A MATTER OF WISDOM.

At the banquet rendered Mr..
Hirsch, in Portland, Saturday
night, Mr.. Scott, among other
things, said: 1--WE have differ
ences OH minor questions, but we
agree on the main question.
In the graphic language of the
street, ''let it go at that"
The main question of the cam
paign was the financial question.
It was a campaign of education
to many of us who had hitherto
impressions rather than knowl-
edge regarding the science of
money. AS Colonel Kelsay says,
s'We did not change our minds;
we simply began to use them"
Among the leading men of the
nation now in active political life
there are few who have not at
some time been deceived by finan-
cial fallacies. Carlisle, McKin-
ley, Sherman and hosts of others
have let their zeal outrun their
wisdom OH national financial mat
tiers. Yet Carlisle is today the
ablest exponent of the science of
money and Mckinley led the
sound-money hosts on to victory.
This campaign cf education has
educated the teachers as we'll as
the pupils. An interesting ex-
ample is the case of Governor
Mcconnell. His letter to the
Spokane Review in the beginning
of the campaign, explained why
he, a silver man, supported Nc
Kinley. A month later he was
exposing clearly and forcibly, the
weaknesses of free silver argu-
ments. This election has settled
the silver Question. Those who
supported Mckinley will oppose
Independent free coinage of silver.
eve agree on the main question. y
There cannot be any real doubt
concerning the attitude of Sena'
tor Mitchell. tbs prohtless tc
quarrel now over the meaning Of
the republican platform of 1892.
The. financial plank of that plat
form is admitted by all to be weak
and evasive. 1t is capable o1
many constructions. The fnan.
cial declaration of 1896 is, how.
ever, plain and explicit. Itad-
mits of no difference between re-
publicans ON this question, and
Senator Mitchell is a republican
The Oregonian asks Mr.. Mitch
ell to defne5 publicly, his position
on the fuRncial question. The
best repM to this invitation are
those words of Mr.. Scott, wher
he said-speaking for Senate:
Mitchell as we'll as for himself
"We agree upon the main ques
tion." The GAZETTE has NJ
better method of discovering Mr.
Mitchell's views than has th'
Oregonian, but is perfectly will
ing to rely upon Mr.. Scott's state
ment. The Oregonian shoule
desire no better authority.
There are several reasons why
Senator Mitchell should not rusl
with his views to a newspaper il
order to answer the inquiry. II
the first place the question pre-
supposes a doubt that does no
really exist. Then a public de
claration at this time would b.
construed to mean an undignifet
bid for votes. There are prope
times for public men to make
public utterances. and apparen
frankness is often mere stupidity
A weaker, less intelligent mar
than Senator Mitchell would hav.
paraded his views before nov
and imagine himself born dip
lomat. Propriety, etiquette ant
wisdom would let the matter rest
publicly, in the common under
standing, that ''we agree on th'
main question.

Havana, Nov. 26-Captain General Wey-
Ter has issued orders to the farmers in the
province of Pinar del Rio, Havana and Ma

detained, but General Weyler would not
await its arrival and urged his troops on
ward, regardless of the absence of provis-
ions.

Introduction OF the Keeley treatment; prior
to the Introduction of the Kelley treatment
it was common to find drunken veterans
on the road between Leavenworth and the
home. but since then the change was
phenomenal and to see a drunken
man was 4 rare occurrence.
Mr.. Taylor said ne belonged to the Leav-
euworth club, and met Governor Smith
there several times a week. and never
knew him to take a drink; had met him at
many social gatherings and at banquets,
but never knew him to take any stimu-
lants since he took the Kelley treatment
Mr.. Taylor further said that he never had
even q suspicion that the governor might
be using stimulants.
Messrs. Neely Todd. John W. Spratley,
B. 5. Richards and United States Marshal
Neely all gave similar testimony and spoke
in the highest terms of the home manage
ment.
Patrick Consadine. who had been Il mem
Der of the home for eight years. testified
to the uniform kind treatment Of Govern
or Smith. and the great good that had
been accomplished by the Kelley cure at
that place.
W. II. Timberlake, who lives in Column
bus. Kas., g. years Of age, and who was at
one time law partner of W. Q. Gresham,
postmaster general and afterwards secre-
tary of state in President Cieveland's ad-
ministration, testified that he was at the
home six months in 1893 when he took the
Kelley treatment for the use of morphine.
He testified to the excellent management
of the home by Governor Smith. and the
general good accomplished by the Kelley
cure at the home.
Mr.. Timberlake said J. II. Davis came
10 his room at the hotel late at night.
saying that sixty-five kilograms had been
sent and received about him, and IL he
went on the witness stand he would be
ripped up the back" Chairman Grout
tonight called Davis. who Ls stoFekeeper
at the home, to the stand and asked how
he received such information. Though re-
peatedly commanded to tell the name OF
his informant he fatty refused. saying he
would go TO Jail FIRST. The committee has
no power to punish for contempt The
affair has created a sensation as it Is said

