WASHINGTON; D. C. April ii
So much to-do has been made about
the so-called 1Pnerto Rico outrage"
that c will see what is proposed. That
;land is suffering from the devastating
hurricane tliat I destroyed crop and
home and left fhem fnosty destitute.
Tens of thousand would start e - only
that -we are sending them food to keep
them alive. They 'have no money .to
pay taxes, io make toads or to support
cbools and maintain -local government.
The intention was to give them free
trade, as the 'President- recommended.
1ut prevented by the necessity for meet
ing these expense !'
The last sugar jand tobacco crops
have been boug"ht;and are held for the.
trusts, who will profit by free trade as
they bought subject to the full tariff.
The small tariff of 15 per cent; to be
co'rlected -ogethef with -all that has
been collected since we owned the is
land 1 to be returned- as a 'fund 10
pay 'expense $orj two years at most.
'until they can raise icrops. and free
trade may corrte j sooner ii ibe island
government j shall j meantime be estab
lished. ;- j i : i
Congress is acting fairly and kindly
by Puerto iRic4, but j the; trusts won't
even consent to have one-seventh, of
the tariff deducted from tit purchase
price, that deducted the existing tariff..
This, is what Deniocracy is trying to
make capital out; of. j
Congress Iim recently' paid a high
compliment to Commissioner Her
mann by ordering tbe republication of
his interesting book on the Ixmisiana
Purchase, that w as published last year.
The motion introduced' in the House
1y Mr. Jones, .jot" Washington, was fa
vorably reported by Boering. of Ken
tucky, and passed unanimously Sena
tor Harris introduced the same in the
Senate: it was reported favorably by
Platr. of Connecticut, and passed with
ot dissent. ; '..:'.
The country will greet with approba
tion the decision 01 the Senate against
rhc admission of W. A. Clark, as sena
tor from -'Montana. The use of money
in senatorial elections will hereafter be
o:id!- "sat down on" by the Senate.
At the same time tbere is much person
' af gotnl feeling toward Mr. Clark: the
Senators who j refuse him admis-sion
will not" regret! to see him legally re
turned in the near future.
Thkre is tacit agreement that no Riv
er and Harlror bill shall pas at t Jits
term, but the Oregon delegation feel
the need to have the improvements at
the mourh of the Columbia kept in
order- and extended to preserve what
has so greatlyi akied navigation. On
Tuesday (April roth) Senator McBride
and Representative Moody appeared
before the Rivjer and Harbor Commit
tee of the House, of which Mr. Tongue
is a mcrr-ber. when Air. McBride' ad
dressed the committee as to the- im
portance of the proposed amendment
to the sundry i.ivH bilL .to appropriate
$.50O.ooo for t e Columbia River work.
It may not be possible to get that
: amount now. but tney hope for some
thing substantial. ' : '
The. new financial act has- already
met with a most rcrrrarkable response
from all parts oi the nation. . It pro
vides for-national bank - with only half
the amo'mt of rpital before required,
-nd on rhc bor.dS to be deposited notes
for the full amount are to be issued.
This wi'l encoairagc the establishing of
national bank where they, could not
organise before. ; will greatly in
crease circulation and facilitate
business. Already, there are hun
dreds of applications for char
ters ThU.will give confidence in re
ptrhlican policy! When it comes to
practical. business, sense, tbe republican
party has shown it- afway.
Dewey returned from the Philip
iinc as near a popular idol as. human
ity often gets.j The people were ready!
to do Inm 'honor andt endowed htm
with their uri mitigated delight; also
with a ho, tie here in Waiir.gton. When

