The discussion upon the streets rela-
tive TO the establishment Of ferry or
bridge across Young's river. to connect
with the new Lewis and Clarke and
CIatsop Plains roads. is assuming tan
gible shape. From the remarks heard
in various business houses yesterday,
there seems to be & growing sentiment
that the city Of Astoria should in some
practical manner join hands with the
county court in securing the desired
bridge or ferry, the establishment OF
which is fraught with such great i'm
pOrtance both TO the city and the farm
ers. A number Of plans have been
suggested. some Of which are certainly
practicable. and it is to be hoped that
this good movement will not be
dropped until final success is attained.

Independence of Cuba.

From the hour Of achieving their own
Independence the people OF the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles Of other American peoples
to free themselves from European DOM
ination. We watch with deep and abId-
Ing Interest the heroic battle OF the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston, and our best hopes go out for
the full SUCCESS Of their determined con-
test for liberty.

control OF Cuba and being unable 10

With the publication Of Mr.. Fulton's

least, one Of the most remarkable and
We believe memorable public discus
sions ever conducted through the col
umns Of a newspaper. There is scarce
ly a citizen Of good standing OF re-
spectability in the community VINO
has not sought an opportunity 70 be
heard in denunciation Of the false and
malicious reports circulated about Mr.
Hammond and to testify 10 the good
faith Of the effort he is putting forth
for the development Of Astoria. 1t has
been found utterly impractlcable to
print more than a very small percent
age Of the communications sent in or
verbally delivered for publication to
the paper on the topic Of Mayor Tay-
lors letter, but enough has appeared
to show the unanimity Of opinion and
determination among all classes Of peo-
pie that the time has come in AstOria's
history when the disreputable methods
of a certain school Of so-called jour
nalism with which the city is infested
shall no longer be tolerated. Whether
it is due 10 the peculiar isolation and
backward condition Of this section Of
Oregon. or to some other cause more
difficult Of comprehension, it is certain
ly to be questioned if any other COM
munity of intelligent and law-abiding
people in America would have tamely
submitted as have the people Of Asto-
ria TO the system Of blackmail prac-
ticed by these papers for years, to ex-
tort an unwilling support from busi-
ness institutions and accidental strang-
ers who happen to locate in the city.
There can be no doubt whatever re-
specting the motives which induced
these attacks upon Hammond. The men
who run these papers know quite as
Eeu as anyone else what Hammond

bespeak for this enterprise a liberal
patronage and a growing appreciation
