BEGGING THE QUESTION.

Not yet have the Democrats, their
trailers and boosters, nor their Organs,
had the nerve to say in 50 many words
that they are in favor Of, or against, the
"wide open town. They content them
selves with the beggarly suggestion that
"the town is closed now and think TO
quiet public uneasiness by the use Of
such fim.ham a. that. They are leagled
with all the elements that stand for an
open town; they are pledged to compass

ASToRIA'S PUBLICATIONS.

The public obligations of city like
Astoria are peculiarly sensitive TO the
mutations of administration, and must
be held sacred from the mischance of
fool.hardiness in the conduct of public
affairs. The charter limit of public debt
has been reached, not TO say exceeded,
and the best capacity and purposes OF
its new administration, of whatever po-
litical persuasion, must of necessity be
directed to the restoration of the honest
and legal status required for it by the
rules of business and the charter. There
is no escaping it. The citizens and tax.
payers are tyrannical when they know
thing is wrong and set about TO cor.
rect it; and the public fiat for an adj
Indication of this grave matter will
reach the custodians of the public credit
very shortly and in no ambiguous terms.
Other cities have met and corrected
these conditions and Astoria has no eN-
emptions to plead against so significant
and imperative a duty. 1t will be the
first duty of the Republicans if the
charge of government falls to them next
month.

REGISTRATION IMPERATIVE.

Let no citizen with grain of public
spirit refrain from registering immedi-
ately. 1t is an imperative duty, and one
that is pre- requisite to all the work that
is to be done at the polls. Every Re-
publican owes it to the community to be
registered when the 18th day of De-
cember shall dawn. II he is not regist-
cred, he is practically disfranchised, and
has wilfully abandoned the first prin-
ciple of his citizenship. Make no mis-
take about this matter. There are
make. shifts, of course, but they involve
time and create trouble and annoyance
for those WHOSE duties are onerous
enough on election day, without the ad'
ditional trouble of bolstering up the
laggard in the performance of a plain
duty, for which the law has afforded
ample time and conveniences. Register

Cigarettes and Insanity.


Does cigarette smoking cause. insan-

committee of the Medico-Legal So
ciety, of New York. of the medical
superintendent: Of the hospitals for in
sane of the United States, and not q
single case was reported in answer, -
says DR.. William b Fletcher, in Med
1cal Progress. Responses from alien
lists of Europe showed great surprise,
as the subject had never been thought
OF by them. Personally, have exam
1ned over 200 works on insanity pub
lished in English, with the essence Of
German and French literature by
translation, and by no alienist or med
ical writer of any repute is the word
cigarette found in relation to, causa-
tion,T nor is smoking tobacco in any
form mentioned in connection with
mental disease. In the past 20 years
l have examined over 1900 cases Of
nervous disease and insanity where
the cause of the malady was. given by
their friends as the cigarette habit.
In not one case have l reason to be-
lieve that tobacco had anything to do
with the causation OF the disease. The
patients were all young men, and some
Of them insane without doubt. Some
Of them smoked cigarettes to excess,
but their insanity, was the cause of the
excess; the excess was not the cause Of
the insanity" .@:: I. &
