A PLAIN BUSINESS QUESTION.
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

organize a silver purty In the senate, and

lo believe that the wreckers will find
themselves powerless to do further h.iru..

too much harm already. They were dl

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

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

A small maid sat by a fountain side,
To watch on the water tho bubble.) riu

Knowing right well where Uus money lay;
While tho dear old lady herself tat n'gh,
And peacefully dozed as tho hours

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

And, turnim; to learn the reason why,
There come these words In quivering

"O gran'ma, he's eated my bubble-beats!"

The objections urged against Indio
In the past by the large numbers who

been a lack of suitable accommoda

at reasonable rates. They are fur
nished with modern conveniences, bud-
plied with pure arteslaa water, and so
situated as to gove occupants all the
advantages to be derived from a more
r less protracted residence In this de
llghtful climate.
(From the San Francisco Argonaut.)
"In the heart of the great desert of
the Colorado which the Southern Pa
oific road traverses there is an oasis
called Indio, which, In our opinion, li
the sanitarium of the earth. We be
lleve, from personal Investigation, thai
for certain invalids, the-e is no spot o
this planet so favorable.
G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "Tn
purity of the air, and the eternal sun
shine, fill one with wonder and delight
Nature has accomplished sr
much that there remains but little for
man to do. As to its possibilities as 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, dense atmosphere and pure
water. What more can be desired?
It is the place, above all others, for
lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu
matlcs. Considering the number of
sufferers who have been cured. I hav
no hesitancy in recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict
ed."
