Pareia, In his defense, said the garrison
Of the city Of Santiago lack % food, many
OF the soldiers having died of hunger.
Gen. Tcrai made similar defense. He
said Santiago de Cuba was defsnseless
and that 1t was impossible to hold out
longer. He read telearaIn sent him by
Capt. General Blanco who, after consult
ing with the authorities at Madrid, ap-
proved Of the capitalization. Gen. Rubi
gave testimony to the effest that further
resistance would hava been equivalent
TO the death of the remainder OF the
troops.
Col. Ordonnez testified that he was
blockaded and therefore could not take
part In the conference where IL was de.
cided to surrender. He believed all
means Of resistance had been exhausted,
though. perhaps, the capitulation might
have been avoided by an attempt to
break through the enemies, causing much
bloodshed. But, he added, the spirit OF
the troops, was weakened when they lost
all hope CT outside help.
Lieut.. Gen. Pando, who was In charge
OF the military operations In Cuba, testi-
nei as to his regretting that the recon
mendations made by him before leaving
Santiago had not been acted on. as San
tiago then had sufficient ammunition ex-
cept for the artillery. He disapprovsd
the deeisions Of the generate at Havana

reinforced Santiago.
Gen. Blanco, who succeeded Gen. wey
Ter as Governor. General OF Cuba, narrated
events which occurred at the beginning
OF the war.
BE said he had never advised the capi-
tulation Of Santiago, but favored strong
resistance. The government. he declared,
had accepted the terms of the United
States without discussion and when he
telegraphed to Gen. Torai it was too lat.
Santiago. he added, had far from IT,
sufficient garrison.

their little party was out numbered two
to one by the President and his body

"For IA years Heureaux has held power
by system of terrorizing; citizens were

less they 90 to the Hotel Preble and see
it done. Prof. Cowan ia his remarkable
healing makes NO extravagant claims OF
miraculous power Neither does he re-
quire blind faith on the part of the sub
Ject who comes to him for treatment.
His is the underlying principle of all
science. and he has demonstrated it 10
the public by actual work, done in the
most public manner. Whether sick or
well do not fail to go to Hotel Pre- bic
and see Prof. Cowan's marvellous power
demonstrated. In placing his hand over
the diseased parts of the body his hand
and arm enlarges twice its natural size,
turns very dark color and to all ap-
pearances loses its vitality.
This is duo to the great electric forces
which absorb the disease from the dis
eased organs of the patient, People who
have been suffering for years should not
neglect this opportunity for being cured
no mateer how many physicians have
failed, this man cannot fail. No such
man has ever visited Portland before.
He stands without an equal rs q healer
In the known world and has the strong
est testimonials to substantiate this
truth.
Don't forget the date and place. Prof.

IT IS always interesting to stir Jere-
miah Quin up. He is an intense Irish
man, but a reasonable one and has no
sympathy for the buncombe style of ma
tional devotion. He has studied Irish
history with such assiduity that it has
become part of his system, and Irish
history because Of its connection with
that of England is the history Of Europe
Mr.. Quins familiarity with the history
of his native country is so close that the
facts he gives have all the interest of
personal "reminiscences They have grown
into his life and assumed personality
from closeness of contact. He is COM
batiye, but in gentlemanly fashion and
never when to be so is to invite discom-
future.

PRESIDENT ADAMS Of the State Uni
versity evidently perceived the need of
speaking with great emphasis of the
conduct of the students on Halloween.
He did not mince matters and his talk
will be productive of good These young
men who engage in escapades of this
character do not realize the character of
their offense while it is in process of
commission. They should be taught the
need of reflection and the course of criti-
cism they are now undergoing will make
them more partial toward doing some
thinking before indulging in foolish ac-
ton.

But few understand how the custom
came III vogue of taking a license fee
from railway companies in lieu of the
tax which most property is required to
pay. Railway companies in this state
pay certain percentage on their gross
earnings They are exempt from local
taxation ON their property except for
some forms of public Improvement.
This has always seemed like discrimi-
nation in favor of railway companies.
The property of individuals is taxed
whether productive OF not. The rail.
way companies are taxed only on their
incomes
The constitutionality of this law has
long been questioned but no doubt the
difficulty of adjusting taxation among
s6many political entities made courts
reluctant to change the custom
The Iowa courts have declared the law
fixing license fee in lieu of taxes un-
constitutional, and it is probable the
courts of other states will follow this
lead. Last year the Legislature made
an effort to increase the fee which rail
way companies should pay. But the at
tempt was defeated on the ground that
railway Companies aie now paying their
proportionate share of the taxes. If this
is true then taxes should be assessed uni
formly and this would leave no question
AS to the justice done all I'll lie difficulty
attending an equitable distribution of
railway property could easily be Ender-
taken in view of the advantages result
ing.

ONE of the most notable utterances of

ONE of the most notable utterances of
Mr. Bryan at the Chicago conference
and one of the most notable in his career,
was his warning to labor unions not to
assist the trusts, because temporary add
vantage might result to labor. The ad-
monition was not put so plainly that its
application was clear He said that in
abetting trusts they might Cypress the
farmers and wiring subsidy from them
but this would prove disastrous eventu-
ally to labor.
Recent reported events give organs
words significance, perhaps beyond their
intent. 1t is reported that an under
standing is being effected between
trusts and labor unions so that the form
er will secure the support of the latter.
Labor unions are trust but neces-
sary one as without organization labor
would have no rights which would not
be readily trespassed upon. But when
labor unions abet the trusts so as to
share in the spoils they exceed their
functions If this was Mr.. Brvan's
meaning, he gave utterance to bold
and timely warning.

THE LESSON OF THE ELECTIONS.

The elections of Tuesday need not
cause encouragement if their result will
teach democratic leaders to reflect and
to deal with matters of living interest
1t is no time for recrimination or for any
thing liable TO produce irritation. The
people have emphatically declared their
Impotence with moribund issues. Why
not heed the warning given in such un-
mistakable manner There is wide
difference between frmness and obstin-
acy. The man who welcomes fight In
which there is certainty Of his being
whipped, shows poor Judgment. 1t took
the southern states a long time to accept
the results of the war; 1t was time lost
Why repeat their experiencey
1t is too early to make imperialisnran
issue while war is in progress. No one
is inclined to do justice to an opponent
while that opponent is grasping for his
throat When the war is ended imper-
ialism can be attacked and routed. AT
present, opposition partakes in popular
estimation, Of hostility to our army now
in The miasmatic regions of the tropics.
And besides any issue we may take up
20 matter how deserving or popular,
will be damned III our hands when we
make it "a yoke-fellow of repudiated
and discredited issue.
We must clean house and do it quick
ly. We must seek to satisfy the solid
Judgment of the people and not humor
their lighter moments by dramatic pre-
sentation. The ''hurrah-boy" style will
pass in the excitement Of campaign.
1t will be rejected as steady diet
There is no sense in self-sacrifice when
no good can be accomplished by it and
humiliation is the only result. There
is no sense in fighting against the in
evitable.
