ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY JULY 8. 1883 Astoria's Greatest Menace. TnE history of the first vigilance committee ever organized in As toria, as told in yesterdajs paper, brings up a good deal that has most intimate concern with the growth and prosperity of our city. The vigilance committee has driven out some of the pimps and vagabonds that hang around the town, hut it is little use to break eggs unless the nest in which they are laid is also destroyed. Con stituted as it is, it is in a measure impossible to have a city without having a concomitant of vice, but in Astoria, the vicious element, and the vice breeder is growing faster than the social life of the city. It is sapping our social foundations; it is destroying our young men and brutalizing older ones; it is breaking down the bar riers of social tone and weakening the ties of social brotherhood until it tends to subvert a great deal of what we all hold to be true man hood. Political influence has pandered to it, the pulpit seems afraid to soil its hands with it, the people are becoming familiarized with it, and it now becomes a di rect menace to our growth, and a shame to the better citizens that allow it. While the surroundings of vice in its most brazen form are allowed to run in open violation of the law what else can Astoria ex pect than that the spawn hatched from such slime will poison its bet ter life? It is a shame that should be given no reason to continue. If this place is to amount to any thing, if it is to be the beautiful city we hope to hare, the founda tions are being laid in rotten soil and the fabric cannot stand. Community of Interests. "I don't want my liberty inter fered with, I want to do just as I please, I have a right to do as I please." Just so, you certainly have a right to do as you please, for that is absolute liberty, but you have no right to interfere with any one else's right to do as lie pleases. All have equal rights: we believe a man has a right to bo wrong if he wants to, but if his wrong'entails infringement on his neighbor's right, the wrong must be stopped. "We have no sympathy with men who want to coax people to be good, nor with fanatics who preach prohibition. As a theory,, the idea is a beautiful one, but it will not work. Nor are compla cent addresses to approving au diences of much- practical avail. The matter amounts to this. There is a community of interests; some must surrender private wishes to promote the general good; the more those wishes interfere with the general good the more com plete must the surrender become. A San Feancisco dispatch says: Although the season for coast and geodetic survey forces to be in the field has arrived, no orders have been received at the sub office here, and the assistants are con sequently in a state of masterly inactivity, in which their time is probably occupied reflecting upon the glorious uncertainties of official red tapeism. Not alone has the appropriation been made to carry on the work already com menced, but the superintendent of service has been importuned for m- structionsand as yet has vouch safed no reply. The instruments used by the gentlemen in charge of the office here are -covered with .dust, as mute testimonials of their lost occupation. Naughty Republicans in Ohio are reprinting Judge Hoadley's fierce attacks upon the Democra cy a few vears ajo. The fact that the Judge wants those same Bern ocrats to elect him governor next October makes it embarrassinor for him as a candidate. The" highest tribunal in this country is public opinion, and its dooisipps are seldom wrong and never reversed. NEW TO-DAY To Lease F 10R A TERM OF VEARS, 2 LOTS ON J eXTerson 'Streets.
