DOMAIN, AND DOMINION.

{ There is nice distinction in these
terms; one that Astorians viii do
well to study closely, this week, and
use in weighing the critical employ
ment Of their franchise, next week
The legal and recorded boundaries
Of Astoria constitute its domain; the
homes and lands and lots and blocks;
the buildings, improvements, fixtures
and appurtenances to the homes, bus
inesscs, and permanent investments
there, owned in fee, by the people in
severalty. stand for the substance ami
quality OF that domain and the merg-
ing Of those private interests into a
communal whole, under the univer-
sal sanction of the owners and the
protection and direction OF the law,
marks and limits that domain.
Dominion over that domain con-
sists Of the right to govern, protect,
and serve it, under the law, for the
separate, and the common, advan-
tage, of every soul at interest, n
such manner as to create the least
possible loss, burden, imposition or
injustice. The people themselves must
ordain the policies that are to con-
troll and conserve their property and
privileges, and name the men to car
ry them out. And in the doing ct
this grave work they deputize their
own primary function in large meas
ures to their servants and represen-
tatives, passing the direct dominion
on to hands presumably able and
honest and confding their massed
interests to the staff of agents they
believe will do the best with the
trust

poRrLAND's MURDERS.

The Oregon metropolis is growing
rapidly and paying the penalty Of
that growth. She is furnishing forth
some Of the foulest murders Of the
day. with almost schedule regularity
and frequency that is not the least
dreadful feature Of the situation.
The Finch Fisher affair is as near
a climax Of this ultra wiekedness as
has ever been turned out there, and
It's perpeirator is without a leg to
stand on as to cause. justification Or
appeal. The whole State revolts At
the cowardly deed and anathemizes
the doer of it. And if hanging does
not come out of Portland pretty
soon, ii will have a reputation de-
servedly foul
1t is presumed that the city pays
enough, in ali conscience, for the
maintenance and effectiveness of its
policing and its courts and there
should Be some returns on this huge
investment; something, to make
murder less feasible, less promising,
less popular; something to indicate
what the law and its courts are there
for.
The courts Of Multnomah have a
case now that invites their peculiar
concern. One of its servants, cham
pion of the law, has been deliberate
" and coldly shot TO death by an
other Of its servants and champions
thus bringing the crucial interest in
the event directly home to bench
bar and Office and necessitating the
answering play Of the balances,
since the law must stand for its own
honor as we'll as for its terrible VIZ
lation.
The people of Oregon will watch
this case with vital interest, consider

ADJUSTMENTS
THE DEVIL.

TIE DEVIL
The Devil is certainly the most re-
markable play OF modern times
produced a few months ago in the
beautiful city of Vienna-its success
was so pronounced and the novelty
Of the idea on which it is written
startled all theatrical centres in
Europe. At once there was de-
mand in London for rights OF the
play and as may be supposed Amerl-
can managers were not found in the
rear Of the numerous producers Of
this entirely new and altogether ex-
traordinary drama Of domestic dew
ilment. The Devil is made as very
observant and a very entertaining
parsonage who dominates society
from the highest to the lowest rung
Of the ladder. He rules people by
suggestion and works his wickedness
in the gentlest Of ways-and people
sees liePs philosophy put in plain
words before their understandings
in such way that the thinking and
the unthinking alike are devoured
with interest in the representation
| In some cities as many as five or six
companies have been producing as
many versions Of this fascinating and
peculiar play-but the version to be
produced by the Blunkall Company
at the Astoria Theatre next Sunday
lis regarded as the very best transla'
ton from the original Hungarian
script. No expense will be spared
on this select production, and the
Blunkall Company are forced to re-
/ fuse the local arrangements request
I to repeat the bill, as the company is
lbooked for all the greater cities ct
| the West before its return to New
York. Remember only one oppor
tunity can be had to witness the rar'
treat 50 we have no doubt that al
the theatre auditorium will be solc
out long before the company arrive
here.
