A paper like the Oregonian is very hard to build up (it is different from the reputa tion of an individual): it is corres pondingly hard to tear down. Its prosperity is a plant of slow growth, but when it is prosperous no one individual can more than casually injure it. A breath can destroy a ... ,..' i mans reputation; not all the put- ling of a thousand cheeks can de stroy the life of a newspaper. "Wo are of the opinion that the new daily so much talked of can be a great benefit to journalism and to the State. It can act as a cor rective to the sometime acidity of the Oregonian. 1 1 can hare all the news that that paper has with out any corresponding flatulence or personal eructation. It can, in this way, be of real benefit even to the Orcgoman by demonstra ting that the pecuniary ability to compass certain ends' in no way involves the intellectual ability! that justifies its possessor in loftily I uiji '-'rt " n tuaivumi j (iuiviml A great newspaper is like a well cut diamond. It flashes a corus cation oi light from every angle, on every subject in its range. It is bold, yet cautieus: 1 earless yet gentle; candid yct'wary. It does not sneer at every passing folly, nor snub every attempt at forming columns that it can not lead to conflict. It is the embodiment of pure democracy ; it passes on through the several degrees of that great domain where all men that can reach it are equal the republic of tho mind and having donned that regalia has more power than ever prince or potentate possessed. Though this can not be done with out money, yet money alone can not do it. The personality of its controlling spirit must be thegnage by which it rises or falls. "We have been reading the. Oregonian for about two years, and while we find much in its rlit'ti::l columns tlmt is manly in utterance and ml in efluoi, yet there is s much that speaks of spite, jealousy and re venge that we dn not wonder at the universal glee that fills the breasts of those whom it has scored, when they think they sec a chance to "get even;'" a chance rawly ne glected by the average hnmui. The Oregonian is now the lead ing paper of this northwestern coast, far one reason, and one reason only it has the coin to make it so. It is just as great a paper as the city of Portland is able to support. Indeed it is now a little ahead of that city. His about as expensive :i paper to i -in as a city of 40,000 would justify. A paper to-succeed against it must start with equal facilities, with equal capital, and with a certain prestige in its favor. These, we are informed, tho proposed paper will have from the word go. Hav ing these it must, by enterprise, actual merit and keen business qualities be prepared to make a costly race, heavily handicapped by immaturity and lack of acquain- . tance with the surroundings. The possession o the desirable quali- -ties we have mentioned will result in giving it a good show to give the Oregonian a lively tussle. The laclc of any one of these will result in a rocket flight. In one sense we believe the now paper will be a benefit to the Oregonian. People .have been made so painfully manifest of its injustice and attempted supercil iousness it has been so rubbed into them that they can't help feel ing it, and overlooking its good qualities. Probably its guiding spirit will by contrast be made to see the mole in his own eye and reap pofitable. benefit from the result. The position that the editor of such a paper as the Oregonian occupies is one of more power than that of any other one man in the State. Itfo matter how much may bt Mid to the contrary, the written thoughts of an educated man have I A ""f?T All most potent influence. The usejJS,, W 0 jHLllftll J that the Oregonian editor makes ' j of English demonstrates the fact, lrat ,, ,vol, mld(!retmids tlm valia. of the chosen words, and in tins he - aflords pleasing contrast to the; ;aVlKV,aru vcruiage oi some oi ins! ! opponents. His terse, incisive sen-' lcaces ancl lheir arranircment ! evince sufficient Iherarv attainment! ! Were his? tempered i with less asperitv and his sarcasm ,,.;u i more of the lancet than the bind-! geon style, it might result in more j affectionate remembrance. It is J easier to elicit kindly feeling than , to compel admiration from our fel-' low-men. The Oregonian has the ! opportunity of holding the lead ' against any new paper if it desires. "We believe it will. A i:kci:nt issue of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has : sensj'.V editorial on the matter of a!v-i-tising and the rates therefor. The editor prefaces Ins remarks by clipninjr from the columns of a ' r 1)ubI;sncii :iim0st undr paner pubnsiicii almost under tlic same circumstances as his. and , shows that that paper's adverlising rates arc-nearly three times what i he. charges. Tie speaks plainer i than is customaiy in stating just' what he can do. and what he would liko to ha ve would s porarv we would say that the "top r .,.,. , j , ', notch tnat he says he has readied for advertising space is away anove and ahead of anything that c;ui be sot here. lie. really is to be congratulated on jreUmsr an ap- - . i r : r, . , . i proximately Tair price for spar? to j let. . -....-,. m. , , ... , ., ,,..-. j -.t.,., T .,.
