ASTORIA. OREGON:
SATURDAY.
--AUGUST 25. 1S88.
Hexrt George and Col. Ingersoll
are going to jointly debate protection
and free trade in New York.
It is stated with some degree of
positiveness that the San Francisco
Examiner will establish a daily
newspaper in Portland. The matter
appears to be improbable, for to
successfully establish a first class
newspaper there would cost half a
million dollars.
Sir Robert Hall, Irish astrono
mer royal, has been searching his old
almanacs and now comes out with the
startling news that the poet who made
himself famous by his obituary no.
tice of Sir John Moore was all off in
his facts; that the moon was not vis
sible on the night of the burial, and
the line, "By the struggling moon
beam's misty light" is, therefore, de
void of scientific accuracy. Sir Rob
ert might be in better business than
going back in to the dim past for ob
loquy to throw on a dead poet who
didn't make any too much out of his
poem, at best, his very name being a
matter of dispute. What does a poet
want with scientific accuracy, any
way? If scientific accuracy is a nec
essary ingredient of poesy, a table of
logarithms con tains most of the essen
tials. It scans well, and will stand
the test of actual demonstration. All
it lacks is the imaginative quality;
and as, on the other hand, imagina
tive 'poetry "wou't prove," the two are
about even. Beside all this, Mr.
Wolfe or Mr. Mackintosh or whatever
his name was, probably knew there
was no moon, nud wrote it "missed-y
light" and it is, as usual, the printer
who is to blame.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many Beera now to be af
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago tue worn Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
laDgnage, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
onr forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure, we recommend (ireen a Au
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
volous.
Salmon Fishln nt Yaqnina.
Salmon fishing has been in pro
gress at Yaqnina about a week, but
the run has not fairly commenced
yet, as no more are caught thpn
can supply tho demand for ship
ping purposes while fresh. A gen
tleman who 'has returned from
Siuslaw informs the Eugene Guard
lhat fishing begau on the Siuslaw
last Sunday. The catch on that
night was light. Monday '200, and
Tuesday 70. The fish are large and
in fine condition. Only eight boats
were employed. The amount of
fish furnished thus- far is not
enough to supply the cannery nnd
the cannery men aro dissatisfied. The
resident fishermen have formed a
union to the number of 100, and will
not allow outside fishermen to fish,
and as only a few of them are ready
to commence, sufficient fish aro not
furnished to keep the cannery run
ning. Forty cents each are paidj for
the large fish. The season on" the
Siuslaw continues until about the
first of November, but the first fish
caught are much the best.
The Verdict Unanimous.
W.D. Suit, Druggist. Hippus. 1ml.,
testifies: "J can recommend hkvtrie
Hitters as the very best rcmeilj . K i-ry
liottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and waseureil
ot Rheumatism of 10 ears' standing."
Abraham Hare, tlnicgist, Rellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best .selling medi
cine I have ever handled in my 20 years'
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others have added their testi
mony, so that the erdict is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cine diseases of
the Liver, Kidneys or Wood. Only a

A "PKOGKESSITE CLUB."
Which Has Sot Yet Progressed Terr Fr.
(S. F. Chronicle. 18.)
Among the meeting notices in jester
day'a Chronicle was one purporting to
emanatofrom "The Progressive Clnb.'iin
which all and sundry, "rich and poor,"
wero invited to attend Irish-American
nail last evening to hear "a workingman"
deliver an address on tho political issues
of the day.
At the hour mentioned for "the work
ingman" to begin his discourse a Chron
icle reporter entered the large hall of the
building and was astonished to find only
three persons present. One of these, a
blonde-bearded man with a Teutonic cast
of features, proved subsequently to be
the horny-handed aye, and horny
cheeked convener of the meeting. The
other two were ladies one a pianist,
hired to enliven the proceedings with
popular airs, and the other appeared to
combine all the minor offices of the "Pro
gressive Club."
