views of the great agricultural class Of
this country. If there could be, he said,
a more absolutely harmless method of
communicating public opinion, he did
not know what it was. He indicated
that the expansionist press was being

Under the arrangement concluded last
evening, consideration of the pension
appropriation bin was resumed.
German of Maryland, after calling at
tention to the large amount carried by
the measure-about $145. 900, 600 said
that Notwithstanding the fact that II
per cent of our soldiers who had been
and were still engaged in the war with
Spain in tropical countries We're suffer-
ing from Illness that would make them
proper applicants for pensions, no pro-
vision had been made in the pending
measure for this increase in the pension
roll
German was interrupted by Hale of
Maine, who said that If our troops were
not recalled from Cuba before June or
July at the latest, the entire army on
the island would be down with illness
within three years from this day."
said German, in conclusion. the pen
sion roll will amount to $165, 00c. 900 a
year. If you add to that the cost of
maintaining your army $1,000 man,
the American republic win in the year
1900 expend more money for it's army
and pensioners than any other nation

There was man who never made.
A blunder in his life;
He loved a girl, but he was afraid
If she became his wife
That he or she might rue the day
mat brought them bliss, and so
lie put the happiness away
That welded lovers know.
One day the man who never made
Mistakes perceived the way
That led to fame, but, still afraid,
Drew back and stole away;
lie summed the winding paths that led
To distant, unseen ends,
And kept the road that stretched ahead
With neither sleeps nor bends.
AT last the man who never made
Mistakes fell by the way;
In garments that were badly frayed,
And pale and starved he lay;
No weeping friend bent oer him there,
Nol servant, nor child, nor wife,
But victory was his-he ne'er
Had blundered in his life

Most wretched relics of Spain's
misrule in the Philippines are the
Spanish prisoners held by the in
surgeuts. Emaciated, cruelty
beaten and starved, these miserable
creatures represent in their broken
bodies the inquiries of a past rule
reflected with savage fidelity to de-
tail. The fact that Aguinaldo
holds these soldiers in bondage, in
defiance alike of humanity and in
ternational law, is sufficient answer
to the voluble appeals of certain
Americans in behalf of the "liber-
ties" of the Filipinos, looking to
self-government.-Or -Oregonian.

FUNDS FOR ADVERTISING.
Congress Asked to Appropriate Mon.
ey to Pay Certain Newspapers

Congress Asked TO Appropriate Mon
ey to Pay Certain Newspapers.
The Secretary of War has submitted to
Congress list of accounts of various
newspapers for advertising for the pay
ment Of which no provision exists
The Secretary says: The advertise
ments in question were published during
the war with Spain, and in many of the
cases the advertising was ordered by Off
GERS who were unfamiliar with the provis-
ions of the law, that no advertisement
notice, or proposal for any Executive De-
partment of the Government, or for any
bureau thereof, or for any Office Herewith
connected, shall be published in any news
paper whatever except in pursuance of a
written authority for such publication
| from the head of such department.
The proprietors of the newspapers in
which advertisements were published are
| In many instances, pressing the depart
! meDt for settlement Of their claims, which
action is precluded by a decision of the
Comptroller of the Treasury of October IL
1898, TO the effect tha. the Secretary Of War
has no power to now approve or ratify the
action OF the officers in procuring the ad-
VertisinG services in question. The officers
who procure these services acted in good
faith; the services We're rendered the
Government received the benefit thereof
| and it is only just that these creditors of
| the Government should receive payment of
their accounts without unnecessary delay.
| as would be the case if the approval of the
accounts by the Secretary of War would bs
| satisfactory TO the Comptroller of the
| Treasury.
In this connection attention is invited to
| the opinion of Judge Advocate General
Holt, dated October 5, 1869, under which
| the department has heretofore acted. But
| as the Comptroller of the Treasury now
| takes a different view, 1t becomes neces-
| sary to bring the matter to the attention of
congress, with recommendation that an
| item be inserted in the deficiency bill au-
| thorizing the Comptroller to pass the
amounts covered by the inclosed statement
as well as others of similar character that
| may be approved by the Secretary of War
| as it is believed that there are other sucb
| accounts, though not many, which have NOT
! yet reached the department.

tbe heart of the suffering and the aid the
Police Department can give is quick and

thoroughly equipped for the work than
Major Sylvester, and he should be given
every opportunity TO enlarge his field OF
usefulness.
We appeal to our readers to swell this

ed already to the Associated Charities and
the Citizens Relief Association also send
something to Major Sylvester. Most of
them can afford TO do so, and all ought to
try. The blizzard has passed, but its ef-

