The new conncil of whatsoever complexion and constituency it may be, will start the year 1909 with a de ficit of from $10,000 to $25,000. according to the measure of the car rent year's shortage on its appropria tions and acroal expenses. This is doe to the extravagance of the men who have been in power so long they have lost the art of reckoning and ac counting and providing honestly for the employment of the city's monies. Are these men to be placed back in the seats of authority and opportu nity. - Are these deficits to be inflamed and expanded and made the leaven for another huge and annihilative debt?. Are these deficits to be inflated and opportunity to -pile tip the public charges against this city, in the face of her inability to meet the engage ments she already struggles against?. Let every man in Astoria this day emphasize his desire to have this city ran with business circumspection and common sense thst actuates the man with a private business. There is limit to all debt, public as well as private. Astoria has reached her lim it and passed it. Shall she wantonly increase it, to her dishonor and ths peril of her credit at home and abroad?. If she is to be kept within bounds and rank among the safe and sane communities of the State, Samuel El more and the entire Republican tick et must be elected today!!!. MISTAKES WILL OCCUR EVEN IN THIS OFFICE CORRECTION MADE OF FIG URES EMPLOYED IN JUDGE TAYLOR'S LETTER. There is but one way to do this, and that is by voting the Republican ticket, from top to bottom, into place and power and compelling your own system and flatly demanding that your civic honor be retrieved and safe guarded from this time onl : You are up againt a crii we know this and appreciate your periL We have dene what we may to point out the way and to name the men jftuu iuat aim uiitiivua 111.1 j will compass your permanent and practical redemption; and today, we will do all that is left undone, by voting straight and strong for the men able and willing to do their whole duty by you; and against the agencies that have corrupted an! discredited you! MEN AND MEDIUMS. In the Morning Astorian's presen tation of the strong and interesting letter of Hon. F. J. Taylor, yesterday morning, there occurred one of those typographical errors that are always certain to occur exactly at the vital line of the vit3l paragraph of a vita! story; and it is desired that the figures so misquoted in this instance, may not be lost to the inquiring voter; hence, they are reproduced here and now, in the hope their sig nificance may "strike in" on the con science and interest of the voting population this day. The corrected table, is as follows: Municipal bonds (auditor's report) . $189,050.00 Street bonds (auditor's re- . port) . . 4,968.22 Warrants (auditor's report) 122.464 63 School district bonds 87,000,') Water Bonds 300,000.00 School district warrants... 16.000.03 County indebtedness, $150,- 000, 40 per cent of which will fall upon the taxable property of the city 60,000.00 Total liabilities for which area of city is liable $779,482.85 HERE'S TO YOU, ASTORIA! On this morning of one of the most vital of your days, old Astoria, we give you our best wishes for a happy issue from the snarl and danger that besets you! We will do all in our poor power to give you a government that shall spare you any further trep idation or doubt as to your future!. You are entitled to surcease from the endless schemes of debt-building that have wrought your tacit undoing! For political and civic destruction and salvation, at any time, and any where, men are but mediums, agen cies, the means to the end; and must be regarded, and used, as such for the good or hurt of the rest of us. If is up to us always to know the me diums we are using, and their efficacy for good or evil and knowing it, our duty is plain and simple. Astoria's attitude today, in both the civic and political lines, is one of de manding salvation from the curse of exploitation at the hands of a set of men who have already committed her to the point of financial ruin and who, themselves, are still committed to continuing the program upon a scale greater than ever before. The propo sition is clear; there is no ambiguity about it, no question, no dispute save from those who are pressing their claims for a chance to revel deeper in the wasteful and reckless slough they have "tramped out" in the past dozen years. The Republican ticket is, today, the medium of salvation and sense!. The 'Citizens' ticket is, today, the medium of spoliation and loss!. She will be here when we are all dead and it is up to us to leave her clean and safe, and sound, in every sense of the terms, to those who must pick up our burdens after we are gone. It is our square and honest du ty to vote for the good of Astoria first .and in infinitely more imperative than any man's aspirations for mere office. The Republican ticket stands, to day, for the real good of Astoria!!. The 'Citizens' ticket stands, today, for the certain evil of Astoria!!!. HAWKING MACHINES ASTORIA COMES FIRST L Astoria and her future safety take precedence, to-day, Mr. Voter!!. The city comes before any man or set of men, with you, today!!!. AT THE .... BAKERONIAN ....

Breathe it in and it will cure catarrh. It will stop foul breath, watery eyes, and crusts inthe nose, in a few days. It is guaranteed by T. F. Laurin to do it or money back, and such a guarantee ought to be strong enough for anybody.

Two of our worthy cititens, hom, for the reason that we do not want to be personal, we will call Smith and Jones, had a wordy contest on the street the other day. Smith is very prud of his wisdom in management of hi affairs on the farm in keeping everything up-to-date, and he never tire of telling hi friends about it. Yesterday he met Jones and began to indulge in his fa write topic. His neighbor Jones cut him short and took him by surprise by saying, "See here, Smith, you make me very tired. You are continually bragging about your good business management and judgment, but I think you are the worst manager and have the poorest judgment of any man I know of." Before he could recover from his surprise, Jones continued: ou are continually bragging about keeping everything up-to-date. I just advise you some day to go into your kitchen and take a look at that oi l rack of a stove your wife is using. It is burning twice the furl necessary, and is wearing out her life and nerves trying to get along with something that belongs to the 18th century. 'ou kick when your meals are not ready, or because the bread and bis cuits are burned, but if yoo. woulj just let a little of your good business economy and fine management you talk about reach to your kitchen, you would buy one of those latest South Bend Malleable. I will bet you J new hat. Smith, you would not talk to me any more about a disordered stomach or late dinners and such like, and you would find your wife would have a smile that would never come off, the genuine Malleable South Bend smile. "I would advise you to take in th exhibit at Foard & Stokes Hardware Company. The South Bend man is there and will tell you more about his range in five minutes that I could in an hour. It's all right. Smith, take my word for it. If you are good, they will give you some of their hot bis cuits and coffee and a beautiful little cook book and useful souvenir to take home to your wife."

Beware of Frequent Cold. A succession of cold or' a pro tracted cold is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh, from which few persons ever wholly recover. Give every cold the attention it deserves and you may avoid this disagreeable disease. How can you cure a cold? Why not try Chamberlain' Cough Remedy? It is highly recommend ed. Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn., says: "Several year ago I was bothered with my throat and lungs. Someone told me" of Chamberlain' Cough Remedy. I began using it and it relieved me at once. Now my throat and lungs are sound and well." For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. PROMINENT MERCHANT DEAD CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Fredcrick A.
