THE CASE OF CORBETT.

That Mr. Corbett's vote is needed by
the republicans is quite evident, aud
that strong effort will be made to
seat him is beyond question, but the
success with which it will meet is an
other thing. Precedent is against
him. but precedents go for little when
party ascendency Is at stake, and If by
any hook or crook Mr.. Corbett can
be seated past experience and future
results will not hinder. I his is quite
evident from the following expression
of the New York Commercial adyer-
tiser, which no doubt speaks authori-
tatively:
Control of the next senate may
easily turn upon the filling of the
vacancy from Oregon. With a sound
money republican admitted, the re-
publicans will have 45 dependable
votes, and can carry party measures by
the casting vote of the vice-president.
There is a popular notion that the
claim of ex-senator Corbett. appointed
by the governor, after the failure of
the legislature to elect, rests on the
same basis as former cases, in which
the senate refused to admit an ap-
pointed member ton the ground that
the legislature had the opportunity to
elect and the state was unrepresented
by its own neglect.
On the contrary, the Oregon case is
without precedent. in that erganiza-
tion Of the legislature was prevented

DIED IN ITS INCIPIENCY

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-A special
to the Herald from Washington says:
The Haytian government has asked
the United States to use its good
Offices for the settlement of its contro-
versy with Germany. Ambassador
White is feeling the pulse of the Ger
man authorities on this phase of the
subject, and if it can be ascertained
beforehand that Germany will not
reject the good offices of the United
States, they vii! be rendered.
The administration is reluctant to
believe that it will be called upon to
make any assertion about the applica.
tion of the Monroe doctrine to the
present controversy, but state depart
ment officials do not deny that this
government will take very firm
stand should Germany make any
movement in the direction of perma-
nent occupancy of Haytian territory.
For the purpose of giving adequate
protection to American interests in
Hayti, and show Germany that this
government is alert to its own inter-
ests, Secretary Long. after consulta-
tion witt the president, has directed
the crusier Htarblehead to make a
cruise in the West Indies, stopping at
Hayti.
Ambassador Whites dispatch to the
state department does not indicate
that the Berlin authorities have any
further purpose in view than to secure
full reparation for the reported out
rage on Lueders, the primary object
being to give Hayti wholesome
object lesson which will compel better
treatment of German subjects in the
future.

LOSS FROM BANK FAILURES

1t is impossible to tell with accuracy
the amount of money lost to the
American people every year as the re-
suit of bank failures. For national
banks the statistics kept by the COM
ptroller of the currency are suf-
ficiently satisfactory. The same official
has tried from time to time to compile
information relating to insolvency of
other banking institutions, Comp
troller Eckels gave special attention
to the subject in his report for 1895,
having made use of the fifty-eight
national bank examiners as agencies
for collecting material in relation to
failed banks of all kinds and the
Chicago Record MAKES an analysis of
them after the following fashion. The
figures thus collected, however, neces-
sarily were not in all cases complete
but they serve to throw much light on
the subject. Comparisons indicate
that the institutions under national
supervision are much safer places Of
deposit than are the state and pri-
yate banks, as is shown by the follow
ing table from Comptroller Eckels' re-
port gives failures for the year:

CONFIRMS PREVIOUS REPORTS.

Another Letter from Dawson Telling of
the Scarcity of Food.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Edgar L.
Strauss, of this city, a member of the
Pacific stock exchange, has received a
letter from his brother-in-law, James
w. Morrison, who is now at Dawson
City, which confirms the news of the
scarcity of food on the klondike. He
says:
"The steamer Bella arrived. bring
ing about 80 tons of provisions, but
still that will not be sufficient. The
have posted notices advis,
ing all persons not supplied with a
years provisions TO go to Circle City
or Fort Yukon, where provisions are
to be had. The stores are closed. The
cargo of the Bella won't begin to fill
half the orders"
The amount of provisions taken to
Dawson on the Weare is placed at
1nly IS tons.

