Two years ngo, when the Paris
ticaty was under consideration, the
Louisville Courier-Journal, leading
democratic newspaper of tbe south,
ex pressed alarm lest President Mo
Kinley should permit the Philippines
to slip from the grasp of the United
States. "There are srnne features in
the present situation," said the Cour-ier-Journul,"which
indicates willing
ness on the psrt of the president to
icsoi t to the tactics by which Polk
lost us no empire." This had refer
ence to the Oregon question, nnd
the democratic rallying cry of '-fifty-
four, forty or fight," the Courier
Journal fearing that the president
was preparing to drop the Philippines
nnd throw the responsibility on the
peace commission and the senate.
If the president had done that,
we should have heard a great outcry
from newspapers and politicians who
are now hot bent against "imperial
ism." It was an issue they wanted,
and they were as ready to take one
end of tbe poker as the other.
But what shall be thought of
journals and politicians who, lik-othe
Courier-Journal, stiffened up the
president's back-bone when they
thought be was planning to throw
tbe islands aside, but who now pro
test against the veiy policy they
had urge J?
If the fears of the Courier-Journal
had been well founded, and the
-president had permitted a European
power to slip off with the Philippines,
the democratic national convention
at Kansas City would have reiterated
this plank prom its platform of 1884;
"Tbe country has never had a
well-dclhied and executed foreign
policy save under democratic admin
istration. That policy has ever been
fn legard to foreign nations, so long
as they do not act detiimentaf to the J
Interests of tbe country or hurtful to
our citizens, to let them alone; that
09 a result of this policy we recall
tbe acquisition of Louisiana, Florida,
California nnd tbe adj-icent Mexican
territory by purchase alone, and con
trast these grand acquisitions of
democratic statesmanship with tbe
purchase of Alaska, the sole fruit of
a republican administration of nearly
a quarter of a ceuturj."
With the addition of something
like this:
"And we condemn the cowardly
policy of the McKinley administra
tion in permitting a European power
to seize the Philippine islands after
they bad been won oy the valor of
our navy and aimy, and in shameful
disregard of the wishes of the Filipino
people to come under the flag of the
United Stales." Spokesman-Review.
test of a serum for the cure of snake
bites has Just been made by a well
known New York physician. Evi
dently this doctor has no bead tor
business or he would not bav on
announced the success of his experi
ment at this particular time. To be
sure this Is the season of snake bites,
but any attempt to introduce a cure
PERTINENT PRESS COMMENT.
It I paradoiical, but true, that this
hot wave only serves to solidity tho ice
trust.
Bryan lias agtin promised to keep
quiet for a while, hot as he has not
taken chloroform, events may be ex
pected tojake their usual cjurae. Los
Angeles Times.
Chairman Jones says the emission of
that will supplant the old, original i the Income-tax p'ank from the demo
and universally popular remedy for
snake biles that every self-respecting
fisherman or camper-out carries with
him in a round black bottle will be
a dismal and lamentable failure.
Philadelphia Press.
The Bryan photographic bureau
has already furnished photographs of
the democratic candidate as a farm
er, without dust on his trousers or
hay in bis hair; as a grinning school
boy, wrapped in tbe folds f the
American fl:ig ; as a statesman over
shadowing Towne nnd covered by
the folds of Old Glory; as a candi
date, besido that former partner of
Cleveland, Adlai Stevenson; as a
student with an open book in front
of him, pretending to think, and in a
host of other ridiculous nnd non
sensical positions, to catch tbe voters.
Tbe Walla Walla Union advises that
Bryan now pose ns a Dutchman to
calch the German vote; ns a black
man with the proverbial chicken by
the neck in order to catch the negro
vote; as a sea pirate with terrible
frown nnd awful cutlass, in order to
catch tbe scuttlcr vote, and why not
as a Boxer to catch the Chinese vote?

