Cap tain Jack asked for a "peace talk," specifying that General Canby and his second In command, with three civilian commissioners, meet an equal number of savage leaders between the lines. Although warned by friendly Modocs, who know the secrets of the Indian councils, that It was a plot to massacre the leaders of the troops, Canby yield ed to the wishes of the peace men and accompanied the party. 1893 Cyclonic, storms In Kansas, Iowa, Ne braska and Illinois; many deaths. 1899 Formal proclamation by President McKtnley announcing the ratification of the treaty and .restoration, of peace with Spain. DEMOCRACY'S OPPORTUNITY. "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," let that be the war cry, and, with George E. Cham berlain as its candidate for governor, the democracy of Oregon will win victory at the polls in June. At no time for the past dozen years has It had a greater opportunity to prove its worth to the people and establish Itself in their confidences. The demo cracy can win, but It must stand for sjmlething, mean something by its professions, promise little, perform much. To win an empty victory, standing for no principle, desiring nothing but the ofllces, would not be a step in the right direction. It would signify simply a greed for offi ce, which Is the affliction from which the republican party suffers at the present time, and which the demo cracy can turn to account. That the people will respond to a Bincere summons to duty is shown by the Johnson movement in Ohio. In that state we see a man standing up almost alone,holding up the banner of democracy, rallying the people to his support and they come in hordes! Lo, nnd behold, he ran for mayor of Cleveland and was elected by a large vote, overcoming a 3000 repub lican margin. He pointed out what should be done in that city, in the in terest of good governmlent, economi cally administered, and set to work to accomplish it, and succeeded to so considerable an extent, against the combined powers of the corporations and the money dovll, aided by the re publican machine, that he has made himself an issue and the fight goes bravely on. He asked the people of Cleveland to elect the democratic candidates from their county to the legislature, and it was done, in spite of a republican majority and republi can money. The other day his cause was triumphant in a school election in that city, as well ns in the election of members of the city council. Tom Johnson is doing something in the name of democracy. He means some thing. Ho is building up the inter ests of tho people, and everywhere the cry is raised: "Well done, good nnd faithful servant." Out hero in Oregon we want work of tho Johnson kind. When victory comes at tho polls, wo want results to tho people to follow; wo want bet ter government, more equal taxation, less law and less burden of the ma chinery of the law; wo want the max Imum of liberty and the minimum of restraint to each individual; in short wo want good government economi cally carried on. And if tho people of Oregon oven surmised that good would follow the election of George E. Chamberlain to tho governor's chair nnd victory to tho democracy at tho polls, thoro would be no doubt" .about Chamber- In In 'a alnrtllnn 1. l .1 M spond to Its appeals, if they are niaJo in tho Bpirit 'that promises more io Oregon than can be obtained from the republican party, ns led by V.

Iain's election; ho would go into offi- co under an avalanche of votes In his favor and the very air would be charged with enthusiasm'. Dut until the people are confident on this point they will feel Inclined to leave well enough alono and cling to that oxis tence which goes under the name of tho republican party and which Is gradually -tumbling from Us high eata(?. The result in June depends upon the sincerity and ability of tho demo cracy, as 'led by George E. Chamber lain. The people will be quick to re- An article on Cecil Rhodes by "Wll llnm T. Stead will appear In the forth coming numbor of the Reviow of Re views. The article, excerpts irom which follow, consists of a frank, powerful explanation of Cecil Rrodes' views on American and Great Britain, and for the first time sets forth his Inmost alms. It was written by him self to W. D. Stead in 1890. In those days Mr. Stead was not only one of Mr. Rhodes' most intimate friends, as indeed he was until the last.but also his executor. Mr. Stead's name was removed from the list of trustees of Mr. Rhodes' will only because of the war which forced the two men into such political oposition. Of this epl sode Mr. Stead says: "Mr. Rhodes action was only natural and from an administrative point of view, desir able, and it in no way affects my at titude as political confidant in all that related to Mr. Rhodes' world wide -policy." In its three columns of complex sentences, the whole pnnosopny oi Mr. Rhodes' international and indi vidual life is embraced. Perhaps it can be best summarized as an argu ment in favor of the organization of a secret society on the lines of the Jesuit order for the promotion of peace and welfare of the world, and the establishment of an American British federation, with absolute home rule for the component parts. "I am a bad