There is foine agitation conern ing the ? nlargi ment of the city's !;uits by taking in Canemah and the West Side. It is claimed by some that Canemah should be taken in as the conditions are such that the health of the whole town is endangered through lack of sewerage and drainage and as an evidence of this they point to the fact that diptheria is almost epidemic in the town. It is also claimed that a great deal of refuse matter gets into the water at the head of the bain, and naturally conies down to the intake pipe of the city's waterworks; thereby fouling the water of Oregon City. For thes reaeons it Is urged that Canemah should le taken in and these nutters remedied. If these conditions- exist steps should be taken to remedy them, as cost ehould not be considered where health in endaneered. Many of the good citizens of Canemah deny that the health conditions of their town are bad. In case of the West Side it is chiefly revenue that urges annexation, but with the West Side or Canemah in the city's limits they would require, and be entitled to the expenditure of con siderable money in the making of improvements to the streets and furnishing light and water. We have not heaid that any consider portion of the citizens of either place desired to be annexed to the city. People that live outside the city limits should not be taken in againBt their will unless there are strong reasons for it. These may exti6t in the case of Canemah but we do not think so in case of the West Side. The state board of land com missioners havo leased the land purchased for the branch asylum site, to Turner Oliver. By the tonus, Oliver gets the use of the land one year by paying WiO therefor and keeping the fence in repair. "At peace with all the world and with each other, what can stand in the pathway of our progress and prosperity?" asks the presi dent. The century is ending with bright prospects for the American people and their form of govern ment. CoKYALLis will nsk the legisla ture to allow her to elect otlicers, except mayor, every year, instead of every other year, to reduce the number of polling places to one, and that the council shall elect the chief of police, night watch and city attorney.

The manner in which our na tional wealth is Wing increased as tho result of an economic policy which stimulates the use of domes tic products while at the same time enabling the producers of the United States to reach out after foreign markets is set forth in the figures furnished by the Treasury Department Bureau of Statistics. From these figures it is certain that the calendar year 1S9S will be a record breaking year in the mat ter of export trade. Only twice in our history have the exports in a calendar year passed the billion dollar line; in 1S93 they will be a billion and a quarter. During the eleven months of ,1S9S ending with November they are greater than in any full calendar year preceding, the total for the eleven months being ll,ll7,6Sl,llt9, and it is ap parent that the December state ment will bring the grand total for the year above 1 1.3.30,000,000. The November exports were 1129,- 83,512, the largest in any month in the history of our commerce, Of breadstuff the exports for the eleven months ending witn November, 1898, aie the largest in our history, being $277,133,341, The Nicaragua canal would shorten the journey of a war-ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific forty-six days Times are good in Eagle valley Eastern Oregon, one cause being the large number of sheep and cattle being fed there thia winter Hauling hay to the stock affords employment to about 50 teams The Salem Statesman is dis pleased with the appointment by Gov. Geer of Walter Lyon, of Salem, as his private secretary. The fact that Mr. Lyon has for years been the Salem correspond dent to the Oregonian may account for its displeasure. against 1223,211,617 in the great exporting year of 1892; provisions are for the eleven months $148,417, 850, against $125,297,007 in the eleven months of 1892. Cotton for the eleven months amounts to $192,323,391, a figure slightly be low that of 1846, though the total number of pounds exported by far exceeds that of the corresponding months in any preceding year, being for the eleven months 3,436, 032,704, or, measured in bales, 6.722,282, a larger total in bales or pounds than that of any full calen dar year preceding. Equally gratifying is that por tion of the showing which relates to the largely diminished purchase of articles of foreign production and the corresponding increased consumption of domestic products. It is herein that that the American policy, becomes effective in piling up national wealth to figures 'so vast as to startle the financiers of Europe, who are growing more and more solicitous as to the enormous credit balances which are being accumulated by this country what tin awka.

