Ghleflv About Personal Matters.
To-day begins a new volume
this issue being No. 1, of Vol. IS,
of Tiie Daily Astorian. One
year ago we assumed control of
the paper, and bv working six
teen hours out of the twenty-four,
continuously every day since, have
been able to pay our bills for labor
and'supplies. In such unremitting
exertion we look moie to" the fu
ture .than the present for compen
sation. The Astoria of to-day is
far ahead of the Astoria of a year
ago; there are more people, more
houses, more money. The future
of thecily- is a bright one, and it
.shall be our intent and constant
desire to make The Asiorian an
exponent of the placi. The pa
per is not in every respect what
we would wish to have it; none
note more keenly than we its dc-
Cant a lnf -nr fiolil ic nmoiv?i!)f
limited; and everyone remembers
the homely adage, "you must
creep before you can walk."' Wo
feel thankful lo our patrons and
Mibscriheis for their appreciative
efforts to help us, am! would sug
gest in this connection that the
newspaper published in a place is
always a constant advertisement
of and for the place. Our sub
scription list can be increased ma
terially bj icsidents of the city,
and we know of nothing that
-would help the place more than
the dissemination of information
regarding this section of the north
' west its resources and attractions
to settlers. Even week wc send
a large number of papers to all
parts of tbe country, and in this
way call attention to the many ad
vantages of the plact.
The promises we made the read
ing public a year ago have been
kept to the best of our ability,
and as we said then, so now, that
The Astoeiax shall continue to
have an independent opinion on all
points within the jurisdiction of a
newspaper, shall hold to what it
believes to be right, and shall
answer all objections by stating
the truth as it appears to us. Wc
are well aware that we have not
succeeded in pleasing every one,
but as that is an impossibility, the
fact modifies our i egret. We
shall continue to avoid, as far as
possible, all personalities, .shall
try to be just, and shall be always
"willing to concede to oiheis the
consistency we claim for ourself,
uttering our honest sentiments in
such a way that those who differ
from us can at least respect the
opinion uttered. The paper shall
continue Xo work for the good and
material benefit of the city, county
and state, shall foster and support
. every enterprise looking to the
interest of the community and
shall advocate the development of
Clatsop county's resources. "We
shall continue 'to be chary of
promises, but shall try to do ail
that is promised, bearing in mind
that while it is not always possible
to secure success,it is always noble
to deserve it.
There is a good deal of money
due us here and there throughout
, the country for subscriptions, that
we would" be glad to receive. To
the individual it is not much, but
two.or three dollars here and there
from a thousand different souls
make an aggregate that would be
of material assistance to us at
present. We are loth to dun our
subscribers, but if they will send
us the amount due for the eunent
1 year we shall feel obliged. And
-this brings us to the end of our
discourse.
The Standard thinks that the
evidence of "Hon. B. F. Nichols
" does not seem to bo very conclu-
. sire as to Bob Ford's attempt at
bribery. It looks very much as
ifFord thought Nichols was one
of the kind that needed assistance
in his old age, and tried to find
out his price. Nichols' evidence
indicates that Ford acted on his
. own responsibility in the matter.

It is but little to the credit of
our city that the attendance at tJio
Atfi V i tint frjtYti iiii tvor1 !! Hiftiw.il
! churches is so small. A full and
regular attendance on public wor
ship is of benefit to both the com
munity and its members.
On the individual, the influence
is all for good. Saying nothing of
the religious part of the matter
this being each one's own concejn
it is a great deal that one can
withdraw lumseil, it only lor an
hour in a week, fiom the cares and
perplexities of everyday life, .nul
raise himself to a higher plane of
soul-being; can listen with th.
noise of the world shut out, to Un

f-rj- the benefit fcorured bv m:iir'-r-

Church attendance henofit she
place by preserving the quiot of a
day set apart by custom and law
for rest to all, and sanctified by
religion for. worship by so very
many.
Its good influence on tin- young
is incalculable.
By its quiet pressure it keeps
somewhat in check the unruly ele.:
ments found in even' community.
Though evil may exist, and even
flourish, it stas in its own place
and is, at least, not obtrusive.
The gcod impression a full and
regular church attendance makes
on the stranger within our gates
is far-reaching; and is like biead
cast on the waters to return in
increased population, credit abroad
and prosperity at home. A re
spectable settler with a family, in
quires about the schools, but per
sonally notices the churches.
To speak slightingly of the pas
toral service is not a sufficient an
swer. Were these men intellec
tual giants thny would find a
wider field, :i larger harvest for
their reaping. To do all that the
humblest of 05 oil's servants fan
tell us, is more than a life's woik
for most of us.
Certain it is a man comes out of
the church with increased solf-ro-
spect, for while there, as white in
the company of good women, he is
bound to behave himself.

Ed. Asterian:
1 iiavi: a plan to recommend
to the merchants and people of
Astoria, who are now suffering
from the exactions of the O..R.
& N. Coa steamships, which
persist in carrying freight past
Astoria, which is destined for As
toria, and which discriminates
against the place in rates of
freight, and otherwise tries to in
jure the place.
- It is imply this, to buy a gocd
iron steamship of 1400 tons regis
ter, to run between Astoria and
San Francisco. This steamship to
be filled up ever trip with lum
ber as freight, from a iarge saw
mill to be erected here. 3 would
also have her carry passengers and
through up freight. In this way
the steamer would always have a
good paying business, and Asto
rians have tlieir freight always
landed -at their own cit.
