CZD ataSMBHHSaMflSHSHSMa fa guilt fjtotfan. ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY JULY 18, 1SS9. HARrEB's "Weekly, that good Dem ocratic journal, is especially bitter against President Harrison because lie doesn't lmrry, and in the next column complains that he does hurry. The "man milliner" ivho edits Harper's Weekly is getting more and more in consistent in his old age and is de generating into a common scold. His editorials are not criticism, for criti cism requires intelligence. They are simply snarls. Tiie prophetic utterance of Pro fessor Brackett, of Princeton college, in his address to the Electrical club, of New York, last fall: "Notwithstand ing the fact that in New York it is the law that all persons convicted of offenses that are punishable by death are hereafter to be executed by elec tricity, my belief is that never a single man will die, except by accident, by that method," seems likely to be veri fied. All the electricians of New York are now asking to have the new exe cution law declared unconstitutional. The legality of the sentence passed upon the murderer William Kemmler, who was to have been the first exe cuted by electricity, has been disputed on the ground that the punishment is cruel. Evidence will be taken before a referee, and persons interested in electricity are now eagerly awaiting the result of the case and the evidence taken. Tiie attention of our Democratic brethren who believe in swivel service reform is gently directed to the case of John Swett. He is the father of the common school system of Cali fernia: he is a foremost educator of national renewn: books of which he is the author are translated into for eign tongues because of their excel lency. He is one of San Francisco's honored citizens, and a great edu cator. The Democratic board of edu cation has given him the grand bounce, cut off his head, and given his position to a lady, the wife of a gentleman to whom the Dem ocratic ooara or education is under obligations for valuable political services rendered. Swett's scalp hangs at Boss Buckley's girdle. In the meantime San Francisco Dem ocrats beat their breasts and foam at the mouth in fuming fury over Presi dent Harrison's federal appointments, Is it right, oh men and brethren, to bring politics into schoels: to dis charge tried and faithful men to make room for iolitical favorites? Or is snivel service reform something for Democrats to solely preach and Re publicans to solely practice? HE SENT IT K.VST. For a year I was troubled with pains in my back and side, and headaches the re sult of liver and kidney trouble. I was attracted to Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilln, by the startling testimonials in the pa pers. They seemed so practical I was in duced to try it, knowing that as it was purely vegetable, it would do no harm. It acted as a gentle laxative. After the second bottle my pains and aches disap peared. It did so much for me that I sent several bottles to my family in New Jersey, who also took it with the most satisfactory results.

Kilrain ar rived in Baltimore yesterday and lias entirely recovered the effects or his recent battle with Sullivan. He does not show a mark of any kind. Kil rain said he was whipped squarely, but he thought he was largely the victim of circumstances. "When asked if he thought he had been drugged, he said no. Johnnie Murphy, when asked the same question, answered mysteriously that there was something wrong, but that for the present his tongue was tied, but when the proper time came he expected to make some important revelations. ''Have you got anything to say about Mitchell?" the reporter asked. "Well he was not verv attentive to say the least." "If you ever fight again would you have Mitchell for a trainer?" "No sir I don't know that I would, but I don't know that I will fight any more. I think Fve had my share of it" In speaking further of the fight, Kilrain said: "T weighed 185 pounds when I .went into the ring, and all talk about me only weighing 1G8 is all bosh. I knew'that I had not been trained properly, and was not in a fit condition to fight Sullivan, but if I had not gone into the ring people would have said I was a cow ard. I meant to fight if it killed me. The crowd there was against me. and the referee while I think he is a square man, was partial to Sullivan, and knew nothing about the rules. Both he and the crowd kept all the time telling me to go up to Snllivan, and I went knowing I would onlv be knocked down. Of course the referee i had no right to say a word, and under the rules I could have run all around the ring, but there was no one but! little Murphy there to coach and T blindly went up and took my medi cine. In fact I thought that 1 war, knocked down repeatedly, but not be ing knocked out shows that Sullivan's j terrible blows did not have the power some people suppose they did. J could have stood up longer but Don ovan threw up the sponge in his ex citement, being afraid that I would be killed. My blows for some reason, did not seem to have any force. My arms seemed numb, but what was the matter I don't know for the life of me, The sun (had a terrible effect on me, my back was one big blister after the fight."
