AT THE LAST MOMENT.
Whatever of doubt, disagreement,
ambiguity, or ungratified personal inter
est (if any of these things exist here),
may taint the local campaign at this
moment, it goes without saying, that
every atom of it will disappear on the
morning of Monday, June 4, 1900. Every
republican In Clatsop must, and will,
face the grave duties of that day, mind
ful of the strong partizan obligation
that rests upon him to place his chosen
colleagues in ollloc, from .lames Withy-comix-
to .lohn Sayre, from governor to
eontalle. No bom fide republican mm.
in just us1 to the exigencies of the day.
do loss than this and' give a jnt ac
count of himself. It is the day and the
duty of re-adjustment of the patty in
the state and county; it i the peculiar
function of rehabilitation, to be crown
ed by the supreme uoces inherent in
i ho election of the last republican named
for otlice. That done, pending issue of
the le-ser soil, and private value, may
be accommodated and adju-ted within
the party lines, and the name of Oregon
republicanism, spared the lat fraction
of diminution and discredit. Think thi
over, republicans!
"EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY."
This old saying U ever applicable; it
has its daily and hourly manifestations;
in love, commerce, business and politics;
it is demonstrable here, there, and
everywhere; there aiv no limitations
that hedge it, no rules that accelerate
it. nor obviate it; it i- the outcome of
fixed fact and conditions that assert
themselves logically and in determi
nate fashion. The day of the democrat
in Oregon has passed. This is one of
the absolute facts born of the fixed con
.lition of the narties in this state. The
major party has determined to resume
its sway in the commonwealth : there
is nothing to oppose it save the aspira
tions of a few democrats for office, as
pirations begotten by the "acquired
taste in the mouth" of a few years
lease of power won by sheer chance; the
wholesome status of the republican or
ganization in the state, and the ab-ence
of the faintest reason for having re
course to other and outside elements,
makes this fact, immense, invincible,
and certain. There mut be extraordi
nary causes for the election of a demo
crat in Oregon. No cause exists! The
democrat has had his day! He must be
satisfied !

TWENTY-FOUR VS. NINETEEN.
When the world of commerce is in
volved in a disagreement between the
highest authorities that exist on the
actual depth of water to be had, for the
purposes of common usage, on a sea bar
like that at the mouth of the Columbia
river, and that disagreement involves
a working depth of live feet, the lay
man may well stand to one side and
watch the outcome with bated breath,
or an amused smile, as he shall be best
equipped to indulge, and bide the issue
as it shall fall. Some of the great and
official sponsors of the bar declare there
are twentv-four feet there at low
water. Other practical and intimately
informed persons in daily touch with
the barrier, declare there are but nine
teen feet available. Ships may come,
and ships may go, hut it is the one
tht neither conies nor goes that tells
the tale in the end. Have a care, gen
tlemen, the responsibility is something
enormous, and the blunderer will be
held to the most rigid accounting! The
truth must and shall prevail, even if
the Columbia has to climb out to sea!

A San Francisco editor says of his
city: "She's crippled, thirsty, hungry
and broke; she ha a few whole
churches, only half her sehoolhouses.
not one French restaurant, not a thea
ter; she is full of people without homes,
jobs or clothes; she is the worst bunged
up town that ever was. Hut the spirit
of her is something to bring tears of
pride to any American's eyes." That
leaves nothing to be said but "Bravo,
San Francisco!"
The notion that the germs of tuber
culosis could have been carried to Eu
rope and America with mummies from
.Egypt is ridiculous. Yet a word of
comment on it may not be out of place.
There are at least half a dozen conclu
sive reasons for rejecting the sugges
tion. One is the absurdity of supposing
that bacilli eould retain their vitality
for centuries. Another is the impossi
bility of their escape from the tissue
of the lungs of a carefully embalmed
body, if they ever really resided there.
It is a pity that the learned Egypt
ologist who imposed this reckless propo
sition on an unsuspecting audience in
Chicago last week did not first consult
a bacteriologist in regard to its reason
ableness. Candr and the Flat.
The following Is accredited to tho
late 8enator Hoar; At a Fourth of July
celebration in a Canadian town where
both English and American guest
were assembled the flags of the two
countries were used In decorations. A
frivolous young English girl, loyal to
the queen, but with no love for the
tars and stripes, exclaimed: "Ob,
what a silly looking thing the Ameri
can flag Is! It suggests nothing but
cneckerberry candy." "Yes," replied
Senator Hoar, "the kind of candy that
has made everybody sick who ever
tried to lick it."
Charity-.
Charity is a universal duty which it
la In every man's power sometime to
practice, since every degree of assist
ance given to another upon proper mo
tives Is an act of charity, and there la
scarcely any man lu such a state of
Imbecility as that he may not, on some
occasions, benefit his neighbor. John

Exposure
To cold draughts of air, to keen and
cutting winds, sudden changes of the
temperature, scanty clothing, undue ex
pisure of the throat and neck after
public speaking and singing, bring on
cougs and colds.

to take. Sold by Hart's drug store.
