HERE'S TO THE DAY I.
For the last 131 years we Ameri
cans have been more or less joyfully
celebrating this anniversary of our
national independence, and the hope
is deep and stadfast everywhere that
its splendid significance may ilve for
all the time man shall know; that its
lesson may never become dimned in
the heart and history of the people to
whom it means so much; that the
glory of the land may gather and ex
pand, and compel the whole world to
acknowledge the vast and universal
.blessing that accrued to mankind with
the birth of the nation; that year by
year we may become a better, nobler
and olftier example of civic power
and influence in the redemption of
mankind to the ideal.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?.
Forty prominent Democrats have
refused, point blank, to run with the
peerless Nebraskan in the presidential
race. Why?.
Is it because they fear his third,
and probable defeat?.
Perhaps the forty-fourth man will
consent upon the vague predicate of
the famous old ratio of "4-11-44"
whatever that stood for, and take his
place at the elbow of Mr. Bryan, in
different to defeat, and conscious only
to the extraordinary conspicuousness
that will be his for a few months. It
is a bait quite sufficient for the ordi
nary Democrat; but not for the brainy
men who have no desire to figure in
the "three times and out" game now
afoot.
If such an absurd crisis " should

OVERTAXED.

to have a fine company of 70 or more
men, well equipped, well officered and
well housed, and in close touch with
the regular force at the forts at the
mouth of the river. The company is
to figure in the coast artillery service
and will be trained to' that system of
tactics and procedure; this in itself
is a conspicuous advantage, as bo.th
men and officers will have a distinct
training in great as well as small
arms.
All Astoria has pride in the new de
parture and everyone is wishing it
abounding success. Such organizations
are always popular and the knowledge
of their presence and capacity for
protection and advantageous service
holds them always within the public
purview and justifies the public in
terest. The only regret expressed in
relation to the new company, is that
it' was not in shape to participate in
today's celebration; but that will be
made good in due time.
It is well for the young men of
Astoria to remember that not only
are the 70 who have signed the
muster-roll amenable to enlistment at
the coming assembly of the company,
living at 423 East Morrison street,
Portland,- Ore., says: "When I
used Doan's Kidney Pils three years
ago, it was for a bad condition of my
blood and I believed that it would be
a good plan to treat the kidneys, for
my physicians had been unable to
give me any permanent relief. I
found that the use of Doan's Pills
proved my theory, for within a
month I felt relief and continued
their use until the trouble disappear
ed. Since then I have been entirely
free from it."

Unless there is an improvement in
the betting situation, the contest of
July 4 will go into history as tbc
lightest from a speculative standpoint
in the history of championship bat
tles. There is ample Gans money in
sight for all purposes, but the Nilson
end is a negligible quantity. The
odds of 2 to. 1 on Gans still predomin

ing made that the champion will win
inside of twenty rounds, for which

CHICAGO., July 3 Hiding in the
shsdow of the church he had threat
ened to dynamite after having been
refused money by the pastor whom
he had declared he would kill, Ales
sendro Alberto, an Italian, was
caught by detectives last night.
The prisoner, who is said to be a
member of several Italian secret so
cieties, threatened the life of the Rev.
Pacifoico Chcmil, pastor of the
Church of the Holy Guardian Angel.
Alberto's threats followed several un
successful attempts to get money
from the priest. The priest said that
when he refused to give the man the
money he was threatened with death
and told that his church would be
dynamited.
