GERMS OF WESTERN STATEHOOD
In -the April .Forntn William E,

the query, "Shall Nevada be deprived
of statehood?" ;:He asserts that Ne

"The men made rich by the mines

millions iu reclaiming arid lands
tributary to Colorado commerce.
The wealth taken from the
mines and railroads of Nevada, on
the 6ther hand, contributed nothing
to the embellishment of her citizens
or the conquest of her waste places.
It went to build palaces in San Fran
cisco, New York nnd London, and
to increase the social gayety of New
jxrt and Paris."
No doubt this, is the true explana
tion 1 for much of the striking con
trast between Colorado's glory and

to bold in affection the state's sunny

founded homes in the new land,
adorned them, expended their for
tunes in public buildings and enter
prises, and taught their children to
hold the state in affection. Their
. daughters were not peddled around
Europe for matrimonial alliance with
seedy nobility. Their sons were not

life was to make money and clear

A New York court has rendered a
decision full of "horse sense," hold
ing the Pullman company responsi
ble for dpsimlintitin Ikt thipvertrt nn
r v"- J
palace cars. A lady who had lost a
sealskin sacque while occupying a
1 Pullman seat on a western journey
was informed that the company was
not responsible for unchecked bag
gage on the cars. She was referred
to the proviso printed on the ticket
disavowing responsibility, and told
to attend to her wraps when she rode
on the cars. With the true spirit of
the woman who means to knovv her
right, the victim brought suit, and
the judge not only awards her the
cost of the sacque, but incidentally
declares that the common carrier can
not limit his resnonsibilitie.a hv elnh
orate warnings on the pasteboards
entitling the holder to personal trans
port The truth is, the limitless re
strictions printed on tickets aie a
complete negation of just the service
the traveler bargains for. More than
this, the proviso in regard to articles
on the cars is really an encourage
ment 10 aisnonesty on the part or the
casual employes ' admitted to the
trains. As a rule the thefts on the
cars are operated by either the car
employes or.confederates who obtain
admission through their" connivance.

to be made known. wherever the pal

Today the exercises over the
Grant tomb occur in New York. The
remains of General Grant will be laid
permanently to rest.' : General Grant
was a simple, great man. He ,was
an American. He was taciturn and
grave in all things, and this assured
a wealth of latent reserve force,
which he drew on. in great emergen
cies wilh'sucii result that he became
great. Grant grew up when great
men ; were to be useful, when there
was something for them to do. His
Americanism , was developed in this
environment, and the times not only
called for him, but it called forth
still greater character, that of Lin
coin, as well as other strong and true
men.. ' Grant, however, btood, ' and
still stands, next to Lincoln in ser

