PEACE-MAKERS OF KALAMAZOO
From Michigan comes ihe grave
announcement that leaders of the
pro-Boer movement are arranging
a confeicnce ir. Detroit, wiih a view
to preparing the way for mediation
and arbitration. The source and
the spirit make the movement absurd.
It is as though a number of rabid
Spanish sympathizers in France
should have started an intervention
movement during our war with
Spain. Our leply would have been
that we were not ready for interven
tion; when we were ready we would
invite it; and mediation from that
source was not desired anyway
vide! he knoweth when to clip in l.is
car. This is not an opportune
moment for meddling peacc-ma!sii)2.
From the Transvaal came the decla-
ration of war, and presumably the i
Locr government made it advisedly. ;
At all events, when it wants media
tion it will invite it.
Upon the other hand, the British
are determined, looking at the con
test fiom tLeir point of view, that
the war shall continue until the
bravery of their soldiers and the
sagacity of their generals have been
vindicated, and they shall bare
tangible results for their losses of
men and treasure. There is scarcely
a doubt that the following utterance,
made recently in parliament by Mr.
Balfour on behalf of the government,
voices the convictions of an over
whelming majority of Englishmen:
'Being absolutely determined that
this war shall be driven to a success
ful issue, and by a successful issue is
not meant any suzerainty, any
shadowy supremacy in South Africa,
but the real, substantial supremacy
of Great Britain over all these
regions. And as we snail never
advise peace until the 'war has
brought forth its legitimate fruit?,
so we believe that, in spite of any
ambiguity of utterance from any
quarter of the other side of the
house, the country wilt insist that
the ministers who serve it, be they
drawn from one side of the bouse
or from the other, will see not only
that the military honor of this
country is amply vindicated, but
that we leave in South Africa no
root from which again may spring
forth any of the bitter and poison
ous fruits from which for so many
years we have been suffering."
The United States government will
not intervene until it Las been asked,
and the asking must come from
Pretoria or London, not Detroit or
Kalamazoo. Spokesman-Review.
VAPE SOME'S GOLDEX SAXVS
Another batch of stories describ
ing the wonderful riches of the beach
diggings at Cape Nome have been
given. wide circulation. They will
be the means of attracting hundreds
of men to that barren region. It
will be well to in a measure discount
some of the tales brought out by the
latest arrivals from Dawson. Cape
Nome undoubtedly will yield gold
in paying quantities for several years
to come and will make fortunes for
a small portion of those who brave
the discomforts of an Arctic climate.
Men will accumulate wealth in busi
ness ventures and the transportation
companies will reap a rich harvest
while the excitement lasts. But
placer mining like that at Cape Nome
Is soon played out, and the pay
ctreaks are limited. In no measure
does it approach the permanency of
quariz mining. There ate difficulties
with the government to be over
come, because already a dispute has
arisen as to the ownership of the
locations and the validity of record
Ing. Prudence therefore suggests
that the man who goes into Cape
Nome carry with him enough money
to pay his steamer passage back, and
it would not be a bad move on the

that evidence be given that the in
prospector will not be stranded in an
inhospitable region if he fails to 6nd
employment. This regulation was
enforced in the latter days of the
Klondike excitement, when Canadian
officials had learned that they could
not take care of the penniless ad
venturers who flocked to the Klon
dike metropolis.
Fortunately Cape N'omo is on the
seacoast and the journey does not
include perilous travehug over
dangeious mountains and through
swift rivers. If you are determined
to go to Cape Nome, provide your
self with a return ticket, and there
will be no call later in the year for
a government relief expedition, ns
was the case with the other Yukon
excitement. Spokesman-Review.
