EXPULSION ON THE CONTINENT.

Neither the United States nor England, row
ever dreams OF expelling from its respective
country any alien who has not been guilty OF
crime Yet this Is frequently the case ON the
continent of Europe, where the threat OF ex-
pulsion is used as a means of intimidation while
the execution of the menace is frequently the
means of satisfying the spite Of some one in
authority. In France Russia, Germany, Italy,
Austria and Spain expusions are constantly
taking Mace and In no instance are they

ONLY WANT JUSTICE.

When it comes to ofiicering the reg
iment of Oregon volunteers before
they enlist in the war with Spain,
there is certain to be a clash, since
there is an apparent desire on the
part OF the First regiment to supply
all the officers, and permit the other
organizations to furnish the men.
This is certain to cause dissention,
for every company in the state feels
that it is entitled to recognition of its
officers as well as its ranks.
If it is attempted to divide the men
of the companies of the Third bat
talon and Second regiment and ap,
portion them out among the weak
companies OF the First. there will be
protest heard that will probably dis
rupt the National Guard. No COM
plete company should con sent to be-
ing totally annihiiated, by havingit it's
men tackled ON to some company OF
the First regiment that has not a full
quota, nor should any of them consent
to having their officers set aside for
those who are in closer touch with TIE
commauder-in-chief. 1t would be an
injustice for those who have given
their time and attention for years to
maintaining the Guard. and have been
honored by their fellow soldiers with
elevation to commissions, to now be
deprived of their commissions. All
that any of them .should ask is justice
at the hands of their superior officers,
and this they should haye. If they do
not get it, their men should refuse to

TIME FOR PATRIOTISM.

Members of the Oregon National
Guard all over the state have needed
the call of the governor to assemble at
their different places of rendezvous,
and are holding themselves in readi-
ness to go in defense of the nation
whenever they may be called. They
have abandoned their customary avo-
cations, hence their earning power
has ceased. and still they are under
the necessity of sustaining themselves,
there being no provision whereby the
state or government can support them
until they have been mustered into
service.
These men have displayed their
patriotism by offering their services,
and if need be, their lives in the coun-
try's cause; now what less could the
citizens do as an exhibit of their
patriotism than to donate the support
of the militiamen while they are thus
inactive? Company G, Third bat
talon, is now rendezyoused in The
Dalles awaiting orders. Not a man
in the company can return to his
usual avocation in order to support
himself while thus waiting to be
called into active service. Should not
the citizens of The Dalles support the
company while here, and also give
them means of support when they
shall go to Portland and until they
shall be mustered into service and put
on regular uay?

OREGON'S SOLDIERS.

Of the l25, 900 troops asked for by the
president. to do battle with Spain,
Oregon's apportlonment will oe S29.
Most of this quota will be made up
from the National Guards, and lusty
lot of soldiers they will be, for Ore
CONS militia is made up of the flower
of the state. They are young, vigorous
and brave, and are comparatively well
drilled, at least in military tactics, and
experience under fire is all that is
needed to make them veterans.
If duty shall call them to the front
Oregon's citizen soldiers will certainly
win laurels and come off the battle
field with honors, for they are com.
posed OF the kind of stuff that makes
soldiers. Imbued with true western
spirit and frontier daring, they know
no fear, and their patriotism cannot be
questioned, for they have entered the
militia not for show or amusement,
but with the full realization that
Should duty call, their lives are at the
of their nation, ready to be
sacrificed in defense of the country's
honor. Oregon's soldiers are men of
whom the state may be proud.