Since he "had Ian ovation at the South

PNEUMONIA
CURE.
New England Physician) Never Lost a
Patient When He Used It.
In view of the. prevalence of pneu
monia to such an alarming extent, and
the many deaths resulting therefrom.
I send you the following for publica
tion: Take six to tem onions, according
to size, and chop fine put in a large
spider over a hot fire: then add aloit
the same quantity of rye meal, and
vinegar enough; to make it a thick
pate.
In the meanwhile stirj ft thoroughly,
letting it simmer five fir ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs, "nnd j apply it to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When it gets cool apjly another, and
thus continue by re-heating the poul
tices. In a few hours the patient will
be out of danger. j
This simple remedy ha-s ruever faiTed
in this too often; fatal malady.
Usually three or four a-pplications
will be sufficient, but continue always
until presiperation starts freely from
the chest.
This simple remedy lwa formulated
many years ago by one of the best
physicians New England has ever
known, who never lost a patient by this
disease, and won Jiw renown by sav
ing patients by simple remedies after
the best melical talent had pronounced
their case hcpeless.
Personally we know- of three personr
who were saved by the remedy last
winter in -Boston, after their physicians
had given them up to die. and if a
record was ' mak of all similar cases
during the last ix years it would fill
agood-sized volume. New York Sun.
ANOTHER BRAVE DEWEY.
Now. when the nation rings wit'h the
name of Dewey, the exploit of Cap
tain Sanvuel Dewey, iof Massachusetts,
should have place among our sailor
yans. Benjamin Periey Poore, in bis
"Reminiscences." givts an account ot
the capture of the figurehead of An
drew Jatrkson from the ship Constitu
tion by this daring young mariner. It
appears when "the solid men of Bos
ton" ascertained that General Jfackson
actually signed the orderfor the re
moval of deposits from the Bank of
the United States while enjoying their
hospitality, fhey were j very angry, and
soon after, on learning that the United
States frigate Constitution, a Boston
built vessel, which was being repaired
at the Chadestown Navy ; Yard was to
be ornamented with a fuH-lengrh fig
ure of General Jackson, they regarded
it as an insult. !
The carver was ordered to stop ni
work: this he declined to do, and had
the hall"-finihed block of wood moved
to the navy yard, where his work wac
completed' under the protection of a
guard of marines. When the : figure
bead was completed and fastened to
the cutwater of the Constitution she
was hauled to her anchorage and a
vessel. stationed as a guard on either
side of her. The indignation of the
Bostonians had now reached fighting
pitch, and Captain Dewey determined
the head should come down. Late ont
nigftt, during a violent storm, be
dropped into a rowboat and started for
the vessel. All was dark except when
lightning shot across! the sky. illumin
ing the fliarbor and guiding Dewey to
the Constitution. f r
Making fast his bxat to the bow of
the vessel, he climl9ed up. orotccted
by some headboards j left there the lay
"before. A sharp saw soon did ?h
work, and an hour laltcr Dewey entered
the door of Gallagljcr's . Hotel, where
a party of friends', anxiously awaited
him. bearing aloft tJHie grim visage of
Andrew Jackson. Uproarious . shouts
greeted him. and he at once became the
lion of the Whigs. Commodore Elliot,
though frantic wieh j rage over the in
sult offered his chief!, was powerless to
do anything. Soon after Dewey went
to Washington, taking his trophy with
him where it a passed around among
the "leading Whigs. SFinally be called

COLT AFRiMD OF HORSE$.
Brought Up by Human Befngs and
iAffrightetli by .His Own 'Kind.
Tliis is a biography of a .colt who
was afraid of horses: ;t
He -was born on an Iowa -firm, and
when only a day .old kht ;h -mothei-by
death. iThe famter determined to
save the life of "the babe if possible, so
the w hole family turned - to i'-n ef
fort to accomplish his and make, of
the colt a good and useful horse,
fli rr-M "tii r.1 frkrwt --tH firs?
fthitvg to be overcome. " . As a' result
the colt was taught to drink, i. A basin
of warm milk wa place' before' him.
! tn farmer thrust a finger mto.tne Huil
I ? iat be tip proKoteu shghUv. above
-!hf rface. PromptecLby ; instinct the
I infant'. seized this t:p betweew his hps
j ' ckrd vigorously. GraduaUy
the finger-rip was lowered until the
colt was actually drinking. .( After a
few les.ons he ascertained that this
was a fine way by which to get nour
ishment. J. . , S
'lie waxed in bulk and j" strength.
Constantly thrown in close association
with human beings, he regarded then
as hi natural mates. He followed, the
men and women and the children about
the farm, from place to place, tread
ing right on their heels and often on
their toes. He was bound to take up
quarters in the houe: soon he was
wise enough to lift the larcb of the
back door with his nose, ami would
walk into the kitchen, creating havoc
wjth his tail and his ungainly hoof:..
He was very awkward.
And he was afraid of a horse! II
seemed not to know that' he himself:
was but a horse, ami that all his rela
tives were horses, lust . as quick as a
horse approached him he would run;
in fright and seek protection.
Hoping that he would realize his
folly, the farmer put him in a pasture
with another colt. But. instead of
nicking a friendship with this compan
ion, colt No. 1 stayed as -far1 as pos-si-l
ble from him. and. if coU (No. 2 canej
near.-would slvow his teeth and chattc
in rae and fear.
The last I. heard of him he was still
afraid of horses, and almost iisele:

