J. M. PATTERSON, Chairman Republican County Com. .XL T. NOLAN, Secretary. Pennoyer for senator is what the Portland . politicians are seeking. " This wily old log-roller is playing a 'deep game, and onless the people of V9negon are watchful, they will awake some morning to find themselves Mnmsnntori in th sraintp hv the 89.W - I j mill statesman. The Fourth of July orators have mntAfidl fnrr.i'uhail Itiam w fllO Action of congress in voting the war appropriation. The obliterating of sectional lines between the North - and South will be a pleasant theme to dwell upen. A 'united country now exists in deed as well as in uiame. "No one believes the report that General Weyler has admitted hav ifiig laid the mines in Havana harbor which resulted in the explosion of ane xuaine. meie is nine uuuut -but tbat the mines exist and that .probably Weyler laid them, but it is 'hardly reasonable that he is writing the fact down, as the letter may full into the bands ot vigilant newspaper correspondents. This report is an other emanation from yellow jour nalism, Does the free silver question have to be fought out again in Oregon this year? Dd the unanswerable ar guments in favor of sound money 4iave to be again put forth, and tbe fallacies of the free silverites' posi tion exposed? Does the well-known truth need to be reiterated tbat a cheap money aud a dearer money cannot circulate together ; but that the cheaper coin will inevitably drive the other o.ut of circulation, and we will have but tbe cheaper metal with which to do our business ? Are these people who are clamoring for the tfree and unlimited coinage of Bilver really sincere in their protestations, or is their clamoring but a subterfuge with which to gain the offlses? All these and many more questions, pre sent themselves now that fusion of the free silver forces is complete. They can only be answered satisfac torily os tbe campaign progresses. The middle-of-the-road .Populist and the gold-standard Democrat are in a like situation! Both are desert ed by their parlies and left stranded on the shores of political desolation by the receding free silver waves. Along with the Farmers Alliance, tbe prohibition movement and vari ous other attempted reforms, true blue Populism has had its day. In the future it will be known as a spas modic attempt on the part of disap pointed politicians ' to corral the offices. The Democrats of Sherman county look npon tbe fusion movement dif ferently than tbey do in this county. At tbe recent convention, held at Moro, fusion was progressing smooth Iy untij it came' to adopting resolu tions when tbe Democrats refused to surrender all their individual or party feelings and- swallow the dose prepared by tbe Populists. Fusion cannot be commended save as po litical expediency. In this instance, however, thjere seems to be little reason why the Democrats,1 Free Silverites and Populists should not fuse, as the difference in their polit ical beliefs is too minute for discern ment. - . Those prophets who . have been predicting tbat the end of this cen tury should see some stirring times, may witness their predictions verified. The building of new navies is going on at a remarkable rate. England is putting $96,000,000 into new war ships; Russia has decided to spend $90,000,000 in the same manner, while Germany is making large ex penditures for naval armament. Tne Spanish war scare may pass away, but there are other great interna tional questions to decide which an appeal to arms may be necessary. The actionr of congress in voting $50,000,000 for defensive armanent came none to soon. Liberia is probably tbe only col ony in Africa in which the colonists acquired a right by purchase. Tbe American Negioes who emigrated to Liberia under the direction of tbe American Colonization Society did not go into Africa as c'aimants of any specified territory, but they bought outright a district thai suited their purposes for experiment in re publican government. As the years have gone by the republic has been. enlarged, but always by purchase. The European powers represented in Africa took possession ot certain native 6tates and proceeded to make them over as adjuncts or dependen cies of European states. The re-' public of Liberia was established in 1847. It is not as much in tbe way of European powers as the South African republic, and it bas been free from invasion for torty years, because tbe people bave attended strictly to their own business, and because it was understood tbat in some way the little republic was under the protection of tbe United States. Certainly this country ought to bave a friendly interest in Liberia, and that interest ought to go far enough to protect it from ' undue in fluence by European powers. At Philadelphia, during 1899, a large- trade exposition will be held, of which the prospectus has lately been i-sued ly the Philadelphia Ex position Association. The main purpose of this exposition will be to extend our foreign trade by exhibit ing manufactures in this couutry best suited for export trade side b' side with samples of products from Euy rcpe. Trade bodies in all . parts of tbe country give assurance of tteir co-operation. The exposition will probably be held in permanent fire proof buildings, to be elected on land set aside for that purpose by the city of Philadelphia. , The exposi tion will be opened May 10, 1899, and will -continue, for .five months. American( manufactures, properly classified and displayed, will form tbe most extensive department. . An- other important department will con tsist of exhibits of European manu faclures, selected by competent specialists,, with a view; to showing the requirements of the diffcrcnt'ex port markets., A third department will be that of packing and shipping, designed to show in detail ho American goods should' be packed, labeled and shipped to meet the re quirements of foreign trade.. SWALLOWED TUB CAMEL. From a fusion standpoint the three conventions Saturday accomplished their , work with but little hitch in the program. The leaders appor tioned the offices, and though some individuals