and demand. In a recent editorial 1t
makes the following absurd statement:
"The idea that the United States,
by an act of congress, can restore Sill
yer to its old value has taken such hrm
possession of many minds that the task
of eradicating it seems almost nope
less. An expression of this strange
delrsion is found In the letter from
The Dalles printed in another column.
No one under free and unlimited com
age says the writer OF the letter,
would any more part with silver bull
lion at less than S1.29 an ounce than
would q man owning wheat part with
it for 65 cents when he could get 81 %
bushel for it. " 81.
If the Oregonian would but consider
the laws of trade for moment. anu
honestly concede that the demand Tor
any commodity, whether it be metal
or bread stuff, fixes its, price, it would
not allow itself to make snch foolish
statement. It is true that congress
cannot legislate value into silver di-
rectly, but it can create demand Tor
the metal, which is in effect giving 1t
value. Further along in the article
from which the above extract is taken
the Oregonian admits that the United
States, France and Germany lsgislated
value out of silver in 1873 BY limiting
it's coinage: that is by abolishing the
demand, then why can it not be re-
stored by creating demand?
Silver today is nothing but a COM
modify in the markets of the world.
Its commercial value is regulated by
the demand for it, which is limited to
it's use in the arts and sciences and
small demand for coinage into subcid-
larry coins. Under these conditions its
price is regulated the same as is the
price of wheat or corn. Suppose that
in 1873 the United States alone had
abolished the use of corn as an article
of food, would there be any demand
for corn today except for fuel? And
would it command aprice above what
it would be worth for that purpose?
Then If, by act of congress, corn were
made the standard breadstuff OF the
country, would not the demand be so
increased that it's price would imme-
diately advance to what it was before
the enactment of any adverse legisla-
tion? This would certainly be true OF
silver. By legislation it was refused
use as money metal, hence the de.
mand was limited and the price fell,
but should the demand be suddenly in
creased by legislation that would
make it a money, its price would at
once go up and'the holder of an ounce
of silver would not take less for it than
it's coinage value. ~ .

THE ISSUE is PLAIN.

When the republican state conven-
tion at Astoria adopted platform de-
claring for the maintenance OF the
single gold standard, it defined the is
sue so plainly that there can no longer
be equivocation about international
bimetalism, or the adoption OF any
money by this government except
based purely upon good. More than
this, in the declarations of their plat
form the republicans, while they do
not say so, must endorse the Gage plan
for maintaining the gold standard,
for it is the one meeting the approval
of the administration and majority
of the lower house of congress, hence
the republican party of this state must
go before the people with the Propo-
sition of transferring the non.interest-
bearing debt of the nation lthe green
backs) into an interest bearing debt.
Then the voter of Oregon is con-
fronted with two propositions. One
is to declare for the gold standard and
more interest bearing bonds; the
other is to express his voice in favor
of the currency of the constitution,
gold, silver and paper, and the mainte-
nance of our present credit currency,
upon a joint or bimetallic standard.
No voter opposed to the gold standard
and the issuance of more interest-bear-
ing bonds in time of peace can support
the republican nominees for any office
in this campaign, for by so doing, he
must record himself as favoring more
burdens in the way of taxes, and a
contracted currency, which means a
reduction in the price of every product
of labor. With these issues before
the people, what will their verdict be?

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 good reason
himself. But everything looked gloomy
to him. He was in a 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 If is easy to get into and mighty
hard to get out of it, unless you go about it
in the right way.
There is a remedy that has pulled thou
sands of people right out of this depth of
despair. 1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical

That's the Way the Little Mangrove Cap
tured the Spanisrd.
KEY WEST, April 27,-The capture
of the Spanish auxiliary cruiser off the
coast of Cuba yesterday by the little
steamer Mangrove was a clever and
daring deed.
When the Mangrove sighted the
Spaniard she ran up to her and fired
gun across her bow. The liner did
not take the hint, and a second shot
was fired after which the Panama
slowed down little. A third shot
was fired across the bow of the Pana-
ma and the officer of the Span
ish vessel was notified that if he did
not heaYe to shot would be sent
through the vessel. This notification
caused the Panama to be brought to.
Commander Everett, of the Mangrove,

mission from Admiral Sampson took
his prize to Key West.
The Maugrove is small steamer
which was formerly used as a light
honse tender, but recently fitted out
as cable ship, and armed with two
six-pounder guns, which weapons con-
stitute her sole means of defense or
offense. The capture of so large
steamer by so small vessel as the
MangroYe is regarded as a notable
achievement, and hence the unusual
rejoicing at Key West over the cap
