GtMiRAt (0Mrz, coniniandr-io-chief ol -the patriot army in Cuba, is slender in build, weighing but 140 pounds, and standing five feet seven inches in height. He is CO years of age. apparently in the prime of his intel lectual and physical powers. As a horse man he Is said to be the admiration of all his followers. He usually rides at the head -of his army on its marches and in its almost daily fights. Officers who have served un .der him say that he is one of the greatest generals of modern times. He is of pure Castellian blood. Antonio Maceo, second in command in the Cuban army, Is a tall, broad-shouldered man in the prime of life, id is personally and physically a hand some man. He is a mulatto, though of light skin. He has proved himself to be strategist of unusual ability and his brav ery is unquestioned, for he is the terror of the Spanish soldiery. The army of Gen eral Gomez is largely made up of white men while that of Maceo is principally composed of negros and mulattos. As to fighting jnatrrial the two armies, Gomez's being in tbe east part of tbe island and il ami's in tbe western part, as well as Ihe I wo generals, are equals ami hold their own against three to four times their numbers of Spanish troops with a bravery and dash that cannot but end in their gaining the Independence of Cuba from the tyrany of Spain. 'Tbrre is no town in Oregon other than Portland, that is favored by the press with o many notices as is Oregon City. Our water power and great nianiilacturirg ami industrial concerns, in which tbe whole country is at least indirectly interested, is their theme and the many good words apoken cannot but have a great influence in calling the attention of capitalists and investors to our advantages. One ol the iastest papers to give Oregon City a notice is Mining, a magazine published in Spokane and devoted to mining and manufacturing interests. It gives a two-page article on our water power and great electric plant, that is well written and contains much in formation for strangers, their data being derived from the illustrated pamphlet of the Oregon City board ol trade. Circu lating as this magazine does, which by the way is of iO Dages and a credit to the North west, among capitalists and men who are looking for good investments it cannot but be of much value in advertising Oregon City. Mrvno has of lute htvouip one of the most piosprnms nntmns of the world, and is building up id a rate not etnilli'd lv any oihcr ol the I m m-A Mu rium contiUn". Since Ilia. ontiiui'il the presidency and i:ave the country a slahle goerumenl, r it i I -roa.ts he been built, mines opened up and the acririilluriil resources doM'lopi'd to such an extent that a nimked Imri'it-, in population is nolicable. The recent Irdrntl census shows the country to have a popula tion of I l.'.M'.'.iW. As Is shown, several of the Meiican cities are coming to rank as towns of the first class.

Need of a board of pardons for Oregon is not so great now as it was whtn we had the erratic l'cunoyer for govenor, yel even with so level-headed a govenor as Lord is, a board could better handle this important business. Too fre quently pardons are granted through sym pathy, even though the convict is guilty and being justly punished, the govenor not being ali to withstand the pleauimts ol a mother or wife, and thus setting justice at naught and making the expenses of our criminal courts a useless burden on the lax- payers. With a board of pardons the sym pathy racket, as well as th political pull, could not be worked so well and the work of tbe courts would not be set aside or in terfeared with as is so lre.iie"tly done now. Tux Farmers' Institute for this county to be conducted in this city on Friday and Saturday of next week by the professors of the State agricultural college, promisee to be well worthy of attendance of every far mer in this section.

The London Specialor has an article on the prevailing restlessness of nations, in which it speaks of a probability that some sort of disastrous explosion among them is near at hand. It refers to the develop ment of socialism in France and also In (lermany. The Oernian enieror cannot be ipiiet, and the dreania that he Is to be "the child of the centuries." Russia has feverish symptoms anil still oppresses the Jews; Italy ia nut happy, and Turkey Is Inflamed with Its old murderous passions. Americans are said to be about to forego I old policies and mix In the politics of the world. In Kuglaud, "with all her exter nal calm,' there are uneasiness, resent ments, and unsettled points in economics. Whether these phases of emotion will pass of? harmlessly remains to be seen. There is a possibility of furious wars and "a very small match just now would tire the maga sine." Tbe Mwla(or is at least mistaken about the Vi.ited Mutes.