were disappointed at the allotment, yet tbe division was final ly unanimously accepted. All who witnessed the various proceedings Satuidny could not hut be con vinced that the whole affair was J)ut an arrangement for securing the county offices and placing in promi nence men who had long aspired to this sort of thing. Principles were lost sight of, and everything made secondary to the claims of certain individuals for office. ; We doubt if this fusion arrange ment will appeal to the commenda tion of the great body of voters who believe there is something more in politics than simple ftrugg'e for office. The alliance of the Populists and Democrats will be distaslefnl to many members of each organization, while the acceptance by the Free Silver Republicans of the doctiines which once they so vigorously op posed shows that surely time worketb womdrous changes. History is but repeating itself, and the Republican party is called upon again to defend the nation's credit and prevent tbe misery which would result from irresponsible Populist misrule. - The campaign in Oregon will be a notable one as indicating whether or -not its people are able to learn from experience OBSERVATIONS BY PROCTOR. ' The statement made by Senator Proctor in the senate Thursday ma terially increased the prospect of in tervention by this country in tbe Cuban war. Senator Proctor went to Cuba as a dispassionate observer and returns to this country horrified at the. warfare Spain has carried on. It was a striking scene in tbe senate when Proctor arose and made known the results of his personal observa tions, and the attention paid to bis remarks shows bow deep is the in terest taken in this question. . Tbe horrible condition .existing fn Cuba can be realized from these words ot Proctor: "Outside of Havana all is changed. It is not peace, nor is it war; it is desolation and destruction, misery and starvation. Every town and village is surrounded by a trocha, a sort of rifle pit, but constructed on a plan new to me, dirt being thrown up on the outside and tbe barbed wire fence on the other side of the trench. I saw no house or hut in tbe 400 miles of railroad rides from Pinar del Rio province in the west, across the full width of Havana and Matanzas provinces and to Sagua la Grande, on the north shore, and to Ci'enfuegos, on the south shore of Santa Clara, except within the Span ish t roc lias. There are no - domestic animals or crops on the rich fields and pastures, except such as are un der guard in tbe immediate vicinity of the towns. In other words the Spaniards hold in those four western provinces just what their army sits on. Every man, woman and child, and ,very domestic animal, wherever the columns have , marched, is under guard and within their so-called for tifications. To describe one place is to describe all.'! WHY AX EXTRA SESSION. . The Portland Chronicle, a journal which represents "the Simon-Corbett combination, intimates that Governor Lord will not gratify the Mitchell men, as he calls them, by convening the legislature in extra session. This may be true, but Governor Lord will be making a grevious error if be conclude (that the Mitchell men, or any other set of individuals, alone desire an extra session. The great majority of Republican voters and the people' generally are anxious to see Oregon have her full represents- tion at the national capital. There is no attempt on the part of those asking for a legislative session to in sist that any one man shall be elected or any particular individual be de feated, but only that an opportunity be given the Republican members of the legislature to send some one to Washington who can fittingly fill the seat now vacant. If Mr. Corbett should be elected senator, well and good. He will then be the choice of the people of Oregon as evidenced by the vote of their representatives. All tbat the supporters of an extra session ask is that the danger of a Populist senator be eliminated and. that it ma' be made impossible that Oregon should be classed among the Populist slates. Tbe fusion movement is gathering force, and there is no doubt but that fusion candidates for the legislature will be nominated in every county. While there 'is every reason to be lieve tbat tbe Republicans will carry the state, still a severe struggle is inevitable, and the result is always a matter of doubt. We have an op portunity to elect a Republican sen ator if Governor Lord will beed the call of duty. The Chronicle is not a Mitchell paper, nor is it supporting the candi dacy of any particular individual It believes that there is plenty of material from which an able senator may be chosen, and sees no worthy argument yet put forth against the calling of an extra session. Mining and Irrigation Convention. For tbe Mining and Irrigation Con vention, to be held at Baker City, Or., March 29th, 30th and 31st, the O. R. & N. Co. will make a rate of one and one fifth fare for the ronnd trip. Delegates or parties attending the convention, paying full fare to Baker City on March 2Gth, 27th, 28th and -29th, will be re turned at one-fifth fare on presentation of certificates on or before April 3d to our agent at Baker City, signed by the secretary of tbe convention. 9-tf SUMMONS.

Then inflammatory rheumatism set in. For four months and a half I was a prisoner in my room, most of the time confined to my bed. My hands were swollen so that I could not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet and ankles would have made walking impossible if J bad been strong enough. "One day. after considerable treatment. my physician brought me a box of pills. "Von need a tonic," he said, "and some thitffr that will act at once, and this is the best medicine I know of for that purpose." "Pills," I exclaimed in surprise as be opened the box and showed me . the little pink globes. " These are Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." "Yes," he replied, "but yon need not be alarmed, they are not physic, and my word for it, they'll do you good.'' " Before I had been taking them a week I noticed a great improvement in my con dition.
