There are conditions that warrant the organization of what r called "Citi tenV Movements" and justify the de parture from accepted organic political status, but the rule of such movements has always been that t:iey bcoome the vehicle for worse public conditions than they were originally int'.-n.iel to correct This is the infallible outxme of ex traneous political association, and the one that is prevalent in :hU city now, is no exception to the universal rule. The primary cauxes that called it into being are removed, and tlie organiza tion, (if any such orpinirjUion really exists) is divested of it? initial impor tance, and is become a men; b.ie'? fot the activities of the minority parties that figure here, the lurge-t of which, numerically speaking, is the Bcrpocrjtic j arty. Now the Democrats are no pr-or politicians; they are masters of ihicnn y and the successful use of que-i'.ion Able expedients, and that the; mould force themselves to the hfl nnd front of a local movement of the rt under discussion, need not be wondered at nor doubted. They are dimply using the "Citizens" cloak for the purpo-e of a humbugging parade, and it U fa-t be coming appurent to the pmiple whoe garment haw Ix-cn xtolen. If it were not so, there would ! more hotieitty and candor and pluin speaking from that fide of the present city campaign. As it is, there ha not Ix-en one word of straight-forward purue given out from that side; nor lias a liable Wn uttered that the followers of the Demo crats may lay claim to a an argument against the plain, candid and widely Voiced program of the Republican. The Democrat have put out an alleged "platform" that was dictated by the local bo Democrat and it was swal lowed at a gulp at the "Non -Partisan" meeting on the night of November 15th, ly those for whom it was intended. It waa a tissue of platitudes a jingle of catchy phrase, a medley of stilted argument, that was, and is, intended to glosa over the actual and radical purjHx of the Democrats and their henchmen, namely, to open tip the City of Astoria in the sen that it was "wide open last winter. The Demo crats, as such, being out of power, are compelled to e all the makeshifts that present themselves, and they are the lads to do it They intend to ride into County dominance on the backs of the hood-winked "Citiwns' with whippers-in on the side, rallied from the local slums. Once the city is theirs, the tak of winning the County is dim inished to a point of feasibility and probability, and they know it, and are working skillfully to that end. The decent manhood of Astoria cannot plead ignorance of this scheme: It is too manifest for that. The responsibility for defeating the naty program rests with the home luver, the man of fam ily with children coming on to man and woman-hood, the business utau who pre fers a clean and respectable trade, the man with pride in his city and its fu ture, the man to whom decency is on a par with tlie dollar, the limn who does not want to blush for his town Ixvause he finds it a by-word of disgrace throgh- out the coast States. Tht Citizejns' movement of Astoria has passed the point of real utility, and ha become the eatspaw of the shrewd politician com monly kuown as the Democrat. IU primal efficacy has vanished; it is serv ing as a masque; happily its thread bare material is so flimsy the whole community can we through the meshes, save those so blind thev will not see. 0 ANOTHER STATE. It looks as if there might le one new star added to the flag during the com ing session of Congress, but no more. The prospects of Oklahoma for admis-1 sion to statehood seem bright, but Ari zona and New Mexico, either jointly or separately, appear to have very little chance, or none at all, of behig admit ted. Congressman Tawney, of Minne sota, who recently visited the territories, at the head of a Congressional party, says positively that no move will be mode toward statehood for Arizona in any form whatever. "That has been de cided upon." The prevalent belief of the committee is that Arizon and New Mexico had best wait five years, as ad mission to statehood now would unset tle the present progressive conditions and check the influx of capital. But in five years' time things will lx differ ent In view of errors in the past in the matter of admitting unripe territor ies to statehood, thi would eein to be wise conclusion. 0 STEP BY SIEP. Count Witte's offer of concessions has been met with scorn by the radicals, who are approaching closer and closer to a condition of anarchy. Tlie concil- atory tone adopted by the Russian Pre mier had no softening effect. "My broth er workmen," he called them. "You are not a brother workman," they replied. "You are a court favorite. Give us all or nothing." The ballot is the thing they apparently mot demand. The lift ing of a tax debt of approximately forty millions off the people by the delivery of the crown lands has had no material effect. The ravenous appetite for lib erty is only increased by the scraps and bones thrown to it. Not knowing ex actly what they want, the massea are torn apart, and are drifting through a disagreeable and dangerous chaos. The report of mutiny in the army in Man churia may or may not be true. It would not be surprising. When the dis affection among the troops reaches the proper stage, there will no longer be reason to ask, what will happen it will be open revolution. 