THE I3IPVDENCE OF IT.
It is stated that the most carefully
' worded, the longest and the most
elaborate part ot Spain's reply to
America's note anent Cuba is that in
which is set forth the protest against
filiCustering. The Spanish govern
ment pleads as the reason for its fail
ore to restore peace in Cuba, the de
parture of filibustering expeditions
from this country. The material aid
thus carried to the insurgents is all
that prevents their speedy conquest
by the Spanish troops, and the gov
ernment at Madrid has decided that
henceforth it will look upon filibus
tering expeditions as breaches of in
ternational law, and will treat with
the United States on that basis.
There is a great deal of impudence
in this attitude of the Spanish gov
eminent
Spoin understands very well that
no expeditions were sent to Cuba
town, is reported to be 35,000 men,
occupying an intrenched camp. By
gaining control of the sixth cataract
the British troops have seemed open
water for their gunboats to Khartoum.
The most interesting recent state
ment concerning the expeditions is
that it will raise the British instead
of the Egyptian flag at Khartoum,
which, has not been regarded as
Egyptian soil. That will settle the
idea of the withdrawal of the British
from the Nile resion. " ' '
UNDER WHICH FLAG. -
Mr. John Hall of Portland has
been appointed United Stales dis
trict attorney for Oregon. He was
recommended for the position by the
Oregon delegation, and, the Orego
nian says, by Mr. juitcneu. J. lie ur
egonian comments upon the appoint
ment in a style so different from its
usual handling of such subjects as to
provoke, or at'least suggest, comment
thereon. It seems to realize that the
Mitchell Republicans are in the as
cendant in this state, and while dep
recating that fact, lays the founda
tion of its editorial comment upon
the basis of monetary principles, in
stead of Mr. Mitchell's connection
with Oregon's politics. It goes back
to the monetary standard, and bases
its objections to the federal appoint
ees, not on the ground that they were
recommended by Mr. Mitchell, but
on the broader ground that they are
not sound upon the money question,
and incidentally attacks ex-Senator
Mitchell, Mr. Hermann and Con
gressman Ellis because the' have
heretofore been friends of silver.
The Oregonian never has, and
probably' never will, admit that
while the Oregon delegation were ad
vocating the free coinage of silver
they were obeying the commands of
them is an extraordinary intelligence
and an honest - conviction. , George
was a deep thinker, a logical reasoner,
firm in his convictions and fearless in
their expression. He was a typical
American, and . his life's work has
left an impression on American poli
tics and American literature that will
last. He was a good man, and in
many respects a great one, whose
death is a national loss.

the commands of the party or to re

a masterly manner in order to be a

a free silyer advocate, could not
possibly be an advocate of the prin
cipals laid down in the national plat
form. It has persistently asserted

Spanish demands for the prevention
of filibustering. It has been found
necessary to police the entire eastern
coast at a very heavy cost, and pur

If the new Spanish premier is look

The Oregonian has ontranted Popu
lism in backing Corbett and con
demning evemhing else. It attacks
McBride, not because he is vulnera
ble, but to get a stab at Mitchell.
It attacks Hermann, not because it
has any quarrel with him, but because
behind him it sees Mitchell. It at
tacks Ellis, whose record is as crystal,
not because of any cause, except its
desire to reach Mitchell. To down
Mitchell there is no depth of deceit

Mitchell there are no Parnassan

not soar. To down Mitchell there
are no intracacie? of falsehood which
it would not explore. To down

convinced us of this, for while rusti

last month the only paper we re
ceived was The Dalles Chkoxicle.
Ot course we read-1t; we had to, or
go without. Almost the first paper
we received contained a telegram
Stating that tbe price of chocolate
caramels on the Yukon was twenty
five cents a piece.
After j'ears association with The
Chronicle as chief news dispenser
that telegram made us proud. We :
thought of the time, only ninety
years ago, when it took 'the news
thirty hours to go from New York to
Philadelphia. We thought . of the
time, less than forty years ago, when
ii took six months to get news from
Washington to Portland, and we felt
proud indeed to know that in less
than thirty days after the sale of a
chocolate caramel at Dawson City,
for the price of a quarter of a dollar,
The Chkoxicle, 3,000 miles away,
was enabled to give to its readers

