THE UNEXPECTED DISCHARGE OF
A CANNON

Close by would not have a more dis
turtbing effect upon the nerves which
are vigorous, than an ordinary noise
upon those which are weak and un-
strung. AS a nervine, Hostetters
Stomach BNters is unrivalled. By pro-
moting digestion and assimilation they
overcome that gastric disorder, which
is the most prolific cause of nervous
debility, and which, so long as it exists,
defeats in a large measure the action
of sedatives and opialtes. Such RENE
dies, moreover, necessitate the use of
increasing doses, and finally cease to
act altogether, except in dangerous
quantities. They never reach the foun-
tain head of the trouble, and quiet the
nerves only by semi-paralyZing. them.
Equally Objectionable are fiery unmedi-
Gated alcoholic stimulants. Kidney,
bladder and liver trouble, malaria, con-
stipation, and rheumatism are relieved
by the Bitters, which also promotes
appetite and nightly repore.

The prediction of shrewd old John
Jacob Astor is about to be fulfilled. The
city of Astoria, oregon, is about to
become the greatest seaport and me-
tropolis of Northwestern America.
It's location and resources have at.
tracted the attention of capital, and 1t
is today the best field for the invest
ment of money, brains and muscle on
the American continent
This Largest civilized city in the
world without railroad" is to exper-
ience the impetus of a connection in
different directions with two of the
greatest continental railway systems.
Astoria's harbor advantages (the
best on the whole Pacific COAST are
now understood and appreciated; its
fishing interests (already paying to the
hands employed in the salmon canneries
alone over s25O,OOO of wages each
month"; are to be augmented by the
investment of outside capital and the
erection of large and latest improved
plants. The immense forests Of Ore
gon pine surrounding the city are TO
be converted into lumber for the AUS
tralian. Chinese, Japanese. and South
American markets.
The great coal fields within a few
miles of the city are to be Immediately
opened and the product thereof shipp-
ed in every direction.
A dairying region unsurpassed in the
whole world is to be opened up and
afforded an outlet to market.
A harbor, better than that of San
Francisco, and the only one with this
exception on the more than two thous-
and miles of Pacific coast, is to be
supplied with increased dockage and
cOallnB IdclnLleS, anu HnihenSe gram
elevators win be built to store and load
the wheat of the Columbia basin direct
ly on the merchant fleets of the world.
Astoria offers openings for many new
industries, namely, grist mills, saw
mills, paper mills, stave, box, barrel
and tub factories. show case works,
sash and door factories.
There will be room for many live.
energetic and wide-awake men and
women with or without money. All
inquiries promptly answered. Papers
and data supplied on application.

The silver Movement In the West

4 The silver Movement In the west
The interview with Secretary Morton,
reported In Sundays papers. and the
| sound-money movement now going on IN
| Illinois have results which are little ex-
| pected by the men who are engaged In
| those movements.
MIR. Cleveland declined to accept an In
] vitation TO attend in Chicago gather
| ing lin the interest OF sound money ana
wholesome financial doctrine" on the
| ground that the prophecies OF his Of
fetal place obliged him to forego the en-
| joyment Of participating In the occasion.
However. we are rot left In the dark as
| to what the President thinks OF the
sound-money movement In Illinois. for
| he proceeded 20 point out what he
thought the friends OF such money ought
n do. We acknowledge that we do not
understand how MIR Cleveland could find
any reason for not attending the Chicago
soun1-money convention. when would
not prevent him from writing letter
setting forth his creed on the subject to
be discussed by that convention. but that
Is none OF our business at present.
though the President may be charged
with aspiring to third term IN the
presidential chair. If he thus aspires, his
letter indicates no disposition on his part
10 modify his financial views for the oc-
CASTOR.
But Mr. Cleveland's letter unmistaka-
bly, warns the silver men that he VIII
allow no bill to become law during
his administration which shall provide for
the free coinage Of silver at ratio OF
ls to I. The outlook is not promising
one TO the Democrats. However, they
must be wise as serpents ard harmless
as doves. 1t is said to be unwse to at
tempt to cross a stream before you come
TO II. With President denouncing free
coinage. and a congressional delegation
favoring that measure. the Democrats OF
Virginia must exercise great prudence in
their movements.
An international bimetallic conference
could soon remove all the impedlments
which lie in the path towards free coin
age. But, alas. there is no sign given
from the White House that the President
will consider himself bound TO appoint
delegates TO any such convention under
the resolution which is regarded by The
bimetallsts as authorizing him so to do.
Let us remember the experience Of 1874.
In 1910 the Wings swept the country.
They carried nearly all the States. In
1914, the Democratic party put up James
X. Polk. n new man, on a new platform.
and elected him over the great Harry of
the West. Let us hope that this one.
single question of the free coinage Of sill
yer is not going TO divide the Democratic
party hopelessly in 1895.
