SIMON .SENATOR.
Last nigbt at Ihe state capital the
Republican members met in caucus,
after beins advised that Mr. Corbett
had withdrawn, and selected Hon
Joseph Simon astheDominee for sen
ator. and todav his nomination was
ratified.
While The Chronicle would have
preferred a man less identified with
one faction, yet it believes that his
selection is much preferable to any
other man of that faction. He is a
young man and a tireless woiker. He
can unite the Republican rarty of
Oregon. This paper'believes that he
will.
EXPANSION IN THE A IB.
Tuinwhere one will, the index fin
ger of current thought points to ex
pansion. It seems to be as pervasive
as the air. If manufacturers get to
gether to confer on their interests the
conference turns to the propaganda
of expansion. If churchmen convene
to consider religions matters their
thoughts reach out to Cuba and the
Philippines. Wherever men gather,
east or west, tor secular or religious
purposes, their utterances are echoes
of Dewey's May day guns.
The latest instance in point oc
curred at Washington Wednesday.
The triennial convention of the Epis
copal church in America was opened
with a sermon from Bishop Tuttle, of
St. Louis. The text itself was deep
ly significant. It was a glowing pas
sage from the chief of prophets,
Isaiah, beginning with ''Enlarge the
place of thy tent," and closing with
the exhortation "Lengthen thy cords
and strengthen thy stakes." The
sermon, was by no means a political
address, but it was an application to
the church and its mission of the les
son taught by the war which has
made the United States one of the
: great powers in the east
Bishop Tuttle sees in the war and
uts results the hand of Providence,
.and he emphasized the obligation of
Ike church to enter upon the new
field of evangelization. He held that
the new opportunities should not ap
peal to commerce alone. New mar
kets have been opened for the bread
cf lite, no less than for the wares of
pur skilled industry, and church as
well as state must lengthen the cords
of its tent and strengthen its stakes.
The imperialism of Bishop Tuttle
is all the more significant because a
few days ago another high dignitary
of the same church, ' Bishop Potter,
took the opposite attitude. The
bishop of New York made a campaign
speech indorsing the present position
of ihe Democratic party. He warned
his hearers against expansion instead
of giving it recognition as a religious
duty. The rebuke administered by
the bishop of St. Louis was all the
more notable tor being impersonal.
It furnishes another sure sign of the
direction in which the great current
of American thought is flowing. The
few obstacles interposed by reaction
aries serve onty to make more obvi
ous the direction of the stream. No
public man, whatever his religion or
politics, can expect to stem the rush
ing waters. The current of public
opinion is not to be turned back.
With business and religion going one
way, all else is bound to follow.
When those two interests have a
madness for any government to
ignore it. Inter-Ocean.
THE PARIS COMMISSION.
It does not yet appear just what
Spam will hold out for in the treaty
deliberations about to begin in Pans.
Rumors from Madrid indicate that at
the outset the Spanish commissioners
will contend for continued sover
eignty over the Philippines and for
certain conditions regarding the Cu
ban debt. It is natural that the Span
ish represeniatives should propose
larger concessions than they expect
to get. The chief Spanish desire, and
the same purpose was manifested
throughout the war, is to introduce
European complications. No one
doubts that certain nations of Europe
would be glad to secure a footing at
the Philippines, and nothing would
be more grateful to Spanish diplo
macy than to use this feeling to our
disadvantage. As for the Cuban
debt, a large number of European in
vestors hope that it will not be a
total loss and that at least a partial
provision for it wi'l be made in the
treaty. Some pressure from this
source will be exercised chiefly at
Madrid, and may have considerable
influence there. A debt also hangs
over the Philippines, and Spain will
make the most of it if compelled to
give up all or a part of the group.
The Eastern possessions are evident
ly the main Spanish reliance for sav
ing something from the wreck.