The following is the list of letters remain ing in tbe ost office at Oregon City, Oregon, on February IsmS: Max s LIST. Thi Oregon City Young Men's Repub lican club should begin to do some work for this campaign. All the other republican clubs in the county are holding regular meetings and their work cannot but have a strong influence with the voters. Tbe club in this city should have a big rally in the near future and start the ball rolling and then following It up with several meetings with some of the leading speakers of the state to address our voters. Oregon Ciiy Is not so solidly republican that no work Is required to give the party the usual majority in tbe city wards. Haulstou. 0 Hoy Ian, A K Carey, Henry Campbell, John Commons, H I. Curran, Walt France, K A Oarrett, llert Hurst, C A Lewis, ('has l'arker, K W Smith, J Newton Tonipson, Sam Wilkinson, E 11 Aftkb a hitter tint in their convention last week, the Lane county populist decided to keep in the middle of the read and de clined a fusion with the democrats. In thi" county, fusion is talked of by some populists and deinocra's, but it will probably not he brought about. Most of the populist lead ers want the whole hog or none and feel confident enough of winning at the polls to be willing to trust to their own party strength for success. The democrat man agers appear to be even more shy of fusion, for the fate of the party in other places where fu-ion has been tried, was too disas trous to soon forget. Fusion in Kansas nearly disrupted the democratic party, and in Columbia county, this slate, fusion enabled the populists to swallow it so com pletely that the democratic organization has gone out of existence. That a low tariff brings disaster to the aheep men, has of late become too appar ent to be further doubted. As an ob ject lesson it can be borne in mind that while sheep of the 1'nited fetates are worth but slightly more than one-half what they were two years ago, the wool exportation roni England to America in 1W5 was nearly triple or that of 18!M, the Importa tions of woolens nearly quadrupled, and shoddy, that iniquitous adulterant and counterfeit, which defrauds the wearer of cheap and medium-priced clothing, in creased hv about 1.701 ner cent Enolahd does not believe in a policy of reciprocity. After selling us upward of 950,000,040 more of her goods last year, over ami above the quantity sold in lHii, she bought less of our w heat and flour to the extent of ?1, 200,000. But she bought more wheat from Russia, Germany, Turkey, .Egypt and India; also more (lour from Ger many, France, Austria and Canada. Eng land wants the United Ktates to furnish her a ma ki t for her manufactured products and then buy her raw material where she -can do the best. The democratic antipathy to internal im provements, together w ith the opposition of the trans-continental railroads, appear to have hung up the Nicaragua canal project for the time being and this much needed great waterway will have to wait for a more auspicious time. The time will come when this canal will be built by the general gov ernment and then will an impetus be given to the commerce and manufacturing Indus tries ol tb? l'acific coast pot possible from any other cans. It would appear that Americans are be coming less roving than their fathers were, as is shown by Professor Wilcoi ol Cornell, who has compiled a series of statistics show ing tbat in 170 more than one-fourth ol our native population had removed from the states where they were born, but in IKi) only one fifth had emigrated. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. The Newberg Independent speaks of the social evil in the following truthful Ian guage: There is one evil in this world that apparently cannot be remedied by statutory law, and that ia the evil of uu lawful intercourse between the sexes. Vet it is an evil of fearful magnitude, and from it prows no inconsiderable r cent of other crimes. The most recent and horrible il lustration of this is shown in the brutal murder of Pearl Iiryan, of Greencastle, In diana, last week by persons to whom she had gone for help to shield her from the natural results of a physical law. One is made to shudder at the thought of a crime like this, and yet such or similar crimes are not of rare occurrence. In many in stances the miinierer is punished, but the primary crime is not reached by the law. How, then, shall It he dealt with? Oltvi t ously in the borne, not only by teaching but in example. Here is the only place where the evil influences and teachings of the out side world are to be offset. To look upon such things lightly in the home is to un derestimate natural tendencies and out side influences, and the result is often hu miliation and sorrow. It isn't much to be wondered at that such things take place when there has been no home training along these lines. Young men and women come in contact witn tins evil In some phase almost every dav, from the time they enter tbe public schools until they ar rive at maturity, and it is not much to be wondered at tbat it accomplishes the ruin of so many. Parents who ignore these facts, and who do not strive to counteract these evil influences and tendencies, be come to a large extent party to any crime that may result from such failure. wovia's list.

People should he informed and made to know that the electric cars are not drawn with the power of horses and consequently cannot lie stopped when the accident occurs, and people must be more careful.
