Astoria, Or., October 15, 1M96. The tender of the portfolio of state by McKlnley to John Sherman, the old Ohio war horse, must commend Itself to every Republican. The Populistlc governor of Washing ton took his seat at Olympla yester day amid the blare of trumpets and the shouts of bis admirers. It remains to be seen what this Moses will do for is people. It Is to be regretted that congress could not find time to take up at onoe the Nicaragua canal bill. Those who are working for this great enter prise are not discouraged, however. and will press the matter to an issue at the earliest opportunity. The recent arguments presented before the senate by Senator John H. Mitchell, of Ore gon, must be convincing to the dullest mind, that any great development on the Pacific coast can only be brought about by the consummation of the Nicaragua canal scheme. More Im portant than any transcontinent rail road project or the adjustment of rail road rates on any basis which would return to the railroad companies even the cost of transportation," is the build' lag the canal. With England and Eu rope brought within thirty days' dis tance of San Francisco and Astoria by steamer, means simply a revolution In international traffic matters. If the representatives of California, Oregon and Washington, as well as Idaho and Montana are properly backed up by their constituents, there is no question but that the passage of the bill can be secured. If so inclined the press of these states can wield a mighty Influ ence. It has been truly salj that if in earnest and on the right side the editor has exceptional opportunities and can forge out of public opinion a mighty influence for good. Let every newspaper on the Pacific slope take p the cudgel for the Nicaragua canal and they must certainly win their just cause. The newspapers of the country. North, East, West and South, are di vided In their opinions concerning the Pacific railroads funding bills. It may Be true as stated by some that the bill Just turned down by the house did not fully cover the requirements of the ease, and that the only course left open to the government was one of fore closure which, upon the present basis of values, would undoubtedly result in a sale of the properties of the Union and Central Pacific railroads at a price which would no more than pay off the first Hens against the property, leaving the government with nothing to show for its second mortgage, it may also be true that the government, on the other hand, might well afford to take the properties and run them as gov ernment railroads. It may also be true that there is a syndicate of Ger man capitalists with 40,000,000 behind thenc ready to pay off the face of the government's second mortgage and buy in the properties tcr their civn use. Any man who has carefully studied the entire situation and Is acquainted with the history of these properties, even admitting all of the alleged steal ings and robberies on the part of past stockholders and officers, must be con vinced that a grave error will be com mitted by this government if It either permits the passage of a bill which hall place the ownership and opera tion of these roads in the hands of the government direct, or which shall per mit the title of these properties to pass to any foreign country. The experi ences by Germany, Italy and France In operating railroads under direct governmental control are well known. Bach attempt proved a failure, and ev ery other such attempt must prove a failure In any other country. Political machinery cannot operate a traffic business such as is conducted by an ordinary railroad. England saga ciously passed a railroad clearing house ' bill, and today Hs railroads are profit ably., operated, under, supervision of government, officers, with satisfaction to the people at large, as well as to the officers of the companies and the government. The principle of the clear ing' house is similar to that of our Interstate commerce commission, with the exception that the English clearing house has authority to carry out its wn orders. No one would like to see the great pioneer transcontinental rail road absolutely owned and operated by foreigners. We have one Instance of this kind tn Illinois. Te Illinois Cen tral railroad Is owned outright by Eng lish stockholders. It la one of the richest dividend-paying properties In the country, but the dividends go across the Atlantic. Morgan's funding bill provides a sensible solution of the Pacific railroad difficulty, though per haps It does not go quite far nough, and perhaps the nine directors hp pointed by the government might be come so lax In their duties as to bring about a state of confusion and loss of money In the management of the prop erties. These are details that can be provided for In the future. The bill Itself is the best solution of the entire question yet presented. OH MAKING CHARTS. The high state of perfection reached by the t'nlted States hydrugraphle of fice Is fully attested In the following editreS.0 from the issue of the Liverpool Journal of Cotu.aeroe Just received: "The report of the I'nited States hy- drograplier, Captain C. D. Sigsbee, I". S. N., to the bureau of navigation, for the financial year endexi 30th June, ISiMJ. which has just tvoheU us. Is one of the most Interesting of annual official doc uments. America does not possess a fleet of surveying ships. Curiously enougl. her coast survey work also does not come under the direct control of the hydrographlc office. Yet it must be freely confessed that navigators of every nation are grateful to that de partment of the state located at Wash ington, for carefully compiled charts, sterling sailing directions, monthly pi lot charts of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, weekly hydrographic bulletins, and other Herns of the high est value to navigators and others. At the branch offices at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk. Sa vannah, New Orleans, San Francisco, Portland, and Port Townsend every as sistance towards safe navigation is af forded to shipmasters under every flag by the officers of the United States navy and the nautical experts respon sible for the working of the branches. which are in close touch with the head office at Washington. During the past financial year a new departure has been made which promises well for greater convenience of the commercial public Maritime exchanges and pri vate firms have given suggestions as to the kind of nautical and shipping In formation which is of value to com mercial men, and the United States hydrographic office will soon b able to answer any question of this nature." L ncie sam is doing good work. In a scientific manner, for'the benefit of the mariners of the world and his charts have been found reliable. The branch offices on the Pacific Coast have had many difficulties to contend with Indi gent to a new country, but the work of the officers here stands the test of time. THE URGENT NEED OF A NATION AL UNIVERSITY. It is not the needs of the District of Columbia which are to be met by a University of the United States. The local needs are well supplied already. It Is the need of the nation. And not of the nation alone, but of the world. A great university in America would be a school for the study of civic free dom. A great university at the capital of the Republic would attract the free- minded of all the .tarth. It would draw men of all lands to the study of democracy. It would tend to make the workings of democracy worthy of re spectful study. The New World has Its lebsons as well ts the Old; and Its ma terial for teaching these lessons should be made equally adequate. Mould and ruin are not necessary to a university; nor are traditions and precedents es sential to its effectiveness. The great est of Europe's universities ts one of her very youngest. Much of the great ness of the University of Berlin is due to her escape from the dead hands of the past. It is in this respect that the great promise of the American univer sity lies. President David Starr Jor dan, in the January Forum. FREE TO EVERY MAN THE METHODS OF A GREAT TREATMENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN. Which Cured Him iter Everything Else Failed. 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. Sleep 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 size 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 I 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 pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering 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 anora to pay xne lew postage stamps necessary to mail the informa tion, but send for it,, and learn that there are a few things on earth that al though they cost nothing to get they are worth a fortune to some men and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us.

