SCHLEY TO THE FRO XT.
Governor Lowndes. Senator AVell
ington. Mayor Malster of Baltimore
and General Felix Angus called on
the president esterday, and formal
ly protested against the assignment
of Admiral Sibley to command tbe
South Atlantic station, on tbe ground
that it was not commensurate with
his dignity and the services he had
rendered during the Spanish-American
war.
The Spokesman-Review says: It
is hoped that the president will ignore
this protest, and inform the Maryland
delegation that "pull" is no longer
recognized tn tbe army or navy, and
that if Schley is designated for the
South Atlantic squadron be must go
there.
It is perhaps right that a woithy
officer in the artr.y and navy should
be given a detail that is congenial,
but if this work of assignment is to
be superintended by outside friends
who bare influence, tbe secretaries
of war and the navy might as well
relinquish their portfolios. One of
the gravest chargts brought against
the administration duiing the war
was favoritism. The rrnpression
seemed to be that important com
mands were to be distributed ac
cording to the influence behind the
applicants. The result is that if a
man doesn't like his job he asks his
friends to object, and there is a
transfer.
This lack of firmness and disposi
tion to placate has been the cause of
nearly all the army and navy troubles
during the past few years. Men
who have pressure behind them get
the good places, and others equally
deserving are given the undesirable
details. Thus it happens that Joe
Wheeler, who lus not been given a
conspicuous place at the Philippines,
whines nboiH being ignored, and
asks to be sent home.
It will be a good thing for the
service if Schley is sent where his
friends say he should not be sent.
Public flattery leads many good of
ficers to believe that tbey arc as
important in the public estimation
as in their own, and it will be a good
idea to bring them to a realizing
sense of their mistake. Above all,
it is desirable that the departments
be run by their heads, and not by
be satisfied, and they desire tbe
matter to rest and be forgotten.
Hence there was no ditliculty or
danger in the government's way in
tbe matter of issuing a pardon.
In the eyes of all the world it is,
to all practical intents and purposes,
40 j an acquittal. The military court had
ri to go tbrougn tbe form or convicting
Dreyfus in order to forestall further
investigation and uphold the army
chiefs; that done, it is practically
cenceded that Dreyfus is really in
nocent, and he is turned loose. This
is a queer sample of justice, but it is
the best that could bo devised from
the French point of view. Dreyfus
will be wise if be shakes the dust of
France from his feet and seeks em
ployment in some other country-, for
in none will he be regarded as guilty
of the crime of which be was convicted.

