With tine decided advent of spring, the blooming of flowers, songs of birds and bright, warm sunshine, has come a general feeling of encouragement sand confidence all over the city, Nothing bo dispels the clouds and re news hope aa the smiling faoe of na ture, and when favorable natural eonditaws exist, backed up by the de termination of vigorous and entorprw- fcur men to strain every nerve to push forward public prosperity in the com munity in which they live, aid in the growth of their city along safe and permanent lines, sumotmng has to give way and take the place of the old lethargy. Sue a state of affairs baa developed In Astoria, and thre la every indication that it wfil be followed to Its logical conclusion. The - J v-. ... iv. n ouhc v, V.' I . " I. cur upon us. and the people are expecting great things out of Nazareth in 1S97. Wars and rumors of wars fill the Eu rODean air. a railroad war of eicant c proportiune threatens the 'United States, the result of the supreme court decision in the trans-Missouri case tinder th? anti-trust law, which, de spite all efforts, may unsettle bus'ness throughout the land yet the little A toria railroad is dally nearing comple tion and its relations already estab lished to transcontinental tines are such as to guarantee success from the butttset. Following the rail road H is well known that several Industrial enUrprUM-s, suirpltm-mtary to It, and which will establish the tin pan brigades so much needed In Asv toria, are under consideration for this season, and will be inaugurated if proper support can be obtained. As a result of these great changes, can be seen in ithe near future the building up here of onj of the greatest com mercial canters on the Pacific coast and the establishment of a large Ori ental traffic. If the latest rumors from London are correct, that J. J. Em, the president of ith? Great NV-nh-arn, has succeeded in effecting a com bine of that roa1 with the Northern Pacific, Northern Steamship Co., the Canadian Pacific and the Baltimore & Ohio, the magnitude and conse quence of the deal can hardly be es timated, and despite broken asicia tkins and rate wars, which will be hut temporary (as the feod .-cue of the American people will firoe con gress to legalize tfo? polling of rea sonable rates), Astoria will receive its full meed of profit and benefit fiom the combination, which cannot fail to add to Its prosperity In hundreds of different directions. Added to this, the interest of the .ou;hern Pacific here, its reported acquirement of the O. It. & X., and possibly the Sh rt Line (already outlined In the press dis patches, and the reported appoint ment of T. F. Oake? as president of the O. R. & N.), It can be e-en that Astoria will be one of the Important termini of the great transcontinenitaj railways and will play no unlmport. ani'part In the inevitable rearrange ment of the Western railway check r board. Why should we not h'dd up our heads? . The democrat who are ridiculing the legal effect of the retroactive clause of the Dingle y bill have short memorif, or are Ignorant of the fact that their own party established the precedent for hat provision of the law. it la baaed right square on the fcrfsfcjo of the United States supreme oourt Involving- a similar provison of th Wilson aot. The Wilson, bill did mil Iwoonm a law unlH August 2. ISM, though it declared that duties should be levfcd on and alter AuguM 4. It was ptwllnti, thetvfor. nvariy a iiuh after the Inner date. The supreme court decided that the rates became operative on the date divlaivd by he act, although that date was twonty-four day before the bill he came a law. If Oreov and Turkey annihilate eaoh other; ISuKsia and France agree to disagree; England, France and Italy make a new team, and Ku.o, Germany and Austria take pot luck together there may result such a sia;e of afTiilnt as will leave the Tutted States the only white nation en earth with plenty of vht, canned taltn it and pn-k to sell at reasonable prices. The opening so successfully of the fishing stfrtsen. Just at the c: lebrution of Easter, will add much to the j and tutppiness of hundreds of Astor lans.
