trUT-sr? .- .") fe. gEB tariaau ASTOBIA, OREGON: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 27, 18SS ARobleLlfc. Ix the domain of actual Hie we know of no greater contrast than is exhibited in the career of one of the best of our American citizens, one who has led a pure life, who has always worked for the right, who raised himself from the most abject condition in which it is pos sible for a human being be placed to a mental and social equality with the best in the land, and who throughout a long and useful life has alwajs been in the van of progress. We are speaking of a negro Frederick Douglass. He was born and reared a slave, and unfortunately for himself at that stage of his career, the iron entered his sensitive soul. He was allowed no education, and the little of the Bible's teachings that he heard was in defense of a system that made him a transferable chat tel. He tried to escape and was caught and punished. A second attempt was suc cessful. Then he worked and educated himself. This is easy onough to write about, but to do .it required that quality which mankind has always admired, whatever the color of the skin. Then he wrote and talked and labored for freedom, and when Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves twenty vears ago, Fred Douglass felt iiis work was done. He has 'lately written the history of his life. It tolls a wonderful story. Apart from that which it contains and which the world knows by heart as history there is a great example set in the patient, perse vering unwearying slave who rose from the dunghill to a. seat with the wisest of the nation. He is a man deserving of honor and high praise. ? ta mm "In AH Tilings Charity." Oin: friend who edits the Seattle Herald objects to our recent strictures on his statements, and implies that we seek to belittle the resources nd products of "Wash ington Territory. Nothing can be further front the ft. Tun Astokian has always upheld the magnificent country to the north and never omitted to tsy a good word for it, and describe its re sources and attractions far more than the Herald, which would as sume the contrary. This is a fact patent to all, and a statement in which every newspaper man in Oregon and "Washington Territory will agree. The Herald talks about "fraudulent statistics com piled in newspaper offices." A fault confessed is half atened: it was just that very matter of "fraudulent statistics" as pub lished in the Herald, that we objected to. We challenge the Herald to find one incorrect state ment relative to our sister terri tory in the columns of The Asto rian. What we objected to in the Herald's article which it seeks now to defend was an attempt to belittle the commerce of the Co lumbia by making false assertions relative thereto? and by saying that of the salmon canneries on the Columbia, "two-thirds are on the Washington Territory side." We would always rather have a pleasant word than otherwise for those engaged in the same occu pation at oun-elf, and in all kind ness suggest to our Seattle friend that he is mistaken. Pixlev in his Argonaut has got back to abusing the Irish again. He has been saying all the mean things he can think of about JowSS&r-the last month but the coming 17th of March has the same effect upon Pick that a scar lot shawl has upon a turkey gob 'bier. The fact that he announces his intontion to observe the peni tential season of Lent may be taken as foreshadowing a change of heart on the part of the San iFranoisco editor. Tis a good many 3'ears ago since A. H. Stephens challenged Senator Ben Hill of Georgia, to fight a duel. Hill declined on the ground that the conditions were unequal. "I," said he to Stephens, "have a soul to save, and a family to care for; you have neither." ,Now, Ben Hill sleeps under six feot of southern sod; Stephens is governor of Georgia, and finds the executive mansion too small for his nine children. Senator Hoar, of Massachu setts, is satirical. Speaking of the exhaustive eloquence of Senator Book, of Kentucky, he says that "Beck rests his mind while talk ing.v But the Blue Grass Solon comes back with the statement that Hoar reminds him of that sterile tract of ground in Virginia which John Randolph said was poor by nature and exhausted by cultivation. 0CCE2S3cc:ecsssc:csecs::zccz3:e: 5 Great preparations arc being made for,the coining coronation of the Czar.

TjrE fact that five of the newly eleoted congressmen arc debtors to the government causes the deli cate question to arise, "Shall the government garnishee the salary, mid ii os how shall it bo done?" Hw i a good chance for the Standard to argue the inalienable rtgfcte of sovereign states. The S. F. Bulletin informs the public that the new railroad so long talked of from "Winnemucca, Nev., "north to the Columbia river at "Watla "Walla," is about to be come a reality. Its reason for the assertion is the fact tliat the Cen tral Pacific railroad company in clude it in their new map. Notice.
