GIddness Comes

NAJith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipatcd condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is Che only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health, Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bcne-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utablc druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tivcs or other remedies arc not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but if in need of n laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most ene:al satisfaction.

First Place in the Republic.

No more eloquent commentary Oh the
revolution which has divided the party
and made this convention so memorable
could be needed. 1t was not without a
wall OF agony, however, that some Of
the spectators, who could not fathOm
the mysteries of political mancuvering
and the necessity Of grinding men be-
meath the heel, saw the old champion,
whose slogan and proudest boast was
Il am Il Democrat" go down. Even
after Senator Daniel had reached the
platform and assumed the gayel they
called loudly for the defeated candi-
date, but the experienced general, who
has tasted the bitterness of defeat be-
fore rs we'll as the sweetness Of victory,
only smiled grimly.
This was the first result Of this re-
markablo convention which is ready to
sacrifice all else that the
White Banner of silver
may float about the party as its ensign
and rallying cry. The convention it
self was a most inspiring sight. Never
before since the present system of na-
tional conventions was inaugurated by
the old National Republican party in
Baltimore i'll 1881 has a convention met
in such capacious and admirably
adarted structure On the north side,
where the platform and press benches
are situated, the galleries rise one above
the other sheer from the floor, while III

AS a source OF return to better times
we advocate the propriety and neces-
sity of the state of Oregon owning her

furnishing them at slight increase
over cost to those desiring them. That
would be practically patronizlng OF

deed of returning to better times"
1t would cost only about 100000 to
put in plant for printing textbooks,
to say nothing of the cost of compiling
and issuing the books. We admit it
would cause "retrun to better times"
for lot of individuals who are out of
a job or are working for half the wages
the state always has to pay for what
ever it has done; but the people of
Oregon are not in mood just now to
extend charity in that direction. They
have had about all they can stand of
furnishing employment for the unem-
ployed, and that is about all the benefit
that it would derive from publishing
its own textbook. It would only in
crease the number of employees about
the state capital, while no cheaper or
better books would be furnished school
patrons. We cannot afford to return

ISSUES ARE MIXED.

What the issues between two great
national parties will be in the coming
campaign are yet as deep mystery
as is what the present congress will do.
1t was expected that Speaker Reed
could SO manipulate the majority in
the house as to make up issues for the
republican party, and while he has
been able to accomplish this to a
certain extent, the republicans in the
senate have knocked all his plans in
the head, and the republicans are today
as hopelessly without policy as they
were before congress convened. c.
W. Benedict, who is close observer
of public affairs, in a recent interview
on the present issues, said:
"Both parties are much unsettled as
to a sound and sensible policy. All
the issues have faded out. In this re-
spect, the republicans are as badly off
as the democrats. Every time there is
heavy rainfall you have a freshet
and considerable amount of debris ia
washed down. The same thing is true
in the political world. When presi-
Dental landslides occur. all of the riff
raft and worthless rubbish is brought
to the front, and the country has to
suffer while these play fantastic
tricks in congress and make
even angels weep. The democrats had
something of the kind little over
two years ago, and the republicans
last November. Look at the set of
men we have in congress. There are
some good ones, but the majority are
not OF much account. Two years ago
the democrats had enough majority
to make two parties, just as the repub-
licans have at present. When this
happens, they "know it ALL" and you
cannot tell them or teach them any
thing. The only safety to the country
Is when there is small margin-say
5 or 10 per cent-for then each party is
put on its good behavior and knows
that it will be turned down promptly
if it does not do something. The idea
of this rich and prosperous country
going around among the nations in
the role of beggar with ragged shirt
is ridiculous. Such things will not
and cannot continue long"

LET THE YORK GO ON.

The memorial to Congress, prepared
by The Dalles Commercial Club, ask
ing for an appropriation OF sl79,597 to
complete and protect the locks at the
Cascades, is good so far as it goes, and
we believe will cause congress to take
speedy action in the matter, 1t never
having been the policy of the govern
ment to allow public works so nearly
completed to suffer for want OF money
with which to prosecute the work OF
completion. or to protect the works
from spossible damage. But should
the speediest action possible be taken,
it is not probable that an appropriation
can be made available in time to con-
struct, even concrete walls between
the first and second locks, inside OF six
or eight months. This would leave
the looks imperative during the
season when this years wool and grain
crops of Eastern Oregon are being
shipped, thus giving the Inland EN-
pire no benefit of cheaper freight rates
during the present season. This Is
what is demanded by the producers of
the entire upper country. They want,
and are entitled to the privilege OF
floating their products to market
through this canal. They believe,
that the canal and locks can be op-
Grated without danger, during the
season of low water, so soon as the
present contract is finished. And they
are backed up in this belief by the
opinions of the engineers who drew
the Observation-Disclosures, who made
no provision for protecting the walls
that are now condemned as unsafe.
Nothing short Of practical test can
demonstrate the fact that these walls
are unsafe; nothing short of this win
prove whether the opinions of the en-
gineers now in charge, or the ones who
prepared, the plans are of value.
Since The Dalles Commercial Club
has very properly taken the initiative
in the matter of asking an appropria-
tion for the permanent completion of
the locks; and since the club is the
direct representative Of every COM
mercial interest in this vicinity, why
should it not petition the war depart
ment to have board Of engineers ap-
pointed from Washington to inspect
the work, and test it by passing num-
Der of boats through the canal i'm
mediately after Day Bros. have com
pleted their work? A petition from
the club asking that an inspection of
the locks be made at once could not
be ignored by the department, and If
it did not result in the permanent
opening of the canal, it would hasten
the work of.completion. Let the club
continue the good work it has already
begun, by persistently demanding that
the locks be tested, and the fact de-
monstrated if they can be operated.

provinces which do not surrender
within the given period will at the
expiration of that period be treated as
bandits.
A detachment of the civil guards,
reinforced by the civil guards of the
province of Santiago de Cuba and the
province of Puerto Principe, have
orders to form lists, at their respective
towns, of all persons who have joined
the rebels, and their property will be
coniscated. The property of those
who openly aided the rebels in their
raids will also be confiscated.
The towns in the western part of the
island are authorized to organize corps
of guerrillas and all off1ce-holders on
leave of absence will be relieved II
after eight days from the date of the
proclamation they have not returned
to their posts.

articles, after the date of the proclama'
tion, can no longer be sold in small,

Army In Cuba Short Fifteen Thousand
Men.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-A special to a
local paper from New York says:
A dispatch from Havana reports 15,-
900 Spanish soldiers missing in Cuba
The fact has been communicated to
the Madrid government, and the search
for their whereabouts is going on day
and night. Official circles are in q
state of alarm, for Is, 900 men, with 15,-
600 rifles and 100000 cartridges is an
enormous item to the Spanish army.
The disappearance of the men will ulti-
mately be traced to either death in
battle, the number of which has been
concealed to hide Spanish losses, their
detail to positions in various parts of
the island, of which no record has been
kept, or desertions to join the insur-
gents. The Spanish records show that
entire garrisons have joined the rebels,
with their arms, in every province of
the island.
An order was issued by General
Weyler several days ago for a report
of the army. The responses to this, it
is said, have increased the confusion
and there are reports from reliable
sources that there ars 10000 men in
stead Of $1,000 to be accounted for.