ANSWCR TO MR. BUSHY.
Dr. H. C. Epley Discusses His Side
pf the Controversy Regarding
the Surveying Csontract.
f From Daily Statesman. April 19.)
Editor Statesman: lAlliw me just
erKiugh sace to answer the article,
published by Air. W. MJ iBuslrey. .Tlic
fight I made 011 Mrf. Bush ey, prior to
the county convention,! was not made
from a iersif)nal stamlpomt or Wcause
I, or any of my relations were out foj
office, but because! did not think Mr.
Bushey the proper person for so' re
sponsrtde position, jand because I
thought and I know, that I was doing
the county a good service. Mr. Bush
ey. in his -statement, admits the partner
ship existing between himself and Judge
T. CI Shaw at the time the contract
w-a being carried out but-say."owing
to his age, etc.. he did not work, hai
returned home." This? 1 brand as a
dirty thriist at a man; whose memory
is held dear not enly' by the people of,
Marion courfty. but. the state of Oregon;
and I leave them to jttdge.' if this state
ment sounds reasonablei to say the least.
The facts are: die did work, carried
chain until his strength (failed, then re
mained at camp, did the cooking and
general camp work. As to the amount
made on the contract. I do not know:
that was handk-d by Wm. Bushey; but
I do know .that Judge Shaw, in talking
with me a short time prior to hi long
illness, tcld me.. Bushey bad never
paid him what was dsic him on that
Southern Oregon eonfract; and T. C.
Sh3ws wcrd is enough for me.

A BABIES-REVIEW.
It will probably startle a good many
persons to -find, on the authority of a
weil-known statist iciao, tat, could the
infants of a year be ranged in a line in
cradles, the cradles' -would extend round
the globe. The same writer look at
the matter in a more :picturepte light.
He imagines the baiiici being carried
past a given point in their mother's
arms, one by one, and the procession
(being kept up night and day until the
last bonr in the twefre months liad
passed by. A sufficiently liberal irate
ii allowed but even in the going 'past
at the rate of twenty a minute, 1.200
an hour, during thei entrre year, the
reviewer at his post would only have
seen the sjxth part 01 the intantile tiost

HIS SARCSM.
"Brutldren arid sistahs." sternly said
good old Parsn Woollimorv after the
collection bad hem taken op ujwm a
recent SabbatSt morning, "before de hat
was done parsed I-expounded de re
quest kt de congri gation" contribute
accawdin to deir niears. and I sho
expectorated dat yo' all would chii in
magnanimously.' But now, upon ex
aminin de collection, I finds dat de
concocted amount contributed by de
whole entire posse oli yo are only do
significant and pusillanimous hm oh
sixty-iree. cents. And at Hs junction
dar ain't no "caslon for -vV all to look
at Bnidder Slewfoot. what lone cir
ctimarr.bu!aed de hat around in no
sacb auspicious manner; for. in de fust
place, Bmdder Slewfoot ain't dat kind
b a man. and in de second place. I
done watched him like a hawk all de
time muhsch". No. sixty-tree cents was
all dat was flung in;. and I dess want
to say dat, in my bumble opinion, in
