The numerous islands of the Pata gonia archipelago are covered with evergreen forests capable of supplying immense quantities of valuable timber, while the mountain ranges, being o! the same geological formation as those of Chill and Peru, are probably rich In mineral resources. A passenger train on the Minne apolis, St Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad was recently delayed an hour by heaps of Russian thistles which had been blown upon the track by heavy winds. The thistles were caught on the wire fences along the right of way, where they collected in bunches in much the same manner in which snow drifts into railroad cuts. The "king of Italy has Just asquirel the island of Monte Cristo, the scene of Dumas' thrilling romance, as a hunt ing ground. It is about six miles la extent, and abounds In fur and feather. There are to be found the wild boar, the wild goat, the moufflon, hare and pheasant. When he was Prince of Na ples the king used to often go bunting on the Island, which then belonged to the Marquis de Ginorl-Lesci. Colonel James O. Milner, once assist ant secretary of the confederate navy, when he died at Mllford, O., on Tues day, had in his trunk a million dollars in confederate bonds and money. Had he sold these to collectors he would not have been so poor that his wife's burial and his own need be at the c targe of friends, as was the case. Colonel Mllner's wife, 0 years old, 'Had three weeks before him; a neigh bor then took him to her home, where the desolate man died at the age of 82. The toard of health of the city or Galveston is arranging for a largt sup ply of oil from the Benaanoat wella to be used in fighting mosquttoa. The oil will be distributed is all the stagnaat pools in the city, sprinkled on the car face of water In the gutters, and dis tributed free to owners of open cis terns for use In destroying mosquito and the fever-breeding germs which collect In the ponds. Experiments made by the board of health have dem onstrated the virtue of crude oil as a sanitary measure If properly used and natroleum water aa healthful and nourishing for drinking purposes. Agents of the German government are scouring Arizona for horses for use In the army. Several days ago they closed a deal with ranchers la the northern and central parts of the ter ritory for several hundred head, and will buy as many more. The Arizona range horse is peculiarly adapted to hard campaigning. The stock com of excellent blood. Indeed of such quality is the Araona horse that United States army buyers prefer hfm when be can be secured, to the product of any other region. The heavy demand, however, of the past three years has drawn heavily on the Arizona horsa ranges, and prices hare risen. Army buyers are paying from $25 to 165 and getting horses from three to five years old. Pennsylvania is the latest state that la trying to encourage and regulate marriage by new methods. Represen tative Roth of Lehigh, Introduced a bill In the state legislature lately which provides that a mala citizen of Penn sylvania over forty yean old, making application for a marriage license shall pay to the clerk of courts a license of $100. This Is to be turned Into the state treasury for the purpose of saalo taining homes for women over forty years old, who have not had a suitable opportunity or offer of marriage and have not means sufficient to keep themselves in olothes and spending money.

Baahs Bin Callad taa MUlloaa LaM AM Taatr llaaeBraaa Withdrawal ml VmI AMiit from Laajltlaaata BhIim to aid Stack CaabUa A systematic effort is being made to impress the country with the idea that the panic was entirely confined to Wall street and has bad no disasterous effect on the finances of the country. It is very difficult for outsiders to grasp the real condition of affairs for the banks of New York are members of the Clearing House which is a close corporation and the weekly statement they give of their united transactions is arranged on a system of averages and will seem to be made to fit con ditions and gull the public into believ ing everything Is lovely when the op posite may be the case. For instance the report for the week after the panic gave an increase of the surplus re serve of 35,172,450. This on its face would indicate that the banks had lots of money on hand over and above the legal reserve requirements though the total reserve had decreased over a mil lion. But during the week the banks had called in loans to an immense amount so that on the average the loans had decreased over twenty-four millions and deposits had decreased over twenty-five millions. The de crease in loans and deposits are the largest on record and show a wonder ful shrinkage of business and indicates that the boasted confidence tnat there will be no bad effects from the panic Is not shared by the bank managers or their customers to any great ex tent. So unfavorable is this statement that the Financier which Is a noted financial publication, says of it: "The current statement, however, seems widely at variance with known facts and that the week before, the bank totals conflicted in several particu lars." This is In fact saying that the statements are "fixed" to suit the pur pose of those who are at the head of the Clearing House Association and are not to be relied on. If this la o, their other statements which are given to the public in the form of articles In the newspapers controlled by tho money power and the trusts and cor porations must be received with the some doubta that the Financier casts upon the official statement of