Th3 Dalles Daily Chronicle. FRIENDSHIP DEMONSTRATED SCBSCBIFTIOS riUCE. One week $ 15 Odc month 50 One year 6 00 WEDNESDAY - DECEMBER 21, 1898 n ET3 ' During the ensuing session of legis lature a law should be enacted render ing it more difficult and less profitable for pawnbrokers to do business, with thieves. As it now is if a detective finds stolen property in a pawn broker's shop in the greater nu&ber of instances the owner is compelled to reimburse the pawnbroker in the eum he has advanced the pawning thief ere he can recover his own "Why, even the dectective advises the victim to make goo J the broker's outlav. else the broker will, in the - future, conceal all "suspicious" prop ert' and ruin the detective's busi ness. This has been the custom here for many years, but there is no reason why it should be perpetuated. There is no sense in forcing a victim of a theft to reimburse the unlawful cus todian of his property for the money he has loaned a thief on it. The law should make it mandatory upon the lender of money on personal property to satisfy himself beyond a question of doubt that the borrower is the rightful owner of the property he wishes to hypothecate. If a question f title then arises, the lawful owner cannot be called upon to settle the thief's score. No man ever lends money on real estate without search ing the title to it of the would-be borrower. Why, .then, should not this practice hold good in making loans on personal propert? By passing a law holding pawnbroker's personally liable for stolen goods in their possession they will be more prudent in the entertainment of their clientage and it will tend to reduce the volume of crime. Telegram. Filibustering Expedition Being Prepared to Go to Aguinaldo's Aid Sup pressed at Hong Kong. Chicago, Dec. 20,-i-A Washington special says : Great Britain has given another strik ing example of her friendship for the United States, and at the same time has taken action which is looked v;pon in the light of recognition of the s-.-vor- eignty of the United States ov i. the Philippines. A filibustering exi'-i.iition organized to go to the support of tisuin aldo has been suppressed at Hons; Kong by order of the British authorities. This information came to the depart ment a few days ago in a cablegram from Consul-General Wildman, and has just been made public. The reason for keeping the information secret was that the department wished to ascertain if possible the source of the expedition and who was responsible for the organ ization of it. Conenl-General Wildman, so far as can be learned, has not yet been able to get those details. READ EVERY ARTICLE. Mr. Bryan no sooner finds himself in a talking suit of clothes than he avails himself of a highly valued privilege. His remarks on expansion are not as free from contradiction as might lie desired, but this is character istic of Democratic remarks on the subject. Mr. Bryan does not advise a fight against the treaty. He would vote for it, $20,000,000 and all, and tbea manage to retire from the Phil ippines on some sort of conditions, retaining only a coaling station. He would turn even Porto Rico into a republic if the inhabitants insisted on it. He desires it to be understood that this country can never, without self destructiou, hold territory on a colonial tenure. It may well be asked how Mr. Bryan, with such con victions, can be willing to allow the treaty to go through. The best time to nip national and constitutional Tuin is in the bud. The treaty is an expansion document. But when brought face to face with a practical question the Democratic plan fre quently is to fall back to another line of works. Mr. Bryan knows that if be opposed the treaty he would be a used-up politician. Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is the uee of making a better article than your competitor, ii you can not get a better price for it? Ans. As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, bo that while our profits may be smaller on a single scale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? Ii both articles are brought prominent ly before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Cham berlain's Cough remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon.
