It Is in the hands of the receiver. That seems to be the fate reserved for all railroads built In whole or in part by public money. They furnish a striking contrast to all other railways. The tendency of the for ir.er Is toward bankruptcy, while all those who have anything to do with the construction or management be come millionaires. The railroads on the other hand built by private cap ltal, as a rulo go on prospering. All those who have Interests in them do fnlrly well. Very rich men are not made by them, but stockholders and bondholders have no reason to com plain. Theio peculiar results are de serving of the closest investigation. They constitute a new and somewhat surprising chapter In what Is called railroading. The people nave Ibeen emphctlcully benten with the slick that they tliem Lelves cut and hundad over to their beneficiaries. To subsldlzo' a railroad in the United States is to provide a ftiechanlurn for the plunder of the peo ple who give away or loan money. Trobably the flrst notion of the subsi dized railroad was, by their outra geous actions, to make the people li quidate their debt. But, if any idea of that kind waa entertained, it was Boon abandoned for the method which has -been so long In vogue, numely, to run tho road Into hopeless bankruptcy, the managers gathering In the good things as they went along, and each tiny growing more and more marvel ously rich. We have In this circumstance, the explanation of the paradox that bank rupt railroads, especially if subsidized, sro productive In a most remarkable manner of millionaires. These enter prises, which are In themselves few and struggling, produce plutocrats In great abundance because they i are plundered us they go ulong for their bencvU. Some opera' tor j In private nilroads have been able to fleece their stockholders.' Kut lit most coned the policy of prlvute railroads has been 'tc build them' solves up and make handsome returns to those who Invested their money In them. The prime object of the aubtddl sed railroads, on the other hand, has always been to get rid of the debt to the government, and, as that could be boat accomplished by wrecking the railroads, the manners have gone along In that plcasnnt work ; with great spirit, seeing that one of tho collRhMul effect was the groat enrich tnont of themselves. ' It Isn't so much how you pay for ndveitUlng. It's what you got for what you pay, Advertising space In any respectable newspaper Is nieiflnuv dlae, and must be reckoned fa a Imrrvl of flour or as yard of calico. No inponslblo .merchant Wls flour or O'Hco for Uss thun Its value. No good newspaper peddles advertising, space for leu than It la worth to Itself, or to the advertiser. 1 What do you think of our argument? Mr. Chamberlain, the leader of the opposition to Gladstone, says of the Home Rule bill: "By the necessity of the case It can not como up before rest year at the curliest. It cannot be brought on till thou in any caae, and perhaps not V i; !lin. Whenever It comes up It la (Tolug to meet again the same fate lr. has already met. Whatever In formation you may receive through the Xity prtlsun correepondence that la i .mr;;iy avnt from England to the I'Mted stutes. you may rely upon It t!::tt the Gladntonlnnsr will not come luck Into r-'wer again. As soon as tJ-.rv n:T"! to t rr!e their fate Is rrrvlcd We shall wipe out the Glad bu.n'iiin maji-rlty completely at the r.!- t fir nrral cli-clian. The registration of opponents of the Gladstone policy In London shows, it is said, a gain on the average of five hundred in each district for the con servatives. Mr. Chamberlain says of Mr. Gladstone: . Mr. Gladstone is very strong and enjoys excellent health. He was stronger at the close of the season than he was at the beglnlng. He is a wonderful man, and was never bet ter Intellectually." The people of Astoria do not need to be told that during the coming win ter there "will be much J destitution In this city. Every winter we see more or less of it, but at a time of business depression like this has been, the dis tress Is far greater and more wide spread than ordinarily. We are sorry to see that the public are not res ponding as liberally as they might to the appeal to the W. C. T. U. made In this paper some time ago. Give heartily. No housekeeper who sits by her well filled dinner table at night warmed by the glow of her stove fire, should hesitate for a moment to give of her bounty some small share, for the sustenance of some other wo man who Is sick and 111 for want of nourishment. Human kindness should be plentiful enough In Astoria to en sure to many a poor family a com fortable winter. Yesterday's Oregonlan says: "Mayc Mason has Informed tho members of the council that it will be lmposelbl for him to go to San Francisco to at' tend the launch of the battleship Or egon on the 20th! Inst The large amount of public business requiring his dally attention, in conjunction with his private business, will preclude him from taking the trip, much as he would like to do so. The members of the council were unable to decide what action to take in the matter, and will hold a meeting this afternoon to con slder the question. It Is hardly prob- able that they' will make up their minds to attend the launch in a body but perhaps a delegation may go."