Increasing cloudiness; cooler.
BRIBERY ALREADY AFOOT.
The Portland press is perfectly
candid and unambiguous about the
fact that bribery is already afoot to
defeat George W. Chamberlain for
the United States Senatorship. This
is a bit earlier than we had expected
to hear of the game and we confess
to no other element of surprise in
the premise than its rather remarkable
celerity.
The Senatorial game as it will be
played out in this commonwealth,
from now on to the climax in Janu
ary, will be one of the object lessons
of the political history of Oregon, and
perhaps of the country. It will pay
the oldest of the arch-masters of the
great and nasty game to watch it
closely and take notes of men and
measures they know nothing about;
it will be a revelation, alright!. Ore
gon, politically organized and in her
right partisan senses, has turned some
of the biggest and foulest tricks of the
years; and now, disorganized, unled,
irresponsible, the license of the game
will be illimitable in finesses as well
as finance, AND scandal. It's going
to be a free for all scrap, without
rules, without mercy, but hardly up
to the Bayardan standard.

Astoria is never likely to do a
greater thing than this, and if it is
rightly done, it will repay her hand

But it must be done with devoted ad

municipal expediency known to mod

OREGON NIGGARDLINESS.
The majority of 2300 votes already
accounted for, in behalf of the Uni
versity of Oregon appropriation of
$125,000; and the majority of 19,500
against the appropriation of $100,000,
for the building of O. N. G. armories,
convicts the State of Oregon of nig
gardliness, pure and simple.
Such returns, in such causes, make
manifest the spirit of dubious econ
omy, and an unpatriotic estimate of
its plainer duties. In the matter of the
University bill, the meagre and grudg
ing success of the measure startles
everyone with the nearness of the
disgrace of its defeat and causes a
universal sigh of relief for the
escape made at the hands of the mod
erns who wrought it. On the other
hand, the glaring negative recorded
against the Armory provision, be
comes unhappily patent in the State
that was the first to raise a regiment
and land it in the Philippines, during
the trans-Pacific war; and it will be
heard from in the future to the last
ing discomfiture of the people.
It is this hide-bound policy that
keeps Oregon inertly nested in a
group of live and vibrant States and
marks her as "peculiar," to say the
least of it. It is this same habitual,
moss-grown passivity that holds her
down to one city of commercial sway
and influence and narrows her field
of operation in all lines for want of
competitive bids in the general
scheme of development; a condition
perilously retroactive in a territory so
vastly charged with superb advant-aees.
Mr. Bryan, who is resting on his
farm, says he looks for good news
in the fall. It is inferred that Mr.
Bryan expects great things from his
crop of buckwheat.
A Rhode Island man claims that
his health improved on a daily ration
of four or five ounces of sand con
tinued for several years. Perhaps the
strawberries sanded in showery
weather are in the nature of a double
blessing.
The shooting at the monitor in

A GOOD REASON.
THE KEY-PLAN.
The great scheme to build a per
manent sea-wall along the Astoria
front is the kev-plan of her real de
velopment. This compels the initial
determination of the mot progres
sive and adaptive system of construc
tion; lines, materials, grades and fa
cilities so comprehensive as to include
the widest range of utility the future
may demand.
Such an enterprise is, fundamental
ly, entitled to the utter wisdom of its
projectors because of its immense
bearing on the commerce of the years
to come; it must be built to serve
other generations, and its cost must
be borne thankfully by those that
come after; therefore we should hand
along something that will warrant the
pride and appreciation of those who
inherit it and which will serve their
Astoria People Can Tell You Why
It Is So.
Doan's Kidney Pilte cure the cause
of disease, and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kid
ney and urinary complaints. Astoria
people testify to permanent cures.
Wm. Joyce, 412 Duane street, As
toria, Ore., says: "At the time I be
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, I was
enduring a great deal of suffering
from my kidneys. The secretions
from these organs were so profuse
as to give me a great deal of annoy
ance. As a result of not getting my
proper rest at night, I would rise in
the morning feeling more tired and
weak than when I went to bed and
during the day felt weak and languid.
The slightest exertion caused severe
pains through my back and hips. I
tried liniments and planters but did
not receive any relief until my atten
ton was drawn to Doan's Kidney
Pills. I desired to give them a trial
and procured a box of Chas. Rogers &
Son's drug store. They helped me so
greatly that I procured a further sup
ply, used them and was entirely
cured. I am now in unusually good
health and do not hesitate to attribute
same to the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills."

"We really ought to," said she.
Dean laughed. It was a pleasant,
almost boyish laugh. His big shoul
ders were squared defiantly.
"The things one ought to do are gen
erally unpleasant," he observed.
"Come on. We'll let them out once
more."
The girl shook ber bead.
"No! Oh. no!" she demurred.

"I wish it were so," he declared. "I
wish I really might Inspire you to reck

"Now, please," the girl begged, with
heightening color.
"Oh, all right!" said he good natured

like to get out of this little old park

A light came Into the girl's eyes. She
threw back 'her head and gathered up
the reins.
"So would I." she declared, a trifle
breathlessly.
Dean swung a!)0ut to face her. There
was a quiet smile on his lips.
"Come, then." he said simply.
"We really shouldn't." she objected.
"Come," he repeated.
"I'm afraid when you speak in that
fashion."
"Come."
He turned the horse from the bridee

with it for many years, and this is the
