HIS TITLE CLEAR.
Hob. Joseph B. Whitney' Second Can
didacy for Stat Printer.
In announcing hi candidacy for re
let lion to the ollice of state printer
Mr. Joseph K. Whitnev is the only
.inn county- own who tin yet entered
lie poliliml list with reference to th?
t
ale ll. kit.
There is no reiieon '.y the long
tttmliiig ctftom of the liepntilican
party witli reference to a second term
or a coniiH'tdit olliier siiould not in
this caw lie followed.
It is a fat that Mr. Whitney has
K-i-ii a liti-loiig lirpiihlimin worker,
.lil.ilnl to lull t v ill. ill, InilisiMiscd to
frtitiaiuil nililiiitioif. 1'ifsilily no man

riiiintlv done. Stale doriinii-nt and
ulilicntions have been more at

It i not a fact that the revenues of
the ollliv hae been diverted into un
orthy channel, and hint from Port
land of relation with defunct bocs
have their origin only with the envious
and the Jealous who want the place
thciiiseUe.
It may be that th ollice should come
in contact with the pruning shear.
Th present printer did not fix the
vale. The present printed ha -never
opposed modification of price, restric
tion of the volume of printing or in any
way mtditled with th prerogutive of
the people In this naUter. No aane man
can well nay more, and the conduct of
the office at pre-cnt ia trictly bnsine
and free from criticism by the fair
minded. v
Appropriation for public printing

the like, The present printer ha cm-
iloycd high-tlas union printer, under
the right -hour rule and at a high scale
or time and overtime. In th legisla

promise of change for the better, h
been Intently activ in factional party

much to stir up bitter feeling in the

With other counties offering candi

several candidate for each of arverwl

Linn county' candidate for state oftlc

"To the Kditor of the Atorian.
''I notice in bmlay'e Oregonian, an
editorial on the effort of th AatorUo
to rngag th attention of it readers
to many things in and about Astoria
which they might do to advance the
Interest, of it home city. The Ore
gonian a editor I inciincu to oe ic-
liou but. all the same, he has another
editorial it-m, In the same im boom
ing the Nehalem and Tillamook coun
try, and incident uly stating that it Is
onlv lot) miles from Portland.
"I wish to commend the course of
the Astorian in it effort to wake up
it reader to the fact tliat there are
some tiling, that they might, cnuld,
would or should do, if they would only
get together aud try to do them,
wlictlH-r it is a seawall public park, or
park, or a railroad to Tillamook, and
if they do not do thrnvit is not the
fault of the Atorin; it ha don its
duty. 'Sic 'em Tigc.'

Th Grip.
"Before we can sympathize with oth
er, w .must hav suffered ourselves."
No on can realize the suffering attend
ant upon an stsck of the grip, unless he
ha had th sctual experience. There
is probably Bo dia that cause so
much physical and mental agony, or
which so suaarssfully defies medical aid.
All danger from the grip, however, may
be avoided by the prompt u of
Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy. Among
the tens of thousands who have msd
this remedy, not on c has ever beea
reported that has resulted in pneumonia
or that baa not recovered. For sale by
Frank Hart, and leading druggist.
For any disease of th skia there is
nothing better than Chamberlain's
Salve. It relieve the itching and burn
ing sensation instantly and1 soon effects
a cur. Sold by Frank Hart, and lead