Homer G. Wooden. now OF the DAYTON.

lice at the Leavelworth home, testified to
the humane treatment of veterans who
were arrested. Not one. he said was ever

ton and It was only on rare occasions
that any members was placed in the
that Governor Smith always allowed mem
bers who were brought before him for
punishment to produce evidence and make
an explanation in their own behalf
Joseph b. Sidley, clerk in the adiu-
taEt's office and a member Of the home
for three and one-half years gave similar
testimony in favor OF the governor

FOUL PLAY FEARED.
st. Louis Detectives Hunting for a
Wealthy New Yorker who
Is Missing.

St Louis, Mo-, Nov. GA number of city
detectives are making a vigorous effort to
solve the mysterious disappearance of
Michael Rudayeff, a wealthy real estate
man of New York city, whose relatives
think he has either met with foul play, or
killed himself somewhere in this vicinity.
Rudayeff left New York last May. intend
ing to visit Colorado for his health. Be
fore starting, ne shipped his trunk to his
cousin, living in St. Louis, saying he would
stop over and visit him on his way West.
Rudayeff did not come, but about a month
ago his cousin received a letter from him,
dated at Denver, which stated that the
writer intended to start East in a few days
Since then Mr.. Harwitz has had no word
from his relative. 1t is the formers opin-
ion that Rudayef has been foully dealt
with. Rudayeff had about $4,000 in his
possession when he left New York.

such questions and they appear to be
pertinent
Coming with the news of the where
aboUts of Ross is the rumor that when
he was met by the officers of the surety
company, the Pinkertons and express COM
panies together, Ross asked them pointedly
what terms they were willing to make 10
learn the facts and escape loss. The ru-
NOR which IS current among the officials
is that an answer is being delayed until
the companies decide upon what terms, II
any, they will allow Ross TO escape punish
ment. Such a runor naturally suggests
the possibility of a large loss, especially
when il is known that Ross on Sunday
handled over slC0,O10. The fact that no ar
rest has been made suggests cOmpro-
mise If the missing packages be returned.
OF course, if the express companies have
evidence of crime in their possession and
for a return of the cash or any other val
liable consideration agree to shut their eyes
and not prosecute, they will be guilty of
an act known in law as Gompounding
felony, and all parties to such transac-
ton Will be liable to prosecution. The law
expressly prohibits such practice, being
based on the proposition that no party
should be able to escape liability for any
felonious act by the use of money, the re-
turn of stolen property or any other polite
way of ouieting the feelings for revenge
in the minds Of outraged and wronged peo-
pie.
Section 1893. Of the criminal code says:
Every person having a knowledge of the
actual commission of any offense punish
able by death or imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary, who shall take any money or
property of another, or any gratuity or
reward, or any promise, undertaking or
engagement therefor, upon agreement or
understanding, express or implied TO COM
pound or conceal such crime, or to abstain
from any prosecution therefor. OF withhold
any evidence thereof, shall, upon convic-
ton, be punished by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for a term not exceeding five
years"
1t has not been infrequent in similar
cases for a surety company to secure from
the arrested party money or property equal
to the shortage. so that the company
should lose nothing, and 1t has been equally
noticeable that in such cases prosecution
has invariably been dropped or so lifeless
as to be little better than farce. This is
quite contrary to the wording and inten-
tiOn Of the law, and makes all parties con-
nected with the affair liable to prosecution.

MOST SANGUINARY BATTLE OF TIL
WAR IN. CUBA.
THE CUBANS USED DYNAMITE
KILLED 700 OF wEYLER's MEN By
ONE EXPLOSION.
Slaughtered Hundreds of Others With
the Terrible Dynamite Guns
weyIer Attacked MaceO
With $4,000 Men, but
Did Nothing.