the banks themselves. There is no doubt that the banks are holding a large amount of the wat ered stock issued by the trusts as part of their security for loans to favored customers and if these stocks are not unloaded on the public before long there will have to be another record breaking statement that will be even more unsatisfactory than the present one. THE LATEST WAR CLOUD. Thare is doabtla murh unrest amongst the nations of Europe and if it ever suits the great financiers a gen eral European war would be In prog ress. Mr. Stead, the Englishman who is a peace at any price man. Is now afraid that a war is impending be tween the United States and England Mr. Stead, who dwells in the midst of alarms, says the Philadelphia Times lays in a new one every few days. His latest is that when Congress meets the Clayton-Bulwer treat "will be torn in to shreds and flung in our faces and it will be necessary then to choose be tween fighting and eating humble pie.' As he thinks John Bull will prefer to light, he throws out this hint of a gathering storm as an encouragement to the Boers to keep In the field. The Boers show no disposition to leave the field, but we should not ad vise them to count too much upon Mr. Stead's alarming prophecy. Whatever may become of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, there is not going to be any war over it or any serious disturbance. It will not even be thought worth while to tear It Into shreds, since there Is scarcely more than a shred of it remaining, and as to throwing it in anybody's face, it is rather our British friends who have been Inopportunely throwing it in our faces. And yet we have not been very mad about it at least, not fighting mad. There is really much more feeling in this country against Great Britain on account of the war with the Boers, whose defense appeals to our sym pathies, than on account of an obso lete treaty that nobody clearly under stands or greatly cares about The negotiations for the abrogation of the treaty were bungled last year, but if the time comes when It appears to be actually in the way of any practical purpose, we have no doubt that It oaa be properly disposed of without re quiring anybody to eat bumble pie. The disturbance In South Africa would be a more serious menace to International relation If we were not ourselves so complicated with our col onies and dependencies aa to be fear ful of having our own record flung in our face. So the Boers will have to fight on unaided. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Democratic newspaper writers and orator have for year declared that the public acta of the Republicans be lled their platform and pointed to the legislation enacted by tbem and their rapid change of front on political and economic question a a sure proof that such a party waa not to b trusted to administer tba govern ment It la aeldom however la pon tic that the claim of a rival party can be substantiated by a eoaspicuou advocate of tba pollclaa of their op ponents. There must b aomethlag radically wrong whea tala la the aaaa, especially when tba ad vacate la tba editor of a publication that receives Its support from the parly who it feels the occasion demands it to decry. Prof. George Gunton has been a con sistent Republican and protectionist, yet in the May number of his maga zine he publishes an article from which is condensed the following: Political parties come into existence for the purpose of Incorporating cer tain ideas into the public policy of the nation. So long as a party is vitalised by an idea, whether in the majority or not, it is usually clean and aggres sive. On the other hand, it is as nat ural as for the seasons to follow each other that political parties will ster ilize and decline in character and in fluence in proportion as moral ideas and vital principles cease to be their controlling motives. The Republican party appears to be nearlng, if it has not already reached, this stage. When it was born, In 1856, it came with a mission. Inspired with the moral and political righteousness of its policy, it neither wavered nor weakened, but rose to the occasion with every increase of responsibility. It then commanded the endorsement and admiration of the best minds of every race and nation, and earned the title of "the party of moral ideas." It saved the union, blotted out slavery, and made the United States a nation. Under its leadership for a quarter of a century the nation experienced un paralleled industrial development and prosperity. Here tne Republican party reached the end of its program, and instead of developing in ideas and statesmanship commensurate with the progress of the country, it began to fossilize. It be came self-satisfied and indifferent to the high principles it had made his toric, and began to bask In the sun shine of office and to rely on tho favor of patronage for r uccess. On every hand the evidence is ap parent that the Republican party has practically outlived Its reputation as "the party of moral ideas" and is de teriorating into a party of moral in difference, political drift, and "boss" manipulation. It is rapidly losing the confidence of the nation. Republican cities have already begun to elect anti-Republicans and even revolution ary administrations. A PHILIPPINE FARCE. The Taft Philippine commission has reported to the war department a form of civil government for the archipel ago. Judging from some of the clauses the commission evidently intends to be the "whole thing" itself, though it will allow the Filipinos to Imagine, until they