ASTOEIA. OREGON:
SUNDAY
JUNE 19. 18S7
Raitroad whispers are fre
quently heard in these parts now
adays, but whether or not they
emanate from railroad authorities
is something "no fellow can find
out." There is 'always a certain
degree of mystery about the
-anonymous whispers, however,
and perhaps the problem will not
admit of further solutionat present.
The Omaha Herald of June 5
claims the largest single edition is
sued by any newspaper in the
United States. It is filled with
facts and statistics about Nebraska,
Omaha and cities near by. The
paper comprises 48 pages, with
more than one-half covered by ad
vertisements. One copy of the
paper weighs 12A- ounces.
Some oxe has asked the Baker
City Democrat what is the salary
of the governor of Oregon, to
gether with the fees of the office.
The salary of the governor of Ore-n-on
is 1,500 per year, and besides
this he is paid $200 per year as
ohairman of the board of visitors
to the penitentiary, and $100 per
year as chairman of the board of
asylum commissioners. This
makes 1,800 in all, and this is the
full amount the governor is allowed
from the state. There are a num
ber of men in Oregon who receive
larger salaries than the governor
of the state.
Tub American is the name of a
new publication at San Francisco
which takes for its text the idea
that "the Democratic and Repub
lican parties are dead; that both
factions are incorrigibly corrupt,
and that the hope of the nation is
in a broad American party, which
shall include the best elements
alike of our native-born and for
eign population." In our opinion
the hope of this nation is in
education, clear perception of pub
lic and private rights, and upon
the perpetuation of a policy of
protection to our best principles
and interests, with all that that in
cludes. A London journal recently of
fered a prize of 2 2s. for a rea
sonable solution of "What be
comes of the Dins?" The follow
ing reply captured the prize: "A
surface of ten miles square con
tains 310,000,000 square yards.
Assnme this as the area of Lon
don. To include the area of floor
surface in houses, it may safely
be trebled, say 1,000,000,000
square yards. If every five square
yards contained one stray pin, who
would be aware of it? Here, then,
we have in London alone a recep
tacle for 200,OO0,Q00 of stray pins
unperceived by anybody. The
answer, therefore, is that thousands
of millions of lost pins can be, and
are, scattered about the land un
noticed. Half of these, being out
of doors, are gradually destroyed
by ru3t; the other half pass out of
doors by degrees."
Tiiere are indications that in
the next general election the
smaller parties will act in such a
way as to worry the managers of
the two great political parties.
This is particularly the case in
New York, which is still a pivotal
state, and the most important
factor in all political calculations.
The prohibitionists are thoroughly
dissatisfied with the course of both
of the great parties in that
state in reference to the liquor
question." They are fully
determined to run candidates
of their own, and they be
lieve that they will poll a much
larger vote than at the last elec
tion in the sfate. Still more im
portant than the attitude of the
prohibitionists is that of the labor
party. - There is some probability
that the labor men will run a pres
idential candidate of their
own next year. They are
greatly .encouraged by the large
vote polled for George in the
mayoralty canvass last year, and
they my4take the step of present
ing a presidential candidate as a'
means of consolidating the labor
vote. The entrance of this factor
in thn political field would compli
cate very much the calculations of
the older political managers. The
prohibitionist vote may be approx
imately estimated upon the basis
of the votes of the last few years,
and the managers of the older par
ties have learned to make allow
ances for it. With the labor vote
the case is different. Nobody
knows what its size will be, and it
is not known with any approach to
definiteness what proportion of it
will be drawn from each of the old
parties. It is probable, However,
that if the labor men decide to show
their strength the vote polled will
be a large one large enough, per
haps, to determine the result of
the election, at least in New Yore
state.
A Sound legal Opinion.

1 SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR
For all Diseases of the
liver, Kidneys, Stomach and Spleen.
This purely vegetable pre-,
paration, now so celebrated as a
Family Medicine, originated in
the South in 1828. It acts
f-ently oa the Bowels and
Udneys and corrects the
action of the Liver, and is, there
fore, the best preparatory
inediclne, whatever the sick
ness may prove to be. In all
common diseases it will, un
assisted by any other medi
cine, effect a speedy cure.
The Keculator is safe to administer in any
condition o? the system, and under no circum
stances can it do harm. It will invigorate
like a glass of wine, but is no intoxicating bever
age to lead to intemperance ; win promote di
gestion, dissipate headache, and gener
ally tone up the system. The dose is small,
not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted.
Kb loss of time, no Inter
ruption or stoppage of
business while talcing the
Regulator.
Children complaining of
Colic, Headache, or Sick
Stomach, a teaspoonful or
more will give relief.
If taken occasionally by pa
tients exposed to MALARIA,
will expel the poison and protect
them from attack.
A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION'.
I have been practicing medicine for twenty years,
and have never been able to put up.a vegetable
compound that would, IiVe Simmons Liver Regu
lator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to
action, and at the same time aid (instead of weak
ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the
system. L. M. Hinton, M. D., Washington, Ark.