Jacksonville Fla, Nov. 26.-Colonel Jose
Reyes, afde-de-camp of General Maceo,
wounded and en- route to Ne2- York fer
medical treatment, and with dispatches 10
the junta, passed through here yesterday.
He says the fighting in the Rubi hills of
Pinar del Rio was the most sanguinary
during the war. He claims 2,00O of Eey-
ler's men were killed in two days, and
twice as many wounded.
Weyler went to the feld with 25,OJe men
in three columns. one Of bod under him
self, one of 10000 under General Echasue,
and a third of 5000 under General AIunoz.
They found 8Iaceo entrenchsd in cres-
cent-shaped range of hills. When at the
foot of the hills the Spantards were met
with a whitening fire that cut gaps in their
ranks.
Maceo's men shot from bahind rocks and
trees and gradually gave way before the
Spaniards, who, encouraged by what they
thought to be victory. pp-sued them.
Suddenly deafening explosion rent the
air and a scene followed somewhat like
the mine horror at Petersburg during the
civil war. Horses and men We're blown
high in the air and fell to the earth dead
and mangled- The dynamite mine was
touched off by John Linn, formerly of this
city, who is Maceo's electrician. Maceo
then let bose his dynamite guns, prepared
by Linn, and more havoc was wrought.
In the mine explosion, Colonel Reyes
says, Weyler lost 100 men killed, and 800
more in charge, besides 1000 wounded.
Next day Maceo. knowing of the reserve
force under Weyler, retreated TO even a
stronger position. There he was attacked
by the column under Echague, who was
roundly thrashed and driven from the
field, losing 800 men killed, besides 1890
wounded
Next day Maceo retreated again. maneu-
vering all the while to entrap Weyler into
field that had been honeycombed with
dynamite. Meanwhile, however, General
Weyler, hearing that there was danger OF
an uprising in Havana, because of his fail
ure to crush Maceo, FASTENED back to that
city.

by the officers and could not escape If he
tried. He was located here Wednesday
morning by one of the officers of the surety

held three sessions to-day-morning. after
noon and night. The committee begins TO
show an eager desire to finish up its work.
Governor Smith to-day had an inning and
a6Guced a formidable array of testimony
tending to show that the general plan of
management of the home is most excel
len1 and that its affairs are most adroitly
and justly administered.
The first witness placed on the stand by
the defense was Paul E. Havens, president
of the Leavenworth National bank. who
testified that the home management was
as perfect as could be imagined; that he
knew of the home since its formation;
was a frequent visitor to the institution.
and that there had been decided decrease
in drunkenness among the inmates since
the introduction of the heeley cure. He
said he had met Governor Smith frequently
at the club" and on various social occa-
sions, but that he had never seen him take
a drink of liquor.
Mr. John Wilson testified that he
drove down to the home frequently and
went through the different departments;
that the management of the home appeared
to him to be excellent; that drunkenness
among the old soldiers had greatly de-
creased since the Kelley cure had been
introduced into the home.
]. W. Fogler. OF the First National bank,
gave similar testimony.
Edward Carroll, cashier of the Leaven-
worth National bank. testified that he had
known Governor Smith for ten years and
had never known him to drink liquor.
Alexander Caldwell, f. p. Wilson and ].
S. Rice and Cyrus Townsend, all testifie
that they were intimately acquainted with

with him frequently, but they had never
known him to touch a drop OF alcoholic
stimulants since he had taken the Keeley
cure in 1891. Mr.. Townsend said that on

HANGED, BUT STILL ALIVE.
Alabama Negro Said to Have Been
Resuscitnted After Being Cut
DnMn for Dead.

Tuscogee, Ala, Nov. @6.-Last Friiay a
negro named Henry Dawson was hanged
here for murder by the sheriff. He vas
large, 2O0-pounder, and wnen the trap was
sprung fell so hard that he almost blCke
the rope. Fifteen minutes after the fall he
was cut down and the physicians present
pronounced him to be dead from stI'&CSu-
lation. His body was turned over % MS
friends for burial. a negro named Reuben
Rice now comes forward with the st1te-
ment that Dawson Is not dead-that as
soon as the wagon was outside Of town
the lid of the coffin was pried off and
whisky and other restorltives applied
with the result that the supposed corpse
was resuscitated and after an hour or
two was recovered sufficiently TO walk. The
evidence as to the truth of the statement
is that the negroes having the remains in
charge have left the neigbOrhood and no
evidence of new made grave can be
found about the Buchanan place. where
Dawson was to have been buried.
