If we buy the Greek navy, will w have to call on volunteer from Yale and Harvard, and Princeton to handle UT These young fellows, of course are up In Greek, but any of our aallor can handle the Latin aubjeeta (of Spain). The United State Is now (hipping steel rati to Russia as well as to Australia. recent announcement from Australia show that American builder were suc cessful In obtaining a contract for the delivery of a large lot of teel rails for wse In that country even against blJ coming from England and Germany, end now come reports that the now Siberiun railroad is to be metalled with American itecL The Omaha World-Herald (silver or gan). In a recent Issue, calls attention to the Improved conditions of the poultry and dairy business In Nebraska, and says: "Today the creamery Industry, with its attendant industry .Poultry and eggs, is muklng rapid sirl.lt forward. By degrees the western Nebraska farm er is learning to make the most of clim atic conditions and the time i near at hand when the drouth will have no fears for him." And all this magnificent Im provement Is happening without the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The strength and permanence of the business Improvement which followed the rejection of free coinage and the enact ment of the Dingley law, are shown by the fact that In the Important l!ne it move forward In the face of actual war condition. A recent dispatch from Pitts burg, commenting upon the condition of the Iron Industries, which are looked upon as an Important business barometer, say that the pig-iron output last month Is the largest in the history of the coun try, while reports from the iron mines of Lake Superior show great activity and prospects for the heaviest Ipjn produc tion ever known. Now that the public begins to see the fetalis of President MeKlnley' course tn the Spani.-h-Cuban matter, the action of those who have been making attacks upon him and his advisers because of what they assumed was an unwarranted delay. Is reacting In his favor. It Is now clearly seen that every minute of time occupied since the destruction of the Maine has been Judiciously and wisely utilized in preparing for war. It has been the constant cry of men In congress, and out of it. for years, that the country was entirely unprepared for war, and It Is not surprising that when the president and hi cabinet found the necessity for entering upon a war they recognized the importance of preparing the country for It as far as possible. The result is seen In the conditions which now exist, es pecially if they are contrasted with those of lxty days ago. The first evidences of Increasing pros perity In this community are seen in the results of the work of the Progressive as sociation and the movement on the part of Captain Hawkins of New York to es tablish at Astoria deep sea fishing. In response to the efforts of the Progressive association Industrial Agent Judson of the O. It. & N. Co. has started a he-tUhy growth In the Interest of Clatsop county farmers and merchants In the way of a dairying enterprise. The scheme will ! a co-operative one and will be so thor ough as to Include the scientific cultiva tion of grasses peculiarly adapted to this climute und particularly rich In the element of butter fats. If Captain Haw vlns finds all the conditions favorable. which up to the present writing are de clared to be so.' the greatest adjunct to the fishing business next to the salmon Industry will be added to our commerce. The completion of the railroad has made 1 It possible to 'develdp this special trade of handling fish In cold storage for east ern sea-board markets. A LIE NAILED. Mr. Frank I. Dunbar, the nominee for ecretary of state on the republican tic ket, ts a'.sound republican, preeminently qualified for the office. 1IU character for honesty and Integrity cannot he Im peached, nor would any one In this com munity, where he has lived so many years, give credence to any story that should be circulated agninst him, v are sorry to note In the Capitol Journal of Salem, of date May 3. an ar ticle against Mr, Dunbar, connecting him by Inurndo wlih the recent settlement of the account of the defaulting treasurer of Clatsop county. Nothing could be more unfair and un just. We believe Mr. Hofer, of the Jour nal, would not have published such an article If he hud first Investigated as to lis truth. For his ability as a business man and his well known probity and fairness Mr. Dunbar was selected to act as receiver f-r the concern of which Mr. Ward, tbe et-lreasuerer, was a mem ber. f,i well did he manage this trust that the county, on the day the amount was fixed by the court, received from Mr. Dunbar the full amount of the shortage with Interest. The eight years of continuous service In the recording and auditing offices of the county have made Mr. Dunbar so de servedly popular that he would have been unanimously renominated for the county elershlp had not the republican party called him as their candidate for a similar office for the state. It was announced at the head of the editorial column of the Capital Journal after the nominations that It wanted and would make a "clean campaign." Dies this article of May 1 look as though the Journal was living up to Its promise? No party organ ever pained any thing for its candidates by falsely accusing the candidates of the opposite pirty. I.les, like chlikens. in the end come h'me to root. INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. At the Geneva conference to arrange International disputes, there was stren uous advocacy on the part of the Inlted States and other powers In favor of the settlements of International difference 1 as to boundaries, port custom duties, Sat. .. fisheries and what not by an International I court and not by the bloody arbitrament J of war. The "qtit j'.lon has been mooted j Wed. '. and discussed over and over again. Hut lT.hurs like many other sublects, reasonable enough In their origin. It has died out of J Sun. men's minds. But there Is a theme of i J.,,n- comment, and that always favorable, I "ej ' which people never wear)- of talking j Thur's." about, and that Is the Incomparably fine effects of Hostetter Bitter In case of dyspepsia. Nor doe the world and his wife comment less favorably upon the excellent effect of the Bitters In case of chill and fever, rheumatism, nervous and kidney complaint and constipation. The golf umbrella Is one of the latest novelties. Healthy, happy children make better men and women of us all. A little care and a little planning before birth Is often more Important than anything that can be done after. On the mother's health and strength depend the life and the future of the children. A weak and sick ly woman cannot bear strong and healthy children. Most of the weakness of women is utterly Inexcusable. Proper care and proper medicine will cure almost any dis order of the feminine organism. Dr. Pl'-rce's Favorite Prescription has been tested in thirty years of practice.
