OREGON OITY, - JULY 15, 1898.
It is probably not generally known
that Jess Boone, after whom Boone's
Ferry on the Willamette was named,
was a great-grand son of Daniel Boone,
who established the first settlement in
Kentucky in 1775.
Tub popular war loan,asitis called,
is not such a "popular" one after all
Bankers and other money sharks have
employed dummies nearly everywhere,
and a great majority of the $500 sub'
scriptions have been secured by them
R. J. Hendricks, proprietor of the
Salem Statesman, has been recommended
and probably appointed appraiser of
Custom at Portland, ($3000 a year) in
place of Col. Summers, who has gone to

' ment. Bob was formerly superinten
dent of the state reform school, and gen
erally knows how to pick up a nice offl
cial plum when he sees it lying around
in the way.
Spain has no coal for her ships, no
clothing, no food, no ammunition for her
armies, no money for her treasury and
no credit for her government. Yet un
less she grieves the administration by
surrendering unexpectedly the war will
be protracted until after the November
election. The administration has won
its great triumph. It has got permis
sion to issue to its campaign contributors
half a billion in bonds, but it has not
yet fired a shot at Havana. '
TlIF LESSON OF SANTIAGO.
It is now seen that black powder is
not as cood as smokeless powder. This
fact was known among all the civilized
nations of the world except in the
United States. Whose fault was it tba
the Washington authorities were destitute
of that knowledge? It wis everywhere
but at Wasliiitg'on Unit there hud been
vast improvements lu ado in army rifles
since the Springfield rillo was regarded J
as lirai-class. Every other government
in the world knew that the Mauser riflo
has an effective range of 2,000 yards and
the Springfield rillo of only 800 yards.
Why was not this fact known at Wash
ington? Modern trenches, guarded by
strong barbed wire fences amply sup
plied with experienced snldiers and
Mauser rifles, are not usually captured
by infantry without the use of artillery
or some other method of demoralizing
the concealed enemy or driving him into
the open. The necessity of inarching
bravo American boys against such death
dealing breast works as existed at
Santiago has not been explained.
Tlio question will bo asked, was the
United States too poor to provide
artillery and our engineers too ignorant
or inefficient to place and use modern
guns, or did tlio authorities at Washing
ton think it was bolter to sacrifice our
bravo boys in an unequal encounter
than to bother about using ordinary
modern appliances in the only rational
way to meet such a case us confronted
us ut Santiago? The American people
will unanimously stand by tlie adminis
tration in the vigorous prosecution of the
war, in spite of mistakes, but excuses
for failure to have and use the best guns,
the best powder and the highest intelli
gence, will not bo received. The men
who assume places of high responsibility
will be held to a strict accountability for
the needless sacrifice of human life.
THE NEW HE VENUE LAW
The new revenue stamp act has been
into effect Bince July 1. The law al
lows no excuse for ignorance and evory
person is therefore compelled to inform
themselves concerning the provisions of
the law, which is a now deal and wil
bear watching by thoughtless people.
In the ubsenco of regulation stamps
postage stamps can bo used. The users
of the regulation stamps or the postage
stamps must cancel each stamp by writ
ing his intials and the date of use there
on. There is a heavy penalty for non
compliance with this provision.
Tho banks will all be supplied with
stamps as soon as they can bo secured,
Tho provision relating to banking bus
iness reads:
That if liny person or persons shall
make. stun, or issue, or cause to lie
made, sivtnod, or issued, or shall accept
or pay, or cause to be accepted or paid,
any cheek, bill of exchange, dratt, or
order, or promissory nolo lor tlio pay
inentof money, without having there
noon a 2 cent adhesive internal revenue
stamp, shall be deemed guilty of mis
demeanor, and upon convicuon inereoi
shall be punished by a tine of not ex
ceeding f.'OO.
Tho people nro also interested in tho
following items:
Stocks and bonds of co-operative
building and loan associations whoso
capital stock dees not exceed $10,000,
and building and loan associations or
companies that make loans only to their
shareholders, are exempt.

additional $500 or fraction thereof, 50
cents.
Mortgages and trustee deeds and as-
sienment of same $1000 to $1500, 25
cents ; for each additional $500 or fra&
tional part thereof, in excess of $1500,

deposit, 2 cents.
Indemnifying bonds 50 cents.

The gold-standard newspapers, for
evident reasons, argue that the result of
the late election shows that that there
can be no successful union of reform
forces ; but they ignore facts which prove
the contrary. Had thera not been a
union the victory of the Republican
party would have been even more com
plete, owing to unforeseen circumstances
that were greatly in its favor. The
issues which were the basis ot the contest
contest at the beginning were almost
entirely i lost sight of during the last
weeks of the campaign. A determina
tion to endorse the foreign policy of the
federal administration caused thous
ands to vote the Republicnn ticket under
the impression that they were accomp
lishing their object. It is quite probable
that had there been no war the Uniou
cause would triumphed on June 6th.
As it a was, a number of members the
legislature and many county officials
elected through "fusion" alone. Union
will yet be success full. The experimental
stage has Leen passed. Jacksonville
Times.
Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kan
is, whose fame as a brilliant writer, a
man of lemarkable scholarship and liter
ary attainments, is even greater than
that of the distinguished senator, an
nounces a new book the subject of the
Aineriran-spanish-Uiibun War. it is en
tilled, "America's War For Humanity
in Picture and Story." It is published
by tho N. D. Thompson Publishing Oi..
of St. Louis, Mo , and is an exhaustive
discussion of the causes of the war, and
an equally exhaustive history of its incid-
-ents, and a briiiant analysis of the fam
ouscha'acierscondnctingit. It promises
to le the'one grent pooular work called
