determined on an armed display by an in- vitation to Dr. Jameson to come to their aid if necessary.
 They, however, during the existence of the reform government placed themselves under the Transvaal flag and upheld the independence of the republic and advised Dr. Jameson return.
 Counsel pointed out that. owing to pre- vious rebellions of the burghers them selves, local laws had heen passed provid- ing for 800 rixdollars fine for treason.
 The state attorney, however. was ex- tremely relentless in his address. urging the severest sentence possible, and Judge Gregorowski sentenced Hammond, Phil lips Rhodes and Farrar to be hanged and remaining 70 to be imprisoned for two years, to pay a fine of $500. or in default of payment an extra years imprisonment and to undergo three years Imprisonment.
 The Argus says:
 "The awful sentences will create a pain ful sensation throughout the civilized world "
 Hammond was accompanied by Dr. Soholtz, his medical adviser and his fami- ly. as 1t was feared a relapse might take place.
 Accordingly the doctor was in attend anoe when sentence was passed. but Ham, mond bore up like his comrades, courage ously.

Two officers. Lampe and Schmidt, and four troopers were kill ed, but natives numbering 600 were de- feated, with loss of 4b.
 1t is alleged the natives were we'll sup piled with modern rifles by British traders on the east and Portuguese on the north.

Clement, assistant consulting engineer of the Consolidated Gold Fields Mining company; ]. s. Curtis, wealthy i mining engineer, who is well known in New York and Mir. Lswley. They were each sentenced to pay fine of s10, 900. to undergo two years impris- onment and then to be banished from the Transvaal for three years.
 John Hays Hammond Is 3S years old and is a son of General Hammond. He i was educated at Sheffield Scientific school, connected with Yale college. for the pro fession of mining engineer and completed his education at the mining school at Freidburg, Germany, where he took high i honors.

Mr., HANNA is degenerating into
the national turkeycock. Since Mr..
Mckinley was elected he has been
strutting around over the country
in way to show that whatever
strong qualities he may possess
there is a big streak of vanity
in his makeup. The address at
Cleveland about being the keeper
of McKinley's honor and about the
struggle to preserve that honor un-
spotted against all the world is q
nauseating bit of maudlin brag-
ging. IF Mckinley committed his
honor to Mr.. Hanna's custody he
was taking risk that could be as
sumed only in view of the great
financial services rendered him by
Hanna. Honor is a sacred thing
and the parading of it by such men
as Hanna is repugnant to all sem
sitiveness. We begin to doubt that
Hanna will cut big figure in poll
itics after all.

ATHENA DECEMBER A, 1896

THE announcement is now made
that England proposes to evacuate
the Island Of Cyprus, it being
further asserted that this has clear
ed the way for common action OF
the powers in Turkey. 1t was in
June, 1873, that England agreed
to protect Turkey against Russia
by force of arms if necessary, and
in return the Sultan ceeded Cyprus
to the admins tration of the Eng
lish, promising at the same time
full protection to the Christian
and other subjects of the Porte in
all Turkish territories. A month
before the treaty was agreed upon
Lord Salisbury wrote in a dispatch
that before her Majesy's govern
ment could enter into an agree
ment f9f the defense ofthe Asiastic
territories of the Porte in certain
eyentualities, they must be form
ally assured OF the intention of the
Porte to introduce the necessary
reforms into the government of
the Christian and other subjects of
the Porte in these regions. There
certainly could not, therefore, be
any doubt as to the intent and
meaning Of the treaty in question,
and vet Lord Rosebery in his re-
cent speech at Edinburg declared
it.asshis understanding that as the
Porte had not fulfilled or tried to
fulfill any one Of its pledges under
the convention, England had been
,Aqually released from hers and the
coSyention had been dead letter
ever since it was signed. This is
- strange conclusion to arrive at,
that SO long as England keeps Cy-
prus the Sultan can go on massac-
ring as he pleases. Still, if the
withdrawal of England from the
islands clears the way for con-
cert Of action, it will be approved,
although it is certainly feeble
argument that the evils against
which the Cyprus convention was
intended to guard cannot be done
away with except by an abroga-
tion of the treaty.

THE civil service law will be very
unpopular with office hungry re-
publicans after the 4th of next
March. Tens of thousands of them
will expect office where there is no
chance for them to get it unless
the civil service laws are ignored
as they were by President Harrison
until he filled the offices with re-
publicans. In the railway mail
service 95 per cent of the employees
were republicans when Cleveland's
administration began, and very few
changes have since been made. In
the state of Washington it is said
TO be doubtful whether there is a
single democratic railway mail
clerk. In the departments al
Washington, a majority of clerks
are republicans who were protec.
ted by the civil service law. In
the subordinate positions in the
government service therefore there
is little chance for the office seek el
unless old-time republican en-
ployes are removed to make way
| for new ones.

