Representative Lowell has introduced
a bill in the lower house of the legis-
lature to provide for the creation of a
bonded Indebtedness of s1,1OO,00O for
the purpose of funding the outstanding
obligations of the state. A similar
measure was before the people at the
late election, but it was voted down be-
cause the amount called for was gene
rally conceded to be about $4,000 in
excess of the states Indebtedness. Mr..
Lowell is chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the house and his investiga-
tions in this department has shown
that the states outstanding obligations
foot up 81, 100000 and his bill calls for
bonds for that amount. The bill is a
meritorious one and it will undoubtedly
pass in both houses.

Congress has been the scene of two
very exciting and sensational episodes
during the past two weeks. The first
was when Congressman Sibley (Dem. J
of Pennsylvania, in the course of a
speech on the currency bill, denounced
the president as the wrecker of the
Democratic party, and the next is mar
rated in Mondays dispatches from
Washington detailing particulars of a
scene" between Senators German and
Hill wherein they scored each other
roundly. Mr.. German declared that
the present tariff was a failure as a
revenue-producer and accused Senator
Hill of standing in the way of legisla-
tion that would bring in revenue suf-
ficient to carry On the government. Mr.
Hill replied in kind, and the Republi-
cans enjoyed the whole affair and ex-
tracted much comfort out of it.

IncOmpleteness

TnCOmp1ettneSS
No Joy is in itself complete,
But from the past or future borrows;
No day is altogether sweet
Otis made up both of joys and sorrows.
No flower blooms for sell alone,
No wave but has another near it,
And echo but repeats the tone
That some listening car may hear 1t.
Like circles made by ripping waves,
The limits of our lives are rounded
BY the heartbeats OF those we 1--we
Our happiness on theirs is found ed.

Who made it knows It's incompleteness,
Till Love rounds OUT the perfect whole
And fills it full of strength and sweet

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

Astoria, Aug. "a, 1895.
Editor Astorian:-
Permit me to suggest that 1t would be
q splendid idea for the citizens of Asto-
ria to organize themselves into per-
manent regatta society, adopt bylaws
making it obligatory upon every member
to pay monthly dues, about as follows:
Members of Glass A, those who receive
the greatest benefit, to pay $3.50 monthly
Glass B, those whose actual benefits
are limited, $l.OO per month; Glass &,
citizens who receive no benefit( but who
are possessed Of local pride, soc per
month; in that way, the executive COM
mittee would not find 1t necessary to
spend week or two in canvassing the
town and 1t would be so much easier
for everybody to pay in small install
ments.
In view of their efficient and successful
efforts, 1t would seem proper to make
Jne temporary officers and executive COM
mittee permanent officers who could meet
say once month to receive suggestions
and perform such other business as they
may find necessary, resulting in mature
well developed celebration.
Very Respectfully,
HERMAN WISE.
