THE BEST THING TO LO.
Judge George II. Williams an
uounces that be is not a candidate
for one of the judicial positions in
Multnomah county. In view of the
lact that Judge Wiliams was thrown
out of the Republican convention in
Astoiia and given to understand that
neither he he nor his friends could be
longer honored with that name be
probably thinks be can be of service
no longer to his party or the com
munity in which he lives. The ac
tion of the convention was a mistake
we are free to admit, and instead of
bringing about harmon- it will tend
towards widening the breach. If
men like Judge Williams could have
had a hand in. directing the action of
the convention, the party would be
in more harmonious condition today.
But two wrongs do not. make a right,
and the principles represented by the
Republican party are the best and
wisest for the state. Personal feel
ings had better be lain aside, and a
hearty support be given to the parly
whese principles and precepts are
right, even if sometimes its leaders
do err.
The ministers of Portland repre
-sent the Church Militant in their ob
jection to the Sunday concert at
1 Camp McKinley. Their course does
not seem to be the wisest one, and
will hardly meet with general ap
proval, The life in a military camp
is irksome in the extreme, and es
pecially is it so to the young recruits
. who for the first time are undergoing
the discipline of restraint. A Sunday
concert, of the kind the proposed one
.promises to be, would work no harm,
T)ut, on the contrary, divert the
minds of the soldiers from the weari
ness of camp life. It is hardly fair
" to deny the men who are about to
risk their lives in their country's
'-service, a pleasure which is allowed
every week to those in civil life.
Why do not the Poitlnnd ministers
object to the Sunday concerts held
(regularly in their city, and allow for
;t his once, an inoffensive pleasure to
cthe soldier boys to pass without ob
jection.? Time brings many cnanges, but
none more complete than the recon
ciliation between the North and
South. The appointment by Prcsi
dent McKinley of Generals Lee and
Wheeler, at one time officers in the
VODieueraie service io ue ujajur
.generals in the volunteer army, Hlus
itrates how completely the old bitter
ness has been allayed. It is true the
civil war is still being fought among
some people, but generally it is
: among those who shrank from the
-conflict when It was raging, prefer
ring to stay at home and criticize.
-A foreign war is sometimes neces--sary
to bring out the latent patriot
ism of the people and weld together
the conflicting interests of different
localities.
Alfred W. Dyer, of Rossland, who
wasfor several years a resident of
the far east, and was for a while a
dweller in Manila, said in a recent
interview: "If the governor. general
has surrendered the entire islands to
the United States, the Americans
hive a heavy task before them in
-controlling them, for the population
is totally incapable of self-government,
and the governor must be an
autocrat of the sternest type." It
can hardly be thought that the gov
ernment at Washington has any
serious intention of annexing these
islands. As ex-President Harrison
pat it Tuesday, in his address to the
Indiana volunteers: "We do not
deny dominion to Europe in order
to seize it for ourselves. But we
may justly, I think, in the West
Indies, and in the fur eastern seas,
where our ' gallant navy has won so
splendid a victory, hold some little
unpeopled harbors where our cruising
warships may. coal and find refuge
when in stress."
THE NEXT FIGHT.
If America wins a decided victory
in the next naval battle, it is nothing
more than reasonable to expect that
the end of the war is not far removed.
The effect of Dewey's victory has
been very marked in bringing dis
may to the Spaniards, as well as mak
ing the European nations believe
that nothing but ultimate defeat is
in store for Spain. The Queen Re
gent is preparing to seek refuge out
of her own dominions, while the Span
is'i ministers are in trepidation lest
the anger of the populace tempt
them to deeds of violence.
It is too much for hope that Ad
miral Sampson may obtain such a
victory as Dewey's. Spain will fight
with the determination of despair.'
Her fleet in the Atlantic is stronger
than that which the American com
mander fought and destroyed at Ma
nila, and there is time to make every
necessary preparation.
