THE COMING QUESTION,

Next to the tariff the most important
question awaiting discussion and settle
ment Is the adoption OF some definite
national policy of immigration. The
subject is attracting much attention In
certain quarters in the East, and may
be expected to become an issue on the
Pacific Coast in the near future, The
party first to take up the question In a
practical way is certain of a large and
influential following throughout the
country. Americanism, In It's broadest
sense, must dominate the successful
policy--the Americanlsm which doesn't
ask where q man is born so much as
what are his conduct and capabilities.
There are many born under this flag
who are foreign TO the Institutions and
principles II covers, while many born
abroad are amsng its noblest and best
defenders The class to which these
latter belong should always find a
welcome. They will be the first to
draw the line against the lawless. the
vicious. and the depnved which have
for years been floating to these shores.
The liberties and eQualltles Of this
country must be reserved for those
only who show due appreciation of
them.
The task Of educating into good citi-
gems the native-born population is
large one Republican Institutions rest
upon the intelligence Of the masses; and
there is reason to fear the standard
has been OF late years steadily down
ward, Notwithstanding the enormous
spread Of the free-school system. The
country has not assimllated all the raw
material coming this way. A barrier
must be set up against the tide OF
immigration which can be only crossed
by those who are physically, morally.
and Intellectually capable OF under
standing, defending and maintaining
the highest ideal Of republican govern
ment.

THE WATER QUESTION.
An Inquisitive Housekeeper Desires
Certain Information.


The member of the afflicted slsterhood
whose letter will be found below, asks
information simply; but in her questions
appear also an intimation Of what the
trouble is, with a faint suggestion OF
the appropriate remedy. Our sister
talks about wheels that won't go round.
Now, IL she were referring to anything
about printing office, The Historian
would feel no delicacy in expressing an
opinion as to how the difficulty might
be overcome. In an Office Of that kind,
when the wheels in any given comhina
ticn refuse to move-a press, for in
stance-it is usual to throw out the Of
Tending machine and put a new one in.
The letter is as follows:
Editor Astorian:
Seeing that you have given place to
two articles from sister housekeepers,
and having endured in silence. what l
thought was beyond remedy at least
so long as the present board of water

will also give place to a few questions
from me. Mr.. Smith, manager Of the
water company, tells US in this morn
ing's CWednesday's) issue Of your paper
that the pipes ore very 'frail and liable
to serious breaks" Dare l suggest (9
that the taxpayers money was not
given to be continually repairing. old
pipes, but to put in new pipes, new OUT
fit all along the line, or new system
entirely. Is 1t impossible to do this? Is
there no other system by which Astoria
could be supplied with an abundance of
good, clean, understanding water? II
SO, what is the reason 1t is not done?
The newest expression to condone the
mistakes of an incompetent business
man is that the business wheels in his
head won't work. A pertinent question
would be, what is the matter with the
water wheels in the commissioners
heads?
Respectfully,
INOUISITIVE HOUSEKEEPER.
