The attention Of the city council has
teen repeatedly called to the import
ance Of adopting and enforcing some
stringent form Of regulation respecting
the custom so prevalent Of holding
semi-publIc meetings and giving
crowded entertainments in the various
fraternaI and private halls Of Astoria.
Since the frightful disaster at Sill
yer Lake some weeks ago, public at
tention nearly everywhere has been
aroused to the danger of permitting
large assemblages of people in places of
entertainment unprovided with proper
means OF escape in case of fire, and the
calamity which overlook this little Ore
gon hamlet has possibly been the means
Of saving valuable lives in some of
the proudest and greatest OF the earth's
places. But here in Astoria not the
slightest impression seems to have been
made by the terrible warning, and our
people continue to take risks that
should cause the whole community to
shudder. On last Wednesday evening
nearly five hundred people. principally
women and children. were allowed to
assemble in a room not intended, and
wholly unadapted for the accommoda-
tion Of large crowds. A long and mar
row, third-story room, with but one en-
trance. and that at one OF the far ends,
one stairway. and unprovided with any
means Of fighting fire or any escape
whatever. The mere suggestion Of
what might have happened In case
there had been even a false alarm Of
fire, is enough to make those who were
there yet feel nervous A panic once
started would have inevitably caused
the loss of many lives, and an actua
fire would have resulted In the sacrifice
Of three-fourths OF oil present. It ID
folly to say people ought to have sense
enough to stay away from such places
they win so, and will crowd themselves
almost to suffocation for the sake Of
being there Such, indeed is the per-
versness and reclslessness of people
seeking pleasure. that II is said there
were those present at the gathering
alluded TO who got indignant and al
most impollte in the warmth Of their
remonstrances at the efforts Of Chief
Foster to keep at least the aisles
cleared OF chairs, Now that the only
building in Astoria at all suitable for
giving entertainments of any size has
passed into other uses, It is probable
the tendency to overcrowd other halls
win be more frequent than ever, and
It is the duty OF our local law makers
to take prompt and vigorous steps to
prevent the happening Of some accident
that may bring regret and mourning
to many happy homes throughout th'
city.

There Is no better illustration Of the
benefits resulting from the progress
thus far made In civil service reform
than in the marked Improvement Of
the postal service since the civil SER
vice rules have been applied to the
subordinate branches OF the service,
All the postmastera have become con-
verts to It. But these rules do not pre-
vent the removal OF the most faithful
and competent employees whenever the
head Of the department wants to fnd
places for his friends. There Is bill
before congress which prohibits the re-
moval OF any postofiice clerk, letter
cairler or railway postal clerk, excep
for crime. until after written charges
have been preferred against him and
properly examined into, although h
may be suspended meanwhile. II Is L
be hoped this bin win pass. There h
no more meritorious class OF govern
ment employees than those mentioned
Their work Is hard; their pay small
They are intelligent and faithful Theii
duties are purely non-politlcal. There
Is no reason why they should be sub
