REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. tenance of a relief department as a necessary adjunct to the government there were at the end of last year twenty-four paupers subsisting on gov ernment charity In every thousand of the population, or about 2 1-2 per cent, and this, too, when all the papers of tho kingdom have been discussing for years what they denominate an ap palling Increase In the dependent classes. Of course every well-informed person knows the governor's statement to be a falsehood, and a vile slander on his own people, and Intended only for political and sensational effect; but the mischief of it lies In the fact that a majority of the governor's followers are not informed on any subject, and these will swallow the statement and be rendered thereby even more des perate and discontented than they now -W. P. LOUD, of Marlon are, and less open to reason and the dissemination of reliable Information. If the man who deliberately makes such statements, knowing the effect they are likely to have on a certa)n class of minds, Is not an enemy to society, then neither were Fielden, Schwab and Spies, of Chicago Haymarket Infamy.

If It Is expected that the subsidy com mlttee shall discharge Its responsible and, In some respects, ungrateful task so as to produce the earliest and best results, it must have the moral and reasonable financial support of every business man and property owner In the community. That the committee han displayed unusual energy, and that it Is composed of competent and thoroughly earnest men, is amply evidenced by tin magnificent subsidy they have raised, and the fnot that they have now before them for consideration the offer of (i ayndlcato of capitalists with ample means and ability to build the road. There is such a tllsiKmltlon unions men In the case of every public enter prise wliero a committee or agent has been especially appointed, for a particular object, to shoulder all the responsibility and work upon such agent and committee and then stand bock and wait for developments or results, that It often happens In particular emergencies such committee or agent Is obliged to assume reitionsl IilUtles and obligations not contemplat ed In the original undertaking, and of which the general public have nc knowledge or conception. So In the case of the railroad committee. These gen tlemen have performed labor and given time to work which It was necessary to do In order to bring about the present good showing, that no one but them selves has any knowledge of, and not only have they given of their time, tal ents and labor far more than Was orig inally expected of them, but they have been obliged to go down In their pock et and repeatedly produce their own private funds In aid of some of tho de tails of the schemes on hand; and it ii understood that besides tho fundi which they have thus raised and ap plied there are accounts due and out standing which must be paid, or very serious emliarrassment may ensue to the negotiations now In progress, ond which seem so promising of Immediate results. It Is understood that Dr. Kin ney, the chairman of tho committee, has authorised Mr. W. II. Smith to so licit the financial aid so essential to the committee at this critical time. Let every man upon whimi Mr. Smith may call extend such assistance as he car afford, to the end that the work of tho committee Khali go forward wthout de- ln'- If it be true, as Coxey says, that he doesn't read the newspapers, how does he know the number In the common weal army? Where Is the Irving club, that so dl- tlngulshod a visitor as Hon. T. J. Clark son, of Omaha, Is allowed to stumble around without a guide In Astoria? The people of Astoria ere not In the humor to stand much more trifling In the railroad matter. The time has now come when, In the vernacular of the road, "Somebody has got to put up or shut up." mmmmmm m. By the way, what brings Mr. Clarkson to Astoria, and leads him to make such a minute examination of its harbor facilities? ' There may be a difference of opinion as to whether the proposition for the railroad submitted by Mr. Lutz and his associates can or cannot be accepted by the subsidy committee, but It should tend greatly to Astoria's encouragement that in times like the present any set of men can be found who, upon any kind of Inducement, cun be got to think seriously of Investing money In a new railroad enterprise. The responsibility i resting upon the committee Is great end onerous, and they nre liable to become the subject of much adverse criticism whatever they moy d , and It Is doubt ful If the general public have any ade (mate realization of the dlffleultieB and embarrassments which beset them. It Is plain to anyone that If a railroad Is to be built at all, Astoria's good de mands that It shall be done with the least possible delay, and the proposl lion now before the committee may be viewed fi'om two different stand points. The mere fact, n8 has been said before, that money la forthcoming In the present financial stringency to build the road goes to prove that there Is something In the situation of the city and Its future prospects worthy of the attention of the most conservative In ellned capitalists, and It may be only a question with any one of the several syndicates now figuring on the work how much the citizens of Astoria and vicinity enn be Induced to contribute In aid of the scheme. In that aspect of the case, they may all be only playing the people for a larger bonus than will sufTlce to settle the question, with the underlying Intention all the -time to commence the real woik Just as soon as It Is determined whnt the utmost limit of the people's ability or willing ness to give may be. On the other hand, It Is thought by many that the Dwyer eoinfMiny represents the only real capi talists now concerned with the subject, and that some of the other syndicates heretofore prominent in this connection are only Jobbers and volunteer specif lators Interested for what they can realize as middle men, and that they have been here merely to get the best offer possible from the local interests, to be hawked about until some deal at some time in the more or less remote future can bo made with ' men of mcuus on a good :nnrgln to them selves. In this latter view It would be a great blunder If the committee failed to make some sort of iwjguln with the Dwyjr syndicate on the most feasible terms. It may be snid that while the amount of bonus demanded seems large, It should be bourne In mind that with the building of the road the gains to all classes of property holders will make the present sacrifice seem Inconsidera ble, and If the rood is hot built the subsidy tendered will revert to the donors and they can still hold It for whatever It Is actually worth.
