TIME, AND JUDGMENT.

The initial business meeting Of the
Astoria Common Council in its new
grouping on Monday night last was
very successful and yielded some in.
dications Of business tone and pur-
pose that promise much il adhered to
during the year, Mayor Smiths con-
lstruction Of the committee function
was clever and timely and sensible.
There has been wide complaint Of the
arrogance and assumption, in the
past, Of certain ehairmen, in the hand
ling Of committee affairs, and his in
sistance that all members OF COM
mittee shall exercise right and iudg-
ment in the disposition Of matters
entrusted to them, is a keynote Of
amendment that viii be gratefully
received.
Another feature that invites friend
Ily comment and concern is the evil
dent purpose Of this council not to
rush things. Ordinances, no matter
what their significance, are the laws
of the people in this civic division Of
government, and are entitled to be
fully and carefully considered before
being passed to the records as accept
ed and codifed rules Of action. There
lis no more necessity for speeding
these through the council than for
rushing statutes through the legisla-
ture. Only the most extreme emer-
gency and urgent need for the specific
control Of new ordinance, in the in
terest of the public health or safety,
viii warrant the third reading OF an
ordinance at single session; or per-
haps, the necessity for curing some
grave neglect or threatening laches.
Otherwise, time and judgment, and
deliberation are due and must be glv"
en-, and that the new council takes
this view of the matter is also cause
for approval.
Business is business on Sixteenth
street as well as at any other stand
in all Astoria; and if it is to be done
there on the common, we'll under
stood, effective bases and rules, the
people will be gratihed, the municipal
.itv will be adyantaged, and the coun-
Gil will be commended; three distinct
and desirable ends.

A SPLENDID PRIZE.

The idea Of sending out travelling
parties Of school children, Of the
higher grades, is an excellent PROPOSE
ton and in perfect consonance with
the spirit Of generosity wherewith
America considers and aids the
course Of public education. So far as
we are concerned we would like to
see the scheme become custom. It
need not be abused, and it need not
be extended to those children whose
parents are in a position to give this
splendid advantage to their young
sters after graduation; it may be con-
fined to those successful boys and
girls who are not likely to have any

SwINDLING, A FINE ART.

With the United States Government
nursing 5000 cases of public land
swindling and praying Congress for
a million of money to forward the
necessary prosecutions, it would seem
that this criminal cult is fast assum-
ing fine art proportions, or taking its
place in the professional and business
life as a recognized industry and
acknowledged pursuit. A hundred
Heneys could not cope with such a
situation and the ugly doubt assails
us that the very Government itself is
gravely handicapped in the monstrous
engagement, since there is sharp
sprinkling Of men next and near the
Government and often within its very
circle, influential, unsuspected, to con-
tribute to the "sand-throwing" and
other systems for binding, defeating
and demoralizing Uncle Sam when ne
becomes suspicious, inquisitive and
vengeful.
That the country is subject to a
vast scheme Of chicane and downright
robbery, no man of the hour with a
grain Of intelligence doubts; and the
conviction is closely paralleled with
the reasonable assurance that the
thieves are Sin the saddle" and as
safe as dishonest money can make
them, a pretty secure position wher
one studies the play Of money against
the law in this day and age.

CHAMBERLAIN

George E. Chamberlain has ont
Reneralled the Republican party Of
Oregon and its $1,000 major voters,
He has taken the United States Sena-
torship from under their very noses
and Is, today, the political dictator
Of the commonwealth. This is the
substance of the work done at the
capital yesterday. With seven more
votes than he needed, and upon the
FIRST ballot cast, he attained to the am
bition Of his life, in the face Of every
scintilla Of resistance that could be
offered. There is tremendous les
son in this.
The profound fact confronting the
Republicans Of Oregon is that the
people have ceased to trust the lead
ers that are posing at present and
have determined to oust them and
await the Reorganization of the party
under cleverer and cleaner auspices;
they have watched the party sacrifice
It's principles and people, time and
again, and have wearied of it and
have put the ban Of their disapproYal
on the whole machine in such conclu-
siye fashion as to preclude an early
resumption of its major prestige and
administrative influence, until it shall
be marshalled under the cause and
cail that inspire faith and justify
coalition.
fractional jealousies all over Re
publican Oregon are. primarily, to
blame for the fearful slump; but rath-
er more, are the vicious extremes to
which these factions have gone in
their several efforts to disparage and
defeat each other, at the root Of the
shameful disaster. There is no other
accounting for the reaction.
1t is up to Oregon Republicans to
gradually clarity their own partisan
atmosphere, clean their own skirts,
merge their interests and remember
their State before they hunt for pa
tronage; do those things that make
for party interests first and let the in
dividual ego hang" until its own real
strength, high purpose, and destined
function, are triumphant in the popu-
lar conception and sanction.
