ASTORIA. OREGON:
1 K1DAY.
HAY 23. 1890
Citvxml County OMcIal Paper.
Gdo.P. 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. Xeanwhile The Asto-

max believes that owners oE wharf
property which is rented wholly or
in part by printing establishments
would do well to keep it insured.
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! Listen to
my wail of toe. She had a seat in the
end of the pew, listen to my wail of
toe; and a man with his seat in view,
put his cowhide boot on her kangaroo.
Oh whew! Oh whew! Listen to my
wail of toe.
