LET US ALL HELP.
The establishment of a morning
paper in The Dalles has long been
felt to be a thing greatly desired by
the reading public. Situated as this
city is, the distributing point for a
great bection of country, with a pop
ulation alive, and awake to the
mighty events which are daily trans
piring in all parts of the world, it has
. been a strange condition which has
not allowed this enterprise to have
been leached sooner. But circum
stances have heretofore never seemed
to permit the outlay which the pub
lication of a morning paper with
complete telegraphic reports would
necessarily ensue. The time lias
come, however, when The Chroni
cle will give to the citizens ot The
Dalles an opportunity to say whether
or not tbey wish the news of the
world laid before them every morn
ing, or would prefer to jdepend upon
meager bulletins and read the news
twenty-four hours later. The sub
scription price of the paper will not
be increased, nor will the advertising
rates be advanced. All The Chron
icle wants is more subscribers and a
greater number of advertisers, and it
is confident the new venture will
firove a success. The citizens of The
Dalles, with their accustomed liber
ality, will not allow this opportunity
for benefit to their town to fail of
proper support.
The system of privateering as
vould most certainly be carried on
by Spain, if permitted, would simply
amount to piracy. Its purpose
would be private plunder, rather
SLhan hostile damage. , Its prey
would be commerce, its victims mer
chants. The declaration of Paris
proclaims the abolition of piivaleer
.ing. That declaration has been en
dorsed by every nation of ccnse--quenoe
except the United States,
Mexico and Spain, although the
United Stales, at the time, expressed
-.sympathy with it, wishing to go even
-farther and make all private property
sacred in warfare. Yet, the way the
"TOnYier stands, these three powers
would be free to send forth priva
teers if they choose. It has been
tfTiTfToetnrl in ArHor tr frraat oil Qnoin'o
Almost inevitable lesort to barbarism,
that congress should repeal the navi
gation laws, which prevent American
vessels from sailing under a foreign
flag in time of war. But the recent
action of the powers will obviate the
necessity of this. Tiibane.
There need be no anxiety for the
safety ot . ibe battleship Oregon,
which is ploughing the waters of
4he Pacific somewhere in the vicinity
of Cape Horn, It was suggested in
yesterday's dispatches that some
Spanish war vessels would attempt to
intercept the Oregon bef3re she
joined her sister ships; but any one
who has studied the number and con
dition of Spain's fighting vessels will
easily conclude that none of them
can be spared from the work nearer
iiome to start on any cruise to run
tuuck of the : Oregon. Spain has
pressing need of all her warships just
at present, and in a little while 6he
may not have any vessels to send on
such a cruise as this one would be.
No greater incentive for the
American sailors to perform deeds of
valor is needed tbanthe slogan "Re
member the Maine." Upon what
ver pretext the administration has
placed its grounds for war, the
American sailor has made his own
conclusion and thinks Gist of all of
the damnable outrage perpetrated in
Havana harbor. Never was a war
entered into with more enthusiasm
than this one or waged in a holier
cause. - ' - ....
Soon these noisy congressmen who
have been attacking President Mc
kinley will be consuming a great
amount of time attempting, to ex-
plain away their words. As the sit
uation clears, ibe actions and motives
of the president are revealed in their
proper light and reflect credit upon
the chief executive and bis immedi
ate advisers..
GOOD MORNISG.
Tuesday Daily.
The Chronicle presents itself to
the reading' public under new cir
cumstances this morning. In ac
cordance with the announcement
made last week, The Chronicle is
now a morning paper, publishing tel
egraphic reports as complete as can
be obtained. Such arrangements
have been made which will insure a
thorough telegraphic service, and
though the expense connected with
this new departure will be materi
ally increased, yet we believe that
by the co-operation of the citizens
of The Dalles, the venture will be
a successful one.
The Dalles has never bad a morn
ing pnrer which published telegraph
ic leports. The two evening papers
have done their best to cover the
local field, and now it seems as
though conditions were ripe for en
larging the scope and influence of
this paper. It may be stated at the
outset that every endeavor will be
made to give to the people of this
city and tributary country a news
paper which shall be, in every re
spect, worthy the name.
