The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-12-08

The Astorian has frequently warned
its readers that, like the bridegroom in
the parable, the long-expected railroad
would one day reach Astoria and find
its citizens not ready. How that predic-
tion has already been partially verified
Is pointed out by g correspondent in
another column. We have a railroad
with daily train service. but passen-
gers and freight have to be uncererno-
niously dumped on the right Of way,
without any shelter from the driving
rainstorms of a winter season. because
no way has been provided TO reach
the companys' splendid new depot from
any of the city's streets except by
steamer. 1t is pretty hard TO find an
excuse for this condition Of things. Our
citizens may be able to satisfy inquiring
strangers that it is perfectly natural
and proper TO depend upon Hammond
TO build our future mills and elevators,
but II would sound rather odd II they
were told we were waiting for him to
improve our streets also. The Astorian
heartily agrees with its correspondent
that it is high time something were
done in Astoria, and that somebody
ought to do it; but whether the plan
suggested by him to revive the commit
tee Of twenty-one is the right way to
go about this particular matter or not.
Is question which we commend TO the
earnest and early consideration Of our
worthy and efficient city council.

Eenshlp, To the instructive belief that
such Ia the inevitable trend ot trusts
and monopolies Is duo the widespread
and dcep-scated popular aversion In
which they are held, and the not unrca-
sonable inslstcnce that whatever may
be their incidental economic advantages
their general cffect upon personal char
actcr prospects and usefulness cannot
be otherwise than injurious Though
congress has attempted 70 deal with
this matter by legislation. the laws
passed FOR that purpose thus far have
proved Ineffective, not because of any
lack or disposition or attempt TO en-.
force them. but simply because the laws
themselves as interpreted by the courts,
do not reach the difficulty. II the in
Sutiiclency ~ existing laws can be rom.
cdicd by further legislation. Il should
be done, Il should be recognized how
ever. that all beneficial legislation on
this subject may fail short of its pur.
pose because of inherent obstacles and
also because of the complex character
OF our governmental system. which.
while making the federal authority SUI.
premc within It's sphere. has carefully
limited that sphere by bounds which
cannot De transgrrssrd The decision
~ our highest court on the precise
question renders Il quite doubtful
whether the evils of trusts and monop-
olles can be adequately treated through
federal action, unless they seek directly
and purposely 20 include In their OBJ
jccts transportation or intercourse be.
tween states or between the United
States and foreign countries. II does
not follow. however. that this Is the
limit Of the remedy that may be ap-
piled. Even though II may be found
that the federal authorities are not
broad enough TO fully reach the case
there can be no doubt Of the power OF
the several states to act effectively in
the premises and there should be no
reason TO doubt their Willingness 70 ju-
diciously exercise such power
In concluding this communication.
its last words shall be an appeal to the
congress for tho most rigid economy
In the expenditure OF the money Il
holds in trust for the people The way
TO perplexing extravagancics IL easy.
but return to frugality Is difficult.
When, however. II Is considered that
those who can bear the burdens OF tax
alton have no guaranty Of honest care
save in the tdellty OF their public SER
wants, the duty OF all possible retrench-
ment is plainly manifest When our DIFF
ferences are forgotten. and our con-
tests Of political opinion are no longer
remembered. nothing In the retrospect
OF our public service will be as fortu-
nate and comforting as the recollection
Of official duty we'll performed. and the
memory OF constant devotion TO the
interests Of our condding fellow coun-
trymen. GROVER CLEVELAND.

The president has undoubtedly got
the right idea with regard to Cuba. and
so far as his message relates to that
subject it is an admirable paper but
IN no other respect is it up to his usual
standard as state document In his
defense Of the Wilson tariT he Is es-
pecially weak and Illogical, since he
now praises those very features Of that
law which were added by the senate
amendments. and which were made the
express ground upon which he withheld
his approval Of the act at the time of
its passage. Although admitting the
governments present deficiency Of reye-
nue., he strangely omits any suggestion
OF legislation for its mprovement-not
even recommending the beer tax, which
other Democrats are proposing as a
way to provide additional income with
cut increasing the tariff. 1t is not only
uncandid. but seems hardly honest
for the pres ident to talk Of a S12s, ,OOO,-
900 surplus in the treasury, "applica-
bic to the payment Of the expenses
Of the government" when he has with
in the knowledge Of every intelligent
American citizen borrowed during the
term Of his office upwards Of 5000, 900, 900
for no other purpose than that of meet
ing the current expenditures of the
government. His talk about the pro-
priety Of applying the surplus which he
fortunately" found in the treasury to
the payment Of the governments ex-
penses not met by current revenues.
and the distinction he tries to make be-
tween a government necessarily using
rs emergency reserve funds to pay its
ordinary expenses, and an Individual
who spends his capital because he
elects to live beyond his income, is 80
Tar fetched as to be absolutely silly,
and we think it unworthy the standard
Of dignity with which Mr.. Cleveland
has always been accredited, even by his
ottterest enemies. 1t was not so long
ago when Mr.. Cleveland found fault
with this very surplus and pronounced
1t one of the greatest Of evils II he
now thinks it fortunate thing to have
in the treasury, he ought to thank and
praise the Republican policies which
are responsible for its accumulation.
