HAVE WE A DEBT LIMIT?.
This is a question that Astoria
must ask herself, and answer, in a
very short time!.
Municipalities, like individuals, have
a limit of responsibility in money
matters that may not be transcended,
and the hour for. business reflection al
ways arrives. We are not setting the
hour; though we might do so with
perfect justice to the city and our
selves, but we are going on record
with a suggestion that may well be
heeded; that is, for the present ad
ministration, its successors, and the
property-owners of the city, to have
a care of the lengths to which the
public credit is carried, from this time
on. It is not necessary to array the
figures that prompt this hint they are
well known where they will assen
themselves at the hour mentioned,
and while there is no cause for anx
iety at the moment, the danger lina
may heave in sight at any time, and
we should be prepared to avoid it
. with honor and safety.
There are people who do not know
known quantity, an immeasurable
force, a startling and revolutionary
element, that but few men know how
1 to handle.
When men begin to realize how
supremely honest Theodore Roose
velt is, and has always been, they will
begin to know how to fight him with
some degree of possible success. And
William H. Taft is his counter-part,
or Roosevelt would not be behind
him.
TARIFF REVISION.
A business panic is a good deal like)
a freshet sweeping through a town
and raising the water of brook or
river to a destructive height. Such a
freshet can not always be foreseen
or provided against successfully; but
what would be thought of a man who
should propose that, because water
had risen over a dam it should be cut
down or removed? That is the Dem
ocratic idea of tariff revision. We
havehad business troubles in the
great centres the business, that of
banking, having no sort of connection
with the tariff and these troubles
have led to financial stringency and
loss of employment for a large num
ber of workers. The Democratic
remedy for this is to make things far
worse by desrtoying, under cover of
revising, the very system on which
I American industries have been built

are reckless of all warnings; who see UP and ehshed, and thereby mak
ortly their especial interests in the ing 11 far m0re difficult' ,f not imP0S
schemes of the hour and care for no
thing else so long as they are achiev
ed; to whom it is useless to plead fo
the abatement of public expenditures,
since public expenditure and private
gain are to them synonymous terms.
But to those who have the broader
concern of the general public at heart,
as well as their own particular share
in both the extravagance and econo
my of the day and place, we insist
upon urging the question that is used
as a caption hereto.
ROOSEVELT, THE POLITICIAN.
Whether it be right, or wrong, for
the President of the United States
to take deep interest and personal
part in the nomination and election
of his successor, is a finely drawn is-
sible, for the workless to get work,
The Republican plan is to revise the
tariff with due "regard for the protec
tion of American industrial interests
and with a view to help the workless
to get work, instead of making their
condition hopeless, as it would be
under the Bryan-Democratic scheme
of "a tariff for revenue only." Ameri
can worker which plan do you prefer?
In his campaign tour Gov. Hughes
will not give much attention to Ore
gon. The Republican opportunity in
this state, is well understood by in
telligent policitians.
Bryan's speeches of 1896 were not
canned nor preserved in phonogra
phic form, but their author was pick-
sue we are willing to leave to those A , ,. . . e ti .
. . . f . . 1 tablishments on Salt Creek,
who have the habit of solving the
delicate problems of the day. In the
rush of activities, as they confront us
and engage our interest, we have
no time to waste in weighing such
questions.
We have always contended that Mr.

Russia has planned a special agency
to study agriculture in this country,
which shows that the czar knows how
to make a wise selection after looking
over the field.
not surprised at his pronounced con
cern and participation in the cam
paign of his party and of his Fidus
Achates'; that he is cutting to the
very quick of the nerves and delicate
sensibilities of the Democratic charn-
pion, and keeping him interminably
and unsuccessfully, on the, defensive,
is but parcel of his equipment and
method. He' has a fashion of know
ing exactly what he is talking about
" that has staggered more men than
Mr. Bryan. He does not move until
he is certain of his premises, and to
this impregnable course he owes his
tremendous success in administrative
direction and establishment and his
political achievements.
It would seem, by this time, that
the country, and especially those
whose business it is to fight this man,
should know who and what they are
up against, 'first and last; and since
they will not learn the lesson as it
has been dealt out to others, they must
go in and take what is coming to
them, of their own volition. Roose
velt is no saint, no hide-bound model,
no impeccable, nor ultra, example of
manhood or citizenship; he is simply
an honest man in a place where his
honesty is apparent to all men, and
frightfully inconvenient to very many:
for in this day' of lax morality in pub
lic, and quasi-public, life, the honest
man is a fearsome thing; he is an un-
turn in time to participate in the in
auguration of the new- president and
to revive the popular interest in a
bigger and better navy.
Gov. Haskell is Mr. Bryan's na
tional treasurer, but not necessarily
slated now to be secretary of the trea
sury, in the Bryan cabinet. Mean
while, the farmers are still holding
back with their $100 bills.

Next to Ross, Higgins & Co.
There are many readers of the As
torian who are suffering frcm catarrh,
either nasal or bronchial. Many of
these despair of ever being cured.
They have soaked their stqmachs with
nostrums until they are disgusted witn
all medicines, and are now traveling
their miserable way, allowing the
devilish germs of catarrh to sap them
of their health, energy and vitality.
But let us reason together. T. F.
Laurin, the druggist, has a guaranteed
remedy for catarrh, and all inflamma
tory diseases of the nose, throat and
bronchial tubes. The name of this
remarkable remedy is Hyomei, and if
it doesn't cure T. F. Laurin will give
you your money back.
Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me)
is medicated air; you just brethe it
through the inhaler over the inflamed
and germ ridden membrane, and its
soothing antiseptic properties will
allay the inflammation, destroy the
germs, and restore the entire respi
ratory tract to its normal conditions.
A complete Hyomei outfit, includ
ing a hard rubber inhaler, costs, but
$1.00, and an extra bottle of Hyomei,
if afterwards needed, costs but 50
cents. See T. F. Laurin about it today.
A SURPRISED MINISTER.
Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh Af
ter he Had Given up in Despair.
"For many years I have been a suf
ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had
despaired of anything like a cure.
Judge of my pleasant surprise when I
first used Hyomei, which brought
complete relief. Hyomei has been a
veritable godsend." Rev. Charles
Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.
i
Because you have contracted ordi-1
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do
not for a moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows i
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumution is not caused by a cold
'but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development of
the germs that would not otherwise
have found lodgment. It is the same
with all infectious diseases. Diph
theria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more like
ly to be contracted when the child
has a cold. You will see from this
that more real danger lurks in a cold
than in any other of the common ail
ments. The easiest and quickest way
to cure a cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Rcenidy. The many re
markable cures effected by this prep--aration
have made it a staple article
of trade over a large part of the
world. For sale by Frank Hart and
leading druggists.