As the workingman descended the
stairs, presumably to ascertain why the
"rich and poor" were not rolling up, the
reporter sped after Uim, and wheD the
outer door was reached the representative
of labor gazed up and down the street
with longing eyes. A shade of disap
pointment passed over his features at the
loneliness of the scene and he stroked his
beard in a meditative manner.
Approaching him, the reporter asked:
"Are you connected with the Progres
sive Club?"
"Well-er-yes, or rather I might say I
will bo. You see," he added, in a confi
dential manner as he slipped into the
shade of the building, "the Progressive
Club is not formed yet. I am here to or
ganize it to-night, but-er-the prospects at
present are rather disheartening."
"They are rather," acquiesced the re
porter in sympathetic tones, "but you
havo the Mechanics' Fair and several
minor attractions to draw tho people
away. What, may I ask, aro or will be
the objects of the club?"
"To educate the people up to the pres
ent political issues. Then we will have
music and sociability."
"Who, besides yourself, are promoters
of tho affair?"
At this question the 'workingman"
grew doubly confidential nud communi
cative. "I am employed," ho said, "by the
Oregon Democracy to organize; tho club
here. Wo have a similar club in Astoria,
Or., and as I am an active worker in it I
was selected to work San Francisco."
"Is it a labor of lovo with you?"
"Oh, no; they give me so much money,
but not enough to pay for hall rent, ban
ners, etc I am afraid that I will be out
of pocket by to-night's venture."
"l'ou intended then to tako up a col
lection?" "Of course," responded tho "working
man" with alacrity, while a "well-I-should-smile
look" stole over his feat
ures. "I intend, however," he added in
a still lower voice, "doing it in a neat
manner."
"In what respect?"
"Well," he added smilingly, "I will an
nounce that any one desiring to join tho
Progressive Club will write his name on
some blanks which I will have distribu
ted by a boy. As the lad passes round I
will tell those who are writing their
names that money is required to defray
expenses, and the boy has authority to
receive subscriptions. Do you see?"
"Very good idea," acquiesced the re
porter. "Yes," added the Oregonian, sorrow
fully, "and I reckoned on collecting 50
to-night. You would hardly believe the
expense there is attached to this thing.
That flag you saw up on tho stage cost
SIS, and then there are the banners, etc.
Besides, I had a wagon all day going
around advertising the meeting. I had
to pay for that, as well as the Japanese I
had with it banging the gong."
"What was your idea of having a
Japanese"
"I will explain tho point to you. I
wanted a Chinaman, but I could not get
one. The idea, you see, was to let the
people know that unless they attend to
business the Chinese will be on top soon."
"It was an astute Chinese, then, that
refused tho position of gong-beater.
Wouldn't it havo been rather roueh for
the Japaneso if the public had seen the
point ana thrown rocks at nimr
"Well, I didn't expect them to see the
unit of tho tning until 1 explained it in
my speech to-night. By that, you see, I
would make a double point."
"I understand perfectly, but as you re
marked a while ago I don't think yon
will havo many people to explain things
to."
"No. indeed." said tho werkmeman:
"but what do you say if we go up and sit
in tho hall. It will take that empty ap
pearance off it and besides others may
drop in."
Ine reporter made some evasive reply,
and in order to irolone the interesting
conversation said: "You aro a Democrat,
of course?''
"1 am a social Democrat.''
"Not a socialist, are you'."'
"Not exactly, but 1 believe in the peo
ple all tho time. They should govern and
have all the machines."
"Political machines, do you mean?"
"No; factories and all that kind of
thing, I believe that where a factory
machine is worked by 400 people, say the
government should buy the machine and
mm ii over 10 -iuu wommen to oe opera
ted for their mutual benefit."
"The factory proprietors would prob
ably object," remarked the reporter. "Do
you believe in protection?"
