- 7 ? r jPaiU forian. ASTOKIA, OREGON: "WEDNESDAY.. MACH 12. 18S4 PETERED OUT. A Portland special tells of the death of the JV ojthice.it Xeivs. Its demise was only a question of time, as it has been more than usually weak and debilitated for several months. It died of marasmus. We do not know of any newspaper that ever started under more favorable auspices than did the JS'ews in Janu sry, '83. There was a deepseated dis like against the Oregonian partly be cause of its action in the Mitchell fight, partly "on general principles;" there was a Bpurt of prosperity that made business boom and lent wings to speculatien: there was consider able capital behind the new concern nd it started with great eclat, with an amount of advertising patronage and a subscription list that seemed to justify its assertion that it had come to stay. But it soon gave evi dence of lack of brains. People who looked to its editorial columns for ideas, found vapid, second-hand sneers; men who expected a liberal treatment of current topics were dis appointed by unmistakeable evidence that it had all the inclination how ever much it lacked the ability to be a disorganizer of society; others who wanted the news were compelled to seek it in the columns of the paper it sought to supplant, and it lost confi dence and prestige from the start. When the money ran out and the pa per had to stand on its own merits it demonstrated the total absence of all merit and from that its downward course was rapid. The starting of such a newspaper as that involves considerable outlay; its expenses are considerable, and it is a costly toy; probably $G0,000 was sunk in the News during the fourteen months it was in existence, and that it did not succeed is due more to lack of management than any other rea son. Among other subjects of discussion in the National Woman Suffrage con vention recently in session in Wash ington was the question how to best aid the cause in Oregon at the com ing June election. It was wisely de cided that ''money was needed," and that money should be furnished. So that the advent of the fair sex into politics in this state is to be char acterized by one of the 'enormities" that are constantly preached against. It is universally conceded that the use of money in politics is very terri ble and awfully demoralizing, but it is one thing to preach and another to praotice. It sounds fuany to read in one of our eastern Oregon exchanges a dia tribe against Jay Gould, aud a de mand that the government buy the telegraph lines and free the country from the machinations of the wilv Jay, when it is a patent fact that that olever man has been trying for the last three years to dispose of his tele graph stock to the U. S. government ot a price far beyond its real value. "News" is always in order and en terprise in the gathering thereof is to be commended, but it looks like a stretching of the matter to telegraph, as in yesterday's Oregonian, the fact that a couple in Sau Francisco, not otherwise notorious, had "given up housekeeping and taken rooms at the Grand." In the language of Sam Weller, "What hof it?" It would be interesting to know what will be the issue between the two great national parties in next summer's presidential fight It looked for a while as though the tariff were looming prominently, but at this writing something to quarrel about seems to be as scarce as presi dential candidates. In the meantime the country is safe. The mayor of New York City has written a letter of thanks to a Port land fish merchant, handsomely ac knowledging the receipt of a beauti ful Columbia river spring salmon. Little do the swimming millions of . sea nurtured salmon now en route for the river realize the splendid adver tisement that Gotham's foremost man has given them. The mortgage tax and Judge Deady's recent decision thereon fur nish all the state papers with themes for discussion. The tax is like all sumptuary legislation. An attempt to enforce it so demonstrated its lack of wisdom that the state is now clamorous for its repeal. It is not impossible that a brief time may show the Bismarck snub to '-' be the besfcTfissrm nnr cfofoaman totr learned in many years. It might be well to have painted and hung up in the national capital a large picture of the Bismarck snub. On the principlo that "a national debt is a national blessing," a good many eastern journals argue that we are paying off the public debt too fast It is, however, our private debts that worry the most of us. When the spring time comes the czar of Bussia expects to shake hands with the emneror of Germ mi v. TTn will observe great caution, for he' knows thai Bismarck's loaded to the muzzle. country is The proposed constitution for the state of Montana provides that the! governor shall bo paid $3,000 per year, the secretary of state $2,200, and other executive officers S2,000 each. yoo g M i Mil NEW TO-DAY.
