In the celebration of yesterday, many Bred a cracker Id honor of the regatta which the committee have determined to hold in August. Astoria's annual carnival la an assured fact and It will this year commemorate more than one event. Newt yesterday of the closing of the railroad contract fur the grading of the line to Goble, put new spirit Into every business man; and those who have previously felt too poor to do anything for the regatta, determined to make sacrifices, while those who had already sacrificed concluded to go the others one better. This Is the spirit that will win any battle and which is sure to push the port of Astoria to the front. TALE AT HEXLET. Whether Tale be victorious or not at Henley, it is clear that she has madei the race for the grand challenge cup I the most Interesting ever known. The j despatches show how all England is putting forth its strength to beat Tale. It Is, In fact. Tale a single American university against all England. This cannot be said in a spirit of com plaint. Tale knew the conditions of the contest when she entered for the cup. But if she triumphs her triumph will be the more glorious and if she fails death will be no dishonor. The trial reports are not particularly favorable for Tale. Leander and N'ew College have both been over the course in shorter time than our American boys. No great Importance Is attached to that It Is evident that Mr. Cook Is feeling his way. lit does not shrink from experiments, near as the race Is. He has raised the slides and apparent ly been coaching one or two men by themselves In the right use of the slides. He has ordered new r a:s of a different pattern from those to which the crew are used. He has diversified his methods of training. Undoubtedly he has altered the stroke in spite "f his early declaration about fighting It out on the old line.- With an ordinary coach his men might well grow nervous under all these novelties, but their confidence In Mr. Cook is unbounded and deserved. It is plain he has made up his mind that under the old conditions the chance of winning was none too good. P.iska had to be taken, and he has taken them, as every giwd commander must, even on the eve of battle. There are signs that the climate Is telling on some of th? men. It was inevitable that It should The Tale au thorities were not disposed to he?d warnings on this point, n'ir would they allow as much time for acclimatization as the best Judges thought requisite. The climate Is the true reason, we Judge, why the crew have been doing less work. It Is, at any rate, better to undertrain than to overtrain. THE BRAVE FIGHT. When Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. Acts, xxvlli., lj. What Is needed to give us good cheer in life Is courage with faith behind It. Courage without faith Is not courage at all, but simply desperation, and there are many people In the world who live desperately and even recklessly be cause they have no faith. The man who Is most to be pitied is he who asks himself what all these things mean which go to make up his experience and gets no answer to the question. On the other hand, the man to be most envied Is he who has discov ered that there Is a plan in the universe of which he Is a part, and that nothing of 111 fortune can come to him which does not bring with it a compensation, and nothing of good fortune that does not bring a responsibility and a duty. Religion always produces courage. ! and Is therefore a prime necessity. We1 i . 1 I may not change events, hut we can change our attitude toward them, i There are struggle and sorrow nt ev j ery turn of the road, and they cannot I be avoided. Time spent in devising a way to em-ape front them Is time wasted, for we must either master them or be mastered by them. The chief value of religion, therefore. Ilea In the fact that It teaches us how to face them and make them subserve our spiritual development. Philosophy and science can do a great deal for us In this direction, but. after all, the really rvllgtou man has a better, a more cheering and a more hopeful outlook than any other that lives. Now, there Is a courage of the battle field, and It Is admirable To read of the soldier who exposes himself to dan ger wit'.iout dineiiiiig la to make the nerves tingle and the cheeks tltish with excitement. He counts death as noth ing, does not even give it a passing thought, and when he falls cries as did the French officer. ' Pish' it is no mat ter; we have won the fight." Such things show us what human nature is made of, how grand It is and how self saorlflclng It may become when a great thought burns In the brain and a noble emotion fills the heart. There Is a counterpart to this physl- I cal courage, for there Is another kind I fc""1 be fought, and in that bat I He we must be either cowards or he- I roes, i ne events wnicn ito ;.i. nee or- j "ain. whi' h wur ln v,rV house- l'M. reoulr a courage different In kind from that of the soldier, and very much higher. To die on the field Is cer- l" i-.e.. i Quietly, sweetly, and w ith resignation Is very much harder than to die. To calmly meet your fate, to bravely do your work from day to day. to bend your shoulders to the Inevitable bur den, and so force It to contribute to as his body is nourished with food. Tou are not without troubles, and you never will be until you fall asleep. Sometimes they are like an easterly storm, which simply renders you un comfortable and puts you to Inconven ience, and then again they are like the cyclone which comes In Irresistible fury and tears everything up by the roots. Tou have business perplexities which render your nights sleepless, or you have domestic estrangements which throw the home into gloom, or the sharp pangs of bereavement flood your eyes with tears and drown your heart In grief. All these things are a part of life, and no human being has ever been exempted. Why It Is so I cannot tell, neither can the wisest of us all. We must take courage, though, for the fight must be won. not lost. And j this victory does not depend on chance. I Hard as the struggle may be, and how- I ever prolonged, you cannot be defeated j If you get your tactics from on high. i No man can teach you how to become a ) victor, but God can and He will. Tou ! alone may not be able to do much. i but you and He can do all things. Keep up your courage by adding to your faith. Wherever you are. what ever you may be called upon to suff-r your faith w ill give you strength, while your doubts will make you w eak. The road Is sometimes a long and weary one. but If year by year you see heaven more clearly because every step brings you nearer to the mountain top, and if your soul is mellowed rather than em bittered by events, your life will have a radiance like that of the full moon at night, and In your heart there will be be a peace which only the conscious ness that rest is close at hand can give. Courage, dear soul, for tomorrow will be a bright and glorious day. GEORGE W. HEP WORTH MARVELOUS RESULTS. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman. Dlmondale, Mich., we are per mitted to make this, extract: "I have no hesitation In recommending Dr. King's .New Discovery, as the results were al most marvelou In the case of my wire.

