For more than 200 years be and bis forefathers bave been contending wi b the waililce tribes of South Africa. Two centuries of constant peril and frequent wars with tbe natives bave sharpened his fighting wi's amazingly." Tbe Boers are a brave ople. Tbey bave a deep religious nature; and in many ways, wben their nar row pride has not been offended, nor their suspicious nature excited, tbey are kindly and admirable. But wben yon hive paid tbem tbis tribute, you bave said about all (bat can be set to tbe credit of tbe South African Dutchman. He Is slow, cn progressive, unenlightened. What ever South Africa may have in way of progress, enterprise, art, music, literature and higher refinement, has been carried thither by tbe bated outlander. Tbe outlandcr has built tbe railroads, strung the telegraph and telephone lines, developed the mineral wealth of the country, and stood everywhere for enlightend progress. If tbe Boers were to themselves on a large island, their sixteenth eenlnry mclbo'ls could be tolerated. Unfortunately, they are upon a vast continent desired by other pro gressive peoples. If only tbey were sandwiched in between tbe Riitioh South African colonies, there might kavo been some hope of the indefinite eoUinuance of tbif status quo. But they are commingled with the llriliab and the oullanders. In the British territory of Cape Colony they out number the British, while, on the other bund, in ibeTranivaal republic, at the time hostilities were jaugu vated, the outlanriers outnumbered the Boers. To the student of history, nothing ia plainer than that lloer or Biiton tnt dominate in South Africa; and the question with Americans ought to be potent for public good." Roaringly sarcastic as Ibis must ap pear to every man who has an ounce of memory or perception Mr. Harlan gives it to Ibe world with oracular solemnity, and it is a touching sight to see Tony Noltncr, tbe veteran war horse of tbe Multuomah Democ racy, metaphorically patting tbe ba!d spot on his ne-born brother's pericranium and with tears in his voice tenderly whispering in tbe old man's ear: "Correct you arc, Brother Harlan." At the beginning of tbe century, in the good old time o! the "dollar of the daddies" so called because not one daddy in a thousand ever saw one of them before the "money power" bad stricken down tbe "money of the constitution, con tracted tbe currency" and placed the country on the "accursed gold stand ard, tbe "per capicia" circulation, as John Luce used to call it, was $4.99 "per capicia." In I860 it rose to 113.80. Wben the crime of '73 was committed it bad risen to 18 04. When William McKinley was elected president it stood at $21.10. Since then, in tbe teeth of ten thousand prophecies proclaimed from ten thousand stump and by twice ten thousand Bryanite organs, It has risen by leaps and bounds till it has reached $26, the highest point in the history of tbe nation. And best of all, every dollar of this enormous in crease and every other dollar of the nation's currency Is as good as the best dollar under the stars. The Orcgonian prints another long installment of Senator Simon's speech on the Quay contest which is simply a defense of the methods employed at the legislative Ecssion of 1897 to defeat Senator Mitchell. Belter a thousand times the Orcgonian had "killed" the entire speech. It may do for foreign consumption but it is not adopted to Oregon stomachs. lobe, nboie domination will but Mitchell held up the legislature and advance the interests of civilization, pieventcd its oigsnization! Corbett and most promote tbe welfare of our never spent a bean to defeat Mitchell! wn country? We ought to return Idi! Wbo furnished the money to n honest answer to that question, 1 u" l'J0 entire Populist delegation? and govern our actions by It. ' U'Ren openly owned tbat every man Spokesman-Review. Jack of tbem, himself included, was bought and paid for "by the enemies of MLchell." Who furnished the funds to run the harem for tbe grosser beasts and all tbe other stimulants and concomitants of royal revelry and debauch? Bury this old stench out of sight for ever, Mr. Orcgonian. j The more you and Mr. Simon stir it the more it polutet the air. I'rcii lent Hammond, of the Astoria fc Columbia River railroad, says he knows the men whom Paul Mohr Senator McBride's bill to pension the war veterans of the Pacific coast has passed tbe senate and gone ' to tbe proper bouse committee wbcie it will b'ive better luck than ils numerous predecessors of the last twenty years if it is ever beard of