Two weeks from today. He took the
80 cents because he was on the verge
of starvation, and was too proud to
beg.
Several days ago the German cou-
sui here, Adolph Rosenthal, received
letter from Aix-la- la-Chappelle, making
inquiries for Richard Daverkosen,
once staff officer of the great Won
Moltke, and stating that an inheri.
tance OF 100000 guilden, part Of the
estate of his maternal aunt Nine
Schleicher, was awaiting him. The
letter was from the sister of the mis-
sing man.
He was found in prison and taker
by two officers to the consulate, where
he established his identity as Captain
Daterkosen, son of one Of the best ani
most wealthy families of Arnheim
Holland. He joined the army on tht
outbreak of the Franco-Prussian wal
and made a good record.

administration is conducted solely

administration is conducted solely
with the view to reelection. When
Alger was indicted by public sentiment
of gross incompetency and dishonesty
in the management of the war depart
ment, it was announced that Mckinley
would remove him if it became neces-
sary for political reasons. After con-
sultation with the bosses, it was con-
cluded that Alger could still be re-
tanned without serious detriment to
the presidents political aspirations,
and he is still secretary of the war.
Now the question of supplying Otis
with soldiers to take the place OF the
volunteers. who are soon to leave the
Philippines, is being considered.
Congress authorized the president to
enlist 900 men should occasion re-
quire. Occasion evidently requires
the filling up of the ranks in the. Phil
ippines, for Otis says he needs more
troops, but the dispatches from Wash
ington say, 'if possible to do so, the
president will avoid the issuance OF
call for troops. He believes the po-
litical effect would be bad" Plainly
speaking, he fears it would lessen his
chances of reelection. While he can
not but recognize that more soldiers
are, needed to carry out his plans OF
subjecting the Filipinos, before he
makes call he must ascertain which
way public sentiment is drifting. He
must know how it will effect his as
pirations. What "daisY" of presi-
dent we have.

DO WE WANT THEMs

The es-Mountaineer is in cores
pondence with a firm of woolen manu-
.fscturers who may be induced to come
to The Dalles with view to establish.
ing securing plant and woolen mills.
and it is possible they will come here
during the. summer to look over the
situation and possibly engage in busi-
ness. The proposition that they will
likely make will be to establish q
securing plant capable of handling all
the wool that is brought here and also
8 two or four set wooden mill. If they
come it will be on the proposition of
receiving subsidy that will be equal
to any inducement offered by other
places. What gu bsidy will be required
is not yet known, though to secure
such an industry would require an out
lay-of several thousand dollars The
question therefore is, do we want such
industries?
Possibly some would say no, but the
majority of the people would say yes.
No doubt every sheep raiser who
brings his wool to this market would
favor the establishing of securing
plant, for it would result in his receiv.
ing from one to one and one half cents
more per pound for his wool. Because
of this every business man in The
Dalles should favor the proposition,
for. with wool higher than at any other
point in Eastern Oregon, it would not
only result in the retention of the
present wool business. but would act
as an incentive to draw other wool
trade.
AS to a wooden mill every reason
able inducement should be offered, for
it is an industry that will furnish en-
ployment to large number Of labor
ers, and would create steady pay roll
of several thousand dollars month.
A two-set mill requires, when run at
full capacity, labor whose wages
amount to $1,000 month, while four.
set mill employs nearly double Che
6LuOuut Vi Win WOOi oo -
cents pound two-set mill consumes
about "a, 500 worth of raw material per
month, hence such an Institution
would pay out some $500 a month for
labor and material, besides several
hundred dollars for fuel and other in
cidental expenses. - .ss :.
The advantages to be secured from
such an industry located here are in
calculable. The business man and the
property owner will Immediately real
ize them, therefore we believe 1t will
be the universal verdict of The Dalles
that we want both the securing plant
and the wooden mill. If we do they
can no doubt be secured by liberal in.
ducemeDts being held out to those who
want to engage in business.

A SAMPLE OF "JUSIICE.' -

There is considerable difference be-
tween the quality Of of justice admins
tered to thieves. A number of years
ago q young man named Du France
held up mail carrier in Western
Nebraska and robbed and rified the
mail bag of one cent, all the wealth it
contained. Du France was caught.
tried and convicted, and received a life
sentence in. government prison,
which he is now serving. But Presi-
dent Mckinley has just commuted his
sentence to fifteen years. More than
q year ago Captain Oberlin M. Carter,
of the regular army, was tried and
found guilty of robbing the govern
mont of more than million dollars.
Bls as yet nothing has been done to
execute the sentence or impose the
deserved punishment. He is still
free man, under bail. He has friends
at court. Du France was short OF
powerful influence. The little thief is
a fool while the big one is knave.
The latter usually escape. But justice
should be meted out to the knave and
fool alike.-Easts Oregonian.

