The demand for seats ut a Paris
court trial is utilized by the poor to
turn an honest franc. The courtrooms
usually admit Of but forty visitors

CHOICE OF WASHINGTON.

The selection of Washington as the
place OF meeting for the Russo.Japanese
peace plenitentiaries is of considerably
more significance than most person real.
lze' In fact, it is a most important Incl.
dent in the history of the country. and
OF the world. 1t is of especial signifi.
cance for never before has the American
capital been sought for the place for spch
meeting. The impetus it affords to.
"ard attaining the Characterization of
world power" is greater than that fol.
lowing the Spanish-American war which
resulted in the recognition of the country
as one of the most influential nations
IN the world. Aside from this, the selec.
tion Of Washington is convincing that
both belligerents believe the United
states TO be so neutral, 80 disinterested
and so absolutely impartial that its can
ital is the most desirable place for the
meeting of their plenipotentiaries. This
manifestation of confidence and the alac.
rity with which President Roosevelt's
overtures for the contamination of a
peace conference have been accepted by
bot hcountries should sufficiently estab.
lish the status of this country in rela.
tion to the war and to the powres that
are waging it-a status than which none
could be more honorable and benevolent
Probably the most gratifying phase of
the elimination of negotiations for the
appointment of peace plenipotentiaries

MORAL CLEANLINESS.

Sheriff Linville has declared himself

character, but that they shall flourish
and this, with the sanction of the laws
of the State of Oregon.

where the boys Of our city are allowed to

who have long since bid "adieu" to an
appreciation of modesty, of honor or OF
self respect, where the unwary are wont
to mingle with these gaudily garbed
demi- i-modes only to leave minus money
and awakened to realize that the esthet.
ic virtues of Astoria's dance halls are
difficult to perceive.
This topic is no milk for infants. The
city is facing crisis. The fact that
those brothels are permitted to exist is
not an argument in behalf of our maral
standard; rather it bodies i'll, and will
only result in retarding the progress of
this community. Persons with the in
terests of the city at heart will not cry
out against an advocacy to rid these
places of their lewd occupants. No self

shold, that his duty is to drive the wo.

Unfortunately we have no executive at

New York the other day. He had just
returned enthusiastic from his visit to
Fort Hamilton and Sandy Hook.
'To be sure a squadron could approach
under the cloak of fog he continued.
'In San Francisco, particularly, where
fogs and dense weather prevail, the sit
uation would offer more advantages to
an attacking force. With the develop
ment of the torpedo and submarine sys-
TENS, however, Pacific coast cities will
be safe even should the elements favor
the approach of an enemy. There are
plenty of guns on the Atlantic seaboard

plans to increase its strength"

Representatives Of the big soft coal
mines have asked the reads entering Chi
cago to generally waive the charge made
for switching cars in and around that
city. This charge varies, running from
anything a road can get to SO per car.
The rail and ocean rate from Chicago
to Manila, p. L., has been reduced $25
in Zach direction. This is the result OF
action taken by the steamship line of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. which recently
gave notice that it would waive the $25
arbitrary charge made between the jap
anese and Chinese ports and Manila. The
American lines were forced to meet ths
Canadian Pacific competition.
