the Spanish Government for substan-
tal reform on that ill-fated island.
1t has been most costly violation
of faith on the part of Spain. When
the present rebellion began Spain was
receiving $50, 900 of revenue an
nually from Cuba. That has ceased,
and the general destruction of prop
erty makes it impossible for Cuba,
under any circumstances, to contribute
any considerable sum of revenue to
Spain even if the rebellion could be
ended by treaty In addition to the
loss Of $50, ,ooo,o 900 of revenue, the
Spanish Government has expended
some 100000, 900 in the prosecution
of the war, and will probably be COM
PEELED to expend another hundred
million if the war shall continue during
the present year. 1t has been all loss
and no profit to Spain, and Spain is
solely responsible for this loss by the
violation of her own solemnly pl,ghted
faith to the people of Cuba.
1t is folly now for Spain to propose
that the Cuban insurgents shall submit
to the rule of Spain under any treaty,
no matter what the promises or guar
antees may be. There is not an in
telligent Cuban who believes. that
Spain would maintain her faith with
them under any circumstances, and
the intense hatred cherished by all the
Spanish people engaged in the REBEL
ion against Spain would make any
peaceful solution of the present strife
impossible except on the basis Of
Cuban independence. All promises
of reform coming from Spain will nee
essarily be regarded by the Cuban
people as simply mockery; as adding
insult to the injury inflicted upon
them by the violation of Spanish faith
under the treaty that closed the form
er rebellion.
Cuba is lost to Spain, no matter
whether the war shall continue OF
whether it shall cease. There will be
no peace on the island until Spanish
authority is ended there, and If Spair
shall not soon appreciate this fact, i
must become the duty of the civilized
nations of the world to teach her tina
a war that can have no possible at
tainable object but murder and devas
tation must be stopped in the interes
of humanity.-Phila. Times.

Mock Reforms for Cuba.

1t is evident that Spain has finally
come to understand and practically
confess that the Cuban rebellion can
not be suppressed. This is shown by
the formal announcement that sweep
ing reforms are about to be inaugu-
rated by Spain in the government of
Cuba. 1t is now officially stated that
on January 20, the saint day of the
little King of Spain, general amnesty
will be proclaimed throughout the re-
bel'ious provinces of Spain, and that
soon thereafter radical reforms will be
rendered to the Cuban people.
When the ten years rebellion closed,
General Gomez ended the strife by
accepting the positive assurance OF
Spain that general reform would be
inaugurated in the government of that
province, relieving the people of the
oppressive exactions which had lei
them to rebellion. Had Spain main
tanned her faith to the Cuban people
at that time, the present rebellion
could not have been inspired, but al
Spain withheld the substance ofreforn
while simply giving the shadow, th'
people of Cuba have ceased to have
any faith whatever IN the pledges O

THOSE PROMISED GOOD TIMES.

During the campaign last fall
Republican orators and newspapers
were very busy in predicting the
great calamities that would befal this
country if Bryan were elected, and
promising a restoration of coniider ce,
a general resumption of business, a
return of great prosperity, closing OF
soup houses and opening of mills in
case of McKinley's success. McKin-
ley was elected, but more Of those
predictions have been fulfilled. Busi-
ness has not revived, money is almost
out of sight, and more people are
suffering for the necessaries of life
than this country has known for years.
Banks are failing daily, not because of
the policy of the Democratic admins
tration, but mostly because of bad
management or because they have
been looted by their officers.
There is a feeling of discomfort
among the people, aud if the election
were to be held now, it is more than
probable that Bryan and free silver
would carry the country by an over
whelming majority. Congress is now
in the hands of the Republicans, and
instead of attempting to do anything
to relieve the people, they are spend
ing their time in talking about the
war in Cuba, and contemplating
measures that will increase their
salaries.
Times have grown worse instead Of
better since McKinley's election, and
while this has little to do with the
present condition of things, he was
elected by promises of better times in
that event, and unless prosperity shall
follow closely on the heels of his in.

prove dismal failure, and the Re

The liberal newspapers of Germany
hail the Treaty of Arbitration between
the United States and Great Britain
as Offering the best means of escape
from the standing army system, which
is draining the life blood of Europe.
These organs of the humane and en-
lightened sentiment of Germany ask
why the ratification of the treaty
should not lead to similar understand
ings between other countries. On
the other hand the North German
Gazette, the organ of the Govern
ment and of the spirit of militarlsm,
SCOTS at the treaty and praises war as
"a great factor in the advance ol
civilization" OF course those who
believe in war as the most logical
means of settling international dis.
putes will oppose the treaty, but they
are in a feeble minority of the intelll
gent people of both hemispheres. -

responsibility of United States
Sena tors.

