Is there any reason why patriotism, business methods and common sense fihould not govern voters In their choice of candidates at the coming election? ' Why should honest men, men successful In business, shrewd merchants, dream of placing civic power in the hands of poli ticians who use it to destroy the munici pal credit and whose sole regard is for the emoluments of the olllce they are after? What that systom comes to, logically and inevitably in our city gov ernment, we all know well. It la the source of the most foul corruption. Black mail is rooted in It. It is a system ot organized piracy. There are men run ning for office in this campaign, many on the so-called "Citizens' " ticket, one on the Republican ticket, who are the per sonllcatlon of the principle of political corruption out of which has sprung all the waste and profligacy of Astoria's past history. The time should have long gone by wh?n men of this stripe can com mand a following of any kind, let alone a respectable one. It is to the business men of the city that the Astorlan especially appeals. Give your votes only to those candidates whose qualifications can stand such a test as you would apply werejhey appli cants for employment from you porsoa sonully. If you can do that, then those iiuallllcatlons must contain three ele munis nonesty, ability ana co.i.mon surise. The men that possess those three attributes are the men to vote for. Act accordingly. Law for the sailor. It is gratifying to know that at last soma measures are In view bofure con gress for the protection ot American sail ors on board ships. While It is true tlmt the musters of ships have trouble sometimes in dealing wlih "sea luwyers" who find their way into forecastles, it is also sadly true that American masters and mutes have earned a reputation for brutality at least so wsll deserved that It is as wide us the world and sufilclently appalling to almost frighten American pallors from their ships altogether. As to the shipment of American apprentices, that is come to an end. Almost any kind of a career on shore is more piotttablo than a sea life, under the best conditions, as every American boy knows. The pe 'cullur fascination the water lias for some luds would draw them to tho ships, nevertheless, were It not perfectly well known that or.co on board they would be t tho nurcy of brutes without pity und, so f'ir as anybody knows, without re morse. The Columbia river would fur nish tho marine a goodly number of boys ouch your who would make excellent sailors, and the state of Oregon would furnish a goodly number more, did not I he boys shrink from periling life and limb doubly, as they would have to do s things are now. They refuse, properly enough, to leave the safety of the laws on shore for the lawlessness of the ocean. The muster of a ship Is a king on board, but even kings nownilays have not the power of llfo and death or at least civil ized kings have not, and the right of tho few savage ones that still have Is serious ly disputed by their more enlightened neighbors. There cun never be an Amer ican merchant marine manned by Ameri can sailors until this fact is perfectly well understood by the masters cf ships, and it will never be so understood until laws are made strong enough to reach to the deck of every ship In every port on the globe. Surely the dangers natural to the sea are grave enough without also exposing sailors to the brutal, senseless fury of masters and mates who conceive that their authority can only be enforced with belaying pins. The life of a sailor is hard enough, at the best of times, both at sea and on shore. On the one hand he Is at tho mercy of the elements, and on the other the victim of the crimps and crooks of all sorts who throng the water front to make prey of him. The "silver conference" of I'nlted States icnators called for Oil" week In Washing' ton was a fizal. Only eight senators were present. -They were Allen, Kyle, Peffer and Stewart. Populists; Tillman, Democrat; and Prltchard, Mantle and Teller, alleged Republicans; while those last named were present but a few mo ments and took uo part lu tho proceed ings. It was evident that nothing could be dune, except that Allen professed to hope thai the meeting might be the pre lude to something to be dnno in the fill ure, anil even this feeling was not shared by the rest. Peffer Is related to have openly conferred his despulr. lie said patty . tli s nro too strong to hope to organize a silver purty In the senate, and il looks us If lie linn told the truth for oneo In his life. There is every reason lo believe that the wreckers will find themselves powerless to do further h.iru.. It ought to be so, for they have done far too much harm already. They were dl iv.'tiy ami solely responsible for the drain of p'M from I hi. treasury which preclpl-j (; .,-. the lirsi panic of and for unl ;n,!..m tlhel vf fit '.r,y ?t(eM mill-! i'i lb" bund ii-Mie of last !!! S tt miry. Their dlshontuty apd malice have rust liio country billions of dollars in the invnklng down of business confidence in the Integrity of tho currency unit, their action and that of tho Democratic tariff mongers have cauBtd all tho financial and business paralysis from which the. coun try suffered during the first tn-d years c' the present administration. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, fn her new puper, tho Pacific Empire, sings: "Shall I be forgotten when I havo Mulshed Life's dlflicult lesson and closed my book? Will some one give mo a loving remem brance, As they turn over Its pages and chance to look On Its Idle pages, its pitiful scrawls and Its blots, Which mark the failures or successes I've traced ? Will all I have missed my failures alone Bo remembered or will they be completely effaced, And only my good deeds, shining out like the sun, Illumine the dark pages, and for my fail ures atone?" Among the failures of Mrs. Duniway which will be undoubtedly remembered will be her failure to write half a dozen consecutive lines of common sense, let alone poetry. Voters will do well to study carefully for a few minutes at least the new law under which Astoria will hold her city election next Wednesday. Heretofore at elections in this city It has been law and custom to scratch off or draw a pencil mark through the names of all the can didates for whom the voter did not wish to vote. The new law which is now In effect requires that tho vcler sliull make a cross or something similar In front of the name of the candldute for whom he wishes to He. The designating cross must be made to the left of the nume of tho candidate voted for, between the number and the name. C. J. Curtis makes the following wall in his weekly sheet, published yesterday: "If we can't bo friends, let us be Re publicans." But Mr. Curtis seems to forget that no body is his friend, and that he is not a Republican. He Is a political demagogue who would go back and be a Democrat or a Populist tomorrow morning If there was anything in it. Mr. Curtis says that his friends Mr. Osburn and Dr. Kinney are two of the brainiest men he has over met. Mr. Os burn says that his friends Mr. Curtis and Dr. Kinney are two of nature's noble men. These three Individuals appear to be slinging bouquets at one another and mud at everybody else. Tho Rev. Joseph Cook has broken looso again, and thcro is a rumor that Mrs. Lease is prepurlng a lecture on liberty. If Mr. Kleber Osburn Is ready, let him produce that balance sheet at once. Mr. K. Osburn announces that he has the auditor's office so fixed "that he can lay his hands on anything he wants." It's exactly what wo thought. The new poltleal sentimental song: "Take Hack the Lots That Thou Qavest," with locomotive whlstlo accompaniment. In less than a month another leap year, with Its opportunities and its perils, will dawn upon this busy world. .

In a grandmother's garden, years ago, 'Twas tho month of Juno when the roses blow, A small maid sat by a fountain side, To watch on the water tho bubble.) riu Lszy bees droned In the blossoms gay, Knowing right well where Uus money lay; While tho dear old lady herself tat n'gh, And peacefully dozed as tho hours went by. But down the sun-iliul path there htrollcd With stately step, a ptucoek bold; Ho sauntered up to the fountain's, brink, Then, leaning over, began to drink. Then grandmother heard a short, quick cry, And, turnim; to learn the reason why, There come these words In quivering - notes, "O gran'ma, he's eated my bubble-beats!" Blanche Elizabeth Wade.
