PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.
There can be no question on this side
of the ocean as to the Impression that
Jlr. Joseph Chamberlain's "campaign
of education" against the British free
trade policy baa already made on the
masses over there. They are beginning
to think, to reason and that is half the
battle when the traditional conservat
ism, the prejudices and the stubborn
ness of the average Britton are consid
ered. That is all that the former secre
taries for the colonies bad hoped for, an
earlier result than he expected. It Is
significant of the steady progress of
his political crusade that on Tuesday of
last week, at Liverpool, over Ave thous
and workingmen applauded him to the
echo and passed stirring resolutions In
indorsement of his protective proposals,
although the British Tradesmen's Con
gress at a recent session had vigorously
condemned the entire Chamberlain pro
gramme. Hundreds of earnest men had
stood in line outside of the hall for five
heirs in a drenching rain storm In or
der to be sure of places inside, and nun
. flreds more stood outside during the en
tire meeting hoping to gain admittance
some time before its close, is the way
the New Tork Commercial sums up the
situation.
I appeal against the unions and tor
you,"declared Mr.Chamberlain,"against
the officials to the men who appointed
them and thus gave them votes In the
congress. It 1s absolutely Impossible
to reconcile free trade and trade union
ism. You can have one or the other,
but you can not have both. That con
gress made cheapness its god. But to
buy in the cheapest market is not to the
best interests of the workingmen. The
producer is of greater importance than
the consumer , Of what use is it to pro
hibit 'sweating" in Great Britain if
sweatsd goods from foreign countries
are admitted? If the cheapest goods are
bought that is, those produced where
labor Is cheaper than it is in Great
Britain why not import cheap labor
ilselfr
Tbe Commercial then concludes that
this doctrine of fostering and protect
ing the home market, of keeping the
home population always at work on
good wages, of ignoring the cheapness
of foreign goods if only we can keep
our, own factories running and the op'?r
atives' dinner-pails full Is not a new
one here in the states. It has been rank
Industrial and political heresy to
preach it in the United Kingdom. But

county his home, and he has made no
home anywhere else. Both the fact
and the intention being in favor of
this, these certainly establish the place
of residence, says the Salem Statesman.
Mr. Davey well represented his con
stituents at the last session of the leg
islature and The Astorian is pleased
that he has not changed his residence
and will hold a seat in the lower bouse
in the event that a special session la
called.
Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
would run for president if the honor
were thrust upon him. It appears to
most people that vhe mayor's Job is
about his calibre.
The tax muddle is not of sufficient
importance to call for a special ses.
sion of the legislature. Most counties
are in a fair financial condition and all
have good credit.
The governor of Oregon is pretty
nearly right when he hesitates about
calling a special session of the legisla
ture.

EDUCATE YOURSELF AT HOME
The Opportunity to Io So Is In
UcftchofAH.
Toung men and women who are am
bitious to rise and unable to attend col
lege or a technical school ehould Inves
tigate the advantages offered by the
International Correspondence schools
of Scranton, Pennsylvania. These
schools which were organised in 1S91
now have over S0O.O0O students; and
during the brief period of twelve
.wars have helped thousands of people
to better paying positions. Their cur
riculum embraces one, hundred and sixty-five
different courses of study, an
immense variety to select from, and all
of them are of the practical salary
raising clss of1 Instruction. The schools
do not aim to deal .with the sort
of education which merely adorns.
They say to a young man: where does
your greatest practical aptitude He?
Tell us what you crave and If you are
willing to study we can gratify your
ambition.
They have unlimited endorsements
from all classes of successful men and
from prominent ofllclals of the U.
Government. The Secretary of the
Navy, the labor commissioner, military
Instructors at West Point and members
of congress have endorsed and warmly
praised their system of education. To
come nearer home they have 225 stud
ents in Astoria. See some of those and
get their opinions on the subject. Then
write to the schools for some literature.

EX-PUGILIST FOUND DEAD.
New York. Nov. 4. Thorn Cleary,
said to have been at one time middle'
weight champion of the west, has been
found dead from the effects of gas, '.n
a hotel here. A tube connected with a
small heater had become loosened and
his death evidently was accidental.
Cleary, who vas 35 years old, had retir
ed from the ring to become proprietor
of a hotel at Newburg, N. T. He was
here on a visit -.vhen he met his death.

Mourners Tlirowu Into Panic by
Supposed Ghost.
CONFESSIONS OF A PFJEST.
New Tork, Nov. 4. While a wake
was in progress during the night in a
West Fifty-fifth street boarding bouse
over the supposed remains of John Sie
bert, who was believed to have been
drowned, the mourners were thrown in
to a panic by the sudden entrance of
what they took to be the ghost of their
the leaven of protection is working over friend- Some f tne womn fainted Bn
there Just as sure as the Briton has
sound common sense and is thoroughly
practical at the bottom.
The summary of the election results
of yesterday are not at all surprising,
though straw votes and predictions of
a week ago were shattered in some
cases. For Instance, the Herald pre.
dieted the re-election of Low, when in
fact he was beaten by McClellan by a
plurality of 01,414 votes. Instead of
Franklin K. Lane leading in the grand
finale, Schmitz was re-elected mayor
of San Francisco, with Crocker a very
close second.
Kentucky and Maryland are both
democratic and Rhode island also re
elects a democratic governor. Ohio and
Pennsylvania were known to be safely
republican before the votes were cast.
The expected has happened all along
the line. Had it not been for the sharp
contest In New York and San Francisco
the public would hardly have been
aroused to more than ordinary Interest;

there was the" wildest excitement until
I the supposed apparation convinced the
I mourners that he was Sefbert In the
flesh. A call was then sent to the
morgue for the removal of the body
and the wake became a revel. The
corpse had a striking resemblance to
Siebert.
Rev. John S. Cox. of Wake, Ark.,
writes: "For 12 years I suffered from
yellow Jaundice. I consulted & number
of physicians and tried all sorts of med
lcines, but got no relief. Then I began
the use of Electric Bitters and feel that
I am now cured of a disease that had
me In its grasp for 12 years." If you
want a reliable medicine for liver and
kidney trouble, stomach disorder or
general debility, get Electric Bitters.
