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.

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

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

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

over their introduction in congress
bas crystalized into the solid and un
qualified opposition of tbe entire

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.'

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.

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
