Thousands of American women

In order to keep the home neat

THINGS LOOK DIFFERENT.
ability of Gov. Johnson's
Nomination.

Washington, d. C.--Well informed
political observers who survey the
country from Washington have noted
for the Democratic nomination at DEM
yer within the last week. No SO very
long ago it was taken for granted that
Col. Bryan would be. nominated with :
practically no opposition--to-day it M

sofa has doomed up as the man be-
tween whom and Col Bryan the cop-
vention at Denver will have to choose.
Gray of Delaware, Olney of Massachu-
sets, and Harmon of Ohio, are no
longer considered in the running In
deed the suddenness in which the
Minnesota man has come to the front
is almost dramatic.
Reports pouring into Washington
from all parts of the country indi-
cate that the Johnson men have
without noise or publicity, in sections
of the country where they were not
supposed to be at work at all.
AS the situation stands to-day, prac-
tcally all of the New England, all OF
the eastern states, and large portion
of the southern states will send John.
son, or what is the same thing, prac-
tically, uninstructed delegates to Den
yer. Friends of Col. Bryan were some
what perturbed over reports drifting
into Washington regarding such
states as Utah, Colorado, Oregon,
Montana. Washington, Michigan, and
Kentucky. Reports are also coming
In that tremendous Johnson senti-
ment is appearing in Missouri, and a
large number of uninstructed, or John
son, delegates being sent up to the
Illinois state convention, revealing an
unexpected Johnson strength under
meath the surface All political OBJ
servers in Washington are agreed that .
there will be lively contest for the
nomination at Denver
1t is even claimed that two-thirds of
the delegates to the convention will
be unpledged, and such Democrats as
Representative John Sharp Williams.
Bourke Cochrane, Senator Culberson
and Senator Daniels, declare that the
DenYer convention will be a deliber-
ative body, which, before it nomin
ates, will consider the qualifications
of the aspirants and their prospects
of winning.
There is a feeling here that john
son as poor boy and a self-made man
with a romantic and even tragic life,
history, coming from an early life as
obscure and painful as Lincoln's, and
now risen to state power and national
fame-would make a candidate OF
such respect-commanding vote-getting
power that under his leadership the
Democracy would have a splendid
chance of winning.

A RECORD BREAKER.
Last Years Sales of Hyomei, the
Guaranteed Cure for catarrh,
Larger Than Ever.

The merits OF Hyomei the treatment
that cures catarrh without stomach dos
ing. its popularity and growth. are
unique in the annals OF medicine. So
pronounced is the relief and cure fol-
lowing the use Of this treatment that
it has been publicly recommended by
leading druggists and physicians in
nearly every State and town in the
country, with the result that last years
sales were larger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple and
complete, and that It cures by breathing
medicated air and not taking drugs into
the stomach, no doubt has helped te
create this widespread and rapidly in
creasing army Of friends.
The way in which it has been sold by
|T. F. Laurin has undoubtedly aided
greatly its introduction in Astoria. He
is such firm believer in the power Of
Hyomei to cure all catarrhal troubles
that he urges people to use it with the
understanding that the cost will be re-
funded to anyone who is not benefttes
by the treatment. You do not risk 9
cent in testing the healing virtues Q
Hyomei, for I. A. Laurin takes all thu
chances Of its giving satisfaction ant

THE ONE-MAN POWER.

One of the strangling and crushing
agencies that cities of the size OF AS
toria have to contend against is the
aone-man' power, exerted politically,
commercially, or along any given phase
Of action. The man, or the name OF a
man, potent enough to stall, baffie or
blind a community in the attainment OF
its highest objectives, is a menace little
considered, but tremendously effective
for defeat and disaster. Submission to
such dominance is tantamount to mega
ton, at once, pusillanimous, and weak
ening beyod all calculation.
The community that does not reserve
to itself the right to collectively assert
its own programs and acts and to free
dom from such handicap. is not worthy
the name Of town or city, since its
motives, efforts and bargains for pro
gress, are but the motives, efforts and
bargains of its master, whatsoever his
influence, prestige and presumptive right
to sway and say.
The trouble with such conditions is,
invariably. that the friendly allegiance
of a people once given to some wise
and friendly man or family, is latei
abused and turned to grossly selfish
ends, the man or men honored with such
confidence rarely remaining loyal and
square in their dealings; but gradually
yet surely, swinging the trust from the
level line of disinterestedness to down
right and supercilious dominance of th'
coarsest and most ungrateful kind.
There is nothing invidious in this
conclusion. It is simply warning note
sounded for the good of Astoria and al
other towns wherein it may be read. II
Is an evil that should be known and
guarded against all the time, here, and
everywhere, if there is the slightest
manifestation of its becoming operative

SAFETY OF THE ARMADA.

All America is alive with quivering
interest in regard to the safety of the
great feet now en- route from the At
lantic to the Pacific; and the slightest
intimation OF sisnger to men or vessels
rosises that il crest to something abb
normal. The word just sent up from
Rio Janeiro that there is well de-
veloped plot to dynamite one or more Of
the fine ships, unearthed in Paris and
attributed to anarchistic agencies, ia
startling upon the face of it, and the
country is slow to credit it; yet. remote
ss the possibility seems there is justi'
fcation for the deepest feeling Of un-
easiness. No man may say where the
ravening, maniacal tendencies of the
murderous brood of that cult will find
expression next, and exempt as the
United States has been from their
wretched acts, there is no such thing
as immunity; nor is it at all beyond
the rabid purview Of these degeneratea
to begin operations right there.
It is to be hoped the story may provt
canard; but if it does not, and tht
police of our great and friendly neigh
bor in the south, can reach the indi
vidllal scruffs of the pewerts set on T.
this horrible task, their immediate an
unquestioned death will add immensel.
to the obligation we shall be under fo
