The spokesman Review, like many
Of the Populist authorities of Wash
ington, is becoming very unreliable.
When it announced that the Great
Northern was discharging its men
because they would not declare them
selves for Mckinley, it published an
untruth. The statement of the men
concerned brands this as another
campaign lie. We advise the Re-
view to confine its lying to dead men
and unwritten history.

Connecticut capitalists were se-
verely "sat down upon" by Mr..
Bryan during his recent tour through
that state, but the voters there dem
onstrated at the recent city election
that they were not convinced that a
declaration of q legislative body can
make value. The Yankees within
this nation will be found, as they al
ways have been found, on the right
side of the great national questions,
and in November the Republican
majorities given at the recent city
elections will be greatly increased.

those who have observed the en-
croachments of the river sand are of
the opinion that before The Dalles
can claim much of the business from
the counties east of us, there must
be road from Floyds place to the

this matter of the roads near the
city should receive the careful atten-
ton of our Commercial Club and
our county court. The whole bur-
den should not rest upon either alone.

The Dalles needs good roads more
than anything else just now. The
roads leading to the city, and within
a few miles of town, are in deplor-
able condition, and it is a wonder
loaded teams can pass over them at
all. Between the city and Floyd's
the road is particularly bad. and
something should be done at once to
improve it. Fifty loads of straw
would give temporary relief, and
probably be all that is necessary
from now until the fall rains. But

mane and Commentaries.
Augusta, April AIT the meeting of
Governor Cleaves and Council today, g
regular nominations were confirmed A
pardon was granted o. F. Skillings of
Portland, under sentence of six years, for
alleged forgery in 1891. The case is a
remarkable one. In that year SkIllings
is alleged to have forged the name of his
father.in-law, one Captain Sinnett to p
paper amounting to S495. Sinnett was
theychief prosecutor and had had trouble
with Skillings The latter demurred
the case and took a sentence of two years
each on three counts. The mother of the
prisoner, aged 70 years, was present at
the hearing and was overcome with joy
at her sons pardon, she being destitute
and in much need of the support which
he promises her. His record in prison
was excellent. The pardon is generally
regarded as most humane and commen-
dable.

and with longer reach, but was no match
for the Lewiston man, either in punching
ability or in stiffness. Neeoe forced the

Mahanny was chased about the ring,
meeting and oountering all effeotual
leads by the Biddeford man. The first

Washington, April 9.-Mr. Mallette-
Provost had conference at the Venezue-
Ian legation with Minister Andrade, rela-
tive to the translation and printing of the
documents recently received by Mr.. An
drade on the subject Of the boundary dis
pute between Venezuela and British
Guiana owing to the fact that it is not yet
possible to make and print translations
of these documents, they have not been
formally presented to the commission. 1t
is the intention of Mr.. Andrade to sub
nit both the original documents and
printed translations as soon as they can
be prepared. The translation of these
documents will necessarily occupy some
weeks as the Interpretation of the tench-
nioal language used for legal documents
in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eigh.
teenth centuries in which they are
couched, requires more than ordinary
care. Mr.. Andrade states that in the
course of two or three weeks he expects
to receive from the legation at the Hague,
Rome and Madrid. copies Of further docu-
msnts which the agents of his govern
met has been engaged in collecting al
those places. Pending the arrival OF
these papers and this translation of those
already here, the commission Is vigorous
lv prosecuting the work of inquiry along
independent lines and has abundant ma
teriaI to work upon for some weeks tc
come.

Small Chances for Arizona.

Washington. April 9.-In the territories
committee today, Mr.. Hadley prayent ted
favorable report on the Arizona bill.
Mr.. Hadley stated that his action in vot-
ing to admit the territories would be
based upon the ratio of population. AS
Arizona did not have, in his opinion, the
number Of Inhabitants requisite for state
hood, he would be compelled to vote
against it. Under these circumstances
Mr.. Murphy, delegate from Arizona,
deemed it advisable not to press the mat
ter further at today's meeting. Upon
motion OF Mr.. Catron delegate from New
Mexico, the Arizona bill was laid aside