A FARMER'S MOX Hf.
September, for the past two weeks,
lias made up splendidly for the un
propitious August, say s the Telegram.
Jo far it has been a month to make
(be farmers hearts rejoice. Out of
tbe nettle danger they are plucking
the flower safety. Instead of con
templating imminent failure, thev
are reaping success; instead ot suffer
ing what seemed inevitable loss, they
are gathering and storing golden
gains. Their prospects have cleared
ip with the sky and the atmosphere.
Just now they are tired, but they are
happy. With another week or two
of this glorious September summer
weather, tbey will be ready to laugh
at rains and winds. They will have
secured at '.east the. greater part of
an average crop, ami their fields and
pastures are in line condition for fall
utilization. Behold how brief a spell
of Dne weather it takes to make Ore
gon a piradise.
THE PARDON OF DREYFUS.
Tbe Pardon of Dreyfus must be
chiefly attributed to the influence of
the commercial spirit of France, and
specially of Paris, says the Tele,
gum. The intimations that civilized
countries all over the world might
keep away from the Paris exposition
next year sobered even the generals.
The u they and Dreyfus' judges,
knowing their case ngalnst him was
not proven, were willing that he
should be pardoned; doubtless rec
ommended It; becnuse h's formal
conviction was their formal acquaint.
ar.ee, with .which they were fain to
The work of parleying with
Aguinaldo has ended, say a tbe Globe
Democrat. Tbe head of the Philip
pine commission is in the United
States, and tbe rest of the members
ot that body have been ordered to
return to this country. This course
of the administration is somewhat
different from what the commission
expected. Preparations had been
made by its members for a stay in
the islands of several months longer
at least, but this order cuts that pro
gram short. All tbe commissioners
on the islands will be on the road
borne in a few days, and the business
of dealing with the rebels will be left
to the army alone.
This disposition of things will
give entire satisfaction to the people
of the United States. The com
mission learned something of the
conditions in tbe inlands. It had
interviews with Aguinaldo's chief
emissaries, talked with representative
Filipinos who are not connected with
the rebellion, went around among
the principal foreign residents of the
Luzon, and doubtless made a etudy
of the economic nnd social conditions
in the islands, at least in a rudimentary-way.
The information which
it has grimed will probably be of
some service to the administration
and to congress. It will all be spread
before the people in some shape, and
add a little to the popular knowledge
of the situation.
But the commission did nothing
toward hastening the end of the war.
It piobably, on the other hand,
lengthened the war, for the FilipiLos,
like all Orientals, are apt to look at
concessions, explanations and inter
cessions as a sign ot weakness and
fear on the part of the persons or
people making them. When the
commission was sent out to the
inlands Aguinaldo doubtless felt that
the Americans were ready to sur
render and leave the archipelago.
This delusion was probably strength
ened by the patience with which the
commission paltered with Aguinaldo's
representatives, and by the ease with
which it was deluded by their pre
tentions and promises.
During tbe time in which all this
palvering was going on the move
ments of Otis' army were necessarily
suspended, and Aguinaldo had time
to rally bis scattered and disjnrited
followers. Thus the commission did.
unintentionally and unconsciously, a
good deal of harm to the American
cause. Tbe administration, of course,
is not to blame for this Oasco of the
commissioners. Tbe situation was
new, and Americans never h:id any
extensive dealings with Orientals
under those conditions along to that
time. The experience will not be
lost on the government. Meanwhile
the ostensible peacemakers will be
out of the way, and the real pacifica
tors, tbe array of Gen. Otis, will
have a free hand. Dark days will
J open for Aguinaldo, nnd also for the
I Agulnuldists in the United States, as
soon ns the campaigning season
begins a few weeks hence, ami the
order for the general advance goes
expensive institution. It is not a
luxury, but a yearly Increasing neces
sity. Tbe increase of our navy has
been rapid in recent years, and its
cost has been enormous. Yet it has
been worth all that it has cost, as tbe
events of last year fully proved.
This is no doubt the verdict of tbe
American people, including tbe
coterie of "antis" that formed a
mutual admiration society with bead
quarters at Boston. The best public
judgment will no doubt also favor
the completion of the vessels now
under way with tbe best materials
tbat can be obtained. Whatever
may be the popular verdict In re
gard to creating a large standing
army, tbe necessity of maintaining a
first-class navy is acknowledged on
all bands. Oregonian.
Governor Rogers of Washington
describes "the laborer" as "the man
who works with his hands," and em
phasizes it by declaring that "manual
labor is the only labor." There are
times when we re forced to believe
tbat the grey matter in Governor
Rogers' head is the poorest kind of
slush. Mental labor is as important
and as productive to men as manual
labor. A shortage in mentality is
considered more of a loss to a laborer
than a physical deficiency, says the !
EastOregonian.

closes a forged certified check and a deed
to some land. The letter further ttutes
that a client of the writer is expecting

tbe deed from Winders, and asks the
lawyer to make the best trade possible
and close the deal.
Winders soon appears before the at

He sgrees to sell the land at a slight

Authoritative Statement From State
Department Decision of the Span
ish Cabinet Tbat Interest on Cu
ban Bonds Must Be Paid by Cuba
Is without Force or Effect.
New Yobk, Sept. 21. A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: Tne decision by the Spanish
cabinet that the interest on tbe Cuban
bonds must be paid by tbe Cuban gov
ernment is a virtual announcement tbat
Spain will not pay the interest, and that
the bonds are valueless. Involved in
ill's announcement Is the condition that
there may be an attempt to entangle
congress in a discussion of the respon
sibility of the United States for the in
terest during the American occupation
of the island. The action of the Spanish
cabinet was referred to the state depart
ment, from w hich the follow ing authori
tative statement was obtained :
"The United States coxraissioners at
Paris never at any time or in any degree
agreed that the United States should be
responsible for Spain's X-'uban debt.
There never was any understanding that
any other party should be responsible
for that dol t than Spain herself. The
reason the United States did not assume
the debt or any p.trt of it was that the
debt was incurred almost w holly by
Spain to crush the several insurrections.
The United States might have assumed
to guarantee this debt if the funds named
had been expanded in internal improve
ments in Cuba. This g ivernment, as
is well known, consented to pay Spain
$20,000,000 in the case of the Philippine
islands, solely on the ground that ap
proximately that amount had been ex
panded by Spain in Improvements in
the islands.
"The United Slates therefore had as
sumed no obligations for and has no in
terest whatever in the declarations of
the Spanish cabinet on the debts of Spain
or how they shall be paid. The present
declarstion looks like a repudiation of
the debt, principal and interest.
The state department argues that when
Spain relinquished her sovereignty in
Cuba she relieved that island of debts
contracted to keep her in bondage. This
construction, it is held, is affirmed in
the notes which passed between the two
disputing commissions when the treaty
was under discussion in Paris.
Story or m Slave.
To be bound band and foot for years
by the chains of disease Is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich., tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless tor five years
that she could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, sheis wonderfully improved and
able to do her own work." This supreme
remedy for female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
headache, backache, fainting and diziy
spells. This miracle working medicine
is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