Nuevitas, Gibra and Holquin is com.

Most OF the farmers have suspended
cultivation in San Manuel, and a
sugar estate near Puerto Padre, owned
by Mr.. Pla, has been obliged to shut
down. Cuban soldiers, mostly negroes
hang around the villages, but won't
work, aud the robberies are ascribed
to them, but no attempt is being made
to prosecute them.
Astrong feeling exists there that the
United States should send soldiers to
protect property. Juan Potous Span

are receiving no protection from the
United States. There Is no recognizsd

cannot put the claims before General

1t is learned from towns In the
country that Spanisrds are suffering
many crueltles, but make no complaint
throught fear of being killed. In Cal
mato three were killed month ago,
but no notice was given by the au-
;horities.- On Sunday night four black
Cuban soldiers showed where they

HIGH SCHOOLS OR ACADEMIES


The demand for higher education
than. can be had In the grammar grades
of the public schools has created a
want for either high school main
tanned at public expense or an
academy supported by tuition in al
most every town remotely located
from colleges and universities; and in
consequence the means of obtaining q
good English education is placed with.
in reach Of almost every young: man
and woman in the country. However
in some towns of this state, none too
large to support only high school or
an academy. both are attempted, and
in consequence neither attains the ex-
cellence that is demanded.
The question, therefore, arises which
Is the better adapted to the needs of
the public, the high school or the
academy? And experience has gener-
ally resulted in favor of the former.
The high school is supported by
the public at large and the tuition is
therefore free, which places education
in reach of the poor as we'll as the
rich. More than this, the high school
lie under the direct management of
school board chosen by the people, and
rs rule is more thoroughly conducted
than an academy that is too often run
with q view to making money. This
is pro baby the cause of so many fail
ures resulting in. this state from at
tempts to establish independent
academies. and the secret of the sue
cess of sectarian schools. An academy
endowed and conducted by some
church may become lasting institu-
tion, for it is not compelled to rely
solely uyon tuition for support, where
as an academy instituted as business
. enterprise usually fails. Hence it is
that our high schools are gaining
prominence over academies, and af:
fairs are being adjusted as they should
.be, by placing the means of securing
good English education within the
reach of every youth regardless OF his
financial condition. The high schools
are the proper medium for educating
future generations and must take pre-.
cedent over academies in every locality
wnere there are young people of suf.
ficient number to maintain them.

LIMIT OF ARBITRATION.

If anything should come out of
the czar's peace conference look
ing to the general arbitration of
all:differences, it is more than likely
that We would See another or
ganized fight against q treaty of
that kind If it came to the United
States senate. Many of the senator's
are opposed TO anything like perma-
nent arbitration. Itis pointed out
that the United States has always
been willing to arbitrate all questions
which can be arbitrated. No nation
with any self respect will relinquish
its right to settle questions involving
the honor and integrity of the country
by negotiations first and by the sword
if negotiations fail. To propose to
arbitrate q question involving the
honor of nation would be simply
absurd. No nation would leave set
element of that kind to an outside
power. AS to other questions subject
to arbitration, it is claimed by many
senators, as it was claimed when the
English arbitration treaty was pending
that they can be sent to arbitration as
they arise. There are many reasons
why we should not desire to arbitrate
everything or to be committed to ar
bitratioh. on all subjects. In disputes
with European countries there would
be great difficulty in selecting satis-.
factory arbitrator The interests of
Europe are generally against us in
favor of the European government.
On the other hand, European countries
would not be satisfied to submit
questions to the arbitration of
American countries, as, for instance,
they would not like to have rep.
resentatives of Central America
sit in final judgment in matters of
dispute between the United States and
themselves. For this reason. it is
possible that any scheme that may be
devised at The Hague will meet with
opposition when it reach
es the United States senate.

Andanow the Philippine commission
is to be recalled, and everything con-
nected with the government of the
islands is to be left to General Otis.
The commissioners had at least q
spark. of humanity in their makeup
and suggested liberal measures for ad-
justing. matters between this country
and the Filipinos, while Otis insists
upon.an absolute surrender. For their
humanity the commissioners lost their
job, and for his lack of humanity Otis
ig given fullsway. The beauties of
imperialism are apparent.

General Shafter is now in COM

Poor old China is stricken with an.
other plague. Between famine, dis.

