ASTORIA, OREGON:
SUNDAY.. APRIL 15, 1SS3
Ao "Antagonism."
A correspondent for whom we
personally have the highest regard
asks "why do you manifest such
antagonism to the railroad and its
managers?" Our friend and well
wisher is laboring under a miscon
ception ot facts. The Astorian
is not antagonistic to railroads, nor
is it at all inimical to railroad man
agers. The railroad is a benefit
to the country, and Astoria shares
indirectly in the prosperity that it
brings. But Astoria is not depen
dent upon the railroad. Indeed
we hold that if the railroad were
made to do what it guaranteed to
do, either build the road from
Forest Grove or give up the As
toria land grant that it would be
better for our city. It would cer
tainly be better for the settlers
who have been between the devil
and the deep sea ever since they
tried to get a foothold in certain
parts of Clatsop county. The
Astorian alone, of all the papers
in Oregon, has ever since we as
sumed charge of it, pointed out
the injustice of such action on the
part of those who claim to be resid
uary legatees of the original
grant, and bar the way to pro
gressive action. In doing this we
are either right or wrong. If we
are wrong,then it is wrong for any
one to protest agaiust injustice; it
is wrong for any newspaper man
to raise his voice against monopo
ly greed; it is wrong to have a
soul ofyourown or to do otherwise
than get a railroad pass and keep
your mouth shut.
As to any "antagonism5 to rail
road managers the thought never
entered our head. Mr. Villard,
who by the way, spent half an
hour in Astoria 3'esterday,
certainly knows his own business.
If his plans include building to
or from Astoria, if by taking cog
nizance and interest in Astoria's
welfare he should determine that
the interests intrusted to his keep
ing would be best served in in
cluding Astoria in his railroad
plans, we believe as a shrewd
business man he would do so. If
he feels that he can ignore At.iria,
God's blessing still be ou him;
that is his privilege; let him go.
Men like Villard are actuated en
tirely by motives of pelicy: they
have no preference for one particu
lar place; their ideas are purely
those of utility; capital has no
sympatrvy and pecuniary gain is
the onlv creed it recoirnizes.
Mr. Villard has made it as plain
as it is possible that he has no
present use for Astoria. Vvre have
not as yet met. any one that
seemed to take the matter seri
ously to heart; but there is no
"antagonism" in reference to the
matter. What we demand is that
the Astoria land grant shall be
forfeited. II that doesn't suit Mr.
Villard or his colleagues much as
the fact may be regretted yet we
propose to see it through. The
pleasure or displeasure of any
individual is a secondary consider
ation. Pointers.
Senator Bayard thinks that
the Democrats will elect the next
president by a large majority.
To thoroughly enjoy the old
song, "A life on the ocean wave,"
you must a life on the ocean waive.
Advices from weather head
quarters indicate rain for Astoria
and vicinity. It does look very
much that way.
There are rumors in San Fran
cisco relative to putting on an op
position steamer between that
city and the Columbia river.
Chicago has had sixty-nine un
doubted murders since the begin
ning of the year 18S1, and of all
the murderers only one has been
hanged.
The old Vermont man who
heard that there were wildcat
mines in Utah said that if the
pesky wildcats were down in the
bowels of the earth, people must
be dreadful fools to dig 'em.
"As far as we know," says the
Texas Sif tings, "there is not a
single instance on record in Texas
of a murderer of means having:
been punished by law, no matter
how many homicides he commit
ted." The Detroit Frte Press re
marks: cIt is nearly two weeks
since the government launched an
iron-clad called the Terror, and
yet we have failed to see any par
ticular change in the policy of
Europe."
D3'namite is about to be thrown
into the shade. An ingenious
citizen of Paris, the appropriate
home for such discoveries, has pro
duced a new compound which J2
calls panclastite. Panclastite con
sists of bypoeootic acid, which is
one of the numerous compounds
of oxygen and azote, or nitrogen,
mixed either with essence of pe
troleum or sulphuret of carbon.
The degree of explosive force is
said to depend upon which of the
last-named ingredients is used.
During the past nine years the
exports of American products to
the Hawaiian islands amounted
to $13,470,178, while during the
same period the exports to French
possessions have been only 2,859,
704 and to English possession.
$8,125,388 that is Haw aii, owinr :
to the exertions of her little popu
lation of industrious Anglo
Saxons and Germans, has used
more American goods than the
colonies of two of the mightiest
powers on earth.
The steamer Indiana to-day
took the first batch of emi
grants forwarded free by the Eng
lish government to America. The
party numbered 75, and was prin
cipally made up of persons evicted
inConemara, Ireland.
Small as it is, that brief item is
full of significance to those who
have traced events and studied
the late history of Ireland. There
can be no doubt that it is the set
tled policy of the British govern
ment to attempt a solution of the
Irish problem by depopulating
Ireland, even though to do so it
must provide free passage for emi
grants to America. These people
whom it is now exporting were
starving, and were glad to get a
chance to go anywhere.