discover their mistake, that they are electing their own officers. H may be as the commission claims "a form of civil government" and it would appear to be "a form" only, for there Is not a vestige of civil liberty. The commission "Is expressly empow ered to veto any action taken" la one of the provisions, and it would seem that that alone would make a farce . the whole system. They also reseryr the right "to remove any official at any time when in tbe Judgment of the commission this is desirable, and in cases wherein an official elected by popular vote does not suit the memf bers of the commission his election can be declared void." If the Fili pinos, after they understand the mat ter, put themselves to the trouble of holding an election and voting, they are much greater fools than they bavt, been represented to be. Taft should remember that "you can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time," but you can't fool, even all the Filipinos, all the time. POLITICAL COMMENT. General Chaffee's remarks about tfce Anglo-American alliance have rained up a storm of protests. His friends are trying to explain that it was only an after dinner speech and tbe gen eral should not be taken too literally. Negotiations are still proceeding for the purchase of the Danish West Indls Islands, but the trouble now is thai the inhabitants no longer are willing that we should annex them. The tar iff on Puerto Rico and tbe repudiation of our promises to Cuba have opened their eyes. Tbe Nicaraguans are now ready to concede anything if we will build the canal. Tbey fear the Panama scheme will be Uken up, which it will likely be, if there is a chance for Hanna and tho Wall street attachment of tbe ad ministration to make the French pay a good round commission. Senator Cullom aims to be chairman of the foreign relations committee of the Senate and Is making a special study of reciprocity. Don't waste your time, Senator, on reciprocity but ex amine tbe tariff schedule, with a view to reforming tbe most outrageous of tbem and study to be s statesman and not a servile follower of Hanna and the trusts. The Manila scandals do not seem to lessen aa they are probed, but one thing i strange that civilians and subordinate officials are the only ones that so far have been punished. This result Is to be expected where a free press Is made a criminal offense, sine tbe deportation of Editor Rice for ex posing a few minor frauds in the cus tom service. A Democratic panic was predicted If Mr. Bryan was elected, but a sugges tion that a Republican panic might also com If Mr. McKlnley was re elected would have been scoffed at by Hanna and Co. and yet the Republican panic baa occurred and about tbe wort one Wall street has ever known. Tbe much rauated financial legislation of the protective tariff, or great exports do not ensure prosperity and yet we war told either would nur It. It la aatlmatad oaa-tblrd of tbe dwel ler upon earth are habitual in a' tobacco. FEEUIKGTHELEECHES HOW PRODUCERS SUFFER FOR IDLE WEALTH.

Recently, during a trial in ono of our courts, it became necessary for the judge himself to question a witness, and the following colloquy took place: Judge Are you a married man? Witness No. J. Have you any one depending on you for support W. Yes; a large number of them. J. Are they disabled physically or mentally from supporting themselves? W. No; they are fully as able as I to support themselves J. Then why do you support these able-bodied persons? W. Because the customs and ar rangements of our present state of so ciety force me to. J. These persons, doing no manner of useful work, and you a poor man, having but your labor, are compelled to give part of It to them? W. Yes; I am forced to divide by giving them three-fourths of what I produce. J. Is there no way to get rid of these human leeches? W. Not at once; for nearly all so ciety especially these leeches, as you call them, insist that this Is a natural state of affairs, and has always exist ed; they are eternally ding-donging in my ears that, were It not for the.se leeches, I could not work at all, and death would Immediately overtake me. But in the near future we'll be able to rid ourselves of them, when they'll have to live off their own sweat. J. If you should die would not tho leeches have to work W. Oh, no; they hold in reserve a vast number who are about to be over taken by death from enforced Idleness and tbey would think It a God-sent privilege to toil In support of these leeches. J. Would you please give me the name tnd address of these leeches? W. Though it is solely from my labor that their lives are made a con tinual round of pleasure, still they have the brutal Ingratitude to refuse to live in the same locality as myself, and often they will not condescend to live In the same country; and as my constant toil enables them at their pleasure to change their climate, scen ery and society, I can not give you their permanent address. For apparent reasons they do not want to be known by their real names, but Insist on be ing known by their nom de plumes. J. But what are their names In fact, I am going to have them ar raigned before the bar of Justice, these ravagers of society. W. Their names are CAPITAL ISTS. J. Mr. Sheriff, hustle this witness out of the court room; he's a Populist. Mlstouri Socialist. CUBA LIBRE. When sailed from Tampa Bay, ; (Cuba Libre! ) And our ships got under weigh, (Cuba Libre!)

And In all the time between Such a lot of things we've seen. We've forgotten what they mean, "Cuba Libre!" Let us ask the president, (Cuba Libre!)

