"Fluttering over appointments" is the
latest expression used by q democratic
congressman In describing Mr. Cleve-
lands methods of business. 1t seems
that IL the president ever had a faculty
Of doing work in steady way, he ex-
hausted 1t in writing letters during the
Harrison administration, and working
up what he called popular education to
tariff reformation. But he did not
know what the education was or what
the reform was to be- The only specific
recommendation he has made, beyond
the silver purchase repeal, was that
there should be little baby of an In
come tax on corporations something
very small. The rest Of his executive ca
pacity has been consumed in the Ha-
waiian conspiracy, which finally drew
"a very extraordinary letter from
President Dole. At last 1t has come tc
pass that he is "luttering' over ap-
pointments and driving his partIsans
to despair.

DR.. Chapman's Lecture at the Congrc
gaticnal Church


There VISA very attentive and deeply
interested audience at the Congrega-
tional church last evening to listen to
DIR. Chapman's lecture upon 'In Memo
RAM"
The striking difference between this
poem and that last considered, the
Princess" was we'll illustrated by the
difference shown In the treatment given
by the lecturer. The depth of the poem,
its profoundly phllosophic AMI religious
character, and artistic development re-
quired very earnest treatment, and Of
fered little or no opportunity for light
ness.
The thought OF the poem was ap-
preached from the principle. now recog-
nizcd by all thinkers. of continuity
that nothing is causeless. ur purpose
less This principle was recognized by
Tennyson, and the question what was
the object and purpose in the death of
his friend, which was the occasion of
the composition of the poem, returned
throughout the piece again and again.
In trying to find an answer to this
question. mad comfort for his luss, the
poet touched all The transcendent ques-
lions of life, particularly that If iulmor-
tality and upon what grounds man may
believe In future existence.
This question, ard the answer that
Tennyson finds, were followed fran
pt int to point with great clearness mad
penetration by the lecturer. and the con-
;lusion that nature. which is only a
sum Of processes and results. and
science. which Is statemeny of ma
ture's operations. can give no answer;
but that feelIng-whioh also arhlnates
in pure art-may was l9ached by a
series of clear and :araful deductions,
as the analysis OF the poem.
Certainly DR.. Chapman has given his
audiences much new insight and inter-
est in the study OF Tennyson
The lecture tonight win be upon

ITO be or not to be. is the question"
To be a railroad town, with all that
the words imply or to be dead to the
world for all future time. 10 the ques-
tion which confronts the citizens OF AS
torla today; and the results obtained
from the work of the subsidy commit
tee this week will decide the question
one way or the other. This Is the last
week, and the members of the commit
tee will be entitled to rest and we
hope success. With the outside land
very well represented by what Is al
ready in, and that which is promised,
and the inside lots which are already in
and those which must certainly be In
have subsidy that win bring us our
railroad without a doubt. Men who
heretofore have held aloof from such
work are now giving not only their
property, but are working faithfully
and earnestly for the success OF the en-
terprise. All that has been lacking in
the past was the assistance OF some Of
our oldest and most respected citizens.
We needed not only their land, but
most Of all we needed their active moral
support and assistance. We have that
now. and by Saturday the committee
hope to be able to close their work and
be ready for negotiations. The securing
of the inside lots is all that Is lacking,
and the entire work OF the committee
win be devoted to that work for the
next five days; and from the cncour-
agement already received we are as
sured OF success.
There are about four thousand lots In
Mcclurc'a, shivelys, Adair's and Alder
brook. At least three hundred OF these
should be obtained for the subsidy, and
that will be making allowances for per-
sons owning only one or two lots. those
who are ron-residents--as well as a
few-happlly very few--who viii not
give anything.
Only two men have refused to sub
scribe to the subsidy. 5, far as the COM
mlttec can learn; and to one who would
Judge Astoria today by Astoria Of the
past with all her factions and differ
ences then existing this win be pleas
ant surprise. The fact is, Astoria to-
day Is nearer harmony than It has ever
been before. and the man who attempts
to stir up the muddy pool Of factions
here again is frowned down. and let us
hope always will be.
Let every one understand that this is
the last week. and success or failure de-
pends entirely upon the result to be OBJ
tained within the next five days With

ited more than the outside. the work

THE ECLIPSE.

