tfm-; &) lw gatly gustowatt. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY.. -MAY 10, 1889. KINDLY MEANT. The Oregonian disclaims knowl edge of any one in Portland who wouldn't be glad to see a railroad con structed to Astoria, and expresses preference for the river as furnishing in the hot season a more enjoyable route from Portland this way. It further declares that the remark ,"the malaria-soaked inhabitants of- the interior ' is "a rhetorical expression," "designed as an invitation or exhor tation" to those thus unfortunately afflicted to come here and spend their money. It also believes that we are in error "in supposing that any rail road couldofler as many attractions or as cheap fares as the great Colum bia." Possibly not, to the inhabitants of Portland, but to those who live south of there, and who without n railroad are compelled to go to Portland to get on the great Columbia, it is believed a direct road across one side of the triangle instead of following two sides to the same objective point would be an appreciated convenience. In geometry as in argument, a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. The rhetorical attributes of the article which has elicited pleasant criticism from the Oregonian, are believed to be secondary to the truth of the statements, but we hasten to disavow the sordid intent ascribed to us by our esteemed metropolitan brother. The remark about the malaria soaked inhabitants of the interior, was not designed as a suggestion to Portland residents to reduce their surplus, but rather in the interests of sanitary science, by gently directing attention to their confessedly deplor able condition, and still more gently suggesting pleasant and adequate alle viation of their manifest miseries. Sidney Smith once anathematized a gentleman who had spoken disrespect fully of the equator. Far be it from us to be wanting in proper respect to the great Colunbia, or the majestic Mr. Mood, auu we have profound re gard for the Willamette and other geographic.il peculiarities. But while recognizing the superi onty or boats xver railway cars in the hot season, and while regretting the unfortunate combination of thermal vagaries with humidity that makes the remark "the malaria soaked inhabitants of the interior5 an atmospheric fact, we believe that the large number of people outside of Portland and yet within tho circle comprised by that indefinite word "interior," would find use and oppor tunity in a railroad to the sea. As for summer visitors we welcome the coming and speed the parting guests; glad to see them and sorry they can't stay longer; rejoice to note the wan and sallow visage again bloom with the flush of health born of cool and sleepful nights; and would gladly extend the privilege to those of the "malaria-soaked interior" who do not enjoy the boon of easy access to the great Columbia and who must per force wait for a railroad to Astoria, or suffer a joyless journey to the pleasant city on the Willamette in whose pride and prosperity we heartily rejoice. . . The decision of tho supremo court of the United States confirming the val idity of the Scott exclusion act, is of great importance to this coast. It ex cludes Chinese laborers, and under this decision, no matter if a Chinese laborer has a return certificate, he can not return and enter this country. A Minnesota man has set up a bear ranch, where he feeds cornnieal to the bears he traps just as he would do hog3 till they are in prime condi tion, when he slaughters them, and, beside selling the meat at high figures, gets a good many dollars for each of the pelts. The Tide is Turning. When the tide is running out it looks as if it would always run one way, but nothing is more certain than that it will turn and run in again; and so it is with commercial tides. For two or three years it has been ebb tide, but the signs are accumulat ing that 1889 is going to be a good uusmess year. American Urocer. A Scrap ofaper Saves Jttcr life It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap- iJiuB paper, duc it saved ner lire, sne was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incura ble and could live only a short time; she weighed Ies than seventy pounds. na piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a larger bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds. For fuller particulars send stamp to W. H. Cole, Druggist, Fort Smith. Trial Bottles of this wonderful Discovery Free at J. W. Conn's Drug store.

A Cabd to the Public: I feel that I would not be doing my -duty to wo man kind if I did not let them know how badly afflicted I have been and how and where to be cured. Ten years ago 1 was taken with painful menstru ation, and I have been troubled that way since that time, accompanied with troubles in every conceivable way. About three months ago the climax came, and I was prostrated with pain inrongn tne neart, chest and lungs, and confined to my bed from ex cessive hemorrhage or flowing. After nine doctors of different schools of practice gave me tip, I applied to Dr. .uarnn, ana ne nas cured me so 1 can walk from my residence to his office. I am overjoyed with the result of the cure. Mrs. E. A. Ahlf. The followine tribute to the rift and skill of Drs. Darrin is a remarkable instance of a generous impulse worked out against professional prejudice, ana is wormy or recerd: Uabd to the i'TOLic. I have for the past two years been afflicted with chronic pericarditis, accompanied with great pain around the heart all that time, with excessive circulation, sleep less nights, fear and distress. I was unable to attend to the duties of my proiession. i had exhausted my knowledge of medicine, as also that of my colleagues, and found no relief until coming under the electromagnet ic treatment of Drs. Darrin. A little more than a month elapsed since I received this treatment, and I can truthfully say that I am cured. I have none of my former trouble, and wish thu8 to give my personal experience in the in terest of humanity. I have been a practicing physician fourteen years, and am well known in this city and Marshfield, Oregon. I deem it but justice to the public and to Drs. Darrin to write the above. Dnv Steele. THE DOCTORS PLACE OF BUSINESS. Drs Darrin can be consulted free at the Occident hotel, Astoria, Oregon, and will under no circumstances take a case they cannot cure or benefit. Consultation free. Charges reason able. The poor treated free from 9 to 10 A. m. daily. Office hours from 10 to 4 daily; evenings 7 to 8; Sunday, 10 to 12. All curable chronic diseases loss of man hood, blood taints, syphilis, gleet, gonorrhea, stricture, spermatorrhea, seminal weakness or loss of desire of sexual power in man or woman, catarrh on deafness are confidentially and successfully treated. Cure of private diseases guaranteed and never published in the papers. Most cases can receive home treatment after a visit to the doctor's office. Inquiries answered and circulars sent free. The Intelligent Florida Voter. Some queer answers were elicited during an examination of witnesses in a contested election case in Florida. "Who was the Republican candidate for congress in this district?" was asked. Answer "I don't know." "Would you know tho name if men tioned?" "Yes, sir." "Was it Robert Ingersoll?" "Yes, sir. dat's de man." "Well, who was tho Democratic can didate?" "I don't know, sir." "Was it John Sherman?" "Yes, sir, dat's de very man." Well, what is congress?" "1 don t know, sir." "is it a man or a woman?" "I think it is a woman. "What kind of a woman?" "A black woman." HE FOLLOWED SUIT.. My wife has been under physicians care for two years, for what they called "liver complaint." She would get some relief while takius prescriptions, tr would soon fall back into the same drowsy, inactive state. 1 1 got her a botlle of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. It did hei immediate good, and when three bottle had been taken she regained her old ac: customcdhealth and spiritsand is now"as well as ever. I used it for rheumatism with the result that I am now entirely free from the disease with which I had suffer- ednyear- gh??aisc 735 Tur'strcet, San Francisco. NEW TO-DAY.