For soma tine she has been very ill and tbe

months nay been unusually severe.
The tale f her sufferings and the subse
quent relief and final cure which she derived
from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Paje People, aroused considerable agitation
aatong her many mends ana others.
A reporter was detailed to obtain a relia
ble account of this marvelous case, and when
he called he found Miss MoKinney at her com
fortable and cozy home where she cheerfully
complied with his request. She said :
"The first indication that I had that any
thing was radically - wrong with ms was
about three years ago. I suffered the. most
exoruciating pains in different parts of my
body and was almost crazed at times. My
sleep was disturbed by horrible dreams and
I had began to waste away to almost a
shadow. To add to my other afflictions the
malady assumed a catarrhal turn and I was
toon a victim to that horrible as well as dis
gusting disease. I consulted the family
Ethpriclan who gave me some kind of a nos
Kjn and I was foolish enough to imagine
iht it benefited me. I followed the advice
of the physioians but noticed no perceptible
Improvement in my condition ana was about
to despair of ever becoming a strong and
well woman again.
" Some of my lady friends were calling on
me one afternoon and before them I hap
pened to mention my troubles, when one of
them recommended that; I try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I had never
had any faith in medicines of that kind and
faid but little attention to the suggestion,
t was not long after this, however, that I
again heard tbe pills highly recommended,
by several persons, and then it was that I
decided to give them a trial and purchased
one box of the pills. I toon began to notice
an improvement in my condition and before
the whole box had been taken my health
was so much improved that I was about ready
to begin singing the praises of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People.
"I was not yet thoroughly convinced and
decided to wait a while before growing en
thusiastic over tbe results, and had begun
on the second box before I was confident
that I had at last found a medicine to meet
the requirements of my case. I discontinued
my calls to the physicians and have left
them alone since. I am now as well and
strong as I ever was in my life; am entirely
free from all pains and never felt better in
my life. I eat regularly and sleep like a
babe. No more are my slumbers haunted
with tearful dreams and when I retire at
nijjht I go to sleep at once. I regard Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People as mr
salvation, and would recommend them to all
ladies troubled at 1 was. The pills are more
than what is claimed for them and anvone
giving them a trial will soon come to the
same conclusion regarding their merits that I
nave."

The number of minors who became

countries having the system in oper

for the purpose of encouraging chil

for stamp deposits.
In Great Britain, for instance, the
smallest deposit ' which will be re
ceived and entered in a passbook is
one shilling, or twenty-four cents,
However, smaller amounts may be
saved by stamps. A child with a
penny may buy a stamp and affix it
to a card. When this card contains
twelve stamps it can be deposited as
a shilling, and the depositor is en
titled to receive a pass book. This
arrangement makes the institution
very popular among, the children,
and is so convenient as to stimulate
them to make use of its advantages.
In addition, the schools are frequent
ly made use of as agencies of the
postal bank for the collection of sav
ings. The teachers receive the de
posits of the children and turn them
over to the postal bank authorities.
Belgium is one of the countries in
which activities of the savings bank
are extended to the school-room.
Out of iAli primary schools, inclu
sive of infant schools and the schools
of primary instruction attached to
educational institutions oftli;r
classes, there were 4,798 which took
part in the savings-bank business.
The, number of children in those
schools possessing deposit books was
153,192, of whom 86,309 were boys
and 67,883 were girls. Including
the schools above primary grade
there were, according to a recent re
port, 5,056 schools of all kinds in
which - 200.847 pupils had saved
3,734,402 francs. Most of the schools
.What tbe Product of the Laboratory
Looks Like.
At the Royal institution recently,
Mr. William Crookes delivered a lecture
on "Diamonds." He said that, thanks
to Prof. Moissan, diamonds could now
be manufactured in the laboratory
minutely microscopic, it was true, but
with crystalline form and appearance,
color, hardness and action on light the
same as the natural gem. ,The first
necessity, was to select pure iron and to
pack it in a carbon crucible with pure
charcoal from sugar..'' Half a pound of
this iron was put into the body of the
electric furnace, and a powerful arc. ab
sorbing about 100 horse power, formed
close above it between carbon poles.
The iron rapidly melted and saturated
itself with carbon. After a few min
utes', heating to a temperature above
4,000 degrees Centigrade, the current
was stopped and the dazzliDg, fiery
crumble plunged in cold water until it
cooled below a red heat. Iron increased
involumeatthemomentof passingfrom
he liquid to the solid state; hence the
expansion of the mnef liquid on solidi
fying produced an enormous pressure,
under stress of which the dissolved car
bon separated out in a transparent,
dense, crystalline form in fact, as dia
mond. To obtain the diamond from the
metallic ingot . required a long and
tedious process of treatment with vari
ous strong reagents, and the specimens
thus obtained were only microscopic.
The largest artificial diamond yet made
was less than one millimeter across.
Many circumstances pointed to the con
clusion that the diamond of the chemist
and the diamond of the mine were
strangely akin in origin, and the dia
mond genesis must have taken place at
great depths under high pressure. How
the great diamond pipes came into ex
istence, was not difficult to understand.
After they were pierced they were filled
from below, and the diamonds, formed
at some epoch too remote to imagine,
were thrown out with a mud volcano,
together with all kinds of debris eroded
from adjacent rocks. According to an
other theory the diamond was a direct
gift from heaven, conveyed to earth in
meteoric showers, and the so-called vol
canic pipes simply holes bored in the
earth by the impact of monstrous
meteors. London Times.
