Wero I to seek a place lo dwell,
More like heaven and less like hell,
Where roses bloom the year around,
And where the finest girls are found,
A place that knows no cold or heat
And where the climate can't be beat,
Where epidemics are unknown
And courtesy is strangers shown,
Where the harbor is wide and deep,
And Herman Wise sells clothing cheap,
Where fair play rule? 'tween man and man,
And everyone does all he can;
There's no other place 'neath the sun
Such as ''Astoria, Oreqon."

day passed the Indian appropriation bill

support of a vigilant party and an ar
oused people.If through miscarriage In
the elections of 1894 there should be a
failure to return a large turlff reform
majority, -It would be a calamity of
crushing magnitude. Against it we
can have no assurance except In a sys
tem of democratic clubs well organized,
active and aggressive in every state
and district and their union in state
and national associations.
