FOUND DEAD.

Why did he do it? He had everything
to live for,-happy home, wife, friends
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Why?
He couldn't have given a good reason
himself. But everything looked gloony
to him. He was in gloomy frame Of mind.
1t was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of hurry,
rushing and driving at business hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge; his stomach and
liver got out of order; he grew dyspeptic
and melancholy.
When the digestion is out of order there
is little use trying to look on the bright side
of things, practically there isn't any bright
side. This is dangerous condition to get
into. Yet it is easy to get into and mighty
hard to get out of it, unless you go about it
in the right way
There is remedy that has pulled thou
sands of people right out of this depth of
despair. 1t is DR.. Pierce,s Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t acts directly upon the stom-
ach and liver. 1t restores their natural
capacity to nourish and purify the system.
1t purges away bilious poisons, feeds the
nerve centres with healthy, highly vitalized
blood, and drives out the blue devils - of
melancholy and nervousness.

THEY WILL FIGHT.

The Mitchell faction of the repub-
lican party has begun registering its
kick against the action of the recent
republican state convent ton, which Is
an index to what they will do on cleo
ton day. Not having got represent
ative on the ticket, they naturally feel
but little interest in its success, and if
they support it at all, it will be only
on account of the personal popularity
of some of the candidates.
Mitchell's organ, the Portland Trib-
une, last Saturday made grave charges
against some of the Simon lieutenants
of having bought delegates to the state
convention, and very emphatically de-
clares the Mitchellites were sold out.
From the expressions of the Tribune
it is quite evident that all differences
between the two factions in the re-
publican party have not been pleased
by the action of the state convention,
and that the members of one faction
will have their razors out from now
until the 9th of June. The Mitchell
ties got badly set down upon in the
convention, hence are not interested
materially in the success of the ticket.
And as many Of them are silver men at
heart. they find the union ticket more
in harmony with their views. They
can support it with better grace than
they can the gold standard ticket in
whose nomination they had no voice.

HERE Is PATRIOTISM.

There lives in Th Dalles an old SOL
dier who served through the war of the
rebellion, from the time of the first en-
listment to the close of the war, and
who had an approved application fer
pension before the department. All
he had to do to become a pensioner
the remainder of his life was to sign
the final papers and forward them to
Washington. But when the war
clouds with Spain began lowering
over the land, this old patriot and de-
fender of the nation refused to take
the final step. He sees in the threat
ened war that his country is in need
and says he will not become a
burden. 'sThere is need for money
says he, "and the needs of the govern
ment are greater than my own" He
will not accept the pension proffered
him, and will let the money to which
he is entitled remain in the treasury
to be applied in paying the 'boys in
blue" of today.
How many other old soldiers are
thus patriotic? How many of them
will follow the example of this old
veteran of the SOS? If all who are today
receiving pensions that are able to sup
port themselves, would donate their
pension money to the government for
one year, there would be little need of
issuing bonds to prosecute the war with
Spain.
A Madrid correspondent warns this
country to be on guard against naval
surprises. The Maine plot should
serve to make every American vigilant
against Spanish treachery.

NO SI,RAW BIDS

Today bids for carrying the mail be-
tween The Dalles and Prineville
closed, and it is to be presumed that
the contract will be awarded to the
lowest bidder, and it is probably we'll
that the successful bidder, whoever be
may be, had as we'll know now that the
stipulations of his contract must be
complied with. In the past contractors
have put in their bids at about one
half what good service could be given
for, and in order to come out even, they
have given only an excuse for service,
carrying the mail as if it were slow
freight, and delivering it at their
pleasure.
But in the future there will be new
regime. The people of Prineville and
vicinity will see to it that their mails
shall be delivered on time or know the
reason why. If some man has secured
the contract on what he thinks is
straw bid, he will be disappointed. He
will be required to put the mail
through on schedule time, which has
been reduced to % hours, and if he
does not, his bondsmen will be called
upon to COMPEL him to do so.
1t is matter of Importance not only
to Prinev1lle but to The Dalles, that
mails be delivered there promptly and
on time. This is the distributing
point for Prineville and vicinity, aud
it is necessary for the business inter-
ests of this place that good service be
given between the two points. The
here do large mail order
business in Prinevi.le and vicinity,
and they will take an interest in aid
ing their customers out south in secur-
ing good mail service.

WANAMAKER WILL FIGHT

Postmaster. General John Wana-
maker, the wealthy Philadelphia mer-
chant, has notified the secretary of
war that he is at the command of the
government, and in case of war will
raise q regiment and enter the field
with them. Further than offering his
services, Mr.. Wanamaker has had
posted in his store the following
notice:
SIN order that our men may have
easy minds in considering and arrang-
ing their affairs in the event of being
called upon for military services, this
notice is posted to say:
'First-That all the positions thus
vacated will be re-opened to return
when the military service is over.
"Second-That all salaries will con-
tinue in full in such absence for actual
service and to be paid to the authorized
representative of their respective
families.
''Third--An insurance to the amount
of $1,000 will be paid by the firm in
case of each death while any of our
people are actually engaged in military
service"
How does this liberal offer of the ex-
postmaster-general compare with she
imbecility of our president, who
is prostituting his high position to
trail the American flag in the dust?
Mr.. Wanamaker offers his life and his
fortune to maintain the American
honor; Mckinley offers what? To. az
cept Spain's insults, and tax our people
to support those whom Spain is starv-

SUSCEPTIBLE OF ATTACK.

