THE GRECIAN GAMES.
The attention of lovers of ancient
history is centered upon Greece
where a revival of the Olympic
games, so famous in the days when
Hellas was the world, has been in
stituted. Not only to the student,
Irat to the desultory reader of his
tory, this event is of surpassing in
terest. Greece still charms the world with
stories of her past. Her hills and
valleys, her cities and groves, are
sacred places, hallowed by the pres
ence of men who, honored in their
day, still receive the homage of
countless admirers. Greece is but
a memory now, but a memory that
will linger as long as the clear blue
sky that inspired the poets of olden
times, stretches across the Mediterra
nean. The Olympic games which today
are being celebrated in classic lands
will bring to mind the departed
glories of a wonderful civilization.
In the contrast which the revived
games of 1896 will make with those
of ancient days, renowned in story,
no point is more vivid than that
made by the part, though ?mall,
taken by the American contestants.
Imagination pictures the contest of a
thousand years before our era, and
how from sculptured story every de
tail of costume will be faithfully
reproduced by the committee of ar
rangements. But who are these
coming among the sons of Athens
and of Corinth to claim a right to
try for the crown of olive, the
wreath of parsley or the garland of
pine leaves? "Barbarians from be
yond the gates" most Iru.'y. In
geographical position not more wide
ly different from the home of the
orginal strivers for the victory than
different in race, in customs and
manners, in everything that makes
life to the one who lives and strives
today. Get in common with these
those of American birth who will
run the race over that ground so rich
with memories of old. and claim equal
right 10 honor Iliac "glory which was
Greece."
The passage -by the house of rep
resentatives of the Cuban concurrent
resolutions revives interest in a
fiilject Hint culls forth the sympa
thies of the American people. Upon
which i-ide is the . right or wrong in
Hie piTS. nl ' struggle Tor Cuban in
uepeiKlonce there can be no qms
lion. The atrocities 'committed by
the Spaniards have done more to
strengthen the cause uf the insur
gents than all the uncertain victo
ries they Imve won. The world is
too far advanced in civilization to
countenance such cruelties as prac
ticed by the Spaniards. Govern
ments move slowly, but when once
set in motion by the force of public
opinion they yrill certainly take ac
tion to put an end to barbarisms
that have no place in the Nineteenth
century. That public opinion is
crystalized into feeling, of strong
sympathy for Cuba is undoubted.
Reduction in taxation is the great
boon for which the citizens of "Wasco
county are crying. Our county'g
indebtedness is far too high. The
annual interest charge is eating a
large portion of our income. High
taxes prevent the investment of cap
ital and are a drag to every legiti
mate business. How to reduce our
present indebtedness and secure a
lower rate of taxation, is a problem
which must be solved in the imme
diate future. This question is the
pressing one in the present cam
paign. Ex-President Harrison is to be
married today. As far as can be
learned, it is nobody's business but
his own and the lady who is to be
come his wife. So with the tomb
stone engraver we can say, "Be
quiescat in pace."
THE LOCKS AND THE RAILROAD
The Dalles Chronicle has a dispatch
from Hon. W. R. Ellis which says that
the senate resolution appropriating $20,
000 for immediate use at the Cascade
locks has just passed the house. As the
bill has passed both houses, all that
now reuiains is the president's signa
ture, which in this case is only a mat tar
of form. The whole amount will thus
be at once available, and it is supposed
that it will be used in completing the
works. If it is so expended there is no
reason for delaying the opening later
than the middle of May at the farthest.
As soon as the walls are Bomewhat above
the water the canal conld be used with
out danger. Work at present is almost
suspended as the riprapping is about
finished and the water ia too high for
the dredger to work. But there is no
use to speculate on the opening of the
locks. "It may be for years and it may
be forever." It is very easy for a scien
tific government engineer to iind some
thing that must be done before they can
be safely used, when a ereat railroad
corporation is at his back. Skamania

: The -readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,' and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. ' Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and -giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Ayer's Sarsapariila enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a ebowing of their
goodB, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of - the
world's fair authorities intavorof Ayer's
Sarsapariila was in effect as follows :
"Ayer's Sarsapariila is not j - patent
medicine. It does not belong' to- the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits."

bad spasms and was threatened with
pneumonia. His father gave him sev

Remedy, "which broke up the cough and
cured him. Mr. McFarland says when