again. Meanwhile the veterans them selves, to wbom an ungrateful re public renders this tardy justice, are passing rapidly to a land where, hap pily for them, pensions are not needed. Cotton touched nine cents a pound in ew Orleans a few days ago. This is an advance equivalent to $20 a bale over the values that ruled a few years ago wben the mesmerized cohorts of Bryanism were swearing by all tbe stars in tbe firmament that nothing but tree silver could save the nation from commercial bank ruptcy. It is thus that the accursed gold standard is everywhere gettirg In its deadly work. preat Britain has bad the accursed gold standard for nearly a century and it has so "ground her people in the dust" gold dust apparently tbat last Saturday when the govern ment opened subscriptions to tbe war loan, "all sorts and conditions of people" flocked to tbe Bank of Eng land and in less than two hours tbe entire loan was oversubscribed. Now that tbe bills for leasing tbe public lands bave been laid away In their little beds, congress will please let them stay there and stay for all time. Tbe agitation that bas arisen over their introduction in congress bas crystalized into the solid and un qualified opposition of tbe entire Northwest. School ElactloD. HMA UA'OX VMUJhOVUER. A Wamlc correspondent, who signs himself "No. 9 Smallpox," sends ns an earnest protest against certain ons of Belial wbo, as be alleges, are ' -rns" on the Wamicitcs to '" good people of 1 engaged in -altering" the eir neighbors, eems to be a School election in tbis district will be held Monday at the recorder's office. One director and a school clerk will be elected. The following;, which was en acted by the legislature, will explain who are entitled to vote: "In all school districts in this state now created or that shall hereafter be created, any citizen of this state, male or female, married or unmarried, shall be entitled to vote at any school election or ccbool meeting, who is twenty-one tears of age, and has resided in the district thirty (3'J) Hays immediately preceding tbe meeting or election, and wbo has property in the district of the value of at least flOO, as shown by the last preceding county astetement, upon which he or she is requited to pay a tax ; provided, tbat in districts of lets than one thousand inhabitant women who ar widows and male citizens over twenty-one (21) years of aga who have children in tbe district of school age, and wbo shall have resided In the district thirty (30) days, as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote at any rchool meeting for the election of school di rectors or school clerk.' Mrs. Calvin Z;uia.ermao, Milesburg, a., says, "As a speedy care for coughs, C'4d croup and sore throat One Minnie Cough Cure is unequaled. -It is pleasant for childieo to take. I heartily recom mend it to mothers." It Is the only harmless remedy that produce! Im mediate remits. It cures bronchitis, pneumonia, grippe and throat and lung diseases. It will prevent consumption. pretty high, though, on account cf tbe goot price expected for wool, and the presence of nomeroas buyers from the Eut," he said. "A goad many sheep are changing bands between the stock men themselves, as many sbeepraisers old down pretty clute last year, and now desire to restock the ranges depleted by Eastern bnyers in 1899. Two-year-oil wethers are held at $3.25 bead, after shearing, while yearlings are being sold from 12.15 to 12.85 each. The Mon tana and Wyoming stockd rivers, wbo a few weeks ago declared they were go:n back borne without any sheep, on account of prices demanded in Eastern Oregon, are now baying in all directions and paying the figures asked. "1 tell you sheepmen are "in it" tbis season. With ebeep at a good price, wool promising fair figures, and tbe bills covered with a fine growth of green grass, they can be pretty independent and they are. List week 5 a bead was refused for a band of 2000 ewes in Gil liam county, the intending purchaser being a sheepman whose range lies in the northern part of Crook county. Tbe offer was made fur tbe purpose of re stocking a range vacated last summer in response to what was then considered good prices for ebeep; but they bave advanced from 25 to 50 cents per head since then, and so several sneepmen who got out of the business last year are now anxions to get in again. Tbis $5 a head was refused because the own- era figured on each lamb dropped next month being worth tt 50, and each ewe khearing wool to the value of $1.25 in May. Tbusewe,lamb and