BISMARCK'S INGENUITY.
A writer in the Times says that
Bismaick. in his younger days at
. least, did not scorn to attain his ends
by devices that owed more to well,
call it ingenuity, than to the dignified
exercise of resistless strength. For
instance, while be was Prussia's rep
resentative in the Federal Diet at
Frankfurt he was irritated by the
-discovery that some of the very
pompons and equally conscience less
diplomatists in the Bundestag were
in the habit of intercepting and read
ing his reports to the king of Prussia.
Instead of denouncing this custom
openly and thereby causing scenes
and scandals, as he would have done
'without hesitation in the days of his
greatest power, the prince held his
.peace, ai.d set his wits to work on the
problem of getting the belter of his
antagonists. An old story now re
vived tells how be met the difficulty.
One day when he had a most import
ant letter which he was absolutely
obliged to conGde to the post be put
the document in his pocket, took one
of his colleagues with him for a walk,
and led into a back street of the city.
There he selected a small grocer's
shop, opened the dcor, entered and
-asked for soap. After .making bis
purchase he put the parcel in his
pocket, asking: Have you any letter
covers?" Some envelopes of the
commonest kind were brought to
liim. He pulled out bis document
and prepared it for the post, where
upon be begged the man to give him
pen and ink. . Not having taken off
&is gloves, the prince pretended that
tie could not write properly, and
asked the shopman to address the
letter, which he did. Putting the
letter first to his nose and then into
bis pocket, Bismarck remarked to bis
friend : "Now, we'll see if they will
sniff my report under this address
and under this perfume, composed of
oap, heirinjr, tallow and cheese."
in our possession and will nCt be
given up, the case looks simple. All
the Philippines which is worth any
thing is now practically American
territory, and neither the anti expan
sionists nor Spain ought to grumble
if we take the rest of the islands in
order to relieve Spain of her embar
rassment. The work of the peace
commissioner, so far as regards the
Philippine matter, is likely to be
light. '
VOLUNTEERS HEARD FROM.
at
Austria's official newspaper says
ibe peace terms between the United
: States and Srain will be settled by
- these two countries without any out-
- side interference. This is what every
newspaper in the United States has
l-been saying all along. No meddling
"on the. part of any European power
would be permitted. Spain under
stands this as well as does the United
States. For a time just before and
just after the beginning of the war
-Spain looked for tome aid from the
continental European nations, but
before the war was under way a
month she fonnd this hope to be vain.
.She expects no aid in the peace settle
ment. The nations which coerced
.Japan after her victorious war against
China four years ago would doubt
iless be glad to play the role of dic
tator in this case, but they are jcle-
terred by the circumstance that their
- -interference would be resisted by all
4he power of the United Slates.
In a democratic country all locali
ties have to be recognized in selec
tions of bodies to represent the whole
. nation. The peace ccmmission meets
all the requirements in this direction.
One of its members is from New
England, another is from one of the
Middle states, another is from the
northern half of the region between
the Alleghenies and the Mississippi,
another is from the south and an
other belongs to the west of the Mis
sissippi. While personal fitness has
been the most important considera
tion in the choice of tbe country's
representatives in the Paris conven
tion, geographical demands have not
been neglected.
The anti expansionist Springfield
Republican remarks that "the presi
dent might as well take the Island of
Luzon as the City of Manila, and all
the Philippines if he takes Luzon."
This is correct. But as we already
Lave Manilla in our hands and are
committed to its retention, ' and as
. tbe entire Island of Luzon is virtually j
For a week or ten days tbe public
Las been sickened by the inventions
and falsehoods of sensational corre
spondents and yellow journals as to
army conditions. Changes have been
rung on stories of starvation, ex
posure, and suffering, and tbe public
has been forced to read such trans
parent exaggerations as were never
before foisted on a sorely tried peo
ple. Now we ate bearing from the
soldiers themselves. Colonel loung
of the First Illino!s cavalry, well
known in Chicago, better known the
country over than any yellow corre
spondent, declares that every pro
vision possible was made for the care
of the soldiers, every precaution was
taken to guard against disease. There
was no danger from the water
Cbickamauga, for it was of excellen
quality, and he says emphatically
that the men of the first cavalry have
nothing to regret save that they did
not get Into active service.
Captain Thomas S. Quincy, also
well known in Chisago, declares that
the rations issued by the government
st Camp Thomas were all that any
reasonable man could ask for, both as
regards Quality and quantity. For
the last five weeks he messed with
his men, eating the same food tha
they ate. As to hospital facilities at
Chickamnuga, Captain Quincey states
that the men had the best care that it
was possible to give them. Scores
of physicians goon record to show
that the stories of starvation are
fabrications based on tbe necessary
restrictions of physicians ' or on the
inevitable condition of fever patients.
All dispatches from Monlauk Point
on the arrival of the First Illinois in
fantry report the regiment in good
condition acd as having been well
cared for on the trip from Cuba. No
complaint comes from this regiment
that has seen extraordinary hard ser
vice at the front.
The stories of the soldiers them
selves put to shame all the miserable
fabrications of the yellow journals.
Phe exaggeration of the Inevitable
ills of camp life was based on the be
lief that it would be approved by the
soldiers themselves. This idea was
contrary to all the principles on
which soldier character is built up.
The volunteers, so eager to go, so
patient under discipline and exposure,
cannot be put in a false light by the
slanderers of the army and of the
government. The hardships of army
life have not broken the spirit or
weakened the loyalty of the ..volun
teers. They are now talking for
"themselves. Inter Ocean.
NO 'SUPERFLUOUS WOMEN."
WAR HUMOR AT SANTIAGO.-
Copt. Evans is responsible for a
choice bit of sailor humor which de
serves to be rescued for history be
foie it is lost in some dusty pigeon
bole in the navy department.
On the day after the destruction
of Cervera's slips the Spanish war
ship Reina Mercedes was discovered
in the Santiago harbor channel, evi
dently intending to Gnish what Hob
son with the Merrimac bad begun.
Then Copt. Evans signalled from the
Iowa: The Spaniards are trying to
sink a ship : to - block the channel.
They need help." '
Even the business-like Jacky who
was fastening tbe signal flags to the
halyards must . have laughed - as the
captain ordered 'the letters which
spelled out the last three words.
Of course a fleet officered by
Americans was not slow to act on the
piece of grim bumor, and a minute
after the signal was hoisted the Iowa,
Massachusetts, Texas and Vesuvius
were giving the Reina Mercedes all
the "help" she needed.' Their shot
and shell sank her before she reached
her intended berth in the narrowest
part of the channel, and left the way
into the harbor open to our ships.
- The government . Las published
mao showing for each "state in the
union the number of unmarried men
and unmarried women over twenty
years of age. '
With a peculiarly childlike faith
the census officials believe they know
the exact ages of all the "unaltMched
females, anJ accordingly tney are
grouped in five-venr periods. In
that particular the statistics are mani
festly untrustworthy, but apart from
that vhe figures are absolute.
And they arc - very astoniabing.
Tbej show definitely that the "surplus
woman" is a myth. There is no sur
plus of women. There is a shortage
of 2.200,000. There are in the United
States 5, 42, 76 bachelors over
twenty years of age, and only 3,224,
494 unmarried women above that
age.
But this is the least astonishing
part of the matter. The chart shows
that in absolutely every state there is
an excess of bachelors over maidens,
Even in Massachusetts, where tra
dition fixes the home of tbe "surplus
women," there are 126,084 available
bachelors and only 219.255 spinsters,
In Kbode Island there are z per
cent, more bachelors than .unmarried
women, in New Hampshire 9 per
cent., in Connecticut 20 per cent,
in New Jersey and Virginia 22 per
cent, while in Idaho the excess of
bachelors over maids is 1,000 per
cent, their being 16,584 unmarried
men and only 1,426 single women.
Wyoming aud Arizona eloselj follow,
while all the far western states have
reason to regard women as one of the
precious metals" because of her
scarcity. '
But the one fact of greatest inter
est is that there is in the country not
one single state which has' not men
enough to furnish a husband . apiece
for all its women.