COXVEXTIOXS OF 1S: AXD 1WO
The order in which the national
conventions of the two great parties
are to be held in 1900 is the same as
it was in 18'.G, and the dates at I expires, the interest, of course,
which they are to lake place will ' be : Laving been paid according to agree
ne:ily the same as at that time. The;raent. lobe sure, things may be
! Kenubllean convention root earlier
' tL:in the Democratic four years ago,
i and will meet earlier this 3 car, but
! the interval of time separating the
j two gathtiings will be about six days
suorter tuan 11 was men. 1 ue ue-
publican convention of ISM opened
in St. Louis on June 1G, while the
Democratic national gathering began
in Chicago on Jul) 7. This year the
Republicans will meet in Philadelphia
cu June 19, and the Democrats will
convene in Kansas City on July 4,
the Republicans coming together
three days later in the year than they
did four years ago and the Democrats
three days eailier thn they did
then.
It is not probable, however, that
either convention will be as interest
ing in 1900 as it was in 1890. In
the Republican gathering there will
be no contest on the presidential
candidate this year, Mr. McKlnley's
nomination by acclamation being 1
assured. Probably there will be
, ......
only one name mentioned in the
Democratic convention also, Mr.
Bryan's nomination being practically
certain by an overwhelming majority
or by a unanimous vote. These
elements of uncertainty being re
moved, it will not be possible to
invest the gatherings this year with
the interest which those of four years
ago had. There will be no "walk
outs" in either convention this year,
while there was a split in all the
parties, small and great, in 1896. A
split is practically assured in the
Populist party, of course, as the
rnpture in the conference the other
day of the Populist National Com
mittee in Lincoln, Neb., sli9ws a
division in that party which can
hardly be closed up at the national
gatherings of the two wings which
take place on Msy 9, one of them in
Cincinnati and the other in Sioux
Falls, S. D.
A new issue will be before the
conventions of 1900, that of national
expansion, and this fact will give an
interest to the gatherings of the big
parties, but it will not call out any
thing like the concern which was felt
regarding the silver declaration of
both these parties in 1896. The Re
publicans will declare for expansion
by a practically unanimous vote.
Nobody in the Philadelphia conven
tion will lead a revolt against any
thing which will come up in that
body like the one which Teller and
Cannon directed in the St. Louis
gathering four years ago. The gold
standard will be unanimously and
emphatically indorsed in Philadel
phia. There is some doubt as to
the deliverance which the Democrats
will make on the expansion question,
as a large ingredient of their party
favors the policy to which the ad
ministration and the Republicans are
committed. This question will prob
ably be straddled, as the tariff used
to be in Democratic conventions.
Whether straddled or not, however.
there is not the faintest chance that
there will be a bolt in the convention
on that question, as all Democrats,
"anti imperialists" and "imperialists"
know that the Philippines and Puerto
Rico will be retained and that the
Republican idea will prevail. There
will be no cyclones in the conventions
of 1500 like those which Teller
caused in St. Louis and Bryan raised
Chicago. Nevertheless those
gatherings will be historic, and will
attract the attention of the whole
country.
The Farm Journal lately asked
a series of questions, which are
summed op as follows: "'by have
a mortgage on the farm, an empty
pocket, and a skeleton in the house?"
There might be a good reason for
putting a mortgage on the farm, says
the Oregonian. Many a sagacious
roan borrows money with a specific
purpose, the result of which justify
bis action. But with good health
and willing bands there is no reason
why the mottgage should not be paid
off. There Is too much of a tend
ency to regard the holder of a
mortgage as an oppressor, anxious to
swoop down upon and take the farm,
whereas it is probable that the ac
commodation was eagerly sought and
that the lender would be very glad
to receive bis money instead of the
land when the term of the mortgage
manased so that the mort2a;;e will
'become a skeleton in the house that
1 will crowd the inmates out; but, as
, the records show, thousands of
mortgages canceled within the past
few years in every ngricimurai sec-
tion of the country proves this result
is not necessary. Farmers as a class
very f roperly resent as an imperti
nence the effusive pity that talks to
tbem of "empty pockets" and other
matters of private business, as they
feel abundantly able to take care of
themselves.
