AS WE VOTED.
The secrecy of the Australian ballot
is its one barrier against all individual
reproach for its mis-use; a hypothesis
that some of our people lay large
store by. But even this exemption may
not relieve a man from the folly, or
worse, of his misdirected vote; his
conscience, and the discomfiture of
civic life that ensues from ignorance
and turiptude, bring him his share of
burdensome reaction. Luckily the
vast majority of men vote right and
with clean purpose, for in default of
such a condition, government would
be disorganized and society disrupted
in short order.
As we voted on Monday so shall we
prosper in a civic way and we must
be careful to charge the developing
failures to their original source and
cause, the people. By the adoption
of what are known as the popular laws
we have taken over the power of
framing our own edicts and setting
them up; it is an immense prerogative
and charges us with a responsibility
we will not really appreciate until we
have blundered gravely, by way of
conviction that we have not learned
the business. But all is of the future,
We are prone to believe that Clat
sop made an error when it cast 307
votes against the armory appropria
tion; it will not contribute to the
friendlier consideration of Astoria as
a location for one of the four armories
that are to be built at a cost of $25,
000 now that the people have willed
it On all other referendum matters
the vote of this city and county is
well balanced and entirely creditable
to the thought and principle actuating
it. As to the personnel of the ticket,
the expression of Clatsop is strictly
in line with the major sentiment of
the State, and that is all that can be
said of it at this time.
It Is no wonder that England Is
grave over the remote possibility of
rebellion in India. Memory Is short In
nations, but the fact that the famous
Indian mutiny Is not yet forgotten,
after half a century, is significant of
the horrors of a war with a aemlsav
age people. If history is to repeat
itself England knows only too well
what another Sepoy rebellion will
mean.
Horace Fletcher, who Is set up as an
authority on eating, says ' that one
should never begin a meal except
when In a happy frame of mind. Be
ing a millionaire. Fletcher undoubted
ly has worries and need his own ad
vice, but the average person grows
happy on the bare thought that he has
a meal to eat
Some sort of pure food laws must
have struck heathen lands, for It is
said by a scientist who was searching
for novelty that the cannibals have
dropped their specialty from the menu.
Authorship of the famous baseball
classic, "Casey at the Bat" la claimed
by a new aspirant. If Actor De Wolf
Hopper lends countenance to the claim
there may be something In It

A BARREN VICTORY.
Oregon's Democratic governor is
entitled to all the credit inseparable
from his political achievement at the
polls on Monday last, but as a victory
full, final and sure, it is barren. His
reliance upon the Statement Xo. 1
phalanx is where his assurance will
go to pieces.
He should be shrewd enough to
know that the Republicans, as such,
in this state, will make no more ado
about casting that pledge overboard
than they have made in any of the
untoward and disconcerting things
that have wrecked and maligned the
party, and left it a by-word of re
proach at home and abroad.
And then again he is going up
against the Portland program. He
may not know of it, or knowing it
may scoff it down as improbable and
unwarranted; but he can make a
memorandum of it and when he is
confronted with the bald fact he can
thank us at his leisure for the prompt
ing. A Portland man of a certain
class and relation and influence is
going to Washington from Oregon in
this oehalf ; he has been named by the
commercial interests at the metropolis
and when the time comes he will be
named and sent despite every man and
act of Monday last.
We are betraying no confidence
when we say the man's name is
Theodore B. Wilcox, and all the vot
ing in Oregon can not keep him from
that which his backers have determin
ed upon. It is dollars to votes, of
course, but that is of no importance,
save in the outcome, and we have
plenty of proof as to the prevailing
factor in such and engagement.
"Our George" may use what wit and
influence he posseses toward the
blocking of this game to his certain
advantage; for unless he does block
it he will never be United States Sen
ator from Oregon under his present
franchise of authority and hope.
SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Diseases Rout
ed Without Use of Injurious Drugs.
Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of Dr. Decatur D.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of
Chicago.
Dr. Dennis, in his own office prac
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
a sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis,
barber's itch, salt rheum, and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
wintergreen alone was found ineffec
tive. It required other mild ingred
ients such as glycerine and thymol
compounded with the wintergreen, to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Pre
scription positively takes away the
itch at once the instant it is applied
to the skin. This vegetable liquid
does away with deleterious drugs so
long used in an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has
determined that eczema is first and
all the time a skin disease.
If you want to know more about
the merits of D. D. D. Prescription,
call at our store. We vouch for this
remedy. Charles Rogers & Son.