The platform adopted by the state
republican convention is what had
been anticipated-a declaration for the
gold standard, an endorsement OF Presi-
dent McKinley's administration, few
boastful words about the return OF
prosperity, drought about by the in
auguration of the republican party in
to power" and an Arrangement OF the
union forces as office.seekers and
spoil-hunters.
However. the platform. while it was
intended to do the right thing by the
republican party. hits it some pretty
hard iolts. 1t congratulates the people
!. of the nation upon the return OF pros
perity, which it says is due to the "res-
oration of the republican party to
Uower." When one considers the
real cause of the temporary prosperity
with which this nation has been
blessed the past six or eight months
the famine in India and Australia
and then lays the suffering OF the peo-
pie of these drouth cursed countries
to the door Of the republican party,
it is accusing it of causing great suffer-
ing to the many for the benefit OF the
few, though this has always been one
of its tenets of that party, to tax the
masses for the benefit of the classes.
Not satisfied with accusing their
party of having wrought destitution in
India and Australia, by preventing the
rain falling so that the wheat OF
America should command good price
and give the republican party credit
for bringing about prosperity, the con-
yertion declares that all needless
Offices and commissions shall be abol-
ished. While the republican party |
has been in power in Oregon and has
held a majority in tho legislature, all |
these s'needless" offices tand commits
sions were created, hence the con-
veution denounces the work of its own
party. It virtually says 1--WE robbed
the people in the past by forcing upon
them an army of useless Office holders.
We know it was wrong, but we have
repented, and if you will give US the Of
f;ces once more, we promise just as we
did in 1894 and 1895 to abolish those
on1ces, and will come as near keeping
our pledges now as we did then"

ARE RUSHING TO WAR
Active Preparations Being Made IN Arm
Circles

Active Preparations Being Made IN Army
Circles.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-From thi 3.
time on the war preparations will go
forward with activity, and both the
army and navy will be put in a posi-
tion for active operations. There
seems to be little doubt that the first
move will be to blockade one or more
of the Cuban ports, and as soon as the
army of occupation can be transported
to them, demand will be made for
unconditional surrender, and in the
event of refusal, the work of reducing
them by bombarding will be begun
Immediately. 1t is not thought the
assembling Of the naval forces will be
delayed even for a day, and it is not
unlikely important movements of both
arms of the service will be begun with
in the next few hours.
Palma and one of General Gomez
brigadiers, it is said, have been con-
sulting General Miles today, arrang-
ing for cooperation against Spain.
The administration has urged upon
the republican leaders in both houses
of congress the necessity for immedi-
ate action on the measure introduced
in the house by Hull yesterday, autho-
rizing the president to issue call for
| volunteers.
The movement OF troops from all
parts OF the country toward the points
of mobilization in the East and South
is fairly under way, and all will be at
their respective destinations within a
few days.
The remaining ladies of the United
States legation will leaYe Madrid to-
night. Minister Woodford will leave
when Washington's final instructions
have been carried out.

WHAT is WRONG?

Eyer since the adjournment of the
republican convention at Astoria, read
ers Of republican papers have scanned
their columns in an endeavor to find
the platform, but it is noticed that a
number of the republican papers have
thus far neglected to publish the dec
laration of principles enunciated by
their party in this state. One that
has so far neglected to print the plat
form is The Dalles Chronicle, a
staunch republican paper, and some
wonder why it is.
We have personal knowledge OF tn"
fact that the ticket nominatinated a
Astoria is acceBtable to the editor OF
the Chronicle, and that it is endorsed
from top to bottom. and when the re-
ceptioD was given the congressional
nominee for this district, tho editor of
the Chronicle was one of the first to
meet Mr.. Moody and wish him success.
Therefore we conclude there is some
thing with the platform, and that it is
one of which our contemporary is
ashamed. If this is the reason the
platform has not been published, the
Chronicle displays rare good Judgment,
for it is declaration of principles of
which any party should be ashamed.

WAR AND BONDS.

If there is to be war, there is to be a
a bond issue. A bond issue in war
times will be more popular than at any
time, but just as resuitful to bondbuy-
ers and bundholders. The way to make
such an issue less resultful to the in
terest eating class is to make the bonds
of $50 each and offer them to the people
by opening subscription books at every
postoffice in the country. Let the
masses become bondholders and bond
buyers. Let every man have a 'stake'
in the government, and there will be
better government more economically y
administered.
1t is not right that rich syndicates
and corporations should continue to
be given the exclusive benefit OF the
| safest form of investment. Those who
bear the burdens of governments should
be allowed to participate in its bene
| fits: those who pay the taxes levied
on consumption, as federal taxes are
| raised, should be allowed to receive
some of the interest paid from the
taxes so raised. If bonds are to bt
issued they should be sold to the peo
Pile, and no syndicate or corporation
should be allowed to purchase then
until they had been offered to the peo
pie and refused, which would never b'
the case. If this is a government o
the people, it should be run in the peo
ple's interest. They should be allowe'
to furnish the money to buy its bond
since they are forced to carry the en-
tire burden of government, while re
ceiving very much less than thei
share of its benefits. For years pas
the mass of the people have carried al
of the burden while the class hay
thrived upon the lions share OF it
benefits. This is government OF tn
many and not of the few. Sell tn
bonds, if bonds have got to be issued
to the people, and let it be declare
tnat no others need apply for them

tion with the telegram forwarded Mr..
Mckinley declaring that the Spanish
shc1ld be ''driven from the Western
hemisphere" is somewhat inconsistent
in the light of the presidents willing
ness to let Spain stay in Cuba, and his
refusal to take active steps to drive
them out.
The declaration favoring the main
tenance of the present gold standard
cannot be construed except as an en-
dorsement of the infamous Gage cur
rency bill, for it is the accepted repub'
lican plan for retaining the gold stand
ard, hence the republican party must
prepare to defend the proposition to
retire the greenbacks and place the
issuance of all credit money in the
hands of the national banks. Through
out, the platform puts the republican
party entirely upon the defensive, fol
it does not enunciate principle bu
can be attacked by the union forces.