Col. F. TTarker's Walla Walla
Statesman, which has been a stanch
Democratic paper for pcrtaps a
quarter of a century, says: "Iris
not only the right, but it is the duly
of the government of the United
States to hold every inch of the
Philippines until time shall be no
more, and to give to their inhabitants
l the blessings and freedom of Ameri
r o r lava on) inct !l nlinna Va
, ,
lieving, the Statesman does not for
e
an instant give its adhesion to those
Democrats who would have the grand
old party go back on the doctrine of
expansion, promulgated by Jefferson
and carried out by him, despite his
belief that there was no direct war
rant in the constitution tor the
greatest act of his life, the purchase
of Louisiana, and the government of
its inhabitants without Orst obtaining
their consent." A large number of
Democrats in this country feel Just
this way.
Mora Woolen Mllla Needed.
Portland is trying to se.-ure new in
dustries within her gates. She ndro
eated a wool-scouring: mill and made a
hard fight for it but The Dalles offered
the best inducements, so "to the victor
belongs the spoils." Now Portland is
agitating the advleibility of securing a
woolen mill which would Le a fine thing
for the city on the Willamette. It
wonld be well for Dalles people to bear
io mind that in conjunction with a
icon ring mill, a woolen mill would be
of great value at this place. An editor
ial in ibe Telegram relative to the mat
ter says :
"The Albany woolen mills are run
ning night and day, and can't keep op
with orders. Much the same condition
exists in other woolen mills of the state.
The demand for Oregon-made woolen
fabrics far exceeds the supply. What
possible reason can there be, then, for
any long delay in establishing woolen
mill at Portland?" And we say why
not establish it at The Dalles?
HI Life Waa saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says: "I was taken with
Typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.

weak I conld'nt even sit np in bed.
Nothing helped rue. I expected to soon
die of consumption, when I heard of
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
gavo great relief. I continued to, use it,
and now am well and strong. I can't
say too much in its praise." This

TITLE OF NEW TRAIN ARRANGED
BY THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
It Will Carre aa Obaarvalloa Car Ba

Madara Improvement.
General Passenger Agent Charleses.
Fee, of the Northern Pacific railway,
who reached Portland Thursday, an
nounced that April 29 his company will
establish a double daily passenger train
service between Portland, Puget Sound
and the twin cities, St. Paal and Min
neapolis. The morning train from St. Paul will
leave at 8.5), after the arrival of the fast
trains from Chicago, St. Louis acd the
East, running by the way of Butte,
inJ will reach Portland at 7 a. m. The
corresponding train ill leave Portland
at 11 :30 a. m. by the way of B ltte, and
will reach St. Paul at 3 p. m. acd mill
be known as the"Norih Coast Limited."
Train No. 3 will leave St. Paul as at
present, 10:35 p. in., arriving at Fin
land at 8 p. 111. Train No. 4 will leave
Portland at 11 :39 p. m. and arrive at Si.
Paul at 7 .45 a. ni. Both 3 and 4 will
run by way of Helena. This schedule
will continue in effect until November 1 ,
and longer if the buinets jassifiea it.
Trains 3 and 4 will carry theeame equip
ment as present 1 and 2r first and second
class coaches, Pullman first class ani
Pullman tourist sleepers and dining
cars, with the usual number of mail,
express and baggage cars. These trains
will carry standard and tourist ileepers
from and to St. Lonis by the Billings
route, the "Burlington," thus offering
the public a service to the Missouri
river country, St. Louis and inter
mediate territory superior to anything
heretofore established.
The "North Coast Limited" will be
one of the handsomest and roost com
plete passenger trains in the country.
With its new 70-foot baggage and ex
press cars, combination smoker, new
first class coaches, new Pullman tourist
sleepers, handsomely upholstered in
dark green leather, thoroughly modern
first class sleepers and elegant dining
cars, all wide vestibuled, the train
might be considered complete. Its chief
attractions, however, will be the thor
ough lighting of the train throughout
by electricity, including two berth lights
for reading in each section, and an
observation -car, which will be 70 feet in
length, with a wide and handsomely
railed rear platform, will have 14 up
bolstered plnah chairs, with writing
desk and reading table in the rear end
a carefully selected library of 125 vol
umes; bath room, barber shop and
bnffet in the center, while in the rear
in addition to toilet rooms for men and
women, there will be two smoking and
card rooms, each furnished with six
comfortable chairs and a folding table,
These smoking or card rooms will be
shut off from the remainder of the car
and so thoroughly ventilated that those
addicted to the weed may indulge at
leisure without attracting nndo atten
tion.
