the matter for them.
Divine Healer Shrader, who cut such
dash some months since, is now the
brightest attraction of a five cent
dime museum in the east. Virtue
never goes unrewarded.
The Sultan of Turkey announces
that he deeply sympathizes with King
George of Greece. His sympathy is
something like that which Mark
Hanna has for a laboring man.
1t has not been necessary in Oregon
to employ any extra force to bottle
up any of the increased prosperity
brought about by the new administra-
ton, but, on the other hand, extra
forces may be necessary to find it if
times keep on as they now are.
Spain is in the market for another
loan of SAC, ,0O0, 900, to meet the costs OF
military operations in Cuba and the
Philippine islands. Poor, rotten old
Spain is living from borriwing; her
people are driven to death with the
burdens inflicted by her public debts.
They are the chattels of those who own
her bonds.
Spain's treasury has been depleted
by prosecuting the Cuban war, her
immediate resources have all been ex-
hausted, and hera paper currency has
deprecated so per cent. These facts
cannot but result in the Cuban patri-
OTIS finally gaining their liberty. They
can continue the war without means,
but Spain cannot.
Turkey demands of Greece s15,OOO,-
600 as the price of peace. Such indem-
nifty would mean bankruptcy to the
little Grecian kingdom, and while
Turkey is in position to demand her
own terms, having virtually conquered
the Greeks. it would be unjust on the
part of the powers who have assumed
to become mediators, to sanction such
a demand.
An exchange remarks that there
were not enough republicans in the
legislature of 1897 to elect senator.
but that there will be in 1899. Well
out OF 80 members they had So straight
out republicans and seven mongrels,
such as Mitchell republicans ana re-
publicans and taxpayers leagners. If
that wasn't enough, we presume it
would require the whole body COM
posed of republicans.
sMorgan's Cuban resolution has again
come up in the senate, and it seems
likely that something may be done by
our government in the distant future
to relieve the Cuban patriots. When
Spain has drained the last drop of
blood from the Cubans or has starved
3 few more women and children to
death Hale, Hoar and few more old
fossils like them possibly will consent
TO the United States taking action.
The senate finance committee had |
,he Dingley bill under consideration
'or thirty-five days, and this slow
ness of progress indicates that mid
summer will have come and gone
before the bill will be finally passed.
However the changes made by the SEN
Lte committee were Improvements, and
cave the bill rather less Objectionable

louse,

California papers are lamenting the

Judge O. N. Denny is, to say the
asst, persistent. So far President Nc