writer," Mr. Rhodes says in one part of what he calls his confession, "but through my ill-con nected sentences you can trace the lay of my ideas, and you can give my idea the clothing that is necessary." But Mr. Stead wisely refused to edit or dress it up, saying, "I think the public would rather have these rough, hurried and somewhat ungram- matical notes exactly as Mr. Rhodes scrawled them off, rather than have them supplied with literary clothing by anyone else." Mr. Rhodes commenced by declar ing that the '"key" to his idea for tho development of the English speaking race was the foundation of a "society, copied as to organization from the Jesu ts." "Combined with the differential rate and a copy of tho constitution of the United States" wrote Mr.Rhodes, is home rule or federation." An or ganization formed on these lines in the house of commons, constantly working for decentralization and not wasted time on trivial questions rais ed by "Dr. Tanner, of the matter of O'Brien's breeches," would Mr. Rhodes believed, soon settle the all important question of the market for the product of the empire. "Tho la bor question, he wrote, "is important, but that is deeper than labor." America, both in its possibilities of alliance and its attitude of com mercial rivalry, was apparently ever present in Mr. Rhodes mind. "The world with America in tho forefront," he wrote,, "is devising tariffs to boy cott your manufacturers. This is the supreme question. I believe that England, with fair play, should manu facture for the world, and being a free trader, I believe that until tho world comes to its senses, you should declare war, I mean a commercial war, with those trying to boycott your manufacturers. That is my program. You might finish tho war by a union with America and univer sal peaco after a hundred years." But toward this millennium Mr. Rhodes believed that tho most pow erful factor would bo "a secret so ciety, organized like Loyola, support ed by the accumulated wealth of those whoso aspiration Is a desire to do something" and who are spared the hideous annoyances" dally created by the thought as to which "of their Incompetent relations" thoy should leave their fortune. These wealthy people, Rhodes thought, would thus bo greatly relieved and be able to turn "their ill-gotten or inherited gnlns to some advantage." electricity, and in view of their enor mous increase, . they must now be trrilned to "view the world as a whole and not only to consider the social questions of the British Isles. Even a Labouchere, who possesses no senti ment, should be taught that the la borer of England is dependent on the outside world, which, if he does not look out, will boycott the result of British labor." Once again the personal feelings of the main crop out. "They are call ing tho now country Rhodesia," he wrote. "I find I am human and would like to be living after my death. Still, perhaps, if that name is coupl ed with the object of England every where, it would convey the discovery of an Idea which ultimately led to the elimination of all wars, to one lang- uaue throughout the world, the patent belnc the cradual absorption of wealth and human minds to the ob ject." Dealing with the sacred duty of the English-speaking world of taking the responsibility for the still uncivilized world, and commenting upon the ne cessary departure from tho map of such countries as Portugal, Persia and Spain, "who are found wanting," Mr. Rhodes said: "What scope! What a horizon of work for the next two centuries for the best energies of the best people in the world." On the matter of tariffs Mr. RLjdes was characteristically positive. "I note," he wrote, "with satisfaction that the committee appointed to in quire into the McKinley tariff reports that in certain articles our trades have fallen off 50 per cent. Yet the fools do not see that if they don't look out they will have England shut out and isolated, with 90,000,000 to feed and capable of internally sup porting about 6,000,000. If they had a statesman thoy would at the pres ent moment be commercially at war with the United States and would have boycotted the raw products of the United States until she came to her senses, and I say this because I am a free trader. Your people have not known their greatness. They possess one-fifth of the world and don't know it is slipping away from them. They spend their time in dls cussng Mr. Parnell and Dr. Tanner, the character of Sir Charles Dilke, compensation for beer-houses and omne hoc genius. Your supreme question at present is the seizure of the labor vote for the next election. Read the Australian bulletins and see where undue pandering to the labor vote may lead you. But at any rate, the eight-hour question is not possible without a union of the Eng lish speaking world; otherwise you drive your manufacturers to Belgium, Holland and Germany, just as you have placed a lot of cheap shipping trade in the hands of Italy by your stringent shipping regulations."

Oregon people have failed to realize, the fact that eastern Oregon is the largest mining district in the world. But such it has been declared to be by one of the most eminent mining engineers in the world, Professor Herbort Bartlett.
