Bad management keeps more
people in poo: circumstances than
any other one cause. To be sue
cessful one must look ahead and
plan ahead so that when a favor
able opportunity presents itself he
is ready to take advantage of it.
A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time.
A prudent and careful man will
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Co.
lie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
in the house, the shiftless fellow
will wait until necessity compels it
and then ruin his best horse going
for a doctor and have a big doctor
bill to pay, besides: one pays out
IS cents, the other is out a hundred
dollars and then wonders why his

I was seriously afflicted with a
cough for several years, and last
fall had a more severe cough than
ever before. 1 have used mauy
remedies without receiving much
relief, and being recommended to
try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, by a friend, who, know
ing me to be a poor widow, gave it
to me, I tried it, and with the most
gratifying results. The first bottle
relieved me very much and the Sec
ond bottle has absolutely cured me.
I have not had as good health for
twenty years. Respectfully, MRS.

REMEMBER THIS PROMISE.

One of the solemn and absolute
promises made in return for the re-
election of Thos. H. Tongue to con-
gress was that within THIRTY
DAYS from the date of his r~e-elec-
ton the appropriation for Yaquina
Bay would be passed and work
would 60 forward at once. There
were no conditions attached to this
promise; it was absolute and posi-
tive. When it was made and
spread throughout Benton and Lin
coin counties war was already in
progress with Spain, and the ext
gencies of war cannot be urged
should this solemn and sacred
promise fail of redemption. No
question as to the finances of the
country vas to head off this prom
Use.
We hope and expect that this
promise will be sacredly kept. 1t
was a compact and a bargain with
the people. They delivered the
votes of these counties to Mr..
Tongue, and on or before the 9th
day of July, A. D. 1898, the appro-
priation of $1oo, 900 is to be a law
of the land, or else the contract
made with the sovereign voters will
have been broken, and that by the
man that has received all of the
consideration on the one side.
We do not utter the above in a
doubling spirit; far from it. When
the reelection of Mr.. Tongue was
set as the price that must be paid
to secure any further effort for this
Bay, the people accepted the terms
laid down to them and paid the
price. We do not say this in a
spirit of protest or complaint at the
result of the election, but we don't
wish to be classed among those
who doubt the many and various
kilograms and letters that have been
scattered broadcast over the dis
trict. By no means.
Rather we would be among the
rejoicing ones, for we feel that the
day will be glorious for this coun-
try when this appropriation is made
and the work goes forward.
And just think, this will occur
on or before the 9th day of June,
A. d. 1898. No strings on this
promise; its all straight goods.
Only twenty-seven days more at
the fa1therest before this matter is
all fixed up.
Remember this: on or before July
9th, 1898.
Don't forget the date or the prom
Use.

A Torpedo Boat OF the United States Navy

ante Oquendo from western waters
Spain has acted in a manner which is
approved by naval experts when think
ing of her interests. At the Cape
Verde islands they will join the ar
mored cruisers Cristobal Colon and In
fanta Maria Teresa, which are en-
route to that place, and the first tor

stated. consists of the transport steam

stroyers Fueror, Terror and Pluton.
and torpedo boats Ariete, Azor and

that the union of the four armOred
cruisers and the fiotilla makes a for
midable force, but it is of course i'm
possible to prevent it at this time. 1t
had been hoped by the officials that
the American fleet would be able to
catch and destroy the Vizcaya and

mainder of the Spanish feet, and it is
admitted that Spain acted with good
judgment in directing them to pro-
coed to Cape Verde.

Resolved, ETC., That the president is
hereby authorized and directed to in
tervene at once to stop the war in
Cuba to the end and with the purpose
of securing permanent peace and order
there, and establishing by free action
of the people there of stable and in
dependent government of their own in
the island of Cuba, and the president
is hereby authorized and empowered
to use the land and naval forces of the
United States to execute the purpose
of this resolution.
The members of the house foreign
affairs committee in a report signed
by five democrats and Mr.. Newlands,
silverite, have agreed to the following
! resolutions as substitute for the ma
/ jority report. 1t follows:
Resolved, That the United States
government hereby recognizes the in
| dependence of the republic of Cuba.
! Second That, moved thereto by
many considerations of humanity, of
! interest and of provocatiOn, among
which are the deliberaee mOOring of
our battle ship, the Maine, over a sub
marine mine and its destruction in the
harbor of Havana, the president of the
| United States be, and hereby is, di-
rected to employ Immediately the land
and naval forces of the United States
in aiding the republic of Cuba to main
tain the independence hereby recog-
nized.
Sec 8. That the president of the
United States is hereby authorized
j: i so4o
lief to the starving people of Cuba.
By a strict party vote the house or
dered previous question on Cuban res
olutions, thus cutting debate to 20
minutes on side.
The minority report was rejected by
vote of 90 to 151 by the house. The
substitute was defeated by vote of
$50 to 191. Mr.. Dinsmore then moved
to recommit with instructions to re-
port back an amendment recognizing
the indie dependence of the Cuban repub-
lie. The vote on the motion to recon-
nit was taken by ayes and noes. 1t
was lost, 146-19O.
The house of representatives then
after one of the most exciting and
memorable days in its history, by a
vote of 500 to 10, adopted a resolution
which nine-tenths of it's members be-
lieves makes war with Spain inevita-
BILE. 1t is a fact which was grimly
commented upon Wednesday by mem
bers as they spoke of the future, that
every war in which the United States
has engaged in commenced in April,
and that Wednesday was the ami
versarv of Old Fort Sumter, which
aroused the patriotic fervor of the
north and made the four years of civil
strife certainty.

