WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

The Pendleton Tribune. one of the
staunch Republican papers of Eastern
Oregon, in commenting upon the sit
uation of business throughout the
country says:
"Despite the furry in breadstuffs the
general condition of business through
out the great manufacturing centers in
the east remain about the same. The
revival of business promised after jan
uary l, has not materialized. The
great improvement which appeared
last summer has not continued or been
revived. In the east the responsible
ity is charged to those who prevent
prompt action by congress. For the
nature of business is such that no &C.
lion at all does more harm for The time
than definite action in either direction
would do. With tariff pending and
passed by the house which would add.
Immediately upon its passage. large
percentage to duties on nearly all inn
ported goods, and especially on wool,
woolens and lumber, better prices and
larger transactions would be encour-
aged if there were prospects of it's pass
ing; but that is generally considered
SO doubtful, in view of the attitude of
some senators and the president, that
nobody is inclined to commit himself
any further than is unavoidable"
While this statement is not alto
gether true, for manufacturing indus
tries in many lines have shown a ma
terial Improvement since the first of
the year, who is responsible for the
slow revival of business industry?
From 1893 to 1895, when the Dem
ocrats had a majority in both houses
of congress, they were held responsible
by their opponents for the condition
of business, for the depression that ex-
listed in commercial and manufactur-
ing circles, and we were promised
revival of business as soon as the Re-
publicans should gain control of the
legislative branch Of the government.
This promised necessity to prosperity
has occurred, the Republicans having
an overwhelming majority in the house
and plurality in the senate, still the
Tribune tells US business does not re.
vive. And who is to blame? If re-
vision OF the tariff and an increase of
duties is all that is needed to revive
business, why do not the Republicans
give US the increase? That was what
they were elected to Go. The cry about
the danger of the president vetoing a
tariff bill is all hash. He has not said
he would or would not Why does not
congress pass tariff bill. and force
the responsibility of bringing the
promised prosperity upon the presi-
dent? We agree with the Tribune
that the uncertainty of what laws will
or will not be enacted has deleter-
ious effect on business generally; but
right now who is responsible for that
uncertainty?

Heavy Tax Levy.

Venezuela is right at our doors.
Lord Salisbury thinks that it is no
business of ours to interfere with move
ments there which England herself has
written down as conquests; and yet
England flies to arms at the suggestion
of the German Emperor that the Dutch
republic in South Africa should be in
dependent. 1t is little things like
this that wake the gayety of nations.
If it is true, as stated in the dis
patches, that an American citizen has
bren arrested by the Spanish authori-
ties at Havana and transported to
Ceuta without trial. it may hasten the
recognition by this government of the
Cuban insurgents as helligerents.
Such insults to the government shoud
be resented.

SHEDDS, Or, Jan. 30.-An attempt

The door was badly shattered, but the

been frightened from their work.
The room in which the safe was kept
was also used as the postoffice, but the

To Petition For Release.

WASHINGTON, June OLA written
request was filed in the State Depart
ment to-day that the good Offices of
the United States be eXerted with
Spain toward securing the transfer of
Julio SanguIlly from Havana to Mad
rid, there to be released ON bail or
parole until final action be taken on
appeal in his case. The paper was
signed by Manuel Sanguilly, brother
Of the prisoner, and Jose Rodriguez
who have been cooperating with the
Havana Council for the prisoner.
Sanguilly was convicted last Decem-
Der, and has been in prison pending
an appeal to the court as q last re-
sort at Madrid. 1t was through the
active efforts OF the authorities here,
supplemented by Consul General
Williams, that he was given a civil
trial on the charge of rebellion. He
was convicted und sentenced to I'M
prisonment for life. On another
charge of completely with Insurgents
in kidnapping he was acquitted.
His American citizenship figured
largely in the proceedings, but was
not decisive in securing his release.
Precedents are cited in the applioa-
ton submitted to the State Depart
ment. 1t is pointed out also that it
would be Of advantage to have the
prisoner before the court when the
case is heard, for under Spanish pro-
cedure, the court reviews not only the
law but the facts. Owing to man
favorable circumstances, it is believ-
ed the department will be disposed to
request in u c0Dcilatory and friendly
spirlt. that lenieDcy be shown the
prisoner.

