OVER A MILLION Nowi

We do not believe there are ten
men in the hundred in this city who
are aware Of the stupendous fact
that the property wealth Of this mu-
nicipality il already chargable with,
practically, $4,000 Of public in
debtedness; and interest charges AZ
S ana s per cent; that there is inn
perative necessity for increasing this
fearful load BY over $s2s,000 during
the coming year to perfect and main
tain the pubiiy agencies already es-
gabIished here; and that Astoria
stands irrevocably. the sponsor for
1t all.
No city in all this land, Of her size
and population, is burdened to any
such extent as this; and this fact
alone IS enough to refute the insult
offered this public in the open letter
Or A. M. Smith III Tuesdays Budget,
that the 'mossbacks" Of Astoria are
responsible for her lack Of develop
ment Such bill Of costs as this
tells Of no @mossbaekism" in AS
foria; but rather proclairns her a
city willing to spend its money like
water for Improvement, even 10 the
yery verge Of shattering her public
credit.
These figures are but approximate,
for the time being, and they win be
given with exactitude in the course
Of 4 few days and in tabulated form,
80 there viii be no chance for mis-
understanding the gravest problem
thas ever confronted this people. We
are not eager to publish these things
to the outside world. but the imme-
diate safety Of the city forces our
hand, and we do not usually hold
back when there is need for eandor
and honest expression.
The trouble has been that there
was not enough of popular interest
TO inquire into this growing evil in
time to check the outrageous accu-
mulaion, but, thank Heaven, there is
time enough and votes enough, TO
put the iron pressure Of business re-
trenchment at work, and it going to
Be done.

COURTS NOT OPEN.

Let every man in this city remem.
Der, when the hour comes for casting
his vote against the million-dollar
seawalI bill, foisted on this com
munity BY A. NJ. Smith and the coun-
Gil charter commission, that his
negative vote is justified on the
simple, and dangerous hypothesis
that the courts OF the land are closed
to the people who pay for this wall,
but are wide open to the commission
that might be appointed TO carry II
through Every clause and proyis.
ion OF the measure now under con-
sideration, sets this fact up in un-
equivocal terms, and the scheme is
to prevent interference by the peo-
pie after the work shall have Started.
II is on a par with every other line
of action the present administration
has pursued in the arbitrary course
Of piling up the public debt Of this
city and the sooner il is understood
the better.
When the day comes for the
building of a seawall along the
waterfront of Astoria las come it
will), it will be done upon an ascer-
tanned and understandable basis, as
to route, quality, cost, grades, dis
tricts, and all the facts precedent to
its construction, before the people
are committed to hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars Of bonds and assess
ments.
Remember, you Astorians who
will have to pay for this thing, that
once you commit yourself TO the
huge proposition, you have no re-
course in law against the operations

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME.

To the trained observer of life it is obvious that criminals are not on the whole to blame for their Viscious career
 For twenty-five years, as a police reporter in New York. l saw all the wickedness of depraV- ed human nature, says Jacob Riis in the May Delineator l saw a seemingly intending pro cession of young rascals so the police had stamped them and the record on the station house blot bore them out-poing from the slums through the Wicked-gate of the Tombs 10 the prison and to the gallows, and 1t was a sight to discourage any one whose hori- zon was limited by our earth life. The chill of it abides with me yet. But behind it all made out also what it was that had de- prayed their poor human nature. and that the responsibility laY with us who let it be. who neglect of the neiqhbor that had fallen among thieves was to blame fof it all.