ALIEN OWNERSHIP OF LAND

There is nothing which threatens
the free institutions of America more
than the requirement of large tracts of
realty by non residents. Gradually
the ownership of land, both in the
cities and rural districts, is passing in
to the hands of people who reside
across the ocean, and if this shall keep
up another half century as it has in
the past SO years, this will become a
nation of landlordism worse than ex-
lists today in England. Every acre
the title to which passes into the
hands of an alien corporation or indi-
vidual brings us just that much nearer
to condition of tenants and landlords.
,IfAhere is not check it will be only a
comparatively few years when the
land of free America will be owned in
England, Germany and France, while
the people who live here and should
be the real landlords, will be a lot of
tenants. living at the mercy Of foreign
ers.
1t is time indeed that this threatened
danger be checked. America can
offer home to the thrifty foreigner
who desires to come here and become
q citizen. 1t is well to invite honest
and law abiding people from all
nations to cast their lot with American
freemen, but it is not right to permit
an alien to acquire title to our land.
1t should never be permitted to pass
to any one except native or natural
lied citizen. Laws should be passed
making deeds executed hereafter to
aliens invalid. An alien desiring to
acquire title to land by purchase or
otherwise should be required to be-
come citizen or at least take out his
first citizenship papers, and no cor
poration, not Incorporated under the
laws of some state or territory and
having its principle office somewhere
in the United States, should be per-
ni.ted to acquire title to reality. To
rotect American freedom and Ameri-
can homes alien ownership of land
must be prohibited.

First Plot to Undermine Blanco In Cuba

NEW YORK, Noy. 30.--Captain-G Gen
eral Blanco crushed in the bud
the first overt act of hostility against
the establishment of autonomy on the
part of the Intransigents led by
Weyler partisans, says the corre-
spondent of the Herald at Havana.
The government has for some days
been aware that a demonstration was
about to be made.
1t was discovered yesterday that it
would take the form of a secret cir
cular, calling'on radical Spaniards to
thwart the plans of the present admin
istration. The police raided the
printing tffice of Ell Commercio and
seized large number of printed cir
culars. They were headed viva
Weyler." and contained gloriication
of Weyler and verulent attack upon
the United States and General Blanco.
The circulars were signed by many
Spaniards, and bore the date "Santa
Clara, November 23." These circulars
have been distributed through the
mails in black-edged envelopes pur-
porting to contain funeral notices.
The discovery was followed imme-
diately by the arrest of Eya Camel, a
weil-known newspaper woman, who is
notorious as onefof, the most active of
Weyler's partisans; Joe Hermida, the
mayors secretary, and three other
employees of the printing otiice.

RHO Is RIGHE
Sundays Oregonian contained the
folloWing editorial squib:

Sundays Oregonian contained the
following editorial squib:
SIT may be worth while to note that
the thirteen nations that threatened
retaliatory measures in case the Ding
ley bill became law are still buying
our goods. More than this, their pur-
caases from US have exceeded by 20
per cent the sales made by them in the
corresponding months of last year,
while from them the United States
bought 25 per cent less.
It is the generally accepted idea
among great many that the enact
ment Of the Dingley law has cut down
importations from most countries; but
If reports are true we are still import
ing largely from some of the thirteen
countries which objected to the
Dingley law. In the same issue of the
Oregonian in which TIE above ap-
peared, there was Berlin dispatch,
giving an account of comments upon
tho proposition to institute tariff war
against the United States, and one
paragraph is as follows:
"United States Consul-General Gold
smith says the personal exports to
the United States show an unmistak-
able increase. From October 10 to
November 10 the exports in his dis
trict amounted to 2,118,858 marks, as
against ], ,S45. 1882 marks for the same
period of 1895, an increase of Is per
cent. Reports from other consular
districts show, with few exceptions,
similar increases.
Either the Oreeonian is mistaken
about the imports from foreign coun-
tries haying fallen off 25 per cent, or
General Goldsmith, who is in
Germany and his facilities for securing
data as to the exports from that
country to the United States, is ter
rible fa]sifier.