Already gratifying results have
been obtained in securing additional
advertising and1 new subscribers.
We shall still seek more. The
Chronicle does not ask for anything
except that it receive fair support in
the advertising and printing de
pattments. We will promise you
a paper that will be worth far more
than the subscription price.
As it has in the past striven faith
full to do, The Chronicle will in
the future work for the advancement,
financial, social and moral, of the
city and country, a part of which it
is. No less than this can any honest
paper do, n6r is it wise to attempt
more.
As an experiment the attempt to
conduct a morning paper in The
Dalles will be watched with interest.
The prospect seems bright, and with
the endeavor which shall be made to
be faithful to the public, success is
almost certain. .
The sending by President McKin
ley of his message to congress will
result in an official declaration of
war. It is pet haps necessary from
the standpoint of international law,
but it is pointless as affecting the
feeling of the American people. In
their hearts war was declared long
ago when the gallant Maine sunk in
the harbor mud and the brave sailor
boys . met eternity witbout a mo
ment's warnmg. Revenge may not
be a Christian virtue, but we are hu
man enough to want it now and then.
We shall get it now, and though the
destruction of Spanish ships will not
yield back the sailors of the Maine,
it will say to the world that the mur
derers of that night in Havana harbor
were tried, condemned and punished.
Already the markets are feeling
the effect of the Spanish war.. Flour
and wheat are going above the high
est prices of the season. The tend
ency is towards speculative condi
tions, and when the exact status of
things is determined, there will be a
sudden reaction. .
This capturing of diminutive fish
ing boats ami small sized freight
steamers 1y our war ships is but the
play " pin t of war. It counts for
much in shoeing the enthusiasm of
the men, but does not mean that this
pleasant cruising on the still waters
of the Southern sea will long con
tinue. Besides, we mayhear at any
time of the Spaniards turning the
tables upon os at the other side of
the Atlantic. , !
"Read the -j news at the breakfast
table" is ' what the citizens of The
Dalles may do from now on. Every
thing complete, fresh and as nearly
reliable as can be made is the aim of
The Chronicle.

A "breaking down of the nervons system"
is a modern expression, a modern com
plaint. It is induced by prolonged strain
and the overtaxing of the nervous system,
and is a product of over hurry and hustle.
It affects the preacher rad the lawyer the
direct result of brain tire. It affects people
in any walk of life, too. who worry and fret.
It means a depleting of the nerve forces.
It is curable by complete rest and change
of scene, also by the use of nerve restoratives
and nerve foods. As the first method is aot
within the reach of all, the latter offers
the most universal and practical method
of treating the complaint. When it is de
termined that medicine is to be used, se
lect that one which contains the most nerve
nourishing properHes. Do not take nerve
tonics. They only stimulate, and the reaction
leaves you worse than you were before.
Select the mediciue that is to the nerves
what meat is to the body one that as it
builds up the nerves, also increases your
weight. The best thing for the purpose is
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
the reputation of which is built up by solid
and indisputable proof, and which is known
In every hamlet in the country.
As a proof of its merits in such cases, read
the following letter of a clergyman :
Dr. Williams' SIed. Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y.
Dear Sirs: In April, 1896, I was a hope
less case, owing to a complete breaking down
of my nervous system and to a persistent
stomach trouble. I had been treated by a
great many physicians but received no per
manent benefit. I had been down four times
with nervous prostration and twice with
gastritis. These attacks would come with
such violence as to throw me into spasms.
The time came when physicians said I must
stop preaching or die. I would be so ex
hausted after the last service on Sunday that
I could scarcely get from the pulpit. Many
time I have had to sit down and rest be
fore I could leave the church in order to
gain a little strength. I could eat neither
do hereby certify itiat the foregoing is a true and correct statement of the financial
condition of said county, as the name appears of record from the books of said
county, in my oflice and custody, and from the .reports of the County Treasurer
and Sheriff, filed herein.