The sky presented a magnificent sight last night, and everybody looked heaven ward. Mars shone red and brilliant in the east, and even the full moon could not pale it's fires. Since the Chinese-J Japanese war began Mars has been shining more bril- liantly than ever. But the moon was the star attraction in the galaxy of heavenly beauties At about 9:30 o clock the earth's shadow eneroached upon the upper rim of the moon, and the shadow was preceded by dark veil. The shadow became deeper and deeper, until about one-quarter of the moon was in eclipse. The eclipse lasted about two hours, and was visible in the western hemisphere. Our evening con- temporary, which boasts of it's prognosti- cations, was wrong on this occasion. It predicted that only one-seventh of the sur face of the moon would be obscured, whereas at least one-fourth of 1t was in eclipse. Again, 1t predicted that the shadow would appear first on the north part of the moon, while it appeared on the upper part But perhaps the News made it's predictions from the standpoint of tue man in the moon.

AT SEALS HALL.
Mir. James F. and Mrs. Agnes Thom- son, Two Eminent Vocalists, Cap
 tiva5e Their Audience.

Last night at Seals' hall Mrs. Agnes and MT. J. F. Thomson, vocal artists of the first class, who are filling engagements during their vacation, gave a concert that was certainly appreciated in the highest degree by the small audience that greeted them. The Birmingham musical public who were absent from 5eals' hall last night, and who love vocal music of a su- perior quality, missed treat, for never in Birmingham was concert ever encored so much as was the one last night.
 Mrs. Agnes Thomson has beautiful, cultivated soprano voice, which has scope that simply captivates an audience. It has sympathy of expression that Is rare and the tone is rich and even. She is truly an artist. Her rendition of 10 Luce di Quest Anima" made the audience uproarously enth husiastic, and the encore, "Coming Thro' the Rye," was rendered beautifully.
 Mir. Thomson has a rich baritone voice that is powerful and resonant, and one that fills the musical ear with sweet mel- ody.
 "Toreador, 1" from the opera "Carmen," by Mir. Thomson, captivated the audi. ence. A fitting response to hearty encore was rendered, which also caught the audi ence.

MAINE AND VERMONT.

It is no more surprising that these -ttrTEc states should have gone overEhel lmin gly Republican the othes-dday than will be the great Dep9cTatic victories in Geor gla and Texas. The national Republican party pSedeo some enervatiug influence to awaken 1t from it's slumber in defeat, and called upon these two states for morsel of encouragement. The Democracy of Maine and Vermont divided as between the Cleve- land and the Senate policies was indiffer- ent and inactive. It WAS not fight against McKinleyism or a test of party strength, i, but really a contest of little moment. The New York Times comments as follows on the Maine result.
 For our own part, with entire conviction of the unftness of the Republican policy to meet the requirements of our growing and aggres- sive nation, and of the soundness of the Dem- ocratic principles and their essential adapt ability to those requirements, we must be ex- cused from feeling as desperate as our oppo- nents are elated. We have no fear that the country will go back to McKinleyism or de- mand the undolng of what has been done in tariff reform. If we had such fear we should only work more patiently and systematically to convince the people of the danger lying in that direction. But we have none. The cleo. tions in M aine and Vermont are the express sion of the feeling in thinly settled communi- ties. largely rural, as to the immediate past, which has not been cheerful or encouraging. The Republicans stuck closely to tl,eir own ticket. The Democrats were divided and showed evidence of the discontent, not to say disgust, aroused by the treachery in the Sen- ate
 T his Is particularly shown by the Populis vote, which seems to have been some four times as large as it was two years ago. No one will be silly enough to think that the Pop ulist ideas are four times as strong. Taking the Union through, they are weaker, and they are weakest where two years ago they were the strongest. In such State as Maine the Populist vote is simply a cry of discourage ment and discontent, and no trustworthy in- ference can be drawn from it. Even the same State would vote very differently two months from now, when the course of business had been determined and the voters ere think ing of Inc future, and not of the past. MT. Reed and MT. Mckinley may make the most of their victory. Its chief interest to the Democrats will be in warning them that they have hard fight ahead of them and that they must clear their ranks of traitors and then close up and put forth their whole strength.
