Resolutions VIII Be More Like Angel s.
Visits.
For number of years we have made
a practice of charging for the publication
OF cards of thanks because they are simply
a medium by which person or family
can convey their thanks to the public,
nothing that interests the general reader.
The time has com when we feel that we
must follow the general custom and
charge for publishing resolutions of re.
spect. These, like cards of thanks, are a
method of expressing the sentiment of q
society towards a deceased member. II
seems necessary but is of no general in
terest to the public and during a year
the Observer has to devote considerable
time and space to them, time that would.
have been used in putting into type mat
ter that would be read with interest by
all our subscribers. Our price for pub.
fishing resolutions of respect will be one
dollar, which is very much less than We
receive for the same amount of space fol-
advertising purposes. We shall expect
cash to accompany the resolutions and
hope our readers will bear this in mine
when their lodge or grange or Sunday
school proposes to send a set of resolutions

The only point, which is entitled to any
consideration that the farmers make
against the order of the Portland Board
of Health is contained in the allegation
that. tuberculin is dangerous to the
healthy COW, diminishing her milk Civ
ing and even rendering her milk deleteri-
Dus to the human consumer. If this al
legation be true, they have good case
against general use of tuberculin to test
their herds. But after having got through
The legislature a bill which compels the
testing and branding of all feed stuff that
is brought into this State before it can
be sold-after having invoked the power
of the State to protect the COWS from i'm
pure and adulterated food, they can
hardly have the assurance to object to
similar protection for the human being.
AS to the danger of tuberculin the great
weight of authority is against the farm
ers' view, though doubtless there can be
found veterinarians who are fearful lest
tuberculin may do harm, justyas there are
physicians who will advise against yacci-
nation on the ground that some poison
may be conveyed into the system by the
virus.

1t seems altogether probable now that
the Queen Regent will invite Canovas to
continue at the head of the Spanish gov
eminent and that he will accept and
form new ministry. Indeed it looks as
If the chief purpose of Canovas's resigna-
ton was to get rid of certain members
OF the cabinet who could not readily be
got rid of in any other way. But there
are indications that whether Canovas
remains or Sagasta succeeds him there is
to be change in the Captain General
ship of Cuba, the programme being to
retire Gen. Weyler and appoint in his
place Gen. Martinez Campos. 1t will be
remembered that Weyler succeeded
Campos, the latter being forced to retire
because of popular opposition in Spain
to what was regarded as too lenient a
policy toward the rebels. Canpos did
not shoot enough captured prisoners to
satisfy the popular feeling, and Weyler
was sent out to initiate a vigorous
policy" He had acquired reputation
in the last Cuban war that gave ample
assurance that his policy would be strong
and vigorous enough to suit, and he en-
barked from Spain amid the hurrahs of
the Spaniards Weyler predicted on leav-
ing Spain that in a year he would have
the rebellion thoroughly subdued. That
he did not succeed was not due to any
deficiency of severity on his part. Unless
he has been much lied about, he has
treated insurgents in arms and non-com
batants very much alike, shooting them
indiscriminately. He has made desert
of vast tracts of the island and tried to
call it peace. He has declared over and
over again that certain provinces were
pacifed, only to have the lie given to his
words by new outbreaks and raids by the
insurgents. At last the Spanish govern
ment seems to have been forced to the
conclusion that vigorous policy of the
Weyler kind will never succeed in pacify-
ing the island, and has turned to the
general it recalled because he did not do
enough shooting and hanging. 1t is pos
sible had Campos been confined in COM
mand and his suggestions of reforms been
complied with that he might have paci-
fed the island. There is little chance
that he can do it now. The Weyler policy
has quenched the last spark of loyalty in
the natioos, and they can be brought back
under Spanish dominion only by force,
and the necessary force the events of the
two last years have very conclusively
shown that Spain cannot supply.

REED,
est. Louis Globe-Democrat.


1t has fallen to Thomas B. Reed to rem.
der vital assistance to three Presidents in
the execution of their policies In the
whole history of the government there
is no other service which parallels this.
AS Speaker of the Fifty first Congress
with its close majority Mr.. Reed prevent,
dent Harrison, much to the latter's salts
faction, after the Senate had committed
itself. As the leader of the Republicans
of the House, Mr.. Reed enabled President
Cleveland to carry out his earnest desire
to repeal the Sherman silver-purchasina
act. And more recently the power of this
individuality has enabled President Nc
Kinley to delay the belligerency resolu.
ton until he can formulate fully his
Cuban policy. Three administrations Mr.
Reed has put under deep obligations to
him, while at the same time carrying out
his own views of what the public weal
demanded.

these proposals, and it is believed Great

The New York Times says editorially:
The so-called Nelson bankruptcy bill,
which has passed the Senate and gone to
the house, is in some important feature
a mischievous bill. Three essentials of
a bankruptcy act are that its operation
should be fair to all interests; that it
should be as prompt as is consistent with
justice; that it should entail the least
possible expense. The Senate bill fails in
every one of these essentials. It is not
fair to all interests. 1t excludes corpora
tions from its operation, though a large
and increasing share of business through
out the country is in the hands of corpora
lions, many of them small 1t does not
provide for an equal ratable division OF
assets. By the brief time allowed for
filing claims-thirty days-it gives an op-
portunity for proceedings to be begun and
closed by only portion of the creditors.

Mercur Mercury Jottings.

On the West Dip group, mile below
Sunshine-the property which has re-
ceived favorable mention in these col
umns regarding it's showing of free
gold-a shaft and incline both are be-
ing driven simultaneously. The 25-foot
point was reached the middle of this
week in both shafts. They are pene-
! tratlng the lead and every indication
! goes to show that Messrs. Beauregard
and Nichols are prospecting the ground
most systematically. Another lot Of
! free gold came in sight for the third
/ time Just the other day and is as fine
4 as flour, but Mr.. Beauregard does not
expect TO find a free gold proposition.
He will content himself with running
into a body of cyanide ore and there is
every indication Of having that hope
| realized as the vein is a nice and strong
one and assays have been obtained
from the incline running at high as IS.
The Eagle company this week levied
It's first assessment, amounting to IL
cents per share. The Eagle is a promis-
ing property and in its palmy days
several stratas of ore were cut, both
arsenical and oxidized, from which
good assays were obtained. The man
agement, however, thought the main
ore body lay deeper and sunk on down
below the footwall into the silver coun-
try. With the money raised by this
assessment the company propose, we
understand, to drift on these strata,
and every probability is that by so do
ing they will make a mine of the prop
erty.
A H. Griswold, of Wadsworth, New,
a director of the Anderson company,

south OF the Hillside, was in camp this
week examining the property and not
ing progress. The work is going for
ward in a very satisfactory manner,
under the management of George Nc
kennett. The property has been equip
ped with a new whim, and the shaft
driven down to the 200-foot level,
through hard, black lime, which is
changing at present, however, to a soft
lime with favorable mineral indica-
tons. The company expect to prosecute
work all summer and go to the 400
foot level, if values are not encountered
sooner
The shaft on the Gold Point group is
down 125 feet and the work is being
pushed by Manager Johnson. The
property lies on the dip, east of the
Overland, where fine ore bodies have
been developed, and the calculation is
that the ore zone will be encountered
at a depth of not exceeding 400 feet
There is an excellent surface showing
feeders from the main vein showing
milling ore. Manager Johnson feels
that he has sure thing and will get
down to the main vein as rapidly as
possible
