Washington, March s.-(Speclal) )-The negro disfranchisement amendments to the state constitution of Maryland passed the Maryland senate today without se- rious opposition. The few republican members in that body merely voted against the bill.

DON'T DISGRACE THE CITY.

1t is plainly the intention of the city council to
cause the erection of new city hail. Everyone
viii agree that the determination OF the council is
commendable, and when the work of building the
structure is begun there should and viii be great
rejoicing among those who expect to see Astoria
advance.
But the council must not put up cheap build
ing. There are now altogether too many tumbled-
down shacks in Astoria. For city of its CONNER
eia Importance Astoria presents the most unsightly
appearance of any town in the west 1t is not
pleasant to be compelled to say this but the state
ment is true in every particular. The leading
business buildings are little better than barns and
there is no artistic architecture except in some of
the residence sections. The fronts. of the stores
along Commercial street are pleasing, but the build
ngs which they occupy are on par with structures
to be seen in mining camps
If the city undertakes the construction of the
city hall, it should see to it that the building is
a slightly one. The erection of an inexpensive
wooden structure would be waste of funds; we
would be no better off than at the present time
Every investment which the council makes should
tend toward advancement The county is soon to
vacate barn for structure that will not only be
adequate for many years to come, but which will
be credit to Astoria and the entire county. If
the city wants shack for its headquarters, let it
remain where it is now located Ii it wants to
remove to respectable quarters let the council erect
a structure that will not be standing disgrace to
the municipality.
The city is not temporary institution. 1t is
just as permanent as anything can be. Present
day investments will affect future generations and
must be made with due regard for what is to trans
pire hereafter. Any investment should be perma
nent Of character. It has been stated heretofore
that some of the city officials would oppose the
building of a hall which will cost more than the
amount realized from the sale Of the present site
and building 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
majority of the members of the council will enter
tain different view Of the NATTER and insist upon
the erection of respectable headquarters, if new
hall is really to be built

CAUSES OF CANCER.

Increase in the number Of cases of cancer ap-
devoting time and attention to the subject but the
discovery of the remedy does not appear to have
been found, Notwithstanding the multiplicity of
assigned causes for the scourge. In Vienna, DR..
Wolf, specialist, insists that beer drinking is the
principal cause, and that the abstaner from lager
will be practically immune. But the opinion of
Dr. Wolf is not allowed to go unchanged. DR.,
William George Beare of London insists that it is
the smoker who is never immune, but always sub
ject to the attack, while DR.. Won Schlichte Of Mu-
mich declares that to eat meat is to invite cancer
and to adopt strictly vegetarian diet is to be safe
forever and day.
In the multiplicity of opinions of sole causes,
and all others spurious, it would be unfair to omit
reference to the dweers in the land of New Jersey
They point with pride to the fact that the citizen
whose home is among the myriads of mosquitoes
and whose bodies are subjected to their bites is
of all men, the only man to whom cancer can have
no terrors, for between the deadly cancer and the
peStiferous mosquito the latter is the more deadly
and that where the bite of the mosquito is there
can be no cancer.
In the meantime, and while science = which
ought to be as broad as the universe-is skirmshng
around for remedies preventive active, it is not
to be supposed that the smoker will quit the weed
nor the Milwaukee man his beer, nor the average
man his meat-at least, not unless the beef combine
forces him to avoid danger in spite of himself.
Much less than all is it to be seriously believed that
states and cities will be depopuated in general
hegira to New Jersey, notwithstanding it is the
home of the mosquito and Mr. Cleveland
The public is not 50 deeply interested in the
cause as it is in the cure for maady undoubtedly
on the increase the public would prefer there
would be more safety in the multiplicity Of phys-
clans and less divergence in their multiplicity of
suggestions

ditions Of labor may be ameliorated by machinery,
but labor is essential nevertheless, and the fancy

incomes of $4,000 each year is the widest kind
Of dream. Money would yield no income il it
were not for the labor that is put with it. There

Foundation Of Republlcan Par.y.

It IN quite natural that the name
republican should occur to many at OF
about the same time In different parts
OF the country. II Is q name simple
in construction. and yet vast in the
Interpretation OF It's meaning. or one
thing we may be sure, that neither
Greeley nor Seward nor Sumner nor
Chase nor Wilson nor any of those who
became leaders and most prominent in
the party after II was well established
did little. IL anything, to help II at
It's birth. 1t was the earnest and
Jealous eommoner who founded the
party and put 1t on Its feet. The OPP
portunity was ripe for such man as
Seward to take the leadership from
the start. and he no doubt would have
been well supported had he done so,
but those men who afterward became
the great pillars of the party, in what
seemed to them wisdom and good
judgment, hesltated about disrupting
the old whig party. or were jealous and
reluctant to sacrifice all that had gone
before the new and untrled. It can
almost be said that the republican
party founded itself. The movement
once formed became irresistible, and
never before or since has any political
party in It's first year of existence
polled so many votes and elected so
many men to both minor and higher
offices as did the republican party in
the fall of 1854. It matters not that
much of this initial momentum was
lost In the following year; its very inn
pulse of 1854 was sufficient to carry II
over the discouragements and reaction
which were bound to come, and which
were only temporary, and gave a still
greater impetus to the party In 1856.

the Republican Party"

NO WEALTH WITHOUT LABOR.

The treasurer Of the Milwaukee Savings Bank
has figured out that the cost of Christopher COlum-
bus first voyage Of discovery if put out at interest
at per cent would by this time have amounted
to more than the entire money value of the conti-
nent together with the accumulations from the in
dustry of all who have lived upon it. eff any
doubt this he says, "let them reckon the amount,
estimating the entire outfit to have cost only the
small sum of $4,000, and remembering that money
doubles, at per cent in a little less than twelve
years (or accurately, in II years. 10 months and
q days.. Allowing it to double every twelve years,
this $1,000 at interest at per cent since 1892, it
will be found, would have amounted to about $780,
100000 100000, which, estimating the population
of the entire continent Of America North and
South to be 150,000,000, or 100000 families
(averaging five members each), would give $2,O00,-
600 as the possession Of every of these families
The interest upon 100000 at per cent is $780,,
900, which would now be the princely annual in
come Of these 3O000000 families from the accumu-
lations up to this time upon so small sum as that
named for the outfit of the discoverer."
This is indeed an interesting calculation, but it
is a myth which will not have tendency to en-
courage day-dreamers. The Tacoma Ledger makes
the bankers statement the subject for some sensi-
bic comment, as follows:
''This is clever mathematical fiction, but, like
most calculations Of this sort, it is true only on
paper Hens will lay eggs and hatch out chickens,
and one can figure out fortune from small in
vestment in poultry, but there are no records of
such actual results in the chicken business as any
boy can figure out with pencil and sheet of

OUR GREAT GOVERNMENT.

The United States government ranks as the
largest business enterprise in the country, if not in
the world The civil service Of the United States
affords employment to more than 100000 persons.
The United States treasury is the greatest financial
institution in the country. 1t is the financial end
of the great establishment over which the president
of the United States presides. The treasury holds
billion dollars worth, in round numbers, of gold
and silver coin and bullion in trust for the holders
of its certificates who prefer paper money to handle
instead Of coin 1t carries something like $400-
100000 cash, either as reserve for the redemption
of its own demand obligations or as available cash
balance, and its net ordinary receipts and disburse
ments exceed $50O,00O000 annually in time Of
peace This of course, does not include the moneys
which pass through the hands Of the government
in the operation of the postofice department, nor
the operations Of the subtreauries, through which
a constant stream of money is flowing as through
a bank
