Howell fc Co. publish a list of the best or most widely circu lated and influential newspapers issued ..t important business centers tlirongli- at the omutry the newspa per in each place that gives the advertiser the most for his money. On this list Tun Astoriax is named for Astoria. The cur wbo tried to bulldoze a candidate says be doesn't like to be ""called a blackmailer." "Well, then, don't blackmail. It was funny to prod The Astouian every day for mouths, but when we turned a little light upon their prac tices it wasn't near so funny. Did jon ever turn a flat rock or slab over nnd see the dirty twining nest of loath some shaies that wriggled in the light? Tliose fellows can't stand the light They skulk at midnight, and prove by their efforts that "ho who will lie will steal. Tin: valiant purloincrs of paint to daub electric light poles and city fonctis are getting ready for another raid. The hen roosts will suffer next. Linen a mirror The Astokiak usually rejects without speaking: It also ha3 f.w its rule, "do unto others as others Jo unto you." It reflects back the image thrown upon it If a man, even an euemj, is gentlemanly and cour teous, this paper is equally so, but when a brace of curs come snapping &ml snarling at our heels it is not in lewspaper nature to stand it forever, liven a barrel hoop will turn and hit ion m the shins it you tread on it The Columbian yesterday says it "uas no money to throw away.'' Very likely: that disposes of that proffered S1.O00 bet: no chance to get them to put up. They know they'd lose. The Columbian cur denies being in The Astoiuan's coal cellar: of course a sneak who would do such a trick would lie out of it it possible. He will probably, ;ilso, deny prowl ing around Hie editorial office of this paper and trying to slip in when no one was around to get a loolc at the manuscript that had l)cen read in proof and flung in tho waste basket Tin: Columbian thinks it is very nnpretty for The Astobiax to devote so much space to a ventilation of its rascality. Well, you were looking for it weren't you? What did you ex pocti You jibed and taunted, and kept saying mean things till you got to believing them yourselves. Nolody has a bit of jyrapathy for a brace of sharjers whose whole stock in trade has been bluff, brag and wind, backed by the lxvs. But he has backed out The boss read Itobiuson Crusoe and his man Friday the riot act yesterday. TIip tried to interrupt him, but he xsonldu't have it At tho last he told them that he never in God's world would have put up a cent if he sup led they'd have allowed The As toriax opportunity) say what it has. He wound up by telling them they were a pair of blanket blank chumps, and that he was sick and tired of the whole concern. He feels as though he hadn't got the worth of his monev. TnE boss has backed out He says he won't put up another blamed cent for the Columbian and is sorry he over had anything to do with it So are the others. This will be tough on the parasites who have had such a pudding. Give Judson Cole S4,G00 and he could 'run" a paper while tiie money lasted. The trick is to make a living without any "subsidy." And the candidates who were lapped in Portland failed to rcsond, too. Yerily, tho way of the transgressor is hard. The lxys realizo now it would bavelecn belter for them to have j-tarteil honestly. They now realize that doing the dirty bidding of another doesn't pay in the long run, or the jiort run. Fon the past few days Tnn Asto fiiAX has been engaged in a disagree- able duly, the exijesius: of mean and malicious efforts to malign character: a duty imposed upon this paper in its capcity of public servant While considerable latitude is and should be allowed a public print, yet, when, as in the present case, the privi lege of a paper has been overstepped, it devolves upon some member of the body politic to call the offending mem ber to order. This The Astomak has dose. It has extracted the venom from the f..ug sockets of the Second alKvt vipers, and hereafter their bite will be innocuous. Peo ple know them now, and estimate them at their true value. Tkey are rendered harmless, and, what ever their inclination, they have no locr the ability to bo successful scofwdrels.

Fire bugs who wouldn't hesitate to burn a dwelling house, are notlikely to shrink from a repetition of the ef fort if there was anything to be made bvit Recent remarks are but the prelude to the peem: the preface to the per per eormance: the overture to the opera. The thing will grow more interesting as it develops. The Astobian was in no hurry; it gave those chaps plenty of time. The mistake they made was in supposing that they could go on with impunity and elicit no remarks. Talc of Wee: Wall of Toe. A little corn on a maiden grew, lis ten to my wail of toe; caused by the pinch of a too tight shoe, instead of a three or a number two, it grew; listen to my wail of tee: As time went on (as time will do,) li&ten to my wail of toe; the corn waxed red the maiden blue, 'twas ten limes worse than the grip' (ketchew) too true!