Hut the national convention meet in a year and a half and it is time to look around for keynote and a campaign ban!. Since Mr. Aryan rosined from the army and began to circulate In Welling ton and New York there ha been a Democratic UourUh on the auhjKctof trusts. The people know, however, that there it a broad margin between what Democratic platform proiulm and what ther accomplish. For the two year following March 4. 1S'.3, the Democrat hod control of all department of the government. On the subject of trust the national Democratic platform of 11- , said : "Ye believe their womt evil can be abated by law, and we demand the rigid enforcement of the law made to prevent and control them, together with euch further legislation in restraint of their abuses as experience my ahow to be necessary." The Democrat bad full wing for two year something they can not regain for at least the next ix years and failed to make the slightest impression on the trust. They must excuse skepticism concerning new pledge. Their opportunity wa neg lected in 1W3 and 1S1M, and their trust piecrust for 1900 will naturally be ub ject to a discount. Everything indicate that the Demo crat will get hold of the wrong end of expansion. I.ong before the convention meet the Philippine policy will be de veloped and working smoothly. Quite a number c Democrat are fighting what they call imperialism. It is a creation of their own fancy. Tl.e United Statee ban acquired no new territory by wanton aoixure or diplomatic trickery. Hawaii, whoee toil geographically belong to thia continent, ha become our by mutual consent. Territory ceded by Spain i the froit of war waged for motive en tirely different from land hunger or a paseion for imperial grandeur. This nation ia great in its simplicity and big enough withtut robbing the weak and inoffensive. American are no more die posed to do thia than they ever were. Anti-imperialism will not serve the Democratic emergency and the arty will oppose legitimate expansion at it peril. Pity the sorrow of the Demo cratic platform writer. They are out of material and wandering in a thicket of uncertainties." A Trraa U.'IUI uf rem l ily's I'res riil Nrlltt I'rmperla ami a rw Im iurlHiil Kei'iMiiiiii'liilalluii.

It is not a progressive nartv. It waits to see what its chief apponent declares for and then resolutes againt it. It tries to ride into power by procuring the vote of all elements apposed to the party ol progression. It is a negative; not a positive party. It swallowed a large proportion of the greenback party only to betray every promise of reform made to them in its national platform. It now hopes to bring to its rescue the scattered hosts of the People's party, only to betray every essen tial reform ever advocated by that party. The following from the Globe Democrat is an able forecast of the The mystery of life and death baa p lu lled many a wist man. The alchemist o f old searched in vain for some combination of drnt thai would prolong life indefinite ly. Common sense, chemis try and medical science have combined in this ace to show man the way to a long and healthy life. Common sense teaches that a man should not over-work or over-worry ; that he should take ample time for his meals, for reslinr and for recreation and sleep; that he should not neglect the little ills of life, because tbrv are the precursors of serious and fatal maladies. Cnemistry baa enabled men to make combinations of drugs that were im- ibl in the days of the alchemist. edical science has taught when, bow and wby these combinations of drugs should be used. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covers ia the most valuable of all health- restoring medicines, and the most effective. It first work is upon the fountain bead of life the stomach. A man who has a weak and impaired stomach and who does not properly digest his food will soon find that bis blood ha become weak and impover ished, and that his whole body is improp erly and insufficiently nourished. Tbis medicine makes the stomach strong, facil itates the flow of digeative juices, restores the lost appetite, makes assimilation per fect, invigorates the liver and purifies and enriches the blood. It is the great blood maker, flesh-builder and nerve tonic. It makes men strong in body, active in mind and cool in judgment It does not make flabby fat, but solid, muscular flesh, nerve force and vital en ergy. All medicine dealers sell it J. W. Jordan, Kq., of Corbin, Whitley Co., Ky . write: " About iro and a half years ago I was taken with mere pains in tht client, tw sin to rit no blood, wa, troubled with niuht- nweiits snl was so short winded that I could hardly walk '.ialf a mile.

Tbe medicine dealer who urges some substitute is thinking of the larger profit he'll make and not of your best good. of the road. The iron interests are prospering, and they are the best known barometer of trade. the coming contest. "An anxious search for principles ex plains Mr. Bryan' present activity.
