The people all over the county are
asking, Where did the money of that
Athena mill go? Surely, it is gone,
a large amount, that was not lost in
the business.
The companies that are insuring
men and women against catching
and dying -of small ,pax in England
are said to be making "dead loads"
of money, as the small pox scare ex
ists all over .the empire. It is a busi
ness "wrinkle that has not reached
this side of the Atlantic, but a Yan
kee is said to have started the move
ment in London.
Russia's "open door" in Manchuria
was of that kind that was to open to
Russin on greased hinges and to oth
ers on rusty ones, but England's
treaty and compact with Japan is ex- j
rough and tumble engagement that i
the lion and the bear will have a
rough and tumble engagement that
promises to shake the crowned heads
when it is pulled off.
Are Pendleton's streets to be sprink
led by the city this summer? That is
a question that should be answered
as soon as possible. The dust has
already begun to blow. A sprinkling
wagon is a civilizing influence on
wheels. The East Oregonian wants
to see them all over Pendleton. They
are worth all they cost, more by far
than some other things that the city
spends money on.
The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union of Newark, N. J spent
hours in special prayer that Bishop
Henry C. Potter mighty see the error
of his ways on the temperance ques
tion. Bishop Potter is accused of be
ing too liberal on the saloon question,
having been credited with the state
ment that they are the poor man's
club. Bishop Potter is a man of rea
son and one who looks at things from
a practical standpoint. His views
are not to be narrowed down to the
illiberal standpoint of those who look
at things from the standpoint of bit
terness and prejudice, without regard
to things as they are and without tak
ing into consideration that it requires
all kinds of people to make up the
world, and when they are all of the
same opinion, mankind and things
that pertain to them, will no longer
exist.
Captain McCook, of army connec
tion, Is charged with having obtained
, , , l .4,
under false pretense, and spent with
those largely from whom ne ontameu
it, a sum about the size of ?50. He
is In jail under the charge and may
bo convicted and serve a term in pris-
on for the crime. While this is hap-
penlng, a man, who had charge of an
industry lu this county, got away
with about ?20,000 or ?25,000 o other
people's money, for which he can
make no proper accounting, and all
charges are dismissed against him, on
the ground that there is nothing of a
criminal nature against him. The
East Oregonian Is not .apologizing for
Captain McCook or making his crime
less than it Is, but it does appear that
tho net of the law should have small
er meshes so that all may bo caught,
and the punishment made to fit tho
crime in all cases, as near as human
justice can be administered.
At a woman's club In Chicago tho
other day here was a discussion on
tho question whether the men should
bo admitted to membership in the
club, and one lady said: "I don't ob
ject to men. I may havo reasons for
not marrying one of thorn, but none
for Bhuttlng thorn out of clubs and '
discussions." Another woman was In'
favor of admitting them, and said,
Men are good things." A third mem
ber advised, "Let the men come In
nnd pay the dues, take part In the dis
cussions, arrange the tea tables and
receive the ladles, but don't let them
vote." At the conclusion of the dis
cussion one man was elected to mem
bership, and now It remains to be
seen whether he will prove anv;xainp
le of warning or a model whose ex
emplary conduct will open the door
for many another who wishes the pri
vilege of paying the dues, arranging
tea tables and passing out when a
vote is taken. One thing seems to be
certain, if the women had as much
power as the men have under exist
ing conditions and the men had less,
the men would not be as well treated
as the women are b the men at the
present time.
TOPICS OF THE TIME.
