It is too soon to discuss cabinet pos-
sibilities in the event of McKinlev's
.election, but there is one point upon
which all Republicans are agreed
No act of the next Republican exec-
: utive would meet with more popula
enthusiasm than - the naming ot
Thomas B. Reed i as secretary of
state. It is no reflection upon Reed
or no sign that he is unpopular
. . among the people that his vote at
: . r St, Louis was not a lamer one. The
- -drift had set towards McKinlevl and
fbtiman agency was powerless to pre-
-veot it. Circumstances had so
.ipoiiweci.to the Ohio man that all
-other candidates no matter .how
shigb .tiheir ability were superfluous,

held that high position, and he has
remonstrated that he is competent

of the nation would be vifforous and

With McKinley as president, and
. Heed as secretary of state the people
of the country might go about their
business confident that their interests
1 would be well cared fcr.
. , The message of - the mayor and
the reports of the other officials show
a healthy state of city finances 30 far as
the past year is concerned. The de
crease in the running expenses over
thevtwelve mouths previous , is near
ly fifty per cent, while the revenues
have been increased. . It is true that
no occasion has arisen for any great
expenditure of money, and the out
lay represents the ordinary expenses
of the city government Satisfactory
as the past year . has been, it is too
soon for congratulations upon our
condition. The words of ' Mayor
Menefee are timely when he says
"We should watch that our income
does not shrink by any lack of care
fulness on the part of our officers
and that our monthly expenditures
are not allowed to increase. It
would be very easy for expenses lb
creep on us again."
The several problems suggested in
tbe - mayor's message are important
ones. The questions of sewerage,
of street improvements, lighting, and
the adequacy of our fire department,
must be discussed and settled with
wisdom. The council may have
some difficulty in meeting the de
mands from some of these quarters
without increasing taxatiou, but we
believe it can be done: The people
are not in a numor to submit to
higher taxation, and whatever is
decided upon. , this consideration
It is a queer kind of a Republican j.
who will sacrifice the traditions of
his party to vote for a free silver,
free trade Democrats. Before worry
ing in what kind of money we will
receive ' our - wages, we had better
consider- the means of , obtaining
wages at all. - - With the enactment of
THE, CITY COUNCIL.

drances in the way of financial secur

should be kept in mind.
' Tom Platl has recently learned
that silence is as good as the gold
standard. A few months ago he de
clared that McKinley was a man un
fit to .fae r.ormnatcd for the presi
dency. Now be is trying to explain
that he meant something else. Piatt
needs to mnke his grip upon the ma
chine tigLter if he intends to have
the power of formei days. .

. From ths Examiner, Ban franctteo. Cat.
The prevalent maladies of diminution of
the vital powers, undue physical fatigue
and mental exhaustion, are to-day engaging
the careful attention of the most eminent
pathologists. Their prevalence is ascribed
to poisoning througfr alcoholic drinks,
opium tainted and adulterated foods, eon
taminated water, the yiatiated atmosphere of
towns, the continuous jar and rumble of rail'
road trains, the flashing of electric lights,
the clangor of street ears, the jingling of
telephone bells, the vertigo producing efleots
of lofty buildings and swift elevators, the
perpetual noises and shifting sights of city
streets, all the constant activities, the simp
lest of which involve an effort of the nervous
system and a wearing of tissue.

counteracting the wild reports which

"the delegations' actions received at

It needs but little play of the im

would follow an adoption of the
principles advocated by the Popu
lists' or those about to be promul
gated by the Chicago convention.
The ' destruction of the national
credit would involve disasfler to all
kind of private enterprise. The
complications entering into the
Oiegon election vlaat June where
by the vote between tbe Republican
and Populists were" very closv gave
our state some unenviable not&iiety
in the - East, a5 this comment, taken
from an Eastern journal will show:
A Democratic paper in Connecti
cut says tbe West is indebted to tbafc
state to the extent ot $100,000,000
and that Connecticut capitalists have
reached the conclusion not to lend
any more money in the same quarter
unless tbe words ''interest and prin
cipal payable in gold"; are printed in
the contract. The larch of Oregon
toward the Populist will mak in- j

The officers chosen at the late
election have assumed their duties
and the city has passed under a- new
regime. The cownctt of Jast year
made a very" creditable record, tow
ards reducing municipal expenses,
and the people desire a continuation
of the policy of retrenchment. The
Dalles lias an indebtedness far in ex
cess of what it .should be. The time has
come when the increase can no
longer go on,' but every year must
see a material decease. We do. not
advocate a gingerly administration,
but we believe that it were best to
be on the side of economy than of
extravagance. The council should
keep in mind that the people want to
see the . pruning shears applied at
every possible point. ' :

known as 'CoiV-for vice

Such a combination wbuld .be the
logical result of the oonvention's
views. Bland is one of the pioneers
of the . silver cause, and Harvey
achieved notoriety through the sale
of his '-Coin's Financial School."
Neither , is a . statesman in the most
ordinary use of the term, but both
represent the sentiment of the Dem
ocratic party. . " , ;'..... ' . ' '-.. ' . " '

A German author in a recently published
work calls attention to these murderous in
fluences that beset the end of the century
ana points out that the enormous increase in
nervous expenditure has not and can not
nave a corresponding increase of supply in
the food we eat. Even if we had the choicest
food in the greatest abundance it etmld do
nothing toward helping us, for we would be
' Incapable of dicestme it. Our stomachs can
L not keep pace with the brain and nervous
system. The latter demand much more than
- the former are able to furnish and as the
inevitable consequence then comes disaster.
The strongest may keep np but the weaker
fall by the way. Mankind has become fati-
- gaed and exhausted and this fatijirue and ex-
- baustion make themselves manifest in the
L ' increase of nervous disorders, including such
new affections as the " railway brain " and
"railway spine," the increase of heart dis
. . ease, the prevalence of precocious dental
decay and baldness, of nearsightedness and
deafness and premature old age. To coun
teract the incessant strain on the nerves and
to replenish the wear and tear on the brain
caused by every line we read or write, every
i see we see, every conversation we carry on,
very scene we perceive, every noise we
near, every impression we receive is pTe-.-
cisely the province of Dr. Williams' Pink
liis ror rale feople. Tney are designed
to fill the void in the nourishment of the
nerves and brain that no amount of choicest
food can fill. In a concentrated form is
infinitely richer food for the blood, and the
viuou is tue me ui to? nerves, man in vast
quantities of beef and bread.
It it generally agreed that a man's physi
cal condition is dependent, to a great degree,
. upon the nature of his employment. Men
whose occupation necessitates the constant
nse of the brain, without any apportunity
' for physical exercise, are generally nervous,
while men employed at manual 'labor re
quiring no exercise of the brain function,
are almost universally possessed of sound
nervous systems, not easily disturbed by ex
citing events. "
A striking illustration of this principle is
found in the case of Professor George E.
Coleman, who is a professional pianist, and
who was, until within recent years, a drng
gist Professor Coleman lives at 1330 Bu
chanan Street, San Francisco. He is well
known here as a pianist, ha vine; played at
some of the most popular musie halls in the
city. Mr. Coleman is not a man of strong
frame, and he has lieen an easy prey to the
severe, nervous tension of his work at the
piano. He has had to playcontinnously for
several hours uurifla every evening, tor five
years, and his nervous system final) v javy
way under the strain. He was 1rvni to re
tire from regular work at the piano, hut that
did not have the effect of iinrrtvrT liis -m-dition.

on his part to effect a cure.