"JMotat all," replied tue man froinUre
gon, "and let me tell jou that I can
knock them all out when I start arguing
against protection. That's my strong
point,- you bet. I have spoken before
thousands in Astoria and Portland and I
am going there to speak again."
ine speaker at this juncture grew im
patient and spoke bitterly of a Demo
cratic journa ltbat had promised to send
a short-hand reporter around to the
meeting to "whoop things up." "If the
papers only 'whoop things up,' " he said,
1 think a club can be formed here. I had
letters of introduction to English and all
the big Democrats, but if I get a start I
think I can manage myself."
Just hero another reporter appeared,
He commenced to question the "working
man" much in the same manner as the
Chronicle reporter haddone, but, strange
to say, the answers elicited were entirely
different.
The "workincman." who. bv tho wav.
gave tho name of H. Warmbold, stated
mnrno wesnot employed by any politi
cal party, but rather bv three trades
unions in Oregon to come nnd work tho
people up to the exigencies of the politi
cal situation. He displayed threo dimin
utive metal badges on his breast, one of
which, he stated, was the symbol of tho
Fisherman's Union of Astoria, of which
he claimed to bo a member. The objects
of the club, he said, were to have debates
on political questions without the princi
ples of any particular party being in
dorsed. The chance in front convinced the
Clironlclc reporter that the workingman
had been in the dark as to his identity
during the conversation which thoy held;
and as by this time ten men nnd two of
the opposite sex had "assembled" in the
lecture hall, the reporter ascended the
stairs wnitner tue iTogreasive uiub or
ganizer had already gone.
Warmbold soon mads his appearance
on the stage from a side room and re
quested the pianist to "play something."
When the sounds of the instrument had
died away ho addressed tho few present.
His speech, or whatever it may bo termed,
was a meaningless harangue, the only
clear point in it beinc that the "working
man" did not believe in protection, but
could not stato his reasons.
As he progressed his hearers deserted
him one by one, and, although an occa
sional listener would drop in, those con
stantly passing out kept the total num
ber in the room from being above nine at
any one time.
Finally tho sneaker took up a packet of
blanks and commenced to "talk busi
ness." "A boy will pass around with
these," he said, "and whoever wishes to
become a member of the club will write
his name." .
"What are the objects of the club?"
asked some one in the audience as four
persons rose and left in a body.
To debate on political issues and have
sociable times." replied the workingman.
"What are you for, protection or free
trade?" asked an Irishman.
"I will take no part in the discussions,"
said the speaker, while the Chronicle re
porter remembering their conversation
gasped at his effrontery.
"Is there any one here who wishes to
join?" continued the workingman. "I
would like some gentleman to come up
nnd be president and then we will or
ganize." A burly 'longshoreman rose from his
seat, and the speaker looked expectantly
toward him, but the water-front laborer
passed down stairs.
"If no one comes up we can't organize,"
remarked Warmbold with a tinee of sad
ness in his voice. "Of course to-night's
expenses are paid lor irom uregon, but
money must be collected to carry on."
"Where are your credentials?" asked a
person present.
" What credentials?" casped Warmbold.
"Why from the Oregon Progressive
uiuo, or wnoever authorized you to or
ganize a club here."
"Oh, I tore them up. I did not think I
would need them."
"Are there many members in the Ore
gon Progressive Club?" continued the
questioner.
"Not many." replied the speaker.
"And yet," continued the inquirer,
"they could send you here and pay your
expenses. They must have plenty of
money."
"They have plenty of money," replied
Warmbold, mechanically, and then turn
ing to the pianist he said, "I would like a
rest; play something."
The lady pianist rattled off "Bouian
ger's March," to the music of which
three of the remaining few trooped down
stairs.
Meanwhile Warmbold sat mopping the
iierspiration Irom his brow with n grimy
looking pocket handkerchief. As the
music ceased and the "audience" rose to
depart, he said, in hollow, hopeless tenes:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this meeting is
dismissed."
"That fellow didn't havo much of a
house," said the janitor, as the reporter
passed him at the hall door. "He told
me he had sacks of gold that high (illus
trating;, and mat be intended to engage
every hall south of Market street and play
up between now and November."
"Did he pay you for the hall?"
"Betcher life he did, before the gas was
lit. There's no flies on rae."
