0) SIic gattg iiovm ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY. ..MAY IS. 1SS7 WOTS THE WODDS? The Astokiax is in receipt of a letter "pitching into" the salva tion army, and expressing surprise that this paper doesn'c condemn them. Our corresp.ondent has a perfect right to privately and pub licly condemn the salvation array if he wants to; Tut this paper de clines to enroll itself among the adherents of a system of religion that damns the ninety and nine and saves the one. "We do not believe in the salvation army nor its methods, and we look with doubt upon many of its profes sions, having heard and read nu merous statements to the effect that the whole business is a huge money making scheme for the f nunder and leader of the outfit; but if they can save one soul in Astoria, it is not our province to hastily condemn it. Let them alone; if you don't like them, stay away; don't notice them, but don't condemn them prematurely. "We are told that "there is more joy in heaven over one sinner that doetn penance than over ninety and nine that go not astray." We are glad to know that our correspond ent is one of what Bobby Burns would call the "uncou good;" pleased to find that he is one of the ninety and nine that have staid in the fold, but if these "Sal vationists" go screeching around looking for the hundredth sheep, let him not "bleat disapproval. One soul is probably as good as another, as souls go, and if the whole business of soulsaving is what is represented, and quantity and abundance is what is aimed at, what's the difference, so enough are saved to fill the Heavenly Mansions? Quality doesn't seem to cut any figure in the scheme; if the soul of a Christian Hotten tot is more precious than that of a sceptic Huxley or Darwin, and if the salvation army can gather in believers and snatch brands from the burning, is it not to be looked upon as an aid and co-laborer in the great work of saving sinners? MUTE SYMBOLS. AYe are so accustomed to vocal forms of speech that we sometimes do not realize that there is a lan guage which utters no sound, yet which speaks to the heart as no spoken words can do. What public crier standing on the door step could proclaim with more pathetic eloquence -that death had stricken a household than the bit of black that flutters from the door knob? And, when a snow white ribbon floats with the black, are words needed to explain its touching significance? The mute colors that we fly from our flagstaffs, our mastheads, speak a universal language and appeal with the force of liberty and law. The glance of an eye may tell more than our bravest words. The accused man may vehemently pro test his innocence, but the testi mony of his face may be his own worst accuser. The falselj blamed, without word of mouth, may win her freedom by the soul purity that proclaims itself in her sinless face. A host may bid us welcome with well turned phrase; but, if we do not read that welcome on his countenance it is as though he .spoke not. A reassuring smile to the timid child may be better than a volume of praise, or a disapprov ing frown be worse than a torrent of fault finding. Many people would be surprised if, for a single day, they should carefully note how their lives are guided by silent signals. In for mer days in storm and wind the captain screamed his orders through a trumpet to the bewil dered men. To-day, a wave of the hand, a touch of a knob, and in silence the great vessels are guided on their course. Lives that are guided in this quieter way, with fewer words, less demonstra tion, and freedom from vain ejacu- lation attain more dignity and se renity than those which are borne along on a current of "words, words, words." A good manv have heard of "Back Number" Budd, who puts away every day fifty copies of each J New York newspaper to sell them to customers years hence at five hundred to five thousand per cent, profit. It is reported that he once received seven hundred dollars for a single newspaper. Recently he was called upon by some Kansas men, among whom was Senator Ingalls, who asked his assistance in procuring a complete file of the Leavenworth Journal for the two years that it was under the man agement of John Henderson, dur ing the agitation that resulted in the Lecompton constitutional con vention and the establishing of Kansas as a free state. The file was desired for the Kansas histor ical society, and they were willing to pay ten thousand dollars for it. Mottoes for Bu.slne.is Men. We have prepared a set of notices for Dakota business men. to be hung up in their offices to save talk and lubricate matters generally. They are neatly printed with type standing ten inches high and well-propor tioned, on heavy cardboard of a bright, crushed-5'ellow-dog tint. The set includes the follewing: "1 am Kot Out Here for ray Health."' "This is My Busy Day." "I am Something of a Liar Myself." "I Came to the Territory the Fall before You Did.'1 "Funeral of the Last Agent at 3 p. jr." "I am Raising a Fund for a Public Improvement Myself." "Yes; it is a Very Hot (or Cold) (or Rainy) (or Dry) day." "I, also, Have Real Estate I Wish to Sell" "Yes, I Don't Care if I do Step Out and Have Something, Colonel." Da kota Bell. Brace Up.