The world may well pause, in awful
contemplation when the American
and Spanish ships come together. It
will be the greatest sea fight in his
tory, as well as the deadliest. The
results of tha working of human in
genuity for centuries are seen in the
modern battleships, and, directed by
men of long training and peculiar
ability in such lines, they will be
fearful engines of destruction. But
it is better that tha next engagement
be a fierce ore and demonstrate 10
Spain, If such a lesson is needed, that
surrender is not only wise, but nec
sssary. WHAT WILL HE DO WITH ITS
Here, is more trouble for the un
easy mcrtals who were afraid Com
modore Dewey would be defeated at
Manila. These same men are now
afraid that as the commodore has
captured Manila neither he nor the
United States government will know
what to do with it. They are afraid
the commodore can't let go with the
remarkable facility with which he
took hold.
It will be time enough "to climb
over that fence when we come
to it. In the meantime the United
States will bold Manila UDder mili
tary rule just as it would bold, or as
any other country would hold, any
other city captured during a war.
The question of disposition need
not 'be considered now at all. That
will be decided by those who frame
a treaty of peace.
For the first lime since the Mexi
can war, says the Inter Ocean, the
United States is compelled to oscupy
foreign territory, but hc is not
called upon to Offer any explanations.
The rules of war, observed by all
civilized nations, cover the case.
Commodore Dewey will maintain
older in the captured territory, and
will use it in the interest of his own
country, making such regulations as
will guard the interests of other na
tions and protect the lives and prop
erty of the people.
There is to be a merry fight over
the office of district attorney for
Multnomah county. Already five
candidates are in the field. Of these
two have been nominated by con
ventions, and the remainder by peti
tion. This position is one of the
most lucrativo in the state, and it is
small wonder that so ninny de
sire the plum. A spasmodic effort
has been maJe to place the district
attorney's office on a salary basis,
but the attempt heretofore has failed.
The emoluments of the position are
said to reach 820,000, which are far in
excess of what they should be.
Portland has a hard time of it with
her extravagant salaries and high
taxes, but no one is to blame for the
situation but her own citizens. .It is
simply a case of too much politics.
The long-continued silence of
Commodore Dewey- is undoubtedly
due to a cessation of cable communi
cation, and there is no reason to
doubt that everything is well with
him and. bis men. Yet knowing what
a deadly thing modern warfare must
be, we shall rest easier when it is
told that the loss of the Americans is
not large. That some of oar coun-
trymen were killed probably true,
tor the Spauiards fought a game
fight, '
' REVENUE LOING WELL.
It is encouraging that the rev
enue holds up so well, says the New
York Tribune, In spite of some
natural restriction of imports on ac
count of the unceilainties of war.
Although imports should be much
smaller than a year ago, when they
were greatly swelled by anticipation
ot new duties, the decrease of 30 per
cen: in four weeKS ot April at iuis
city is evidently due in part to some
preparation for nvoiqence of war
risks earlier, and to some hjnderance
of imports since hostilities became
inevitable. If on'y a small part of
the $16,440,000 decrease in imports
at New York alone during these four
weeks of April was due to this cause,
a corresponding decrease of revenue
would account for much' more than
the decrease in customs revenue,
comparing with thirty days of March.
The aggregate aeoeipts, over 33,000,
000 in thirty days of April, were
not all from taxation, for $2,651,500
must be deducted for receipts from
railway sales on the 9th and 19th,
so that the actual revenue has been
$30,361,442, a gain slightly more
than the $1,000,000 per day which
would cover all the ordinary ex
penses of goverment. The customs
receipts were $655,357 smaller than
in thirty dajs of March, but internal
receipts were much larger.
The checking of imports just at
the time war breaks out in order to
avoid risk at sea, does not necessa
rily imply any decrease whatever
after conditions have become known.
Under these rules, promulgated by
the Spanish government, all imports
in neutral vessels will be safe unless
contraband of war, and imports
owned by neutrals in American
shios. The ordinary imports into
the United States include no article
of importance which is contraband.
American owners of goods in dis
tant ports can avoid risk by shipping
in neutral vessels, and American
vessels in distant ports will be able
to take cargoes exclusively of neutral
goods, without exposing such goods
to seizure.