Irrigation in Nebraska at a cost of $1
an acre, has spread prosperity all over
the state, no longer linked with condi
tions s j precarious as that of the sea
son's rainfall. Artificially watered, the
crops mature whether rains fall or not,
and can be calculated on with a reason
able measure of certainty. Prosperity
and abundance are formidable foes ol
Bryanism, which promise! to be routed
in its own stronghold and Its h it'll priest

Tbe administration seems to think
that Seattle, unless coddled, is likely
to go for Bryan, but that Portland
is all right anyway, acd will stand
anything. But there has been such
a" thing as the republican party, un
der cert-iin circumstances, being
beaten, even in Portland. Telegram.
That is to say, Portland may go
democratic unless it gels & larger
share of administration pic. All of
which goes to show how tru'y patri
otic and independant Portland's
evening paper can be od occasion.
Away down in Pine Bluff, Ark.,
is an old-fashioned democratic edi
tor, who is constrained to support
Bryan, but with mental reservations,
for he says he does so "in tbe hope
that Time, (he tomb-builder and
leveler of all things terrestrial, may
look with a kindly eys upon the
weakness acd the errors of the pusil
lanimous alleged leaders of tbe once
proud and rowerful democratic
party, and in tbe end rescue them
from the slough of populism and
despond into which they were
plunged by a meaningless metaphor
a borrowed figure of speech at
Chicago one blood-heating, brain
clouding, eventful July day four
years ago."
It is a good thing that tho demo
cratic party has no reputation to lose
for accuracy of statement, tacts
are stubbornly against them. Tbcy
are wrong on silver. They ere wrong
in predicting distress in Porto Rico,
They are wrong in predicting the
doom of the republic in the event of
McKinley's rfc-election, and they are
wrong by about a million nnd a half
votes in their forecasts as to tbe
election of their candidate in Novcm
ber.
The Seattle Times (Bryanite) pub
lishes a cartoon representing Candi
date Bryan, in coat of mail, standing
with one foot on the belly of a
"trust" dragon about four times as
long as himself, with a sword in his
right hand so long and unwieldy
that he could not use it to save his
soul. Bryan has a big cow horn
suspended from his waist, and his
left arm 6eems to be affectionately
folded in tbo coil of the dragon's
tail. The dragon seems to enjoy the
pressure of tbe Bryan toot nnd
smiles in his face as if to say, "Toot
your cow born, old boy; you're not
hurting me a bit."
It is not believed that Mr. Bryan
will make any special reference in
bis campaign speeches to the recent
wholesale killing of negroes in New
Orleans, nor to the wholesale dis
franchisement of negroes in several
of the states of tbe solid South. The
constitution and declaration of inde
pendence only operate, cx proprio
vigore, in republican states and in
territories when the democrats are
not in power.
Tbe mindless ruffians who, in
various parts of tho country, have
attacked Chinese laundries and as-
snulted Chinamen in testimony of
their disapproval of rioting in China,
are saved from being yellow instead
of w hite Boxers only by tbe accident
o birtb, says the Philadelphia Amer
ican. There should be do triflmg
with them. Policemen's clubs could
be put to no belter use than in rat
tling upon their empty beads.
The announcement is made, with
evident authority, that a successful
President McKinley describes re
publican imperialism as follows: "To
tbe party of Lincoln has come an
other supreme opportunity which it
has bravely met in tbe liberation of
10,000.000 of the human family from
the yoke of imperialism."
A farmer in Nebraska, says be
bought 2000 Cleveland sheep at
$2.25 a head and sold them as Mc
kinley sheep at 1.35, yielding a
profit of t4200. It isn't easy now
to fool an American woolgrowcr on
the paramount issue.
The Roseburg Platndealer thinks
that after running on tickets with
both Cleveland and Bryan, a claim
from Adlai Stevenson to be the
missing link would be entitled to
attention.
"Fewest Failures for Eighteen
Years" is the headline on Bi adsireets'
record for the first half of this year.
That non-partisan puper says: "Tbe
number of failures reported for the
first six months of tbe calendar year
1900 is the smallest period noted for
eighteen years past. Compared with
1898 tbe decrease is 2o per cent,
and even larger decreases are noted
with the first half of the year 1897
and 1896."
The regular monthly meeting of tbe
board ot water c .minissioners convened
in the recorder's office Tuesday evening
at 8 o'clock. All tbe Members were

