It may be realized by purchasers of
diamond tiaras and the like that styles
in settipg change almost as frequently
as in a woman's bat and every other
year at least mast seo tbo precious dia
meu rebuilt. This adds to original
cost, for no self-respecting jeweler
changes the setting of a costly piece
of jewelry without adding a few stones
to the first amount, thereby increasing
its vulue. Of coarse famous crowns,
With association attached, that have
recently come into the possession of
very rich Americans remain as first
designed, for even au American shows
some sentiment when it costs him a
fortune to iudalge in rich historic jew
els, bat otherwise diamond and pearl
and omeruld tiaras aro constantly
made over.
Kussia is stealthy and tireless. Evon
wbilo its armies were being defeated
in Manchuria and its throne was
shaken by revolt, it was secretly fast
ening a firmer grip on the Chinese em
pire. Tbe fact that Russia has a line
of military posts across the northern
part of tbe Chinese empire has been
kept a secret from the world. It was
rovualod by an indiscreet publication
in a Russian provincial newspaper.
Russia's purpose, beyoud the satisfac
tion of its old lust for dominion, can
not be determined. Wtmtover it is the
powers interested iu maintaining
China's territorial iutegrity are di

Just why Fred Mulkey desired tbe

The victory of Will S. Dauniway is
overwhelming for State printer as be

tbe only candidate wbo is pledged to

GKAltlN ITS LOGICAL C1I01CK.
(Portland Journal)
It is au appalling pioture whioh tbe
Oregonian draws of tbe perils which
would threaten the nation in the event
that John M. Gearin should be returned
to Washington for six years more as
senator from Orogon. "The Demo
cratic senator may at any time bave
it within his power to deoide absolute
ly tbe f Lite of any given Republican
party aud thus himself defeat tbe
whole purpose for whioh the Republi-

prediction of tbe Oregonian this morn- 1
lug, aud it prooeeds with a disquiBi
tion on the "grave cousoquenoes of
electing a Democratic senator and a
Demooratio governor at a time when
issues of profound momeut are to be
decided by tbe nation."
Tbe greatest issue now before the na
tionj is the tariff. The Republican
party is the exponent of the theory of
high tariff, while one of tbe funda
mental principles of the Dctnooartio
party is tariff, for the revenue only.
Senator Gearin stands with his party iu
earnestly advocating a reduction of
tbe oppressive duties uudor which I ho
uutiou groans.
Only three days ago, in au editorial
discussing tbe proposal to remit all
duties on building materials destined
for San Francisco, tbe Oregonian
made those statements: "The highest
interests of all demaud aud' require
that nobody should receive tbe special
favor of 'protection' of government

special interests to receive such special
favor and protection. The situation
at San Francisco strips tbe pretense
from tbe system. Why should 'pro
tective' duties be suspended at San
Francisco? Because tbe situation there
shows and proves that the system is
oppressive. But it, is not tbe earth
quake and fire that makes it oppressive.
It is oppressive through its own na
ture and operation. Tbe system en
ables one sort, class, set or description
of citizen to make profits out of others.
Hence our enormous and ever increas
ing purse-proud aristooracy. Let tbe
foreign materials, then into San Fran
cisco free. Such a lesson it would be
against the trust combination in our
country, under cover of protection,
which piles up fortunes for individuals
and increases year by year the crop of
millionaires and plutocrats."
Holding these views, the one logioal
course for the Oregonian is to support
John M. Gearin for United States sen
ator. Every one knows that if Senator
Gearin bad it in his power to "decide
the fate of the Republican policy" of
a high protective tarifl, he would do
his utmost, by his vote and bis in
fluence to overthrow it
PRINTER'S INK DID IT

The result of a skilful and exten
sive advertising are seen in the vic
tory of Jonathan Bourne.
It must be due to advertising since
Jonathan has but little to recommend
him to the discerning voter.
His record is that of a political jug
gler and oorruptionist. He bas bought
votes and bribed legislators. These
facts are not denied. They are excused
on the ground that such methods were
formerly essential in Oregon politics.
The repeutaot sinner will be a saint
hereafter, the leopard spotless, we
have been told by apologists.
Bourne is a sagacious "trimmer."
When the f reo silver craze seized Ore
gon he was for free silver the loudest,
frothiest spouter of them all. Now
that "Statement No. 1" is rogarded as
the sole road to the nation's salva
tion, with Oregon to point tbe way, he
bas spent thousands of dollars in pro
claiming himself as tbe champion of
this doctrine. He bas made himself
solid with tbe proletariat by arts known
to the demagogue. Cake represents
tbe conservative element in the repub
lican party and Bourne the extremist
verging almost into socialism.
No Oregon Legislature would bave
elected Bourne to the United States
Senate. He could not have wheedled
or bought bis seat at Salem. Yet-he
is or will bo the "choice of the peo
ple," since in all likelihood he will
beat John M. Gearin in June. Mr.
Gearin is a better, abler, stronger
man, and a oredit to the state in Con
gress, but will have to win over too
many republican votes to defeat
Bourne, whose boom is by no means a
bubble, from all appearances.
Printer's ink has accomplished won
ders. Whether it bas power to make
a statesman of a mountebank, remains
to be seen. We hope so, for the sake
of Oregon's good name, but. doubt its
efficacy. Printer's ink cannot make a
valuable specific of whiskey and opium
or an allwool garment of a pieae of
shoddy.

Eminent Doctors Praise its Ingredients.
Ve refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
T)r. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff
of Tun I' clectic Medical IlBviEWsays
of Unicorn root (helnhts DUilca) which
Is one of the chief ingredients of tho "Fa
vorite Prescription : -
"A remedy which invariably acts a a uter
ine Invitcorator makes, for normal ac
tivity of the entire reproductive system.
Tie continues "In Heloniaswe have a medica
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug u ith which I am
acquainted In tho treatment of diseases pe
culiar to women it is seldom that a case Is
seen which lws not present some Indication
for this remedial went." Dr. Fyfe further
says: "The followIiiK are among- the leading
Indications for Helonlas (Unicom root). Pain
or aching- In the back, with leucorrboea;
atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive
organs of women, mental depression and Ir
ritability, associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive organs of women, constant
sensation of heat in the region of the kid
neys; menorrliagla (Hooding), due to a weak
ened condition of the reproductive system;
amenorrhea (suppressed or absent monthly
periods), arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition of the digestive organ
and antemic (thin blood) habit; dragging
sensations In the extreme lower part of the
abdomen."
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, one of the leading ingredi
ents of which is Unicorn root, or Ilelonias.
and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription,"
Prof. Finley Elllngwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Medical College, Chicago, says:
"It Is an important remedy In disorders of
tho womb. In all catarrhal conditions
and general enfeeblement, it Is useful."
Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., lato of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root :
"In relation to its general effects on the
system, then to no medicine in we about which
then it mteh general unanimity of nviniim. It
Is univtrwllu regarded as the tonic useful in
all debilitated states."
Prof. Bartholow, M. D.. of Jefferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal :
"Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, monor
rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor
rhea (painful menstruation)."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription faith
fully represents all the above named In
gredients and cures the diseases for which
they aro recommended.
