When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body you are going to fall sick. The
signs OF it are: Loss of flesh, paleness,
weakness. nervousness. etc. The repair
needed is food. You think you eat
enough, and yet you feel that you wear
out more tissue, energy, nerve-force,
than your food makes Tor you. The diff
Guilty is that you do not digest enough.
And this is so serious it is worth sitting
down seriously to think about. If you
can't digest what you eat, take few

ate foreign relations committee waited
upon the president and asked what
policy he would pursue toward Cuba,
and were told in confidence shat it
was not his purpose at the present time
to change the attitude of the admins
tration or 10 do anything which could
be construed by Spain as manifes-
tation OF sympathy with the insurgents.
For that reason. he said, he had re-
Trained from sending warships to Hav-
ana to protect American interests.
The president told the senators that so
long as the status quo was maintained
and no overt acts were committed by
the Spanish involving the lives or
property of American citizens, the ad-
mlnistration would not change its ex-
isting position"
This statement, too, is so plain that
anybody can understand its purport.
The cause of the Cuban patriots, so
far as the administration is concerned,
is abandoned, and until the Spanish
government shall commit some overt
act toward American citizens there
will be no interference. Spain can
throw our citizens into prison, where
they are starved or allowed to die from
the ravases of loathsome diseases. can
prevent their pursuing peaceful occu-
pations and destroy their property by
refusing to allow them to plant or
harvest their crops, still our govern
ment will not change it's attitude.
Spain must almost declare war against
the United States before the admins
tration will hazard offending a friendly
power by intervening in the name of
humanity to prevent murder and
pillage.

d SAMPLE INSPECTION.

Monday afternoon the Oregon rail-
road commissioners passed through
The Dalles in private car on what
they choose to call tour of inspection
of the o. r. & N. road. AZ the rate
of speed at which they came into and
went out of The Dalles it was evident
that they were inspecting" the road
on the fly, and if they kept up that
rate through to Huntington, their
knowledge of the condition of the road
will perfect at least in one respect
that it is safe for running fast trains.
Outside of this they will know nothing.
So far as practical utility is con-
cerned this is probably all the knowl-
edge they require, and in fact all that
is needed, for it is in the interest of all
railroad companies to keep their road
beds in reasonably safe condition.
This they would do without going to
the trouble of hauling the three COM
missioners over the road on q special
train twice year. But the fact that
this is their mode of inspecting is an
accumulation of evidence of their per-
feet uselessness to the state. ALI they
do is to pass over the roads and pre-
tend to perform service that would
be done by the railroad companies
themselves. Still they draw their
l.
eaters until a legislature is elected
that has the honesty to decapitate Of
fetal leeches.

a BREACH OF FAITH.

When President Mckinley was in.
augurated it was believed that in him
the struggling patriots of Cuba would
find friend, and the American citiz-
ems residing in Cuba, who are being
deprived of their liberty and their
property by Spanish authorities, pro-
tector, at least one who would de-
mand that their rights be respected,
that their property be not confiscated
and their lives be not placed in jeop-
ardy. This belief was encouraged by
the declaration, "The government of
spain, having lost control of Cuba,
and being unable to protect the prop
erty or lives OF resident American
citizens, or to comply with its treaty
obligations, we believe the govern
ment of the United States should
actively use its influence and good of
fees to restore peace and give inde-
penssnce to the island" that was a
part of the platform on which the
president was elected. This declara--
tion is so positive that it needs NC
comment; it is not susceptible of q
double construction.

