Some of it ought to le punctured, and some of it keeps tl.e people poetedY The publie continues to disagree at to whetbsr there will be war or sot. Cer tainly. So far it is wore guess work than anything elie. Men of tqaal wis dom disagreeing. Uncle Sam is doing a nice thing in th manner in which he i feeding tbe Co bans. He hat a big heart, and it reach m from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and there ia no-politics in Uncle 8am' heart, though he runs nearly everything .into politics. An Indemnity of $10,000,000, which, it is said the President will demand from Spain, cannot settle the matter. It will take more than an indemnity, and it is doubtful whether arbitration will be satisfactory. Spain and the United States should settle the matter between themselves. . There is being some talk in reference to the defense of oar coast in case of war with Spain. One thing is certain a Spanish man of war con Id never get np the river as far as Albany, and prob ably not as . far aa Portland. Eeall though there would never be any seri ous danger of an attack in thia diatant part of tbe United State. Spain will have her handa'foll.on the little island of Cab. As a matter ' of fact she h as already had her hands more than fall with the Cabana alone. Mrs. Clarissa Kluge claims to be not only the niece bet the contract wife of Adolph Satro, who was recently declared incapable of manaainjr his own affairs Adolph and Adolphine, a five-year-old h -y and a slx-yes'r-old girl, are the pre sumptive offspring of the contractual marriage. The courts will be called -nbon to decide the validity of tbe claima made by Mrs. Elcge, and incidentally to decide what interest she baa in hi estate. There's probably nothing in the claim at all. Washington Letter. Frosa ear ratolar Cbrreapoadeat . Washington, March 7, 1898 There is no denying that the present colic of tbe administration ia aggrava ting and galling to the average Ameri can, regardless ot his politioal afiliation. It ia difficult to understand, when Spain is trying to move Leaven and earth to borrow money and to buy warships to fight us, why should we not be openly preparing for war by having Congress , appropriate the money needed to bay additional warships and to pnt as on a war footing generally, instead ot pre tending that tbe preparations for war which tbe administration ia making, not only to the extent of available appro priationssjbut in anticipation of appro priations, are merely routine proceed ings. We are not fooling Spain, and it seems ponsensical trying to fool oar selves. Mr. McKinley Knows jast as everybody else knows, that there isn't one chance in ten that war will be avoid ded. He knows that the acceptance of - blood money from Spain will not be countenanced, and that a peace at any price policy would have no supporters outside of Wall Street and its connec tions. Knowing these things it is bis duty to ask Congress to make the neces sary appropriations to pat tbe country in a proper condition of defense and to enable it to give Spain tbe threshing it bas been itching for daring tbe last year or two. It is no valid ezeme to claim that doine so woalJ be a reflection upon . the Naval Court of Inquiry. If so,8pain has been casting reflections upon tbe Court quite numerously daring the last few daya. Bat, as a matter of fact, would it be any more reflection to open ly ak for the money froa Congress to make proper and needed preparation for war, than it is to be serretly making conditional contracts for tbe same thing, in anticipation of appropriations that Cong ret bas not eren yet been asked to make. There is probably not a man in Congress that wouldaak that a gun be fired in advance of tbe verdict of the Court ef Inquiry, but inasmuch as every body now thinks that the verdict will show that tbe destruction of tbe Maine was not an accident, there is little doubt that tbe majority of Congress would like to see tbe arlmiListration openly making eady to ng tit alter tbat verdict ia ren . dered. -. Few men in Congress are willing to be lieve tbe rumors connecting Mr- McKin ley' name with tbe scheme to buy Cuba from Span. Some of his advisers may be in tbe scheme, but Mr. McKinley .ought to know the people of this country well enough to know that they would bury every man oat of sight, politically speaking, who dared to support the nec essary legislature to make this country guarantee tbe payment of Cuban bond which.would to go tbe present holders of Spanish bonds. If this scheme is seri ously pushed, it will soon be discovered that the universal sentiment of our peb pie is, m'tlioos for the preservation of natiocal nonor.'but not one cent for Spanish boul-hcl It appeare that the friends of Hawaiian are afraid to try to secure annexation by a joint leeolution, owing to threats of tbe opposition to keep Congress in ses sion all summer, if they do. At a sec ret meeting of the Sjnate committee on foreign leis'ions it was decided to make another attempt to ratify the treaty. If that fails, as it is expected to do, the wbo matter may be dropped until the next session of Congress. Czar Eeed's latest ralinsr, that demo, erats shall not when the House is sitting as a Committe of tbe Whole criticise the administration, the republican party, or any individual republican, is another step towards the absolute throttling of speech in the House, and is jast as out rageous a ny of those in the same di rection which bave preceded it. From tbe birth of Congress the custom ha been to allow tbe very widest lattitude to members who male speeches while the House, was sitting as tbe committee of the. whole, bat this new autocratic mu-u bo jumbo says that no democrat will be a'lowsd to make a political speech, ex eept when the bill under consideration is parley political.

