THE sentiment of the people of the
United States would uphold the president
in any decided position he might take
agaist England in the Nicaraguan affair.
The Nicaraguans have gained the sy1npa-
thy of the citizens of this country by
their bold and determined attitude against
the bullying demands of Great Britain
and it strikes the average man that Mica
ragua has the equity OH her side. Eng
land demands that an indemnity of $75,-
oco for the expulsion of Counsul Hatch
Nicaragua denies England right to exact
this, but proposed to settle the trouble
by arbitration, the us--al modern methods
of settling disputes between nations.
of this government, England would have
acquiesced in such proposal, but as is her
wont, in dealing with weaker countries,
England rides the high horse, sets her
attempting the collection of the amount
by force. Admiral Stephenson has taken
possession of Corinto and proposes to
raise the indemnity from the customs.
He seems. however, that the, government
at Colon has out-maneuveredt the English
by declaring Corinto closed port, thus
practically preventing the passage OF
goods through that port If England's s
demand is just, she should have no hesi-
fancy in submitting the matter to arbi-
traitors from other nations. Mr. Cleve-
land has already notified England that
this county would not allow her to ac-
quire any territory in South American
republics, nor overthrow existing govern
ments, but the temper of the United
States is such that, should the present
administration at Washington refuse to
interfere in Nicaragua's behalf in case
England declared war against her on any
pretext, indignation against Mr.. Cleve-
land and his cabinet would run riot.
There is no danger of war should the
United States demand Glands off, from
England. Johnny Bull is not seeking a
conflict with this country. He would

0REG0N,S NAVAL FAMESAKE.


Our state has been honored in the
selection of the name of the new battle
ship ''Oregon." 1t is one of the finest
vessels i'll the United States navy. Bat
tleships are named after the several states,
and as there has been but small number
built, but few states have secured the
honor of being represented i'll the navy
by floating numesakes. It has been tie
custom for each of the several states to
recognize the compliment by presenting
the vessel, bearing its name, with some
suitable souvenir, usually in the form of
a silver service. Oregon should not be
behind her sister states, and from the
interest already taken III the matter there
is assurance that she will gracefully ac-
knowledge the honor by Il suitable gift
to the new battlcship. The governor has
appointed a committee of seven to devise
means for the securing of the proposed
memento, and when the Oregon" steams
into the Columbia, as it shortly will, she

citizens and officials of the state, who,
with appropriate ceremonies, viii give
her proper warrant for bearing her noble

anyone. 1t should not be difficult for the
committee to raise the needful money
and, as soon as the committee let the
people know what is wanted, they will

A Terrible ViSitant.

Pain is always a terrible vistant and often
domicles itself with one for life. This in
Fiction is preventable, in cases of rheuma-
tism, by timely resort to Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which checks the encroach-
ments of this obstinate and dangerous NAL
ady at the outset. The term dangerous"
is used advisedly, for rheumatism is always
liable to attack the vital organs and termi-
nate life. NJ testimony is more conclusive
and concurrent than that of physicians who
testify to the excellent effect of the Bitters in
this disease. Persons incur wetting in
rainy or snowy weather, and who are ex-
posed to draughts, should use the Bitters as a
preventive Of i'll effects. Malaria, dys-
pepsa, liver and kidney trouble, nervous.
ness and debility are also among the all
ments to which this popular medicine is
adapted. For the infirmities, soreness and
stiffness of the aged it is highly beneficial.

THE accident on the o. c. & E. Mon
day calls attention to the unfortunate
condition the road is now in. Onaccount
of the pending appeal, the property is
outside the jurisdiction of the lower
court and the appellant court has no au-
thority to act in reference to the road S
management. The purchasers are in
doubt as to whether they will eventually
obtain possession and title to the pre-
perty. On account of the complicated
condition of affairs it has become a mat
ter in which the general public has a
deep interest. The future'of the road as
we'll as the territory through which it is
operated depends largely upon the early
settlement of the case. No time should
be lost by the parties in interest in secur.
ing hearing of the cause at the soonest
possible date.
