THE GREAT DIVIDE"

A rare treat is in store for discrini-
mating playgoers,
After two years of eager expect
ancy the local lovers OF good drama
are at last to see what the leading
critics Of America have so widely
heralded as "the long awaited great
American play" Contracts have been
signed, sealed, and delivered, whereby
the management Of the Astoria thea
tire may definitely announce "The
Great Divide" on tomorrow night.
The attraction is under the personal
direction OF Henry Miller, the dis
tinguished actor-manager, who has
been presenting William Vaughn
Moody's phenomenally successful
drama of American life for over 500
nights at the Princess and Daly's
Theatres, New York. to such unpre-
cedeuted business that a road tour
was out of the question heretofore.
A superb company are now touring,
and the entire production, with COM
plete scenic equipment, will be given
here precisely as presented for two
seasons in the metropolis.

RETIRES WITH HoNoRs.

Hon. Herman Wise, ex-mayor OF As
cora, retired from the official field in
possession of distinct honors and
practically no ~eome-backss to annoy
him. He has won the favor Of the
community over which he presided
for three yeats; and 10 the pronounc-
cd satisfaction of the people without
respect to party affiliation, because
what he has done was for the whole
people, whom he was large enough 70
consider at all times. 1t takes a man
10 compass this sort Of thing.
He has had much to contend with,
including a council that was not any
too amenable to decent leadership, as
to its majority, and he had to fight
for most Of the triumphs he won; but
he had the decent people OF the city
him at all times as well as the press
and that sort Of backing usually wins
ont. One Of the attributes that made
Mr.. Wise successful as an executive,
was his ability to realize and recog-
nize a plain hint when it was given
him; he did not assume to be the
@whole thing" though as far as his
associates on the council went, as to
the majority, of course, he came
mighty near being it.
There is not man in the city but
who viii wish him the best measure
of success, and peace, and gratifea-
sion in his quieter field of endeavor;
and he has what few men possess, i
right to believe that the day may
come when the people may call him
back to their service, in default Of
other dependable choice. He was al
an excellent mayor just as he is an
excellent citizen.

SUPER-SENSITIvE SOULS.

There are. in Astoria, as in other
lively communities, men who are SUI
per-sensitive about newspaper COM
ment, They are always glad Of the
friendly paragraph or story in which
they figure, however much they may,
by way of moek-modesty. deprecate
the public mention; they are rarely
Iaverse to the pleasant note and
comment in which they or theirs are
paraded in kindly fashion, and there
have been instances Of real gratitude,
felt and expressed, for the saving
grace Of the public-prints when some
of the graver episodes Of life have
confronted them. But, once hale
man within the range Of newspaper
criticism, direct. or implied. and he
grows venemous with hate and inco-
Therent with rage at the liberty taken
with his name or relation to the mat
ter under review.
1t is one Of the farces of life, and
the newspaperman has grim appre-
ciation Of it that veges near the mark
Of contempt when he scans his gem
eral treatment of men and finds them
so helplessly and hopelessly childish
For be il known, that in all the rela-
tons paper assumes with its read
ing patronage, the personal equation
is the one most religiously observed
at all times; mistakes will often oc-
cur; but in the main they are caught
on the long line Of careful scrutiny
that pervades a newspaper Office and
before they are uttered in cold black
and white. There is justification oi
some kind behind every personal
mention and allusion in a responsible
newspaper. This must be remember
ed at all times, in justice to the pub
lie, the person, and the paper.
There is one way Of suppressing
the super-sensitiye soul who cannot
stand the counter-point of jour
naIistic animadyersion, and that is to
bar all mention Of him under any and
all circumstances; this is a cruelty
seldom resorted to, but always avail
able; and often as editors and report
Iers are tempted to use it, they, as
often, refuse to probe, or fatter, the
vanity, that has brought the individ-
ual under such contemplation. The
paper is a creation Of a day, and in
its absorbing processes and high du-
ties, it rarely stoops to the pitiful al
ternative, choosing the pleasanter
task Of forgetting.

THE CURTIS ORDINANCE.

Councilman c. J. Curtis is to the
fore with plain, busines-like, sensi-
bic ordinance for the governing Of
the expenses Of this city and making
them amenable to the viii and scru-
tiny Of the committeeman as we'll as
the chairman Of the several commit
tees. The arbitrary rule that has
fourished in this city since time
immemorial, permitting the mere
dictum of chairman to prevail in
the final disposition of every account
and claim, big and little, that arose
against the city, has cost this com
munity vast deal Of money that was
needless, and any law that will cir.
cumscribe the folly and minimize the
waste should pass instanter.
The new council is going to be
sharply gauged by its action on just
such bills as this; and we hope for
the credit Of the city and council,
that no antagonism will be shown thu
measure. Else we shall be forced to
conclude that the post Of councilman,
in some instances here, is no sort Of
an honor, but rather a means to an
end that is discreditabie, if not
worse. We are speaking plainly, be-
