THE FUTURE OF OREGON

Did It ever occur 10 Oul many
readers what great possibilities
there are for Oregon in the near
future?
Manv of us have for years felt
that our State was too tar re-
moved from the busy narts OF
trade in the East to successfully
coapete in the worlds great
enterprises. That our isolated
position has heretofore kept us
from being in touch with our
own people of the middle West,
the South and the Atlantic sea-
board, is too true. Many have
quietly y accepted the situation,
while others have chafed and
sought to break our fetters. But
a new awakening is upon us.
New light is shining into our
western doors. New aspirations
are developing our hopes, new
fields are opening before us, new
worlds of trade and commerce
are beckoning us to invade their
fertile fields, which bids fair to
reyolutlonize our methods and
, lend new zeal to our endeavors.
Instead of, as heretofore, looking
to the East for our methods and
, our inspiration we are hereafter II
to look to the West for the tull
f fruition of our hopes.
The war with Spain will free
Cuba, and give to her down
trodden and oppressed people a
stable and enlightened govern,

SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM.
Trouble Between tho state 1nsur-
ancc Commissioners and the Gov.
ernor Has Gone to the Supreme
Court for Settlement.
Goes to the Supreme Court.

The trouble between Gov. Lee and In
surance Commissioner Kipp has culmin-
ated by the governor issuing an order re-
moving Kip from Office and appointing
Ihos. III. Ayres, his private secretary, to
the place. The governor charges that
Commissioner Kipp, through his examiner,
w. A. McClaren, has fraudulently col
lectcd fees for the examination of insure
ancc companies. A demand was made on
MI. kipp to vacatc, which he fatty refused
to do. The governor tllereupon decided
to take matter before the supreme court
for settlement.
The supreme court, on February IL, in a
majority opinion, Fuller dissenting, held
that the application of Gov. Lee for an or
der to show cause was one in which they
should take jurisdiction and set the hear
ing on the order for February .3. They
denied the motion for Il restraining order,
which leaves Kirp in full possession of the
office. In the opinion they did not in any
way pass upon the merits of the case,
leaving that all open for the hearing of
the order. This action settles the matter
until the hearing on the 23d, when the
merits of the case will come before the
court.

DEBs AND BeLLAMY UNITE.

With "a Socialistic Platform.
Edward Bethany. author of ~"Luoking
Backward" and Eugene V. Dcbs, late
head of the American Railway Union and
leader of the Social Democracy, have
united to launch Il new political party.
The Social Democracy will be taken as
the nucleus of the party. This WAS de-
cided upon at a meeting held in Denver
Thursday. Among those present were
licllamy, Debs, James Hogan, once a
leader in the American Railway Union.
Whether the new party would support
Bryan in 1899 Debs is not as vet prepared
to say. The organization propose the
amclioration of social ills on the lines laid
down by Bellamy, George and others. In
April the organization in each state will
elect representatives to attend n state con-
vention in May, and this convention will
choose delegates to the first national con-
vention of the Social Democracy in
Chicago i'll June following.

NO NEWS TO M'klNLEy.

Letter Said to Have Been in His
Possession II Month.
The New York Daily News states on the
highest authority shat the now famous De
LONE letter has becn in the hands of Pres
ident Mckinley for the last month. The
story originates from the highest official of
the Cuban junta, who, presumably, seeing
that the president had no intention of talk
ing up the insult to himself and his coun-
try, decided to make the letter public
through the press. 1t appears that when
the letter was stolen it was shown to sew
eral persons in Havana and then taken to
Consul General Lee. Gen. Lee at once
cabled in secret code a copy of the docu-
ment, which was received by the state de-
partmcnt in Washington over thirty days
ago. The matter was discussed at several
cabinet meetings, and it was decided to
keep the affair a strict secret. Probably
the dispatch never would have come to
light had not %lloratio Rubens, the counsel
to the Cuban junta in New York, taken
steps to bring it about.

CUBA IN THE SENATE.
Two Warm Resolutions Regarding
the War Introduced.


the War Introduced.
In the national senate Tuesday Senator
Mason of Illinois presented the following:
Resolved, That the president of the
United States is hereby requested TO notify
Spain and the insurgents that the Cuban
war, so called, must at once cease and he
discontinued, and that the United States
of America will maintain peace on the
island.
Senator Cannon offered another resolu-
ton which is in part as follows:
Whereas, The people of the republic
Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free
n independent;
Whereas, Continuance of the barbarous
warfare of Spain in her attempt to subju-
gate the patriots of that republic is in vio-
lation of the laws of humanity, and is full
justification for the demand by the United
States that Spain shall Withdraw her land
and naval forces from Cuba:
Resolved, by the senate, That the presi-
dent of the United States is urged to notify
the kingdom of Spain that if Spain shall
fail to recognize the independence of the
republic of Cuba OF or before the 4th day
of March, 1898, the government of the
United States will on that date recognize.
the bclligercncy of the Cuban patriots,
and within thirty days thereafter assert
the independence of the republic of Cuba.

Bradstreet's Weekly Review.


Bradstrcet's weekly review for last week
says: A number of favorable circum-
stances and events present themselves this
week. Perhaps the most notable of these
are the renewed activity and confidence in
the iron and steel market. Less favorable
features of the week are the slowness of
spring trade in dry goods 10 develop at
New York and other eastern c%entcrs, cX-
cept Boston, and the mild weather in the
northwest, rendering it likely that retail
ers' stocks carried over will be larger than
earlier expected. The advance in cotton
has undoubtedly impaired a much more
cheerful tone to the southern business
situation and with the advance in iron and
steel has done much to add to the conf
dence with which the trade outlook for
1898 is regarded.
