f2) The Dalles Daily Ctoniele, The only Republican Daily Newspapei . n Wasco County. MONDAY. DEO. 28. 1896 EASTERN OFFICE 230 to 234 Temple Court, N. Y. City. E. KATZ, Agent. If the next legislature is as eco nomical as the people seem to desire it to be, there will be but few clerks and when it adjourns there will be no more commissioners left. The railroad commission will probably be the first to go, and it is possible the term of the supreme court at Pendle ton may be discontinued. It was only established there by the legisla ture to dodge the requirements of the constitution and pay the supreme judges $1,500 per year more than the salary allowed them under the con stitution. The decision of the su preme court that all state institutions must be located at Salem may possi bly apply to the supreme court. Only three more days in which to decide upon just what to swear off on. It is one of the features of the season that something must be sworn off, and soon after sworn on again. The eld pipe that has doDe such yeoman service will be laid away for two or three days, or perhaps a week, but it need not .flatter itself that it is to retire from business. Its wreaths of smoke will soon be seen again, and the Samsonian fragrance of its bowl will perfume the air long before the cherry blooms - get their work in. Its the same way with other things, for good resolutions are easy to make, and much more easy to break. Rivera seems to- be a worthy suc cessor to Maceo, his first engage ment with the Spaniards resulting in a decisive victory. From . present indications the war will be prolonged indefinitely, or at least until Spain exhausts her resources, or this coun try intervenes. Spain, it is said, will offer a settlement on the basis of giving Cuba autonomy, allowing her to elect her own congress, Spain still appointing the captain general. This offer a year ago might have been ac cepted, but it is not likely it will meet with favor among Cubans now. With them it is all or nothing:. It is really too bad that such open weather as we are having is beinr allowed to pass by without a dia mond drill being on its way down to our coal beds. Let us get a move on and see' what can be found. With The Dalles at the head of nav igation, and with a good vein or two of coal, no city on the coast would compare with her. She is way yonder ahead of most ot them now, but with good coal mines she would be "out of sight." General Weyler says that "when the Cubans begin to come in and surrender in large crowds, then the balance will soon come in and sur render all at once. If the cap tain general had not given so much publicity to the fact that surrender meant torture and murder, he might have done something with the non combatants. Most people, though, . would as soon take their chance of being hanged as to surrender and be burned. Skamania county possesses some very valuable mines, or at least the people down at Stevenson think so. There was quite an excitement last fall over the discovery of gold-bear ing quartz, an excitement that has not died out yet, but which contin ues in spite of snow, rain and cold We hope our friends down that way will not be disappointed, but wo must confess to a lack of f faith in Cascade mountain quartz claims. There is an epidemic of buglary in Portland, said epidemic commencing about the time the gang had burgled its way across thefjstate from Cali fornia. It is not probable the bold gang will go around Eastern tDregon, it being much more probable it will go . through it. In time of peace prepare for war, and in times like these prepare for a visit from the bold burglar. " The commander of one of Uncle Sam's warships is credited with the following declaration : "If the United States government will give me per mission to turn loose on Havana, there won't be anything but Spanish spoken in hell in the next two months. . The people of some parts of New Jersey, as well as those of the United States, 1 are ardent Cuban sympa thizers, and recently TVeyler was hanged in effigy. On a Sturgeon Book. Walter Klindt met with an accident while sturgeon fishing this morning, that he can congratulate himself on not being more serious. He was hauling in his lines, on whieh were' several large sturgeon, when 'he slipped and tell. One of the big hooks caught in the mus cles of his leg, just about the bottom of his pocket and was palled its fall depth into the fleeh. With great presence of mind he seized a butcher knife lying handy, and cut the book from the line. He came to town today about noon, and Dr. Logan pinched the eye off the hook and pulled it around and through the flesh point forenoet. OPERA HOUSE ONE NIGHT ONLY, TPPflY, DEGEJ1EH 31. PRODUC TION.
