Last Tuecday' Astorian contained a column editorial headed, "A Word of Warning," every paragraph of which be gan, "Let the Clatsop county delegate beware." Those six words were all that waa original about It. The balance wa cribbed bodily from Bradstreet of the preceding week, and th cunning editor, with a wlft trok of genius, "locallaed" the opinion of the New York paper by telling "the Clatsop county delegate to beware" of the evil which It deplored. And thl la Journalism." The beau tdeU of an editor, according to the notion of the gentleman from Missouri, Is the man who can best steal the brains of somebody else, and who t shrewd enough to be able to cover up the theft. It U a laudable ambition. As every reader of the pap?' know. It haa always been the policy of the As torian to Ignore the misrepresentations and slanderous attack of the vile and Irresponsible class of newspaper sheets, of which the Astoria, Herald In a chief and leading representative, but the rea sons for such a course, have, perhaps not been obvious to all, and the Astorian claim the Indulgence of Its readers for a limited space In briefly setting some of them. In the llrst placi, the Astorian lie Be vca that it Is a notice In Its column that the fellows who run these newspa pers mostly crave, and that the keenest satisfaction they could possibly derive from the malignant and Unprovable lie they Invent and print from time to time, would be the apparent perturbation and enaeern Involved In the Astorian' refuta tion or reply to them. A second reason Is that If the Astorian noticed anything printed In these paper It would tend to dignify or exalt them. In the mind of superficial and outside readers, to the plane of equality and competition they covet with the Astorian, and which they are totally unfitted by education, ullure, training, decency, good manner cr standing In the community to occupy or aspire. These papers have their deld in As toria; they are evidently wa ited, and re ceive a patronage from some element In th community or they would not exist, and they doubtless will, fir - t at least,, continue to -moy sufficient sup port, iw. ee"p men The Astorian ha no 'luarrel with them AbODt tiiis, i. or does It propose, or care to criticise the taste or quality of the people) who tolerate, read or enjoy the kioii of matter with which they ere filled. It Was long ago realised by this paper that It .could do no good In this diiection, If It would, and It ha dismissed the whole matter' and purged Its cons.-ience by simply uniting with the Psalmist In his pious but hopeless ejaculation, "Can the Ethiopian change tils color or the Leopard his spots?" As already stated, these papers have their place, and so baa the Astori.in. It ha so desire or intention of disturb ing or trespassing In any way their par ticular and peculiar territory nor neither can they that of the Astorian. Koth classes occupy their respective held by the law of natural selection and the right of merit, and the dscencts and refinements of ordinary dvllUed society forbid either from Intruding upon the other. Before dismissing the subject there Is, however, one offense which the Her ald has lately repeated so often and with such unblushing affrontery that It be comes the Astorian's duty to deal with it more specifically. The offense Is that contained In the paragraph at the head of this article charging the A-i'omn wUh habitually filling Its editorial column with matter taken from other papers. Tnls charge would not ordinarily be a serious one, because It has become a custom and legitimate usage among leading .ltwspa pers. In times of public agitation, or ar dent political discussion, to seek to im press their readers with the Ideas and lessons of their own convictions by freely using the materials and suggestions pro vided In the writings of recognized authorities. If It was simply a matter of Ignorance or random guess with the Herald, 'the Astorian would not complain at this anxiety to have its articles ac credited to other source, for the Asto rian seeks no praise for doing what It conceives to be it conscientious duty, as a quasi public Institution, respecting the questions of the hour, and If Its ut terances are deemed of such unusual force and dignity as to merit such a mode of advertisement, even In the Herald, so much the better for the truth of its teaching; but there Is reason to believe the author of the paragraph In question knows better, and that he deliberately adopts a course of perverting the truth because he thinks lie can thus give an added sting to his coarse abuse i nd low vilification of the Astorian. He not only says the article referred to In bis paragraph was stolen, but he names the last number of Eradstreets as the source from which It was taken. And now that he may have no chance to resort to his usual tricks of equivoca tion, and to the end that lie may stand convicted as a dastardly and unscrupu lous scoundrel with such of the public as do not already know him, and for no other purpose, the Astorian chalk'tigc him to reproduce one senvnee or won