\ captain had lost a leg in battle.
The general held him to be incapable
TO serve any longer and sent him his
discharge. After four weeks the cap

leg made. Then he went to the gem
eral and said:

The general at length took back
the discharge. Soon afterward anoth-
er battle occurred, and the captain was
one os the first to attack the enemy.

leg, and he fell down. The officers

OREGON AND FLORIDA.

1t is an extraordinary situation In
American politics when the repub-
licans are dependent for majority in
the United States senate upon the ad-
mission of a senator from Kentucky
and upon the casting vote of the vice.
president from New Jersey. Kentucky
and New Jersey being two traditionally
democratic states. The election. OF
Mr.. Deboe as senator from Kentucky
after conflict lasting sixteen months
makes the number of republicans A in
a senate of SO. He is a resident OF
Crittendon county, on the Ohio river
line, in the western part of the state,
and in congressional district which
is strongly democratic. Mr.. Deboe
has diplomas both as physician and
as lawyer, and also q certificate OF
proficiency as school superintendent
OF course he will be cordially well
coined in the senate by the republicans;
but they are still one vote short OF a
majority without the casting vote OF
Vice-President Hobart of New Jersey.
The Oregon legislature has ad-
journed without choosing a senator;
the Florida legislature is in session,
but no choice of a senator has been
reached. There are forty-five states
and ninety senators, AID these two un-
filed posts leave the senate with
eighty-eight members only. Florida
and Oregon in the balance! Politics
in the senate are much mixed.

OUR TRADE WITH THE ISLAND

In Senator Morgans recent speech
upon the resolution declaring that a
condition ofpublic war exists in Cuba
which demands from our Government
neutrality betwedn the belligerents,
there is striking estimate of Ameri-
can losses by the conflict.
Our imports from Cuba, which were
SIS, 5,67S,67l for the fisical year 1894, fell
to $52,S ,S71 259 in 1895, and to $40, ,0l7, 730
last year; while our exports fell from
$40, ,125. 32l to S12, ,8O7 ,661 and then to ST..
$50, 1850. Thus TO the imports decreased
in the two years nearly one-half, and
the exports nearly two-thirds. In
eight months of the current fisical year
previous to March the exports, being
already so small, held their own, COM
pared with last year; but the imports
made another enormous slump from$26-
900, ITO to $6, 755, ,591 in the correspond
ing periods Of the two years. We may
expect them to show about $4,000, 900
for the year ending June 80 next
against SIS, 600, 600 in 1894.
The loss Of exports tells it's own
story; the loss of imports includes
loss Of carrying trade; then there is
the loss of American property in Cuba.
This last embraces not only the direct
ravages of war upon the estates, but
cessation of industries in which money
is invested. And if the devastating g
war goes on much longer, what burden
of taxation will not fall upon property?

GOALS OF FIRE.

The Oregonian's Washington cor
respondent telegraphed an item to that
paper that will cause the ardor of some
would-be federal officers to be decid-
edly blighted. 1t is this:
1t can be authoritatively stated
that President Mckinley will not ap-
point any member of the Oregon legis-
lature to an office until the senator
ship from that state is settled, and it is
known whether there is to be special
session. 1t is the idea of the presi-
dent that he does not wish to reduce
the republican vote in the legislature
if another session should be held"
This policy, if carried out, will be q
heaping of Goals of fire upon the heads
of some of those who staked their all
upon the senatorial contest for forty
days and forty nights, under the prom
ise that they should be rewarded with
federal appointments in payment for
their fealty to their boss. There is
another significance in this item that
is made rather prominent. 1t is that
one of the influences that prevented an
organization of the house at Salem has
the ear of the administration, and will
hold it to the bitter end.

What has he ever done to merit their
affection? What did he do while in
office to win the following of his party.
He wrecked it twice. and gave the
people an administration fraught with
disaster. He was defeated in 1883, and
would have been in 1892 had it not
been for the blunders of the admins
tration preceding the election of that
year. and for the fact that he had a
great party behind him. Now he no
longer has that party following, only
a struggling fragment of Office holders
and benefieiar,es of his admiuistra-
ton, who will in course of time identify
themselves with the gold wing of the
republican party. Cleveland has alien
ated the masses and the breach is so
widened that he never could be q sue
| cessful candidate even were it bene-
fetal to the nation to again entrust the
| high Office of president to his keeping.
So strong is prejudice against Mr..
Cleveland in the democratic party that
it is almost an impossibility to do him
justice. That the prejudice exists is
not wholly his fault, but it does exist
| and is very strong. With this premise
it may be said that the democrats, and
assuredly the republicans too, be-
lieve that Mr.. Cleveland would take a
third term as president could he get
it; and there are not wanting those
who believe he would not refuse a
crown were it offered bim. During
his first term he was very loud in his
protestations that no man should be
president more than one term. The
declaration did much to endear him to
the democracy; but he never repeated
it.
No doubt the sentiments uttered by
Mr.. Bayard find an echo in the breasts
of some admirers of the ex-president,
| but it finds no echo in the breasts OF
the masses of American people, no
matter what their politics. The page
or pages that Mr.. Cleveland will oc-
cupy in American history are already
| completed.

