ASTORIA'S POSITION.
In the communication signed by "Ob'
server and published in this issue of
the Morning Astorian, there is a tacit
, hint that Astoria is super-aggressive
in the matter of its solicitude towards
railroads and transportation enter
prises generally. In sheer defense
against the possibility of such a con
struction being assumed in the minds
of our readers, we take the opportun
ity of making a deliberate statement of
the actual relation borne by Astoria on
this hugely important issue; that is, as
the Morning Astorian in its position as
a public medium of popular expression
understands its duty:
Astoria, from its rem' situation, at
the mouth of a great river; as the entre
pot of a great metropolis, its contig
uity to the broad Pacific, its own vital
necessities as a sea-port and an export
ing center, is, and mnst be, devotedly
interested ia the widest possible devel
opment of the best, the quickest, the
most direct, frequent, easiest, safest
schemes of transportation possible to
be brought into the State of Oregon
And so far as known this is the actuat
ing principle that governs her people
at all times, in their aspiration to be
fairly and honestly included in these
designs of the great companies forging
the transportation certainties of the
future. This is the simplest and most
straight-forward statement that occurs
to us in this premise, and we Rive it
in all sincerity.
We do not begrudge an atom of suc
cess to Portland or any other eommun
ity in the broad state, if only the right
of Astoria to decent and equitable con
sidemtion in the immense deals is tak
en into account and made something
of; but we resist, and rebel logically
effectual and altogether beyond the pale
and honestly, against the cold-blooded
doctrine that we are small, remote, m
of estimate in the very things that
we know we must figure in at Some not
remote day in the future. We begrudge
the time lost to us, the years wasted
in the waiting for what is, by every
law of commercial development, ours
right now if ordinary equities prevailed
and Portland was less fearful of their
prevalence.
Oregon may be grid ironed with rail
ways until her remotest camp of in
dustry is tapped and made accessible
and resourceful; her every marine gate
way may be thrown wide open to the
largess of the world and for her con
tributions to it, so long as Astoria is
in the deal somewhere; so long as she
is fairly treated in the great game. It
is the direct, unblushing course of re
pudiation imposed by the one controll
ing influence in the state, that calls
forth our fighting propensities, and in
effectual as they have appeared to be.
to date, we have abundant and un
swerving confidence in their final poten
tialities, and will prosecute them to
the end of it all, and the need of
them shall have vanished. This city
could and would make her own way
in the world of progress if her hands
were not tied by the cords furnished
by the city, of all others, that should
nurture and nourish the outlying depots
of Oregon for its own splendid up-build-ing
and success. Astoria knows all of
its own history clearly and succinctly)

The original motive of tho first Hague conference was tho limita