there was more destitution, more want,
more suffering, and more idle people,
than today: There is not an industry
In the broad land that is really pros
porous, and few there are that are

are lame:table facts, nevertheless they
are true.
Farmers, although assured of abund-

allowing their goods to grow old and
shelf-woru because of the inability of
customers to pay for them. Bankers
are unable to loan their money be-
cause producers are deprived of the
ability to earn means with which to
meet the interest demands and furnish
adequate security for loans. Factories
are standing idle for want of customers
to purchase their product.
These are conditions that all deplore,

is folly for even strict partisans to
claim the contrary in the hope of set

Failing to Isecure (. Pardon the Courts
Will be Resorted to Again.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE ap.
peal Of Theodore Durrant for mercy
will be presented today to Governor
Budd. Several petitions are in circu-
lation in the city. An effort has been
made to secure the signatures of busi-
ness men, but little success is had. The
petitions will not be withdrawn until
Thursday, when the attorneys will
start for Sacramento.
While the greatest force of Durrant's
representatives will be directed toward
Governor Budd, some attention is also
given to the legal phases that still re-
main in the case. While nothing will
be left undone to win executive
clemency provision is still being made
for the contingency of failure. If the
governor refuses to interfere, the
lawyers wish to be in position to con-
tinue their battle in the courts.
No time has been lost in filing with
the supreme court the transcript on
appeal from the order of Judge Bahr's
sentencing Durrant to death. The
communication is now in pose ssion of
the appellate tribunal. The transcript
includes no fact that has not already
been published. The only significant,
point is that in which the defena,
claims that Durrant is under double
sentence, Imprisonment at San
Quentin and death. This appeal as
already indicated, will not act as
stay of execution. Proceedings in the
federal courts will be commenced as
soon as possible.

liz UNITY is STRENGTH.

That there is demand for the for
nation of a union party in Oregon to
combat the regular republican party,
which in this state has fallen into
hands that are not In unison with the
interests of the masses-into the hands
OF professional office seekers and de-
signing politicians-is unquestioued.
Were proof necessary to convince the
casual observer of this fact, he need
only be referred to the failure of the
republican party to organize the legis-
lature. with clear majority in both
houses, and pass remedial legislation
for the relief of the taxpayers. That
this failure was largely due to the in
fiuence of professional Office holders,
whose only hope of retaining office was
in preventing organization of the legis-
lature, is not disputed, Notwithstanding
the senatorial contest is held out as
the controlling influence.
With such an example before them
it should require but little argument
to convince the taxpayers that it will
be to their advantage to take the state
government out of the hands of the
regular republican party as speedily
as possible.
How this may be accomplished is a
matter for cool and deliberate con-
sideration. That it can be done by
union of the reform forces, those who
honestly believe that public officers
are public servants, and not licensed
robbers, is certain. though how best
to accomplish such union has not
yet been made plain, however move
in the right direction has been insti-
tuted by the calling of a mass conyen-
tion of reform forces to meet at Albany
on June ID. 1t is proposed that this
convention shall be composed of dele
gates sent by the democrats, populists
and those republicans who have aline-
ated themselves from the regular
party organization, and are known as
silver republicans; that they shall be
empowered to enter into agreement
for uniting the three parties under one
organization, so that in the campaign
of 1898 they may be able to successfully
cope with the opposition.
Numerically the three parties are suf-
fciently strong to carry every county
in tho state. and to elect legislature of
their own selecting, but singly none of
them can hope to succeed. United they
can elect state and legislative officers,
but divided they insure again turning
over the state government in every
branch to the republicans. Honest,
conscientious men, who hold principle
above party name, cannot fail to see
the advantages to result from union,
and such will readily consent to the
Albany conference.

less than 5000, 10000 and imported
something like $500, 100000 of manu-
factured goods. Domestic transac-
tiOns in corn alone amounted to nearly
as much as our entire foreign trade in
manufactures, being 1914, ,9S5, ,534. Our
domestic sales of coal and iron were
greater than our entire foreign tradein
raw materials. Our farm products
consumed at home were greater than
our entire foreign trade in all articles.
With domestic commerce amount
ing to over $4,000, 900, 900, will any
sane person insist that it is necessary
to maintain a certain standard of
money to facilitate foreign transac-
tions, both of export and import, OF
less than $1,000, 100000? Would the
consistent financier confine himself to
a dear and difficult to earn dollar on
which to transact $50 worth of home
business in order that he might have
81 of the same money on which to effect
foreign exchange? Is it economy for
US to restrict ourselves to single
standard in our domestic commerce, to
keep closed our stocehOuses of wealth
the silver mines-to reduce our citizens
to penury and want, simply that we
may have money that is convenient
to transact less than one twenty-ifth
of our trade?

