicious system which has thrown on the treasury the duly of supplying tho demand of Merchants, bankers, brokers, Importers, and all other for gold. The dangers of having to redeem notes In gold and then reissuing them, then aguln redeem them, uml attain and again, thus keeping the treasury water gettliiK holler and hotter in the Henhllng decree and necessitating )i , ivy mill frequent bond sales to main tain the parity of the currency, with a si-mliiy growing rinncw of bringing on another by the public appn hension of the , ,.i , ,.,,..,.( i, jnuMUty to withstand a run f ir .-oM, have htuc.vn themselves with painful plainness. Congress should 1 . r : , ! -1 1 .rt boms ht and devise the best remedy for the diietnma In which It Is I I'-lrnj Itself placed.

But these two subjects should bo approached In a non-partisan spirit. The Republicans should not be uncompromising because IhW hatfe tiuf house, or the Democrats Weauss thsy fcav tho Wilts House They must look first after the interests of their country- Tecple along tho water front arc again complaining about the lnefticlerjt service i rendered to the public by the operator at Fort Ca'iby. For tho past two djiys he has reported the mouth of the river "rough," when In reality It has been smooth. Pilot Mathews, wlro took the Albert Rlckmers out yesterday morning, exepcting to find a rough bar according to the bulletins, discovered a much better condition of things, and Pilot Cordiner, who took a vessel out on Tuesday, met with the same experience. If the weather service bulletins are to be of any use whatever, they should be accurate. Ves sels are being continually reported with the wrong kind of rig, to the annoyance of a large number of people who are ex pecting arrivals, and In many ways the telegrams are far from correct. These complaints are not new. The officials In authority over this particular branch of the service should take steps to see that there Is no necessity for any more grumbling. When Mr. Eakln was Republican can didate for city attorney two years ago, C. J. Curtis went out on the streets after the nomination was made and tiecbtred that he would beat the party nominee It he had to work night and day to do It. The Republicans of Astoria remember it. They never had a better chance than now to -kill off this vile Incubus that has been hanging round the neck of the party for years. If he be defeated in the present campaign, and thrown down with his shameful record on top of him, one of the dirtiest figures In Astoria's political history will vanish from the field forever. Republicans, honest men of all parti as, Isn't It time that some kind of manhocd asserted Itself to deal this disgraced office seeker a parting kick? Mr. Oeorge Johnson hi In his office the following sealed diploma from the judges of the superior courts of the state of Vlr glnia a commonwealth which guards, more zealously than perhaps any other In the Union, Its privileges of this char acter: "Commonwealth of Virginia, to-wlt Whereas, Gee-no Johnson has exhibited to ns a certificate from tho county court of Rockbridge county, agreeably to an act of the general assembly In such cases made and provided, nnd we, judges of the circuit superior courts, having examined him touching; his capacity for practicing law, find him duly qualified. These are therefore to license the said George John- s(n to practice law In the superior and Inferior courts of the commonwealth." Mr. Kleber Osburn and Mr. C. J. Curtis, of the firm of Osburn, Curtis & Co. (Un limited), are running short of the sinews of war. Intending subscribers to the funds of this corporation should come to the front at once. Certified checks on the Astoria Savings Bank, cash and rt.il road laborers' time checks gladly accept ed. City warrants not taken under any circumstances excepting at discounts named by Mr. Osburn. "Judge" Osburn rises to remark that he "don't expect to get the votes of vags and loafers." Mr. Osburn Is very modest. Let us suggest that ho strike a trial balance sheet (that Is If he known what a trial balance means) and put his "cxpecta- Hons" on one side and his "fears" on the other. The result may be alarming, but H will In some degree prepare him for tho shock he will experience on the 11th. '" Your kind attention for one more mo mcnt, Mr. Curtis. What have you done with that Democratic rooster you wore In your hat during the first Cleveland campaign in this city? Where have you stowed the transparency that you carried along on your shoulder and flaunted In the faces of the Republican at that time? The following tolegram was rocelvod yesetrday from New York by Mayor Kinney: "Sorry can't come. Missed the train. If you want any election expenses, go to your uncle. Don't draw on mo. I am busted.

Mrs. Burton Klngsland Offer Borne Prac tical Suggestions. "Suggestions for Christmas Gifts" Is a timely, useful artlclo by Mrs. Burton Klngsland. "For a young lady," Mm. Klngsland says, "the choice of gifts Is practically unlimited. Her dressing table accessories offer a large field for selection In articles of Dresden china. stiver, ivjry ana lortolseshell.

Tho seasons of wcddlnns, says a New York paper, taxes the Ingenutly, no less than the purses, of fashionable devoiocij. The deceptions to which so many of the fo-called upp-r crust resort to diacharrro social obligations are almost Incredible to old fogies not in the swim. It has long been the accepted custom of brides who receive mary dulplcate presents to ex change the same at the stores where they were purchased. When the articles have not been narked or defaced in any manner merchants, n a rule, are very willing; to make satisfactory chances. A volume might be written on the reve lations that this custom has often brought about. It has been the un guessed cause of more than one soo'al sensation. Less than a year ago a fash ionable bride of Cothnm received a gor geously showy gift in repousse B'lver 'rom an old school girl friend. da"ebler of a muItl-mllllonalre. The present was displayed In a beautiful box bearing the "tamp of a famous house, and attruotrd unusual attention from the guets. Sev eral months after the wedding the bride, in an unlucky moment, took this appar ently gorgeous gift, to-eth-r w't -t'"r, 'o exchange for articles for which she had more immediate need. When the selections she made were delivered ut her residence she was surprised to (Ind the repousse silver. A note from the ili-n stated that the silver had not been pur chased at their store. It wai iiMril goods. They added, however, that they had detected the trade mark of a firm In the- Bowery. If mndam desired they would furnish the address. A visit to he Itowery Jeweler confirmed this acser. tlon, and tho Indignant bride bided her time. In a short time the giver c,t the spurious silver was wedded. The most striking gift she received was a familiar box, In which reposed the unlucky p:roe or repousse sliver. It bore no rump: It was not exhibited. No comment was ever made by either party. To all out ward appearance tho social intimacy is unruffled. A NORTHERN OUTRAOI2. "What Impressed you as the most re markable thing you snw while on your trip through the South?"
