The pre vious debt was 1163.551,950, making a total of 1468,552,025. Tbe idea that the island can be induced to stagger along peaceably under this burden is peculiarly Spanish, which is to say harsh and nnatatesmanlike. A iruMBKR of American physicians who hare been experimenting with the Roentgen ray express their belief that it will cure some of the most serious diseases. They say the mag netio ray passes directly into the sys tem, setting up electrolysis. This liberates oxygen to generate done, which is sure death to bacilli. The new form of treatment is at least in teresling and not likely to do any harm. FoRllGH immigration is rapidly in creasing attain. During Februrary and March, 1894, the number of im migrants landed at New York was 21,293. Is tbe corresponding months ot 1895 it was 22,032, and in the same months this year 31,872. It is reported that 15,000 Italian immigrants are about to leave Naples for New York. The .problems connected with immi g ration are likely to become pressing within s year or two. Tbk highest honor that can be paid any economic system is that which is paid to the protective system in the fact that after thirty years' experience we have cheapened every mannfac tured product and our labor has held its own. The manufactured article seems to have gone down in price, but the wage that the workman receives has not been reduced. Match that if you can. Free trade cheapens the ar ticle by cheapening the artisan. Pro tection cheapens the article by elevat ing the artisan. William McKinley. Ths pure food law now in force in Philadelphia has developed the fact that numerous groceries are selling coffee in which there is no trace ol coffee, and mincemeat in which meat is entirely lackine. Tricks of this kind are severely punished in Eng land, but often in America they are carried on to a chamefnl extent. Leg islators would slop this cheating if they were not more deeply interested in small politics than in the protection of the nehta and health of tbe com munity. Op coarse the 8aes Canal is s great waterway, bat its business is far be hind that conducted in a ship canal in the United States. Tbe Sues canal in 1895 passed 3434 steamers, or not quite an average of ten a day. The Boo canal, which was open last year only 231 days, passed during that time 12.495 steamers, 4790 sailing vessels and 671 unregistered craft, an average of over 72 a daj. If tbe com parison be made by tonnage the Soo canal leads by nearly two to one. It is a great showing for American busi ness activity. Thk situation that ensued after the incoming of the present administra tion has been aptly described as one in which the people saw "the operations of industry interrupted, banks, failing, crest commercial houses unable to meet their obligations, credit seriously impaired, mills and factories closed, and thousands of laborers thrown out of employment, and a state of panic and business disorders prevailing in every Part of the country,??.' And . this is not a republican statement of the case, either, but a literal quotation from Secretary Carlisle's speech at Chicago. Tbs following from the Milton (Umatilla county) Eagle indicates clearly which way public sentiment is drifting in Eastern - Oregon : "The Eagle favors the election of Gurdane, Davis, Bigby and Taylor to the Ore gon legislature because their election means four votes for J. H. Mitchell's return to the United States senate. He is the man eminently qualified to serve our people and none other can acceptably fill bis place. These men are all loyal Mitchell men and will use their utmost endeavor to re elect blm to represent Oregon's interests in the highest legislative body in the land." Stats militias are alright for dress parade, bat when it comes to actual service dudeism is not the necessary qualification. Governor McGraw, of Washington, who bad a company of Seattle militia stationed on Sand island at the month of the Columbia last week, no doubt discovered tbst his "dress parade soldiers" were not "in it" when occupying property under tbe jurisdiction of Uncle Sam's blue costs. The militia was. only placed there to haraxa a lot of men who were demanding only their rights which were easily recognized by the federal officer, who very promptly ordered tbe militia to vacate, and it goes without saying they lost no time in doing so. Theie is bo comparison between a real soldier aod an imaginary one. Tasss is a very apparent lack of the spirit of individual independence in this nation. While tbe American peo ple boast of their independence in the enjoyment of a republican govern ment, the freedom of speech and to- dependent thought and aotion is not what it waa in years gone by. Society is constantly lormiug into groups which are too often controlled by dic tatorship. The good results which would otherwise follow independent thought and aotion sink from view be fore the trickery of a scheming dicta tor, whose only thought ts to manipu late those who are subservient to his will in the interest of self agrandise- meut. To be the subservient tool of any boss, clique or coterie ot people means the throwing away of man's birthright; it means thst he who does so has no longer a place among inde pendent people; he is the slave of those who, through fear of their power, be so willingly serves. The sooner every good citiien so intimidated casts off the collar of bossism and exercises the right of a true American, the sooner will the abuses which today ex ist be corrected by a free expression of tbe people who are to exerciso their rights in the management of public affairs. Every man should think for himself, study the conditions with which we are confronted today, and act accordingly. It does not require the assa8tance of tbe unscrupulous pol itician for a man to vote intelligently, for he is able to study the situation for himself. Potatoes have been used for fuel in New York state, says the American Economist. What wonderful luck the empire state has had since 1893, when its favorite (?) son became president. Now the farmers don't have to bother hauling their potatoes to market or to railroads. The extent of the market is contracted by the closed factories and low wages, and this saves the farmer much labor, besides having to advance freight money. Think, too. of the advantage of growing one'a own fuel on one's own farm. What a blow at the coal monopolists and the labor they employ I Cora to burn, potatoes to burn, wheat for hogs. Who would n I be a farmer in free trade times T IS IT REPUBLICANISM? There Is a question before the voters of Colombia eonnty today which is shaping itself to canse trouble in the ranks ot our political parties, especially tbs republican party, nnless tbe republicans of our county look higher than to the circumstances that exist which do not suit their personal whims. Borne republicans in this county (and good ones, too) believe that the state co- yention did wrong by not absolutely and emphatically declaring for or against the free coinage of silver. May be it did. if one ts to look at tbe question from a standpoint of welfare throughout the state, (and we doubt that, too) but we, in Columbia county have our own interests at stske first We believed it then and we believe it now to have been the duty of the