ISM, We've got the railroad, and now for a dry dock. A little sharp work on the part of the Chamber of Commerce will pecura one of the new government Paci fic coast dry docks at Astoria. To bring wheat through the Cascade Locks and load not less than a doxen ships next year at Astoria should be one of the prime effort of the Chamber of Commerce. The time has now come for action in that direction. When the railroad Is finished there should be already an established shipping busi ness at the mouth of the .olumbla. With S new government dry dock, the shipping of wheat to this port by barge, the loading of deep sea ves sels at Astoria elevators to prepare the way for the larger work of the railroad company, and the erection of a tin plate factory on the Columbia river. Astoria's Chamber of Commerce has plenty of business to occupy the brains and energy of its members. eminent, and of a kind, too, especially latterly, front which the city's beat In ti-reits have suffered far more than the general public la aware. The history of municipal corporations n this conn try, from that of New York City down to the humblest and stablest Puritani cal village In New Kngland, shows that the beat way to cllminste politics from a town's government la to place enough men together at one time In charge of Its affairs whoasree upon certain gvu- eral lint's or Ideas to have power with out emlwrrajwment from three of coun ter opinions to put their Ideas freely Into prattle?. In this way and no other have the people opportunity to judge the merits tvr demerits of given systems, and at the same time to know whom to hold accountable for the success or fail ure of munlcliutl jvforms and regula tions. There can tie no possible room ur tne sinning or reapon.! unity, nor for the excuse or blame of this one or that one on the score of compromises made in the tmoreMs of essential har mony. This la the position In which the peo ple of Astoria will find themselves with reference to their city council after the first of January. The Republicans will be In full and untr.unniellcd control of all departments of the city's affairs. The old barnacles that have clogged some of the moat praiseworthy efforts of the mayor and small Republican ma jority In the council during the past year have been retired, and it Is hoed henceforth will remain permanently on the superannuated list so far at least as dty offices are concerned. There has been an Infusion of some of Astoria's best young business bkxxl In the coun cil, and the Held Is riper for a record of municipal progress and prosperity than It has ever been before. With all these advantages It will be strange If the Incoming Republican council does not succeed In convincing the voters of Astoria that It may be alt right to continue politics Indefinitely In the city government, provided they are partic ular to see that It Is polities of the right kind. It Is said that before yielding to ar bitration in the Venexuelan matter England sounded the other govern ments of Europe to see whether they would unite with her against us. The Eurouean nations undoubtedly resent the Monroe doctrine, but they like Eng land's land-grabbing policy less, and vera) gtad to see her get a set-back. It is said that the British public firmly believes that it forced the United States to accept arbitration In lieu of war. Emigration to America has created such a scarcity of farm hands in Ger many th.it land owners are now im porting Chinese coolies in hordes for Held work in Sl'lsla, East Prussia Po- sen and Ponisrnia. The c:oli--J w.rk fo. twenty cents a day and the lani owners are enthusiastic over the result, so much so that many Germans who have heretofore refused to emigrate are be ing forced to do so through lack of work. When the Chinese coolie has ex tended his grasp a little the Chinese problem in Germany will be the same as ours. FREE TO EVERY MAN THE METHODS OF A GREAT TREATMENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN.

'Without coercion, petition or suggestion by property-owners or the railroad company a resolution was adopted to improve Commercial street so as to afford the people a way of access to the new depot. The resolu'lno to raise the ba.se of grade cn the lower streets will initiate another tcise piece ef legislation, and paves the way for the seawall, which. It Is apparent to everyone, must soon be built. rep ity The Spanish rely for proof of Maceo's death upon certain articles alleged to have been taken from a corpse. They have not altered nor departed In any manner from this original story. The Cuban junta one day sends out a report (hat Maceo has triumphantly forced the trocha and Is marching to eTect a Junction with the forces commanded by his compatriot Gomez. Another day they say he Is dead, having been trolled acrws the trocha under a flag of truce and by false pretenses to be brutally murdered; and now we have another report from the same reliable author- that Maceo is still alive and pre paring to blow up the women and chil dren of Havana with the whole Span ish army. Somebody is evidently lying, and for a purpose. We wonder who It Is; Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man Is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness, the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There Is no let up to the mental suffering day or night. bleep is almost Impossible, and under such a strain men are scarcely respon sible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until It was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential Inspira tion came to his aid In the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural six and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and ad dress may have the method of this won derful treatment free. Now when 1 1 say free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. I am not a philanthropist, nor do I pore as an enthusiast, but there are '.hi.usanJs of men su.Terlng the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mall the Informa tion, but send for It, and learn that there are few things on earth that al though they cxt nothing to get they are worth a fortune to some men and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us.

The numb'ir of Important resolutions introduced at the last council meeting Indicates a determination on the part of at least one of the hold-over mem bers that the city shall have a business administration during the coming year, and from the character of the men who will compose a majority of the council after the first of January It is reason able to assume that this expectation will not be disappointed. The progres sive element of Astoria's population must be gratified to witness this first fruit of the clearing up of some of the obstacles that have stood In the way ef the city's development In time past. That there should be no politics In city government Is a theoretical truism with which men of all parties must agree, but Astoria has not had a city administration In many years when there was not politics 1n the city gov- ATTRACTIVE WOMEN. Why Is one woman attractive and another not? The most admirable and attractive thing about an attractive .voman is her womanliness. Everybody admires a womanly w iman. She must have health, of course, because without It she would lrse the brightness of her eyes, the fullness of her cheeks, and her vivacity. Heal health must mean that a woman Is really a woman. That she is strong and perfect In a sexual way, as well as In every other. That she Is capable of performing perfectly the duties of maternity. Some are born with what 13 called "constitutional weakness." Some who do not enjoy perfect health, need only take the prop er precautions and the proper remedy to leeome perfectly well and stronir.
