"Want to Switcli off.
The Missouri border towns do
not seem io have any great lking
for the parent state. St. Louis
lias for some time signified a de
sire to be turned over to Illinois,
and now Kansas city wants to be
Teceived into the embrace of
Kansas. By name and location, it
is contented, Kansas city belongs
to Kansas state which seems
plausible enough, unless the town
receives a new designation.
The effort of some good peo
ple in central New York to rid
that locality of the plague spot,
the Onedia community, ought to
be successful. For over a quarter j
of a Rfmfiirv tliH. institution hns !
cursed by its presence the commu
nities about it, and its blasting
effects upon good morals are con
tinually appearing. It is to New
York state what Utah is to the
nation, and the great common
wealth should unite most lieartily
in the effort to rid itself of such a
damning institution. The move
ment is organized by some of the
strongest and best elements of so
ciety in that portion of the state,
and with proper help will win. If
the genius of our political institu
tions gives license to such aggre
gated disregard of moral and hu
man law, we cannot justly frown
upon those individuals who violate
these same laws. These remarks
apply to Astoria.
'".Keep II Out of the Papers."
Cine'nnctt Sa'urde-i Xfgkt.
'"For heaven's sake! don't let it get
iuto the papers," is the first cry of a
person caught in a mean scrape. Keep
.it out of the papers and it is all right.
No matter how contemptible or dishon
est the position may be, or how much
reason the offender may have for shame,
remorse and coutrition, if the circum
stance can he kept from 'cormorants
of the press," as the people who have
good reasons to be afraid of newspaper
reporters sometimes call them, lie is
.tranquil and happy. We are no cham
pion for that extreme license of the
jiress that is sometimes displayed, hut
we have noticed that the ones who cry
o t loudest against newspaper disclos
ures are generally those whose own
lives and acts would not bear very
close examination. People who live
clean, straightforward lives, have little
io fear from the newspapers.
Another scare about the world
coming to an end is on the tapis in
London. We have recovered from
the efFect3 of the one we had a few
.months ago, and can alford to smile at
-the London savans who pretend to
know more than any human being has
a right to know, no matter how large
his head is. It is a pretty .vcll ascer
tained fact that the world is bound to
come to an end -sometime, but it is
perfectly safe to make preparations to
honestly pay the note that will come
-due nent year. Bailey, of the
Banbury News, hits this phase of ec
centricity in a very neat vrtiy. He
who made a fair living out of his pe
knew one of these Second Adventists
culiar notions. "He used to borrow
a handful of coals and a pound or two
sugar and two or three logs of wood
.of his neighbors, giving as an excuse
that the world was coming to an end
.so quickly that there was no aise in
.a great stock of provisions. He lived
one whole winter in this way, but in
the spring it was suggested to him
that there was not people enough in
that region who sympathized with
him to make -it an object for him to
.live there any 'longer. It .is rill very
well to pray to God with unctuous
eloquence provided you don't contra
dict your own prayers, by preying.on
your neighbors."

A New Industry
" Dolly Oreqom'xin, March SOlh.
Thursday evening a new and
rakish-looking craft, the Emily
Stephens, arrived in our harbor
from "Westport, towed by the tug
Rip Van AViukle. The dimen
sions of this vessel are as follews:
length, 87 feet over all; beam 21
feet 10 ;nches; depth of hold, 8
feet. She was built for the halibut
fishery and has ten compartments,
or ice chests, m her hold, in which
to pack and preserve fish. In the
east this is done, and fish is suc
cessfully conveyed ever 1000 miles
to market. Thoroughness and dura
bility appear in the build and rig
of this little vessel, and reflect
credit upon the commander, Cap
tain Alex. A Henderson, under
whose superintendent the work has
been carried forward. This beauti
ful vessel was built at "Westport
by Mr. Stephens; her iron work
was furnished by Messrs. Arndt&
Ferchen of Astoria, and her sails
wore made by A. M. Johnson of
Astoa. Indeed, from truck to
keelson, she isOregonian,undgoes
forth the pioneer of fishermen,
Indeed, why not? Did the eastern
J fishermen but know our valuable
fish'ng grounds, mild climate and
exemption from the perils incident
to fishing on the Grand Banks,
man' of them would speedily leave
the stormy Atlantic for our Pacific
and prolific waters. "We are per
suaded that here is a large and
profitable industry, which promises
satisfactory returns to capitalists,
and we heartily wish Captain Hen
derson and his orew success.
