For Washington and Oregon: Fair weather; slightly cooler. 1 There were In the senate, " In the house, a few republicans for and a few democrats against the liland bill, which now offers the president the opportunity of his lifetime for a veto; cui me masses of democrats are for It, and the masses of republicans are ogalnst it, and the responsibility of the adminis tration is something acute and danger ous. The plea that the hill Is really a part of the Sherman law Is a perver sion. Its object Is inflation. Every pig of silver we possess Is pledged for the payment of the treasury notes, which were Issued not at the mint, but the market value. Since- the government gave Its notes this collateral has de clfned In the pig $41,000,000. Instead of withdrawing that much currency.which would be the solvent thing to do, the bill before the president proposes to is sue 855,000,000, nni there is a clause that .nay double the amount, on the pre tense of coinage, the truth being that the actual value of the silver Is less In coin than In bullion, and there are more that $300,000,001 of silver dollars In ad dition to those In, the hands of the peo ple. The bill Is the formal recognition of the silver standard, the real demo cratic objection to the Sherman law be ing the assertion of the gold standard. Mr. Bland's answer to silver purchase repeal is gold standard repeal, and be yond that Is flab Inflation and repudia tion. There ought not to be a doubt whether the president will veto this measure; but a few days will tell. course, they want to get an much of it for their silver as they can, Just as a farmer wants to get as much gold ns he can for his wheat.

EXECUTRIX NOTICE, The policy of Senator Stewart would seem to require the annexation of his great sovereign state of Nevada to Mex ico. Then, If he- Is not mistaken, sliver prosperity would amount to a boom. Mexloa has the facilities. Our south western statesmen are assuming in the medicine they offer the United States that Mexico Is the model republic. The worklngmen of Philadelphia, who are proposing to go to Washington on special trains to hold a muss meeting there against the passage of the Wilson bill, should think the matter over vory carefully and decide not to go. It will not to do offer even the appearance of physical force In bringing to bear a pres sure upon congress. Let the mass meet ing be held in Philadelphia, and send a committee with a petition to congress. Jf there is money for transportation, save it for those who are in want. In some of the Journals that believe themselves peculiarly gifted In good- ress, we notice criticisms of the course of republicans In the senate when they consented to the consideration of the silver Belgnlorage coinage. The good nt.u nf this sort are all the while - afflicted with sorrows about the conduct of republicans. They never discover that democrats are much to blame for anything. Btlll, such examples of right eousness as the "Independents" in Journalism vote the democratic ticket for the sake of free trade, and provide for such, sectional and class legislation as is embodied in the Wilson bill as amended In the states most contiguous In territory and doctrine to Mexico. When democratic senators spend five weeks tinkering the Wilson bill, it Is thought to be the duty of republicans to hurry It up. The New Jersey silk weavers sought to popularlie their cause by mobbing men and women who failed to see the wisdom of refusing to accept work when it was to be had, and also who had no hoarded thousands back of them, but who had families to support" Among those whom the mob sought to bring Into unpleasant consplcuousness was a woman. They gathered about her and "paraded" her home, an attention by means desired by her. When urged to Join the strikers, the girl sensibly de clined, saying the Job she was on was the first work she had had in many months, and was the only bar between herself nd poverty It occurred to striker to offer to marry her out of hand !amt "give her ft comfortable home;" but how a man volutarlly out of work and earning nothing was able to do this, did not appear, and the girl, who seems to have a level head on her shoulders, declined. Evidently, aim was not fool enough to marry Jdlenesa and court misery. She told the man foj- one M. .h wan airrady sngaged. The following will explain itself: Astoria, March 23, 1894. Editor ABtorlan: There have been peo ple In all ages who are unwilling to ac mi the, hard facts of existence, and abide by nature's laws as they are, but are always endeavoring to discover some subtle hidden or unnatural means of gaining wealth, prolonging life or making things easy and comfortable. Astrologers and fortune tellers have worked upon the credulity of people by pretending to reveal their fortunes, good or bad, generally good, through super natural means or methods unknown but to, the favored few. Alchemists have wasted their lives In the endeavor to convert common sub stances into the precious metals. The elixir of life, the fountain of perpetual youth, have been sought In vuln by vis ionary and credulous people In every generation of men. Of late years the craze of hallucina tion has taken hold of the minds of a similar class of men In a way that prompts them to attain the desired end without even the labor of the alchemist, the tricks of the fortune teller or the adventures of the searcher after the Fountain of Youth. The moat credulous )f them do not claim to have found the Fountain of Youth, but they do think they have discovered the Fountuln of Wealth for a suivty the process being so simple and easy that the only wonder '.s, 'It has not been universally adopted before now. All In the world necessary Is to take paper, or any material, and have the amount It Is to be worth, Whether one, five, ten or a hundred dol lars, stamiied uKn It by govemmet au thority, and It Is done. No need for any one to be short of cash. Surely the gov ernment can rustle around some way and find paper enough, and every Idle man in the country could be set to work at making roads or other improvements at big pay. and those who are unable to to work might 1 given as much as they want, Just as well as not. Now this sounds like nonsense, twad dle, bosh, anything but sense, and so It Is; bat the fact remains that many peo ple in this country actually believe In JubI such nonsense today. It In claimed that government cun Issue paper money to the amount of u certain per cent of the wealth or tne countiry. So It can, but It must agree to redeem that paper with coin on demand. Suppose, for Instance, that the United States should have another civil war and the country be divided up Into three or four, or a doien different nations, what value does any one Imagine would attach to a piece of paper with V. S. stamped upon It? A $-0 piece would be worth no more than a one dollar, and neither would be worth any more than so much waste paper. But a $20 gold piece would still he worth Its fare value, or nearly so. You can always buy merchandise with gold, or even with sliver, but you can not buy anything with paper, unless It Is known that the paper is exchange able for gold or silver. This fact ought to be sufficient for any one, but there are none so blind as those who will not Notice is hereby given to all whom It may concern, that the undersigned h.is been appointed executrix of the last will and testament of J. It. Olsen, deceisi d. late of Clatsop county, Oregon, by the County Court of s-ild county, and all persons having claims against I lie es tnte of said deceased are notified to pre sent the same, duly verilled, to the said executrix, at the office of Fulton Bros., In the City of Astoria, In said county and state, within six months from this date.

