Something for the New Year.

The world renowned success of Hes tetter's Stomach Bitters, and their con- tinued popularity for over third of a century as stomachic, is scarcely more wonderful than the welcome that greets the annual appearance of Hostetter's Almanac.

About the most contemptible business a so-called decent white man was ever caught doing, says an exchange, is from pure stinginess to refuse to pay for a newspaper for himself, and either steal or borrow that of his neighbor on pub lication day. Such people as that would not hesitate to take the clothes from dead man. All such are small, few in a hiI and mighty runty at that.

CHILE MUST Apologize.

Something decisive with reference to
Chile will doubtless take place this week.
There is q very grave falsehood out SOM

government of Chile denies it point blank
A dispatch to the New York Recorder
says: lit is known that the president was
anxious to make a demand of Chile that

same time make display of force that
would insure its being respected A warm
supporter Of this policy was Mr.. Blaine,
but the others advised delay Secretary
Tracy asked for time so that an efficient
squadron could be put into commission,
but said that he favored the views of the
president, and they would be CARRIED out
justas soon as the United States was ready
to back up the demand. Mr.. Wannamaker
was the one member who vigorously op-
posed any action save one leaning toward
arbitration. It was pointed out to
him that one nation could not have
matter left to arbitrate unless
the other seemed willing; that in
this Chile had commenced by deny

maker insisted that he would only advise
upon peace policy and that fit should DE

would resign his Office Y
It was finally decided that it would be
unwise to have a split in the cabinet over
the matter, and Secretary Tracy's views re-
garding the necessity Of getting the war
ships ready for action adding weight to this
view Of the case, it was finally agreed that
the question should remain in allegiance
until congress should convene, and in the
meantime al preparations should be made
for any emergency. Those who know Mr..

In pIaising our contemporary, the Port
Townsend Leader, which had such sin
gular career during the last senatorial
struggle, falls into the error of suppcsing
that THE TRIBUNE, to use the Leaders, own
words, ''has nearly rent the party asunder
in Thurston county and Boyd, as the hero
coming upon the scene in the nick of time,
has an opportunity to bring. order out of
chaos, SO that in next years conpaign a
solid front will be presented to the enemy. 2
The Leader evidently does not keep itself
advised Of the political situation in Thurs
ton county. Two weeks ago Secretary
Nichols, of the state central republican
committee, who was here on a visit, stated
that the republicans of this county were
united, that there were no factions here, and
the solidity of the republicans of Thurston
county was an example for some of the
other counties Of the state, His statement
was correct. Probably the efficient secre-
tary had his eye on Jefferson county where
there does not appear to be as much har-
mony as there ought to be. There is no
chaos in Thurston county politics. The
republicans understand the value of maxi
ing first-elass nominations next fall. The
animus Of the remarks Of the Leader
against The TRIBUNE will be better under
stood when it is remembered that the
Leader was for Calkins last winter, when
it suddenly changed front for Squire, with
a mortgage on the paper by Boss McGraw,
which it is said has not yet been lifted