0 STEP BBY STEP. M. Louis Oodard, a balloon manufac turer of Paris, claims, according to "The Ixmdon Globe," to have solved a prob lem of great importance for aeronauts that of the influence exerciied upon the gas in a balloon after long exposure to the upjM-r air by the various changes in temperature through which it pases. This effect aeronauts describe as "dila tation." M. Ciodard approached the prob lem by an analogy with clothing, and. oWrving that light clothing is the rule in hot climates, as less aborbent than dark, he proceeded to search for a sub stitute for the 11-iial dark yellow coat ing of vaini-li, which in time turns al most black. He has, in the result, pat ented an aluminum paint, for which it is claimed that it lessens the heating of tlie gas and the absorbing qualities of the material, and that there is a dim inution of one-half in the "dilatation." from which Uiera results, among other advantage, a saving of ballast FUNDAMENTAL LAW. Freedom of religion worship is hard ly a thing one would expect to see in any of Ue South American countries, but the entering wedge has been driven, and we may hope for the future. Bo livia, named for "the liberal," Gen. Simon Bolivar, of Mesmsl memory, has actually amended her constitution to permit the free exercise of all forms of religious worship in that republic. A country that doe not revogni that in herent and inalienable right of its citi zens is uo republic at all. Oood lor Bolivia? JAPAN RESPONSIBLE. The expected seems to le coming to pass in Corea in the extension of a Jap anee protectorate over that country. That will probably be for the best. There is no indication that the Coieaus have either the ability or the inclina tion .o dcvJop and eulightn' their country in accordie- with lnodefrn ideas. Yet there is an urgent need of the doing of such work, and there is no nation that could more effectively and appropriately do it than Japan. 0 STILL GOING. The Duke of Ahmzzi will now gratify his well known passion for exploration by visiting Central Africa. The climate there ought to afford a pivoting contrast to that of tlie polar seas, but he can hardly find more imposing scenery on the dark continent than he surveyed from the top of Mt. St. F.lia in Alaska a few years before his attempt to Wat Nansen's record. 0 After reading Rev. Dr. Parkhurst's violent comment on those who sin, and his free use of the word d n, there is an inclination to be less severe on those burlesque shows in which there is a liberal use of swear words. It is perhaps as excusable to use profanity on the stage as in the pulpit. 0 Once more the boycott movement in China has been checked. So oftn has it been checked that one would imagine there ought not to lie anything more heard of it. But the checking seems to be something like the farewell tmr of wornout actors and actresses. o China is busily engaged on the de tails of her $20,0(10,000 bill for dam ages sustained in the i(uso-.iapanee war, but it does not yet appear which power she expects payment from.

Our well-known druggist, Mr. Charles Rogers, is very enthusiastic over the de licious cod liver oil preparations which contains no oil. In referring to the matter, said Mr. Rogers, "We sell many tonics, and we handle all kinds of rem edies that claim to be invigorators and strength creators. We do this because we are druggists, and it is our business to supply the public with what they want. When our nil vice i asked, however, in regard to a tonic, body-builder or rtrcngth-creator, we invariably recom mend Vinol, as we know of nothing that can compare with it. In Vinol modern science has bgiven us all the tonic, body building and cura tive properties of that famous old rem edy cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' livers, without a drop of the obnoxious and system-clogging grease which characterize old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, and which has proved such a drawback. Vinol is not a patent medicine, as the label on each bottle tells, everything it contains, therefore you know exact ly what you are taking. In the most natural manner it tones up the digestive organs, creates a hearty uppctite, makes rich, red blood, and strengthens every organ in the body to do its work as nature intended. Our faith in Vinol is so strong that we gladly offer to refund the money in every case where it fails to give satis faction." Charles Rogers, druggist.
