Cbauneey M. Depew, representa-
tive Republican, in speaking on the
silver question, said: "The question OF
free coinage is not taken seriously in
the eastern states. It is not men,
toned in politics; it is not discussed in
the papers. ] will venture to say that
SO per cent of the people in the east
are in favor of the gold standard with
ont apology. Where the issue of sill
yer coin is thought about at all, it is
merely that it is all right for one to take
it up as hobby if he has time" Mr..
Depew only echoes the sentiments of
nine-tenths of Republi cans every where,
and the traditions of the party have
been so unequivocal on this point that
it is not at all probable it will form a
plank in the platform of 1896. Neither
Is there any reason to believe that it
will be the doctrine of the national
Democracy at that time, for the lead
ing men of that organization are in
favor of single standard. In the
next presidential campaign the hobby
lists, silverites and believers in the ini-
titiave and referendum and other i'm
practicable notions, will flock to the
Populist camp, and the two great
parties will 60 before the country on
the issues that have divided them in
the past, and will continue to do so for
a long time.

Giant Powder Explosion.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., April 3-Frank Clark
and man named Mcclure are dead as
the result of yesterdays explosion OF
giant powder in the ONO mine. and
James NewIand, foreman of the mine, is
seriously injured.
Clark and Mcclure arrived here from
Boulder, Colo, a few days ago, and bad
only worked three shifts in the mine
The explosion was caused by a miner
knocking his lighted candle into box
of powder, causing it to ignite, and the
burning powder communicated with Eve
boxes of caps, which exploded, causing
three other boxes of powder to explode
The men killed were working in the
inside drift, and when the alarm was
given started for the mouth of the tunnel,
and just as they reached the point oppo-
site the burning powder In the main
tunnel the explosion occurred, killing
them Instantly. Foreman Newlsnd was
few feet behind them, and had not
reached the main tunnel, aud owes his
life to this circumstance. Had the three
men remained in the drift where they
were working, probably all would have
been saved and but slightly injured.

4 NOTABLE EVENT.

The celebration of Prince Bismarck
eightieth birthday today will be a
grand event with the German people
all over the world. In Germany 1t
will be generally observed as holiday,
and the enthusiasm of the people will
be manifested in many different ways.
United Germany is the pride of the
people of that country, and those who
love faderland consider this as the cul-
mination of the dreams of patriotism
for long ages. This was accomplished
through the efforts of the great states
man, and while republicans can have
no sympathy with the underlying prin-
ciple of monarchies, every student of
history must acknowledge that Bis
mark built we'll and wisely. As it
was before his premiership Germany
could not offer that solid front against
attacks from the outside it now can,
and in the consolidation of the princi-
palities into one empire there is a
grand stimulus given to the patriotism
of the people. Those who before the
union clustered their ideas of home
and country in the little provinces
which gave them birth, now view the
empire with feelings of pride and ex-
ultation, and faoerland, covering as it
does large domain, is much worthier
of devotion and admiration. This has
been the life work of him, the anniver-
sorry of whose birth is being commemo.
rated by Germans in every land today,
ard the event will have its greatest
in the growth and pros
perity of the German people under the
union through the efforts of him who
was born eighty years ago. The task
was a most difficult one, but it was AZ
principally by him whose
heart and brain were given for his
and who is now receiving the
plaudits of admiring millions.

When Q years old an attack of scarlet
fever left her apparently dead. She was
prepared for the grave and the coffin had
been lowered, when the frantic mother
refused to be quleted until she saw her

values have deprecated, wages have
been lowered and margins in trade
have decreased, and it will be difficult
to replace these in their former con-
ditions. Whatever revival in business
may take place, men must be satisfied
in making more sales and less profits
than we're made before the depression
began. Wages will continue low, and
will never, perhaps, reach the figures
they were before the selection of 1892.
AS the country is developed and pop
ulation increases, property will appre-
ciate. and, very likely, will rise in
value over what it had reached in the
past. Four years ago the United
States was country with protection
economic policy; but for the past two
years it has changed to a free trade
basis, and different systems of business
must be studied and followed. For
tunes will be made, but they will not
be accumulated SO quickly, and will re-
quire greater effort. The thrifty will
prosper; but this will be done by the
exercise OF greater economy than was
practiced during the good old times.
As a metter of course the indolent
will suffer, and to a more intense
degree than formerly. Conditions
have changed, and will continue so.
Business will revive; hut the revival
will not re,nstate the old rules that
were followed few years ago. Peo-
pie must be satisfied with the present
status, and adapt themselves to cir
cumstances as they exist. If there is
a restoration to the old regime it will
take place slowly, and not until a Re-
publican congress and Republican
president have enacted and approved
laws which will take the nation out of
the free trade muck and mire in which
Democracy has plunged it during the
past two years.

The Runner Denied.

WASHINGTON, April "A vigorous
denial is made in administration circles
of the story that Secretary Gresham is
about to resign. The secretary himself
will not be interviewed, net caring to
dignity the report by denial. 1t is a
fact that the secretary has been in ill
health for some time, and recent attack
of neuralgia of the stomach left him
much debiltsted. He has been unable
to secure rest 10 Washington owing to
the frequency with which delicate snd
embarrassing diplomatic questions have
been forced upon him, and 1t is probable

OUR WOOL MARKET.

It has been well known fact for
many years that The Dalles is the
largest wool shipping point, direct from
producers, of any in the northwest,
and the amount of wool handled every
season will average between three and
: and five million pounds. The latter
figure has been reached during one or
more years, and the receipts have
rarely, if ever, fallen below the for
mer. Buyers in this city have always
paid higher price for the product
than has been paid elsewhere, because
of the superior shipping facilities and
the fessible routes of reaching this
market. The coming season the roads
will be in much better condition than
heretofore, and several difficult places
will be improved. Mr.. J. III. Sherar
will finish the grade around Current
creek hill, and will also make good
road at the place near Bakeoven
that has rendered freighting quite
difficult. With these improvements
made, and they will be completed be-
fore the shearing season begins, The
Dalles will be the most available
market for large region of country
from which last year portion of the
wool clip was hauled to Heppner.
Sheepmen can realize that it is to |
their advantage to haul their wool |
to this market, as they receive
a higher price for the clip, and
have facilities for shipping either
by water or by rail. These ad-
vantages will be appreciated by wool
growers, who desire to make as large
profit as possible out of the business
With location, good roads to the IN
terror and river ard rail transportation
the wool trade of this city has largely
increased in the past few years, and,
In the future, when the advantages are
more fully known, this city is destined
to control large portion of the clip
which now seeks a market elsewhere.

WASHINGTON, April 4-Forty thousand

Havana and the different provinces. The
presence of these troops IS said to be nee
essary because of the difficulty of finding
insurgents. The latter are carving on
a guerilla warfare. They are said not to
exceed 5000 at the utmost. The insur>
gents find refuge in the mountains
whenever pursued by Spanish troops, and

CHANGED CONDITIONS.

There is brighter outlook for bust
ness in oil portions of the country,
and the confidence of the people is
being restored. This is very hopeful,
and it is to be expected that the worst
depression In trade has been expert
enced. In the future, it is very
likely, there will be steady improve
ment in all branches of trade, and that
q change for the better has oegun. But
