WHEN CHARITY FAILS.

A sailor, stranger in the port, is
paid off here with the rather hand
some sum Of $500. He comes ashore
and spends the last dollar Of that
money in sheer and low dissipation,
and his last condition finds him in
pitiable. but perfectly natural, ex-
hausted and helpless slavery to a foul
and remorseless malady; an object Of
charity, a charge on the community,
that has not scintilla Of sympathy or
respect or condonation for him; but
the money and care and sustenance
must be forthcoming all the samel
II is hard to say which is the most
susceptible Of blame, the miserable,
besotted victim or the community
that has no rational precautions
against such extremities as this. Ex-
tremes meet in such cases as this, and
the sum Of credit is inhnitesmal when
the moral and ethical balances are
struck.

ROUNDABOUT NEWS.

There is nothing fair in forcing q
decent and reliable newspaper to "go
away from home to get news" for its
own columns; but it is, invariably, the
policy Of transportation companies
and large concerns, in a place like
this; il is poor policy and q deliberate
injustice 10 the local press.
The destruction Of 1000 feet Of new
Ilwaco Railroad extention is case in
point. But it does not remain with the
Astoria representatives Of that con-
cern to be the only offending people;
nearly every other concern of
any importance in the city follows the
fool rule and permits the mutual in
justice to repeat itself times without
number.
The home paper is entitled to
first consideration as the nearest and
most friendly exponent of the news,
but the company having the news takes
precedepce as the source Of that news
and is treated with consideration in
the detail. And that is the one es-
sential they are particular about.
They send the intelligence a hun-
dred or more miles away to headquar-
ters, and allow il to reach the press
there in garbied and indiscriminate
fashion, whereas the local paper, fami-
lar with the conditions, would give
far more reliable report Of If, and 90
times out Of hundred, in just the
shape the company at interest desires
It to be put out II is more than an
injustice, this policy; it is a business
mistake and a flagrsnt one.
