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.

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." For sale by Frank Hart
and leading druggists.
RAINBOW TROUT.
NEW YORK, April 2.-For the
purpose of obtaining eggs of the
rainbow trout with which to stock!
the streams of Germany. 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.

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.
