The Spanish authorities have complete
control of the Havana press and all the
ordinary means for the dissemination of
news. They can as readily compel the
newspapers to publish lies as to suppress
truths. 1t may be that the story of Ma
coos death is true. But all the alleged
facts concerning it could easily be in
vented and put into circulation, and no.
body in Havana would dare to contra
dict them.

a Good Repubilean speeeh.

Hon. @. H. Dodd, who addressed the
citizens of The Dalles last night at the
court house, is a very entertaining
speaker and scored many good points.
He has habit of stating line of argu-
ment, and following it up with an ire
sistable flight of oratory which invari-
ably brings forth applause. In his ad-
dress last evening he defined the basic
principles of the Republican party,
which are high protective tariff, ade-
quate internal improvements and an
enlarged system of navv and coast de-
tense. He represented that the United
States has enjoyed no period of pros
perity unless under high protective
tariff from the founding of our govern
menr down to the present day. That
whenever an abandonment of this prin-
ciple has even been threatened 1t has
resulted in widespread panic and dis
sster. He arraigned the present admin
istration for borrowing $165 ,OOO. 900 to
run the government in times of profound

peace. He dwelt also upon the financial
question, declaring against free silver
and denouncing it as reputation. He
struck a popular chord in denouncing
the Oregonian, stating the facts about
its suppressing the news, when such
news would be prejudicial to the Ore
gonian's political schemes and interests,
and cited in support of the claim that
Senator Mitchell had secured an appro-
priation of $500 for rivers and haI-
bors, which the Oregonian did not allow
a place in it's news columns. The Re-
publican platform of 1894 was written
by Harvey Scott himself, reafirming the
platform of 1892 which declared for OIL
metallism. Now Scott attacks that
platform and declares new set of prin-
ciples of which Mr.. Northrup is the ex-
ponent. He urged the Republicans to
stand by Ellis, and read telegram from
that gentleman, pledging himself to
stand by the St. Louis platform, what
ever that shall be.

mitted suicide by colliding with the barb

says the Arlington Record. After strik-
ing the fence he ran along saving him
self on the wires for about $50 feet,
when he plunged over another wire
fence and fell in the corral, where he
breathed his last in a few minutes.
One of his hind legs was sawed and
broken off at the hook joint and hang
ing by the skin. A cash was cut in his
shoulder and his throat was cut, sever
ing the windpipe and jugular vein.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the SYM
ptoms, but while the cause exists cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees Skin Dis
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears a suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, il becomes plain whether it ia
poison in the blood or a local trouble.
