"In 189, he added, "I stumped the state for Bry an, and I told the people that prosper ity was impossible without the free ctiluage of silver. That was my slogan. But prosperity is here, and, although silver has appreciated some what, free coinage is still in the dim and distant future. I ant a republican Irom this out." Mr. Haldron Is presi dent of the Basin Gold and Copper Company, of Montana. ..The Astorian seriously favors send ing the Thirty-fifth regiment to Manila by way of Portland'. To do otherwise would be to indulge both a narrow and short-sighted spirit It is improbable that, any government transports will be loaded at Astoria, even if the gov ernment decides not to send them to Portland. To load transports at As. toria involves the haul of troops and cargo to Astoria. The A. & C. rail road evidently doesn't want this bus iness, or else sustains a relation to other roads which forbids it to handle 'It If no transports go to Portland, . .the troops will be taken from Van couver to Portland and there transfer red to Northern Pacific or Southern Pa iclflc trains for Seattle or San Fran cisco. If they take ship at Portland at least a pilot or two in Astoria will lie benefited, to say nothing of the chances that the transports may take -coal at this point, thereby leaving something out of the business to the laboring men of .Astoria who must be employed, to .handle the coal. It Is .truly a peculiar situation. The Van. icouver regiment will start for Manila -from a point but little over one hundred miles from the open sea at Astoria. Yet, the troops. are not permitted to .embark at Portland, they will be car ried several hundred miles out of their way by the Northern Pacific railroad to a transport in Puget sound, or nearly one .thousand .miles by the Southern Pacific to .San Francisco, If Astoria's xallroad wanted this business for it self or for Astoria some effort would be made to get .it. From ,very eastern .point where troops are gathered to be pent .to the Philippines, the war de partment is overwhelmed with tenders from railroads for their transportation, Here in the Northwest things are very different There. Is no competition among the railroads, even where one line has an advantage In. distance over another. Under some kind of com pact among them the business of this section is parceled out, and the basis of the whole arrangement seems to be to force transportation over the longest rail haul possible. To take a regiment of troops at a point but one hundred miles Inland from a seaport located on a straight line from their ultimate trans-ocean destination to ports north or south form that line and situated hundred of miles out of the way is a remarkable spectacle. Yet this is ex actly what we shall see If the Van couver troops are not embarked from Portland. From the utter uselessness of any effort Astoria can make to have the transports stop here, and consider ing the actual benefits which may ac crue from their loading in Portland, the Astorian thinks the people of As toria should at . least refrain from throwing further obstacles in the way of Portland's endeavors. Let Portland have the transports rather a hundred times rather than Seattle or San Francisco. THIS SOUTH AND THE WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES. The Clileajjo Times-Herald says a statement Is IrKcourse of preparation by Adjutant General Corbin in which It will be shown that of the contribu tions from the various state and ter rltoiles to the volunteer army the South has furnished more men in pro portion to population than the North has, and that more soldiers have en listed from Georgia than any state in the union. "No stronger proof of the thorough reconstruction of the South could possibly be furnished," says the Times-Herald. Whatever the people of the South may say concerning do mestic issue they are 'unquestionably loyal to the flag. Further commenting on the loyalty of the South and the popularity in that section of the Philippine war, the Times-Herald says: The war in the Philippines Is not looked upon in the South as a matter with which politics has any concern. The people of the South understand that the present administration is not responsible for it, and they are In nowise inclined to refrain front follow ing the flag simply because a republi can carries It forward. They remember that the South was eager for the war for the liberation of Cuba, and that the war in the Philippines la an un avoidable sequel to it They thought the war with Spain was Justified, and they did pot hesitate to do their share of the lighting. Now tbey are loyal enough and broad enough to see that the United States cannot afford to e- raerge from that war or any of its con sequences save with honor for Itself and respect for its flag wherever it may float The best sentiment of the south Is yoiced by the democratic Atlanta Con stitution, which says; . For the war and its results up to the present moment the democrats are as responsible as the republicans. They forced it on the party 1n power and compelled the administration to take steps to ret cue the Cubans from Span. Ish oppression. The war was begun for humanity, and if the people of the country have not concluded to change the character of our institutions and to make the flag stand for a policy for eign to our history, our traditions and our organic law, it will end as it be gun, in behalf of humanity, in behalf of the rights of man, in behalf of free dom and self-government Thus the philosophy of the situation is set forth in a paragraph. Is the freedom which we enjoy good enough fcr the Filipinos? Evidently the peo ple of the South believe it is. They themselves are satisfied with our form of government; they have faith in our institutions, and they are willing to risk their lives In keeping the flag free from the stains of dishonor. Theirs is a loyalty that rises above po litical quibbling; a loyalty that knows no questions of party policy; a .loyal ty that sees the flag planted upon the enemy's works and sweeps toward it! This i the . loyalty that insures the everlasting stability of the republic, and is the despair of the demagogue. r ,T pscap. ; p I yvuen a man naa acoanc Mto escape from prison hi Jdoer't stop to argue about ft it; he breaks out as quickly A as ever he can.

The weeks and months go on and every day his chance of escaping from the dungeon of disease grows smaller. The "Golden Medical Dis covery" originated by Dr JL V. Pierce, pf Buffalo, N.

I was severely afflicted with trouble Id niylungs spitting up blood, and was so weak I was unable to continue my work.
