Henry Ward Beecher Said of the Strawberry, "God doubtless might have made a better berry but it was doubtful if he ever had." So we say of our Easter Cards and novelties, "somebody might possibly have better, but it was very doubtful if any body about here ever has. If they have, the stock has never put in an appearance in Astoria and the people who have ex amined ours know this to be a fact" Added to this fact comes the further beauty of it, there is none sold for so little money, talk or no talk.

In accordance with the call which was published In these columns yes terday, the subsidy committee of dl- rectlon met at the council chambers yesterday morning, for the purpose discussing business of the utmost lm portance. In consequence of the an nouncement, there was no little cuiiosl ty manifested as to the nature of the business to be discussed. A few minutes after the meeting was called to order, however, a rousing cheer Indicated that Joyful news had been received. The cheer was caused by the rending of dispatch from R. W. Baxter, to the. ef fect that he was read;' to fign the con tract for the construction of the rail road. Several members of the commit tee expressed themselves us anxious to have Mr. Baxter come down to this city, and a dispatch containing a re quest to that effect was Immediately sent. The reply was received shortly af terward, and contained the Information that on account of the damage occa sioned by the wash-out It was Impossi ble for Mr. Baxter to leave Portland and requesting the committee to go up there. Accordingly, arrangements were made to have all the m-M,i era of the commit tee leave for Portland this evening, and all deeds must be placed in the hands cl Mr. Patton without delay. The committee of direction will meet again this morning, In compliance with the following call: Astoria, March 15, 1894. An especial meeting of the subsidy committee of direction Is called for this morning at 10:30 o'clock, at the city council chamber. Every member Is ex pected to attend promptly for consider ation of important business. ALFRED KINNEY, President. A call for a meeting of the subscrib ers to the subsidy has also been issued, as follows: Astoria, Ore., March IS, 1894. A meeting of the contributors to the subsidy, of Inside property will be held at city hall at 2 p. in. Friday, March 16, to lake final action thereon and de termine whether or not same shall be deposited with trustee. Your attend ance Is requested. B. VAN DUSEN, Secretary. It Is not considered likely that any hitch will occur In the arrangements.and the contract will in all probability be signed tomorrow. Two of the deeds of subscribers to the subsidy were handed In with "strings" attached, but one of them was made an unconditional trans fer yesterday, and similar action will doubtless be taken today with regard to the other.. The absolute necessity for all deeds to be placed In escrow at once Is thus made apparent, and all subscribers may feel satisfied that their enterprise will be rewarded tenfold before the expira tion of the coming summer.

The democratic and republi can parties are united to sustain the single gold standard; destroy all gov ernment Issues of legal tender money and increase the national debt to per petuate the bank, monopoly. Our motto Is full and unlimited coinage of silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1; the issue by the government of moiiey all of whlch 'tnusl be full legal tender, without the inter vention of the banks; opposition to an increase of the national debt by the Is suance of Interest-bearing bonds in times of peace.'