a slnitte Idea contained In that article, from Hradstrcet or any other paper; nnd In order (hat he may have a suthVlcnt In ducement for so doing, the Astrol tn here and now brands him for what he has said In the paragraph quote! as a wilful, deliberate, premeditated, malicious and unprincipled Hnr. The Astorian prints this morning a statement from Mr. J. F, V. Johnson, a man of the highest r?HftMllty and one of the oldest flshonven on the Col umbia river. Mr. Johnson's version Is the best explanation yet made of the fishermen's side of the unfortunate fish ing controversy, and It is really unfor tunate that could not have been pub lished sooner. A It Is, however, the Astorian has had It telegraphed in full to the Examiner, at San Francisco, and a fair summary wo also sent, through the Associated l'ress, to all the promi nent Eastern papers. Thl statement goes far to set the fishermen rlRht In the matter, and totally relieves them from the charge which have been spread far and wide that they have been and are Intending to resort to acts of vio lence in order to carry their point with the packers. EASTER MORXIXa The st-me taken away from the sepulchre. John, x.v.. 1. I Imagine that astonishment reached Its utmost limits wh-n the people of Jerusa lem learned that some one had rolled the stone away and that the tomb was empty. A great many declared, and with some show of reason, that what had apparently happened had certainly not really happened. How could It hap pen? they asked each oth-r disdainfully. Was He not dead, and was not His death attested by the spear which en tered His side? Were not specially in structed guards sent to watch the place, and do Roman soldier fall In their duty when death Is the penalty of neglect? How, then, does It come about that so strange a rumor fills the air? There was scarcely a household In the whole magnificent city which nn the morning of that third day was not pro foundly stirred. Cheeks were flushed as the facts were related, and the discussion of possibilities waxed hot. Some shrugged their shoulders with contemp tuous Incredulity, and others simply re plied: "He said He would rise ngaln. and Ho has kept Ills word " We of a later generation, living In an environment of scientific marvels, hesi tate before declaring that anything Is Impossible. Experience has taught us caution, for what our fathers could not believe we do not only believe but ex plain by laws hitherto unknown. When we have been told heretofore that Christ appeared to the disciple in that upper room, the door being shut, even the most reverent among us have been unwilling It not unable to argue the mat ter. But recent discoveries have opened up a new world to our wondering eyes. We have hardly yet recovered from our bewilderment at the statement of what has been accomplished, and scarcely dare think of the further miracles that may be achieved in the near future. Hu not the foremost science Just declared thit among other miracles It miy yet be able to pass a solid through a solid, ami have not all our notions of th? Impossible been thus scattered to the four winds? On this Easter morning, for the llrst time in twenty centuries, he sudden appear ance of Christ tn that nrp- room strike n n .Jot entirely .Uranae. A whole suit of higher laws laws whl-h thrill us with wonder and gratitude, laws the very contemplation of which moistens the eyes and makes the heart feverish with excitement are helng discovered. It seems as though heaven itself were not far oft and as though the hour had struck when Christ, who once said, "1 have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now," had be gun to make a second revelation. "How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?" These are questions to which answers are easily found. Nature has herself suggested them. For Instance, on that leaf in your garden crawls a common grub. It Is ungraceful In Its motions and unat tractive In appearance. Tou doubt my word when I tell you that within the body of that crawling creature are packed away a pair of wings which will some day come Into use; that from this low form of existence will be evolved something so entirely different that you cannot recognise any relation between the two: that It will slough off thl slimy coil and become a thing of heau'y, cut ting the air with many '.olorcd wings and sipping honey from every fragrant flower. Tou doubt all this, unless you have had experience In such matters; refer me.to the sharply drawn lines be tween the possible and the Impossible, and hint something about the credulity of thofce who believe In fairy talcs. Nevertheless, the new creature Is hidden In the old, and In good time the grub will stitch away at Its own shroud. It will fall upon sleep, and when the deli cate and marvelous chance has been made It will burst Its bonds nnd emerge a butterfly. Hardly more strange than that Is man's passage from the mortal to Immortality. Untried faculties are hidden In every hu man soul, like the wings In the pruli, and at no time In this lower life do they come Into full ply.