But alas! they will not speak, (Cuba Libre) For their memories are weak, (Cuba Libre) If you have a lexicon. Borrowed from a Spanish don. Send It down to Washington, (Cuba Libre!) Ernest Crotby, In Life. THROWING AWAY LAND. A contemporary rips up the entire land system of the country, especially the practice of endowment by dona tion of land. In the statement that tbe State University wns endowed by the proceeds of tbe sales of M sections (100 acre each) of lands granted to the state, which having been sold, yield an Income of but $135,000, whereas the university requires $510,000. Our contemporary adds that had these sections of land been leased In stead of sold, they would now yield an Income of $524,000, In other words, value which would have supported the university and left a surplus of $14,000, have been, to the extent of nearly three-fourtba. given away to speculator. Had this city, at tbe be ginning of American occupation, leased It public lands. Instead of throwing tbem away by tale, there would now be an ineoma from tbem of more than triple tba amount of our taxes, which would bare enabled the city and coun ty sot only to bar eoaatmcted, owned and operated all ltt public utilities, but to have done so gratuitously, or at aa almost nominal charge. TRUST SUPPRESS INVENTIONS A man living in Chicago has invent ed a lubricator in which water is a principal If not the chief Ingredient He has demonstrated its value. He baa proven to the satisfaction of several railroad managements that it is not only the cheapest but the safest lubri cant known to industrial science. These roads are willing to buy this product snd use it to the exclusion of sll others, at least until a better is dis covered. But here steps in tie Standard Oil Company and says to the railroad: "If you use this lubricant and cease buying those manufactured by us, we will retaliate by refusing to ship over your lines. The business of the Standard Oil is so large no railroad company dare withstand the demand, hence tbe mak er of the new and cheapest lubricant experiences extreme difficulty in mar keting his product Were the railroads in the hands of the government the Standard Oil Com pany could not enforce a demand so out of harmotvy with the laws of legit imate production and distribution. East Oregonlan. NOT POPULISTS. Mayor Johnson made a proposition to buy the Cle"eland Terminal & Val ley railroad for $2,340,000. The prop osition was made to J. H. Wads wort, representing de Valley road at tbe meeting of the auditors. "Think of It," laughed the mayor, "twenty-nine locomotives returned by the Valley railroad for less than $1,000 each." "Do you want to buy the Valley road for what it has been returned for tax ation?" "You bet I do!" cried Mayor John son, "and I'll give you 40 per cent more than that. Yes, I'll give you three times what you value it at In your tax return." "Will you take it?" "I'll make a big cash deposit right here." "Oh, don't be In such a hurry," said Wadsworth, backing away. "I'll think about it. I don't own the whole road." "All right, think It over," laughed the mayor, turning away. "I'll take It at those figures." Plalndealer. The leaders of the real Democratic party today are men who are doing for America what the Hebrew prophets did for the Jewish nation. "Theae prophets." says the great Jewish scholar, Darmesteter, "were men to whom Justice was an active force. The Idea of right was converted by them Into a fact before which all other facts pale. By virtue of believing In Justice they advanced It to the rank of a factor in history. They taught many to live and die for the right with out tho hopo of Elyslan fields. They taught the people that without Ideal 'the future hangs before them In tat ters." That the Ideal alone is tbe aim of life, and that it consists not in the glory of the conqueror, nor In riches nor In power, but In holding up as a torch to the nations the example of better laws and of a higher soul." "There Is nothing Jn this world," said the president In a speech at San Francisco, "that so promotes the uni versal brotherhood of man as com merce." What could Mr. McKlnley have meant by saying that commerce promotes the universal brotherhood of man? That is not protection doctrine. It I free trade doctrine. And what does he mean by encouraging com merce? Would he abolish the protec tive tariff, which hangs like a millstone about the neck of universal trade? Has Mr. McKlnley become a free trader, favoring open markets and un restricted commerce? If not, what kind of universal brotherhood It Is that he would have us aspire to? The Public. King Edward's wages have been raised to $2,350,000 a year. Borne Americans will wonder what Edward doet to deserve such a large salary When they have satisfied themselves on this point they might begin to fig urt on what John D. Rockefeller doe to earn tome $50,000,000 or more a year. We elect a president ostensibly to be our chief executive and pay him $50,000 a year. But our real executive Is Mr. Rockefeller, and be doesn't have to take the trouble to be elected. Helena Independent The insolent assumption of John D. Rockefeller that the wages paid by his oil trust during the past thirty years were a "gift to labor," haa caused great amusement among those who are nromDt to see the humorous side of things, and aroused tbe Indignation of the serious-minded. But all know that without labor Rockefeller's money would have produced nothing, and that hit "gift" was merely an exchange of money for labor, and not a fair ex change on bit part at that, if tbe truth were known. Will aa Omakaehaaa CyUar. A wealthy land owner near 8mol ensk, Russia, died not long ago, and after tbe funeral his heir looked vain ly for tbe will, but without ucceaa.

Jones of Burdett, and one of the most popular ladies in Hodgeman County has been a martyr to headache for years. It has made her life a continual misery to her. She suffered pains in the small of the back, and had every symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trou ble. Today she is as well as any lady la tho state. This remarkable change was due en tirely to a remedy recently Introduced here. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills. nd many people claim It to be an In fallible cure for Kidney Diseases, Rhcumatifim and Heart Trouble. Mrs. Freeman heard of Todd's Kid ney Pills, and almost with the first dose, she grew better. In a week, her headaches and other pains had gone, and she had left behind her all her Illness and days of miser'. A medicine that can do for any one what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for this iady, is very sure soon to be universally used, and already the de mand for these pills has increased wonderfully In Pawnee and Hodge man Counties, where the particulars of Mrs. Freeman's case and its cure are known.
