Unnecessary Misery. Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason tbat no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed.

EXPLOSION IN FRANCE. Lyons, Feb. 9. Two bombs simul taneously exploded in front of the po lice headquarters office to-day. The bombs struck against the railway and were thus prevented from exploding with force against the building. At St Etterino, 32 miles southwest of Lyons, a bomb was thrown at a po lice station and exploded ontsido of the office, but with such fury that three officers within the builing were seriously injured. Eight men were arrested. 8 AID TO BE AN EMBEZZLER. Boston, Fob. 9. John O.

Except for. a cumber of 'longshoremen standing idle on the comers of the streets along the river fronts, the quays have assumed for the most part their nor mal appearance, though it requires a larger number of men to do the work than formerly. The steamboat, rail road and pier managers claim -that their business is as good as before the strike; that freight is being moved with the utmost facility. The steam ers now leave on the advertised time, An adjourned council meeting was held last evening, the subject of tb.8 meeting being to decide on the man ner of lighting the streets for the year, the present contract expiring on the 19 tu mst. , Councilman Cleveland moved that the counoii go into a committee of the whole to consider the matter of lighting the streets. The several bids (which ware pub lished in yesterday's issue) were re read. - Upon reassembling, Councilman Bergman reported that the committee recommended to give the Electric Light Co. eight lights to be disposed throughout the oity in such manner as may hereafter be decided, and the remainder of the lights be given to the Astoria Gaslight Co., to be lighted with gas and oil as at present. On motion, the report of the committee was adopted. The city attorney, in response to an inquiry, stated that to make action valid, the committee should be au thorized Uy ordinance to make con tract. It was thereupon decided to meet on the 16th, to pass such ordin ance, and in the meantime the sites for the electric lights to be selected. The council then adjourned to meet on the 16th inst. CURRENT CONTEMPORARY COMMENT. Say, for the sake of argument that we were at war with England and the English fleet had secured the services of some man who had recent ly been a pilot or a fisherman on the bar: an ironclad Bhip could run by Fort Stevens and Capo Hancock with very little danger from the land bat teries, aud, once past them, could lay Portland and Astoria under tribnte lor any amount Nor would the trouble stop at the capture ot Port land and Astoria. The capture of this city would throw into their hands three lines of railroad and all the tel egraph lines, which would enable them to transport land forces into Idaho. Utah and Montana, if they so desired. Every branch of trade would be paralyzed, and every source of wealth laid under tribute to the in vading forces. Sunday Mercury.

The more railroads the better, and all such should ba enoouraged, Sun day Welcome. It is very iraportaut to the people of eastern Oregon that the bill au thorizing the lease of the O. R. & N.

Editob Astebiak: Sib: I see that your paper along with others, notably the Oregonian, advocates the passage of the bill now before the Oregon legislature, en. abling the U. P. R. R., to lease the O. R. & N. I am not sure that any of tho stockholders in the Oregonian are stockholders in the O. R. & N. Co., who would like to make sure of that 6 per cent. At any rate, I fail to see the harm co the state should the bill not pass. We shall try to see what dire results should follow by suppos ing that tho bill don't pass. Will the Oregon Short Line "pull up stakes" in disgust and do no more business with Oregon, leaving us to the mercy of the N. P. R., the C. P. R. the S. P. R.? For it won't -be long before the Southern and Central Paoifio have through connection with Oregon. Now, my humble opinion is that the state should allow those two corpor ations to settle it between them selves. If they oan't make it con venient for shippers, theirs be the loss tot the shipper; and if it should come to an open rupture between those two, it shall be to Oregon's ben efit, for then the Oregon Short Line will have to be fiuisbed (ai it ought to be) to Portland or the sea Astoria It seems a plain case tbat the O.

When the Republicans talk about a chance of getting back into power in 1833, do they ever think ot the records they are making in the nom ination of money-bags for governors and the election of check-books to the United States senate? New York World. The dispute with Canada over the fisheries has caused a good deal of unofficial bad blood between the two countries. Our government will not submit to any permanent policy opposed to tne interests ot numanuy. We may be deficient in naval strength and coast defences, but we have hearts of oak that are better than all the man-made maohinery of war, and while England might strike our coasts, we would crush Canada likoabhell.

I think those corporations, in an illegitimate way, occupy too much time both in our state and national legislatures. T.M. Free Trade. The reduotion of internal revenue and the taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the con sumers, as well as relieving the bur den of home Manufacturers. Especial ly is this the case with Green's August Flower and Boschee's Ger man Syrup, as the reduotion of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of tho bott ties containing $hese remedies, there by giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, tho largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of in creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town nnd village in civilized countries.

The junketing tour of certain mem bers of the Oregon legislature over the line of tho Oregon Pacific railway is a disgrace to all who participated, in it, and should mark the partici pants as men whom it would be well to watch.
