JOHN l.. SHARPSTEIN's conscience
pricks him so deeply that he is con-
strained to tender his resignation as a
member OF the Walls Walla Demo
cratic County Committee. Pity it
had not become a crown OF thorns be-
fore he accepted delegateship to the
national conclave from a State Con-
vention which demanded" the free
coinage OF silver, and he had in tina,
body persistently labored with the
goldbug effort to side-track that plank

False Prophesies.

Ihe or'loHira is a fair representa-
TIVE OF Republican journalism, and
the amount OF reliance that may lie
placed upon it i shown in its frantic
attempts and foolish methods to down
what it has time and again denome-
mated the " silver craze 1t has been,
the past year, asserting in almOs,
every issue that the people were aban-
duning their advocacy Of the silver
standard. This palpable falsehoOd
was reiterated up to the time of the
/ Chicago Convention and the irrepres
>ible will OF the people was manifested
in such unmlstakahle manner, despite
the hcrculean efforts of Goldhug Re-
puhlicans and the National Admin
stration and its following to side
! track it.
The same persistent attempt was
made hv papers OF its iik to bury the
/ Democratic party, at the close OF the
war. Broadsides in the Oregoaidn
were directed towards showing that
the Democratic party was dead. This
was the subject OF hOmily for years,
in season and out OF season, while the
party patiently plodded on till it elect
ed President in 1876, another in
1884, and still another in 1892.
Notwithstanding about all that pa
per's prophesies have failed to mater
ialize, it still assumes to be the oracle
on all matters Of public importance.
1t has again begun to assert that the
silver cause is waning, and will doubt
less keep it up till election day, while
everybody knows that there is no such
indication OF the political horoscope
and that not the slightest reliance is
to be placed upon any of its assertions.
1t would seem to be the proper
course for journal that has the cir
culation to justify an aspiration for
swaying a corresponding influence, to
carefully feel the popular pulse, to
closely weigh controlling influences,
and be enabled sometimes, at least, to
foretell political events. But like the
goat that butted the grindstone, it
seems determined to continue the con-
hict with eyes closed to the fearful
damage OF its own horns and skull.
Assertion, unless based upon a rea-
sonable hypothesis, is a waste OF words.
The only pre-eminence that may be
claimed by prominent journalists as
safe counsellors for those who would
shape their conduct by knowledge OF
probable success OF given cause, Is
that their position on the watch-tower
affords wider scope Of vision than is
accorded to less favored mortals. Like
the observer OF the weather bureau, he
NAV, by careful consideration oil
change of temperature, wind currents
and other meteorological conditions
make a reasonable prediction OF wealth
er prospects, but if, he prefers to follow
the plan OF the soothssyer, who de.
ponds upon fairgrounds or deck Of
cards for his inspiration, the imagina-
ton of the guide is likely to swerve
to the side of personal prejudice OF
preference, and very few are deceived
thereby when the method of calcula'
ton becomes known.

CATARRH MEANS DAN
GER.

Because If unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. This fact is
fully established Therefore, it is
useless to try TO cure catarrh by out
ward applications or inhalants. The
truo way to cure catarrh is to purify
the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
great blood purifier, cures caiarrh by
its power to drive out all impurities
from the blood. Thousands of people
testify that they have been perfectly
and permanently cured OF catarrh
Hoods SarsapariIla.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup OF Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It6 beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t Is therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but If In need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most general satisfaction
