"c1Ts" ON THE RUM

The "Citizens'," with Hon. A. NJ
Smith setting the active pace, are "on
the run" For once they are up
against state Of affairs they can
not renig on and the people are
awake to the peril Of continuing
them in Office Knowing this, and
making no open answer to it, the
"Spenders" are silently, and despair
inglX at work trying to Save their
bScon."
They started the campaign with a
convention that blasted every claim
to honest consideration among the
voters and leaves their leader and his
cohorts open to every political chal-
lence that can be sounded among
decent civilians. No one wonders al
the helpless scare that besets them;
it is widely understood now, of all
men, and the only surprise expressed

WHAT WILL IT BRING'

Every great fundamental public i'm.
provement, such as the proposed sea-
wall for Astoria, has some huge and
compelling motive behind it; some in
spring, promising, profitable predi-
cate; some vast and compensating
reason, such as the certain expansion
Of commerce, OF industry, OF business,
Of supreme advantage, Of communal
superiority and public service That
is, every one we ever knew Of, ex-
cept the Smiths Seawall bill THAT
is before the people without a single
plea OF utility. of universal advan-
tage, or Of understandable reason,
save the undenied desire Of It's back
ers for chance to spend some more
Of the peoples money; and, barring
the one fact that such an enterprise
would furnish forth work for hun
dreds of laborers, and mechanics,
which is, Of course, desirable end, in
itself, everything else being equally
expedient, it does not offer a solitary,
tenable claim to the honest support
of local voters
There is a time for all such great
things as this; but this is not time
to even contemplate such an extrava-
gance Owing over a million. and
committed to that obligation, Astoria
viii not dare vote the second million
on her people II would be civic sui
eide, pure and simple. For this rea-
son alone it viii be defeated next
Wednesday and for no other Il
bears no promise save that Of wild,
unremunerative debt, in addition to
the unbearable load now depressing

Mr.. FoLEY'S MESSAGE.

The Budgets answer to Mr., Foley's
letter in yesterdays Morning Astor-
ian, is on a par with all the rest oi
its pleadings for the "lame duck" it
is so lamely supporting. Mr.. Foley
got his information just where we got
ours, from the Office Of the Auditor
and Police Judge of Astoria, an Of
hce run BY one Of the best men in
the Citizens administration; a man
who does tell one man one thing and
another man another, as the Budget
we'll knows.
The figures presented in these col
umns yesterday morning place the
municipal debt Of Astoria at $780,
482.8s, no more, no less. The city
itself owes that much, and il has no
dependable assets, no marketable-for-
cash offsets OF any kind, as the
Budget knows equally well, since II
has not published them.
We might as we'll face the truth
and tell it. Sophistry and quibbling
are not in it any more. Facts are
facts and figures are figures in a cam
paign for salvation such as this
paper and the taxpayers and righteous
voters are prosecuting. Nothing short
of deliberate Justification can mislead
confuse and confound the voter now
and our evening contemporary will
do we'll to adhere to living facts, since
we all want to live in Astoria, and be
as free from the curse Of mal-adnin-
istration as we may.

There was one happy man il As,

at the Hotel Astor on Duane street,
IA Mr., Bolts,
Mr. Bolts had occasion to send
some linen to the Troy laundry early
in the day and the lot included pair

he received a telephone call from
Manager c, A. Burlingame, Of the
laundry asking him to call there at
once on matter Of Importance, Mr.,
Bolts called inStauter,
"Mr, Bolts, what laundry did you
send to this establishment this morn.

why, ] sent.er this and that and

"Well, how do you carry your

"That's what we did, Mr.. Bolts, and
we sent for you 70 hand il back in

FIGURES DO NOT LIEF

The Astorian has presented the
taxpayers and voters Of Astoria with
q plain statement of their city's 6nan-
eial condition, and it should be ample
to nerve them for an aggressive fight
against the agencies that have con-
tributed to the threatening condition.
Figure do not lie, howsoever glibly
politicians may. They are depend
able always and those we have Civ
en- are from the public records OF the
city and departments and county and
viii not decrease nor increase with
any sort Of inspired sophistry They
exist as actual results Of mis-gov-
eminent on the part of the Citizens
party, and despite all the good that
may be said in behalf Of the inn
provements that administration takes
credit for, the figures are still inn
periously and glaringly true.
They do not make pleasant read
ing, either at home, nor abroad; but
they are justified in open print by
their very scope and meaning. The peo-
pie cannot know these things unless
they are told and the Astorian tells
the simple truth for the public good,
and in order that no man may plead
ignorance at this critical hour.
The city Of Astoria, with its l5,-
600 people and its debt Of over one
million dollars, stands for a per capita
obligation Of 1855, including its
very babies, and that should be
enough to stir the civic sense Of dan
ger to the widest and quickest scheme
Of relief, than which there is none
better, nor more opportune, than
vote for the full Republican ticket at
the city polls on Wednesday next
Any other choice, at that time, will
but fasten the incubus on the com
munity and increase it to the point
of destruction. The hour is at hand
for breaking the grip of the "Spend
ers" and save the city its credit
among men Of affairs in every rela-
finn

breaking point are lessons that will
not be forgotten in a hurry. but will
be remedied in hurry and with CON

cable thsorist, viii not hesitate to
save their city from the NAV Of the
"Spenders" and the law Of paying
