The vast majority of Americans are doing their best to come to a sensible 'understanding of all this Japanew American war talk. They cannot real ke the cause for it; they know that only a short while ago, when Japan was in the throe of her great encounter with Russia, that American sentiment and expression was practically, almost universally, pro-Japanese, and just why the revulsion should ensue, to a point that puts the "little brown man" in the 'eatasronr of our enemies i a na tional conundrum our people are trying, in all kindnesses and patience, to solve: and in this behalf they have reached but one conclusion, so far, and that ia, the cause, whatever it may be, is not in digenous to this soil and people. We have always been the friends of the Japanese, so far back as any one now alive can remember, and the mystery surrounding our present attitude will take some mighty plain talk from one government, or the other, to effect a satisfactory solution. If it arises from the Japanese sense of glory and pride, and lust ior con quest, wrought by the victories achiev ed over Russia, and which makes the victors eager to keep in the field of war just to see how far they can carry the measure of their success, we are sorely disappointed in the race, since we had accredited them with a better poise and sounder principles; if it is because we have given them ground for war, we know what the claim is based upon, un less it be the local ruction in San Fran cisco, and this we do not believe to be a "causus belli" and we do not believe that they believe it; and in default of better grounds than these, we must ac cept the hypothesis of racial bigotry and folly, the like of which has never been noted yet in history. There will be war if the Japanese government fails to put a muzzle on the tongues of some of her naval officers who are charged with such sentiments and expressions as that credited, in yes terday's despatches, to Admiral Saka moto, who is reported to have said that our men "would desert the fleets" and that our officers were without profes sional perspicuity in the handling of those fleets. Such further comment as he made upon the patriotism of the Americans is of a piece with the text of his recorded judgment, and a little of that sort of thing goes a long ways on this side of the Pacific. America has had nothing but clever and generous things to say of the Japs for years past, and the knowledge of such estimates as this held and uttered over there, is poor return for the specific friendliness she has experienced at our hands. If Japan must have war, she is likely to get it, not only from us, but irom a few other sources that she cannot hope to avoid once the engagement is de clared, and we doubt if she can stand the pressure that will be brought to bear upon her if she carries her bump tious penchant to its foolish conclusion. She must be drunk with the access of her glory to pursue the path ,and pace she is going, and she cannot possess the wisdom we have always accorded her, if she adheres to her present pro gram. We like her spunk, but we'll have to lick her all the same! o Presbyterian, Morning worship, U o'clock; com munion; "The Name"; Sunday school, 12:15; Y. P. S.

A GREAT CIVIC MERGER When the destiny of a swtUm, such as that in whioh the City of Astoria is i h .hmiinent factor, i under eonsid- ration bv the people inhabiting it, there are many things that rie in the minds of imnt to swell ami enrich the possibilities that are inherent in the developing program, and among toe bright and better element of progress attributable to this city aud section, i'as occurred the happy and feasible prospect, aud prospectus, of the civic merger of the peninsula townsm1 ot Astoria, Warrenton, Hammond and Havel, the whole to be included in one splendid and composite municipality bounded, on the west Hy the Pacific iVean ,oi the east by the townsite line between townships 8 and 9 west, on the south by the township line between townsships 7 ami 8 north, and on the north by the lordly Columbia itself; giv ing to the world a corporate site 60 square milea in scope, for the building of a magnificent Pacific metropolis, a second New York, and the finest loca tion and latitude for the establishment of an incomparable marine depot that shall serve Oregon, Washington, Mon tana and Idaho, and all their tributary territory a well as the farther, foreign realms of commerce, for all time to come. In making this suggestion we are mindful of the crudeness of the idea and its startling effect on the minds of those who have given the matter thought, and expect to meet a volumne of dubious debate as time and study shall uncover the arguments, for, and against, the plan. It is a large matter aud many people and huge and valuable interests are interwoven with it. all of which must be studied inclusively and con clusively, until there shall have evolved a concrete and wholesome sentiment in favor ,or disfavor, of it. It has some extraordinary phases that tend to its acceptam-e, and there will lie much that is logical to urge against it; but it is big enough and promising enough, to warrant the best thought of eery citizen involved, and it is broached here, and now, for the sole ptiqiose of inviting the a pt.es t and .fullest expres sion of that thought, from all inter ested sources. The leading idea is, perhaps, the value of creating a concrete, interdependent, wealthy and commanding municipal dis trict, that shall operate on large and comprehensive lines for the develop ment of the territory intimately en gaged, as well as for the county and the state; the establishment of a civic force that has an influence and prestige that shall make for the accomplishment of those things that might be unattain able by the lesser community acting alone and unaided. It is rich in possi bilities, and the impossibilities may take care of themselves. The plan has the sanction of a num ber of deeply interested citizens already and by the time it shall be ready for submission to the popular vote, that vote may be so popularly affirmative as to cause regret that it was not done years ago. At all events general discus sion cannot do any harm and it is a question quite interesting enough to in vite the wniest range of treatment. FAVORS OF REVISION. Son Of General U. S. Grant May Be Candidate For President. CHICAGO, July 8. A dispatch to the Tribune from St. Louis, says: .Jesse B. Grant of Xew York, a son of General U. S. Grant, and H. H. Childers, former ly in charge of the department of speak ers of the Democratic national com mittee, arrived here last night from New York and are making headquarters at the Southern Hotel. Mr. Grant has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the presidency on the Democratic ticket. In speaking of his comine tour which begins here, he said: "You can hardly call me a candidate for the presidency yet, and it remains to be seen whether or not I ever shall be. My decision as to entering the race depends on the re sults of my trip. At present I would not care to enter into anv political dis cussion, out I, like most people today, t.l! x, .1.. ueiieve mere snouia te some revision of the tariff and regulation of the trusts." FASTER FRIENDSHIP. LONDON, July 8.-King Carlos has received a Brazilian demitv. Kenrap fi. zedello Correa to whom he declared that his visit to America will be limited to Brazil.

The Charming Woman is not necessarily one of perfect lorm and features. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires: neatness, clear eyes, clear smooth skin and that sprightlines of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman is never attractive, not even to herself. Electric Bitters restore weak women, give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvetv skin, beautiful comnlexinn.

Salvation Army lasses to give them the odd J12O0 in mileage and) witness fee earned by John D Rockefeller and oth ers, o that -W0 more babies 01 me noi tenement districts may breath frwh country air for a week. The company's magnates forgot all about this amaU matter of $1200 and left it in the hand of the government. John S. Miller, their attorney told Dis trict Attorney Sims that lie thought his witnesses did not care about the 1.50 a day they earned and the $100 apiese in mileage and would not even claim it. Rockefeller returned to Cleveland Sat urday and left his 100 in the hands of Marshal Hoy, enough money to send 40 babies to the country perhaps lave their lives in this hot weather. There were U witnesses in all who came lie- fore the court. Each is entitled by law to a fee of $1.30 and 5 cent a mile for everv mile traveled going ami coining. Roughly, this amounts to a total 01 $1200. It was this fund that the lassie of the Salvation Army determined should not lie idle. After a hurried consultation among the officers of the organization last night, they despatched a personal mes sage to Mr. Rockefeller and asked him to direct his attorney to turn the money over to them. They pledged them selves to give an accounting and devote the money to the use of the poor. WILL SAIL FOR CHINA.
