In his anxiety for peace at home
the Car tells the terrorists that he is
willing to shed his blood for the good
of his people, and declares his inten-

spirit, the present conditions would

THE PROPOSED PEACE JUBILEE.

THE PROPOSED PEACE JUBILEE.
The suggestion. emsnatipg from
President Roosevelt, that the titieth
anniversary OF the close OF the Civil
War be COMMUNICATED by holding a
Peace Jubilee, will no doubt meet
with the hearty approval and en-
dOrsement of all sections of our com
mon country. Is will be ten years
yet before such an event can beprop'
erly celebrated, but ten years is not
too long for the people 80 prepare
for such an event as the proposed
Jubilee will be held 10 commemorate.
There is every evidence shat among
the thinking, patriotic people OF she
country, every trace OF sectional
prejudice has long since been buried,
and the States which seeded from
the Union in the early sixties have
given ample demonstration OF their
loyalty and devotion so thecountry,
and no States in she Union will lend
more hearty cooperation for the
contamination of such a plan than
will the States which formed the
Southern Coniederacy.
The Peace Jubilee ought 50 be-
made a certainty. Congress ought
to make a liberal appropriation for
it, not only sufficient 80 insure its
success, but to make it the greatest
event OF it's kind ever held anywhere.
The ranks of those who sustained
the brunt Of battle, on both sides,
are rapidly shining out, and as
time goes on, defamation OF their
ranks will increase with greater ra-
pidity. Is is, therefore, fitting that
before the final bugle call 80 the
Great Beyond sounds a requiem over
the last of those old soldiers, they
should be permitted to commingle
with fraternal love in the celebration
OF that event which united them
again as citizens OF common
country.

Governor Chamberlain last night is
sued a warrant and requisition for
Samuel H. Hoober, who is now under
arrest at San Francisco on the charge
of larceny by embezzlement Hoober,
who was driver of one of the Port
land Troy laundry wagons, is convicted
in Judge Hogue's court of stealing the
funds, which he collected from custom
ers on his route, which money he was
supposed to turn over to the cashier.
John Tate manager, of the laundry,
makes the complaint, and states that
although Hoober received the princely
salary of $l2 per week, this did not
seem TO satisfy his wants, and he helped
himself to the funds belonging to the
company, and then departed for a
healthier climate Detective Dan Wer-
ner, of Portland is named in the war
rant as the officer to go to San Fran
cisco and bring back the prisoner, AS
Hoober is not wanted for anything in
California, Governor Pardee will doubt
less recognize the requisition, and the
prisoner will be sent back without any
trouble.