They said also that they were sure
that this line of conduct on the part of

because the negotiations were based
on an acknowledgements of Spanish
sovereignty in Cuba
They told me that the conduct of
Spain would be adjusted to that of the

fact of the continuance of military and
naval preparations in the United
States, Spain was fully justified in car

that the Minneapolis fouled her an

in an effort to free it. Finally. when
near Cape Henry, the Minneapolis not

dore Schley sent the Columbia back to
Fort Monroe to tell the Minneapolis
that she could find the rest of the

Beyond this fact none of the officers
or men on board the Brooklyn were
aware at 6 o'clock of her destination
and Commodore Schley declined to say
what her mission was.
The squadron presented a most i'm

Of Cuba as organized in that island, as
a free, independent and sovereign
power among the nations of the
world.
1t was signed by Senators Turpie,
Mills, Daniel and Foraker.
The reading of the report occupied
AZ minutes. Mr. Hoar demanded that
the resolution lie over the rules until
Thursday. The vice-president reserv-
ed his decision on the point of order.
Mr.. Foraker yielded to Mr. Turpie
Mr.. HOar demanded to know what the
pending question was. Mr.. Turpie
presented minority report from the
foreign committee.
1t looks as if the conservative sena-
tors would delay the Cuban resolution
by debate.
Notwithstanding the decision of the
vice president, Senator Foraker pro-
ceeded to discuss the Cuban question
on its general merits.
All Cuban resolutions went over in
! the senate, but talk on Cuba continued
! nevertheless.
! At 2:52 p m. Mr. Adams, of Penn
| sylvania, acting chairman of the COM
! mittee on foreign affairs, entered the
| house with the report. Instantly all
was quiet. Members took their seats
and silence came out of the confusion
for the first time during the session OF
three hours. The republicans of the
committee on rules, the speaker
Messrs. Henderson and Dalzell, imme-
diately held a session to formulate a
rule under which the house should op.
| crate.
There will be 20 minutes of debate
on a side. At exactly 1903 o'clock the
speaker recognized Mr.. Adams. acting
chairman of the foreign affairs com
mittee. He asked unanimous consent
for the consideration of the resolu
tions which ne submitted. Absolute
silence prevailed as the resolutions
| were read.
The resolution is preceded by the
following whereases:
Whereas, the government of Spain
for three years past has been wagine

warfare in a manner contrary to the

Second. That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the gov
eminent of the United States does
hereby demand, that the government
of Spain at once relinquish it's author
ity and government in the island of
Cuba and withdraw it's land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Third. That the president of the
United States be and hereby is directed
and empowered to use the entire land
and naval forces of the United States,
and call into the actual service of the
United States the militia of the sew
eral states to such extent as may be
necessary to carry these resolutions
into effect.
The house was in furore of excite
ment during the preliminary bust
ness. No attention was paid to it.
The members crowded about Mr.. Adj
ans, acting chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, who brought over
the printed copy of the senate resolu-
tionS and read them aloud to half a
hundred members in the main aiSleS.
The democratic members of the
house foreign affairs committee have
refused to join with the republicans on
the resolutions drafted by them, and it
is stated will report minority resOlu-
tions calling for immediate recognition
OF the present Cuban republic.
The report of the senate committee
on foreign relations en- the Cuban stu
alton was made by Senator Davis,
chairman of that committee, and was
very thorough review of the entire
situation, and strong presenta-
ton of the facts which has
led the committee to its conclU'
sions. The report takes up the
Maine disaster as the leading topic for
consideration and plunges into that
question in its first sentence. which is
as follows: The destruction of the
United States battle ship Maine of two
of her officers and of 264 of her ere W
in the harbOr of Havana, on the night
of February 10. 1898, excited to an I'M
precedented degree the compassion
and resentment of the American PEG
pie"
Continuing. the report says: MAN
ifestatiOns of that resentment were
suspended. although the feeling was
not allayed, by the self-restraint o.
our people, who determined to hole
their Judgment in suspense concerning
their ultimate action until an Official
investigation should disclose the cause
of that great disaster and enable then
by direct or circumstantial testimony
to impute the responsibility therefor
That investigation had been made

proof the efficient personal cause o.
that sinister event was the usual one
of exposing plotted and mysteriou

obscures its official and responsible

sion itself of the Maine was linked
with a series of precedent transac
tions (which can not in reason be dis
disconnected from it Z"

''With animuS by Spain so plainly
apparent that no one can even plausi

for the conclusion of the Investigating
mind must come in considering the en-
tire subject of the relations of the
United States with that government.
1t is the opinion of your committee
that the destruction of the Maine was
compassed either by the official act of
the Spanish authorities or was made
possible by a negligence on their part
so willing and gross as to be equiva-
lent in culpability to positive criminal
action"
''When property and life are de-
stroyed by an act which the exercise
of due diligence by the person whose
duty it is to use it could have pre-
vented the happening of such an event
is sufficient proof that that diligence
was not employed"
The time of the explosions" says
the report must have been calcu-
lated for the moment when the Maine
should swing within the destructive
radius of the mine"

duplicity, perfdy and cruelty of the

have been, demonstrated still to con-
