thanks for all his blessings, and with
exactly as much reason.
But now the wars are over and the
Dingley tariff will do us positive harm.
By our course with China that country
has boycotted American goods. Ger
many refuses to buy our meats even
carrying it so far that her people are
eating horse meat. France and Eng
land take our products grudgingly.
To hold our foreign markets the Ding
ley tariff must give way and broader
effect must be given to the doctrine OF
reciprocity. Only in this way can a
mutual trade relation be maintained
with all the world. Our Industries and
our raw products need no protection
They have ceased to be infants and
have become lusty adults. To continue
to pamper and fatten them by a pro.
tective tariff is like three year old
steer sucking it's mother. When we
call for an open door for our trade in
China and Japan and Germany we must
think little about an open door at
home. These ideas are rapidly gain.
ing ground in America. They are the
ideas of President Roosevelt, of Cover.
nor Cummins and others, of the truest
and best elements of citizenship.-Os.

WALT BUTLER EDITOR.

Announcement is made that Walter
H. Butler will become the editor of the
Democrat-Chronicle beginning Oct. 4.
The Democratic Chronicle is the only
democratic paper in Des Moines. 1t is
owned by II. NJ. Belvel, the democratic
member of the state voting machine
commission.
Mr.. Butler has long been prominent
in Iowa politics. He was congressman
from the fourth district during one
term.
In announcing the addition of Mr..
Butler to the editorial force of his
paper, Mr.. Belvel says:
1T is hoped the members of the party
here and elsewhere will show their
appreciation of this additional sacrifice
of time and energy in behalf of the
principles for which they stand, on the
part of Mr.. Butler and of the enterprise
on the Chronicle by placing
their names upon our list and thus

Butler is one Of the brightest men in
the state of Iowa, and his paper will be

The Massachusetts committee of one
hundred on reciprocal trade, composed
of prominent republicans, has issued a
call to republican voters to join in de-
handing plank in the coming republi-
can state platform, favoring a revision
of tariff. Republican voters are asked
to forward a petition to the convention
to insert the following in the platform:
"We demand that hides, coal, iron ore,
lumber and wood pulp be placed by
congress on the free list, and that
duties upon manufactured and other
articles be reduced whenever existing
duties are higher than are needed for
any just purpose of protection.

Decatur county citizens will vote on
a proposition to issue bonds for the
erection of new court house. The
election will be held on the 9TH of
November. From this it is evident
that even the Titus amendment cannot
prevent an election in that county this
year. The habit of voting every Novem-
Der is so strong on Decatur county
people that they originate ways and
means when the ordinary campaign is
not on.-Corning Union Republican.

Deposits in the state and savings
banks of Iowa have increased in the
past thirteen months more than $22,-
100000. During the last three months
the deposits in these institutions have
increased more than $5,0OO,OO0. This
remarkable showing was officially made
by Auditor of State Carroll in his state
ment summarizing the reports of the
44S savings and 253 state banks made to
him and including their conditions at
the close of business Aug. %. Deposit
ors now have more than $151, 100000 in
these 781 institutions. 1t is estimated
that the deposits in the national and
private banks and loan and trust com
panies will amount to as much more.

DON'T DISTRESS YOURSELF.

Panama has not enjoyed revolution
in Il couple OF years, and, according to
old calendars, it is about time for six
men and three loaded rifles to make
for the mountains, declare the COVERT
ment is anathema and incidentally lift
a few cattle.
The complexion of affairs has changed
however Since President Roosevelt
turned his back for a moment, somebody
said 'Presto Chang!" and he wheeled
about to give his Bless you, my child
rem" benediction on the new republic OF
Panama. Affairs have changed in that
the party in power, the conservatives
feel that they have the Washington ad'
ministration back of them morally, willy
nilly. and they feel 80 strong in their
grip on the power that no six men max
ing off TO the mountains can kick up any
rumpus worth administration notice.
Our special correspondent in Panama
saws that it is no small sized rumpus
that is being raised by the liberals, or
outs" for if given a chance to cast
their ballots at the coming election they
will outvote the administration ten to
one.
The liberals insist that intimidation
and violence will be- used TO prevent an
honest election, and they ask Mr. Roose-
yelt. How about that square deal prom
ised US! and is it square" to snow the
conservatives such favor that they are
encouraged to take the great majority
of Panama citizens by the throat and
stihe public protest!
Very interesting queries. Especially
so as il is intimated that failing an
answer the mountains are not far off,

THAT POLICE COMMISSION.

Despite the Budgets sole, and labored,
treatise on the local political situation
the other day, wherein it laid down the
fallacious doctrine that the city police
commission was not the agency to regu-
late and control the criminal element
of the city through its policemen, but
that such matters were to be left to the
offices of the District Attorney and the
Sheriff, We must again urge the expedi-
ency of electing John W. Babbidge and
w, C. Laws to that commission, for the
one and express purpose of putting the
direction of police matters in the hands
of men who know their duty and will
do 1t. To date the police commission
has paid but little attention to its
work or the men who were doing it
supposedly under the regulation and
sanction of the board. The Police Com

JUST AS 1T STANDS.

The Astorian here and now makes
open and definite proclamation that it
stands for the entire Republican ticket
without exception: 1t desires to see
every man upon that ticket elected and
will work faithfully to that end, with.
out faltering. favor or qualification
whatsoever. 1t would rather see the
whole ticket defeated than one of its
personnel defeated by any dickerina
swapping or selling out. That's where
the Astorian stands in this campaign,
and its best hope is that the same
Straightforward policy possesses every
Republican voter in the city. The men
named are good men and are entitled
to the fullest consideration Of the elec-
tors, one with another and the safety
and reputation of the City of Astoria
depends upon its full and unquestioned
success at the polls on December 18th.

of defeat, or disappointment, or loss, or
some other lugubrious element that en-
ters into human affairs, and in Difference
to the foolish, but popular, superstition.
we have been reading the Stars lately
with view TO determining the nature
of the disaster that is To ensue here on
the 18th of next month; and careful
analysis of the stellar signs confirms Us
in the conclusions we had already come
to. namely, that the Democrats are des-
tined to lose the municipal fight, lock,
stock and barrel. We are grieved to
make this announcement SO soon, but
it is done on the kindly pretext of pre-.
pairing our friend, the enemy, for the
certainty they cannot escape. 1t may
be taking a somewhat mean advantage,
under the circumstances, but the abso-
lutte demonstration of the truth of the
premise will 90 a long ways toward
mitigating the blow to those on whom it
shall fall, as well as comforting the Re.
publicans whole lot. So mote it be.
