The New Tork Tribune, one of the great news paper of the day. states plainly our country's position- 11 Bay 01811 the paramount responsibility of the United " States In Panama is for the peaceful and uninterrupted use of the railway by the commerce of the world. That Is a responsibility which, as Secretary Hay phrased H, "runs with "' the land." We have held that respon sibility, with the consent of all parties In Interest, ever since the railroad was built and opened by our citiiena. We held It when New-Cranada claimed the sovereignty ' of the Isthmus, when Colombia had it, when the State of Panama seceded, when It returned to the Colombian confederation. We hold It now, when the State of Panama again seceded. There Is not the least mystery or doubt about this latest secession. The people of Panama, long discontented, gave repeated warnings of their In tention to cut loose again from the Bo gota government If it jeopardized their interest in the canal. The .Bogota government thre wthat Interest away in a crazy effort to "hold up" and blackmail at the French company and the United States. Then the people of Panama simply rose, asserted their inr dependence and threw the Colombian army Into jail.; , That waaall there was of it. There does not seem to have been a single cltiaen of all the isthmus, so far as yet heard from, op posed to the secession lnaugrated at Panama. But the United States had to do business with somebody in the Isthmus, had to deal "with some authority. So It did what every civil ised nation in the world does, under such circumstances, recognized the de lacio guvtrniinciit.. So far there is no dispute; and there is no critic,, friend or foe, whosefop- iaion Is worth a rush, that will ques tion the absolute correctness of our attitude. But now come the men who always seek to find their own govern ment in the wrong, protesting that at least we have no right to Interfere with Colombia's belated efforts . to , recon quer the Isthmus. . Let us see. If our relation to the 'territory were that of any other nation we might perhaps stand still and watch the disorder, pro nunciamentos and counter pronuncla enentos, spasmodic fighting, long range riot and general paralysis of business that mark the usual Spanish-American elvll war. But we alone have an ob ligation to perform to keep the rail road open to. peaceful transit. We' are not at fault that Colombia has lost her sovereignty; and we cannot abandon mir duty in order to let her interrupt peaceful transit .and fight all over the route In trying to regain the sovereignty she recklessly Imperilled and yet fail ed to pretext. The time for Colombia to protect her sovereignty in a region where we were bound to keep the peace was when she had it. But at that time, on the con trary, she merely goaded the isthmus hlto revolt, without taking a single precaution against the inevitable out break. When it came, the Insurgents merely ' marched her "army," "gene rals" and all, to the calaboose, and so an end. Now the United States simply says; You shall not send in troops here ftt a peaceful community to precipitate ctlHorder in all effort to reconquer what you did not protect rvhen you had It. Settle your dispute somewhere else. Tou . shall not fight It out over this railroad, where we have guaranteed peaceful transit. Tou shall not even tome anywhere near it with troops for that purpose." Is there a civilized government in the world that, under The Southern Pacific has again raised the rate for lumber shipments from Portland and East Portland to Cali fornia points to a prohibitive figure, says the Pacific Trade Journal. The tariff has been advm-d to 17.50 per ton and affects mills at Portland, East Portland, Astoria and Intermediate points shipping through Portland. The Southern Pacific freely admits that the new tariff is meant to be prohibitive. and that it Is Intended to relieve the car shortage on their Oregon lines. The interior mills have but one method of transportation, while those on the river and at Astoria have the alternative of water shipments. The valley mills must feel duly grateful to the Southern Pacific for the fostering of their lndut rles In allowing them to live and do business. But this action is not with ont precedent. It has the ear marks of the oM days of the Collls P. regime, California was dictated with csarlsh devilishness by old C P. Huntington and the freight Charges were "all the tariff would bear." Since the Harrlman administration of affairs, there has been no relaxation of the death grip. although the latest raise In the Port land rate Is a strong reminder that the tricks of the trade have not ben for gotten. The Quality Smoke Press dispatches indicate that Glf ford Plnchot, chief forester, will be given full sway, If the wishes of the president are gratified, says the West Coast Lumberman. It Is the Intention to place Mr. Pinchot in charge of the bureau of forestry, giving him author ity to handle the vexed problems of forestry. The chaotic condition which has been prevailing for sometime has come to the ears of the president and It Is hoped that something like order will be wrought out by a different system of management. The promise of Charles Becker, the most infamous and the most clever of forgers, that he Intends to earn an hon est living seems likely of realization, says the San Francisco Call. He in tends to demand the thousand dollars reward offered by a corporation to any person who could alter the figures made by a patent check perforating machine. Becker did the trick and paid several years of Imprisonment In penalty. His nerve appears now to be equal to his craft. Investigation has demonstrated that the responsibility for the Wyoming Indian outrages rests upon the white officials, whose Indiscretions, injustices and tyranny drove the red men in des peration to revolt, says an exchange. This Information is interesting simply because U is unusual. It is one of those isolated cases where the truth Is told in reference to the" treatment of Indians by Americans. The small boys are going to lose a hero when Col. William F. Cody, other wise knoivn as "Buffalo BUI," disbands his Wild West Show and retires from business, says the Seattle Times. Col. Cody announces that he is going to quit, but Patti did the same thing twenty years ago and look at her prfces now. f0 A Popular Price 5c J Sold Everywhere !

