WHO is TO BLAME2

It is a shame and disgrace the way
the Hillside cemetery is neglected II
is said by those who have been ou'
there lately that the fence In many
places is totally gone, making 1t pub
lie pasture for all the cows and otpei
animals of the neighborhood. Costly
monuments and tombstones are made
scratching posts, and the one erected
to the memory of the late Mr. Burk
and daughter, OF Clatsop, costing over
5000, has been thrown down and badly
broken and damaged. The fence around
the beautiful lot Of John Feeley has
been torn down by animals allowed TO
range there, and the whole place has
an air of delapidation and neglect most
painful to witness Whose fault Is
this, and why is 1t not attended to?

TELEPHONE RATES TOO HIGH.

It is said that telephone rates are
being materially reduced in every town
and city of consequence in the country
they must be reduced in Astoria,
Without intending to make war upon
any corporation or corporate interest,
we can say the people are beginning
to understand that public franchises
are the property of the public, and If
they are worth money to the. holders,
the public ought to be compensated for
them in some way. Individual citizens
do not give away their property for
nothing and neither should the public
or the municipality We repeat, that
without meaning the slightest hostility
to any reputable corporation now es-
tablished, or which ought to be estab-
lished In Astoria, the rates now
charged for telephone service here are
unreasonable, considering the gains TO
the company, and 1t is to be hoped a
fair reduction will be made very short
ly, without any further notice of the
matter

HoKB SMITHS MALIaN1TY.


The Hoke Smith pension department
with malicious and contemplate In
eenuity. has discovered new way to
vent It's spite against the old soldiers
During the last week for pension pay
ments, when the old veterans, many OF
them entirely dependent upon the gov
ernment for assistance to keep them
out OF the poorhouse, sent to the
agency at Chicago for their vouchers
they were coolly informed that they
must first produce the original certifi-
cate allowing their pension before the
voucher would be paid them. II Is, OF
course, 70 be presumed the order Is a
ueneral one, and that pensioners
throughout the country have been like
wise notified.
Judging from many of Mr. Smiths
former orders, the primary purpose OF
this last order is to worry and annoy
the old soldiers and furnish an excuse
TO hold back from them, for a time at
least, the money rightfully and legally
due them Incidentally, too. the effect
OF the order win make II appear that
n vast number OF dishonest and fraud

and many thousands OF dollars saved

hating democratic press will take 1t up
and. publish the news Of the great dis
covery OF wholesale pension frauds's

after thus playing upon the credulity

ant pension list criticisers, when the
names have all been restored to the
rolls. the same papers will quietly
ignore the fact. and laugh with much
glee over the ten-strike made for the.
party in the rural deestricts." But
this is not all the deviltry OF the
scheme, for many old soldiers. suppos-
ing from the fact that their names
have so often and regularly appeared
on the rolls the necessity for substan-
tiating their claims by the original Ger.

the disintegration Of people of four hundred
million souls by the assault Of one less than
one-tenth Of that number. and upon the
ruins Of the old there will be built up a
structure more in harmony with modern

The event is but the natural result Of causes
that have operated alike wherever they have
been brought into action. 1t is the logical
outcome Of the conflict between the pro-
gressive thought and spirit Of modern civ1li-

time-worn customs. 1t is the bugle blast OF
modern ideas annihilaung the wall of ex-

The appointment of William H. Fletcher to
the southwest station went into effect yes

OF the Office by Postmaster Willet.
The Postmaster said yesterday that the ap-
plication for additional mail facilities at
Ogram's drug store on Pennsylvania avenne
and in Tennellytown would be granted at a
date as early as possible.
NJ. l. Weller, of East Washington. called to
see the postmaster yesterday aud had brief
talk with him on the subject of his recent ap-
pointment Of William NJ. Dove, from West
Washington to I'll a position in East Washing
ton. Mr.. Weller has been reported as saying
that Mr.. Dove is from Georgetown which
statement the postmaster corrected as Mr.
Dove resids at No. 1910 G street, northwest
Washington.
Mr.. Weller stated the grounds on which he
objected TO the appointment of Mr.. Dove and
asked the postmaster what he was going to do
about it, to which the postmaster replied:
Nothing"
The matter of Mr.. Weller's protest is to be
discussed at the next meeting of the East
Washington Citizens Association.