Pingree's Plan.

Col. John Atkinson, who is re-
cognized as Gov.-elect Pingree's
nearest friend and legal adviser,
when asked to state on what lines
the governor-elect proposed to urge
legislation, named them as follows;
Primary elections; doing away
to a great extent with conventions
for local offices and giving the peo-
pie themselves more control in
the selection of candidates.
Two cent fare on all the roads Of
the lower peninsula, at least.
Taxation of railroad property the
same as other property.
The application Of the principles
of the Interstate Commerce act to
com merce within the state,
A vote of the people upon public
franchises, such as street railway
charters.
The suppression oftrust and mon
opolies as far as the state can go in
that direction,
Laws against over-capitalization
of corporations and swindles COM
mitted by promoters.
Laws against the coercion of
voters, and particularly to prevent
great corporations of quasi
public character like railroads and
banks from exerting under influence
in election.
The governor also proposes to do
away entirely with the free pass
system for public officials and will
accept none for himself. He will
also recommend the appointment
of bureau to take accounts of
prices paid for all states supplies.
The corporation are endeavoring
to secure an organization of the
house ana senate hostile to the
governor.

To Make Il Permanent. !.

Matt Moegrove in conversation with a
preventative of the East Oregonian,
said in relation to the pork packing es-
tablishment. recently established in
Pendl ton:
owe propose to make it permanent,
and cnly failure to find hogs and
msrkt for packing house products will
csuae us to cease carrying on the busi-
ness. Permanency depends, in meas.
urr, on how the people here stand by the
company. We do not propose to ask for
any help from anyone, excepting that we
want our stuff sold in town and are going
to have it sold or sell 1t ourselves. So
far the merchants have taken our lard
and we have but limited quantity left.
When our other stuff is ready we pro-
pose to put it on the market and sell it
here or elsewhere"
Regarding the report that Eastern
capitalists are behind the enterprise Mr..
Mosgrove said:
There are none behind it now, but
there will be by the time another season
comes around If we make it go this sea-
con, as think We will and, in that case,
plant will be put in and the capacity
increased until the company will do a
very extensive business"

ther states in his paper that he
has become tired of the question.
So have all of us, and in the name
of common sense, it occurs to us
what rest it would be to the peo-
pie of the county to have it said
that the legislature had ad-
journed for once without having to
reject the proposition to cut UNA
tilla county in two. 1t would be a
rest. wouldn't it? To be sure it
would, but fate seems to have de-
creed otherwise, for the good peo'
pie of the county are again doom
ed to be confronted with the divis.
ion nightmare, and perched on her
back rides the Eagle editor, who
says he is "tired of it."

GENERAL MILES, commanding the
army again presents his annual
recommendation that the regular
-forcesaof the United States should
be increased. The law now limits
the army to $4,000 enlisted men.
General Miles thinks the minimum
should be one soldier for every g.
600 of the population and the max
imum one for every 1000 of the
population, the increase of the
army to maximum being at the
option of the president. A law in
accordance with the recommends
tion would allow the president
to create standing army Of about
72,00O men at present. In the
same document General Miles
points out that the Indians are be-
coming less troublesome every year
and that fewer soldiers are requir-
ed to handle them. Why then
would it be necessary to nearly
TRIBE the size of the army? Mere
ly so that more troops may be
available to a strong central gov
ernment," to overawe strikers and
the like-to be used when great
capitalists and corporations ask for
them. The recommendation is
directly contrary to true American
principles which include home rule
to the largest possible extent in
every division of civil government
down to the smallest, upon the
theory that the people are able to
govern themselves. The Europe
an theory, which goes hand in
hand with large standing armies,
is that the people are not able to
govern themselves and must be
kept in the narrow path of order
BY hedge Of bayonets on each
side Of it.

This question may break up a

it is finally disposed of.

THE people Of Oregon have no
use for the numerous commissions
which are drawing fat salaries from
the taxpayers, and rendering but
iittle or no service therefore, The
members of the last two and the
next legislature were elected on a
pledge that they would abolish
some of them. The past legisla-
ture failed in keeping the promise.
1t is hoped the next will not neg
lect this duty. There is no more
useless expense than the $4,000
annually expended on the railroad
commission and $4,000 for the at
torney general. They should be
abolished. The Legislature will
find ample opportunity for reform
without touching those that are de.
serving and of common interest.

CONGRESS- will not have to do
much during the coming session if
it leaves things in a shape to
prevent the calling of an extra
sesson shortly after Mr.. Mckinley
is inaugurated. About all that is
necessary to do is to pass a dozen
or more general appropriation bills,
reform the currency, increase the
revenue, do something for Cuba,
settle the Hawaiian question
and pass 10000 pension bills. If
all this is done in three mounths,
Mckinley will have clear sailing
until December, 1897, but if not,