Beware of Take Paine's Celery Compound if You Need a Do Not Allow a Off Any Health Is too Precious to Listen to the Preaching Paine's Celery the Sick The Wonderful Prescription That Results From the Life Work of America's Greatest Physi cian, Investigator and Practitioner. There Is one direction, as Dr. George F. Shrady, America's first surgeon, dls tinctly says, tn which pople seem to need enlightenment at present more than they have for many years past 'This Is the rational appreciation of the danger of quackery and fake cures." Dr. Shrady's article In the New York World of Dec. 27. should be read by every man and woman who is ever Inclined to listen to the nonsensical, but too often plausible rambllngs of traders In patent medicines. When. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D. LL. IX, of Dartmouth college, after long life of study In the most recent scientific Investigation of disease. evolves the marvelous formula of Paine's celery compound when after the closest possible observance by the beS! pra.?tiilonrs It is found that this greatest remedy of our generation not only does all. but even accomplishes mor than the modest doctor the giant among men that he has proved to be more than ne was wining at nrst to clal-n when thousands of sufferers in every walk of life, sufferers from the ailments that come from overwork, de ranged digestive organs, impaired ner vous systems, too poor or too rich living, inattention to hygienic laws, have been absolutely restored to health by Paine's celery compound, after vainly trying every other possible rem edy, and being dosed by well meaning but Incompetent so-callnd physicians.

When the rheumatism first pre-empts certain tracts of your anatomy it may be ousted easily, but when It becomes an old settler It is pretty hard to budge. Remember this when you experience the first twinges of this obstinate and agonizing disease, and attack It with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It will then "make tracks" and possibly leave you unmolested and In peaceable pos session of your own comfort In the fu ture. Perils always attend rheumatism, fif It become chronic, on account of Its tendency to attack the heart. Usually it is complicated with kidney trouble. Certain It Is that the kidneys, when aroused by the Bitters, will eliminate Impurities which give rise to rheuma tism and dropsy. In Inclement or wet conditions of the weather, the Bitters, taken in advance, will often avert rheu matic trouble.

Rudyard Kipling has given up his home m Vermont, and it is now be lieved that he will make his home In the English county of Devonshire. The workman often eats his lunch on the same bench where he does lil.i work. The office man turns his desk Into a iHnner-tatl.?. Neither gets the out of doors exercise he needs, neither takes the proiter time for eating . It Is small wonder that the digestion of both gets out of order. In such cases Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets come to their assist ance by aiding nature In taking care of the food. The cause of nlno-tenths of the sick ness of the world Is constipation. From this one cause come Indign-stlon; disor ders of the stomach, liver and kidneys; biliousness, headaches, flatulence, heart biliousness, headaches,ftatulence, heart burn Impurity of the blood and the serious complications that follow. To be?ln with, constipation is a little thing, and a little thing will cure It. The "Plaasant Pellets" are tiny, sugar coated granules. They will perfectly cure the worst case of constipation and Indigestion. If the druggist tries to sell you some other pill that pays him profit, you think of what will best pay you.
