What a spectacle it would be if
the Oregonian wo1ld support the
prohibition candidate for congress in
the Second district, and yet such
action would not be surprising,
since MoKercher, the candidate in
question, has intimated that he
would be guided by the views of
the Oregonian regarding the cur
rency question. To support the
prohibition candidate or a gold
standard man under different cir
cumstances might be a-proper thing,
but not when it places in jeopardy
the election of man who regularly
nominated by Republican state
convention, is pledged to work and
vote for the principles of protection.

A PLAIN DUTY.

The stories that come from Cuba
read like some dark tale of the Mid
die Ages, when the minds of men
were narrowed by ignorance and
bigotry and the human heart lost to
the feelings of mercy which refn-
ing civilization brings. Every day
comes news of Spanish outrages. In
forty-eight hours twenty prisoners
were executed because they were
guilty of aiding or sympathizing
with the struggle for independence.
General Cap'pos was recalled be-
cause his policy was considered too
humane, and in his stead was sub
stituted general whose chief quail
fication was his reputation for savage
butchery.
Meanwhile tie information is
given out that no offer of mediation
and no notice of intervention of any
character has been made by the
United States government to Spain,
and none will be made at present.
This action of President Cleveland's
is taken in face of the public declar-
alton of congress that such offer of
mediation should be made upon the
part Of this government. Legally
the president is not bound by the
action of congress, since the resolu-
tion is considered an expression of
opinion merely, and not dictate of
procedure; but morally, in view of
the course Spain has pursued and the
feeling existing among the American
people, the president should extend
an offer of friendly services to settle
a war that blots the page of Nine
teenth century civilization.
Such a tender would not involve
this country in any foreign compli
cation for which we are lily prepared
1t would simply say to the world
that the principles for which oul
revolutionary fathers fought anc
died still continue the choice treas
ures of the American people; tha
the righJ of liberty and self govern
ment is conceded to any people
oppressed as the Cubans are, anC
that this nation, rich and great as i
now is, remembers the time when
like Cuba, it was weak and oppressed
This course of President Cleye-
land is simply in line with his forme
actions in matters of like import,
notable example of which was hi
expressions of hostility to the re
publican government of Hawaii
Great as were the provocations til
Intelligent people of Hawaii had

consideration of enlightened Amer
lea.

a FAMILY CURSE.
IN Seems to Have Held On for More Tha
Century.

IN Seems to Have Held On for More Than
Century.
For more than 100 years, 1t was said,
fatal spell hung over the Goldsmids.
Toward the close Of the 18th cen.
tury there died in London the Rabbi
de Falk, who enjoyed high reputation
as seer. He left to Aaron Goldsmid, q
neutrality-suspicious. of the late
member for ST. Pancras, sealed packet,
with injunctions that it was to be care
fully preserved, but never opened. The
old Dutch merchant who founded the
branch of the Goldsmid family in this
country was warned that as long as
his order was obeyed, SO long would
the Goldsmids flourish like q young
bay tree. If 1t were disregarded, ILL
fortune would for all time dog the foot
steps Of the race. Aaron Goldsmid left
the packet inviolate for some years.
One day, curiosity becoming ungovern-
able, he opened it. When his servant
came to call him he was found dead.
Aaron Goldsmid left a large portion Of
his fortune to two sons, Benjamin and
Abraham. These went into business
on the London stock exchange, and vast
ly increased their patrimony. Benja-
min founded naval college and per-
formed many acts of less known gener-
osity. He lived long, but the curse Of
the cabalist overlook him. Enormous
ly rich, the delusion that he would die
pauper fastened upon him, and to
avoid such conclusion of the matter,
he, on April 5, 1908, being in his 55th
year, died by his own hand. Two years
later his brother Abraham, being con-
cerned in ministerial loan Of e 4,000,-
900, lost his nerve, blundered and
bungled, sank into condition ofhelpless
dependency, and on September 2s,
was due from him, he was found dead
in his room.
The fortunes of the family were re-
stored by Isaac Goldsmid, nephew of
the hapless brothers and grandson Of
the founder Of the English house. Like
all the Goldsmids, Isaac was q man Of
generous nature and philanthropic
tendencies. With him it seemed that
the curse of the cabalist had run its
course. It is true that before he died
he lapsed into O. state of childishness.
But he had at the time passed the limit
of age of fourscore years, after which
as one of the kings of his race wrote
centuries back, mans days are but
labor and sorrow. Isaac Goldsmid was
succeeded in his fortune and his baron
etcy by his son Francis, on whom the
curse of the cabalist seemed to fall when
he was fatally mangled between the
engines and the rails at Waterloo sta
tion.-H. W. Lucy, in "From Behind the
Speakers Chair"

WOULD NOT CUT HIS HAIR.
Marshal Canrobert Refused to Obey the
Army Regulations,

harShal Canrobert Refused to Obey the
Army Regulations,
It was q singular fact that the late
Marshal Conrobert, the last of the
French marshals, offered in himself a
constant example OF the violations Of
the regulations of the army in which he
was so conspicuous an officer. Through
out almost the whole of his military
service Canrobert wore long hair flow
ng down his shoulders, and this hair
was sort of orifamme to the soldiers.
But ever since the year 1888 the French
army regulations have positively re-
luired that every officer and soldier
shall wear closely cut hair, without
my tufts, curls or ringlets whatsoever"
md severe penalties are provided for
persistence In letting the hair grow
long.
Canrobert had q profuse mass Of hair
which he was very proud of. 1t was
cropped to his great grief when he went
INTO the military school of st. Cry in
1926, but when, as q young officer, he
went into the Algerian war in 1885 he
profited by the relaxation of many reg
ulations there to let his hair grow down
his shoulders again. Several years later,
also, in Algeria Col. Canrobert, bare
beaded, led heroic charge at Zaatcha
and his long floating hair, in the thick
Of the combat, served as rallying sign
10 the zouaves as they swarmed through
the breach. After this war Canrobert's
head of hair had already become so fa-
nous that no superior ventured to COM
mand him to cut it off, though Gen.
Pelissier, who hated him, once called
him professor" in q cafe in Paris, and
by way Of excuse affected to have mis-
aiken him for doctor Of philosophy oD
account Of his hair.
The emperor Napoleon III. did once
venture to demonstrate with Canrobert
for wearing long hair. The marshal's
response was very "Frenchy."
"Sire," he said, tiny hair belongs to
historyi"
He did not cut it off. It foated all
through the French and German war,
becoming legendary among the soldiers.
Long since it became snow white and
fell upon the old marshal's shoulders
in his declining days, and it clustered
about them as his body lately lay in
state in Paris.-London Tit-Bits.
