ASTORIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY.
.. SEPTEMBER 4. 1890
A W1XDY BRAGGART.
The irresponsible Columbian in
some of its editorial vaporings yester
day morning, declares that it has
printed the facts in regard to the
progress of the electric motor line
project, and tbat it bas given its sup
port and encouragement to the en
terprise. As usual, tbe Columbian states
that -which is the reverse of the truth,
in an attempt to misrepresent Tnc
Aetoriax.
Tbe Columbian admits its own ir-
rofponsibility, and says it does not
ovm anything; yet it assumes the
ability to manage successfully the
business and enterprises of those who
have demonstrated their ability and
good judgment by earning the owner
ship of their property.
The idea of the Columbian sup
porting a business enterprise is one
"which will cause tbe promoters of the
electric motor line to smile a sarcastic
smile.
The truth of the matter is, that the
promoters of the .electric motor line
told the mismanagement of the Col
umbian that tbe extravagant state
ments and unfounded reports of flatter
ing progress that have appeared in
that paper were doing the scheme
more harm than good.
Ir. Sharpstein, tbe man to whom
is due the credit of effort to bring the
electric motor scheme to a successful
end, was compelled to administer a
cutting rebuke to the Columbian in
an endeavor to make that senseless
sheet understand that sensational and
fictitious reports of progress would be
an oljstaclo to success.
In a communication to the Colum
bian of September 1st, Mr. Sharp
stein says: ''It is best not to delude,
ciUjor those who may be watching de
velopments or even ieopc who do not
care, by an assurance of that which is
at present most dubious.'
The Columbian has no moral sense
and has only a desire to be sensational.
JtTvould go a hundred milc3 around
to tell a lie rather than staud still and
tell the truth.
Tbe Columbian, in a bantering sort
of way, says that it will subscribo
more toward the enterprise of a motor
line than will Tun Astokiax.
A subscription paper tbat bad no
more rcsioiiPible name than that of
the Columbian upon it wouldn't be
worth as much as a check on a sand
bank.
If the Columbian bas five hundred
dollars in coin it can find several
places in this city where it would be
Teccived with thanks and it would
make the Columbian' credit just five
hundred dollars belter than it is at
present.
Be just before you are generous.
If tbe Columbian is anxious to
achieve a reputation for financial
solidity, let them prove tbat they pay
as much coin to their hired help every
Saturday night as does Tiie Asromxs.
You don't do it and you can't do it.
AiioxG the prominent men of this
country is Eev. "Wdliam H. Milburn,
the blind chaplain of the House of
Representatives. He is now in San
icisco, and proposes visiting Ore-
and "Washington. It is to be
loped that be will include Astoria in
bis rounds, for be is a remarkable
man, and has been so long prominent
ly before tbe public as a preacher,
lecturer and an author, that his visit
would be appreciated and enjoyed
by all.
-old ironsides;
A Gallant Vessel Now a Receiving
at Portsmouth Navy Yard.
Ship
The frigate Constitution (Old. Iron
sides), that stands at the head ot the
list of honor of the ships of America's
early naval history, is now a receiving
ship at the navy yard at Portsmouth,
K. H. There are not many men who
have not recited in their school days
Oliver "Wendell Holmes" tribute to the
gallant old vessel, beginning:
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Tjong has it waved on high;
And many an cyo has danced to sec
That banner in the sky.
"Old Ironsides" was built in Boston
in the years 1794-97, under a law ap
proved by "Washington March 27,
1791, and was launched on the 20th of
September, 1797. The list of her cap
tains contains the names of Nicholson,
Talbot, Preble, Decatur, Eogors, Hull,
Bainbridge and others men renowned
for nautical skill, bravery and devo
tion to their country, and no one of
whom ever brought defeat or dishon
or upon the gallant craft intrusted to
his command.
Her first gun at an enemy was dis
charged August 3, ISai, when an attack ,
was made on the American squadron '
then in the Mediterranean sea by the j
Tripolitan forts. In 1S12, shortly
after the declaration of war with En-J
gland, the Constitution met and cap-;
tared the British slup Guerriere, an
action that will ever be memorable in I
the records ot naval warfare. The i
Constitution was under command of,
vapcun xsaac xinu, wim a crew oi 3UU i
men, while the Guerriere was com-
uuuiueu uv iipuim o. j.u iacres, Willi
400 men. Both captains had met so
cially before the war, and had then
discussed the merits ot the two
vessels. When they spoke of what
-rould happen if, in the event
ot war. they should come into col
lision, Hull said: "Take care of that
ship ot yours, if I ever catch her in
tbe Constitution." Darces laughed,
sod offered a haudsome bet that if
ever they did meet as antagonists, his
wura nucwu iiuu uui HIS iniSKlKC.
Hull refused a money wager, but
offered to stake on the issue a hat.
Years after, when the conjectured en
co&Bksr did occur, and when, after a
deefterate fight, tho English frigate be
ckbo x total wreck, Captain Dacres
eae on board the Constitution and
offered his sword to his captor. "No,

Superstition in Germany.
A month's imprisonment for occas
ioning the death of a woman by cut
ting open one of the veins in her arm
appears a light sentence; but prob
ablyalthough no statement to that
effect is made the German tribunal,
before which a man named Michael
Stankewitz appeared charged with
the crime, took into consideration that
be acted under the influence of a
superstitious belief in sorcery and
witches. The accused, a mason by
trade, employed at Dantzic, came to
the conclusion a short time ago that
his wife was bewitched, on what
ground does not appear. Ho also
came to the conclusion that the
person who had cast a spell
on her was a poor old creature
named Nixdorf, and to break the
spell be determined to bleed the al
leged sorceress in the arm, his wife
drinking her blood. Unfortunately,
the operation was attended with fatal
consequences. The old woman, whose
constitution was already weakened by
age and privation, succumbed to loss
of blood, and the authorities, hearing
of the affair, arrested tbe mason. He
has been lei off easily, and possibly,
from bis own point of view, he de
served no punishment whatever for
i ridding society of a "witch." It
seems strange, however, that in mis
enlightened age, and in a civilized
country, a man in his right senses
should be found to believe in witches,
spells and similar superstitions non
sense. London (Standard.
Tact, though partly a natural gift,
is a good deal indebted to education
and early habits. The superiority of
one sex to the other in tills respect
will often bo found to depend on art
quite as much as upon nature.
Those who discbarge promptly and
faithfully all their duties to those
who "still live" in the flesh, can have
but little time for peering into the life
beyond the grave. Better attend to
each world in its proper order. Tlor-