ABOUT . OREECE.
A war, or even the prospect of
one, always bring out a great deal of
information about the countries in
dulging in it. And so it is in the
case or lireece in tne present war.
The New York Sun furnishes this
information about the country of the
Hellenes : . : ..'.." .'
It has a population of 2,187.208
It is called "Hellas" by its people,
The mean temperature of Greece
is 64 degrees at Fahrenheit.
No part of Greece is forty miles
from the sea or ten from the hills.
About one-half ot the population
are agriculturists and shepherds.
It is an area of 24,977 square miles.
It is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with the
Oras guns and paper-covered cart
ridges. , ",
The Greek flag is a white cross on
a blue ground the Bavarian colors
and the Greek cross.'
Greece is more thickly populated
than any other country in Europe,
with the exception of Sweden and
Prussia.
It has few rivers and many bills.
None of the former are navigable,
and many of the latter are fortified
Its present boundary limits were
determined by an arrangment among
Great Britain, France, Russia and
Turkey concluded at Constantinople
on July 21,1832.
Only about 70,000 of the inbabi
tants speak any language other than
Greek, and only about 20,000 pro
fess any religion other than tne or
thodox.
The chief characteristics of the
average Greek are hi8 inquisitive
ness, fondness for excitement, love
of discussion, desire . for knowledge,
an aptitude for learning, and regres
sive patriotism.
The climate has two striking pe
culiarities the heat in summer and
the cold in winter are far more in
tense than those of any other coun
try in the world lying in the same
latitude. Gell once remarked that
in traveling through the Morea in
March he found "summer in Mes
sina, spring in Laconia, and winter
in Arcadia, without having moved
beyond a radius of fifty miles."
PERHAPS VERDANT.
The Walla Walla Statesman, com
menting on what we said recently
concerning the sending of White to
this city, remarks:.
This is the same man who came
here a few days ago from Hunting
ton, and therefore the Chronicle is
wrong in stating that be should be a
charge of this county. He was here
but one day, and received some as
sistance on his way to California.
The Wasco county officials are some
what verdant or they would ship
him on to some other place.
It may be that Wasco' county offi
cials are "verdant," or it may be that
Walla Walla county officials are void
of the commonest human instincts.
It is probable Wasco county will
have a few dollars to pay for the
care and burial of a human wreck,
flotsam of humanity, blown hither by
the chilling wind3 made doubly cold
by having been in contact with the
hearts of men. It may be our offi
cers are "verdant," but as we looked
upon that helpless and hopeless dere
lect provided with shelter, rough
though it be, where for a few days,
his last, he may be administered
unto and die, we cannot but feel
thankful that in ' Oregon, at' least,
there . are , still verdant hearts, too
tender' to fire a dying man by the
brakebeam route into some neighbor
ing town.vv
We owe much to the Greeks; that
is, Christian civilization does. We
owe them our religion, our liberty,
our art, and the legendary lore that
lightens and makes perfect our liter
ature. Commencing with Lycurgus
the history and- example of Greece,
has been the history and measure of
the world. Under Philip of Mace-
don it awakened to the measure of
its powers, and under Alexander it
sent the tide of its civilization across
the deserts to mingle with that of the
Indus. The wealth of oriental im
agery, added to the modern language
and literature, was . in our opinion
immeasurably more valuable than
the gold or silver or plunder taken
from the followers of Vishnu.
Against the Persian, Greece at Ther
mopylae made that heroic resistance
that saved Europe from subjugation
and taught the world the. value of
freedom. Later against the vast
armies of Mahomet III the Emperor
Constantine did royal battle, and
only surrendered bare .walls ' and
famished treasuries to his enemies.
Greece fell a prey to the Turk, but
falling she broke . his power so that
Charles Martel was able to stop him
and save Europe. Since that time
her fate has been baid and unde
served. It is in aecoidance with the
eternal fitness of things that Ger
many, France, Austria, and the .bal
ance or the countries that would
never have existed but for Greece,
should turn their gnns upon her to
support and protect Europe's enemy,
the Turk. . .
A CANAL.
In last week's San Francisco Ex
aminer was an article or some length
regarding the work now' being done
on the Panama canal. According to
this article 3.000 Frenchmen are. at
work on the canal and work is pro
essing night and day. . They are
running seven mammoth dredgers in
its completion. . Should this work
keep ; up two years hence vessels
should be passing through - without
the long, tedious journey around the
horn. , The canal will be operated on
the franchise held by the French gov
ernment, instead of a corporation,
which would prove of advautage to
marine interests. . '
Some might say that this would
not augur well for the future success
of -the Nicaragua canal under the
patronage of the United States gov
ernment, but a closer view of the
matter would convince most any one
that' such would not prove to be the
case. In the first place the Nicara
gua canal is primarily the ideal cross-
ng from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
It is a much shorter route for all
vessels from England, France, Rus,
sia, Germany and the Atlantic coast
of the United States to the Pacific
coast of North and South America,
Hawaii and the' Orient, and would
therefore be more advantageous.
Another thing that would render the
Nicaragua canal the more popular is
the fact that the vessels would have
a spin in fresh water going through,
thus killing the barnacles that attach
hemselves to the bottom of a vessel,
and saving the heavy expense of
dry-docking. ". This one item would
render the Nicaragua canal the ideal
waterway through the continent.
Be that as it may, it is evident
that easily within the life of the pres
ent generation will be witnessed the
opening of a much-desired passage
between the two oceans, and . the
building np of 'the countries border
ing on the Pacific ocean.
- The Turks may not understand
the science of government, but they
know how to fight. '. From the time
that Mahomet first led bis little band
of fanatics into battle, that race has
been practically . unconquerable.
They are fighters still, backed by a
hatred of the Christian, and sustained
by a blind faith that he who falls in
battle, gees straight to Paradise to
drell forever with unnumbered
houris. They . go to the battlefield
and death as cheerfully as a tramp
tackles a ' free lunch, sure of being,
whatever the result, better off for it
The Greeks," on the other hand, are
degenerate and demoralized, without
leadership and discontented with their
government. We sympathize with
the objects that caused the Greeks to
go to war, and we regret their defeat;
but at the same time we deplore their
judgment. They have set a fine ex
ample to the powers, but the powers
win not prout oy it. un the con
traiy, England and Germany, will
condole Greece with the homely
old couplet, "Let those et who have
the power, and let those keep who
can." ' -
ine a ispaicues state that Japan is
highly incenaed at the Dole govern
ment tor refusing a landing to a lot
of Japanese immigrants, and the
press of that country is urging the
government to send the immigrants
back and land them under the guns
of a warship. They also urge that
the United States be taken in hand
by Japan and made to keep . her
hands off of Hawaii. This sounds
easy enough to a lot of little people
who whipped China so easily; but
with America it is a much larger con
tract Uncle Sam is not looking for
a row, and ,if he "were, would not
want to quarrel with trundle-bed
trash. It begins to look as though
we will have to annex the islands,
for just as soon as some other gov
ernment says we shall not have them,
we ill not only want, but .will take
them.
The situation iu Greece is any
thing but cheering to the friends of
that country. . At nearly every point
where they have met the Turks they
have been beatenl. and while thev
seem to have fought well, their lea
dership has been poor and their re
treats simply the fleeing of demoral
ized mobs. There can be but one
result, and that is a peace made on
such terms as the Christian nations of
Europe see ' fit to allow Turkey to
impose. After all, it seems as though
there was truth in that old saying
that "God fights on the side of the
heaviest battalions." -'

people here patronize the river lines,

boat companies would now arrange with
our people for a landing, they would
enrely get considerable business from
this point. .