The following articles are from
"Collier's Weekly's" editorial page:
The treaty concluded getween Eng
land and Japan puts an end to the
state of things which has existed in
the far east since the czar forced the
Mikado to renounce a part of the
fruits of conquest and to give back to
China the Liau Tung Peninsula,
which, presently, was ceded to the
mediator. From that time until re
cently the iniluence of Russia has
been preponderant in the court of Pe
kin, and, but for the death of Li Hung
Chang, the czar would probably have
extorted the assent of the Empress
Regent to a convention which would
have made him practically master of
Manchuria. Now that the compact
between England and Japan Is known,
China need no longer be haunted by
dread of her northern neighbor. On
its face, indeed, the new treaty is
i not threatening but defensive. It
reoncnizes that both Enclnntl and
!,,, ,,v niTinrt!,f tnt-msta in
Manchuria and Corea, and asserts the
right of either country to interpose
for their preservation, should they be
menaced by a third power. If, in the
exercise of that right, one jaf the con
tracting parties should find itself
confronted by more than one hostile
power, the other contracting party
promises to assist it. Let us apply
the great principle to the partlcalar
case which the negotiation of the
treaty undoubtedly had in mind. So
far as Manchuria and Corea are con
cerned, the interests of Japan and
Russia are conlllcting, if not essen
tially irreconcilable. When the in
evitable quarrel occurs, it must ac
cording to the now treaty, be a duel
between Russia and Japan; the naval
assistance of her French .ally, upon
which Russia has hitherto counted,
must not be furnished, for If it is, tho
far superior force of the British fleet
will be thrown on tho side of Japan.
The Anglo-Japanese treaty is, of
course, meant to operate as a bar to
Russian hopes of expansion south of
the Amur river. There seems to be
an agreement of expert opinion that
for some time to come Russia will be
unable to cope single handed with
Japan, either as a land power or as
a sea power, Not until the roadbed
of the Siberian railroad has been
reconstructed and tho present sin
gle track replaced with a double
track, will It be possible to place at
the eastern end of Asia a Russian
force commensurate with the
strength of the Japanese army. As
regards naval operations, also, Rus
sia is, and must remain at a great
disadvantage, because one of her na
val stations, Vladlvostock, Is only
open during part of the year, and di
rect communication between it and
Port Arthur may be at any hour ob
structed by Japan. What the St.
Petersburg statesmen had hoped for
i was that, before the unavoidable con
test with Japan should come, tho Si
berian railway might be rendered en
tlrely fit for military purposes, and
quick communication between the
Will I. XV V. W 4A1 Ul UlltUllUU MVib1TWrfU tMV
Q nayal stat,onR on the padflc
t mght bo secure,i hy the acquisition
i of a third port on the southeastern
corner of Corea. The chance of ob
taining a Corean harbor is now ex-
tinmifalipd and It la nnllkfilv that
the japanese wm givo the Russians
time to reconstruct the Siberian rail
way. The Mikado's subjects fully
understand that a fight with Russia
must be faced, and that tho sooner
it is faced the better.
Speaking the other day at Liver
pool, Lord Rosebery expressed tho
opinion htat It might havo been an
act of wisdom on tho part of tho Sal
isbury government to give tho Boor
delegates a safe conduct to South
Africa for tho purpos of arranging
terms of peace with the Boer com
manders in the field. What he meant
was, doubtless, that tho sooner tho
huge British force now occupied In
smothering tho embers of resistance
In tho Transvaal nnd Orange Free
Stato should bo placed at tho disposal
of the home government for other
objects, tho better it may for tho
safety of tho British empire. When
ho spoke there was no cloud on tho
International horizon, but there Is
reason to think that tho Anglo-Japan-eso
treaty has brought ono. Now that
Russia's aspirations havo boon block
ed In tho Far East, as they were
blocked In the Near East In the Crl
mean wnr and at the Berlin congress,
It will not bo strange If the thoughts
of the czar's advisers run to revenge.
So long, Indeed, as the British fleet
shall be backed by the Japancso
army, British Interests cannot be
injured on the eastern coast of Asia.
Elsewhere, however, under -the exist
ing circumstances, England is pecu
liarly assailable. It Is dlfllcult to
conceive of a conjuncture In which
Great Britain would bo less capablo
or coping with tho Franco-Russlnn
league than shenow Is in certain por
tions of the globe. If a Russian army
should be forthwith directed agnlnst
India, and,' simultaneously, a French
expeditionary force he landed In
Egypt, It is hard to see how England
could resist the double attack, now
that her military strength Is almost
wholly occupied In dealing with her
South African opponents. Where
could she procure tho reinforcements
which her generals on the Indus and
the Nile would certainly require?
