AN IMPORTANT DATE.
.
' December 13th, next, Is an important
date in Astoria. It U the date upon
which will be decided the result of the
City election, and also the result of
the June election. If the Democrat
and their adjuncts capture the poll
next month, they are in a very definite
position to control the cards in June.
There in much in what is known an the
"elemental effect" of elections: Give
them control of the city, and they pos
sess the leverage with which to over
turn the Republican status in June.
Your Democrat is no political fool; he
knows the value of the smallest pres
tige and uses it to perfection. He has
taken charge of this municipal contest
not so much for the local advantage
to be derived from it in the way of of
fices and officer, as for t!ie necessary
and weighty, influence it will give him
in June. With the municipal dub in
his adroit hand, he will make himself
invincible next summer, when he shall
go before the people and say fie Re
publican have relinquished their alleg
iance to the vital doctrine of municipal
government und have pus-cd up the
ftituation to more lileial himN. Look to
St vnn Pplillliliimw W illi' m iilt' Vdlll'
selves on the cleanliness of your admin
istrative platform and the wholesome
wmmen of your politics. The Demo
crat? are hot on your , trail and will
seize, with skill and avidity, upon the
slightest blunder you make. This is no
small, by-election of little or no im
portance; it is a real, auspicious, genu
ine affair of public concern and demands
President Catn h ehnnsvj hi

to pay France the second installment
of the Plunder award, he now savs he
was ready and anxious to pay all the
time, but President ixxihet failed to
end around on collection day for the
cash. Hence he has Wn in a terribly
embarrassing position. The money was
just burning hole in his pocket and
he couldn't sleep o'nijzht for fear that
someone might think he was trying to
get out of paying hi just debt. Then
those French warships in Veneuelan
water looked so naty. To relieve his
mind, the good and great Castro ask
American Minister Rusell to please be
so kind a to take the money and turn
it over to France. Thus endcth the
second chapter.

SAILORS ARE SAILORS.
Score of British tars were missing
when Prince Louis' fleet sailed away
from New York lad week. The depar
ture was delayed for a day or two in
order that the delinquents might be
rounded up by the police, and about a
thousand were thus reclaimed from the
attractions of the Bowery and other
places not so well lighted. But when
the last moment came, many were still
unaccounted for, and tlie prince left
them behind to suffer the hardships of
deserters. Some of them will doubt
less become American citizens and a
few will drift into our navy. Other
jackies beside our own are given to de
sertion, ill thus appear. Salior do
not take their duty so seriously as they
once did.

WHOSE GOT OUR SHARE?
The stock of gold in use as money
throughout the world on January 1,
l'JOo, according to Director Rolxrt of
the United States mint, was approxi
mately $5,000,000,0(10. The amount held
by banks wa 3,H4.tiOO,fH0. The Sta
tistical Abstract gives a table compiled
by experts and approved by the mint
authorities showing that the total pro
duction of gold in tlie world from 1493
to 1!K)4 was nearly 111,700,000,000. It is
probable that the gold in circulation at
the date of the discovery of America
amounted to more than a billion. Thus
it appears that upwards of 60 per cent
of the world's supply during the last
four centuries has been consumed in
the arts or lost through trade.

RIGHT IN SOME CASES.
James J. Corltt, "Ontleinan Jim,"
is also out for football reform. He says
he never had the courage to play the
game, and that, compared to it, a prize
fight "is a mere Quaker meeting." "We
pugilists," he adds, "go through battle
after battle without getting seriously
hurt," As to himself, he "has only one
star," and that is where he was vaccin
abed. And when he declares it is a
cleaner game to fight with fists than
with feet, what he evidently means is
that, under the rules, a prize fight is
fairer than a football game played with
foul blows.

A St. Petersburg correspondent says

"In conducting a large drug busine-s
we naturally mee4 a great many people
ut this seawn of the year who suffer
from coughs, colds and bronchial troub
les.
"A these troubles are easily con

want to say to the people of Astoria
that we guarantee our end liver oil pre
paration, Vinol, will cure hanging on
colds, stubborn coughs, bronchial and
lung troubles, quicker than any pre
paration of cisl liver oil ever compound
ed. It contains no oil or grease to ting
tlie system and upset the stomach, yet
it doc contain every one of tne fifty
odd medicinal elements actually taken
from freh cods' livers iu a highly con
centrated form, and is therefore the
best cod liver preparation obtainable.
Vinol is not a patent medicine; every
thing in it is named on the back label
of the bottle and you know what you
are taking so without reservation we
indorse and guarantee Vinol to
strengthen every organ in the body to
do its work as nature intended to cure
coughs, odds, brondiial brifiihUf, in
crease the appetite, build up the run
down, tired and debilitated, and cTeate
strength and renewed vitality for the
aged.
If Vinol fails to do what we say we
will refund every dollar paid for it
You know us and know we will do as we
agree." Charles Roger, druggist.
