THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
The ipessage of the mayor and
the reports of the other officials show
a healthy state of city finances so far as
the past year is concerned. The de
crease in the running expenses over
the twelve months previous is near
ly fifty per cent, while the revenues
have been increased. It is true that
no occasion has arisen for any great
expenditure of money, and the out
lay represents the ordinary expenses
of the city government. Satisfactory
as the past year has been, it is too
soon for congratulations upon our
condition. - The words of Mayor
Menefee are timely when he says:
"We should watch that our income
does not shrink by any lack of care
fulness on the part of our officers,
and that our monthly expenditures
are not allowed to increase. It
would be very easy for expenses to
creep on us again."
The several problems suggested in
the mayor's message are important
ones. The questions of sewerage,
of street improvements, lighting, and
41 .3 f r i .
tut: auequacy oi our me department,
must be discussed and settled with
wisdom. ; The ' council may have
some difficulty in meeting the de
mands from some of these quarters
without increasing taxation, but we
believe it can be done. The people
are not in a humor to submit to
higher taxation, and whatever is
decided upon, this consideration
should be kept in miiid.
It needs but little play of the im
agination to picture what evils
would follow an adoption of the
principles advocated by the Popu
lists or those about to l)e promul
gated by the Chicago convention.
The destruction of the national
credit wculd involve disaster to all
kinds of private enterprise. The
complications entering into the
Oiegon election last June where
by the vote between the-Republican
and Populists were very close, gave
our state some unenviable notoriety
in the East, as this comment, taken
from an Eastern journal will show:
A Democratic paper in Connecti
cut says the West is indebted to that
state to the extent ot $100,000,000
and that Connecticut capitalists have
reached the conclusion not to lend
any more money in the same quarter
unless the words "interest and prin
cipal payable in gold" are printed in
the contract. The lurch of Oregon
toward the Populists will make .in
vestors shy of anything offered there
for some time, to come.
The officers chosen at the late
election have assumed their duties
and the city has passed under a new
regime. The council of last year
made a very creditable record tow
ards reducing municipal expenses,
and the people desire a continuation
of the policy of retrenchment. The
Dalles has an indebtedness far in ex
cess of what it should be. The time has
come ' whftn t.llA inrvoso ra n ta
longer go on, but every year must
see a material decease. We do not
advocate a gingerly administration,
but we believe that it were best to
be on the side of economy than of
extravagance. The council should
keep in mind that the people want to
see the pruning shears applied at
every possible point.
Bland for president and Harvey
better known as -'Coin" for vice
president, is one of the tickets sug
gested for the Chicago convention.
Such a combination would be the
logical result of the convention's
views. Bland is one of the pioneers
of the silver cause, and Harvey
achieved notoriety through the sale
of his "Coia's Financial School.
Neither is a statesman in the most
ordinary use of the term, but both
represent the sentiment of the Dem
ocratic party.
Walla Walla, Pendleton, Golden
dale and Moro all had successful
Fourth of July celebrations. The
Dalles was missing from the list for
no assignable reason. Next year
steps should be taken far enough in
advance to secure a rousing cele
bration.
Balaklava is to be repeated at Chi
cago. The gold men are leading1 a
forlorn hope, and the result, figura
tively speaking, will be as disastrous
as the charge of the six hundred.
BUDS, Society
buds, young wo
men just entering
the doors of soci
ety or woman
hood, require the
wisest care. To
be beautiful and
charming- they
must have perfect
health, with all it
implies a clear
skid, rosy eneejes,
bright eyes and
'good spirits. At
this period the
youngs woman is
especially sensi
tive, and many
nervous troubles,
which continue
through life, have
their origin at this
time. It there be
pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of medicine should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv
ine at this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe
cially indicated for those delicate weak
nesses and derangements that afflict wo
menkind at one period or another. You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully
used the "Prescription" is the picture of
health, she looks well and she feels well.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis
placements common to women, where there
are symptoms of backache,- dizziness or
fainting, bearing down sensations, disor
dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc.,
the trouble is surely dispelled and the
Buflerer brought back to health and good
spinis.

be without it, if procurable. G. A.
Dykeman Druggist, Catskill, N. Y.,eays
that Dr. Kings New Discovery is un
doubtedly the best coogh remedy ; that
he has used it in his family for eight
years, and it has never failed to do all
that is claimed for it. Why -not try a

It's an old saying ''The proof of the
padding is in the eating of it." And it
is because people have taken Simmons
Liver Regulator that they know it to be
a most excellent medicine and especially
for the Spring and Fall when there is so
much Malaria in the air. Mr. W T. Lee,
of Pendleton, N. C. says, "I have used
Simmons Liver Regulator for twenty
yeare, in place of calomel and quinine."
