Biirca the Cuban war began the
colonial debt of the island has been
Increased by 1305.000,075. 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.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
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
