LIGHTING NIGHT CHANNELS,

= Some clever genius in the East has
evolved a splendid scheme for light
ing river and harbor channels by cleo
tricity at night, thus dispensing with
all need OF pilots on vessels that
operate in such waters, and making
it feasible for ocean liners TO enter
any port so equipped, The lines of
light are laid on the exact and ap-
proved courses given by the Govern
ment and are attached to continuous
cable, the powerful and submerged
lamps rejecting their rays up through
the waters, making clean, safe route
for classes and sizes of vessels that
can operate in the depths so lighted.
The system can be applied for any
distances, by the use OF auxiliary
power plants at intervals along the
river or bay-side, and over the bars
at harbor entrances; and is alto
gether one of the latest and most
wonderful applications of the electric
principle,
1t is such things as this that make
the world move; that measure the
daily progress of the modern, and
makes for the glory of mankind, and
incidentally, for the American people.

IF!

If, when the Republican national
convetnlon shall have assembled at
Chicago in June next, and organized,
and the great play of human interests
begins to move in manifold and force
full measure; when the profound am
bitions and inspirations of the hour
gradually unfold and assert them
selves; when plot and counterplot,
design, scheme, game and chance, are
shifting to and fro, building, wreck
ing, barring, fructifying, under the
opportune and inopportune influences
set on foot by hundreds of men with
hundreds of diverse ends; when de-
feat and disappointment, attack, and
return-assault have engendered the
sum of bitterness that must play
against the larger and nobler in
stincts and operations of the day;
when every human passion and grace
and foible is in inextricable action
and wrought to fercest and finest
expression; when all is turmoil and
strife interviewer with the heroic and
manful exigencies of the time and
place, there shall occur one of those
Psychological pauses; lingering
silence surcharged with the contend
ing elements of real JOY and real
pain, and the moment is given over
absolutely to what of new import may
impend: What, if, at that supreme
moment, the name of Theodore
Roosevelt is injected into the barren,
yet receptive instant, from the tongue
and voice of some strategic master
who realize the crisis and makes

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. /.

There is one feature of the referen-
dunn that will make itself felt in time
to come, and that is, that law COM
ing up from the people direct and
unanimously, is mandate that may
not be dealt with even by supreme
court with any grace whatever, since
the people are behind the court and
the constitutions of the states and ma
tion. Only an invasion OF the federal
constitution by the terms of state
enactment may serve as warrant for
judicial denial or barrier.
All this is yet to be threshed out;
the referendum principle is too new
to justify positive assurance of its
organic invincibility, but it is newt
able all the same, and the sooner it
is cleared of all doubt, the better
The people are restive under assumed
or unwarranted criticism of their de-
iberate acts and, as the power they
possess becomes more conspicuously
realized, the sharper will be the popu-
lar anger against such interference
The inference, given out at the
fisheries mass meeting in this city on
Friday night last, that the gill-netters'
bill for the stopping of salmon fishing
at'tide-water limit, may not be enforc
able owing to any cause whatever, is
a case in point; and will serve the
uses of argument If that bill is
enacted at the June polls by major
vote of the Oregon electorate it will
be the primal, legal expression of the
people, and the people are the law;
they must amend, qualify recall,
veto and repeal their own acts; other
wise the essence of the referendum is
destroyed utterly.
No institution of the people shares
any responsibility with the people in
the framing, enacting and perpetual
ing of their own edicts; no court, no
commission, nothing lesser than the
organic whole, may enter denial, pro-
test or bar, within the jurisdiction
the people stand for; all else, in thar
purview, are creatures and creations
of the people, who remain unques-
toned until they shall have trans
gressed the higher law of a more
commanding organism.

a drop Of blood strikes him upturned
palm, disclosing the hiding man
above, He Is brought down, and in
one of the best scenes ever enacted
here, the girl offers to play him
game Of poker, three hands, to see
whether she gets the road agent, or
the sheriff gets him--and her, Through
the long game, pin could be heard
to drop, so wrapped up was the au-
dience in the scene, The FIRST hand,
they each held two pairs Of aces, and
she wins on pair Of queens against
his pair OF jacks, The second hand
falls TO him, holding a pair Of sevens
to her pair Of deuces, The third
hand is dealt, he looks at his hand,
and finds he holds n diamond flush,
With gasp she fall forward, feign'
ing iaintness, calls for water, he turns

she throws her cards to the floor,
extracts a prepared hand from her
stocking, and wine the game by three
tens and a pair Of queens-cheating
deliberately for her lovers life

us against to the saloon The sheriff
has kept his secret, and that very
morning has started the road agent
out OF the country, But he failed to
count on the Wells Fargo detective
who follows the escaping man, brings
him back handcuffed, to hang, The
gilrs appears, and the gang decide to
let her and him have a moment alone.
They do so, and return to find her
for him, The scene touches
the hearts Of all but the sheriff-who
cannot interfere, as he was captured
outside his county. She prepares to
leave, to go to new life with the
now reformed road agent, takes leave
of them all, turns to the sheriff, who
responds only in silent toast with the
glass OF whisky he holds, The curtain
'alls with the liquor running from the
slowly upturned glass--the man and

Short, the sheriff, Mr.. Bell proved
hat in heavy acting, as in comedy, he

and Mr.. Bell had the best parts. but
seldom is play seen where all the
smaller parts are responsible ones.
Mr., Tyrrell, Mr. r. Butler and Mr..
all there seemed TO be
built for the characters they de-
lineated. Mr. c. Butler did an excel
lent Chinese comedy part; Pearl Nc.
Cowell played the love-sick widow IN
her usual good manner; and Miss
Davenport handled the small part OF
the Indian girl perfectly-having an
excellent makeup.
All in all, it was not only the best
play yet given by this talented COM
pany, but one OF the very best dra-
matte performances ever given in
Astoria, and is worthy the patronage
Of anyone who can appreciate a work
Of decided worth.

the critics and on account of its
spectacular nature, it was attacked
by the sensational clergy, less liberal
than they are today. which latter fact
