Let the property-owning voters of AS
toria and Clatsop county who propose to
go to the polls next month end vote
against John Fox, and the Republican
candidates for representatives, read and
ponder well the following extract from
yesterdays Oregonian:
do owners of property in Portland
want their property marked down in
value fifty per cent? If 50, they would
do well to elect the Populist ticket here.
A man from Boston, who Is out here
looking after investments in Oregon In
which people of Boston are interested,
said two days ago that he was not in
clined to think much of a state, or to
recommend investments in 1t. where the
governor said, in substance. to those
who form Coxey armies and their abet-
ters, that all they had to do was to sit
down idly till they got hungry and then
get up and steal anything they wanted
He would be able to Judge, he said, by
the result Of the coming election wheth-
er the people of Oregon approved that
sort of thing. He said further that east
ern people were debating whether they
would not better take whatever they
could get out Of their investments in
the Popuist states-whether 60, 40 or 30
cents on the dollar and get out. While
this course would ruin the country, yet
1t was a question whether they would
not better get what they could, make
their loss and be content to quit. This
has been going on throughout Kansas
and Nebraska for considerable time,
and the question now Is whether Ore
gon is to go through a like expert
ence. The future Of Oregon in this re-
gard depends very much on the re-
suit of the election on the 4th of June.
And Portland, as the chief business
center Of Oregon, is more interested in
the result than any other part Of the

A UNIONTOWN KICK.

The following communication has been
handed us for publication:
Astoria, Or. May 26, 1894.
Editor Astorian-
Dear Sir: AS a resident of the first
ward of Astoria, otherwise designated
as Uniontown, there are certain things
l.. in conjunction with my fellow-voters
from this ward would like to know
and we would like the council to take
knowledge of the fact that we are not
to be left In the cold any longer. The
councilmen who represent us also rep
resent the second ward, and 1t is cold
fact that the said councllmen have
never, under any circumstances, done
anything for this ward, except canvass
for our votes when they want to be
elected. Why Is 1t not possible for us
to have our own councilman to repre-
second ward? | notice that the other
wards, with fewer voters, are each
separately represented. The balance Of
the city is lighted by electricity. Are
we? No.
The balance of the city have fire
alarms, Have we? No.
Last year the Union cannery caught
fire, and il it had not been put out by
the employees the whole of Uniontown
would have gone with 1t. The engines
could not have done anything anyhow,
as II was half tide. Therefore, is It not
imperative that we have a water sup
ply in case of such an emergency?
The balance Of the city have good
streets, but when we want streets We
are compelled to build them ourselves.
VIII our representatives in the coun-
ell kindly attend to these matters. and
obllge UNIONTOWN.

cities, now before the senate, satisfies
nobody but the beneficiaries Of the re-
distribution and Grover Cleveland, who
wants "a settlement" The settlement
he wants is anything that will relieve
him from further responsibility for tar
if reform. To wind up the adventure to
which he summoned the Democracy in
