ToDAY'S ASToRIAN.

The management OF the Morning
Astorian is putting forth, this morn
ing, 4page edition Of the leading
public print of this city and section
that is credit to the community:
valuable commentary on the utilities
and commerce Of Oregon and the
Northwest that should be hailed by
the interested stranger, as we'll as the
native, as among the best expositions
OF the advantages of the lower CO.
lumbai Valley, seen for many a day.
The regular edition of IL pages is
devoted, as usual, to the news of the
hour, in all its varied phases, from all
sources abroad and from home and
the other 81 are dedicated to an ac-
count of every conceivable element of
interest on the commerce, industry
business, and institutions of Astoria
and her allied territory, in the clearest
and most comprehensive way pos
sible. Nothing of actual Importance
in all this country has been overlook
ed, and all has been treated justly
and conservatively and with an espe-
cial aim to yielding the most and best
information, obtainable from reliable
sources, to the investor and home
seeker who has Oregon, Clatsop
county, and the city of Astoria in
his minds eye.
Time, talent nor expense have been
regarded in the compilation of this
paper. 1t is sent out as the best ex-
preston of things that are, here
about, from an Office that is actuated
by unquestioned loyalty to this city
and county and state, and the hope
goes with it that it will serve, in some
measure to react favorably on all
three departments of the common
wealth.

THE SUBMERGED Law.

San Francisco, her convicted bood
lers and the appellate court OF Cali
fornia, collectively. are furnishing tn,
people OF America one OF the raves
and boldest examples Of the law, sub
merged. and lost. in technicalities
ever known to man.
After long months and years ol
carefully planned and executed
courses of prosecution by men
thoroughly equipped for the work,
with hundreds Of thousands OF dollars
poured out like water by other men
who were inspired to the task by the
cleanest and most patriotic motives,
convictions and penalties were reach
ed that were deemed salutary and OF
exceeding value to the city at interest
as well as to the whole Pacific Coast.
And now comes an edict from pail
pably inspired sources that divests
the victory achieved OF its essense
and excellence; decision wrought of
hne-spun and fiimsy technicalities
that will not bear the faintest touch
OF honest analysis nor the scrutiny of
honest inquiry into the motives that
put them out.
The law is in the market with a
vengeance and is fast bidding the
popular clamor for justice and the
rejrisals wherewith it alone is charg-
ID. The common folks OF today are
beginning to realize that the law is
not for them; that its authority and
bower and largess are for the men
With money enough to pay for its |
echnical transmutation into shield |
md buckler for detected scoundrels:
md some day that WEAKNESS will find
Expression in terms and acts that |
hall be a law unto the people until
he purity and justice and strength of
ne organic law is restored and the
web Of shameless sophistry and dick
ring in which it is now submerged |
hall be torn aside and rent to shreds
efore the very rage OF a people
ndone.

THE $1,000 LICENSE.

There is doctrin gaining ground
throughout the East that the saloon,
as a business element, will become
vastly more tolerable, morally, and
much more profitable to its owner, if
1t shall pay an annual license of
$1,000, in lieu of the lesser sums now
universally exacted throughout the
country. And if the rule proves
efficacious there, it will be just as
good for the West; and Astoria being
OF the West, the subject becomes one
OF interest here.
With her so saloons, Astoria has
one for each 800 of her people, which,
in itself, is too restricted a margin;
and when this is reduced by the
elimination Of, approximately, $50
children and so wives and mothers,
the residium Of 100 men to patronize
each saloon, curtails the reliance of
the business to group so small that
extraordinary indulgence, and practi-
cally common drunkenness, must make
up the paralyzing shortage that else
would ensue.
These are the conditions that make
against the saloon as business.
There are two powerful agencies al
ways at hand with the people for the
checking Of this evil, to-wit, high
license and prohibition. OF the two,
many prefer the former because it
provides the instant and positive
standard Of regulation, without hav-
ing recourse to the sumptuary and
sweeping structures imposed by the
latter; and we believe that go saloon

THE TWO FRONTS.

Our people should not forget tha
there are two fronts to the beautiful
bay that lies at our doors; the. land
front and the waterfront.

not change it if we could. 1t is /;
fixed and universal delight to all men

gratifes every sense and ideal VIZ
cherish.
But the view the other way around
is quite another thing; that is, the
near-view from the channels that pass
close to the dock-lines; it is simply
hideous; disgrace to the community
and patent confession that we are
without pride and spirit enough to
get in and clean up.
We hear of it often, far too often
from sources that might as readily
say something very much pleasanter
and more to our credit if we but gave
cause for it as amply as we furnish
grounds for the adverse comment
And it is high time we were going
about our business of making this
change. It is up to us, generally
speaking, and up to the property
owners there, primarily and specif-
cally.
1t there is not charter authority
enough in the present organic law Of
the city, then we had best amend that
instrument to point that will give
the common council power to do this |
work at the cost of the property and |
enforce its orders. AS general thing |
we would avoid prescriptive rule as |
liable to misconstruction and abuse:
Dut there are times and persons sus-
ceptible to no other system of con-
troll; and the good of the public is
bigger thing than the purse of
Negligent, or penurious, owner, who
contributes deliberately to the dis
credit and disfavor of the city.
AS mere starter, we suggest that,
1t least, the rotting, falling, and aban-
doned buildings, docks and piling,
black, ragged, valueless, and hideous,
DC torn out and done way with, by
commission appointed by the council,
DR. on the initiative of the people, or
oy any other competent authority;l
Ind that no time be lost in the doing
'f it. 1t will be a winning card for
Astoria to have these things out of
light when the tens of thousands of
'isitors flock in here this summer,
cores and hundreds Of whom have
'een here before and will note the
adical improvement and comment on
to the certain god of the city. |;
