IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.
There is no man living who ought
to hive a better knowledge of Uie
renl condition of the people of Puerto
Rico than Governor General Davis,
and no man had greater Influence
with congress in the matter of form
ulating the policy that is embodied
in the Puerto Rican bill. Here is a
statement made by General Davis
on March 31st while the bill was
under discussion. It abundantly
justifies the wisdom, not to say
humanity, of tho policy of the ad
ministration :
"If congress should adopt free
rnde the receipts of tho custom
houses would naturally cease. One
million five hundred thousand dollars
have been collected during the fiscal
year, and with free trade this would
fall off. What then will run the
island ? If free trade is adopted I
cannot see how tho necessary fucds
for conducting the affairs of the
island are to bo raised by myself or
thoe who succeed me. Two million
dollars are the present expenses and
this amount will bo needed annnally
There is only a small revenue in
coming from stamps, liquors, tobacco
and mercantile licenses, and it is
impossible to collect taxes because
of the conditions."

The Arlington Advocate, an inde
pendent paper, pays the following
handsome compliment to one of our
Republican candidates for joint rep
resentative: "Geo. Miller, the nom
inee for representative for this district,
is a well known Gilliam county man.
At the present he is engaged in the
mercantile business in this city,
whose bouse is the oldest established
in Arlington. Mr. Miller is an Ore
gon native son, born in Benton
county in 1863. Since attaining his
majority he has made his home In
Morrow and Gilliam counties. As
a man of honesty of purpose and
upiightness of heart he has never
been doubted. With all fairness to
other candidates we feel obliged to
eay that a better man for the position
could Dot be found in the entire
district."
Tub Chronicle, it need not be
said, is not the organ of Senator
McBtide, or of anybody, but it can
not help rising to remark that as
between Senator McBride, a clean,
honorable, hard-working public serv
ant, and Ex-SenatorCorbett. a senile,
old simpleton whose money de
bauched an Oregon legislature and
who allowed Simon to reap the
usufruct after the latter had pulled
the old man's leg for all there was
in it, The CmtONici.E is for McBride
every day in the week. If McBride
had as much money as Corbctt and,
to borrow the phrase of another
were as easily flimflammed out of it
as that distinguished relic of a pre
historic age, the Oregonian and Tele
gram would speak of him as Oregon's
distinguished senator and statesman.
world does not know of an instance
where a trust has asked for protected
raw materials. Democrats and rec
reant Republicans like Simon who
voted for free trade with Puerto
Rico, voted for the very thing the
trusts wanted.
The first copy of the Shaniko
Leader came to hand today. It is
a clean, handsome eight-column
sheet, well edited and full of bright,
well-told paragraphs of local and
personal happenings of the new
town. There is no mistaking its
politics. It is Republican to the
core. Brother Holder probably could
not straddle the fence if he tried to,
and evidently does not want to even
if he could. Wo welcome this new
addition to tho Republican Journal,
ism of Wasco county.
The history of the forest reserves
may eventually come out. Congress
man Wilson, of Idaho, has introduced
a resolution in com-ress asking
whether the request for the creation
of the forest reserves came from the
people residing within the states
where the reserves are created, or
from the land grant railroad com
panies, who have thus been enabled
to exchange hinds of little value for
forest reserve scrip worth many
times the value of the lands in lieu
of which it is issued.
It was only a little bit of a bouquet
that had been worn for a few min
utes in the button hole of Wandering
Willie of Nebraska, when he last
vexed the air of the Webfoot
metropolis, but when once presented
to the fat editor of the Prineville
Review it had the magical effect of
transforming him from a mild
visioned, gold standard, Palmner and
Buckner Democrat, into a wild
eyed, rip-snorting, octopus-pulverizing
Bryanite.
The sentiment of Eistern Oregon
Republicans towards the Republican
candidate for congiess for this
district Is well expressed in the fol
lowing editorial from the Harney
County News:
'For those places which coucern
the electors of this county and
district most closely, we have, for
representative in congress, Hon.
Malcolm A. Moody, of The Dalles,
a business man of ability and un
questionable integrity ; ono who haj
grown into manhood among the
changing scenes of Eastern Oregon's
development, and who for two years
has ably represented his district in
the federal congresss. Mr. Moody
has legions of personal and political
friends throughout the district, Is
thoroughly Republican, and his per
ception of the party's true attitude
toward the questions that confront
the country Is far reaching, clear and
correct. As an indefatigable worker
for the good of the inland empire,
Mr. Moody deserves the support of
of all who have tho best interests of
this great region at heart, and we
confidently predict that be will be
re-elected by a handsome majority

C. E. Miller, who has had charge of
tho dry goods department in Pease &

next week with his family for Oakland,
California, after which Mr. Miller will

The chances are now a hundred to
one thai the neighborhood of The
Dalles will this year have the largest
fruit crop ever harvested here.
Thousands of bushels of the finest

less something is done, and done soon,
to establish a fruit cannery. Here
surely is an opportunity for a safe
and profitable investment in a busi
ness that would increase in magni
tude with each passing year.
If you want to know tho kind of
men Oregon Republicans nominated
for the state legislature the other
day in Portland, read the dispatch
from Granite, which appears else
where, giving account of the recep
tion accorded George J. Barrett,
nominee for Joint representative of
Wasco, Grant, Gilliam, Wheeler and
Sherman counties, upon bis return
borne after the nomination.
The Republicans of Oregon are
equal to any emergency, says Tony
Noltner, the old Democratic war-
horse of tho Portland Dispatch,

ne uepuoucan managers run up
against a bard knot they let it alone
and go around it. The Democrats,
on the contrary, are always hunting
up hard knots to run against. The
latter has too many platform con
ati uctors and a want of sense.
The Democratic state platform
condemns the "present Republican
congress for obeying the demand of
Ihe trusts for a tariff upon goods
Imported to Puerto Rico," etc. This
plank Is the child of ignorance or
mendacity. Whatever its parentage
the statement bears on its face the
videoce of its own absurdity. The
Remember you cannot register
after the 15tb of May, neither for
the state election in June nor for
the presidential election in Novem

you want to be spared this trouble

An exchange suggests that a show
man who could secuie Grover G.
Cleveland and J. P. Altgeld to
discuss the question, "What would
Thomas Jefferson do?" would be
certain of an audience, if not a
fortune.
The Democratic state platform is
a pretty mess. It "reaffirms and
indorses, in whole and in part, in
letter and in spirit" the Chicago
platform of 1896. Now the platform
of 1896 declares that "the act of
1873, demonetizing silver, without
the knowledge or approval of the
American people, has resulted in the
appreciation of gold and a corres
ponding fall in the prices of com
moditics produced by the people."
But sinco 1806 prices of commodi
ties have risen enormously, and gold,
by every Democratic contention, has
depreciated. The "mess" comes
from trying to fit Democratic
theories into Republican verities and
the facts of history.
"It throbs in my throat; it surges
in my soul; it is my very life, and
without it every star in the horizon
would go out foreverl" exclaimed
Eugene Debs in a speech the otber
day. It is supposed he was speaking
of liberty, or anarchy, or something
of an abstract nature, though bis
auditors could not be blamed fcr
thinking he was describing a Mis
souri cocktail, says the Portland
Telegram.
Net only does the constitution not