Skyles, who returned yesterday noon from a trip through the Willam ette valley, reports that there Is no established price on hops and prunes in that region and that both are being withheld from the open market until things are settled sufficiently to allow the growers to realize something on their labors. The prevailing conditions are not occasioned by the market being glutted, especially with regard to hops, but are due to the manipulations of those who control the output, Howmuch we owe to the sympathe tic side of womankind; when others suffer they cheerfully lend a helping hand. They tell you the meanswhlch brought relief to them that you may profit by their experience. Read the testimony given here by an Astoria woman. Mrs. Close, wife of John Close, night engineer at Llndenberger"s Cold Stor age House, foot of Efehth street, re siding at 30 Commercial street, says: 'About a year ago we moved here from Portland and as I had a great deal to look after I overdid myself and the re sult was I brought on kidney trouble, back began to iche and as time rolled My back began to ache and as time roll ed by It kept getting worse instead of better. It finally grew so bad that I could scarcely stoop or straighten aft ter stooping.

I was Just about to start to the store for a plaster to put on my back when I read about Doan's. Kidney Pills and they were so highly recommended for kidney trouble I made up my mind' to try them and pro cured a box at Charles Rogeds' drug store on Commercial street. They went right to the root of the disease and helped me from the start and be fore I had finished the box I was cured.

Mr. Thomas is a poet of no lit' tie ability and had his environments been different would doubtless have won for himself a name in the world of letters. As it is, he has written poems of a high order, and often delights his friends reciting them, which he does lna manner entirely original and very entertaining. His writings have never been issued in book form, but if they ever are, will likely suit the popular taste. Mr. Thomas is now past 80 years of age and has lived for 50 years In Clatsop county. In the early days he served In the Indian wars, and was recently granted a pension for his service on the frontier. NOTICE.

Most people have an idea that rheumatism Is contracted like a cold, that the slainp, chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the terrible aches aiul pins, or that it is something like a skin disease to be rubbed sway with lini ment or drawn out with plasters; but Rhuematism originates in the blood and is caused by Urea, or Uric Acid, an irritating, corroding poison that settles in mus cles, joints and nerves, producing inflammation and soreness and tbe sharp, cutting paius peculiar to this distressing disease.

The price of butter has advanced two cents and eggs and other farm produce have like wise tak?n a Jump ahead. Local creatnerymen state that the weather for the past few weeks and the cold snap at present prevailing make conditions worse than have existed for years In this county and there is no indication of an immediate amelioration. Strictly fresh butter Is a scarce article on the market and sells at 70 cents per roll, so it is. easily to be seen that if the price continues to go up or remains as it Is at present for a length of time, the article will soon become to be con sidered a luxury and its use will be sparingly Indulged In.