- The Astoria city council should bo represented at the launching, as well as the Astoria chamber of commerce. Ex-President Harrison, said In Chi cago the other day: "We are sowing the seed of discord In the breaking away from the national laws. The people of this country will not submit to choice of their officials hy the dice box or the juggler's hat Above all this, we must have pure elections. , "I am not partial to any particular federal election law except that the law should provide for some judicial meth od of Inquiry." Winter Is coming, and still business Is picking up a little, and our adver tisers are getting more aggressive maybe that is why business Is pick Ing up. One hundred and ninety one Astoria merchants tell you In the As torlan thlH morning things that It Is to your Interest to investigate. They advertise in the Astorian he cauwe It PAYS. The army of our advertisers is swelling every day. Don't forget your poorer neighbors. What good will your abundance do you, unless you share It with the needy? A little flour, a hundred bread tickets, a pound of tea, or sugar these are small things but they will make you happier If you give them, Poverty only fears one foe. Charity is Its name. Why, oh why, Will the rebels try Forever to knock Poor Rio a-wry. FOUND THEM THE BEST.

Constipation leads to a multitude of physical troubles. It is generally the result of carelessness or indifference to the simplest rule of health'. Eugene McKay, of Brantford, Ont., writes: "I had for several years been a suf ferer from constipation, had taken a great many dlffedent remedies, some of which did me good for a time, but only for a time, then my trouble came back worse than ever. I was Induced by a friends, whom Brandredth's Pills had benefitted, to try them. Took two each nlht for a week, then one every nlfiht for about six weeks. Since that time I have not experienced the slight est difficulty whatever, and my bowels move regularly every day. I believe frmly that for sluggishness of the bowcla and biliousness Brandreth's Pills are far superior to any other. A SAFFRON COLORED INDEX. Of the condition of a bilious stomach and eluggglsh liver is the human coun tenance. Not only the skin, but. the ey oalls, are tinged with the yellow hue when tho bile gets Into the blood. Besdles this, sick headache ensues, the tongue becomes furred, pains are felt in the liver and through the right shoulder blade, and dizziness Is exper ienced upon rising from a sitting or recumbent posture by the bilious indi vidual. For these and other indication of biliousness, Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters is the sovereign remedy. It is also efficacious In chills and fever, dumb ague, ague cake. Inactivity of the kid neys, and bladder, rheumatism and i-ervousness. It stimulates, restores di gestion, and sleep, and tends greatly to mitigate the Infirmities of age.

It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cureB wind chollc, and is the best remedy for diarrhoea. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Sold by all drug gists throughout the world. THE OPEN SWITCH. A ESTABL1SUED SAFEGUARD. Anybody who tiavels by cars knows what is meant by "an open switch." It is the terror of railroad men, and the dread of the traveler. Hi .iwims killed, horribly man gled or maimed for life are numbered by the score each year. Yet even the dreaded "open switch" is not so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which, without ceasing its activity for an instant, is duify lining hundreds ot graves. What is that terrible ailment? you ask It is Heart Disease I " But." you reply, con fidently, "I haven't any heart disease my neari is an rignt. j.re yon buke r Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., the distinguished specialist in diseases of the heart and nervous system, states that disor ders of tho heart are as common as those of the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys, though often unsuspected. The reason peo ple are not nwaro of this important fact is becauso symptoms of heart disease are not usually recognized as proceeding from this organ, but are attributed to some other source. If you have shortness of breath. fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness in loft breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or choking sensation, fainting or smothering spells, your heart is affected. "1 had been troubled with heart disease for years. My left pulse was very weak, could at times scarcely feel it, excitement would weaken my nerves and heart, and fear of impending death stared mo in the face for hours. Or. Miles' Nervine and New Heart Cure are the only medicines that have proved of any benefit and cured me." L. M. DYER, Clovordale, Md. "My wife hns been taking Lr. Miles' Nev Cure for the Heart. She thinks it wonderful. She has not been troubled with pain or smothering spoils since using it. We have also used Ifr. mum rills, and we lind them all they are claimed to be." GEO. L.
