1t seems to be the general opinion,
shared in by Republican and Democrat
10 newspapers alike, that the Senate in
vestigation into the connection of the
Sugar Trust with the tariff bill is going
to be embarrassing job. The holding
of the inquiry behind closed doors GER
tainly points in that direction. The
SENATOR'S are on trial in this matter, and
if there were no basis for the charges, it
would seem that they would be only
TOO glad for the doors to be thrown open
and all the evidence given to the pub
lie. Thus their vindication if innocent
would be complete. Under the present
method of procedure it cannot be COM
plete. No matter how strongly the COM
mittee report in their favor, there will
be suspicion on the part of the public
that something has been covered up,
or that the investigation has not been
thorough. Secrecy always gives rise to
suspicion, and there should be none of
it in public Investigations unless for the
best of reasons. No reason is forthcom-
Ing for IL in Shis case.

An easier way. to get rid of the civil
service law than by Withholding an
appropriation for it's enforcement would
be to submit it as a whole to Attorney
General Olney for an opinion. Mr..
Olney's opinion in regard to the collec-

abundant reason for believing that he

Dear Astorian:-
In your yesterdays issue I find an
open letter in which a certain inhar-
monious musician or single handed
piano thumper, and one who is evil

sion, or art, finds fault, bestows spite
upon, and questions my right to con-
duct my business as 1 think proper
The Scandinavian Benevolent Society
does not require the generosity of any
one. 1 donated my band for their
pleasure, and because they are my
friends. The musicians in my company
are gentlemen, and better paid than
any musicians in the city. And further
mere, my band and company Is in AS
toria for the benefit and advancement
of the interests of Astoria, and at the
disposal of my patrons. Since my ad-
vent in Astoria l have distributed four
thousand dollars more than have
taken in, which my bank account will
show. That sum is now in Astoria,
which amounts to forty-eight thousand
dollars in business the past six months.
Now tell me, what has this self con-
stituted apostle of harmony done. Has
he tried to elevate, has he given en-
ployment to twenty-five ladies and gem
tlemen?
No; but on the other hand, he has
perverted the divine art, and disposed
of his few talents, "if there be any"
for a glass Of beer. "oh Shame Where
is thy blush?" Or has the mask of
so hidden his soul that pur-
ity and morality is but a corpse for
DAVIS to peck? In my band today !
have six local gentlemen. who
are called the best musicians Of Astoria.
1 consider it a pleasure for my band
to play at the scandinavian picnic, and
thank the committee for the
honor bestowed upon me. We are all
going, and all intend to have a good
time. Trusting that will never find

youth is pleased to call its citizens l

TO be, but everybody does not take
measures to be there. An efficient pre-
ventative places US on the safe side Of

more reliable than Hostetters Stomach

inactive, which is bue the preliminary
to various destructive maladies, which
disregarded have a fatal termination.

lnaction Of the kidneys and bladder.
They should be checked at the outset
with bitters, which will prevent their
