ASTORIA. OREGON:
FK1 DAY
-AUGUST 2. 1KO
COLVXEXT O.V A FLIXG.
TnK following is the closing para
graph of the leading editorial in the
Columbian of last Thursday morn
ing, and it is herewith published in
this morning's Astokiax that it may
have publicity which it would other
wise lack:
"Suppose, for the sake of argument,
that the present board of directors had
Uiu control of the road, and William j
Kcid hrd as little interest in it as ,
Granger.' Suppose, too, that the
probity of these same directors i
was as great as their heads when
they were first elected directors. I
"Would the road bo in any better
hands than it is at the present time? It
can hardly be said tbot lteid is a better
linancier than any of the other members
of tlio directorv, but ho is certainly "not
quite so worse." lie possesses the happy
lacalty of being able to speak of "my
friend lluctington' and "me and Jim
Hill," without a blush, which certainly
inspires the undeserved confidence and
respect of the gullible. That is more than
the directors can do. They are satisfied
with saying, "D n Held." They do not
blush, inspire confidence, or, in fact, Co
anything else but d n." 9
See the dirty fling at the directors
of the Astoria and South Coast read:
by inference casting aspersions on the
probity of these directors, these solid
basiuess men of Astoria.
These men, by honesty, perseverance
and good management, have accumu
lated almost as much as the Colum
bian owes as a consequence of its
brief but abortive journalistic experi
ment. And then the Columbian ridicules
the financial ability of these same di
rectors and says that William Reid is
no better as a financier than tho other
members of the director-.
The idea of the mismanagcrs of the
Columbian criticizing tho financial
management ot anything is preposter
ous. Lot them turn over the list of their
accnmnlaling debts.
Let them contemplate their unpaid
and overdue telegraph bills.
Let them call the roll of their
printers, hammering at their doors on
Saturday nights for money enough to
pay for a shave, or an installment on
their weekly board bills.
These self-constituted financial crit
ics who are too improvident to own a
necessary ceramic article, shonld be
the last to criticize successful busi
ness men who have built up the town
which these slanderous drabs dis
honor. And last of all the Columbian
accuses both the directors anil Wm.
Roid of want of modesty!
Ye Gods! Such vulgar arrogance!
Through absence of modesty, this
croaking Columbian would essay to
riiame the saints.
A Washixctox dispatch ot the 20th
says: The committee on rivers and
harbors, in order to expedite business,
have recommended to the House that
all amendments to the river and harbor
bill bo non-concurred in, and the bill
sent immediately to conference. This
is not because the committee is
opposed to the Senate amend
ments, but the House has
tried the experiment of consider
ing an appropriation bill returned
from the senate in committee of the
whole, and the result was a ten days'
delmlc. The senate amendments to
the river and harbor bill would bo
likely to occupy nearly as much time.
Tho senate conferes on the bill expect
that it will take two or three weeks lo
agree in conference, but they hope lo
retain the most important of the
amendments.
Iikst Sunday's Astop.ian had an
article in which allusion was made lo
the collection of toll by Mr. Grimes
from persons using hi3 bridge across
the Nccanicnm. He sends a corn
ran nication in reply, jmd it is pub
lished on the local page. Any person
rolling aggrieved at anything in this
papor, -who sends an appropriate reply
for publication, can have the use of
the columns to defend himself or
maintain his position. The letter
"from 1lr. Grime'? speaks for itself, and
our rcadors can draw lheir own con
clusions. The Democrats of California have
nominated Reginald Del Valle, of Los
Angoles, as their candidate for lieu
tounnt governor. lie is an able man,
a native C.nlifornian, well educated,
active, onorgctic, an excellent speaker
and has made a ci editable record in
various officer, recently as state
senator. He has been ambitious for
congressional honors, but -was beaten
for congress by Col. H. IT. Markham,
now Ecpubiicau candidate for gov
ernor. No nomination has yet been
raadc by the Democrats, for governor
TnouGii it was reported that all
trouble was over on the Kew York
Central it now seems likely that to
morrow when the federation of rail
road men convenes at Terre Haute,
Indiana, a general strike on the entiro
Tanderbilt system will be or
dered. If so, it will be a great det
riment to business and a loss lo Uio
country in consequence of the delay
and expense which will bo involved.
Terr little good has ever resulted
from strikes, and generally they nro
disastrous in their effects.
Amcmnns ot fast horses will bo
pleased lo learn that yesterday after
noon in Poughkeepsie, New York, C.
J. Hamlin of Buffalo, a man over
Bovcnty years of age, drove a span of
marcs bred by himself, a mile in tho
unprecedented lime of 2.1Gif, amid
the wildest enthusiasm of the de
lighted spectators.

compelled by a British gunboat to
haul down its flag. It is claimed
to have been an outrage, and if satis
faction is not rendered there may be
trouble. Venezuela alone could not
cope against Great Britain, but the
queen of the sea has no right, nor can
she afford to be discourteous or in
sulting even lo a small nation, for
other powerful countries might assist
the weaker one in maintaining her
dignity and securing her rights. The
powerful should be gracious.
FOREIGN' NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Germany is to make no change in
her sugar tax.
The Hebrews ot New York are
building another hospital.
In St Petersburg, Russia, you can

Count de la Mirandi, the husbaud

pointed under secretary of stalo to
the new Spanish ministry.
Telephoning has been accomplished
between St. Petersburg and Bologne,
2,401 miles. Russian engineers pro
pose talking -1,GG3 miles.
The Italian minister of agriculture
has recently purchased in England a
splendid stallion named Melton for
S30.000. It is intended for the royal
stables at Vauaria and Pisco.
A trumpet 2,000 years old, recently
found in county Down, is a fine speci
men of such handicraft of that day. It
is a war tnimpct 8 feet 5 inches long,
and gives a tremendous blast when
provoked.
Numbers of Hindoos wore recently
seen wandering about the Lahore ba

Honduras.
Bv a new invention in Austria rinss

Prince Henry of Batleuberg and a
companion went poaching with ferrets
the other day in Hampshire. The

Mr. Gladstone fell flat in the middle
of Regent street the other day in the
midst of a perfect labyrinth of drays
and carriages. An iustant later ho
was up and off again as if hia limbs
were still full of the vjgor and alert
ness of youth.
That England intmls to go lo Mec
ca one of these days is clearly indi
cated by recent utterances in the En
glish press. Pilgrims have been
treated so badly at Mecca of late
years that the Turks and Egyptians
arc beginning lo bo very anxious to
SC3 Mecca in neutral hands.
