Astoria Cursed by One OF the Most
Loathsome Of the Glass.

The Oregonian:-
Almost every small town allows some
vile publication calling itself a news
paper to live by threatening TO make
exposure OF the peccadllloes, irregularities
or private transactions iu the lives of
citizens which they would prefer to keep
concealed. Portland IS not yet large
enough TO be free from these pests. and
1t is not TO be expected. perhaps, that
Astoria should BE- free from them. Yet
the citizens of any town are responsible
for the existence OF such publications
among them. Astoria has one that is
particularly nolsome. Its editor is one
Of the most loathsome OF his class. RE
