txi Mt aUtj gtftomu. ASTOBIA. OEEGON: SATURDAY .'. OCTOBER 8. 1BS7 A man who has no opinion is a fool; and a man who & afraid to express his opinion is a coward. A fool is to be pitied, but a coward is something for which neither God nor man has any use. Tire Y. M. C. A. is a practical insti tution, useful and deserving and worthy of substantial recognition. It fills a needed place in the community and should not be allowed to languish for want of necessary funds. Asa business proposition the untiring ef forts of the ladies and gentlemen who are willing workers in a good cause are of benefit Its usefulness is in di rect proportion to its financial ability and its record entitles it to a just plea for material aid. To those who would note the prac tical workings of a prohibitory law, Chehalis county, W. T., furnishes food for observation. At the last local op tion election Chehalis county voted no. The presumption of course is that there is no liquor drunk in Che halis count. A prominent resident of Astoria who recently returned from there informs us that there wasaiever more whisky drunk in Chehalis coun ty than at present The difference is that now the saloons pay no license. Some temperance people think that the liquor traffic ought to be com polled to pay a big share of city and county taxes. Our dispatches tell of Dennis Kear ney and his mission to Now York. The fact that Kearney has been sent for illustrates the feeling in New York state regarding the necessary control of state and national politics. It be ing feared that sufficient Republicans cannot be fooled into voting the prohi bition ticket in '88 to offset probable Democratic losses by reason of tho la bor vote, Kearney is brought eastward to create the cry of anti-Chinese among the rank and file in the hope of stemming tho current St John, the prohibition apostle, announces the mission of the prohibition paVtyis to kill the Republican party, but fur ther than that is needed some one to keep the labor element from making serious inroads on probable Demo cratic majorities in the empire state. So Dennis Kearney once more bobs up serenely from below. Politics makes strange bed-fellows, and if Kearney can do for '88 what St John did for '84, the political wisdom of tho combination will be manifest He Got the Place. A lawyer friend tells me he adver tised for an office boy the other day, and as usual got a big bundle of an swers. He got fairly well tired read ing the various creditable things the young aspirants for tho place had to say of themselves, but finally he struck a letter that really rested him. It was written on a very much soiled and crumpled piece of paper that had never been very white, and ran about as follews: "I'm 12 years old. I hain't got no father nor muther. I'm an orfan and I've got to hustlo. It beles hel how hard times is." My legal friend read no more of the letters, but immediately sent for the writer of this one and gave him the job. The urchin has settled down to "hustling" in earnest and doesn't complain any more of hard times. Chicago Mail. Three Favorites Have the following to say of Wis dom's Eobertino, tho great beautifier and preserver of the complexien: Pobtland, Or., Juno 4, 1887. To Mr. W. M.

PoBTLiND, Or., April C, 1887. Dear Mr. Wisdem: I have tried your "Bobertine," and it gives me much pleasure to say that it is excellent for the complexion, being one of the best articles of the kind I have over used. Be lieve me, yours sincerely, Z. Teebelli. For sale by W. E. Dement & Co. druggists, Astoria, Oregon English Salmon Market. San Francisco, Oct C Advices from London to-day state that salm on is Btill very dear, and it is feared by some that the consumption will shortly begin to shoi? signs of falling off as a result of the higher, and to the retailers, less profitable prices. Columbia river fish that can be had at 28 shillings per case, are taken pretty freely, but not in such quanti ties as if quotations were 2325s. An absence of general animation is plainly evident A Good "Word For the Bieycle. There have been so many uncom plimentary things said of bicycles that it is pleasant to be able to say a good word for these cranky vehicles. One frequently sees men under the influence of liquor riding around in buggies and on horseback, but we defy anyone to say truthfully that he ever saw a drunken man riding a bi cycle. Orcgonian. THE Y. jr. C. A. What Has Been Done, and What is De sired To Do. Last evening the members of the Young Men's Christian association tion gave a supper complimentary to tho business men of the city. About forty responded to the invitation, and after supper Pres ident C. A. Hanson called on the general secretary to give n report of the work for the past year. Tho sec tary explained that of the Sl,232 total income of the association for the year, $352.05 had been spent duriug the three months prior to the engage ment of a general secretary, in im firovements and running expenses, eaving $879.35 for the remaining nine months' work from Jan. 1st to Sept 30, '87. Of this, $400 had been paid for salary, and $225 for rent,, and $254.35 in improvements and other expenses. There are now bills due for S202.91, with $75 subscription and $50 members' dues to meet them, leaving a real debt of $77.91. The secretary explained that there was about $125 subscriptions not collect able, which accounts for the small debt now on the sssociation. A report of the four departments of the work was then made. The PJtys ical work was small, the association sustaining a gymnasium without an instructor. The Social work of tho association for the past nine months had been carried on by the ladies, who had given six socials, thus offer ing tho young men an opportunity to see a little home life. The Edu cational work had been carried on under difficulties. A book-keeping class under the efficient leadership of L It. Osgood had been sustained and fairly attended. A Chautauqua cir cle had been successfully carried on and a class in vocal music was held for a short tuuo only, it being diffi cult to get a teacher for this class. The reading room was spoken of as a very important feature in the work. Thirty papers on filo and sev eral magazines, 200 books, a writing table, where the boys could write their letters, being supplied with writing materials, and n checker andl crokonole board. Tho Religions work had been very encouraging. Six young men had joined the churches from tho mem bership of tho association. A good building up work (of character; had been done, and tho secretary said he rejoiced that tho association had made a large number of young men's lives happier. In speaking of tho work for an other year, ho said tho association hoped to do more for the young men. An instructor for tho gymnasium was needed. Moro social gatherings must bo held for the benefit of tho young men. An effective oducational work would be attemped and tho reading room muBt be made moro attractive. Some representative papers from east ern cities, a few of tho illustrated pa pers and about twenty more maga zines should be put into the reading room at once. Instead of 200 books, there should 2,000 in the library. The secretary urged upon tho friends of the work the importance of doing a special work for the boys, but it was impossible to carry such a work with out aspecial room for their use. The association had such a room, but needed money to fit it np, inside and out. In conclusion tho general sec retary urged upon tho friends tho im portance of this work for the young men of our city. Ho said tho young men who were carrying this work had the courage to go forward, but needed fcij&UU by way of help from the friends of the work. Ho believed they would get it The work must go on, because it is a necessity. There is no other place for a young man to go to. Would the business men stand under the.work? Ho believed they would. J. T. Eoss was called on to sav a few words from a business man's standpoint Ho showed that the bus iness men couldn't aiioru to let this association go under. They got back all they nut into it in tho shane of good servants, honest clerks, and the speaker said it was to their benefit to make the young men moral, honora ble men, even though they onlv had to deal with them as customers" He said the association ought to havo a Duuaing or its own, and showed that it would be a benefit to the town to put up such a building. he president invited everybody present to ask questions or speak on the work, but as no one made anv re sponse the meetine adjourned and a social timo was enjoyed. special praise is due tho ladies for the elegant supper prepared. The tables were arranged in the shapo of a cross and the flowers and frnit looked beautiful indeed. Everything to tempt the most delicate annetite was on the table and full jnstico done oy tue guests. Incoming Passcnpcrs.
