Cue of the ablest papers in Ilsvana
makes a striking comment on the
quiet but eoniptchcnsivo changes
goiu on throughout tie inland.
Natives and old residents padually I
realize that they are living in a uew
world. Sjjanlsli colonial habits of
thought are vanishing with Spanish
conditions. Old restrictions and tra
ditions are swept away and the
Cubans find themselves treated like
reasonable beings instead of mere
vassals han)ered on all sides by
arbitrary rule ai.d kepi in subjection
by a big army and ever ready dun
geons. The Havana editor reftis to
former times when efforts at reform
produced a great rhetorical none
through the newspapers and oratois,
but eventually came to nothing. On
the other hand, snys this tliough'.ful
observer, "in these days of fruitful,
thotiph silent woik," radical reforms
aie accomj lirhed quickly and surety.
'An order of sis lines, with a very
short preamble." he continues, "will
represent some bold and beneficent"
measure. I might say that for us a
thin sheet of piper separates the me
diaeval world from the nineteenth
century, ami ofteutiines the writing
is not icdiponsable .to enable us to
pass frcni darkness to light."
That is well and graphically stated.
The era of doing nothing, with a
great flood of stilted and insincere
language, has passed away in
Cuba. In most of the newspapers
of the island there is still
a needless amount of high-flown
diction and emotionalism, but prac
tical requirements and influences will
correct this in time. Manv of tbe
features of Cuba's new birlb can be
traced in an article by Gen. Leonard
Wood, commanding in tbe Province
-of Santiago, in the May North Amer
ican Review. The people are taking
a deep interest in school affairs. They
are anxious to learn, and tbe pupil.
In the little schools are enthusiastic,
The Cubans appreciate tbe improved
postsi facilities organized by the
L m ted States. Gen. Wood says the
' people are anxious to work and he
Las no fear of general brigandage
He advises "a Brm but liberal and
just government of the people, for
Ibe people, under American military
supei vision for tbe time being;" with
a minimum of Americans in civil
office and not too much centraliza
tion of affairs in Havana.
Santiago province bas been self
sustained since last October, not only
paying tbe cost of official service,
courts and schools, but furnishing
rands for roads and other public
works, and a surplus of $250,000 for
sanitary improvements in the city
and harbor. Generil Wood believes
that the present revenues of the
island are sufficient for iu needs, in
cluding IU charities. He sees no
necessity for a large army in Cuba.
A mounted force of 250 native
policemen is sufficient in the province
bo commands. Of course', the marks
of devastation are found on every
band and immense labor will be re
quired to rebuild inland towns and
villages and restore roads, bridges
and facilities for transportation and
communication. No probable date
is named by Gen. Wood for the
formation of the future government
which be believes the people capable
of conducting after pacification is
attained. Tbe crucial point of tbe
question will come when the Cubans
undertnke to shape their government
and adjust provincial differences and
Jealousies.
assurance to aspire to tho position
while Mr. Heed was iu the h' ue,
aud his overtowermg powers of lead
ership and remarkably strong person,
ality have been enough to re-elect
him presidiug officer without any
serious show of opposition. Hi
withdrawal from public life left a
free Meld with no one candidate
possessing any especial advantage
over any other, and so early n settle
ment of the question, niih so many
aypirants iu the Hold, was Imrd.'y
anticipated.
The question of sectional lines has
never been a matter of serious con
troversy latterly in connection with
the choice of a speaker, the honor
having fallen in neatly every instance
to an acknowledged party leader.
Out of thirteen speakers in the last
fifty years, eight have repicscntcd
states on the Atlantic sea board.!
They eie Cobb and Crisp of
Georgia, Blaine and Reed of Maine,
Hanks of Massachusetts, Orr of South
Carolina, Pennington of New Jersey
and Randall of Pennsylvania. Speak
ers from west of the Allcchcnv
mountains were Boyd and Carlisle ot
Kentucky, Colfax and Kerr of Indi
ana, and Keifer cf Ohio.
Colonel llendeison is lerhaps as
well qualified for the speakership ns

nection with it, and, in visw of the
importance of some present day
questions, the choice of the Western
man is uot out cf place. lie bas

sixteen years' experience, and, rd
though he.has to follow in tjic foot
steps of one of the few remarkable
men of his lime, hi career as shaker
is not unlikely to !e acceptable to
his paity, the country ami himself.
Colonel Henderson is not a masterful
character like Mr. Reed, and he has
never shown that he possesses the
intellect, force, courage and unique
qualities of leadership such as htve
distinguished the man from Maine.
But for all that it is reasonably safe
to predict that he will be an eminent

The Times-Mountaineer says the
proposition to establish a fruit evap
orator in The Dalles is "meeting with
soch encouragement that it is almost
hn assured fact." Pcrheps our Bunch-
grass contemporary would be in
terested to know that In tho jountry
surrounding Salem there is a fruit
evaporator on nearly every other
farm. Some of them are large ones,
too, and capable of taking care of
enormous quantities of fruit. Yet it
was only a few years ago that Salem
put up her first evaporator, and mad
great "to do" about it. If you
raise fruit up there, you must have
evaporators to save it from wasting

people ot this city a fact hu ll was nut
little surpriiiuit and canned much com

gon's Insane dead receive at the hand
of that Institution. When officer of
null au institution ura appointed to
those positions tle stale naturally sup
poses that they are possessed bt at least
human instincts, which not onlv lend
them to cure carefully for the living,
but Ui see that the unfortunate dead r- !
ceive at I met the tueagcrcat attention
and a decent burial. Such it would
seem is not the case; at least In one in
stance it lias not been so.
Karly Sn inlay morning Linra Donald
son, who was committed from The
Dalles about a year ago, committed
suicide In that institution by tearing her
uiglil gown in strip and making a ro
out of the same, which she fastened to
thewiudiw guard, tieJ the other end
about Iter neck, and laying down upon
tlie floor, clmaked herself.

telling thi ui to ship the body to this

kuow not hat is considered the duty ol
the statu in such cte, but tnrc-ly it

in the instance of the yours lady

body frjin shakin, about. Worse than
all, the proper cio'.hing had not been put
on the body, a night gown being the
only garment of clothing, and her hair
seemingly had not been comled for
some time, and bung over her fate. la
fact her friends were not permitted to
see her until a robe had been substi
tuted and she had been placed in a neat
coffin.

Muring the past few months the
Ciikonicls bas called attention to the
'act that there Is a class of girls, be.
tween the ages of 14s and 20, 0 The
Dalles, who are seriously In need of
l-arental control, or, if not that, more
severe measures should he nsed, as their
actions are such as wilt snrelv ranae
them to come to grief. Seemingly hav
ing no homes, they can be fonnd at any
hour of tbe day or night walking ths
streets, and particularly numerous do
they make themselves when an excur
sion or theatrical troupe visits the city,
pparently deeming It necessary to make
the male portion of the aggregation feel
at home. Not only has the naner called
the attention of parents to this fact, bat
we understand the teachers In oar
schools have endeavored to do their duty
la the matter, bat to no avail.
When the Noble Dramatic Company
Visited tbe elty this was particularly
noticeable and the Chboxicli mentioned
tbe fact when they left town, little
dreaming to what an extent these flirts

developments of the psst few days havs

the better class of people have watched

daring to approach the parents, who

families where such things might be
expected, bnt in respectable families
that tbeee things occur.