MIR. BAYARD'S IDOL.

1t is only conjecture for anyone al
this early date to predict who will be
the candidate of either great political
party for president in 1900, and Mr.
Bayard's talk about Mr.. Cleveland be.
ing the illogical candidate of the dem.
ocracy' is perfectly idle. 1t is posi-
bly, an easy matter to foretell who will
not be the candidate, and it is safe to
say that Bayard's idol will be in this
list. He and the democratic party
have parted company; though it Is true
there are about him few who have
received favors at his hands, that re-
gard him as the leader of democracy
and the available candidate for three
years hence, but they are insignificant
as regards to numbers.
Mr.. Bayard is one of this small mi
nority, and expresses the belief that be-
fore the present administration shall
end, almost the unanimous vote of the
masses will call upon him to take the
reins of government again. Possibly
Mr.. Cleveland is the s'logical" leader
of democracy, but he will be neither
the nominal nor real leader. He is no
soncer identified with the rank and file
of the democracy, although he is the
leader, the idol, the golden calf of Mr..
Rayard and the rest of the national"
democracy, but this organization is
separate and apart from the democratic
party and so weak numerically that it
cannot hoist its idol up as the leader of
the majority.
But why should the people o. even
any party want Mr.. Cleveland in 1900?

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The house
today. by a-strict party vote, all the re-
publicans favoring and all the demo
Gratis and populists opposing, adopted
resolution providing that the house
meet only on Mondays and Thursdays
until otherwise ordered. 1t was an
nounced that it would be the republi-
can policy to wait on the senate's ac'
tion on the tariff bill.
Bailey, democrat, of Texas, made a
strong but unsuccessful fight to have
the order modified so as to give early
and full consideration to the bank
ruptcy bill. The republicans replied
that they would call the bankruptcy
bill and hold daily sessions on it after
General Henderson's return, but until
then the rule should stand.

PORTLAND STREET CARS.

The Portland Telegram of the 4th
devotes column to lauding the street
car system of that city, and in UNDER
taking to show that the criticisms
regarding the recent wreck on the Mt.
Tabor line are unjust. Among other
things it says:
1.-THE unfortunate street-car acci-
dent of last week, in which lives were
sacrificed, has brought on the street
railway system of Portland storm of
comment, which is utterly and entirely
unmerited. The country newspapers
and the wise-acres of this city have
joined in a general TRADE over the de-
ficient brake equipment Of the Port
land street-cars.
Their claim is entirely at variance
with the facts.
"The truth Is that Portland is as
we'll if not better, equipped, in safety
appliances, for the protection of her
street car traffic than are other cities
of the Union. The roads, the cars, the
electrical and cable propulsions, are
comparatively new-much later than
in many Eastern cities-and the effort
of the different companies has been to
procure the latest of appliances pro.
duced, incident to use on their lines"
Every word of this may be true, still
it is not proof positive that the travel
ing public is reasonably safe while
riding on the street cars of Portland.
The track, cars and other appliances
may be the best to be found anywhere
in the world, yet if they are managed
recklessly, they become dangerous.
Powder, for instance, Is harmless so
long as it is kept from fire, but so soon
as match is applied it becomes dam
gerous.
The fault that has been found with
the street car service In Portland is
not its appliances. but the rate of speed
at which the cars are run over danger
GUS places. The evidence produced at
the coroner's inquest over the victims
of the recent disaster showed that the
car which left the track was running
down steep incline at speed of nine
teen or twenty miles an hour. This
would not be an unusual or dangerous
speed on level track, but it is, or at
least proved to be, dangerous speed
at which to descend an incline of one
hundred feet to the mile. 1t was reck-
lessu ass on the part of the men in
charge of the car, and it is gross neg
ligeuce on the part of the city author

NEW YORK, May A Volo dis

The situation here seems to be inn
proving under the command of Smo-

lery at Reveni. The Greek troops
seem to have better chance of hold
ing the ground which remains.
The army is divided into three di-
visions. Twelve thousand men under
command of Smolenski are at Veles-
tino to defend the approaches to Volo;
5000 men are encamped at Pharsala,
and the rest of the army with Prince
Constantine, 10000 in number, is at
Domokos, south of Pharsala. The last
will have to stand an attack of the
Turks from Trikhala, which was occu.

the harbor, and the panic which pre-
vailed for the last four days is diminish