The Northern Pacific management ro
alize that for short night runs, as for
instance, between St. Paul and Chicago,
where there is no opportunity to enjoy
the really interesting scenerj , a library
car meets the wants of the traveler, but
on a transcontental journey of 2000 miles
or more, where the passenger hopes to
see something of the country through
which he is passing, perhaps for the
first time, they hold that the observa
tion car ia the car par excellence, and
that nothing else will take its place.
The "North Coast Limited" of the
Northern Pacific will be run exclusive
ly in the interest of passengers and, as
a consequence, the observation car will
bekeptonthe end of the train for the
benefit of the passengers who have paid
their money and to the disgust possibly
of the "private car" tourists and rail
road officials .who are so frequently in
evidence. President Mellen savs that
neither his own private car nor the
private car of other officials or people
will be hauled on this train.
Thus, for the first time the transcon
tinental traveler is to have, and with
out extra fare or charge, a daily trans
continental passenger service absolutely
superior to anything heretofore offered
him either in the West or in the East.
The Northern Pacific people feel con
fident their enterprise will be appreciat
ed by the public and that the large
business they have heretofore enjoyed
will be greatly increased.
The Northern Pacific passenger busi
ness of the past year has been very satis
factory, and it is showing a good increaae
right along. It will not seem out of
place that the Northern Pacific railway
should inangurate this service, as they
did the dining car service, especially
when it is borne in mind that the earn
ing of the passenger trains for the put
year show a greater revenue per train
mile than any other road in the United
States or Canada.

'THE BRAND OF CAIN.'
Clever I'lay Well Portrayed The
Audience Iellgh:rd.
The seating capacity of the B&ldwia
theater is hardly large enongh to accom
modate the immense crowds that attend
the Shaw company's performances.
Last night all available seats were taken
acd many were compelled to stand.
"The Brand of Cain" as produced by this
excellent company was ail that ould
be desired. The tcenery end effects used
are carried by the company and con
tribute very much to the success of the
rendition.
The scenes in "The Brand of Cain"
are laid in Spain and England. The
play has equal propoi lions of comedy,
romance and tragedy, portraying strong
sentiment throughout.
Mr. Shaw, ia the roles of John Doe
and James Leighton, appeared to fine
advantage. He was given a difficult
task in interpreting two characters of
opposite natures, but ho made the
change from one role to the other with
such skill that he won universal praise
from the audience for his clever work.
Every member of the company is
worthy of praise for their excellent act
ing and character portrayal. Mrs. Shaw
was an ideal maid, and, as Nora Logan,
coveted herself with honors. She was
clever, vivacious, and did not over da
the part, but was so pleasing that many
were the encores she received. Miss
Carter, as "Juana," the Spanish inn
keeper's daughter, and Miss Kelton, as
"Phyllis Leighton," were highlv suc
cessful. H. W.. Gilbert was eacellent
as "Jeffrey Gordon," whiU Al II. IIa.
lett was an excellent "Larkins." L, J.
Plummer, as Sir William Conrtuey,"
was Immense. A. J. Watson, playing
the villlan, "Kobert Burleigh," along
with the companion villian'a part of
Mr. Shaw as "John Doe," demonstrated
very completely bis versatility.
The entire performance was worthy
of praise, and one that'was taking with
the audience.
Miss Jennie Kelton very ably enter
tained the audience between the first
and second acts with a song and daDce
specialty.
The music as usual was above the
ordinary, and the xylophone solo was so
poasing that several solos ere neces
sary to appease the audience.
