From all over the State of Oregon conies tales of reasonable sort and from reliable sources, telling of the certain success of the state ticket in republican Oregon. East and North and South, the story is the same, and the west is rap idly falling into line, and with the week that is left for the round-up, there will be but one conclusion on next Monday, the overwhelming election of tlu men win) stand for republican principle-. What else can be expected in republican Oregon than ju-t tin one, rijjlit and logical result. The only tliinsr to do in perfecting the completeness of the re publican victory for the state nominees i- to have every county on record in simikir -tyle with its own vo-tei of official aspirant. This will -tide and stagger the denuvracv, once for all. and give them their (mil lesson in "non- part innship" especially as applied to their particular cult anil campaign per sonnel. I'lat-op is well up on the alpha betical li-t of counties and should be among the first to how a splendid ag gregate in the great report. o THE P0PL1TICAL LIE, The political lie has lost it savor and its efficacy: and the political liar has all but lost hi occupation. The day when a bald. Ixild lie could be sprung on a good man and sent current through a community to his undoing, is swiftly passing; the people aw alive to the sc.i- sonableness of the campaign lie and are not convinced by it a they once were. Like a lot more of the old-time cam paign expedients, that have been out grown and hackneyed, the stump lie. and particularly, the personal lie, is 11 futile weapon in politics. There aiv a few poor politicians who cling to the method from sheer force of habit, but the up-to-date contestant is beyond that stage of the game and relies upon heal thier and decenter forms of nggresion .and persuasion. This is as it should he; no matter the source, no matter the object, the deliberate lie, sent out knowingly and with felonious intent, is a cowardly contrivance and ALWAYS REACTS DISASTROUSLY. o NO TIME TO LOSE. The proposition held out by Mayor Herman Wise, in relation to the acquire ment of a big. new hotel for this city, is one that cannot be dallied with. What ever of zest and timeliness the people of Astoria are possessel of must find demonstration in favor of thi project immediately. To delay and haggle and waste time over a genuine, straightfor ward and simple idea as is embodied in this proposition, is to quickly disgust the men who are willing to initiate the movement and put up the money and the building. It should not be beyond the limit of Astoria's snap to furnish a lot for the building. The Chamber of Commerce and every live agency in the place should take hold of the matter and push it to actuality before the pluck and spirit of the outsiders who have signified their willingness to contribute the most of the money, is dulled and disappointed to the point of refusal to make good to an unappreciable com munity. Oet a hustle on, and secure the advantage while it lies ready at hand. 0 The recent rise in value of silver- has had the effect of upsetting the ratio fixed in the new Philippine coinage sys tem. Pesos are worth more now as bullion than as money, and Congress is making ready to clip them a trifle in .weight. This is a contingency little dreamed of three years ago, when Mex ico was preparing to discard the silver standard and bullion values were expect ed to sink lower and lower. Perhaps silver has passed the worst stage in the downhill road it has been traveling for the last twenty years. 0 Mayor Sehmitz of San Francisco was running a wide-open town before the calamity, according to the defeated can didates at the lat election, but they are now compelled in the present crisis to keep on all the lids. He has shown them what is best and worst in municipal conduct and government. Secretary Taft. urges the construction of a cable to Panama as a military necessity. Probably he wants to be in shape to wiiv a fight at a moment's notice. This is also a billion country in the number of trees slashed down annually, and the time i near when forestry will be discovered to be something more than a fad. 0 For a change, Kentucky ought to grant Caleb Powers a trial by a jury selected in the ordinary wav. The twelve-Democrat panel ha become monotonous. Russia is to have parliamentary gov ernment but the Czar draws the line at hobnobbing with the representatives of the people. Italian, Tnli-h and Hungarian flags are so thick in Ohio that the star spangled banner can hardly be seen. 0 General Funston insists that there are too many men to feed and not enough to work in San Francisco. J. Pierpont Morgan is about to invest in another great worn of art the Chicago street railway. EDITORIAL SALAD. Another thing that has been demon strated within the last week is that our prosperity i- the kind that can deliver tlii' goods. Tiiiladclpliia Pres. No IVmoiiMtic paper ha yet suc ceeded in explaining why it i so wrutliy about what it call- Kepublican Hopping in the Senate. Maybe they hoped for a bad rale law. o In moving up to the head of the list of the world's exporting nations, the I'liitisl State- has another reason for (Hiintiiig with satisfaction to the period of the Dingley law. After the people of IVnver shall have tried a lX'inocratic administration they will be more inclined to vote for muni cipal ownership, or anything el-e that implies a change. A very serious disturbance is impeinl ing in Santo Domingo. I'liles Ccnctul Morales shall happen to trip up on his 40-pound salicr he will give the Ameri can navv a bad scare. The man with the muck rake can get a decent job by changing that implement for a shovel, or any other u-eful tool, and inquiii: at. San Francisco. St. Louis Glibe-lVmoerat, It seems invidious in Kus-ia to shoot General Stoessel and a rear admiral for their shaiv in the recent war, though disposing of a few grand dukes in that wav would look like busine-s. It was all right for sarcastic Secretary Shaw to indicate West Point as the best school in the world for milking preach ers; but why did he not tell us to what theological school to apply for fighters? Some of the Democratic senators re fuse to give IVesident Roo-evelt any share in the credit for passing the rail road rate bill. Should the new law- prove unsatisfactory they will give him all of the blame. A great deal of satirical comment has been excited by the report that the liquor bill of the country for the last year was $1,548,708,307, although the figures un doubtedly call for sobor reflection. Washington Post. o Democratic papers say the tariff is the issue on which their party can most easily agree. Mr. Cleveland will no more subscribe to that view than to the tariff monstrosity the Democrats -ent him during his last administration, o Some of the Democratic paper that -ay the Senate rate bill is a -urrender also declare that it will be pronounced unconstitutional because it goe- too far. It is clear that the Democratic ammunition hoped for failed to ma terialize. 0 WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO. Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy. All the blod in the body pa-sc through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they re move about .WO grains of impure mat ter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many disca-es and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel disorders of the eyesight and hearing dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filt ers right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. Mrs. 8. Collins, of 6"!t liight street, Salem, Ore., says: "Trouble with my kindneys and backache have caused me much annoyance for several years. Although I used a good many remedies I obtained no positive relief until my at tention was called to Doan's Kidney Pills, and I procured them. They soon brought me effective benefit, eased the bearing down feeling through the back and loins and banished the aching and other symptoms that had annoyed me for so long. I have since learned of others who think the world of your re liable remedy, and I gladly recommend it to all suffering from backache or kid ney trouble."
