THE LATEST SOP. - 'i"u1 Revision of the federal tariff now figures as the latest sop, to be used in luring the votes and good-will of the electoral suckers of the land and its various and changable qualities will make it servicable to almost any sort of candidate in any old party. The proposition to revise is amenable to so many phases, limitations, and lines, that the country will hear of it from every concievable source and in every imaginable garb, until after the election, when it will again sub side and its mere mention be tabooed by the "leaders" as ominous, hurtful, untimely, etc., etc.; and the people will swallow the bait, gag a little, and subside, too. The Democrats are going into the campaign with "Revision" on their banners and on their tongues and will work the slogan for all it is worth. They may even succeed with it; only to find a Republican Senate and the "Interests" ready and willing to throw the country into the last ditch of financial and industrial depression either as preventive or reprisal. The need of such national legisla tion is sorely apparent and it must come within the next few years; but we would rather see the issue raised in a year when some strong President U firmly seated, with policy and pow er to make the work effective and sincere. Mr. Roosevelt frankly says this is no time to take up the vital and commanding question, . BE CAUSE of the tentative- and self centered uses that will be made of it in political circles (or words to that common sense effect), while Mr. Fairbanks is out in open champion ship of a "protective" revision, a piece-meal, partial, paltry, inane re vision, next winter, when the new President will have been elected but not yet inaugurated, a compromise altogether compromising and utterly ineffective; for the reason that the expiring Congress will be unwilling to put up a make-shift only too cer tain of annihilation at the hands of its successor. The country will be safe, and pa tient, and quite gratified, if it may have an honest deal on this great problem at the hands of the Sixty First Congress. cess if it could find a mechanism to work them in unison; the independ ence of each wing and its utter in tractability, reduces the party-system to a factional potpourri and robs it of' effectiveness.' The Populists, as its third auxiliary, has always been fairly controllabe, but Brer Coxcy is an unknown quantity this year, and his well known ascendency with the Populists (and with a commanding segment of the Democracy itself) may prove of material disadvantage to the "mother-party", this year, uu less he can be placated. This may be done by assigning him to the com mand of that contingent of the Democracy that typifies his old army if it shall not involve too great a per cent of the Democratic constituency and give him the "swelled head," a contingency too replete with possibili ties to regard with equanimity any where in America. THE HARMONIOUS HUNDRED. NO DEMOCRATS NEED APPLY! Brigadier-General Jacob S. Coxey, retired, of the erstwhile, National Hobo Reserves, but now temporary chairman of the National Populist convention, at St. Louis, with the aid of his friends, has put up stout bar riers around that stronghold against the traditional piracy of the Bryan wing of the Democracy, and up to last night, had withstood the en croachment of the wily and perverse friendly-enemy of populism. But the Bryanites need not despair of ulti mate control of the "pops"; they have so invariably fallen into the pits dug for them by the Democratic shovel, and have so regularly and cheerfully pursued the Bryan-string attached to their noses, that no matter where they may drift during the campaign, they will be found doing their poor best at the polls for the perennial Wil iam; and at his "trough," later in the season, if that gentleman should by any mischance reverse history and possess a "trough." The national Democratic party has "wings" enough to take it almost any where in the realm of political suc- It is hoped that by next Tuesday evening when the Astoria Fhilhar monic Society gets together for final organization there may be an even hundred peope, male and female, of pronounced talent, in the corporate party. This is none too many for the purposes of such an organization, and but a fair per cent of the clever people in Astoria amenable to such a call. Others will follow, of course; and time and a devoted adherence to the standards of culture insepar- abe from such an alliance, must re dound immensely tp the credit of this community. ' 5t, That the inaugural group is to en joy the leadership of Dr. Emil Enna is no small factor in the fine scheme, and that he wil stay with them as long as he is within possible touch goes without saying. There is wide spread interest here in the new de parture and the society can never lack appreciation and support at home; it has everything in its favor and nothing to discourage it, and once started with an even hundred earnest, accomplished members and the directorship of such a masterful sponsor as Dr. Enna, the happy issue of the whole affair as one of the lead ing and permanent institutions of the City-by-the-Sea is assured. MANY LIVES LOST Heavy and Continual Downpour Causes the Trouble. Before the People Card's of Candidates in tha Coming Campaign. TRAFFIC AT A STANDSTILL The Second Timber Boom Broke Last Night Releasing 100,000 Logs 20,000 Passed Into Ohio River 80,000 Formed Gorge Against Piers HUNTINGTON, W. Va., April 2- The continal downpour of rain for three days throughout West Virgina has caused loss of lives and damage to property exceeding half a million dollars. Reports along the Elkhorn and Tug rivers are to the effect that hundreds of families are homeless, having been driven from their homes by the high water in those streams. Railroad traffic is at a standstill ow ing to numerous washouts. A number of bridges have been carried away. The second timber boom in the Guiandette river broke last night re leasing about 100,000 logs. Twenty thousand of them passed into the Ohio river, but 80,000 formed a gorge against the piers of the Chesapeake and Ohio R. R. bridge. Grave fears are. felt f r the safety of the bridge. Three men were drowned yester day at Rock, W. Va., by the collapse of a suspension bridge spanning Blue Stone river. EDITORIAL SALAD Abdul Aziz is reported to have paid Mulai Hand a large sum of money to withdraw from the country. The world would like to be informed if this transaction was in hard cash or John Smiths. West Virginia coal was the attrac tion that caught a royal suitor for an American heiress. Missouri has zinc as well as coal, but its heiresses will have to be shown anything equal to an American sovereign. The new Paris aeroplane is such a success that the dictionary makers should invent a word equivalent to stable or garage. Keeping a carriage, automobile and aeroplane will add a pleasing variety to the locomotion of those who can afford it. President Eliot of Harvard cele brated his 74th birthday by riding a bicycle one mile instead of his usual daily half mile. And some of the 50-year-old army officers in Washing ton complain because they are re quired to take a thirty-mile horse back ride with no extra charge for the fun and beautiful scenery. Chabmerlains's Has the Preference. Mr. Fred. C. Hanrahan, a promi nent druggist of Portsmouth, Va., sstys: "For the past six years I have sold and recommended Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy. It is a great remedy and one of the best patent medicines on the market. I handle some others for the same purposes that pay me a larger profit, but this remedy is so sure to effect a cure, and my custom er so certain to appreciate my recom mending it to him, that I give it the preference."

Dr. Fred-1 erick Fisher has come to New York. He is general secretary of the Society of Fisheries of Germany. Thirty years ago the government of Ger many obtained 300,000 rainbow trout eggs in America and stocked certain streams, but the fish are now prac tically exhausted, and a new supply is sought. Dr. Fisher expects to re turn to Germany in a few days and to take 250,000 trout eggs with him. 1 ,.! . la . 1 A VOTE FOR J. A.

VOTE FOR TO DEFRAUD GOVERNMENT HELENA, April 2.- Rather sen sational evidence was adduced yes terday at the trial of Messrs Dallas, Mc Leod and Hovey, who are charg ed with forgery of field notes and conspiracy to defraud the govern ment, while employed in the office of the Surveyor General here. One sur veyor swore that his signature was forged and that the hand writing was that of O. C. Dalls, the chief clerk in the office. Another witness denied that he had made surveys or signed documents purporting to be his. "One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin." When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something exceptionally good he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. . This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy write letters to the manufactur ers for publication, that others sim ilarly ailing may also use it and ob- tain relief. Behind every one of these letters is a warm-hearted wish of the writer to be of use to some one else. This remedy is for sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. COFFEE The dealing- is simple.
