Rumor has it the third newspaper, for daily circulation, is to be started in this city again. Natural)- the As torian is interested in the rumor. But the interest is not wholly selfish, nor the logical and radical conclusion that it will be a failure, pure and simple, as its predece-sors have been. It will be not only an imposition on the estab lished press of the city, but a direvt and palpable levy on the Lu-iws men of A-toria, as well as upon the public and quas-i-public instiutions of the city. Experience has demonstrated that the field is not amenable to such bd enterprise, and the conclusions along this line have been so ample, so con spicuous, so convincing, that the new rumor comes as a surpri-e. If the new venture is merely a political expedient, a campaign make-shift, a transitory, il lusive and unstable proposition, un worthy of support by way of business, private or public, then it were better it were not attempted at all; if it is to Le a permanent, well-backed, genuine and reliable investment by men who really believe it practicable, let it come, end flourish, and take its chances in a field none too large, nor profitable, for the papers already firmly established here; the Astorian will welcome it and lay no stones in its path. But if it is to be the momentary mouth piece of a party, or a faction; the mere mega phonic medium of a clique, the sooner the general public knows it and hedges :BgaiDst its imposition, the better for the community at large. Square and lionest competition has no terror for the Astorian, but the "nibblers", the passing invader, the evanescent "butter in," is entitled to n ither respect nor patronage, and will suffer for both, just as they have in the past. Astoria, in a political sease, is equipped with an evening Democratic paper and a morn ing Republican paper, and the man. 01 men, who shall sUit the third organ, must do so, confc-scdly, or the purpose of wot king for per sonal and ulterior ends, independent ent; of party organs wiiicii cannot he contixilled, and such a predicate is. to saV the lea-t, questionable. Oiie-tiou- able thing- arc liable to semtiny. scrutiny is not always plca-.nit nor profitable, anil profits, material and ethical, are essential in the pics:- world, jis elsewhere. . 0 ASTORIA'S ALRIGHT! Right now, at the very depth of the annual dull season for this city, it is ju-t as well to project one's eye along the route of progress for the current year anil note the possibilities for the city, upon the basis already laid And the pro-poet is not nearly as bad us one tnijiht think it, oniwhli'i ing the dormant isntilitiotis under which the horoscope i-east. There is ; brand new clement at woik lor the irood of the citv ; four well established impiv einont clubs, each with a .li-ttict for which it is iv-poiiM Me, and with plenty to do in the s v era! bailiwicks, The I'hamher of font move has its new otl'urrs fur the jcar mini whom something tangible is look ed tor, and with plenty of live propo sition on its record for quick and into!-lig.-nt operation. The office of the architects ate replete with new build ing schemes that await the opening of the season, and the scope of the new structures involves a number of import ant business houses and the chances are the expenditures in this line will exceed the fcJl.VOOO spent hist year; the city will have a new and comprehensive clrarter that will give far wider scope for improvement next year; there aiv enough railways headed this way, on good solid dirt, not paper, to give sanc tion to the hope for terminal advan tages; we are to have a new hospital, a modern hotel, and a new park, a tine band, an electric railway to Seaside, an amplified water system, an election in .'une with Republican sittve-s-s all down the line; they have struck gas on the Nehalem and this is another fac tor fop a Greater Astoria; dim Hill and Harrinuin have their eyes on the mouth of the Columbia, and the Mottling As torian still lives. Here endeth the first lesson! WILL MODIFY PARCEL POST. It will be of interest to all farmers on the rural routes and to the mer chants generally to know that an agi tation is now lieing started in Wash ington to modify the parcels post bill in such a way that it will not di-crimi-nate against the small town or c;;y business man. and still give the fanner the same service. The measure pro-po-es to have the rural carriers deliver all mail and merchandise up to eleven pounds to their patrons on their respec tive routes, provided the package is mailed at the ollice from which t!u rural route extend. In explanation it is stated that no merchandise that is mailed outside th-1 county in which the route operates can be delivered by the eariiers working a' its destination. This prevents the mail ing of merchandise bv the large mailing hou-es in the larger cities, and will re move the principal objection that has been raised to the general panels po-t bill as originally suggested. For in-daiice, the mail houses of Chi cago can send out goods only through Cook county. The bitim-s houses of Wenona likewise, und-r the new plan, could send merchandise through the mail only to farmers getting their mail through the post-office in town in Marshall county. Under the old plan the bill intended to charge a stamp tax of .one cent an ounce or sixteen r-ents a pound. This price is said to be too hard on the farmer, and it is accordingly planned to make the uniform tax three cents a pound, with no -ingle package weighing over eleven pounds. EDITORIAL SALAD. Ju-t 100 years ago the empire gown was the prevailing style. It wae be coming to nearly all figures, but its long, plain, unbroken folds did not dec orate a pretty woman as does the em pire gown of today with its intricate trimmings of rich laces, bands of velvet and overgowns of chiffon and flimsy stuffs. More than 4,000,000 families, or near ly one-third of the nation, must get along mi incomes of less than $400; more than one half the families get leg titan .j'M); two-thirds of the fami lies jji-t le-s than sitOO, while only one in twenty of the tuition's families is aide to secure an income ,f over .'1000 a year. The I'uiciiu of ( heinistry of the Department of Agriculture is s.iding the I'ost-ofliie Department in controlling the sale of proprietary medicine-.

Any person who keeps hi or her eyes oen knows this Hundreds of lmy and girls are out at night, and we all know that many in flu-noes for evil and none for good ur Pound them continually. The country village store, or cross roads "emporium" is virtually a de partment store in that it sells every thing, and the great city department store is the outgrowth of these country stores. The organization of a great de partment store is well disciplined and is one of the host examples of what or ganization can accomplish and is run by machine methods and each clerk is but a screw, bolt, wheel, or spring of that gigantic engine, and it takes a long time for ability to le recognized. For the first time in the ag", the Chinese, finding themselves unwelcome as immigrants in the United States have turned their attention to V.-xico, where they apear to meet n hearty welcome. The 'Herald," published in the City of Mexico, says of them: As immigrants they are, for the r.iost pait. peaceful and orderly people, giving little trouble to the police of the capital or of the interior cities Yet it is not asserted that the Chinese coining to Mexico are even of the better class of hihoiing people at home .though there are some exceptions. Merchants find t;e indus trious Chinese good cu-toniers and careful of their credit, meeting their bills promptly. On the whole a quite and well-behaved folk.
