Thorough Investigation Needed.

The precise validity of Santo
Domingo's debt can. DR.. Hollander
thinks. be ascertained only after deiib-
crate and thorough investigation. This
sort of investigation, he says. Is that
proposed by the pending treaty. Every
item should be revised by a commls-
sion so carefully constituted as to in
tegrity and capacity as TO command the
respect and confidence of all concerned.
DR.. HolIander makes no attempt 10 an
ticipate the work of such a commission
He thinks that definite expression from
him as to the validity of particular
items would at this time be not only
premature, but harmful
He estimates. however, that actual
revision would scale this debt of more
than $4,000, 900 10 Sl5,0O0O0O or SlS.0O0 900
placing $40. 600. 900 as the outside limit
Senator Spooner has expressed the opin-
ion that not more than SS,Oo0.0 000 of this
total is valid
The Hollander report is strong argu-
ment for the ratification Of the pending
DOMINICAN treaty.

THE HOUR. THEMEN. THE DUTY
What the Meeting Means to ststs
County and City No Program Ar
ranged = Republicans to Have What
Republicans Desire.

Tomorrow evening at 8 O'Clock. at
the county court house OF CIatsop. in
this city, there should assemble hun
dreds Of the representative Republicans
Of this town and shire The purposes
Of the meeting are plainly stated in the
call for the assembly, now running in
these columns, and do not require re-
itemtion here.
There Is no preeoncerted program that
any one knows anything about; the
processes OF organization, and reofga-
nization, will, or should be, wholly spon-
taDeous, and put in operation upon the
majority expression Of those present.
And once the work i formulated, the
officers Of the club named and installed,
and the program Tor the campaign out
lined and adopted, there will be .mlimit-
ed scope for the demonstration Of party.
and partisan, activity and energy, in
preparing for the coming campaign
and the manifold dnties il entails.
1t j. needless for the Astorian to
tell the Republicans OF this section
what is expected Of them at this crisis
in the history Of the party here; every
man Of them knows full well the
exigencies that confront the party in
Astoria and Clatsop county, and the
imperative necessity Of adjusting the
party strength aud policies TO the oc-
casion. II is an old story and long
one; and its rehearsal would serve no
rational purpose now.
The one. main. obligatory and SUI
preme function OF the hour, on tornor
row. is the firm, stninch, complete and
pacific rehabilitation of the Republican
party Of Clatsop county, Oregon. That
is all. II it tFanspires, the party Of the
State will have ore more reliant and
helpful attribute in the ousting Of the
opposition from place and power, and
the re-establishment Of Republican SUI
premaey in Republican Oregon; and
Clatsop county will have the eorrelative
satisfaction Of a full staff of Republican
officials in the county and legislative
services