delegates to the state convention to cast their ballot on the questions of general import in such man- mer as directly touched their local condi tions. We realize the fact that within the ranks ot tbe republican party in Columbia county there are true republicans who take a per manent stand for or against the free coin- as of silver. On this question they can truly be called extremists, but w believe tbe entire republican party in our county no matter what tbe individual idea on the money question may be, are broad enongb to stand by their ticket, even if the plat form shall not go as far as tbe individual wishes. It is our belief that tbe republican state convention did a a is. thine for the party in the state when it adopted as its platform that of tbe national convention of 1892. That platform was good enough at that time, and even it were not what Ore gon republicans demand at this time, it is good enough until our national convention can formulate a new platform that will em body tbe demands of changed conditions. And as to Columbia county, we are mor ally certain that If the state convention had made an absolute declaration for or against silver the party in this coonty would hav been so divided that it would have lost its election in Jane. . If every individual, or every precinct of individuals insisted on his or their views predominating, no measure or agreement. even in county conventions, could ever be accomplished. Tbe republican party is not a party of one idea; it is a party of many purposes which unfold and develop as the country progresses. We are not disposed to sacrifice all thofe purposes because the majority may decide that one of them is not in accord with our views. If the ma jority cannot rule then there will be no law or order. If the minority Is in the right it will eventually win tbe rrajority to its wsy of. thinking. A party ticket is seldom entirely accept able to all it supporters, snd s republican might as well reject the whole ticket be cause one nominee did not suit him, as to desert it because one plank in its platform was not as be wished. The money question is not an hone of one party: all parties are divided upon it. Up to the time of party conventions it is fair, rational and the privilege of intelligence to discuss s subject of common difference, snd to seek to prevail by persuading opponents to become allies; but when th convention is held it is tbe duty of tbe minority to sub mit. We may be called a policy suggester, bnt let me say again that if the republicans of this eonnty wish to be successful they must onite. We cannot expect to wrest victory from the bands of an over-confident oppo sition unless ws join in one triumphant march against them, and to do this we must be united upon the vital question that of home interest, first. Suppose, for instance, that tbe free silver men should prevail at tbe national conven tion, and sound money men either "bolted'' or abstained from voting in such numbers that the populists were victorious. What would these republicans gain? They would have lost not only the prestige of party and tbe money plank, but th advantage of every other plank of the republican plat form with which tbey were in favor. The populists would not concede it to be a vic tory for free silver republicans, bnt a vic tory for populism, root and branch. It is better to be in accord with nine-tenths of a platform and stand by it, than to desert it and los th whole thing. There are so many subjects upon which republicans differ and the work of bringing them into harmony should go steadily on, instead of seeking to divide th forces as certain ele ments are. Influential newspapers can neither writ or read me ont of the republican party. I hare faith enough in it as a party to cast my ballot with it. and when their national convention meets in St. Loots on tbe 16th of June and formulates its platform I (eel safe in saving that it will be one on which soy republican can stand and vote.

J edge ITorthwp the "Bound Money' Candidate for Cong-rose. By petition of several hundred electors of this congressional district, both democrats and republicans, who favor tbe single gold standard of money. Judge H. H. Nortbup of Portland, baa accepted th nomination for congressman from this the second Ore gon district, and declares the following to be bis platform, and says: "First I am for 'sound money.' By sound money' I mean the use of both met als, gold and silver for money. 1 would not change the a andard of value now ex isting. I am o-iosed to tbe free coinage of silver, but would use sll of that metal that could be floated and preserve its parity with gold. The financial question to now th important one before the country. The agitation of free coinage of silver, and the continued debate upon tbe subject both in and out of congress, produce disquiet and nqrest. The sentiment of sll sections of the country for 'sound money' mnst be as serted, and it U this thought that finally influenced me to permit tbe as of my nam. In this wsy only can confidence be restored, values reinstated and ths pros perity of the country revived. "Second I believe in a protective tariff. It is what this country needs. Coupled with 'sound money,' it will bring employ ment to all claaaes. "Third I believe in Ihe restriction of foreign immigration. 8tepe should at one be taken to protect our laboring classes in this direction. I would also so smend the laws ot naturalisation as to enlarge th period of residence before admission to full eitisenship. Th time ha passed whn we can open wide our doors to all olasses and all peoples. "Fourth Ths opening of th Columbl river is a question of the greatest import' anc to ths second congressional district, Now that th Improvement at th Cascades Is about competed, th work at ths dalles of th Columbia should b commenced, and when begun, pressed to completion, with' out th hindrance and vexatious delays thst impeded the building of ths locks at th cascades. An open river fjom ths sea to the Inland Empire is of ths first Ini portance. Th subject is dear to every citt- sen of Eastern Oregon. It is also dear to the people In Multnomah, Columbia snd Clatsop counties." Judge Nortbup further said: "I do not expect to be aide to make a canvass of the district. My duties her will not permit. My first duty Is to perform the work witli which th people hav entrusted me. If possible, however, I shall rank one or more addresses and give at length my views an J the reasons therefor." II aw Treats at Wife. (Prom Pacific Health Journal.) First, get a wife; second, be patient. Tou may have great trials and perplexities in your business, but do not, therefore, cat ry to your home a cloudy or contracted brow. Your wife may have trials, which though of less magnitude, may be hard for her to bear. A kind word, a tender look will do wonders In chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom. To this we would add, always keep a bottle ot Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy in the house. It i the best, and Is sure to be needed sooner or later. Your wife will then know that you really car for her and wish to protect her health. For sal by Dr. Edwin Ross. Ths Mist and Oregonian one year for $2.00 in advance. EASTERN COmK AND CMOS' MOUSC D.
