STAND PAT.

i The Astoria Democratic ring ha!
crawtished. 1t has yielded up tn,
ghost. and the ''wiggle- waggle' OF the
Commercial street church, again, "he-
hawes." The democratic mule has
kicked over the traces and the Jennie
refuses to be comforted. An edict has
gone forth from the Brick" signed
by the faithful that after due and de-
liberate consideration the democratic
citizens contingent Of lost cause do
not think any changes in the Astoria
charter are imperative at the present
time, Only short time ago reform
was necessary" and the faithful gath

few amendments to the city cnarteI

government, and perpetuate the oleo-
margarine element Of the party in

Public sentiment was so strong
against them that they had to weaken.
They suddenly came to the conclusion
vox populi vox del was not COM
ponent part of the democratic party of
Clatsop county and they wanted to let
Representative Burns down as easily
as possible. They framed a letter
and sent it to the committee on cities
and towns of the legislature, stating
that after careful review of the stu.
alton, 1t was the unanimous opinion Of
the democratic mule that changes in
the present charter would be attended
with great bodily harm, and they
humbly beseached the committee to
withdraw both charters.
The republicans who were backed
up by public sentiment, including a.
large majority of the better element Of
the democratic party were in favor of
the changes proposed In the Tuttle
charter bill. They resolved to stand
pat. Not only were the republicans in
favor Of adopting all the amendments
suggested by the common council com
mittee, but insisted on having their
own amendments adopted at the same
time. The democrats crawfished. The
republicans are standing pat. The
adoption of the Tuttle charter means
the defeat of the democratic ring that
mas run politics in Clatsop county
for several years with a high hand |
They are opposed to a one-man police
commission and a one-man boss.

II costs the Cairo team about $SS

requires something like $50. and $50
must be paid TO the visiting club. and
then there are great number of in

rent, gate keepers. ticket sellers. and
other items. So 1t is easily seen how
long the league could afford to run

II is known that the Cairo Association
will take steps to have professional
ball, and win try hard to either bring
the Kitty to life again, or organize
another league.
AT any rate the Kitty Is dead for
1905, and peace to its ashes.
The Cairo bulletin., 1905-08-13

The death rattle has already set up
in the threat of the Kitty League and
at the meeting of the directors TO
be held in this city today it will be
officially declared dead The meeting
win be attended by President Brown
of Paducah and all the league diree-
tors.
The opinion seems to be unanimous
that the season of 1905 is az an end

in fact, the officials have already de-
cided that Monday win see the last
game played in the league this year,

The meeting TO be held today will
be to wind up the business of the sea
son. and some steps will probably be
taken in regard to the players of the
various teams, whether they will be
turned loose now. or some arrange

for the death of the once prosperous

physicians in charge here. There are
certain plans which will be worked
out and put into the quarantine regu-

more stricter in case an emergency
arises, but until danger approaches a
great deal nearer than at present il is
probable that the rules will remain as
they are, Dr. Egan and his corps OF
doctors have thought out a system
which will be as rigid as power can
make it. and at today's conference
this system will be thoroughly gone
over and revised and strengthened If
it can possibly be done