AT THE THEATRES.
Nationalist Lady of QuaIity.'i

NationaI-"A Ludy OIL 4uaIty.
Were one to Judge exclusively by "A La
dy of Quality" he would decide that it is to
the actor or actress rather than to the Vehi-
Gle that an attraction owes its success. The
drama, as turned out from the literary
workshop of Frances Hodgson Burnett and
Stephen Townsend, is far from being a
finished piece of dramatic construction, yet
in the hands of the star and her capable
support the presentation appears clad in
new lustre as potent success.
Probably the chief credit for this is due
to Miss Arthur herself for her reading OF
the role of Clorinda Wildairs-with one ex-
ception-is the saving thread in the pro-
duction. Nowhere in contemporaneous eff
fort is there found role of more varied
humors than that of the girl-boy Clorinda
when contrasted with the aristocratic and
intense Lady Dustanwolde, but in each
the star is excellent and withal natural
Certainly no more stirring situation can
be Imagined than that of the fourth act,
when Clorinda covers the body of her
slain traducer with the sofa and proceeds
with the gaeties of the evening. This act
and this scene are the crucial ones of the
Offering and upon their well-doing de-
pends the success of the drama.
w. S. Hart, as Sir John Oxen, makes
himself thoroughly hated by ALL his rather
rigorous portrayal of the role differing
from the Iago-villainy of Edwin Arden. his
predecessor However, his death is most
notable, the detail, the spasmodic struggles
and twitching of muscles lifting the de-
mise far above the level of similar work.
Ralph Stuart, William Herbert Robert
McWade, and Florence Conron make up
the commendable portion of a well-trained
support. Agnes Knight and Joseph Allen
are also worthy of more than a passing
glance.
On Wednesday evening. Miss Arthur will
appear as Rosalind in ''As You Like It."

INCREASE IN NATIONAL BANKS
An Evidence of the Marked Pros
perity of the Country.


A marked increase in the demand for
national bank charters is one of the many
symptoms of reyiving business activity
afforded by the Treasury statistics. The
applications of 1890 We're 307, and in
1892, 163. There was a drop for 1893, al
though the banking year included several
months Of prosperity, which carried the
applications for the year ending on Octo-
ber 81 down to 119. The applications since
that time have been so in 1894, 43 in 1895
2S in 1896, "a in 1897, Sc in 1898.
The capital of the new banks author
lied in 1890 was $50, $50, ,000 while the cap
ital of those authorized in 1898 was only
$11 100000, and in 1895 only S3, ,245, 200.
There was an Improvement in 1897, which
carried the capital to $4,420,0 coo, and in
1898 to 50, sos, 900. There was a net loss in
the number of national banks amounting
to so in 1894, in spite of the 80 new char
ters granted. There was a net loss of 40
banks in 1895, sc in 1885, Go in 1897, and
10 in 1898.
The reports of condition for December
/ showed trif1ng loss as compared with
September. but the reports for February,
which Comptroller Dawes has just called
for, will show an improvement. There
have already been 27 applications for
charters, which have been approved since
October 81, and new applications are daily
reaching the office of the Comptroller The
capital required for these 27 new banks
is nearly $5.0o0,000, but at least one of
these, the Colonial National Bank, of
Boston, with capital of S1,G00,OO0 is the
result of consolidation of older banks, and
does not actually represent an addition to
banking capital.
The national banking system is not now
attracting SO many new financiers as the
State and private banking systems, since
the circulation has ceased to be profit
able, but some of the changes proposed in
the banking law, if adopted by Congress
would probably greatly accelerate the ap-
plications for new charters

HEROIC TELEGRAPH BOYS.
Care Taken of Them Yesterday ID
Postal Manager Ripple.


Among those who were victims of the
blizzard's fury and who were forced to en-
dure no small degree of suffering by reas-
on of their exposure TO the blasts of ice
and depth of snow must assuredly be
counted the boys in the telegraph messen-
ger service in the city.
AS long as the wires hold out and bring
messages from all quarters of the world
these young Mercurys can indulge in no
dream of an idle hour. Right Loyalty did
the corps perform its duties in the midst
OF the bowling blast that stopped traffic
in all directions yesterday. There was no
finching and every boy did his level best
They endured suffering of the most gen.
uine character, and many a little fellow
got back 10 his office after the performance
Of his duty more dead than alive from his
struggle in the snow drifts
Their services were not without appre-
citation, however. and Manager Ribble, of
the Postal Telegraph Company, who gave
them encouraging words both as they left
with their messages and returned TO their
stations. took pains TO provide that they
should be as comfortable as possible. Mr..
Ribble arranged last night to have cots in
| the fourth story of the Postal Telegraph
building: saw that the youngsters were re-
SaIeu with not CoHee, soup and 1o0d Sufn-
cient to resist the incursions of the fierce
weather: literally put the boys TO bed and
remained as a guardian angel with them
| during the night in order that any troub-
| lesome results from their long days battls
| with the blizzard might have immediate
! attention, medical or otherwise as cases
| might require.
Fortunately. the careful nursing the
| youngsters received barred any serious
| evils, and all were ready when the brigh
sun rose this morning to attend to bust
ness with their usual vim.
Washington has cause TO compliment tn
| prowess of her telegraph messenger boy
and TO feel glad that the little fellows hat
friend in need during their terrible ex
| periences of yesterday.
