articles prepared for him by others,
but be Indignantly declined the offer.
We are frequently told the state OF
Washington has gone to the uem
nation bow-wows under the admins
tration of union ticket officials. But
figures do not prove this assertion.
Financially the state is better off than
in former years, and in a number OF
counties the administration OF the
union officers has effected consider
able saving. In Yakima county, for
instaLc during the republican admin
istration for the year ending June 30,
1896. the expenses were S2O,S24.eo,
under the union administration for
year ending June 80, 1898, the expenses
were Sl4, ,135. 73, saving of S6.6o9, 10.
Three months ago the gallant Dewey
entered Manila harbor and won the
greatest naval victory ever recorded
in history. He at once asked the gov
ernment to send him land forces to
hold what he had gained. Twenty
thousand troops sent then would have
easily occupied Manila and held the
Philippine islands, but they were not
sent. Instead, thousands of men were
modified on the Atlantic coast 10 per-
feet ina ,tivity. Because OF the gov
err ment's failure to act promptly,
Ayuinaldo has assumed control in the
Philippines, and will cause more
trouble than all the Spaniards. This
war looks like farce.

AN INSTITUTION WE NEED.

Why there is not hospital in The
Dalles is question which no one here
could answer, and certainly no one
could excuse the lack of such an in
stitution being here Every year
there are thousands of dollars sent
away from here for care OF patients In
Portland hospitals, and whenever
difficult operation is to be performed,
the patient is taken to Portland. Not
because of lack of competent surgeons,
but because of the lack of proper facil-
tiles for caring for the patient. The
Dalles has as able corps of physicians
as are to be found anywhere on the
Pacific coast, but they will not attempt
difficult operations unless the patient
can be properly taken care OF after
being operated upon, hence when pos
sible, they send their patients to the
hospitals in Portland.
Often the patients life is endanger'
ed by a ride of So miles on cars or boat,
and operations performed after having
taken such long journey, are never
so satisfactory as they would be if per-
formed here. Especially is this true
in cases of serious wounds, where the
patient requires immediate attention,
There is certainly a splendid field
here for a hospital, and if not taken
hold of by a corporation composed OF
those most directly interested-the
druggists and physicians-should be
taken in hand as private enterprise.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

A strictly American Nicaragua canal
NAV be set down as one OF the lnevlt-
able results of the present war. The
perilous and long voyage of the Oregon
around the Horn, instead OF across the

rendered'by that battle-ship in destroy
ing Cervera's fleet, viii add emphasis
to the popular demand for the con-
struction of that waterway, and nav
ing it under American control. w nat-
diplomatic obstacles there may be IN
the way will be swept aside. The cost
will be great. yet small as compared
with the advantages, naval and com
mercial.
It is safe to say, however, that the
general public is giving very little
thought Just now to that vast project.
But there is at least one city OF the
country which is already keenly alive
to the Importance of this canal, ana
has already started in to arouse public
interest-San Diego, Cal. Its move
ment would be of no consequence II IL
stood out by itself, but by the time
congress convenes again there will be
a gene, al feeling in favor of pushing

There should be no delay in remov-
ing all. doubt about the abrogation OF
the Clayton-B -Bulwer treaty, which
James G.. Blaine insisted had been set
aside. but which the British govern.

sition the country is sure to be agreed

WILL Be
BROUGHT HOME
General Skaters Army to Be
Taken to Long Island.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Yesterday
the president had conference with
the secretaries of war and navy. at
which it was agreed that General Shat
ter's army be brought home from
Cuba, and will be stationed at MOntauk
point, Long Island. The moving of
the troops home will be commenced at
once, and as there are sufficient trans.
port vessels lying off the coast of
Cuba to bring them over there need be
little delay in getting them back to
American soil.
AS far as the question of removing
the troops back into the mountains
was concerned 1.-THE question which
seems to have precipitated the indig-
nation meeting among the American
command ers at Santiago), it is learned
that the medical department made no
such recommendation. All that it had
TO say on this subject was thai, if the
troops must be near Santiago, an
effort snould be made to remove them
at once to some healthier camping
ground.
Surgeon-General Sternberg agrees
thoroughly with the opinion expressed
by the signers of the round robin" at
Santiago, that men who have suffered
from the severe malarial fevers of the
south coast of Cuba, so far from being
immune against attacks of yellow
fever, as has been asserted in some
quarters, are actually in very much
greater danger than those who have
escaped the malaria.

MADRID IS
TIRED OF WAR
Public Sentiment in Favor OF
Peace at Once.