' ' - " Htu howurptised lam when I find -ijr ,. i't ppcr in which Mr. Sabin's lit -r . . uolLlit-d, e'gt.t extracts from a p-i ri in 1. by Mr. Geer, at Corvallia, winch he piainly shows himself to be a politician and demagogue, and not the .in i coeei man mai nr. canui inn nm to be. He iaes that he does not care to ii rub over old straw, which I must ssy vng'.-s wt- for i always like to hear ii tttiii;g new, but I was only doomed iapi'uinineut for he immediately ell bark to the "pot'' argument of mie- rr presentation and dodging that is al ways resorted to by the advocates ot tbe present corrupt monetary system that is just now being praised by the gold standard fusion party. Mr. Ueer says that the fre silver lu natics have dropped tbe wheat argu ment and do not say anything more about wool and cattle. Free silver men ao not care to thresh over old straw, to use Mr Geer's own wcrds, and it is gen erally conceded by all intelligent men thaUre tree from party prejudice who are noLbound by some other slfi-!i motive that the wheet argument has become e if. evident. tbe Untied States and lvigland are making every ffort to dtru i ver, and tbe wheat cror. of thu world Is the short' eat it bas been since man began to use whea; "Bread is t ho staff of life" and stil! wheat and silver are not so very far apart; wnea. is worth at Barrisbnrg to day the pitiful sum of 64 cents pr ba . in former years with a little shortage in California and the middle west it would o to f 1.40. As to v ooi in tbe same Oregoniaa of March 4, is an account of a man of Tbe Dalles sending a large amount of wool to Boston on Lis acct. and r'neivic. 13J cts per lb. f jr it which - ctj. more than he could have s.vdit fo'in The Dalles; that wou'd sor-ly knock any free siive rite fitly.

Farms in this fine valley are selling for bat little more than Government price, they are good ones too and some that are fairly good are selling for less, and even Dingley and Alaska cannot keep up tbe price of eggs and potatoes. It Mr Ueer baa a gocd cause be should use plain straight forward argamenta and leave off thia dodging and misrep resentation. A fast cause needs no such tactics. ..- 0.x a or the Wisdiks.

Ooe day in the spring of 1875, when tbe Daily Graph:c ol New York was in full swing ot its meteoric career, a mod est looking young man called at the art department of the office, with a package of sketches, t ha Philadel phia Times-' Tbe driuga were left for inspection, and tbe artist, banding his address in Brooklyn lo the assistant of the art editor, took bis departure. The availability ot the work was manifest as soon as the pact a is waa opened, and a comic series of the lot was repro duced at occe for the front page. Their appearance made quite a flutter in tbe sockloft of the art staff, for talent eapa ble of furnishing good comics In pen and ink in those days waa a scarce and costly article. Tbe page was signed "S," and that was all the staff knew about it until trie re waa a general shoving about of desks toXmake room "for Mr Sigabee. But Mr. Sigsbee did not materialise, nor did 'bis wonderfully funny drawings continue. It became kn'wn thai the art editor bad duly notified Mr. Sigsbee that his aketchee were accepted, and tbat be woulJ be given a place opon tbe art atavff at once. Would Mr. 8igsbee please be on band upon Monday morning? But the week rolled by and there was no Mr. Sigsbee. Tne art editor waa un speakably astonished. He then wrote still more urgently lo tbe coy, but de sirable artist and this time he got an answer. "Lieutenant-Commaeder Chaa D Sigsbee, TJ. S.

A PECULIAR FACT. Thousand of People Have Dyspep sia in Its Worst Form acd Do Not Know It. A weak stomach is the cause ot about nine-tenths ol all disease , yet ia mot cases tbe wrong thing is treated and tbe true cause overlooked This is becausw a pak digestion pre duces symptoms resembling r.euly every disease because it weakens and disturbs the action of every nerve and organ in the body ; poor digestion causes heart trouble, kidney troubles, lung weakness and especially nervons break down or t.ervoos prostration, tbe nerves cannot stsnd the wear snd tear unless gener ously fed by well digested, wholesome food. Keep tbe digestion good and to one need fear the approach ot disease Mrs II M Lee of Rochester. X Y, writes: For tbe sake ot suffering hu manity I want to say that from a child I bad a very weak stomach, threw np my food very often after eating and after a few years nervous dyrpepsia reaolted and lor more than tweutv veara 1 hav suffered inexpressibly.

I have recommended Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablet! to many of my friends and now I want in a publie way to say tbey are the safest, plecsantest and I believe surest cure tor stomach and nerve troubles. I write my honest opinion! ana 1 win giaaiy answer any letter of Inquiry at any time and feel tbat I am, in my small way, helping on a good cause. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a patent medicine, but they contain only the fruit salts, digestive acids and peptones necessary to help the weak etomsch to promptly and thorough tly digest food. All druggists sell Stuart's bvananaia Tablets at &0 cents for full sized package and anyone suffering from nervous dys pepsia, sour stomach, beadachee.acidily, gaesee, bobbing, etc., will find them not only a quick relief hut a radical cure.