VIRGIN FIELDS FOR TEACHERS.
Dr. Harris, the United States Com
missioner of Education, has been dil
igently searching into the condition
of public education in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Thus far
he has been able to find out absolute
ly nothing as to the literacy or illiter
acy of our new fellow-citizens of
Porto Rico or of the Filipinos, who
are in such an interesting stale of
uspended citizenship.
Reasoning by analogy. Dr. Han is
would be justified in concluding that
educators will have a virgin sou in-
which to labor in those islands. Our
first educational expedition, if wisely
assembled, will consist wholly of ex
pert kindergartners.
As to Cuba, Dr. Harris has found
some facts which raise the gloomiest
suspicions as to tbe'whole truth. Ten
years ago the date of the last so
called Spanish educational report
less than 4 per cent, of tbe inhabit
ants attended such wretched public
schools and almost useless private
schools aa Spanish rule permitted.
This means that only one child out of
five hundred was learning even read
ing and writing. Taking the whole
population, less than 15 per cent of
tbe colored and less than 45 per cent.
of the white could read and write.
Clearly the first resu't of American
influence in Spain's late possessions
must be the "little red school house."
The other questions, however vex
ing, will solve themselves if this right
beginning is

The delinqent taxes of Wasco cnunly,
as shown on the rolls now In the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al
most equal lo the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements, tor this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. .With a bountifnl crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound bv oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

. Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