A moment's thought is enough to
show that further Spanish sovereignty
in the Philippines is impossible. The
insurgents would at once take posses
sion if the United States withdrew,
Aguinaldo and his followers would be
irrepressible. They have arms and
are now experienced soldiers. Sover
eignty for Spain would be continued
war conducted at great expense. A
strong navy for distant service would
be necessary. Taking into view the
financial condition of Spain, the only
reasonable view is that the Philip
pines would be sold to a European
power. This fact reduces the situa
tion at the Philippines to a financial
fooling of some kind, and probably
the question will speedily take this
form at Paris. France would be
preferred bidder, and so would Ger
many. But no door is open by which
they can enter. This country is
treating with Spain alone and as
sumes Ihroushout that the latter is a
conquered nation. We shall retain
a primiry hold on the whole of the
Philippines, and upon that basis Spain
must make the best bargain it can,
dealing with us exclusively.
The Cuban debt is such an enorm
ity that it can have but little stand
ing even for discussion. In 1886 the
first Cuban bonds were issued to the
extent of $ 124,000,000, at 6 per cent
interest. They were guaranteed by
a lien on Cuban customs, by all the
revenues of the island, and, finally,
ly the Spanish treasury. In 1890
bonds amounting to $175,000,000, at
5 per sent, with similar guarantees,
were sold. Nearly the whole amount,
or $290,000,000, is outstanding.
These bond3 are the result in part of
the former insurrection, though an
tedating the last revolt by from five
to nine years. During the last strug
gle with insurgents' $160,000,000
more "Cuban bonds" were disposed
of, forming a total of $450,000,000.
The third loan was maie a lien on
Spanish customs also. On January 1st
last there was a floating Cuban debt
of $75,000,000. It would take near
ly $600,000,000 to clear off the debt
Spain has piled up against Cuba. A
dispatch from Madrid says the Span
ish government will undeitake to
carry out the guarantees of the Cu
ban debt only until the island itselt
is in a position to assume the obliga
tions. That time will never come.
The debt is so huge that it proclaims
its own absurdity as a burden for the
Cuban people.
Twelve thousand Mausers have ar
rived at the Springfield (Mass.)
armory and been stored for future
emergencies. They will serve to re
mind Americans that even a nation
like Spain can get ahead of us in
p oviding guns and powder. -
In two or three months the new
battleships Kearsargc and Kentucky
will be ready to take the place . in the
Atlantic fleets left vacant by the
Oregon and the Iowa. Continued
expansion in the American navy is a
settled matter. .
Tbe Spanish were astonished by
the results of the war, and are now
reported to be stupefied by the pro
posed conditions of peace. A little
common sense would have saved
Spain from this excessive emotion.
Mr. Fulton's recent speech in the
senate, in opposition to Selling, of
Multnomah, who had opposed an ap
propriation for an examination of
the Columbia river to ascertain the
brsi means of opening the same,
characterize him as a friend of an
open river, regardless of reports that
all Astonaus were opposing appro
priations, looking to improvements
of the river and the removal of the
obstructions at Celilo.
It might be well before General
Blanco deports from Cuba to invite
him to participate in a game of foat
ball. He was disappointed about
fighting and is entitled to a little
vigorous American recreation.
DISSERTATION ON ROADS.
That in. Wo Thought We Would
Coulilu't Without We Could,
Cunlii V?
Tiie last resort cf a newspaper reporter
when items are scarce is generally the
condition of ttie Eidewalks or streets, and
we usually give tbe city marshal or the
council a few suggestions as to the best
method of running the city. This time
is sn exception, and we will not tiention
the nails in the sidewalk, for tbe injury
such notice might do the shoe dealers;
nor the fact that the street eprinkler
might with propriety be in nse, tor if
the dust were laid our physicians would
have fewer patients troubled with throat
difficulties. This time we will give the
streeta a rest and take to the "roads."
Anyone who has ever attempted to
drive a stranger in our city over the
boulevard on Ninth street, extending
from the old Mission gardens to Union
street, must certainly have felt a thrill
of pride in our well-paved roads, so we
will refrain from speaking on that ; nor
will we bint at the beautiful drive from
Mill creek bridge to Stadleman't) place;
nor of the pleasure which may he de
rived from sailing over the smooth sur
face of the drive from the top of the
brewery grade to the spot in Thorn p
son's addition where may be seen one of
the grandest views along the Co
lumbia river, and where we can scarcely
refrain from taking eight-scers. Over
this road our visitors from the cmntrr
also enjoy traveling. So delightful is the
sensation when "climbing np tbe golden
stairs in an attempt to reach any part
of the hill, that we fail to see where any
comment can be made aa to the state of
those roads.
