Tiik city flection was carried on per
sonal ami factional lines lather titan
political or liny particular policy, Al
thou li it whs tried hard to Inject the
(iiitttion of morality Into the rampaigu.
JmliiiH from the result, no stock whs
taken by the voters in the alarm raised !
oo these Hues by certain people (or the
(Hike of influencing votes. Some of our
best citiiena were oo each tide of the
contest. Voters bay been falsely
alarmed In tits past by some of the
people crying most loudly this time, but
it will not alw as work. We believe the
mayor elect will give us a good city
government and that the city council
will aid him in every way. Every one
concedes that Mayor Caufleld has given
us a good administration and has bee
untiring in bis efforts for the city.

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.

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

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.
