Judge Caldwell's recent decision has taught the I60,000-a-year receivers of the Union Paoltla a valuable lesson. The next time they attempt to reduce the wages of the men, contrary to mutual agreement, they ought to first scale down their own extravagant pay to something like a proper figure. Judge Caldwell's d.?cUlon also contains an other truth which nil railroad mana gers might study with profit. He said: "A corporation Is organlaed capital; it is capital consisting of money and prop erty. OrgunUed labor is organised cap ital; It Is capital consisting of brains and ni'isrlK What Is lawful for one to do It Is lawful fur the other to do. It Is lawful for the stockholders and odl eel's of a corporation to associate and confer together for the purpose of re ducing the wages of Its employes, oi for dovlslng some other means of mak ing their Investments profitable; It Is equally lawful for organised labor to Associate, consult and confer with a view to maintain or Increase wages. Both act from the prompting of en lightened selfishness, and the action of both Is lawful when no Illegal or crim inal means are used or threatened." . I One of thu public questions now un dergoing general discussion In the east la whether the debt due the government by the Union Pacific roads shall be re funded, or will th government take lh road for the debt due and operate them itself. Considering the Import anc of the future oeration, and prop er management of these roads to the people of the Paolflo Coast states, there Is a surprising lack of Interest In th matter, If the dally paper are any In- dex to the state of public feeling on the subject. It may have aeemed a smart thlnr to the Bhertff and hla deputies to play the town hoe on the poor, shivering ;k1 starving wretches composing a branch of the so-called Industrial army at San Bernardino Saturday, but It. will not strike people of ordinary sensibilities that this la exactly the proper way to reason with human creatures, no mat tor how misguided or cranky they may Ifcudalrovt's reixirt. shows that, tUoi wero thlrly-cn strikes week btf.vrj last, Involving 40,o00 employes. This "golden era of Democratic prosperity" la hard on the worklnfrmpn, nnd It will be a long time, even under a restored Republican regime, before we can get back to the old, nnd comparatively well- settled scales of wages. The "chiinue" was a costly experiment to working men. ' It Is a fact of interest to all other sea ports to know that the Eads Jetty sys tem at the mouth of the Mississippi is proving a failure. It has been reported to the navy department that there are only nine fathoms of water at South Pass, where the chart Indicates one hundred. After all It Is still a question whether Col. Breckenrldgo or MIhs Pollard is the more to blame for the Injury to the good morals of the country by the dis gusting details of such a trial. The form and amount of the verdict do not decide that. It Is hoped the Democrats will have good weather for their convention, and that they will follow the example of the Republicans and put none but good men on their ticket. English official reports for March show Improved conditions In the skilled labor market. More workmen are em ployed than for months past, especially In the ship building and iron trades. We welcome our Democratic friends to our city, and trust their stay among us will be pleasant and profitable I hem. They will nnd our people, re. gardless of political opinion, hospitable and friendly, and ready to show them every attention to be desired. Ve wish them to understand that we are flat tored by the selection of our city as the place for holding their convention, and we propose to do all we can to sen them home with pleasant recollections of Astoria. To the newspaper men attendance ort the convention we ex tend a cordlul invitation to call at the Office of The Astorlan, where we shall be pleased to show them any special attentions within our power. How much woman's Interest In every. thing about her which. Is a part of her latter-day religion, Improves her phys. Ically Is a frequently commented-upon fact. The fresh-complexloned, keen eyed woman of 45, alert and Interested, Is a common sight today, but only short time ago that age was looked upon as almost, If not quite, hopeless. Says George MacDonald, in one of his novels: "I believe that, many women go Into consumption Just from discontent the righteous discontent of a soul which was made to sit at the Father's table, and cannot content Itself with the husks that the swine eat."

THE BEST OF REASONS. The reason why Allcock's Porous Plasters are popular Is that they may be relied on to cure: 1. Lame buck, sciatica, stiffness or twitching of the muscles. t. Chest troubles, such as pleurisy pneumonia, consumption. 3. Indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, kidney complaint. The success, however, will depend up. on the genuineness of the planter used. The popularity of Allcock's Poroui Plasters has been so great that multi tudes of Imitations have sprung up or. every hand. The only sure cure Is tt get the genuine Allcock's Porous Plas- teis.