Tho truth Is that when England
signed the treaty which rescued Ja
pan from Insular Isolation and tolled
the death-knell of the Moscovlte ex
pansion In Eastern Asia, she delib
erately threw down the gauntlet to
the czar. She. will have no right to
be surprised If the czar concludes to
pick it up.
It is just as well to reflect that, un
less congress reduces the duty on
Cuban sugar and tobacco before Ap
ril, when the Insular government, or
ganized under the Cuban Constitu
tion, is to go into effect, Sonor Es
trada Palma may refuse to accept
the presidency to which he has been
elected. In that case the chances
are that the island would lapse into
civil war and anarchy. Wo can
shield Cuba from bankruptcy without
wronging any of our own citizens, if
congress will make a considerable
reduction on the duty on Cuban si;
gar, and, at the same time, grant to
our own beet sugar and Louisiana
cane sugar Industries a bounty ex
actly equivalent to the favor confer
red upon the Cuban producers of the
saccharine staple. In that event, not
only would a debt of honor be paid,
but It would be paid by the real
debtor, to wit the American people,
instead of being shunted on a small
fraction thereof, that is to say, the
fraction engaged in the production of
native sugars.
We are not accustomed to the ex
hibition of gross ignorance of his
tory of foreign countries. by members
of tho house of representatives. We
do expect them, however, to know
something about persons who have
played conspicuous parts in the his
tory of the United States. The other
day, when Mr. Wheeler of Kentucky
saw fit to criticise the elaborate pre
parations making for the reception of
Prince Henry of Prussia, Mr. Gros
venor, of Ohio, undertook to crush
him by asking whether, at the time
when LaFayette came to this country
bearing the commission of the king
of France, ho would have overruled
the action of George Washington in
sending a commission to meet him.
Mr. Wheeler, we are told, seemed daz
ed by the inquiry, and we are not
surprised, for a more stupendous ex
hibition of ignorance than that made
by Mr. Grosvenor was never made in
the capitol. If Mr. Grosvenor pos
sessed a schoolboy's knowledge of the
facts he would have known ihat when
Lafayette came to this country In
1777, he not only bore no commission
from the king of France, but had dif
ficulty in escaping from those who
wished to prevent his departure. The
only commission the he received was
one such a volunteer deserved, to-
wlt, the commission of major-general
in the Continental army, conferred
by the Continental congress. Again,
when Lafayette camo to this country
in 1824 he bore no commis3io't irom
the then reigning sovereign of
.France, Charles X., who had good
cause to distrust him, but came as a
private citizen of France in response
to an invitation of congress, which,
in consideration of his services in the
Continental army, had voted him a
grant of two hundred thousand dol
lars and a township of land.

CATARRH
A Constitutional Affection; I
Sprays, washes, powders, salves, medicated
tobacco nnd cigarettes, however long and persistently
used, do not cure Catarrh. They relieve temporarily
the inflammation in the throat and nose, and enable
you to breathe more easily and freely, but the con
tinual rush of impure blood to these parts keeps up
the irritation and ultimately produces ulceration of
the glands, when the breath becomes exceedingly
offensive and the soft bones of the nose ore frequently
.Uctmifail Tim Mtnrrlinl itiflnmmntinn extends over
the entire surface of the mucous membrane, or inner skin ; the stomach, kidneys
and lungs are often involved; the whole system soon becomes affected by the rapid
ubsorption of poisonous matter into the blood, and the disease that you had hoped
to cure with simple local remedies, assumes a dangerous form.

Catarrh is a constitutional disease a blood disease which is frequently
inherited, and only a blood medicine, such as S. S. S., can remove the hereditary
taint, destroy the poisons that have been accumulating in the system (pr years
perhaps, and restore the blood to a healthy and pure condition. The inflamed
membranes nnd diseased glands are healed by the rich, pure blood which is earned
to them, and the offensive discharges from the nose, and the terrible headache and
neuralgic pains cease. Chronic cases of the most desperate character and apparent