Electric Bitters Is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gener ally needed when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver Is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic anu alterative Is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and per haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will ac' more surely In counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison.

In the broad effect of It policy It ha precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de preon, closed factories, reduced work and wage, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market. Kvery consideration of public .tafety and Individual Interest l.-mand that the government ahall bs rcM-ui-d from the band of those who have shown themselves Incapable of conducting It without dlater at home and dishonor abroad, and ahall be re stored to the party which for thirty years administered II w 1th uncinaled succe and proH-rlty A I'rnimlvr Tariff. We renew and rmphaalze our allegi ance to the policy uf protection as the bulwark of American Industrial Ind peiidence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home Industry it puts the burden of revenue on for ign good. It secure the American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wage for the American worklngman It puts the factory by the lde of the farm, and make the American farmer h s dependent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general thrift and found the drength of all on the strength of each. In It reonable ap plication It la Just. fair, and Impartial, pially opposed to foreign control and iinestlc monopoly, to sectlonul dls crimination and Individual favoritism We denounce the present Democratic tarnf ns sectional. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable tariff on foreign Import which com Into competition with American pro ducts um will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect Amur Imn labor from degredatlun to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates la a practical question, to be governed by the condl tlon of the time and production; the ruling anil uncompromising principle Is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement and then It wants rest. K 'iirm'iiy Willi Other Nalloib. We believe the repeal of the reel proi Ity arrangements negotiated by the la.-t K. publican administration was a national calamity, and we demand th-lr renewal and extension on such terms as will e'iinllxn our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer lean products In the porta of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand In hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for l h necessaries of life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mu tu.il Interest which gain open markets for us in return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic ui'iuMtry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Protection to Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with th sugar producers of this country. Tha Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar th American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than 1100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the Held, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the moet ample protection.

We denounce the practice of the pension bureau so reckleMly and unjustly carried on by th present administration, of reducing pension and arbitrarily dropping names fruin the roll, as deserving th everest condemnation of th American people.

Our foreign policy should be at all times Arm, vigorous and dignified, and alt our Interests In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded The Hawaiian Island should be con trolled by the United Htale and nn for eign power hotild be pennlti-td to In terfere with them.

Armenian Massacres. The maacrv In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Jut Indignation of the American people, and we believe that the I'nlted States should exercise all the Influence It can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dent have been exposed to the gravest dangers .and American property do stroyea. Thenr and rreo'vfhere Amer ican rltlsens and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any coat, Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the I'm!

We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any Kuropean power In this hemlspheic, but those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the Kuropean powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Independence of Cnlia. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles nf other American peopps to free themselves from European dom Inatlnn. We watch with deep und abld Ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op pression, and our bust hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government of fipaln, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi dent American cltlxens or to comply with Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United Htates should actively use Its Influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repub lic and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations of the earth demand a naval power commen surate with Its position and responsi bility.
