them can never be forgotten, or the

was his skill in hyroglyphical whiting

FdHsf he fpfeTior Jouuoi
In your excellent and spicy JouR.
NAL Of Janauary 7ih, you published,
rs editorial, this paragraph
Vet the clergy cease to be Jealous Of the
sisge, praise Il for whatever they can sec
good in IT, and lenounce only what they
see Of bad, and We will guarantee that the
good in each will revert To- the cause Of re-
ligion
Are We to understand, by this sen.
iimeni you put forth, that there is,
and DO You so teach, religious ele'
ment in the dramay II seem to me
very strange that any impartial Bible
reader can teach the idea that there is
any moral or religious good resulting
from stage performances. The drama,
in its very nature, must be a worldly
amusement. What are the strong in.
iiuences aud elements Of the stage in
its usual Terlormancesg The princi-
cipal species and meaning is tragedy,
which indicates grace and light nc.
tions Of the passions--secular and
worldly in their nature--and not holy
and spiritual, but producing false and
sometimes fatal issues, causing feel
ings Of sorrow and regret, as in loss
Of life BY violence, all Of which in
huences is directly the reverse Of
Christianity or religious teachings.
Now the question at issue is; Is
there a religious element in the drama,
as iniimated in your articley What
ever you private or individual views
may be as to the moral or immoral in
nuences OF stage performances, we
have nothing to say; but you, as a
public teacher, for we believe all edi.
tors and publishers Of newspapers are
teachers in a proper sense, and should
be responsible for what they say and
teach. The question at issue here.
th en-, We wish to have settled, not by
mere assertions, but by established
laws and principals Of ethical truth.
If the drama is a worldly amusement,
where is the element in it "ycreriing,'
or promoting the cause Of religion or
religious TRUTH The Bible says,
Glove not the world,neither the things
that are in the world; if any man
love the world, the love Of the rather,
is not in him. We can not serve two
masters at the same time. No man
can serve God and mammon." We
are, therefore, either ON the side with
God or with the devil. And again,
God says; "Be not coniormed to this
world" 1t is right, according to
moral truth, for a Christian III is the
true Christian we are talking about
to engage in worldly amusements, as
dramatized by the stagey To test
the matter with yourself: could the
true Christian, or can you, consistent
with your notions Of Christianity and
as n moral, upright man,wiIh an open
Bible before you, get down upon your
knees just before the curtain rises,
and ask God to grant blessing upon
the performances about to take place :
A Christian should not do any thing
that he can not ask Gods blessing up
on. These thoughts have been sug.
gested by reading your structures upon
the influence Of stage performances.
But in this natter ! desire no contro-
versy-simply wish to have the ques'
tion at issue answered and settled ac'
cording to the principles of moral and
religious ethics. And now, Brother
Walton, is there a religious element
IN the drama and stage performances,
"reverting' to and promotiye Of true
religion? A METHODIST.

Here is a lesson in politeness from
little fellow who is about eight years

TmE New WE'RE, "BoycorT.'-
In his lecture in New York on Mon.

the origin of Boycottiug. Boycott
compelled men to work at low wages,
and they at last rebelled, although he
owned the largest farms or was agent
for them. lie tried to get processes
served, but the people wouldn't allow
it. Finally the people ceased to have
anything to do with the Boycott fam
lily. The people wouldn't tradeat the

same school, or go to the same church.

The AStorian on Time.

When the reader saw the an
nouncement that THE AspoRIAN
would not appear as usual to-day,
but in the enlarged form in which
you see it now, some lost sight Of
the real purpose and feared that
the paper would not appear at all.
But here we are right on time, and
presenting a cheerful look which
we hope will be cheerfully y received
by all. 1t is hardly necessary to
say to the regular reader that THE
Historian will continue to preserve
its best moral and business tone.
We have no bitterness to vent, no
angry words to handy with any,
no personal interest to advance at
the expense of the general good;
and if we have any enemies we
do not care to know it, and cannot
afford to publish it. People of
Oregon, citizens Of Astoria, this
IS your newspaper; and we need
only your support to make it all
you can desire. Our aim is to
advance home interests. 1t is our
desire to bring our city, and state,
to notice before the world. Our
valleys are numerous, broad and
fertile. Our resources are abun-
dant. 1t will be our constant pur-
pose to advertise this fact to the
many who desire TO locate comfort
able homes here. From the begin
ming THE Historian has grown
with the state, and is filling an
important place as a local news
paper. Judging of the future by
the past, We confidently look for
ward to continued and increased
usefulness. Without indulging in
self-praise, we dismiss the subject
by assuring our friends that THE
AsToRIAN has become one of the
recognized institutions of Oregon,
and that in the future as in the
past will be found in the van in
every movement looking to the
general good Of the people; its
highest aim will be to contribute to
the general prosperity and intelli-
gence of the whole people; fearless
and independent in its advocacy
of the right, loyal to free rnstitu-
tions and sound morality; we
therefore confidently rely on the
continued support of an appreci-
ative public.

will stop where it is, as dueling

There is case actually In bointmin
one Of the States esstof the Western
Reserve, where 1t has been found that
a man was unjustly convicted and sent
to the penitentiary. The only way to
rectify the blunder as far as possible
is through the Executive pardon. 1t
has been promised and recommended
by the proper authorities. but the
President cannot be troubled with
business, and in the meantime the
man is wearing the garb OF a convict
until the pardon can be signed. His
name and that of the State are sup
pressed, out of regard for his reputa-
tion, that would suffer further Unjust
ioe through useless publicity. The
instance is bona fide, however, and is
just now a source of great embarrass-
ment to the Department of Justice
1t is urged by officials that if the Vice
President were clothed with the prop
er authority the matter could be ad-
justed in few minutes. The objec-
ton raised, however, is that
it is not clear upon whom
should devolve the duty If
saying that the constitutional 'inabil-
ity" exists that would make it obliga
tory upon General Arthur to act, and
there is a partisan sentiment that can
not be divorced from the subject. 1t
is also urged by the directors that
while the Constitution may provide
for the assumption of Presidential du
ties by the Vice President, there is
no provision for relieving him again
from the actual position Of President
alter he has once taken it. This puz.
zling question will probably be solved
before many weeks by the Presidents
returning health.
