Tun Nebraska proliibitiouisls are in
the field for he coming state campaign
mi lim& brocsy commonwealth, and
lawe ndscd 100 for the figlit.
Tun S. F. Alia has a singular imce
sckdlnlo. The price for a year, by the
month is $3.40. The price for a year,
V ike week is $5.20.
The Kent, Wash.. Advertiser, a
port, cliipp. style of paper is about to
lat ro, and gives the Iveut folks a
"bnraiug up" in its closing issues. If
t&e Kant Ailwrtiser man would ston
! think r think to slop for a minute
ho would see the absurdity of the
situation. Between Seattle and
T-soora. are four towns Kent,
Slaughter, Sumner and Puyallnp, ten
jhHos apart Tliey can't all support
pnpare as a matter of fact the Seattle
and Tacoma press cover the field and
ia aa excellent manner. In any case
orchiiig aud abuse is unjustifiable,

TutsAstoiuax emphatically favors
the right-hour law. Those most in
timatoly responsible for the daily ap
paRranceof this journal of progress
verk eight hours in the morning and
input hours in the evening. This
lwtres eight hours for amusement.
Tho oight-hour system is great, and
thfe oflice endorses it by practical

Kakui: Crrv claims to be "the second

teemed conteiups dispute 13. C.s

is Mic second city in the state," as
ii orotic sl from the Oregon line.
lbtioring the state from the west,
Astoria is the first city in the stale.
Aftor awhile it will be the first which
war way the commonwealth is ap
proached. StmL.K. fail it. -what :i fuss peo
ple will make over a little tiling.
SUito Senator Snow, of the new .shite
sf AVajiiigJn, has been arrested,
ckitgwl with embezzling $5,000 while
dignity comily treasurer. He wants
tike thing fixed up somehow, so that he
gin l on ImhhI at tlie special session
at Qlyinpin in August, but some of his
cMtstiineuis arc obstinate about it and
WMti in ciurli him.

lines Trom Pendleton to Portland, a

In a recent interview C. P. Hunting
ton, the 8, P. magnate, made the fol
lowing statement, which is worthv of
note "When 1 went to California iu
4U. I win accompanied by a party of
vomig fellows from my native state,
Connecticut, aud when we reached
Sscnuncjito, the firl thing they did
was to go to the hotel and spend SI
spieco for their dinner. My dinner.
cKt ie le than a sixteenth of that
sum. It was always my rule to live
within my income. Any young man
who lo that will get along."
W L. Scott of Pennsylvania, with
$2G.(V3,O30. says he'd give the whole
twenty million for a good sound
stomach that would digest food. If
Scott, will come to Astoria we'll give
lilm a job that will fix his inside works
so that he can cat five square meals a
day and enjoy "em all. Dr. Abern
ethys advice to a rich dyspeptic, was
never equaled, llcrc it is: "Live on
sixpence a day, and earn it.'
Tits effort to have a change in the
military headquarters of the depart
ment of ihe Columbia to Seattle has
been deservedly unsuccessful, and the
headquarters and hindquarters of the
army's representatives in the north
west will reaiaiu at Vancouver.
TannK is one paper at least in Ta
coma that does not wear the collar of
thcXorthcru Pacific Railroad com
Iiuy. It is the Ifctr-t. It speaks
plaiuly and candidly, and claims that
the iutcrcsts tr ihal growing city are
leiug sacrificed to the corporate greed
of that great railroad monopoly.
WxxDnLti Evstox, the oldest and
one of the most successful real estate
men in San Francisco delivered a
lecture on "lkcal Estate." and busi
ness methods, in San Francisco last
Friday. Among oihcr thimrs he said:
There is another important factor, aud
that is advcitising. Jn my lifetiuio I
have written hnndrtds of hooks and
wEi phi els on real estate subjects, bnt
after all this experience of twenty-seven
years 1 have come to the. firm conclusion
to do no more of that, bnt advertise in
UeBewp-uiers! Everybody" reads them.
Civni service reform is having a
hard time of it. The American theory
is for frequent changes in all public
offices, and for every American boy to
have an honest chance, whether he
seeks it in iwlitics or elsewhere.
There is no American sympathy for a
life-holdiug class in office, and no real
American sympathies attending the
preseBt" experiment of creatiug a pro

fession of office holders. The people's
name is taken in vain by such reform
ers as have set up in America iu later
years to try and teach the people to be
indifierent in public affairs. Here is
the point that Americans guard most
jealously of all things else. They have
not watched history in vain. They
realized the truth stated by Hallam
in his great work on constitutions,
that ".all governments begin as
pure Democracies, drift into
oligarchies and end in monarchies,"
They do not believe in the English
theory of superior classes and life
holding classes. Their own acts, and
not the theory of reformers, constitute
their own opinions. All officers under
their own control they change every
two years or four, whether in town
ship, city, district, state or nation.
Never anywhere have the American
people made the least expression in
favor of a life-tenure in civil office.
The claim of the mugwump that the
people who favor a life-holding class
in office, if subjected to the people
themselves, would be rejected by 10,
000,000 votes.
There is perhaps no single agency
that exerts the influence in the
growth of a city as does a live news
paper. This influence is not alone
felt at home, but abroad, in a thousand
wavs that alvravs redound to the last
ing benefit of a town boasting of a
progressive journal. A public journal
is, after all, but a mirror in which
every phase of the community in
which it is published is most truth
fully reflected, Dead towns do not
contain any large numbers of reading
people in their midst, and a dead
town never yet supported anything
but an uninteresting and insipid news
paper. As a means of dissemi
nating information of the com
munity in which it is published its
effect is widespread. Business men
from abroad carefully scan its columns
for the advertisements that it
regularly carries, as an index to the
extent and class of trade of the town;
intending settlers and investors pay
particular attention to the list of im
provements and the daily transfers of
property, regularly given publication
in its columns, while still others turn
to its social features and small gossip
which after all has much to do in deter
mining the question of the desirability
of the town as a permanent place
of residence. A paper of a low moral
lone must necessarilly cater to a
class of people from whom it derives
a large portion of its patronage, and
a paper of this stamp always flour
ishes only in a town where the tone of
morals is decidedly loose. The whole
makeup of the paper is taken by the
intelligent observer as an index of the
size and importance of the place in
which it is published and which so
correctly portrays the progressive or
non-progressive spirit of its citizens.
