This anuiiils a bit rouKli on his
neighbors and will be resented by muny
who are really cognisant of the actual
facta In the ease. That there are any
great numbers of Americana swarming
over the northern line of this country
we doubt seriously: but that those
who go there to dwell do find a sound
code of laws thoroughly and fairly
applied In all cases, goea without any
Ing with those who are conversant
with the trend and character of Camv
dlan Jurisprudence. The whole Kng
llsh system of law, Including the Ca
nadian processes, Is famous for Its
equity and scope and more than fa

Irrespective of persona. Influences,

' It wtll be no matter ot aurprlsa to
find this opinion universal even on

worth the best thought that Americans

The statement filed with the county
court on Wednesday last by the attot
neys selected by that tribunal to In
vestigate the status ot the wretched
Imposition, Is fair and full and, we
. believe, final, as to the adverse con
clusions submitted. And we earnestly
hope there "will be no wavering, nor
abandoning, of the project to force the
measure through, the last court In the
land. If we have to hear the Iniquit
ous burden of this plain graft we want
to know that It has the sanction of
the law for some of. its provisions, at
least, and that It has ' the color of
righteousness even If it has to be
smeared on,
W again Call attention to the tren
chant silence of the Oregonlan on this
fraudulent attempt to swing this peo
ple Into line for the sole benefit of the
metropolis. It la the one con vicing
fact of the utter humbuggery of the
whole thing, for If It had the merit
and justice that should attach to so
Important a law, that paper would be
at the shoulder of the thing without
lapse or variance. That It Is a fraud
on its face; was conspired in secrecy
and urged Into enactment by the most
conspicuous chicanery and Is a dubious
and illegal expedient, stands proven by
the desultory attitude of that great
paper in Its behalf..
When this county enters the arena
of the law to test the character Of the
bill, attempt must have the cordial and
hearty endorsement of all hands.
If Astoria Is tj Indulge her friends
abroad with a regatta this year, It Is
quite time the Initial steps were taken;
and it Is equally Imperative that the
contrary be made known to order that
the people may know, what to do and
what to expect, In the promt,

estimate as conclusive argument for",
or against, the festival; and ascertain
If there Is any alternative idea that
will serve in its stead for this season.
The Astoria regatta Is quite an in
stitution and not easily forgotten by
'hose froth the outsMe Who ha en
joyed the celebrations In the past and
as the issue is one of far-reaching
effect, -it should be decided at once In
order that those charged with Its ful
fillment be allowed ample time In
which to prepare for It, or such other
scheme as is to supplant It this year.

SAME OLD 8TORY.
There is much ado about the fact
that ten of Uncle Sam's marines have
been badly dealt with by the Cubans
at Havana, the police being the scape
goats in the matter; and Washington
Is stirred op over the case and there is
all ' manner of red tape being un
wound, ' and rewound, and a demon
stration will probably be made In be
half of the dignity of the government,
it ate.
Speaking from an experience of some
years in the navy a friend at our
elbow suggests that it Is the same old
story of a gang of drunken men in a
port they do not like, and of conse
quent disorder, with the worst of it
coming to the invaders. And we are
Inclined to believe his- deductions are
correct
There is no worse specimen of ribald
Uebauchery known than the American
marine when he gets full and wants to
make a record. The ordinary drunken
sailor is not In it for a moment with
the sea-soldier; he has the field ab
solutely to himself in this ugly premise
and cherishes the record more than
any other he may make ashore or
afloat. And no one knows it better
than the government officials who have
to 'deal with him. Of course it is not
always his fault, but history proves
that the exception la too infinitely rare
to avail him anything In the case
where it supervenes.

animal Is akin to love to humankind."

Mr. Gladstone predicted that by the
end of the present century the United
States would have a population of
600,000,000 and be more prosperous on
account of the Increase. If that many
people can govern themselves success

hitch on, or follow the example.

Something dreadful
is foinf to happen,
nothing it ever jutt
right, and tfiey
worry and fret and
complain from
morning till night.
Their trouble
seems to be jutt a
bed disposition but
this it seldom so.
In most ease there
is one of two things
th matter with
them: either their
or their digestion is responsible.
Both coat from the tame thing ttomseh
trouble. A man or woman whose nerves
art tied la knot is bound to ba mii'htv
poor eompany. Tb same thing is true if
what ther tat don't qigett properly. No
woodcr tkey grumble, f don't bltme them.

Here a eate ot thit kind:

alto bad chromo eonttipation, and wss
tired, dull, irritable end despondent all
the time. 1 found it difficult to attend to
my duties at traction agent at this piece."
"Six different doctors treated me and
all gave different opinions."
1 began taking Cooper t New Discov

the first. I have gained ten poundt in
