view. tho Chilian Consul General at

My Government has declined to take

exhibit OF Chilian products Referring
to newspaper dispatches to the contrary
Mr.. Guerrero denounced the VAL
paraiso correspondent as unreliable.
In denying that . Government vessel
was en- route from Chilli with exhibits,
Mr. Guerrero said 1t would be long
time before any port In the United
states would see q Chilian warship.
The Chilians have not forgotten either
the ltata or the Baltimore incident or
how the Charleston steamed down
there. Why could not letter have been
sent by the President of the United

the Itata to return. They would have
sent her back and there would have
been no exhibition OF an attempt to
humiliate the Chilian Government She

was drunken fellow and accepted q
brioe OF $500 to let the ltata go.

The Question Of Revenues.

The fact that the Democrats have
begun to realize that the cxpendi-
lures Of the government cannot be
conveniently or safely cut far below
the present figures indicates that
they will soon begin to understand
that their programme OF tariff re-
vision Is beset with great difficulties.
As much money will have to be raised
in the next few years as Is necessary
now. Both parties have been guilty
Of extravaganza in creating or enlarg-
ing avenues of fixed expenditures,
and as 1t will be virtually impossible
to cut them down materially, they
will have to be met. OF course the
tendency In great and growing coun-
tries is always toward larger govern
mental disbursements Expenses
must necessarily increase even where
there is an earnest and intelligent
desire to economize, which, however,
there has not been in our case, and
this fact must be taken into the ac-
count by the people.

The Do-Nothins House.

The do-nothing character or ten
dency OF the majority in the House
has often been shown, but never
more strikingly than when the Dem
ocrats opposed the passage OF an order
requiring the attendance OF a quorum
In order that business might proceed.
The Democrats who control the
House seem entirely Indifferent as to
whether necessary legislation Is ac-
cOmpliShed or not.

Not Maxnanin,o,,s.

The Democratic newspapers that
are talking about Mr.. Cleveland's
"magnaninlity" in attending the OBJ
sequies OF ex- President Hayes are
talking nonsense. 1t was graceful
and kindly act. but it could not In
volye the slightest magnanimity. II
Mr.. Hayes had not been seated as
President, 1t is altogether probable
that the course OF political events
would have been entirely changed
and that Grover Cleveland never
would have emerged from obscurity.

The latest talk In Democratic cir.
cles ID to raise the internal tax on
beer. The Democrats are looking
around for additional taxes to keep
up with their extravagant ideas OF
running q government. Well, as long
as they tax only beer and whisky
they will pay the greater part of tho
taxes themselves, for the Democratic
party consumes most OF the alcohol.

established It by removing Ill duties
on teas, colfees, sugar, and 80 on.

AllegedtO Have Sold Wheat and Skipped
With the Funds.
D. S. Allison is the latest fugitive
from justice that left Oregon and has
come to grief in Kansas says the Mer-
curry. Some months ago Allison put in
an appearance at The Dalles. He
claimed to represent some kind of an
agricultural implement house, but after
ward went to work for the county sur
veyor. Becoming acquainted with the
Sharp brothers, who live near The
Dalles, he worked himself into their
good graces and was trusted by them to
dispose of S67 bushels of wheat.
He did it, and pocketing the proceeds
went east without giving any one an
intention of his purpose. The Sharp
brothers informed Sheriff Ward and al
last the man was located in Oklohoms
two weeks ago. A warrant was issued
and the necessary papers secured for hi
return to Oregon, but before the officer
started east the discouraging news came
that the Oklohama's officials had los
1 their man. A few days later Allison
was again located. This time in Witch
ita, Kansas, and there he is now, safe ii
ljail, awaiting the arrival of Deput,
Sheriff Phirman, who started after hin
on Thursday. Allison has a wife an
children living at Blue Rapids, Kansa:
and had been in Oregon but shol
time. before leaving the state SO al
ruptly. The charge against him is lal
ceny by bailee and Waeco county jur