A Campaigner Relates a Thrilling Episode of the Strugclei With' Indians In the orthwtit The Shrewd Discernment of a Half Hired Guide gaved 200 Live. We were going down the peninsula formed by the junction of the Yellow stone nnd Little Missouri rivers, hoping to intercept the Indians and turn them hack. It had been a hard, swift inarch a ride of over 400 miles with no halt above four hours, and at 10 o'clock in the forenoon half the troops were sleeping in their saddles as their lean and lame horses picked their way over the rough ground. We had planned to reach the spot where the fleeing Indians would cross tno Lit tle Missouri a day or two ahoad of them. We believed wo had accomplished it. At 10 o'clock we were within two miles of the spot. Then the head of the col nmn halted for the men to close up. Our line had strung out for a milo or more, Between us nnd tho crossing, as the halt was made, nature had made a highway. It was a grassy road r.bout 20 feet wide, twisting nnd turning like a creek. Either side was lined with dense, thickets. Half a mila down the highway it was crossed by a creek with steep batiks. Half a mile farther ou was a second creek. It was hardly mo;-e 1 baa a rivulet ut this season, hnt the width from bank to bank was 40 feet, nnd the batiks .were 10 feet high. Our guide hud never passed over tho route. No man in the column of COO men ktiew what lay beyond tho first turn. The halt to close np was a precautionary lneasnro, but no one dreamed of danger. If the hostilo Indians had not turned back or changed their route, they should be 40 or 5(1 miles to the south. The stragglers hud como up, tho sleepy troop ers had braced tip under thecycaof their officers, und Uw bugler van about to sound tho forward w'.ivu tho half breed guide and scout held up hia hand in warning. A deer c;;mo ntniiiiij tip the gruB.sy lane at full speed nnd va3 within two loot of tho colonel's horso when it wheeled to tho right and varnished into tho Ihicknt. Next carno a fox, who ran under the feet of dozen horses boforo he found shelter. Then n second deer, then throe or four vabMt3. "What is it?'' twks tho colonel of tho guide. "Ambtish!" was the reply. "Where?" Tho guido waved his hand to signify that it was down tho lano somewhere. "How do you know?'' "Seo that?" A big gray wolf rounded the turn 100 feet away, coming nt fnll speed. The hair on his back stood up, his tail almost dragged, und it was easy to Reo that he had been disturbed and was put out about it, "Injuns down there!" said tho guide. "We are too latel They have got here first, nnd we are in ambush!" "But whnt makes you think so?' per sisted tho colonel, who was impatient to go ahead and yet too prudent to need lessly expose his command. ' "Deer fox rabbit wolf I" replied the guide. "All were frightened. All run ning away from something. Injuns down thero waiting for us. We go some other way." We turned to the left and flunked the position. We had mado a distance of seven miles when Indians were seen, and skirmishing began, but they soon re treated southward, and as we followed them up they crossed the Little Missouri. It was the band wo had hoped to inter cept, but why did they turn back with out a fight? Everybody was asking the question when a few of us rode oil to in spect the ambush. Tho deathtrap had been set for us between tho creoxs. 1 lie lower end of tho avenue had boon blocked with felled trees and bushes, and trees parti v cut down would liavo blockaded the upper end as soon ns the lust horse man had passed. Tho road here nar rowed to IS feet. WhcrcviT t'.iere was an opening in the bushes which lined the Bides, it had been closed with thorns. From sunrise that morning the Indians had beeu waiting for us. Almost 200 warriors wero in hiding behind the bushes, ready to thrust out their riiles anil fire at tho signal. Perched t:i the trees along tho way were half a hundred boys armed with bows nnd arrows. Hid den away under the banks of tho creeks were 100 or tuoro squaws armed with hatchets, knives or clubs. It was not to be a battle, but a massacre. No mercy was to Iw shown not a prisoner taken. Scouts hud observed our approach and reported. When the head of our column had fairly entered the lane, the eager squaws and impulsive boys could hardly be controlled. In their moving about they frighteued tho wild animals out of their retreats and sent us tho warning. They did not know why wo halted, hesitated nnd theu took another way. For half an hour they waited, with tho scowl of hate on their bronzed faces, with tho Rjivage uesaof devils in their hearts, with eyes whicli glared and gliuted as they roamed about iu search vt tho excted proy. Then they whispered to each other: "They have taken another way! The Great Spirit scut thciu a warning to tarn amidol We cannot fight these men! Let us reeross the river and return to the oney !"
