The Cascade Reserve Cases Will Not Be
Prosecuted.


WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Following
the recommendation of Commissioner
Hermann, of the general land office,
the attorney-general has instructed
the United States district attorney for
Oregon to suspend for the present the
legal proceedings pending in that dis
trict growing out of the sheep pastur-
ing within the limits of the Cascade
range forest reserve.
The commissioner of the land office
has submitted to the secretary of the
interior an elaborate statement show
ing the facts regarding the Cascade
forest reserve in Oregon, reciting it's
history from its inception to the pres
ent, and the legislation in congress as
to all forest reserves. In this state
ment the commissioner recommends
that the former order of the depart
ment forbidding pasturing on the re-
serve be revoked entirely, or SO modi-
fed as to permit pasturing under
regulations to be prescribed by the de-
Dartment

New YORK, May ia special to
the Journal from Havana says:
The opening of private letters by
Weyler's postoffice employees has been
made the subject of energetic protests
by more than one local consul. The
representative of q leading South

the palace to complain that his mail,

the United States marine hospital
service, detailed here as assistant sani-

Upon the DOCTORS complaint General

WASHINGTON, May 19.-In an au-

"I am going at once to call on the

TWO OBJRCT LESSONS.

Shortly before the November elec-
tion the Waltham Watch Company
called its two thousand employees to-
gether and showed an immense num-
Der of orders received contingentup
the election of Mckinley. ''If Nc
Kinley is elected" said the Waltham
managers, these orders will be filled,
and that means plenty of work. II
Bayan is elected, the orders will be
cancelled" This was an object lesson
which the laborers could easily under
stand, and like almost all others whose
living depended upon the ability of
their employers to give them work,
they voted for the man whose election
was to. make it certain that work
would be furnished them.
Those orders may have been filled,
but evidently no new ones have came
in, for q large force of finishers in the
factory have been laid off indefinitely,
and the factory will be closed down in
q short time awaiting revival of the
demand for watches, which will come
when prosperity is restored.
This is second object lesson for
the employees, and one they will not
soon forget. Possibly they were short
sighted in not inquiring into how long
orders would continue to be received
by the Walthams if Mr.. Mckinley was
elected, or how long the factory would
be closed If Mr.. Bryan should succeed,
before they delivered their votes; but
be that as it may, they have learned
that the advance agent of prosperity is
unable to bring the steady employ
ment, and when called upon to vote
again they will exercise their judg-
ment as to whose success is most likely
to bring them steady work, the candi-
date who promises them scarce and
dear money. or the one who promises
them abundant and cheap money.

Starved Herself to Death.

BOSTON, May 20-Miss Fannie Rich
ardson, the famous wealthy old maid
miser hermit, starved herself to death
IN her impenetrable castle here yester-
day, while from $50, 900 to Sl0O, 900 lay
there boarded. She was 76 years of
aye. For half a century no human
foot save her own had crossed her
Threshold, and she had not stepped
outdoors in all that time. She lived
in miserable tenement.house in the
very busiest section of the city. She
owned the house, and kept it looking
as il vacant all the time, all the blinds
being closed and the doors locked.

Well if Mr.. Wanamaker is really ear

eral Coxey, who has alienated him
self from the populists and Grover
| Cleveland, who is in diafavor with the

The report of the CON missioner of
pensions for the year ending June 80,
1896, shows that there were paid out
for pensions during the year, Sl39, ,2S0,-
075, and there were 970.524 pensioners
figures that according to mortuary
tables the last of these pensioners will
die in 1915. eighty years after the close
of the civil war. Since 1851 the gov
ernment has paid out ST, ,997 ,515, 154 for
pensions, and if the Worlds estimates
are correct will have paid ont nearly
billion more before the last survivor |
of the war shall die. This array of |
figures should cause people who talk |
about future wars to count the cost for |
pensions before plunging the country
into another turmoil.
Teachers associations in Minnesota
are asking for the passage of state
law providing for the payment of pen
sions to teachers who have taught in
the public schools twenty five years
continuously-the fund for the pay
ment to be raised by tax of per cent
on their selaries. There is nothing
wrong in this idea, since we have be-
come so liberal in the matter of PEN
sions. The teacher who has welded
the rod for quarter of O century in
the public schools has rendered as
great a service as the soldier who
served four years putting down the re-
bellion. Besides the burden of PEN
sioning the teachers will not fall upon
the people at large, but will be born
by the teachers themselves. By all
means let Minnesota pass the law.

poor condition to enter into specula

Interest rates are dropping in the
East, which shows that confidence is
restored, and at the same time shows
that prosperity is not yet tapped. For
when times are good interest is high,
because money is in demand for trans.
acting business. At present all that
1t Is needed for is to stow away in
vaults, and if these times keep on
much longer even bankers will get
too poor to. loan their money.
The porte has replied officially to the
powers, and declines to agree to armis-
tice with Greece except on the follow
ing conditions; The annexation of
Thessaly; anindemnity of 10000. and
the abolition of capitulations. These
terms are distasteful to the powers,
but as none of them feel disposed to
enter into war with Turkey, they
likely will be granted.
At conference of the state com.
mittees of the silver republicans,
populists and democrats, held at Des
Moines, Iowa, last week, it was decided
to hold three conventions in that city
on June 23d, to nominate a joint state
ticket. That is eminently proper,
and such action should be taken every
where. Unless this is done in Oregon
in 1898, the republicans will again
sweep the state.
Richard Olney, Cleveland's attorney
general and secretary of state, would
pose as the national democrats candi-
date for PRESIDENT in 1900. Let him
haye the pleasure if there be pleasure
in it. for the candidate of that party
will be nothing more than a candidate.
He can never expect to be president
Or even get more than a quarter of a
million votes for that office.