Come to consider it, a good item is
spoiled, for how can we attack a subject
so hard to get around ; so full of knotty
problems; eo rocky? We cannot get
over it nor around it. Therefore we give
it up.
NATIVE SONS OF OREGON.
Trevitt Cabin Organized Its Officers
Katlye Sons Meeting at Ihe
Exposition.
Saturday night, npon the occasion of
cf tbe visit of Hon. J. C. Leasure, Eu
gene D. White, J. W. Minto, and Sol
Blumauer, an enthusiastic meeting was
held, and we now have the second cabin
of tbe Native Sons of Oregon organized
in the state, in The Dailes. The cabin
took the name of one of the pioneer res
idents of our city, Trevitt. About twenty-
five native sons gave in their names and
were instructed in the work. This-is not,
from an individual standpoint, a bene
ficiary order, but directly benefits our
state by tbe lessons of patriotism and
the interest engendered regarding any
thing that pertains to Oregon.
The following were chosen as officers :
G. C. Blakeley, president ; Frank Mene
fee, first vice-president; H. H. Biddell,
second vice; A. D. McCally, financial
secretary; Vic Marden, recording secre
tary; J. A. Douthit, past president, C.
M. Grimes, treasurer. . -
It is expected soon to organize a ladies'
auxiliary to this order. All ladies
sweet sixteen" and over are eligible to
membership. The requisite age being
chosen as young as sixteen will include
many ladies. who could not otherwise
have joined.
A Clever Trick;
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones np the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cores
constipation, headache, fainting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. It is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at
Blakeley & Houghton's drug etore. 3

How R
Came
This is the sequel of a terrible calamity which
affected many sections of the country some years ago.
A host of victims suffered disease and death. The
survivors have now a new reason to rejoice.
About seven years ago the La Grippe
visited various sections of the country
in its deadly might scattering disease and
death among its hosts of victims.
Most of those afflicted who escaped
death then, have lived on in suffering,
broken in health and ambition; for the
after-effects of this disease are dangerous,
A large portion of the survivors nave a
feeling of oppression in the chest.
A little exertion causes a violent action
of the heart, described as "palpitation."
There is mental anxiety, depression,
fclueness of the skin, indicating impaired
circulation of the blood.
The sluggishness of its circulation im
pairs the functions of most of the organs ;
the stomach and intestines fail to perform
their work, while the appetite and diges
tion become seriously affected.
This complaint has baffled eminent
physicians and exhausted the results of
pharmacopoeia.
Recently, however, a means for a cure
has been obtained.
Among those who have been restored to
health by it is Herman H. Eveler, of 811
W. Main Street, Jefferson, Mo, a resident
of that city for thirty-eight years, well
known as a successful contractor.
He was one of the victims of the
"Grippe" seven years ago and has since
been troubled with its after-effects.
" That he lives to-day," he says, "is
due to a remarkable occurrence.
44 1 was taken with a malady just after the
"Grippe "visited this section and caused to

many fatalities about seven years ago,
"I was troubled with shortness of breath,
palpitation of the heart and a general de
bility. My back also pained me severely.
"I tried different doctors and carefully
followed their directions, but no benefit
was apparent, I used numerous remedies
that were highly recommended but no
satisfactory results were obtained.
'"1 began to give up all hope of receiving
relief. My condition was deplorable.
"In reading a St. Louis newspaper I
noticed an article extolling Dr. 'Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People.
"After making inquiries regarding them
I concluded to give the pills a thorough trial.
" I used the first box and was wonderfully
relieved,
" I bought two more boxes and continued
taking them.
"A marked improvement was soon
noticeable the shortness of breath, the pal
pitation of my heart and kindred ailments
began to abate.
"After taking four boxes of these pills, I
was restored to good health.
" I feel like a new man now, and can trans
act my business with increased ambition."
To add strength to his story Mr. Eveler
made affidavit before Notary Public Adam
Poutsxong and he will gladly answer in
quiries to those enclosing stamp for reply.
The reason that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People are helpful in such cases as
this, is that they are composed of vegetable
remedies which act directly on the impure
blood, the foundation of disease.
