w tSte a $foMt. ASTOBIA. OREGON: SUNDAY... ..NOVEMBER 11 1&91 A NEW HOTEL. In general the law of supply am demand works reciprocally. A de mand exists and the supply is fur nished. But there are exceptional cases where the usual conditions are reversed, and the supply creates the demand. "While it is unwise to be premature or extravagant, IhE-jsto-kiak believes that present and prob able future conditions in this city war rant such reversion. "We believe that a large hotel is one of the prime necessities in this city. This without any reference to the pres ent hotels, which are excellent. The kind of a hotel we refer to is one that would cost 100,000 or $125,000, and would be to Astoria what the Tacoma is to Tacoma, or the Portland is to Portland, or the Eainier is to Seattle: a big advertisement of the place. With the exception of a good news paper, nothing so aids the growth, de velopment and prosperity of a place as a first class hotel. The hoteljnust be a little ahead pf the place, but un less rapidly enlarged, the place scon grows ahead of the hotel. For some time the Taooma was about all there was to Tacoma, but that town has grown up to the once big hotel and away beyond it, and that famous hostelry is to-day only one of a .dozen-enormous caravansa ries, in that enterprising city to the north of us, all doing a big business, the town helping them, and they helping 'the town. The building of the "Tacoma" hotel was the biggest bit of enterprise and the best paying investment the enterprising citizens of that live town ever engaged in. Their action and the action of other go-ahead communities in this regard, is a good example for us to follow. If we had such an institution people would be attracted to the place, and upon going away would be walking advertisements of this enterprising city, and its great hotel. That is what we want here as much as we want anything; people to come here, and when they go away to go satisfied and advise their numerous friends not to neglect to visit Astoria. Such a hotel as we recommend would double the business of every hotel in the place, inside of a yearj that is, in a year each hotel in Astoria by reason of that hotel being here, would be doing double the business it is doing to-day. "Would it pay? Of ceurse it would, and handsemely: If this were simply a boom town, to be -worked for all it is worth, and then left to the bats and barnacles, human and otherwise, it would be a questionable investment. But with our great resources, and un; 1 doubted prosperity there is not the slightest question in our mind that such an enterprise as is here suggested would be a financial success from the word go. We have a climate at least equal, if not superior, to any in the United States; winter is now beginning in seven-eighths of the country, while spring is justbeginninghere. Ahotel such as we advocate, would annually bring 50.000 visitors attracted by our climate and the facilities our hotel afforded for enjoying it. People like to be comfortable, and are willing to pay for it. As a matter of fact, Astoria air, last summer, saved the lives of five hun dred children brought here from the interior, and who would have perished had it not been for their parents' timely visit here with them. Every natural consideration 'points to the advisability, and we may almost say the necessity, of such a hotel in Astoria. Faith without works is dead. What we do, shows the measnre of our be lief. The great merchant prince, A T. Stewart, had this for Ins motte: 'be cautious; be bold." A. due meed of cautious boldness suggests the use in this city of all the auxilliaries that op portunity, advantage and experience place in our hands. THE MOUTH AND THE PAPER. Queer world this! A lawyer and an editor stood on a street corner irran Ohio town and saw a man murdered in cold blood. The murderer is a rich man and after committing the deed he said to the lawyer and editer: "Here is a thousand dollars for each of you; defend me before the court and the people for the crime I have commited." Ihey took the money and defended him in their own way and according to their own profession the editor through his paper and the lawver through his mouth. The murderer, through their joint efforts, was acquit ted. But see the difference mark the result. The people said: "The editor is a scoundrel and did so for .pay. Lo! we will stop his paper and not patron ize him!" The paper was stopped the editor ruined financially and re duced to a pauper. But of the lawyer the people said: "He is an able man, deeply learned in the law, and deserves great credit for having obtained the acquittal of a man guilty of murder! We will give him our law business and pay big