MAYOR WISE DISSENTS.

Mayor Herman Wise, in communi-
cation published in this issue OF the
Astorian, deprecates the attitude of this
paper on the subject of Portland's un.
friendly and obstructive tactics as
against this city He pleads for a un.
anmity of feeling, and reproaches the
Astorian for comprehending all the peo.
pie of the metropolis in its structures.
There the mayor is wrong, The As.
torian does nothing of the kind. In
dealing with matters OF this sort, the
general use of city's name does not
involve those who are innocent of the
specific acts of its agencies or repre-
sentatiyes; if they suffer from the al
legations made, it is only in a relative
sense, and the onus of the changes lies
only at the fountain-head of response.

this or any other, subject, the mere use
of the name signifies nothing, beyond

and control her policies. We blame
Portland for many things, which at
divers times, she has done to the dis
credit and disadvantage of this city and
we condemn her shortsightedness in
pursuing such an irrational course Of
action. Why should we lick the hand that