After the reading of the minutes of
the previous meeting, T. J. Seufert was
unanimously re-elected president of the
board, a position Mr. Seufert has held
for the past three years.
The reports ol superintendent tod
treasurer were read and approved.
A warrant waa authorized to be is
sued in favor of L. H. Kretzer for the
sum ol 163 on account of work done on
arteaiau well. Mr. Kretzer reported
that the well was now down St9 feet.
At a depth of 112 feet water was struck
that rose withio seventy feet of the sur
face. At lower depths water was struck
several times and it now rises to within
105 lent of the surface.
J. B. Croseen was re-elected superin
tendent for the coining year.
The superintendent was instructed to
construct a new flume to replace the old
one at the receiving reservoir on the
Mesplie place. He reported that he had
arranged with The Dalles Lumbering
Company to take water out of their
flame instead of out of the creek beyond
during the ensuing month. A. A. Urqu
hart was hired to patrol the flume to
prevent water being taken from it by
private parties.

A Novel Envelope.
The Yakima Republic is authority
for the statement that the "people
who 'want a change' should vote for
Bryan this fall. If their man is
elected they'll be kicking for four
years because . they haven't any
change."
The Seattle Post-Inielligencer de
clares "the paramount issue with the
laboring man is that of getting steady
work, and tho probabilities are that
be will vote for an administration
that has given it to him."
Mr. W. G. Woodwo-th, of this city,
left at this office a big brown en
velope, 12x5 i'lehes in size, that is a
rare curiosity. Two thirds of the space
on the front of the envelope, on top and
side, is covered with pen sketches of
every conceivable travesty of the human
face divine. But excellent as these
sketches are, it is on the address that
the attention center?, for the envelope
came through tin' mails in the regular
nay, all the way from Minneapolis, en
closing a big genuine letter to tho send
er's daughter, the niece of Mrs. Wood
worth, who has been here for some time
on a visit. The address is as follows:
To the man that rea'ls tho postal cards and
NhulllrB up the mail
At The I)nlle, wmv out In Oregon. I want you,

If it is imperialism to protect tbe
holdings of this county against re
volt, then Lincoln was an imperial
ist, says the Walla Walla Union.
New York republicans say they
ill be satisfied with nothing less
than 300,000 majority against Bryan
this fa'.l, and tbey feel confident of
securing it.
Texas woolgrowcrs arc trying to
do a little trust business by holding
2,000,000 pounds of wool to force a

"Oh for a lodge in some vsst

Cold Steel or Death,
"There is but one small chance to
save yonr life and that is through an
operation," was the awful prospect set
before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Kidge,
Wis., by her doctor after vaiuly trying
to cure her of a frightful case of stomach
trouble and yellow jaundice. He didn't
count on the marvellous power of Elec
tric Bitters to cure stomach and liver
troubles, but she heard of it, took seven
bottles, was wholly cured, avoided sur-
seon,s knife, now weighs more and feels
better than ever. It is positively guar
anteed to cure stomach, liver, and kid
ney troubles and never dissapointa.

neighbor was suffering form cholera in
fantum. Tbe doctors had given up all
hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar

cording to directions. In two days time
the child had fully recovered. The child
is now vigorous and healthy. I have re

Of the product of this well-known brewery the United States Health
Reports for June 28, 1900, says: "A more supeiior brew never entered
the labratory of the United States Health reports. It is absolutely devoid
of the slightest trace of adulteration, but on the other hand is composed of
the beet of malt and choicest of hops. Its tonic qualities are of the high
est and it can be used with the greatest benefit and satisfaction by old and
young. Its use can conscientiously be prescribed by the physicians with
the cersainty that a better, purer or more wholesome bevernge could not
possibly he found."