NEW YORK, Aug. A Madrid dis
patch to the Tribune says:
Not only the court, cabinet and po-
litical men of the capital, but the Mad
rid public as well are unmistakably IN
favor of peace at any price. 1t Is oe-
lieved that any apparent opposition to
the terms arranged at Washington
will be merely for the sake OF appear
ances, nothing more. Grave anxiety
is felt. however, as to the attitude OF
the army and the feeling in the prov
inces. Several regiments in the Mad
rid garrison are known to be hostile
to the government and to the dynasty,
but it Is hoped that any open action
can be restrained until after the con-
clusioa of peace.
General Polavieja has so far sue
ceeded in curbing military jingoism
by his strong personal influence, bu'
that peace may be the signal for in
ternal disorders is a peril which Sa'
gasta is now trying to avert.

Notice to Dellnqusn. Taxpayers.

The delinquent taxes OF Wasco
county, as shown on the rolls now In
the hands of the sheriff, are $60, 900, an
amount almost equal to the indebted
ness of the county. Every citizen will
doubtless admit that this state Of
affairs should not exist, and that all
taxes should be collected. On account
of hard times in the past the county
court has shown leniency to taxpayers,
but that leniency has reached the
limit, and the court cannot wait longer
on delinquents to make settlement.
For this reason warrant has been at
tached to each delinquent roll COM
manding the sheriff to collect all taxes
by seizure and sale of property. With
the bodntiful crops now In sight, there
can no longer be any reasonable ex-
cuse for the non-payment Of taxes.
The sheriff is bound under oath to.
comply with the terms of the warrants,
TO the tax rolls for the collec-
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can
save the cost Of seizure and sale OF
property by settling their taxes -

Sheriff and Tax Collector for wasco County.

Fruit Distilling.

PORTLAND, Aug. 5.-An attempt was
made last week in the Willamette
Valley to start a cooperative fruit
distillery to take care of the large
crop of prunes, that are now on hand
by distilling them into brandy. But
the attempted enterprise was failure
on account of the religious tendency
of large number of the growers.
There are several fruit distilleries in
Southern Oregon which furnishes
quite market for fruit of all kinds.
It would be considerable better to
find a market for our large surplus
fruit crop by distilling it here and
stop the Importation of brandies
from the east.

THE ULTIMATE ISSUE.

An object lesson which the American
people should study is presented In
the fact that the Spanish merchants or
Santiago will only take the American
silver coin at the market value of the
metal. In other words,a United States
gold dollar in Santiago Will GUY
twice as much as United States silver
dollar. This fact is quoted in argu-
ment by advocates by the single golo
dard and of free coinage OF silver.
Each maintains that their respective
systems are upheld by the condition
quoted. Its true meaning is simple.
A metal that is rejected at home can
not hope for better treatment abroad.
To maintain a single gold standard,
silver coin must be restricted ana
made actually only token money IKE
the nickel. Back of it must be gold
demanding, interest-bearing oonas.
This is the final step yet to be takeo
by the American people to maintain
single gold standard. The honest aa-
yoeate of gold monometalism looks for'
ward to the time that silver will not
in any sense be regarded as a money
metal. He only regrets that the
ignorance of the people Is such that
this statement cannot as yet be placed
in party platforms. And the repuo-
lican party is making rapid strides In
this direction. 1t has thrown OF the
mask of international bimetalism, and
has no use for silver whatever. In the
end it must be plain that either silver
is to be restored to free coinage or It's
"parity" maintained by making IL
simply the token of money to be upheld
by bonds-in which event each silver
coin might as well and better be SO
much paper.

WHAT BATES DON'T KNOW

serts that he never knew a man who
wore Douglas shoes, and then goes on
to say that Douglas could save s5o,~"

Home journal and two or three sum-
lar notifications, Considering the
fact that W. L. Douglas is one OF tne
most successful general advertisers In
the United States, Mr.. Bates attempt
to enlighten him on the subject Is
most unfortunate. Bates is one OF the
men who would limit all general al
vertising to few journals OF Immense
circulation. He has been regularly

AGUINALDO'S UN-
RULY FORCES.
Conflict With the Insurgents is Antici.
pated.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The officials
here make no cencealment of their
apprehension of serious trouble to fol-
low the execution of our programme
in regard to the Philippines. The re.
ports of the military and naval COM
manders of late have contained warn
ings of expected conflicts with the in
surgents, and no surprise will be felt
at the receipt of news of an outbreak
at almost any moment.
The United States government feels
that 1t has assumed a moral obligation
toward not only the foreign residents
at Manila, but toward the unprotected
classes. of the Spanish community
women, children, nuns and priests.
Therefore, when intimation came that
the insurgents were threatening tie
lives of some helpless monks, orders
were sent to the American military
commander to look into the matter,
and to act in the interest of civiliza-
tion and humanity.
AS according to reports the lnsur-
gents have shown particular hostility
towards the monks, it is reasonable
expectation that before long collision
will have occurred with the Ameri.
can troops, if the latter undertake to
interfere in the execution of the ven
geance of the insurgents.