fees." They made him a judge, and as such he sent his part ner, the editor, to the workhouseand said he was a bad man, and should not only be deprived of the means of liv ing but punished. We don't endorse the act of an edi tor in laboring for what is wrong, or against what is right, for money but how about the lawyer? Leaven worth Times. We find the above floating through our exchanges, without comment, but "with a quasi endorsement that shows a belief in the truth of the sentiment and the justness of the manifest con clusion that a newspaper is or should be governed by the same rules of eth ics that are supposed io control the 'practice of the law. The .argument If argumajntofc,may be ed is that because a lawyer Itakes money to- de fend a criminal that a newspaper is supposed to be, or ought to be, justi fied in doing the same thing. The mistake lies in the assumption that the cases are parallel They are not They are at right angles. A law yer is a paid advocate. His-services are for sale. And it is so generally understood. A newspaper, if it is anything, is the public voice, the ex pression of public opinion, and is so viewed by the general public. This general public puts a certain degree of confidence, for this reason, in what a respectable newspaper says. A be trayal of this confidence weakens the influence of the newspaper. No simi lar confidence is placed in the plead ings of a lawyer. They are avowedly pleadings, and nothing more. He does the best he can for his client, w perfectly justified in so doing. If he did otherwise, he would be false to his client, and reoreant to the "vow he takes on being admitted to the bar. The abovextractrfrom the Leaven worth Times has been copied intq hundreds of newspapers on this coast- during the last three months. We are tired of seeing it. Those who approv ingly copy it tacitly endorse the mis taken and degrading sentiment it conveys. In dqing wMWie did .the Ohio law yer dihlpriecllyTight, and the Ohio editor dfd 'perfectly wrong, and it the LeavenworthtTim'es tells the truth, itwasa-goocfihihg if the sheriff did sell him out and the devil get him. It served him right. The distinction is clear and plain, and should be made and maintained. If death terminates man's conscious existence, it will be alike to the most prosperous sinner and to the most self-sacrificing saintafter'the-termin-ation of this earthly scene, i. e., both will sleep the sleep of unconsciousness, in which neither will be the better nor the worse for their works done here. .'A striking example will form the best illustration of the force of this argument for a future state of retribution. Of all theisiihirs bf the first French revolution,p;erWps noqe was more detestiblo than "Fouche. Yet, by his adroitness, he succeeded in evadujg every danger which en gulfed Ms comrades in iniquity ;"and, after a prosperous life, he died quietly in his bed. The crimes which this man perpetrated were unutterable. Yet he .filled office under the directory, which he betrayed; became the chief minister of police under Napoleon L, whom he betrayed likewise; and fin ally succeeded in- forcing himself as prime minister on Louis XVIII., after haying voted for his brother's death and-after having had a hand in nearly every crime which had been perpet rated during that terrible period. On Ihe other hand, no one holds a highe r place in thernoble-army of. sacrificers in the causa of humauity, with the single exception of his Master, than the apostle Paul; yet after a life spent in toil and suffering, he perished by the ax of the executioner. Yet, if there is no hereafter, aud if the only reward of self-sacrifice and the only punishment of crime are those which happen in the present life it would have been far better to have been Fouche than Paul, a conclusion with which jiQ.sane'man will agree . A fast limited mail train will be es tablished to-morrow, whereby passen gers and mail will be carried through from Chicago to Portland and r San Francisco, making the time from Chi cago to Portland eighty-three hours, and Chicago to San Francisco eighty- five hours. This will redu.ee the time heretofore -made on the Chicago and Western, as well as on the New York and Eastern mail, seven hours, and to San Francisco twelve hours. The arriving time of tins nBWtrainbeing 6:40 A.itPortlfmd 'and 10:45A.k.' at San Francisco, instead of in the evening as heretofore, tmsv maTces'the practical delivery of maitetwenty-four hours earlier.

DAERIN'S ART Of treating diseases by electricity is, like many other good things in medi cine, not new, but its principle of ac tion is so little understood that its em ployment at the present day jnakes it practically a new discovery.
