In Conclusion. i(,I

The following appears in the last
edition of the Evening Budget:
'I will state that 1 went to the AS
torian office on the evening before the
last meeting of the council to obtain
some information regarding the pass
ing of the license ordinance. and Mr..
Rathom editor of the paper told me
that eight of the councilmen were go
ing to vote for the ordinance, and that
one Of the councilmen had been infiu-
enced for the consideration of 800, or
words to that effect
A, w. UTZINGER.
This matter is only a very secondary
concern in relation to the real question
at issue. Incidentally 1t is an outrage
Gus lie. Mr.. Utzinger came into this
office not ito obtain some information
regarding the passing of the license or
dinance." He must be a little forget
full or very stupid. When he; went
away from here he LETT behind him a
little billet doeux. Let us try to jog his
memory. Mr.. Utzinger visited this of
flee on the night of Monday the goth
inst. He was total stranger to the
editor and introduced himself. He ex-
planned the object of his visit very
briefly. These are the words he used:
i've got little article here. / want
you to run it in your editorial columns.
Read it,"
The editor took the paper. 1t con-
tanned some lines written in lead PEN
cil warning the city councillors that
"a public Office was a public trust" and
cautioning them against advocating the
passage of the ordinance in what was
meant to be mysterious language.
What do you want me to do with
this?" asked the editor
Run it in your editorials, told you,
said the individual. What will it come
to? I'll foot the BILL" and he dived
down into his pocket with the air of a
man that owned The Astorian and any
thing else that came along.
He was told in pretty round language
of the little error he had fallen into,
and went away. Unfortunately for
himself, however, he left his editorial
behind him. That document the editor
now has in his possession.
And Mr.. Utzinger only came ''to OBJ
tain some information.
Mr. Utzinger came in with the pur-
pose of attempting to shamefully buy
the editor of this paper, for his own
ends. He came in and offered to pay
a sum of money as a bribe for the use
Of The Astorian's editorial space on be-
half of himself and his swarm of COM
panions, who with the Evening Budget,
a tool in their hands, are fighting, tooth
and nail, to defeat the gambling or
dinance.
And he has the boldness to assert
that the editor of this paper, who had
known Mr.. Utzinger for just three min
utes, opened his heart and told him
that "a councilman had been bribed
with $780,"
And Mr.. Utzinger only came into the
office to obtain "some information"
But he forgot the tell tale writing
he left behind him, that stamps his
statement as a base fabrication, anr
that shows up the cause he is advo-
eating in it's true light.
The Astorian wishes no further con-
troversy on this subject. The best way
to tell a crooked stick is to lay a
straight stick alongside 1t.

There was a rumor on the streets
yesterday to the effect that Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., of San Francisco, had
decided to abandon their Columbia
river traffic and transfer their grain
ships to Puget Sound. The Astorian
telegraphed to San Francisco to ascer-
tain the truth. The answer came back
last evening as follows:
Robert Balfour states that the re-
port that his firm is about to transfer
its headquarters for grain shipments
to Europe from the Columbia river to
Puget Sound is ridiculous, and that 1t
is emphatically not So"
