Tfe3 Dalles Daily Ghronieie. SCBSCRIPTION FKICJS. One week , ? . 15 One month 50 One year 6 00 JFKIDAY - - JANUARY 20. 1899 As the highest officer in ihe army Gen. Miles has not maintained its ; best traditions, nor are tbe unpleas ant incidents in which he is involyed entirely the result of the shortcom ings of others. He has been un guarded in what he said and the manner of saying it to a surprising degree, and, on the whole, irascible and aggressive in his treatment of of ficers he dislikes. The country has not been able to see that Gen. Miles deserved the further promotion sought at the beginning of the war nor any occasion for it now. Turbulent quarrels are a poor sub stitute for successful campaigns. It would have been enough for Gen. Hiles to testify that he believed cer tain beef furnished the army was bad. He preferred the contemptu ous phase "embalmed beef," and other instances might be given of a sensational tendency. It is to be hoped that the next -ranking officer of the army will be a man of more poise and broader qualities. Globe Democrat. The classiflcation of the convicts in the Oregon penitentiary as-to '"re ligion" will be read with some curios ity. Of the total number, 322, over cne-balf subscribe to a religious creed. The Catholics lead wiih 55, or nearly one third of the entire num ber, while the Salvation Army has but one to its credit, or discredit. Lutherans, Methodists and Presby terians ruu an even race in this clas sification, while in the next lower scale come the baptists, Christian Scientists, Episcopalians . and Jews these being practically on a level. The presentment is a novel one, but its study reveals nothing new. The nomination of Chauncey M. Depew by the Republicans for sena tor, which insures his election, means that New York is going to be repre sented in the upper branch of con gress for the next few few years by a man who will renew some of the tra ditions of the best days of the Empire state in politics. As an orator Mr. Depew will be the equal of an' man who has served in the senate in re cent years. In acquaintance with public issues and in his standing and influence in his party he wil! have no superior in either branch of con gress. Intellectually Depew is the largest man who has been In the sen. ate from his state since Conkling He will be a creditable successor to Wright, Dickinson, Dix, Seward, Pish, Morgan, Fenton and the other first-class men whom New York has at different times chosen to the. sen ate. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of tbe ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional reined ies Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation cau be taken oat and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever ; nine cases put of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cared by Hall's Catarrh Cure. .Send for circulars; -free. F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, O.

The "slave -mart," judging from an article in the Cape Times, appears to be -definitely established in. Cape Town, says the London Chronicle. Ttie slaves, ef course, are the Bechuana prisoners, and although there is no suggestion that these wretched creatures are treat ed with, harshness while in the gov- ernment care, they are clearly consid- i ered and disposed of precisely as if they "were mere bales of goods or cat tle. Careful watch and "ward is kept over them and the writer says that "it is not easy to pass the strict guard at the gate unless you are a farmer coming to pick your labor. Round three sides of the square court yard men and women are squatting im passively or standing' chattering in knots. They axe ill-clad and exceeding ly ill-favored, but not ill-nourished, like the first batch of skeletons that came 3own to town. A cihild here and there s even bonny. There is no very obvi dus dejection. The nearest to it is a moody, passive look." The farmers, too, quite enter into the spirit of the "slave mart." They go round the market scanning the men. and "sorting out those of the largest size," as did the walruB and the car penter with the oysters. The natives cast expressionless, sidelong glances at their possible masters while 'they are being appraised like goods in a store. Having selected one or two from a group, the fanmer is chagrined at be ing told by a harried, official: "We can not break this lot for you," as if the knot of negroes were a dinner service or a suite of bedroom furniture. Back goes the farmer and looks the natives up and dawn again, and at length de cides "to take the lot." When the na tives are duly indentured for five years their master unhitches his cart and mules, outside,, bundles ihis "labor" in and drives his bargain home. THE BULLDOG A GOOD DOG. Vet We Do Not Care to Take Liber. ties Tvith One. !Ho member of the canine family has been more jpertsisten'tly maligned than. the bulldog. Writers who have no inti mate knowledge of the dog and his at tributes have described him as stupidly ferocious, and illustrators have pic tured him as a sort of semi-wild beast, til the general public has come to look upon, him as dangerous,, says Outing. "Give a dog a bad name," is an old saw and perhaps a true one, but when it is applied to the bulldog, it is manifest ly unjust. Writers, too, have fallen into grave error, in claiming" that the bull dog is deficient not only in affection, but ini intelligence. No greater proof of the falsity of the latter could- be' given than was wit nessed at the late Westminister Ken nel club's dog show, when Col. Shults exhibited his trained dogs, with, tbe bulldog Nick performing; all sorts of wonderful feats, especially that of walking a tight rope, and, when in the center of it, turning round end retrac ing his steps, amid tbe applause of an admiring audience. Stonehenge, who is considered one of the greatest of canine scientists, claims that the bulldog's brain, is relatively larger than that of the spaniel, which, dog -is generally considered to be the most intelligent of the canine race, while the bulldog's affection is never to be doubted.
