ASTORIA. OEEGON:
SATURDAY.
NOVEMBER 16. 1889.
A FEW REMARKS.
The county printing for this county is
at present done in St. Louis, Missouri.
This is believed to be unjust. It is cer
tainly uncalled for. There are four job
printing offices in this city. "We are not
acquainted with the resources of any but
our own, but can say that one is fully
equipped and. prepared to do any work
required by any one in this county. These
four printing offices have several thous
and dollars invested. There are no other
four establishments in Astoria that pro
portionately pay out so much of their
earnings. "Whatever they make over and
above actual expenses is invested in this
town, and taxed at its full value.
If a man were to come here to start a
manufacturing establishment, giving em
ployment lo a large number of persons
who spent their wages in the town, it
would be nothing out of the way for him
to ask a subsidy; and many a thousand
dollars havo been given by enterprising
communities to manufacturing establish
ments not half so deserving of it as a
newspaper and job printing offioe.
Sending money to build up printing
establishments in St. Louis, is not the
way to build up similar home establish
ments, espeoially when they stand ready
to do the work just as good and just as
oheap as anywhere else.
This is the first time The Astobian
has ever referred to this matter; and
even now, it only alludes to it incident
ally, and in accordance with its de
clared policy of building up home in
dustries.
Personally,'we don't care; The Asto
bian is not dependent on such crumbs of
patronage, but in general it earnestly
protests against such short sighted pol
icy, so manifestly opposed to the plainest
dictates of mutual effort and business co
operation. One word more as to the business fair
ness of this proceeding. A few months
ago the proprietors of this establishment
were, in common with others, notified to
put in a bid for county printing, blanks,
etc. This we did, and being the lowest
bidder the work was awarded to us. We
refer to the official records for proof of
what is here courteously asserted. "We
have yet to see that work on which we
bid, and which was awarded to us by the
county commissioners.
Is it going to St. Louis, Mo.?
You business men who read this, sup
pose that you made a similar contract
and were similarly Berved; what would
you think about it? We refrain from
further comment.
Evebx newspaper man knows some
thing about the paragraphs which come
creeping into the offices at unseemly
hours, and of the questions which he
asks. First, it is asked, "Is it worth
- - au-i Ja it true?" Third,
injury to the individual?" Butjorlhis
care respectable newsparere get .no credit
whatever. You do not know what goes
to the waste basket. If you did you
would revise your opinions. A news
paper should be judged as a man is. If
you know a man who is full of infor
mation, whoso mind is pure, and who
has common sense, he is always welcome
to yon; but if ho is vulgar and has
your contempt, you say he is not
trustworthy, and pass him by. Why not
apply the same test to the newspapers?
The true newspaper man hesitates long
before he uses a paragraph which may
injure an individual or a business con
cern or any individual or corporation en
terprise. He does not consider it his
mission to wield, the undoubted power of
his position even to gratify his individual
and private grudge3, or to punish those
who have injured or attempted to injure
him. He considers his place as, in a
sense, a public trust, and so manages his
paper as to conserve the public interest.
. .
A oobeespondent suggests the number
ing of the streets. A year ago this paper
aided considerably that way by chang
ing the names of the streets running
east and west. The Astobian then dis
carded the old uncouth names, and now
daily refers to them as First, Second,
etc. In the course of time our corre
spondent's idea wiH.be adopted. The
suggestion has been made by this paper
time .and again, bnt it takes a good while
to overcome inertia.
A Canadian syndicate is getting a grip
upon all the pine land3 of Minnesota,
equal in area to one half the state. Where
is the American party? Shall the Kan
nck steal our timber and do his courting
by the light of the pine knots of free
dom? Shall he usurp our shakes and
shingles, and with his foreign frow split
our clapboards, while the bird of free
dom pines for a pine to roost him on?
While recognizing that it is manners
to wait to bo asked, it may not be wholly
out of place for the editor of this paper
to say that at no time, either present,
or future is he a candidate or applicant
for any city, county, state or federal po
sition, elective or appointive. He has
his ambitions, like other men, but they
do not lie in that direction.
Mbs. Pabsons, the negro widow of the
Chicago anarchist, declares that "Henry
George has just girded on his armor."
Perrfit us to correct you, madame; Mr.
George was not doing anything bo fool
ish. He was changing his shirt.
Jay Gould liaB a superstition that he
is to be killed in an elevator. He can
beat destiny at that game by using the
stairs and compelling the elevator to
come out of its hole and attack him
where he will stand some chance. j

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOB.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15. The Knights
of Labor committee on law resumed its
report immediately after the convention
was called to order and continued until
the hour arrived when the committee
from the Farmer's alliance was to be re
ceived. They appeared headed by Presi
dent Livingston, who said he felt sure
when the convention met at St. Louis on
Dec. S, a confederation would be formed
and it would be equally beneficial ton
both orders.
In Powderly's reply he thanked God
for the day, and said that the day when
the farmer and mechanic could stand
side by side and work for the same
object had alwavs been a dream of his.
The entire meeting was most enthusias
tic and every mention of confederation
was met with thundering applause.
FIBE ON A STEAMKB.
San Fbangisoo, Nov. 15. A fire was
discovered this morning on the steamer
Hawaii which was lying at the Oceanic
dock ready to Bail for Honolulu to-day.
The steamer had a full cargo, inoluding
much-valuable merchandise intended for
Christmas trade at Honolulu. She was
at once towed to Mission Bock, and the
fire extinguished by swamping her on
the mud flats. The extent of dam
age is not known, but it will probably be
considerable. The Hawaii was formerly
named the Del Horte, and she was re
cently purchased bv the Wilden Steam
ship company, of Honolulu for $30,000.
She was intended for the inter-island
trade.

gone to New York to meet "W. C. Stan
ford, a young club man with a $200,000,

HE TOOK THE WKONO MKDICTJVE.
Robert Stewart, of Petalunm, recently had a
queer experience. Ho mites:
"Carbuncle and bolls afflicted my f&co and
neck for weeks. Finally I procured a bottls
of one of tho leading s&rssparlll&s. Tony
surprise It xaa'do matters "worse. This made
me loss faith In sarsaparlllas, but seeing a
statement that Joy's Vegstable Sarsaparllla
dried up bolls and face eruptions instead of
forcing more out as the potash sarsaparlllas
do, I bought a bottle. Tho effect was aston
ishing. The carbuncles and bolls began to dry
up, and In tyro weeks my face wo well and
smoothies erer. Hy brother also took a bottlo
with the same benefit. RobeetStthubt,
"Petaluma, CaL"
(Explanatory Note Tho mineral iodide of
potash, which is tho basis ot nearly all other
sarsaparlllas, attacks the blood direct, henco
forces impurities through, the akin, creating
more bolls andplmples. JoVaVegetablo Sar
