"We have no enemies to punish, nor friends to reward, by the man ner qL .writing', our .news para. graphs. If we choose to suppress an part of news which niight be damaging to the parties concern ed, it is nevertheless news ; and our act has been prompted by a motive of simple kindness to the persons or person immediately in terested. But when suoh persons or person set themselves up as censors to criticise an act intended as a benefit to them solely, and we hear of it, we shall piobably not be so careful again, to cover their omissions. We have proper re spect for all, disrespect for none. "We, too, must be respected where respect is due to us. Sensible men will be willing to compre hend this status of a newspaper. And, so far as we are concerned, we intend to let them know here after that an item of news on the street is no less a matter of news in The Asiokian but we shall always confine our items to the facts existing. Late rains are said to be bene ficial to Kansas farming interests. A mad dog in Halifax bit seven children on Hut m day. Shoot the doers. Throe children were killed by lightning in Winona, Minnesota, on Saturday. The Northern Pacific railroad is not so flush this week as it was last by about 1 0,000,000. Dis trust. There is said to be a scarcity of sailors at Portland. Portland is too far inland to have everything she wants. James B. Doyle, the notorious Illinois forger, gave 20,000 .bonds on Saturday. He is a high toned rascal, with plenty of scads. Another man has just died who was one of the first to run up the stars and stripes in California. Tommy Patterson of Portland. Officer Minto chased a gang of highwaymen into the brush south of Turners Saturday. Minto and posse only had revolvers; the gang had "Winchester rifles. A bullet was put through the hat on one of Mintos men. Buy the Weekly. 1MB WEEKLY A.STOKIAN lif tills week is full nf just puck infotnmtion and news of the country as your mends m the eat want to see. It has very few mivurii'-.&tiients, and is chock to the muzzle uf information that no family chu successfully queurt along without, iwo doll.tre will buy the whole wad for a yewr, $1 50 for six months, or ton emits per copy. Shipping t'rt l- the thousand, or to order, plain or printed, at The ASTOKIAN' otucc. The roomt u inch we have to let in The Astormn i.nilihii are the tinuit in tlw cit.v for office purposes, and the rate is ery rensonitblo. SfAIl citizens of Oicgon who desire to inform their fueiuU in the states of thp condition and proiriwsof this state, can have no more complete and conipie henshc volume of facts to send them thaifby subscribing for "this journal, and having us mail it weekly to their lricnds. We mail it as dh cried. For $3 00 in advance, we mail tluee copies of Tine Weekly Am out an one year. By a recent postal decision men can actually make money by getting their bills and statements of accounts printed. Statements of accounts and bills of sale when made out on paper having printed headings, can be sent by mail for one cent, if the envelope is left unsealed; whereas, if it is made out on imprinted paper, it will cost three cents. Thus by patronizing The Astouiax two cents can be saved on every bill or statement that s sent out through the mail. EsfWhat nleasure it is to pay ones debts! In the fn-,t placr.it xcnmvcsihat uneasiness which a person feels from dependence and obligation. It affords pleasure to the 'creditor, and therefore gratifies our social affection. It nro motes that future confidence w Inch is so interesting to an honest mind. It opens a prospect of being leadiiv supplied with what you want on future occasions. It leaves a consciousness of our urtue; and it is a measuie w e know to be right, both in point of justice and sound econ omy. Finally, it is the main suppoi t of simple reputation. Vn us, that we may pay others. STSomc say that it is no use for them to advertise, that thej have been in the place in business nil their lives, and everybody Knows them, bueh people seem to forget to take m consideration that our country is increasing in popu lation nearly 40 per cent, every ten vears, and no matter how old the place may be, there are constant changes taking place; some move to other parts, and strangers fill their places. Jn this age of the world, unless the name of a business firm Is kept constantly before the public, some new firm may start up, and. by ituciai tiuiciiuuiu, ill u via v suun iiuie take the place of the older ones, and the latter rust out, as it were, and be forgot ten. No man ever lost money by judi lous advertising. Horse .education. In something written wo have an indistinct recollection of having made Teference to a general disposition among boys in their teens, as well as boys of maturer years, to enlighten ana oiess me wona -nun tneir pro found knowledge of the horse and his history. Our books and newspapers are full of this kind of literature, and it varies in style from the production of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four legs and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That his neck is clothed with thunder and the glory of-his nostrils -js terrible. He smefteth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting. Between these two ex tremes of the child at his first school composition, and the professional literature, we have every grade of pre tention, and each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close of -this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing better in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct.
