DUE COURSE OF LAW.

Not in many long day has the
law run its high and effective course
in Astoria as it is running just now.
The spirit Of inquiry, exact ascertain
ment, and enforcement are in the
air, and kept active and effectual by
prosecuting officers who know their
business and are not neglecting it; by
a grand jury that is really seeking to
DO its first duty by the people who
summoned il, and by judge who is
equal to any and all presentments
made to him by both agencies.
This example of the "due course Of
law" has been sorely needed here and
will do an immense amount of good;
not alone in the cases where it spec.
cihcally impinges, but upon the cor
relative points and people who have
been peculiarly remiss in the dis.
charge Of given legal duties; who
have been at some pains to ignore and
neglect the law and those of its
transgressors who have possessed
little influence, political and other
WISE" and it will carry forth the es-
sential conviction that there is still
something left to the code of the
State, even if the ordinances of the
city do not amount to much.
It will go far to clear the Astoria
atmosphere Of a lot Of "motes and
beams" that have gravely affected the
official vision hereabout, and lend a
practical hunch to some sluggard
souls who have Slept upon" their Of
fetal rights as we'll as upon the COM
mon rights Of the people. We want
no prosecutions, We would have no in |
justices; we seek no stress and strain |
of the law; but for years We have
prayed for a decent application of
the laws Of the State, in certain direc-
tons round about Astoria, and at
last we are answered squarely and di-
rectly. It is an excellent thing in
more ways than one, and the people
are genuinely thankful for it.

KEEP OUR HANDS OFF.

After having handed down de-
cision defining the boundary line be-
tween the States Of Oregon and
Washington in the Columbia river in
an action brought for that express
purpose by the States named, the
Supreme Court Of the United States
has now rendered a decision abso-
iutely abrogating the constitutional
claim Of Oregon to sovereignty over
the whole of that stream and declares
that her authority extends to the
boundary line named, and no fur
ther. This is full and final and the
edict reaches us over the prostrated
rulings of every court in this State
through which the issues of the Chris
Nielsen case passed. There can be no
subsequent contention in either Of
the premises upon which these per-
emptory rulings have been made, and
we have but to make our laws and
policies conform to their terms, in
the future.
1t is well these matters have been
completely aired and finally settled.
even if the judgment does not fall to
our liking or pre-conception. It is
obvious that huge lot Of pickering,
doubt, confusion; loss in time. money
and trade; hard feeling and useless
reerimination, have been swept from
our paths in the future, and predi-
cate laid upon which the operations
of both States, in the prosecution Of
the salmon fisheries, may be conduc-
ted with more safety. sense and salts.
faction than have been known in
years. II opens the way for new
adjustments Of the issues pending
and eliminates all that is arrogant, ir-
regular and irritating. Washington
does not like the range Of the new
boundary line; Oregon does not like
the circumscription Of her authority;
but the general trend and effect OF
the two judgments must prove bene-
fetal in the end, and that viii compen-
safe for much that has fallen adverse
ly.
With these vast antiquities cleared
away, we can face the new deal in a
fairer spirit and try to get together
on both sides of the Columbia for
better understanding Of the real value
Of the great interests we share and
attain to means and ends that viii
conserve and enhance them.

CITY NOT ABOVE STATE.

There is a healthful tone to the de,
cision handed down from the Su'
preme Court of the State Of Oregon
which denies the right Of city to
administer fat functions with regard
to gambling within its corporate lin,
its. irrespective Of the laws Of the
State made in such case. II is d ruling
that has been needed In Oregon for
many long day: it will 60 farther

administrative action in every sphere

1t took an Oregon legislature to
misconcieve its power sufficiently to
endow any city in the land with dis
tinetive legal function in this relation.
as was done in the case Of North
Bend, and the decision just at hand
should serve as patent rebuke to
those who transcended their authori-
ty as well as a warning to those who
come after.
There is, and has been for many
years, an assinine contention as to
their relative ranges OF authority and
duty, between the shrievalties and
police departments all over Oregon.

decision may have a tendency to

PROTEST AGAINST JAPANESE
BUREAUCRACY.

On the 18th OF January a meeting
OF journalists, representatives and
others was held in Toxic. at which
the following protest against the
Japanese bureaucracy was formula
ted and resolutions denouncing in
reference with the liberty of the
press were adopted:
by virtue Of his majesty, the En-
peror, the people OF the island EN-
pire OF Japan have recently made
such rapid strides that Japan is now
regarded by the Western powers as
the principal factor in all problems
| in the Far East, 1t is. however, a
source Of profound regret TO see that,
since the restoration Of 1868, when
the Emperor actually took up the
reins Of government, the bureaucracy
of Japan has grown in influence to
such an extent that the authorities
remain quite indifferent in regard TO
the promotion Of the interests Of the
people, thereby placing an obstacle
in the way OF the advancement of the
whole nation. Nor is this all Tho
Government has not only taken steps
to discourage productive enterprises,
but has imposed heavy taxes upon
the people Still nobody dared to
raise any objection to the Govern
ment in the matter. The members
Of the Japanese journals and maga
zines who are represented at the
present meeting are, therefore, firm
ly resolved to root out the existing
evils and also to attack the Govern
ment with a view to inducing the
latter to introduce reforms in the Of
fetal organization. There is no deny
ing the fact that, with the exception
of some cases, corruption is rife in
the administration Of the affairs Of
state, as well as in the relations be-
tween the authorities and political
parties; be it, therefore,
Resolved, That those present will
now take the matter up and strive
hard for the betterment Of the malad-
ministration."
The following resolution was also
passed at the meeting:
First-To introduce an amendment
in the rules relating to the appoint.
ment Of officials with a view to re-
forming the bureaucracy.
Second-To amend the election,
law for the purpose of extending the
rights Of the people appertaining
thereto.
Third-To amend the press law
with the object of afording journal
lists further liberty Of speech.
Fourth-To reduce the postal rates
for newspapers and magazines,
A special standing committee was
then appointed to give effect to the
above resolution, and the meeting
then came to an end.
