FRANCE EXPECTS PEACE
THE PRESSURE ON SERVIA.
austrian Wr Preparations Re
gdrded as Factor.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribun'l

Copyright 1893 by The Tribune Association
Paris Oct. 1O-Notwithstanding the violent
blowing Off Of Servian and Montenegrin steam
and in spite Of the mobilization OF three AUS
trian army corps IN Bosnia, Herzegovina ana
Croatia firm confidence continues to prevail at
the French Foreign Office that peace can still
be maintained 1t Is thought that the energetic
frank remonstrances made at Belgrade by rep
resentatives of France. England. Russia and
Italy must convince King Peter and his mlItary
coterie that Servia has nothing TO gain but
everything to lose by forcing hostilities upon
Austria.
Moreover the cast iron determination eN-
pressed. first by Baron Won Aehrenthal at Buda-
pest, and again yesterday by Count kheyenhul-
ler the Austrian Ambassador at Paris, to
overwhelm Servia in case of the first sign OF
aggression, whether by direct attack or, which
IS likely. by the inlltration of Servian
bands across the Bosnian frontier, Is regarded
here as an element not OF war. but OF peace,
which cannot fail to crcumscribe any local ex-
plosons OF the mine and prevent its spreading.
In diplomatic circles e conference of the sig
natory powers of the Berlin treaty is deemed
absolutely necessary not only to ratify the ac-
compIshed facts, but to clear the situation and
secure compensation to Turkey.
Meanwhile Russia has the honest support Of
France in her efforts to obtain free passage OF
the Dardanelles and the Bosporus. At present
the resources OF French and Russian diplomacy
are concentrated upon preventing Servia and
Montenegro from rushing to their own destruc
ton. {. L b.

TAFT LABoR's FRIEND.

The simple truth is that no man
has done more to place union labor
on sound, square, lawabiding, re-
spected and self-respecting footing
than William H. Taft by his decis-
ions in labor cases. Both employers
and employed have acknowledged the
justice of his rulings and learned to
abide by them, and today there is not
an intelligent worker or minded
employer who would seek to abro-
gate them. Judge Taft lifted union
labor from the doubt and uncertainty
as to its rights which had before pre-
vented and gave it a standing which
it has ever since retained, and which
has proved, under his rulings, secure
against all attack. The old assump-
ton, derived from England, that
union labor is conspiracy, and that
workers could be prevented from
leaving railway or other employ
ment at their will, was swept away
forever by Judge Taft, so far as the
United States is concerned, and when
an attempt was made, years later, to
revive the principle, Judge Taffs de-
cision was quoted successfully by the
labor side to deefat the plea. Mr.
Taft was and is labor's friend, be-
cause he is absolutely just, and would
no more permit wrong to be done to
the poorest laborer in the land that
he would TO anyone else. And the
honest, law-abiding worker asks and
expects no more than this.

A CASE IN POINT.

If, before perfecting its bill for
seawall along the Astoria waterfront,
the Council Charter-C Commission had
exercised its judgment and sought to
have preliminary surveys made, show
ing the exact routing Of the wall; its
character, as to materials; its cost,
closely estimated by practical engi-
neers; and definite plans and facts
elected in relation to it as a whole;
if these essential things had been cal
culated carefully and automatically
published, so that every citizen
might have some real and direct
knowledge of them, it is barely pos
sible they would not hear the pro-
testing voices of Alderbrook and

that is alleged to have been drawn

Of the city.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Il am sending Taft to the Philip
pines" said President Mckinley, be
cause he is the broadest and most
unselfshly brave man | know, and
because he will carry the spirit of the
Constitution of the United States in
his very blood" These seem to be
excellent reasons also for sending
Taft to the White House. The Am
erican people will undoubtedly show
on November third that they have
come to that conclusion.

"a constructive statesman" is what
one of the reviewers calls Mr.. Taft.
There could be no higher eulogy, and
none more merited. AS "a construc-
tive statesman" William H. Taft will
do all that President can do to up
build American industry, promote
American prosperity, and aid in de-
veloping the vast and practically un-
limited resources Of the United
States. Construction will be the chief
task of the American people for
many, many years to come, and with
William H. Taft, the greatest con
structive statesman of the age, to
direct the task, the Nation must make
progress in the near future that will
far outdo even the wonderful past.

DO RIGHT, AND FEAR NoTL

The Morning Astorian has been
given to understand that a certain
official hereabout has made up his
mind that the Historian is after
him; in other words, that this paper
is exerting itself to cast discredit
upon him and to make him public
reproach. We deny It'll.
This paper has never, under its
present management gone latter"
any man, in Office nor out of it, in
the sense that it has made it bust
ness to abuse him wantonly, and with
no other purpose than to demean him
among his fellows and neighbors.
But, since the idea is abroad, even in
the mind of one man, it is timely and
expedient to say just what this paper
stands for in relation to Office and
official conduct, and to declare its
purpose to hew to that line whether
it disturbs friend or enemy: This
paper is for the law before it is for
any man or set of men, and the man
who fouts the law either as citizen,
or officer, is going to hear from it
through these columns, whether he
likes it or not. This is our right, and
duty, and province, as a public jour
nal, and the leading print in this sec
ton.
Every officer who is honored by
election to an official trust and is
sworn to the faithful performance of
the duties of that Office, is the last
man to whom the people look for the
neglect, or abuse, Of the laws they
have made. If he sees fit to draw
suspicion, and the contempt that
follows it, to himself by playing fast
and loose with the law, under any
pretense or pretext, he has only him
self to blame for the public illusions
directed his way through the press.
Along with all other citizens, we
claim the right to signify our disap-
proval OF all false and questionable
moves made by any official in the
conduct OF his duties, and to hint to
him the existance of the general dis
trust attaching to him. The man who
does his honest duty as an officer |
has nothing to fear from this paper;
but, on the contrary will find it a
ready and eager champion Of his good |
work, always glad to make good the
record he has wrought in the real in
terest Of the people who elected him.
We are after no man; we are not
in that business; yet we intend, at all
times, to so express the tone and
trend of popular sentiment, as to
warn every official who is under ad-
verse contemplation by the commun-
ity, in order that he may retrieve a
situation that will later become far
more untenable if the warning is un-
needed No man may serve two mas
tiers, and one Of them the people;
however safely he may intrench him
self in the graces Of a graceless few.
