LOCAL TRANSPORTATION.

Astoria really needs more local
transportation lines; lines that will
open up and popularize whole sections
of suburban territory; and she is 60
ing TO have them. There is not
enough room for expansion on the
north side Of her mills, and there is a
wonderful abundance over the brows
of them to the south; magnificent sites
and ample space for a city twice the
size Of this that fronts her northern
bay-side. There is no expedient to
compare with real, well-equipped,
-bolstered, electric line that touch
es the limits of the idle and splendid
properties that are out-fanked by the
existing conditions and areas of pop
ulation.
From the crown of the hills that
form the backbone of this peninsula,
to the margin Of Young's Bay and
Young's River, there is one of the fn-
est realms of homeland, awaiting ex-
ploitation, that ever laid out of doors

THE PEACE OF NATIONS.

Now that the incredible genius OF
the peoples of the earth have wrought
almost everything that can be turned
to the comfore, convenience and happi-
ness of manking. 1t is within the pur-
view of the logical destiny of man,
that the era of universal peace should
be ushered in, to stay.
We need the blessing of universal
peace to create base upon which all
the good things of life, above referred
to, shall be better and more widely
distributed and applied. As things
stand now there is carking realiza-
tion that the good things of life are
lily, unwisely. and most unfairly al
lotted, and hence, the dissatisfaction
that calls for the peace conferences
all over the world.
II the great convention at the Hague
can but round up the nations and
commit them to the policy Of amnesty
and forbearance and quietude, We Of
the several countries will see to it that
peace prevails at home, after the sit
ting at the Dutch capital, If We have
to kill few hundred thousand of our
own fool fellows to accomplish 1t.
We are for peace at any cost; and it
generally costs more than any other
commodity, only we don't realize what
we are paying for 1t all the time. Just
imagine the calm and riffie-less exist
ance that viii ensue when we disband
our armies and navies; throw our
prison doors wide open; turn our gun
factories into gyfmnasiums and our
courts are abandoned to the pacific
tenancies of the educators, and kind
ergartens; chuck our six-shooters and
rifles and shot-guns into the abysmal
slough Of forgotten wrongs, take up
our peace-pipes and admit no argu-
ments to supervene! Then will we
know what light taxation means, and
knowing win make 1t lighter The
vista that Is opened up by this dream
Of 'tne peace of the nations" is rosy
and romantic enough to inspire an
other Don Quixote," with the tale re-
versed, and quicken the possibilities
Of an abandoned graveyard. Peace!
Wen have it If We have to set the
world ablaze with mortal horrors, for
centuries to come, and prove our faith
by dying in pursuit of it.

THE DISMAL EARTHQUAKE.

The people dwelling beyond the lat.
tltude Of the earthquake belt, for the
most part. do not know what Of horror
and dread they escape. They simply
cannot even approximate Il by thought
or Imagination. 1t is one OF those
inconceivable things that battle all
ideas OF sensation. save in the dread
ful realization itself. 1t Is unspeaka-
bly, frightening and sickening, and the
utter exclusion of all Agns OF It's
coming, the fearful suddeness and un-
|expectedness of II, when II does come.
Is among It's chiefest terrors. We. Of
the north. count ourselves outside the
limits OF the effected area, and We are.
so far as history OF seismic visitation
has any bearing on the matter, but
that does not exempt us, though II
mimifies the chance OF our being in
volved. The day may come, and at
any time, when the whole course of
the earthquake-path may change and
sweep our way.
An the frequency with which the
tremblors are attacking the various
points OF the earth, are significant
OF the tremendous and the wide
spread agitation within the hidden
mass Of unknowable subterranean
agencies that create the awful de-
struction at the surface OF the worlds
crusts. We may well take deep and
endless interest In the sufferings
wrought by these visitants and give
of our best and richest means In NIT
igation Of the woes thus brought to
pass, for the day may dawn for us
when we, too. shall crave the same
generous measure Of sympathy and
aid, now so often demanded of us.

RATHER SUSPICIOUS.

Southern Senators and Congressman
are supporting President Roosevelt in
the Brownsville matter with so much
unanimity and zeal that many persons
are inclined to doubt the sincerity of
this support. 1t is not unreasonable to
think that it is considerably tinctured
with politics. 1t hasn't been but a short
time ago when these same Democratic
politicians announced their purpose to
throw their support to the President on
what they thought were his tariff re-
vision views, with view to create a
rupture between him and Republican
leaders. This last movement on the
part of the Democrats may be made for
the same purpose. They are given to
such tricks, and try to practice them so
frequently that men on the other side
become suspicious of the integrity and
sincerity of their purpose. We publish
in another column an editorial from the
Richmond Times-Dispatch, headed
TOLD You So" which is rather sus-
picious. The idea of the Democrats be-
ing the Presidents best friends is rath-
er amusing. Did Senator Blackburn in
troduce that amendment because he
wanted to assist the President and from
a matter of principle, or was he playing
politics? Answer truly, Mr.. Times-D Dis
patch.

Kingston, fair place Of hearty and

Two centuries ago, 1892, Port ROYAL
the most thriving town in the West In

treasure house of buccaneer and priva-
teer, the center of tropical trade. lavish
and luxurious, given to wild excess born
OF Spanish spoil and English sea daring,
there came a tropical night in which the
sea flowed fathoms where houses stood.
This earthquake ga years ago follows

Protection of guilty men in high
places by officials sworn to enforce the
law has been attempted, and in some
conspicuous cases has been successful.
But the record of the year shows that
the time has gone in this country when
wealth and political influence could DUR
chase immunity from punishment for
statutory crime. While this is crafty
ing to every citizen, who knows that
The republic cannot survive continued
favoritism in the administration