SOUND RESOLUTIONS.

The National Association of demo-
cratic clubs, which met recently in
Washington City, adopted, among
other resolutions, the following:
"But as members of the executive
committee assembled at time when
these fundamental principles are about
to be disregarded by an administration
recently installed, and by a lars g
majority of the house OF representa-
tives proceeding almost avowedly to
exert their enormous power to lay the
county and all the industrial classes
under tribute to a vast combination OF
monopolies, in utter contempt of con-
stitutional limitations, of republican
principles and of popular rights, we
feel it our duty to call your attention
to the peculiar situation and to urge
you to that vigilance which has been
and ever must be the price of liberty.
SIN common with many who last
year voted republican tickets under
secret protests, and with serious mis-
givings as to the future. we supposed
that the administration and its friends
in congress, charged with unlimited
power and conscious of the grave re-
sponsibility. would see the necessity
of proceeding in rational manner
and that they would, at all events, not
feel it incumbent upon them to further
disturb the business of the people by
rushing into the revision of the tariff
laws for the sole purpose OF repaying
the vast outlays of the combined mono
polists in the late campaign. But we
see at this time that they are resolved
to grant no delay in the execution OF
fixed and ruthless design. They insist
that the taxes are not high enough,
under the present law. They are to
be made higher and the producing
element, already impoverished by ad-
verse legislation, is to be made to SUI
fer still more in the increased prices
of clothing, their food and other neces-
saries 6f life, including the imple-
ments of their industries.
"A party which openly uses the ter
r1ble power of taxation for private en-
richment and for corresponding OPP
preston of the people can not be ex-
pected to use any other power. with
moderation and justice. Although the
paramount question before the people
was and is that of the single gold
standard, as against the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and gold, and
a mighty majority of the whole people
declared unequivocally for bimetalism.
either independently or by inter-
national agreement, as promised by
the republican party, we see not the
slightest indication of any disposition
to move in that direction.
"While all Industries languish, while
the gold dollar appreciates, and the
silver dollar is denied its natural eco-
nomic function, while nation waits
and suffers, tariff schedules are being
revised for the exclusive benefit OF the
tax, eaters and the gold owners are
tacidly assured that they need appre-
bend no encroachments upon their
which is visibly appropriat-
ing the profits of the labor of civilized
mankind. To the complaints OF the
people, the answer is returned, namely,
More taxes and dearer currency
with which to pay them"

NO CHANGE OF POLICY

Tho Administration VIII Not Interfere In
Cuban Affairs.
CHICAGO, May ia special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
An important conference held at the
White House between President Nc
Kinley and Senators Davis and Nor
gan was the result of the decision
reached by the committee not to con-
tinue the debate in the senate on Sem
ator Morgan's s resolution recognizing
the beligerency of the Cubans until
the exact policy of the administration
had been defined. This was partly
due to the semi-announcementb by Sem
ator Foraker that the administration
had its own policy and would treat the
Cuban question in the proper way
when the time came.
The members of the committee
plainly asked the president what he
intended to do. In confidence he told
them that it was not his purpose at
the present time to change the attitude
OF the administration or to do anything
which could be construed by Spain as
manifestation of sympathy with the
insurgents. For that reason, he said,
he had refrained from sending war
ships to Havana to protect American
interests. The president told the SEN
ators that so long as the status quo
was maintained and no overt acts were
committed by the Spanish involving
the lives or property of American citi-
zens, the administration would not
change its existing position.