In a paper contributed to the New
York Herald Of Sunday Representa-
tive Tucker, of Virginia, presents
some strong arguments for the elec-
tion of United States Senators by
direct vote of the people.
One of Mr.. fuckers strongest ar
guments is that under the present
method of election the United States
Senator is responsible in small degree
either to the people, who do not elect
him, or to the Legislature by which
he is chosen. Long before the Ssna-
tors term of six years ends the Legis-
lature which elected him has also ex-
pired. While the Senator's moral OBJ.
legation still exists the political body
that possessed the power to hold him
to strict accountability is dead when
he comes up for reelection, and a new
legislative body has taken its place.
Thus the Senate of the United States,
while holding great political and legis-
lative power, has little responsibility
to the people.
This is one of the main reasons
why the large majority of United
States Senators prefer the present
mode of election. Another reason is
that the legislative caucus can be
much more easily manipulated than
the ballot box.--ReeOrH.

self two years hence. The governor
as cabinet officer might become a
formidable opponent of Quay while
Lyon as governor might give the state
quite enough of Quayism in the re-
mainder of the term to satisfy the
commonwealth with Quayism for
ever.
1t seems plain that Senator Quay
is simply bandying the governors
name for his own benefit. He doesn't

in the senate he believes he ought to

A Bill to Increase the Number Of Enlisted
Men to 10000.

To give the United States army a
modern organization and enable it to
fight on even terms with European
armies employing modern armament
and methods is the purpose Of bill
that was ordered to be favorably re-
ported last week by the House CON-
mittee on military affairs. The bill
increases the number of enlisted men
from $4,000 to 10000.
With the new methods in force
each infantry regiment will contain in
future three majors instead of one as
at present. The effect of this will be
to promote fifty captains to the rank
of majors fifty first lieutenants to cap
taincies, and fifty second lieutenants
to first lieutenantcies.

The WoOdmen Circle.

The Pacific Circle, Women of Wood.
craft, is now in a splendid condition.
They have their grand circle Office at
Leadville, Colorado, and have on their
roster 1000 beneficiary members and
800 social. They have paid three death
claims in full since April 1st, the pres.
ent year, and haye two in Oregon to
pay in full within the. next month.
The order has 81 circles in this state
organized since April l, 1897, and has
in all IS in the jurisdiction since the
above date.
The Pacific Circle was adopted by
the head council of Woodmen OF the
World Pacific Jurisdiction, as its auxil.
iary, on August IL, 1897.
The amount of insurance is from
$500 to $1,000 and the assessment rate
is graded one just like that of the
Woodmen. The order furnishes 500
monument to every deceased lady
member who carries bensficial Y GER
tiicate.
The order is a social, benefit and
fraternal one, and the social after
every meeting of the circle tends
toward cuitivating true frater-
nal spirit among its members. The
guardian of the local circle is Mrs.
Ella Cushing and the clerk, Miss
Louise Rintoul, and the order meets
every Friday evening in Fraternity
hall, over N. Harris store.

use are evidence of prosperity and
thrift, but they are also expensive lux
uries, which every municipality should
consider the'expenses of before adopt
ing. Last Saturday hlght the city
council met for the purpose of receiv-
ing the report of the committee on
electric lights, and the report showed
that the best rates to be obtained from
the Electric light Co. were S10.50 per
month for Ii lights on contract OF
three years: Sl0.75 month for each
light for two years, and 81 month
on contract of one year. That is the
best contract that can be made for
lighting the streets with 10 lights, and
is S157.50 q month, or 81, 800 year.
Now the question arrises, can the
city afford this expenditure? At the
present rate of receipts and disburse-
ments, the city is going ahead at the
rate of about 81, 500 year, its receipts
being that much greater than its ex-
penditures. With the extra expendi-
ture of 1880 a year for lights there
would be deficit of nearly S40O a year,
unless the expenses of the other
branches of city government can be
reduced.
City recorder Sinnott is making a
careful examination of the records of
the city, and will submit to the council
at the special meeting called for
Thursday night an estimate of the
probable receipts and disbursements
of the coming year, from which the
council can determine if the luxury OF
lights can be afforded.

Pendleton's Enterprise.

Saturday.morning the Pacific EXPIRES
Co.'S. deliveryman left at this office a
package from the Pendleton Woolen
Mills that contained robe of eight
colors, made of Oregon wool and by an
Oregon factory. The present from
the wooden mills at Pendleton is duly
appreciated by tho editor of the Times
Mountaineer, but produces a feeling
of regret because the handsome robe
was not manufactured in The Dalles.
Pendleton by her enterprise secured
wooden mill that turns out goods
that compare with those manufactured
by any mill in the world, while The
DaIles, the greatest wool center in the
United States ships its raw material
cles of commerce. 1t is unnecessary
to draw any conclusions. The Dalles
has simply allowed its more enterpris-
ing neighbor to capture an Industry
that should have located here; but this
is no time to moralize-it is a time for
action. Let us enter the field as a
competitor of our enterprising neigh
Dor, and establish factory that will
produce an article equally as good as
the sample of robe which was for
warded to this Office by the Pendleton
mills. Then instead of our merchants
being compelled to place orders with
the Pendleton mills, they will place
them with q home institution.

and family went to Mill creek to spend
Sunday with the family of Theodor,
Mesplie, and no sooner had they ar
rived at the farm when the little boy
aged about 9 years. undertook to oper
ate cider mill that stood in the yard
He set the machine in motion, ther
undertook to feed it with apples. In
doing this he got his right hand mixed
up with couple of cog wheels, and
the hand was terribly lacerated. For.
tunately no bones were broken, but
the flesh on the back of the hand and
fingers was badly cut, and it required
a number of stitches to restore the
fingers to their normal condition. The
boy was brought to town Saturday
night and placed under DR.. HOLSTERS
care.
