Tin Old World looks with suspicion and disfavor on America's entrance in to the commercial and political affairs of the far East especially, and in general against her territorial expansion. The Old World is alarmed. She sees a new element in politics that mast be met. It has been a severe strain on all the powers to keep the friction down and a new element acts as an irritant. America is itit en no credit for a disin terested motive and she is looked upon as a hypocrite engaging in a war under the mask of humanity for the purpose of conquest. She is regarded as out do ing England in land grabbing. 6be is pointed to as departing from ber time honored policy and tbat she never was sincere even when she qorameuced the war, that she has followed ber ancestor in pbariBaiem, tbat she has embarked on a career of conquest and must here after be reckoned with. She is looked npon as young active and ambitious. As long as site confined her operations to America she was not seriously molested but when she takes the Philip pines and stands at the threshold of China, the prize tbat Europe is ready to go to war oer, she is credited with designers on that richest of possessions. Never again will she be given credit that ber protestations are sincere when she Bays she doea not want to get en tangled in European alliances or poli tics. She has been looked on in the past as having one object as a nation, the development of our country. In the future she will be distrusted as having designs on the uttermost corners of the earth. a necessity to have more regulurs and probably will continue to be, as in the future especially will this be true on account of our new territory. Tin friendly feeling of Great Brilian for America must not be taken too dis interestedly as that country wants the United States to control the Philippines because that will give English commerce more privileges and concessions than it would get from any other nation, Eng land expects pay of this kind for her moral support during the war and peace negotiations with Spain and the United States should and will give ber cousin due consideration in this respect. It the members of congress have the Bttmina they should have, and make law in accordance with the recommenda tions of the secretary of the treasury on the question of the currency tbey would have the thanks of the entire business community of this country. As to the calamity bowlers who do not and never will have the first conception of the money question, they should have no consideratien whatever. Tub Hawaiian Islands will probably be governed as a territory, that is the scheme ol the commission and they have reported a bill on those lines. This is proper. It is better to wait than to es tablish these colonies as a part of ibis nation now, giving them a voice in our affairs. We have bad a little experience in hasty legislation on these lines with the negro. West, of Mo. has probably yoiced the opposition when be introduced a resolu tion in the senate declaring it unconsti tutional for the government to perma nently acqurie territory as colonies. The president will be opposed in his colony scheme by an anti-expansion cry on the pait of the democrats. It is too bad I The city has gone to the dogs and all of the moral teachings aud precepts of the Press are lost, but its editor should not be discouraged, as a paper that bas such lofty ideals and whose motive! are so unsullied, is bound to reform the city in time. The president's message is long, deal ing historically with the Spanish war and becomes valuable in this respect. Probably because tbe treaty of ppace has not been concluded, tbe president does not disclose his intentions on many mat ters involved in tbe war. Notably tbe government and disposition of Cuba and the Phillippines. The construction and control of the Xicaraguan canal is u ged. Congress is urged to make suitable pro vision for the Paris exposition as this may mean much to our trade and manu factures. Tbe report of the commis-dou appointed to recommend legislation for Hawaii is laid before Congress. Cur rency reform legislation is earnestly re commended, the president repeating from bis message of one year ago recom mendations made at that time on this subject. The president is in favor of in creasing the regular army to 100,000 and tbe mustering out ot the volunteers as soon os congress provides for tbe in crease of the regular army. Mb. Kokrner. the defeated candidate for mayor is a man ugainst whose charac ter, ability or integrity the Enterprise has never heard a word raised. The vote be received is not an index of the esteem in which he is held by bis fellow citizens. If the Press could bave got well Litourette did not see it tbat way, and we bave been having sermons on the purity of the press, no politics, and tbe general cussednees of attorneys. It now looks as if the volunteers at Manila would be replaced by regulars. Tuis will bring tbe boys home about April or May and bring joy to many a heart in Oregon as well as Manila.

It means that fibysical at ractiveneaa that comes from perfect bodily condi tion and the bright, happy cheerfulness of disposition which only complete health can insure. A woman with a bright eve. clear com plexion, mantling color in tbe cheeks and buoyant elastic step and manner has a natural attractiveness that no artifial agency can counterfeit. A woman who is afflicted with the morti fying misfortune of a dull, aallow, pimply complexion or that listless movement and attitude which provokes only difgust and revulsion in tbe opposite sex, ought to avail herself of the purifying, invigorating power of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dicoverr, which makes a strong, healthy stomach and digestive organism ; purifies tbe blood and imparts a natural stimulus to the ex cretory functions ; insures healthy Weight, clear skin, bright eyes and tbe animated manner and bearing of perfect health. A lady living in Wt Virginia, Miss Anna Callow, of Kyger, Roane Co.. writes: "It la with pleasure I write you after using a few buttles of Dr. Pierce's Fsvorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and I think them valuable medicines for female troubles and weakneaaei.

I had a bad cough and my lungs hurt me all the time. I got very thin, my complexion was bad, and my eves would get so heavy in the evening tbey seemed stiff in the lids. I could hardly move them. Many peraons were alarmed about me. I looked so bad and had such s cough ; they were afraid I would go into consumption. I felt so badly every day that I bad no life about me. I uaed only five bottles in all. I shall ever speak in praise of your grand medicines, They are blessings to suffering females." Another good tiling to have in the bouse is a vial of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They cure biliousness and constipation and never gripe. 1 The Beginning 4 3;w 3f of Christmas 8 UR Christmas Stock in ready for your inHprction.
