male bird brings her food from the

II she wants to 60 out and take n
swim. The lady penguins grow so fat
and sleek under the good care OF their
faithful mates that they are eagerly

ONE BUGBEAR REMOVED.

The hideous bugbear of an illimita-

sensible action of John Mitchell, the
controlling genius of the miners fed
Grafton. Mitchell has always been
deemed one of the levelest headed men
in the ranks of organized labor i'll the
world and his claim for sagacity will
in no wise be impaired by his decision
of yesterday. The operators have met
him in ready good faith in the premise,
and the miners themselves are jubilant

but little of the vital points in an i'm

which they are always cognizant, being
the inevitable advance in the price OF
that home staple; but, like the printers
Of the nation. the coal miners have an
organization that means something
when it strikes. and the brains to Ne

are made, even if they do cover the
entire ground of demand. The country
will draw a grateful breath Of intense
relief at the outcome.

TWENTY NINE DAYS YET.

There are but twenty nine days Of
campaigning time before the partisan
hosts of Clatsop. As yet there seems
to be no indication of the primary
battle for office. A careful review Of
the situation, all over the county, shows
that the Republican strength is unim-
paired and wholly devoted to the
issue of complete victory. No chal-
lenge has been heard; no slogan Of de-
fance has been hurled into the arena !;
the leaders are quietly guaging the
conditions and measuring the field, and
the battle, as such, will be of short and
decisive duration, and unequivocally
end in the election of every Republican
aspirant in the county, and contribute
its quota to the decisive victory Of the
same ticekt throughout the State. This
is absolutely essential for the rehabili-
tation of the party in Oregon. Once it
is achieved, the odd and rough and
varied causes for disaffection will dis
appear for good and all, the prestige
and sway of the dominant party will
be made permanent and of universal
advantage to the people.
