AWAKENING INTEREST.
The Selection Of Councllmen at the
Coming City Election.

The interest In the coming city cleo
lion is not confined to the prospective
candidates and their friends. The lat
Ter are concerned with the administra-
tive officers. but the general interest
has to do with the legislative part Of
the municipal government.
The financial condition of Astoria Is
not satisfactory TO those upon whom
the cost Of government falls. The tax
payers Of Astoria have a painful con-
ditlon TO confront. II is everywhere
conceded that something must be
done" although no one is able to sug-
gest now what that something Is.
The general indebtedness OF the city,
exclusive Of, the water works. whose
cost was profitable investment. is
heavy and We have nothing substan-
tial TO show for the money Our tax
rate Of 1898 was nearly double that Of
Portland, and Astoria has no city hall.
no bridges, no court house, mo any
thing OF an attractive and useful
character that satisfactorily accounts
TO the taxpayer for the heavy drain.
We have only the fast decaying road
ways that constantly need repairs and
upon which no improvements can be
made that can be called permanent.
The publication Of these matters
does not hurt the city. 1t is the
Ignoring these conditions that daily
Injuries Astoria The public recogni-
tIon of existing conditions will not
drive away prospective investors
When capital seeks investment 1t con-
suits the records-not the newspapers,
and prefers casting its lot with peo-
pie who are ready to face and correct
a bad situation to mingling with those
who try to ignore IT,
The present council can testify from
Its experience ;hat It is easier to dis
cover the need OF remedy than it is
to find the remedy, But the incoming
council will be expected to find some
method for improving the situation
and the citizens OF Astoria are inter-
ested in the selection OF competent
councilmen.

THE PRIMARIES.

There was opposition 10 the regular
ticket At the republican primaries yes
torday. More correctly II was intended
10 be opposition. but the result was a
woeful failure.
The opposition ticket that appeared
IN each of these wards was in the In
terest of Ex-chief Of Police Barry, II
IA said, but It's only effect was to bring
out more regular votes than might
otherwise have been cast. The inde-
pendent ticket only received from 10 10
n votes In each ward.
In the middle ward there was a
third ticket that attracted little atten-
ton.
