BREAD, OR STONE

When the people Of Astoria put
the Citizens party in power they
besought Of it the bread Of amend
ment, Of economy, of civic equity,
lower taxes, rational improvement,
and profitable administrative poll
cies: Instead, they have received the
sstone" OF negation, of reckless extra
vagance, Of con6seatory ieyies by
tax and assessment; or irrational and
needless improvement, tmuch Of that
incompetently and some Of it wretch
edly, wroughtl; Of stultifying and
hazardous systems Of government,
topped By the Hint-rock Of a public
Indebtedness almost beyond the best
aptitude Of the community ever t.
meet and discharge, except through
years Of rigorous and self-sacrihcing
care and scrupuIous honesty in council
and department. This is the erux Of
the present campaign in Astoria; and
II were well If the thinking taxpayer
and earnest citizen, took the measure
Of this party of reformers according
TO the standards il has set. Hot air
estimates are played out here, now;
the people have had their fll Of so
phistry and evasion and street-corn-
er pabulum; they want figures and
they are going to get them.
There is a line of demareation in
every community fixing the range of
public tolerance, against which no
mans popularity nor the tacit graft
tude Of that community prevail to
pass; Astoria has reached that line,
and the day of accounting is at hand.
A community Of 1900 souls freight
ed with debt Of a million dollars
wrought by the men it has trusted,
has cause TO ponder deeply on the
value of its confidence and endeayor
to fad safer and saner repository
Astorians are about to do this
thing and time and circumstance
and record lend warranty 10 the
change.

and such impediments as those quo,
ted are amenablc TO easy and prompt
qualification If they are but tackled
in the right spirit by both parties,
Grayer obstacles than these have been
brushed aside in the interest OF inn
mense practical development such
as this, and we should not stand up
on the order of our own advantage
one hour longer than is necessary.
We do not care who builds this
road (though we should rather have
seen local money and management
behind ii for the sake Of keeping the
earnings and dividends in our own
midst) SO long as it is built. II is so
essential in the scheme OF Clatsopian
development that it need never be de-
SPARED OF, yet. the sooner it is star
ted, the sooner the requisite energy
may be given to the eorrelative en-
terprises waiting upon it.

and 10 Better their conditloh
Very few carriers have been ad,
yaueed as clerks in the Department
and there Is not great number ot
poStmaSterS or even assistant post
masters, III office now, or even have
been, that have started as letter ear
rierS, What is the reasons Have your
men no ambition to rise 10 the high
er walks Of liiei
think that the reason lies IN 4
different direction, The carriers as
well as others. are not supposed 70
meddle or take part in politics and
as long as offices are used and posi-
,iopS are given as q reward for some
service performed in the interest OF
some political party, Just SO long
win you be deprived from claiming,
aS reward for faithful work, some
position that carries better salary,
Ii has often been said that the Uni.
ted States can not get sufficient
number of young men to enter the
army or navy, and that good, efficient
GALLEY -FOUR
men viii not enlistunder existing CON
ditions. No one can blame them.
What encouragement is there for q
young, well educated man 70 serve
three or FIVE years il the army or ua-
Wy ,lt only units him for civil life,
Now, supposing the Government held
out this as I'm iuducement, Atter 4
man who has served one term in the
army or navy OF the United States,
and is able 70 pass non.commiS-
stoned oihcer's examination, serves,
say, no less than six years in the ar.
my or navy should be entitled to a
position in the Government service
according to his qualification After
serving the Government 4 number OF
years, no less than twenty-five, said
true and faithful servant should re-
ceive a pension for the balance Of his
life.
Such law would induce better ma
terial for the army and navy and a
man with some ambition could see
ahead and be satisfied that the years
he had served his country had NOT
been wasted, but were necessary as .
stepping stone for his future welfare
Such discharged soldier the Gov.
eFnment could depend upon because
il would be 10 his interest to use bis
best efforts TO give satisfaction, be-
cause his future existence depended
on il.
Much more could be said which
would be Of interest, but time i,
short.
II is a great satisfaction to me tc
for you TO get acquainted with on'
another. TO exchange ideas; a better
feeling win come to you, because
you had chance to press the hanc
OF a co-worker in welcome anC
friendship.
You will be able to go back to you
work more satisfied in your mind, be
cause you know that the best wish
es Of others, not only OF your brothe
carriers but of all good men that yo'
have come in contact with will fol
low you; your heart may be conten
and happy because you know tha
your work has been done faithful,
and true to the best Of your ability
I hope and trust that success in al
your undertakings will favor you il
all your future walks OF life.

AGAIN
DISPLAYS ACTION
OF WEAKNESS
No Improvement Realized in
Stocks and Trading Is Re-
stricted Considerably.

The New York Stock Market opened
today at about last nights closing
prices in some securities, while in 9TH
ers the opening was from u to * of
a point lower. The prices and the
general inactiveness in trading al the
opening were considered favorable
prospects by the bear element. During
the latter part of the first hour stocks
ran off from y of a point TO a point,
and then became quiet and temporar-
lily inactive.
During the last hour of the session
further weaknesses were noticeable all
%throughth e list, with particular weak
tendencies in Reading. Union Pacific,
Copper and Shelters, Southern Pacific.
Baltimore and Ohio and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit also came in line for
a share of the bears attention. There
seemed nothing in particular to cause
the weakness except rumors of what
would and would not happen by the
clearing house statement. The gen.
eral belief, however, was that the lack
of public interest in the market and
general business conditions looking I'M
favorable, were influencing factors.

WANTS $75O,OOO
Especial to the Evening start

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-rhe Inter
state Commerce Commission wants
about $780, 900 with which to carry on
the work of investigating the accounts
and financial methods of the railroads.
Whether it will be granted by Congress
depends on the general disposition of
hat body toward this type of legisla-
ton.
If the appropriation is made there is
no doubt about the commission pro-
ceeding at once to perfect the system
of supervision of accounts of railroads
provided for under section 20 OF the
Hepburn bill. The commissions de-
partment of accounts and statistics has
been at work for a year and a half on
a scheme of accounting, and this week
is expected to see the practical con-
summation of the task. The commit
tee of twenty-five of the American Rail
way Accountants Society is working on
Inc last schedule, which will be issued
as instructions to the railroad account
ing departments as soon as they are
perfected. This committee has been
meeting at intervals, some of them
short, for twenty months.

HILL ON EARNINGS.
Railroad President Repeats His
Earlier Prescription.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-James ]. HUI.
chairman of the board of the Great
Northern Railway, arrived in New
York yesterday from St. Paul and
stated that the coming summer would
show a decrease in railroad earnings
over last summer.
81 am not so much of an optimist,'
be said, "as to predict that railroad
earnings this summer will not be be-
low those of last summer. / am sure
Chat they will be. But there are more
people In this country today thar ever
before, and they are people of fair in
te%lligence. What the country needs
now is rest. Let it have rest and let
q stop be put to this ghost dancing
and everything will work out all
right"
Commenting on the earnings of the
Great Northern, which a few days ago
mported a large increase in gross earn
ings for the month of January, Mr.
Hill said that it had to be borne in
mind that comparison was being made
With the same period last year, whel
The road was greatly Handicapped Joy
an unusually eve winter.
MIR. Hill. in reply to questions, All
that he could not foresee how Ions
present conditions would last.
IF I knew" he said. 81 would be glad
to tell you. But l cannot predict how
long it will be before things WI right
Themselves"
