STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

IL is evident that the common coun-
ell - about all in. judging from a
statement made by A. NJ. Smith, Judge
advocate general Of the common cour-
cil, last Tuesday night. when he stat
ed that the four small street improve
ments now under consideration, would
be all that the city could make until
some Of the old street assessments
were collected in. As it will ltake near
iy four months. and possibly longer,
TO collect In these delinquent assess
ments, il is very doubtful II any more
street improvements win be made In
Astoria this year. This Is TO be re-
GREETED as there are two or three
streets that are almost an absolute
necessity. Exchange from Seventeenth
to the clatsop min is one Of them.
The people residing along Irving ave-
nue were very anxious 10 have that
street improved. but win have to wait
another year. This win put stop TO
the building OF several fine residences
which were In contemplation.
The common council is not to blame
for this condition Of affairs, 50 far as
the Improvement OF streets is- con-
cesneds II is to be admitted that
more economy could be exercised In
many Of the departments and many
unnecessary bills done away with. but
the fact that there is no: sufficient
money for making street improve
ments is due to the refusal of the
property owners TO pay their street
assessments. Many Of them have taken
advantage of the lax methods of the
city ofTicials to enforce prompt pay
msnt, and the policy in the past Of
allowing street assessment TO run
three or four years and then throw
OF the penalty and interest when re-
quested so to do. There Is scarcely
"a meeting Of the council but what
someone does not make application to
settle an old assessment providing the
Will NuIOW OIl
the penalty Is to be thrown off, why
not repeal the ordinance providing for
it? The ordinance was passed to COM
pei promptness in the payment Of the
street assessments. There has never
been an instance on record where any
person having bill against the city
offered to throw off anything. ana

The city frequently pays more for !
supplies than is charged anyone else
sitmply because every Tom, Dick and t
Harry are permitted to buy what they
want. much OF which is wholly un-
necessary. Somebody once made a |
remark about locking the stable after
the horse had been stolen, and II ap-
plies with peculiar force to some Of 1

ly contractual rights, it means the abandonment to the subjects of other governments of the interests of Amer ican trade and commerce through the sacrifice of their investments by ex- cessive taxes imposed in violation of contract, and by other devices, and the sacrifice of the output of their mines and other industries, and even of their railway and shipping interests which they have established in the ex- ploitation of their concessions. Thus the attempted solution of the complex problem by the ordinary methods of diplomacy reacts injuriously upon the United States government itself, and in 3 measure paralyzes the action of the executive in the direction of sound and consistent policy. The United States government is embarrassed in it's efforts to foster American enter prise and growth of our commerce through the cultivation of friendly re- lations with Santo Domingo, by the ir- ritating3 effects on those relations and the consequent injurious influence upon that commerce of frequent inter yertions. As a method of solution of the complicated problem arbitration has become nugatory, inasmuch as, in the condition of it finances, an award against the republic is worthless un- less its payment is secured by the pledge of at least some portion of the customs revenues. This pledge is in effectual without actual delivery of the custom houses to secure the approria- ton of the pledged revenues to the payment of the award. This situation again reacts injuriously upon the re- lations of the United States with other nations.
 For, when an award and such secur- ity are thus obtained, as in the case of the Santo Domingo Improvement com- pany, some foreign government com-

During the whole time OF the eOnha-

times great numbers Of cans would
burst together, making a noise like a

popping would become desultory, like

The brillianee Of the illumination,
resulting from the flames early in the
fre, drew large portion Of the eity's

people were collected there about mid
night. The flames made the scene as

eendiary origin was quickly put aside.
At first Secretary MeGill, OF the nur-

il had been caused by sparks dropping
from a switch engine that had shortly
before passed on the track running by
