| The renewal Of the need OF naval protec-
| tion for American interests In China. In conse-
| quence OF the revived excitement there over
| the GEARY law. fortunately comes at a time
| when that protection can be furnished. The
Concord is now In Asiatic waters. and should
reach Singapore by the middle OF the month
on her way to Hong Kong. The Petrol will
soon be relieved from her patrol duty In the
Behring Sea region. and can then rejoin the
Asiatic station. In addition Admiral IRWIN
has with him tho Lancaster. which. to be sure
is to be relieved BY the Baltimore but the lat
ter Is very much more than an equivalent In
every way: he has also the Marion and the
Monocacy. The Alert Is on her way home from
Yokohama. SO that at the moment the availa-
BILE vessels are reduced to three. the Lancas-
ter, Marion. and Monocacy. all OF them old
tine vessels. But the three newcomers. the
Baltimore Concord. and Petrol. are modern
steel vessels: and while the first named is tho
fastest as we'll as the most powerful vessel we
have ever had for that station. the two gun
boats. and especially the Petrol. will be useful
because Of their light drauRht.
But the present exigency makes still more
obvious tho need Of hurrying along the three
new gunboats. OF which two are to be con-
structed with especial reference to Chinese
river service. being Of light draught. secre-
tary TRACY said that four such vessels were
necessary. and he pointed out the need more
than q year before three Of the four were
authorized. 1t is q pity that the fourth had
not been added, since the cost OF such vessels
10 small. and they can be maintained ut m ODER
ate expense. and 20 to points which deeper
draught vessels cannot reach. Mr.. TRACY
showed that In tho riots OF few years ago.
one English eunboat was the only vessel that
could reach the scene OF the troubles.

perhaps Congress may be asked to authorize
one or two additional gunboats. to be built on
that system, for use In Asiatic waters.

Jugde Irwin has, we understand, rend-
cred a decision in the matter of the
county attorneys fees in delinquent tax
cases in favor OF the county and against
the attorneys, 1t will, no doubt, be as
delightful as interesting to witness the
scramble of the attorneys in their haste
to get this money into the treasury,
where it properly belongs.
Now that the matter is decided, the
HERALD has no more interest in it than
it has always had: the same interest
that has always made it perfectly free in
its expressions on subjects OF public
concern. 1t can not agree with some OF
the country press that the purpose OF a
newspaper is to echo colorless facts, with
out ever daring to express an opinion
upon those facts.
The commissioners should hold these
attorneys to strict accountability under
the law for the way they have handled
the money belonging to the county, as
we'll as look out that the county gets
interest on the money.

NOT YET CHANGED.

Certain shallow Republican journals
are given to jeering at the majority of the
people in their present financial distress
and asking them, 60 How do you like the
change for which you voted?"
The change is not yet affected.
We have, it is true, President who
would not ask to be relieved of the re-
sponsibility of vetoing free-coinage bill,
at the cost to the country of the disas.
trous Sherman compromise. But most
OF the evils against which the people
voted are still unchanged.
The silver-purchase and approximation
law is not yet changed. That unfortunate
legacy of Republican rule is very hard tc
get rid of.
The Mckinley tariff, which the people
have twice condemned, is not yet changed
Its exactions in behalf of monopolies
continue to handicap industry and rot
consumers.
The condition of the treasury is little
changed. The Republican deficit still
impends. The banished gold is begin
ming to return, but it will take a Ions
time to get the 5000, 600, 900 of reserve and
surplus which the Democrats turned ovel
to the Harrison administration.
A change voted and change com

change decreed by the voters shall be
carried out, ask them how they like i

THE DORA RLUHM.
The Fight Over Her at Topoiobampo
Bay Still Drags On.

BAY St1ll DraRs Ous
The matter of the schooner Dora
Bluhm, that sailed from here last Novem-
Der, seems as far from settlement as ever,
as will be seen by the following Telegram
to the Seattle Telegraph
Surprising as it may seem the contest
over the ownership of the wrecked
schooner Dora Bluhm continues as holly
and stoutly as ever. More surprising
still it is known that one prominent fire
insurance company has paid $4,000 more
than the face of its policy to get possess
sion of the vessel. Those watching the
contest are asking the reason for all this
stubborn persistency. But ever since the
winters day in December last when the
Dora Bluhm ran her nose upon the reef
in Tobolobampo bay she has been fierce
ly fought over. When she sailed in
Mexican waters, cargo laden, the Under
writer's and owners agreed that she was
worth $25, 900. Something like that sum
has already been spent in the dispute
and settlement does not seem any near
er than it did six months ago. Shortly
after the vessel was wrecked Captain
Roger Walton sold her to Edward Lycan
for $1,000. Captain Walton says he
thought he was doing good thing at the
time, because it looked as if very little Of
the vessel would ever be pulled off the
reef. He succeeded in floating the YES
sci and getting her to dockage. Then
the trouble began.
The Mexican authorities seized the
vessel at the instance Of the underwriters
and owners and took her to Guaymas.
Lycan tried to get her back and got into
prison instead.
A lot OF litigation followed over the
possession OF the vessel and the impris-
onment of Lycan. Then he went to the
American consul with his grievances and
correspondence was commenced with
Washington city. Lycan then dropped
the international correspondence. He is
now here (San Francisco) in the state
courts pushing his claims to ownership.
The insurance companies have the tight
est grip on the schooner now through its
Mexican agents. The Fireman's Fund
insurance company has spent over $4,000
alone in the fight. Most Of the money
was consumed in official fees, tugs, dock
age and litigation.

A FEW LAST WORDS.

During the five years the HERALD has
been under its present management, ii
has been my endeavor to keep the per-
sonal pronoun, both the spirit and the
letter, out of the papers editorial columns.
For the first-and the last-time the i'm
personal must give way to the personal.
The editorial "we" yields, and l, as
editor of the HERALD, say goodbye to its
readers.
In running the HERALD as thought it
should be- run, l have, no doubt, made
some friends and some enemies, and I
would not willingly part with either. To
the enemies Of the HERALD wish to say
that trust they will transfer their enmity
from the paper to me.
Looking back over the five years,
have today only the sincerest and most
heartfelt thanks to give to the people OF
Aberdeen for the way they have stood by
this paper and it's editor. They have
backed up the HERALD manfully in its
numerous fights; and have, in a material
way, always given it as liberal support
as the times would permit.

The Shingle Weavers' Uuion is fighting

mills has made it necessity with some
to take work at almost the employers
terms. Union and non-union men are
cutting the regular scale of wages. Some
mills are still paying the full rates, but
in some of these instances the mill man
makes compromise by retaining a part
of the wages until collections can be

Deafne ss Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
