''was too profoundly versed in political
economy and practical affairs to re-
main long outside of the service of the
state" and in consequence was soon
elected to parliament and started on a
public career. To US in the United
States the idea that anybody should
become so we'll informed on political
economy and statecraft that he could
not be kept out of Office is Slightly
humorous, since between political
science and getting elected there is
no connection. The only way in
which the difference can be explained
is that Hungary is rather raw
country, in which the people are not
yet fully civilized and therefore do not
know very we'll what they need.

They Were Buried at Arlington Gene
terry With Military Honors.
WASHINGTON. April 6.-With full
military houors, in the presence of
President Mckinley AMI his cabinet
and multitude of people. the bodies
of 1886 dead heroes, who gave their
lives for their country in Cuba or Por:
TO Rico:during. the Spanish war, were
consigned at o'clock this afternoon
to their last resting place in Arling-
to n cemetery.
In accordance with the directions o.
the president, every honor, military
and civil, was shown to the nations
heroes. The government departments
were all closed at noon, and flags over
the government buildings were half
masted. The military escorts com.

Guard from the District of Columb bia.

group stood the president, members
of the cabinet aud Other distinguished
functionaries. Back aud around these
was vast concourse of people, while
through the trees lowered the glitter
ing shafts and monuments, reared to
the memory of the distinguished dead
of the great fratricidal war.
The customary volleys were fired,
taps were sounded, and military dirges
were played by the bands. The relig
ious services were simple. The COM
INITIAL services of the Episcopal church
was read by Post Chaplain Freeland,
of Fort Monroe, and in order that the
soldiers who died as Catholics might
be buried il consecrated grounds, at
the request of Cardinal Gibbons, the
conservation service of the Catholic
church was conducted by Rev. Joseph
F. McGee, of st. Patrick's Catholic
church, who officiated at the burial Of
General Garcia.
Interment of the bodies began at the
conclusion of the ceremonies, aud the
departure of the military, but as each
metallic casket weighs almost 500
pounds and requires eight men to
handle IL, the lowering of the budies
was necessarily slow. and it will prob
ably require two or three days TO inter
all the dead.

CASE OF GRAB.

The policy of the present admins
tration to gobble up every thing iu
sight, and extend governmental control
over all former Spanish territory re-
gardless of the wish of the people to
be governed, seems to haYe no limit.
Cuba is now to be gobbled up. whether
the Cubans want to be Americans or
not. This fact is made known by the
following Washington dispatch to the
Oregonian:
"Complaints have been made by
certain Cubans that the lack of poll
cy on the part of the American govern
ment respecting Cuba will continue to
be source of considerable trouble in
the settlement of Cuban affairs. The
men who have made these complaints
think that the United States govern.
ment should outline definitely what it
proposes to do, whether to annex the
island or to grant independence to
the Cubans.
"This complaint, which was made
not long ago with considerable vigor.
has not called forth any response from
those who are authorized to speak for
the president. But those. who know
something of the administration in
tentions say that the annexation of
Cuba will be the ultimate result. NJ
Independent government is to be
for med, bus matters will be allowed to
remain as they are, with the island in
control of United States troops until
such times as the Cubans themselves,
or representative men among them,
seek annexation as the best solution
of the existing problem"
It would seem that it has been the
policy of the administration all along
to gobble up all the West Indies. no
matter what the wish of the inbab-
tants Is, and it has been the aim of
those in authority to so conduct af-
fairs in Cuba 80 as to bring this end
about. The policy is wrong in prin-
ciple and contrary to American IRA
dition. While Cuba should of right
belong to the United States. yet it
should not be acquired by conquest or
force. There are objections against
taking charge of the Philippines that
cannot be urged against the annexa-
tio3 of Cuba. The former is too far
away from US, and is peopied by class
hat never should tbecome citizens of
the United States, while Cuba is al
our very door, and is inhabited Dy a
race of people who would readily as
simulate with us. But the Gu oans
should be permitted to express their
wishes before We attempt to annex
them. This grab game should never
be adopted.

Fish Commissioner Catbcart returned

Columbia and as far up The Willamette

there is little, If any, illegal fishing on

Stock Prices Low.

EUGENE, April 6.-Several cattle.
buyers from the East have visited this
section within the past few weeks,
locking for young cattle. but so far
they have made no contracts. The
activity displayed in the cattle market
the past two or three years is lacking
this spring. Cattlemen say the farm
ers are holding out for too high price,
and they predict many OF them will
lose money on their stock. Some Of
them were offered as high as $751; per
head tor yearlings last year, but re-
fused to sell, and this spring it take a
good 2 2year-old to bring $1S, while
only about Sl2 is offered for yearlings.

The young men of this country must
look to the party opposed to trusts for
friend, for il trusts are permitted to
control every industry there will be no
opportunity for the young men ever to
get into business for themselves.
They can see nothing before them ex-
cept life in the employment of gigan-
tic corporations, because If they under
take business for themselves they will
be crushed out by the larger concerns.

the Canadian gold output was $l3, ,7O0,-

British Colunbi is also expected to do
much better that in previous years.

The Alger crowd is on the run in
Washington. The beef inquiry has
developed so much unexpected tes-
timony that they don't know where
they are at. The army investigating
commission was such success at
whitewashing Algerism that it was
expected the beef inquiry would re-
suit the same way, but the conspirators
counted worongly. Truth had to pre-
vail, and the only hope for the Alger
crowd now is to impeach the testimony
of the Witnesses who gave their testi-
mony. This, will however, be very
difficult task, and it looks now as if the
court of inquiry will have to sustain
all the charges that General Miles
made. This will be disastrous to Alger
and his cocouspirators.

baby were found dead in bed this morn.

pistol shot in the head, while tho il
child was shot thorugh the body. 1t

a leading society girl, little over two
years ago. Until recently, he was

supposed he brooded over the loss of
his position and killed his family and