FIAT

There is a cause for the marveliDg
OF the mckinley bosses over the
Mckinley tidal wave which is sweep
ing over the Republican party. 1t is
a craze for which no reasonable ex-
PLANTATION can be offered. -Four years
ago Mckinley was condemned almost
as vigorously by the republicans as by
the democrats. Members of his own
party admitted that he was a @one-
idea" extremist who could not be
trusted to direct legislation. McKin-
leyism was universally execrated as
the cause Of most of the voc mt
which the country was chen entering.
The democratic campaign, directed al
most wholly against the Mckinley
idea of protection, resulted in a land
slide.
Now this sentiment in the republic
can masses is reversed. Mckinley is
hailed as the deliverer Of the country
from the pinch Of hard times. His
name is associated with prosperity
Republican leaders who attempt to
combat the uprising are driven to the
wall. The Mckinley worshipers re-
fuse to listen to resaon. Their deyo-
ton is blind and fanatical.
The truth is that the blind devotion
to McKinleyism is founded ON u delu-
sive hope of fiat prosperity, born Of the
distresses of hard times. The McKin-
ley worshipers cherish the delusion
that in some mysterious way McKin-
ley's election will cause u complete
change of industrial and commercial
conditions. In the current language
Of this belief "the wheels Of factories
and mills will begin to turn, cold
chimneys will smoke, trade will re-
sumo and labor will find employment
at good wages" AS one of the repub-
lican bosses said with a sheer. give
minutes after Mckinley is inaugur-
ated the man who has goods to sell
will get 80 per cent more for them,
the laborer out of employment will
get an offer of a job Mt high wages
and the man who had a dollar will
find two in his pocket" Reason is
overthrown in n craze OF this kline.
All that WISE men can do is to await
the inevitable disappointment which
will re-establish her sway.-St. Louis

Nature Plants OF Negroes,

A writer in Progress Artistique, in
discussing the music of south Africa,
says the races living there possess to
an astonishing degree the faculty Of
assimilation and imitation. They re-
produce with surprising fidelity the
songs of birds, cries of animals and the
various sounds Of nature. Child. people,
they receive in their otherwise obtuse
brains impressions of freshness and
vivid intensity. Their long solitary
wandering upon hills and prairies, unit
ed with fleeing association with for
eigners, results in a species of melodic
nature plants, as one might imagine,
a developed monkey music.

FROM AN DID LETTER.
wherein Now York Society Il Criticized
by q PhiladelphIAn.

Wherein Now York Society L. Criticised
by . Philadelphian.
It must have been a sad day for our
grent-grandmothers in Philadelphia
when congress no longer assembled
there, and New York began to dispute
the social prestige of the Quaker city.
A celebrated Philadelphia belle of the
day, Miss Franks, writes of q visit made
in the rival city, and her quaint de-
scriptions Of New York society were
probably colored by jealousy for home
supremacy.
The letter, which is a possession of
n Brooklyn woman,a descendant Of the
observing writer, says, among other
things: "By the bye, few ladies here
know how to entertain company in
their own houses, unless they introduce
the card table. Except the ,Vah'Homes,
who are remarkable for their good
sense and ease, I don't know n woman
or girl who can chat above half an hour,
and that on the form of q cap, the color
of a ribbon, or the set of a hoop, stay
or jupon. I will do our ladies-that is,
the Philadelphians-the justice to say
that they have more ~cleverness in the
turn of an eye than those of New York
have in their whole composition. With
what ease I'have see q Chew, a Penn,
an Oswald, an Allen and a thousand
others entertain q large circle of both
sexes, the conversation, without the aid
q cards, never tagging or seeming in
the least strained or stupid. Here-or,
more properly speaking, in New York
you enter a room with a formal set
courtesy, and after the howdo's, things
are Finished; alps a dead calm till the
cards are introduced, when you see
pleasure dancing in the eyes of all the
nGtrons, and they seem to gain new life.
The maidens, if they have favorite
swains, frequently decline playing, for
the pleasure of making love; for to all
appearance it is the ladies. not the gen.