fleece, wonld figure up a total of fo.75, after shearing, "On account of.t he bountiful pasturee, sheepownere are expecting a large in crease this larcbing, which begins about March 25, and lasts for a month Shearing will be done in May, and never was the wool crop In better fix. I did not see a broken fl?ece or a sign of scab in tbe thousands of sheep I came across tbis trip, and I consider scab just about wiped ont in Eastern Oregon. "Cattle-raisers are fortunate in ob taining good prices tbis year, but tbe trouble is they have very few to sell. I found a great many 3-year-old steers in small lots, several hundred being fat tened on Summit Prairie, in Grant county, alone. I do not look for any further advance in the price of beef, as the retail price bas net gone beyond tbe poor man's pocket, an1 this will lesson the number of animals slaughtered. Tbe laborer and tbe mechanic and their families are great consumers of beef, and when they curtail their meat sup ply, butchers suffer a filling off in trade. Tbe Alaska market keeps beef prices op in Oregon, as those miners and northern adventurers do not care what beef costs. They are bound to bave it. "Cattle-raisers have also quit selling off their heifers and cows, and this new departure will soon resnlt in nely stocked cattle pastures. Therefore, I do not look for an advance in the present prices of yearling calves, $ 20; or for beef cattle on foot, 4 75 per hundred. A DEADLY COMPARISON. A Strong Inrtnratmcot of lb McKlnlry Administration. The brilliant ex senator from Kansas, John J. Ingalls, who certainly will not he regarded as a party hack or politician looking for preferment, gives an inde pendent view of the McKinley' adminis tration, prospective and ret-ospctive, and says : "Demagogues are out of a job and the only tramps fcre volunteers. Something has scattered plenty o'er the smiling land. Kinployroent i abundant and wages rise. Agriculture embsrrasres the farmer with its riches, and burdens the fleets of the world with its abundance. Commerce thrives beyond precedent. Manufactures multiply and replenish the earth. From Cape Nome to I'uerto Rico, from Manila to Maine, forges blaze, stacks smoke, wheels revolve, spindles hum, and electric lights Lurn night and day. It is an illuminated chapter from tbe Romance of Prosperity. Even per capita, tbe mysterious and menacing spectre, whose shadow so often darkened the feast, has Increased from $22.47 (when McKinley was in augurated) to25 ?)8 at the close of the third year of his administration the most rapid growth of money in clrcula tian in our history and very largely in gold.

TO BRIDGE THE COLUMBIA. A Proposition Will Ha Presented 1 bo Dalle Poealble Trrmlnu fur the Portage Kuad. COUNTY COURT PROCEED Uil'e Allowed Not Provided For Bj Petitions Granted end N J notices Appointed. Tne Dalles has a reputation of being a very liberal city and it has proved itself entitled to be so reputed. .The prompt manner in which our citizens responded to tbe proposed sconrin ( mill, w hic'iis now an assured fact, bas been tbe source of mnch satisfaction to the well wishers of the town. This does not seem to be an opportune lime for calling upon our citizens for more money and there is no disposition for Bach a movement, but the fact remains that opportunities are presenting themselves which, if taken op, will mean much for the future pros perity of our beloved city. Tbe building of a bridge across the Columbia, which would enable the Paul Mohr railroad to make its terminus bere, would in the next twenty yea s many times repay the cost through the increased trade brought to The Dalles. We are informed that Mr. Muhr will submit a proposition to our citizens within a few days as to their share in the proposed building of the bridge, and when the proposal is made it would be a piece of wisdom upon the part of the people of this city, to give it earnest con sideration, and if possible see that tbe territory north of the Columbia, be brought In closer relations with this town through means of a bridge. The Dalles can he a great gainer from the Paul Mohr road if it will only do its part; and our people bave never failed wben put to the test. Notice to the Pnollr. The Columbia Southern Railway Com pany will cumplete its line and be ready to receive forward freight and passengers from Shaniko tot later than April 15, 1900. Large warehouses and stock yards will be erected and ready for wool and stock by the abovo date. Freight rates will be considerable lower than by team from Tbe Dailee.