V A FIGHTING DIET.
Sncb. Ia Said to Co That of the Veire-
- tar Ian.
I regTet to say that vegetarianism is
a fighting diet, writes G. B. Shaw in the
London Vegetarian. . Ninety-nine per
cent, of the world s fighting has been
done on farinaceous food. In Trafalgar
square I found it impossible to run
away as last as .the meat eaters did.
Panic is a carnivorous specialty. If the
army were fed on a hardy, healthy,
fleshless diet we should hear no more of
the disgust of our colored troops and of
the Afridis and Fuzzywuzzies at the
cowardice of Tommy Atkins. I am my
self congenitally timid, but as a vege
tarian I can generally conceal my
tremors; whereas in my unregenerate
clays, when I ate my fellow-creatures, I
was as patient a coward as Peter the
Great. The recent spread of fire-eating
fiction and Jingo war worship a sort
of thing that only interests the pusil
lanimous is due to the spread of meat
eating.' Compare the Tipperary peasant
to the potatoes-and-bnttermilk days
with the modern gentleman who gorges
himself with murdered cow. The Tip
perary man never read bloody-minded
novels or cheered patriotic music hall
tableaus, but he fought recklessly and
wantonly. Your carnivorous gentle
man is afraid of everything including
doctors, dogs, disease, death apd truth
telling. ANCIENT GLOVEG. !
Made of Chicken Skin and Worn at
. Night tn the Sixteenth Century.
The wearing of gloves is a more an
cient custom than it is generally
thought to be. Homer speaks of gloves
and tells -of one who wore them to pro-'
tect his hands while working in his gar-j
den. says the New York Tribune. The
use of some coverinp-s fo th? hsindsj
was known to the ancient Persians and!
Old Testament writeis also mention
them. They were in such common use
among the Romans that they, were worn
cen in the wild country by the Britons.
St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin
Mary, was. it has been said, n knitter
and manufacturer of gloves, for which
reason the glove-makers of France long
ago made her their patron saint. At
one time gloves had a certain meaning
attached to them, and were chosen to
show the character or occupation of the
wearer. There are records of gloves!
being ordered for "grave and spiritual
men. About this time, the sixteenth
century, gloves made of chickens' skins
were used by both men and women for
whitening the hands and were worn at
night.
Some Millionaire Statistics.
Berlin boasts of 2,002 millionaires,
reckoned on the basis of incomes that
would represent a capital of 1,000,000
marks that is, $9,000 a year. Only
1,103 of these, however, actually have
the $250,000 of capital; 78 have 5,000,000
marks or over, and only five have the
20,000,000 marks that would make them
millionaires in England.
Rheumatism Cured.
- My wife has nsed Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheumatism with great relief,
and I can recommend it as a splendid
liniment for rheumatism and other
household use far which we have found
it valuable. W. J. Cuyler, Eed Creek,

meat nor vegetables.
I dared not allotr mi
bare feet to as much as touch the cold carrjet
or floor, to say nothing of taking a cold foot
bath. If I did I was immediately seized
with cramps. In this condition I com
menced to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. I took one box and felt no
better in fact worse. I said I wonld take
no more, but my wife urged the matter, feel
ing my life depended upon the result, as
every thing else had failed, and I was " used
up." I therefore continued to take them.
Since then, and it has been several months,
I have had but one slight attack and have
enjoyed life. Have preached all summer
and held revival meetings for fifteen weeks.
During that time my wife was sick seven
weeks, so that my rest was much .loken.
Some nights I did not sleep at all. ' I have
had no muscular exercise for years until re
cently, when I have done some work in my
garden, and my muscles stand the test re
markably well. I can eat anything I de
sire, and can now enjoy a cold bath daily.
Every Sabbath I preach three times, and now
think I am good for another twenty years il
the Lord wills. I am surprised at myself
and sometimes think it cannot be possible
that I have accomplished what. I have.