RATHER PREsUMPTUoUs.

In q recent issue of the Atlanta
Journal, owned and edited by Hoke
Smith, late secretary Of the interior
under president Cleveland. appeared
rather a remarkable article on the
"duty of the democratic party as
whole" in which the editor advises
the healing of all factions and the set
Ting down to such harmonious con-
duct as will result in victory in 1900.
! also claiming that the recent victorias
i'm New York, Kentucky and Nebraska,
and the cutting down OF the republican;
vote in other states, were achieved in
the absence of any reference to the
Chicago platform, free coinage OF sill
yer, or other radical propositions. The
article then appeals to the democratic
party to dump the Chicago platform,
and declares in effect that the gold
andard democrats cannot 20 back to
fe regular organization until that
creed is abandoned. The article con.
cludes it's appeal with the remark that
"there are two ways before the old
psrty. One way leads to safety, and
honor, and triumph; the other leads
to madness, dispute and ruin. !"
This appeal is touching, but it is un-
Slikely that it will have any effect upon
Ehe rank and file of the party. 1t is
presumptuous for Mr.. Smith to sup
pose that the little handful OF gold
standard democrats viii be able to
dictate the policy of the party in the
future. The tail cannot wag the dog,
however respectable the tail may be.
Il isn't big enough. The 6,502,952
men who accepted the Chicago plat
Fform and voted for Bryan last fall, will
! be dictated to by the 133, 14S gold
Standard democrats who voted for
Palmer. If the Chicago platform
must be dumped in order to win back
the Palmer democrats, they must for
ever flock to themselves or go with
the republican party. Minority rule

demand is too great. They |

But when physical weakness or disease is
added to woInan's burden it becomes al
together too heavy. No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful who is dragged dowr
by continual pain and physical wretch
edness.
The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easy
to overcome If the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention: But if allowed to
go unchecked, they are liable to develop
into serious, chronic complications.
Amy woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription It is
a perfect and unfailing specific for all dis
eases of the feminine organs. 1t was de-
yised for this one purpose, and accoinp.
fishes this purpose as no other medicine
has ever done.
For nearly 30 years Dr. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y, where in conjunction with his staff
of associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of "female
complaint"
No physician living has had a more ex-
tended opportunity to study this class of
diseases in actual practice. No medicine
ever invented has done for women what his

only semi-civilized else such sum-
mary punishment would not be prac-

crimes for which the negroes are
lynched they would conclude it is the
negro who is not civilized. hence he
brings retribution upon himself. For
instance, the dispatches announce that
last Saturday eight negroes dragged a
cotton picker, who had some money,
out of his house and murdered him.
then ravished his wife. Nothing but

but it is hardly likely it will cause

The Spokesman-Review calls atter-
tion to the consumption of eastern
eggs in Oregon and Washington.
Thi, paper says that one commission
fir n in Spokane has imported five
carloads of eastern eggs, at an average
cost per car of s1825, since the first of
October. It takes $500 bushels of 65
cent wheat tospay for one carload of
eggs. Now. the question is, cannot
some people throughout this section
turn their attention to egg production
and earn more than they do now from
raising wheat year in and year out?
At least those who have nothing much
to do and cannot secure land on which
to grow wheat can add to the thrift
and prosperity of 3 Eastern Oregon at
least by encouraging the Industrious
hen to lay enough eggs right here at
home to supply the nearby markets.

sword. 1t was argued in Lovering's
defense that he was enforcing discip-
line, but his style of enforcement was
too brutal to meet the approval of
court-martial composed of men
trained in rigid army discipline.
Lowering has shown himself to be a
brute, devoid of human feeling. and
should be drummed out of the army,
for he is disgrace to the name of
American soldier, still he will receive
only a mild reprimand. He has shown
himself utterly unfit to command free
men, and the only position for which
he is fitted or where he would be ap-
preciated is in the Spanish army. The
court-martial should have fixed as his
punishment that he be forced to enlist
under Marshal Blanco.