While the carrying trade by
American vessels will doubtless be'
diminished, there is no reason to
suppose that the movement of goods
to this country will be in apy degree
reduced in consequence of hostilities,
unless the general ' prosperity and
consumption of the people of this
country are nnfavorbly affected.
Even of Spanish products, any need
ed quantity could be procured
through English buyers and shippers,
though in all the imports from that
country were In value only $3,631,
000 last year.
The customs receipts have fallen
slightly below those of March, but if
the general prosperity is not checked,
large imports and revenue may be
reasonably expected . as soon as the
embarrassment of providing against
war risk in shipment has been over
come. If tie country wants and is
ready to buy -as largely of foreign
goods as it has done in past months,
there will be no difficulty whatever
in arranging shipments so as to avoid
the risk of war. ,
With Europe heavily indebted'to
this country on every month's mer
chandise transactions, and an enor
mous balance still drie. notwithstand
ing gold imports of, unusual magni
tude, it is not to. be expected that
there will be any difficulty in finding
foreign houses to supply this country
with all that its people want ; and by
such carriers as to avoid risks in con
sequence of war.
Dewey's dispatch reads like a mes
sage from some Roman conqueror
who had captured everything in
sight and was sending the good news
home. If it be true that the Ameri
cans sustained no loss while dealing
death to hundreds of Spaniards, the
report reads more like a fairy tale
than a description of a modem sea

HE TELLS ABOUT THE SUFFERING OF HIS
DAUGHTER.
A Victim of Nervous Prostration and Neuralgia,
- Saved After Her Physician Abandoned Hope.
From the Republican, Oolumbut, Ind.
Whila in the neighborhood of Rugby,
Indiana, recently, a reporter was told that
Miss Clara Hopkins, daughter of Mr. Dennis
Hopkins, a prominent farmer of Bartho
lomew County, had been tha subject of a
remarkable . transformation. The reporter
decided to investigate aud learn the par
ticulars. He was driven to Mr. Hopkins'
splendid country home, where he had an
interesting conversation with that gentleman
regarding the illness of his only daughter. ,
"You have been correctly informed," said
Mr. Hopkins, " for Clara has indeed had a
severe siege. She tried Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People and they did her more
good than all other medicines together that she
ever took. A few boxes of that medicine
accomplished the cure of a case in a few
months which had baffled physicians for
years.
"About three years ago her health began
to fail. The doctor who attended her said this
was caused by weak digestion. This produced
nervousness, which was accompanied by neu
ralgic troubles, which at first was located in
the nerves about the heart. Of course this
was a dangerous location for any such trouble,
and she rapidly grew worse, notwithstanding
that the physician was treating her. This
continued till a year ago last November, at
which time she was almost constantly confined
to her bed,
"The neuralgia became gradually worse,
and finally she was a confirmed victim to it.
"Nervous prostration set in. and she was
toon all run down. Her blood was impure

and watery, and ner complexion became sal.
low and colorless. She had no strength, and
the least noise irritated her, she was so ner
vous. We bad another physician, and he
treated her steadily for a year without doing '
her any good. In fact, it seemed that she
was continually becoming worse. He finally
gave up the case as hopeless, and advised
us to get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People for her, as he said that they were the
only thing that .would benefit her.
" I procured a couple of boxes of the pills,
and found that their use helped her con
siderably. She kept on taking them till she
used about a dozen boxes, with the result
that she was entirely well, and since then
there has been no symptoms whatever, of her
old trouble. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
certainly a wonderful medicine, which did a
wonderful good in Clara's case, doiiiftwhat
several physicians failed to accomplish."
All the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shatter
ed nerves are contained, in a condensed
form, in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. They are also a specific for trou
bles peculiar to females, such as suppres
sions, irregularities and all forms of weak
ness. In men they effect a radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
Dr. Williams'Pink Pills are sold in boxes
t never in loose bulk) at 60 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all drug