European powers that want to gobble
it up, the orce great Oriental empire,
doesn't stand much show to survive.
The war for humanity's sake is
officially ended, so far as Spain is con-
cerned. But those plaguey Filipinos
have got to take our brand of inde-
pen5ence, science and the fine arts,
even If every man of 'em has to be
blown limb from limb.
Porto Rico is nearly four times as
large rs Rhode Island; so. that in

nation shall require. the island will be
good for eight seats in the United
States senate.
A New York woman aimed revol-

The state of Maine has passed law

Stedman, q 17.year.old girl, has just
accomplished remarkable detective
feat. She was correspondent for a
small weekly paper when wood-chop-
per known as French Pete mysterious
ly disappeared some time ago. She
believed that the man was killed, and
followed up clews with such success
that Sheriff Taylor, acting on their
information, has arrested James Dier
on a charge of numbering the missing
man. Miss Stedman, who went into
the camps of the wood-choppers, re-
ports that these men havea system of
justice of their own, and form sort of
Ma6a society, which removes" OBJ

Porto Ricans are satisfied with
American rule on the island, hence
the right to govern there is obtained
by consent of the governed, and every
thing is moving smoothly. In Cuba
the people do not want to become
American citizens, and there is fric.
tion between the governors and the
governed. Filipinos refuse to be gov
erned without their consent, and there
is what imperialists call rebellion in
the Philippine islands.
Brigadier.General King has re-
turned to San Francisco from the
Philippines, and says it looks like
hostilities may continue in the islands
for long time. There are lots OF
blind men in this country who have
been convinced of this fact for several
months. General King has told some
thing that everybody but the admin
istration has realized ever since the
first gun was fired last February. The
Filipinos are fighting for independence
and they will have it or die fighting.

HENDERSON FOB SPEAKER

There now seems little question but
congressman David B. Henderson, OF
Iowa. win be the next speaker OF the
national house of representatives.
Already he has received enough
pledges from republican congressman
to give him majority in the caucus,
which is equivalent to an election.
Following in the wake of Reed, Hen-
derson will enter upon duties that may
become burdensome, and whether he
is equal to the occasion remains to be
seen. Reed is natural leader OF men, e,
one whose will power is unbendipg,
and during the several sessions he has
presided over the house, the members
especially have come to look upon the
speaker as sort of dictator. In Col.
Henderson they will find different
type of man. He does not possess the
masterful character of Reed. therefore
cannot hold the house under his thumb
as old the man from Maine.
Col. Henderson is, however, prob
ably as we'll qualified for speaker as
any of the others who were mentioned
In connection with the place, and in
view of the many important questions
to come before congress, it is we'll that
western man should have been
selected, though his record during
sixteen years of service in congress
has not demonstrated that he is very
closely welded to western necessities.
So far he has not shown the friendll.
ness TO the Nicaragua canal PROPOSE.
tion that the people of the Pacific
coast would desire, aud as that isgthe
question of most vital Importance, to
the people of this coast that is liable
to come before the fifty sixth congress,
there cannot but be some apprehension
as to which way he may sway legisla-
tion on this matter of Importance.
Neither. has he been an ardent worker
for river an0 harbor improve
ments, but little fear need be felt
that he will be hostile to them while
occupying the speakers chair. The
position to which he will be
called isone of the most important in
the nation, for the speaker of the
house, If he follows the tactics of his
predecessor, caa shape legislation to
the extent that he can advance or de-
feat almost any measure that may be
considered. It is therefore of vital
importance that the position be filled
by a man who is fair and impartial,
one who is broad minded enough to
lay sectionalism aside, and who can
consider the needs Oft entire nation
rather than those OF any particular
locality. While In congress Colonel
Henderson has displayed some of the
qualities needed of speaker, and ap-
parentiy he will be a presiding officer
who will dispatch public business on a
prompt and intelligent manner.

.PESTILENCE AND

Manila is Closed Against
Filipino Refugees.

NEW YORK, June IA dispatch to
the Herald from Manila, says: Thous-
ands of refugees who are attempting to
come to Manila are being turned back
by the authorities, who are fearful of
the city becoming oyer populated, caus.
ing pestilence and famine. There are
frequent sights on the country roads
of men women aud children stagger-
ing along under loads of household
effects.
The refugees are hungry, but not
starving. The American officials are
issuing rice to them for their present
needs. Many of the refugees tell OF
being forced to give up their supplies
to the insurgent army. They are
afraid to return to the enemy's lines
on account of possible attacks. The
insurgent government is to issue an
order for the military forces to discard
their uniforms and wear ordinary white
in order to deceive our army. i
Commulicistic societies have been
formed in Northern Luzon for the