CjMAS. tfEIjjjBORN & SON- THE LAND OF PHOMISE Is the mighty West, the land that "tickled with a hoe laughs a harvest;" the Kl Dorado of the miner; the goal of the agricultural emigrant. While k teems with all the elements of wealth and prosperity, some of the fairest and most fruitful portions of It bear a har vest of malaria reaped In its fullness by those unprotected by a medicinal safeguard. No one seeking or dwelling in a malarial locality Is safe from the scourge without Hostetter's Stomach Hitters. Emigrants, bear this In mind. Commercial travelers sojourning in ma larious regions should carry a bottle of the Bitters In the traditional gripsack. Against the effects of exposure, mental. or bodily overwork, damp and unwhole some food or water, it is an infallible defense. Constipation, rheumatism, bil lousness, dyspepsia, nervousness and loss of strength are all remedied by this genial restorative. I had for dinner was tho best I ever ate.

Every good thlnjr has Its host of Imi tators; every genuine article its coun terfeits. The Imitators always choose the most valuable and popular article to counterfeit, so that, when they claim their sham to be equal, or as good, or tho same os "So-and-So's," the public may ucpena upon it that "So-and-So's" article is tho best of the kind. The sham proves the genuine merit, of the thing it copies, and never has this been better illustrated than by the Imitations of Allcock's Porous I'lusters. Allcock'a Porous PhuUer Is the stand ard of excellence the world over, and its Imitators In their cry that theirs Is us good as Allcock'B" are only em phasizing this fact and admitting "All- cock's" to be the acme of perfection. which It Is their highest ambition to Imitate. The difference between the genuine and these Imitations, which copy only general appearance, is as wide as that between copper and gold. jne only Bare way for purchasers Is to always insist upon having Allcock's fortius piasters. They are tlm onlv uer- fect plasters ever produced. NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT.
