AS WE HEAR IT.

The Morning Astorian feels itself
justified, on unimpeachable authority,
this morning in making the broad
declaration that neither Mayor-elect
A. M. Smith, nor Police Commission
er w. c. Logan, arc committed to
an open-town policy. Both gentlemen
have expressed themselves unqual-
iedly as in favor Of police regulation
and holding the city at its present
status on this score. This is good
news to many people who have had
more or less reason to draw other
conclusions in both these grave mat
tiers.
The source OF our information is
Of such a character as to leave the
situation at this pass, until one or
both have signifed their programs
personally, either through these col
umns or other agencies at their
hand.
1t means much to Astoria to know
this. 1t is a matter that lies close
to the public conscience, and this
announcement is made in the faith
that sanctions it.

the first postal service was establish
