THE MAN WITH THE GUN.
The news record of last week con
tained two trasic instances of the
terrible results of fire arms being al
lowed m the bands of irresponsible
people. Last Tuesday, at San Fran
cisco, Walter Rosser, a drink crazed
soldier of the Tennessee volunteers
shot and killed a clerk in a market
Saturday, at Pendleton, Oregon, C,
C. Cunningham, also maddened by
drink, shot and killed O. Young and
seriously wounded Mrs. Julius J,
Worcester. In neither case was there
the slightest provocation. The mur
derer in each instance deliberately
fired the fatal shot for the pure lust
of killing. That he was mentally un
sound at the moment is no excuse
for the deed. The extreme penalty
of the law should be meted out in
each of these cases.
There is need in this country not
for more stringent laws governing the
carrying of Ore rms, but for a moie
stringent observance of those now on
the statue books. The terrible
tragedy in Spokane of last year, when
a crazed man shot into a crowd on
Howard street with fatal effects, is
an instance that brings this matter
home to the people of Spokane. It
may be laid down as sound doctrine
that no private citizen has need to
carry a revolver or a fire arm of any
kind. As a means of protection
against. criminals it is useless, yes.
worse than useless, for an attempt to
use it on a. desperate man is attended
more often with fatal injury to the
citizen than to the ciiminal he hopes
to shoot. A private citizen who
carries a fire arm in these days in
any settled community is either
fool or a criminal, and the laws
should treat him as such. So long as
the laws in relation to carrying con
cealed weapons are not rigidly en
forced the authorities ere not doing
their duty and society is in danger.
WE NEED A MERCHANT MARINE
The Iron and Coal Trades Review,
of London, after a quotation from
our bureau of statistics showing the
decline of our oversea carrying trade,
says: "It seems hardly possible that
with their shipping in such a mod
bond condition, the Americans seri
ously menace cur great export trade
In ccal and iron. Shipping facilities
are of paramount importance in the
the development of trade." This
assertion is illustrated in the condi
tion of the iron trade between Bel
gium and the East Indies, which
scarcely ten years ago did not amount
to more th:n 10,000 tons. Within
the last two or three years it has
varied between twenty and thirty
times tbat quantity. Whbout the
important means of communication
which the Hansa Company has pro
vided with India, a development of
so rapid a character would not have
been possible. The present mode of
conducting our export trade is about
as sensible as it would be for one of
the large department stores to trust
the delivery wagons of its rivals to
carry its sales to their destination.
AGAINST ALL COMERS.
Once more rumor connects a third
power with the Philippine question.
This time it comes from diplomatic,
and not naval, sources. There is a
suspicion at Washington that secret
negotiations are in progress for a
transfer of several of the islands to
Germany namely, Palawan and the
Sala archipelago, both in the south
ern part of the Philippine colony.
The rumor may bo due to an un
founded apprehension, but it is cer
tainly gratifying to be assured from
Washington that, if our peace com
missioners find it to be true, they are
to announce that our government
claims at once, and without parley,
all the islands, on the ground that
under the peace protocol Spain
bad, ani has, no right to enter
into any such negotiations. The
protocol expressly provides that the
United States shall occupy and hold
the city, bay and harbor of Manila
pending the conclusion of a treaty of
peace which shall determine the con
trol, disposition, and government of
the Philippines. When Spain en
tered into this agreement it enjoined
itself from negotiating'withany other
nation for the control, disposition, or
government of Palawan and the
Sulus, as well as Luzon and the many
hundred other islands of the group.
Palawan is a narrow strip of land
which separates the China and Sulu
seas for a space of 260 miles, and the
Sulu group stretches along between
Borneo and Mindanao for about 200
miles. For a long time each ws
no-man's land, but in 1878 Spain
took possession of them, and made
them a part of the colony of the
Philippines. Manila is the capital of
the whole colonr. including all the
islands. There is no appeal possible
regarding the unity of the group
governed from that city.
Germany has no possessions in the
region of the Philippines. Its near
est colonies are Kaiser WilLelm land,
Bismarck archipelago, and the Solo
mon and Marshall islands. These do
not afford even a pretext for inter
ference with affairs in the Philippines,
It is not likely that Germany ever
would iuttigue with Sp'ain for any
part of the Philippine group in case
the United States should elect to de
mand the whole colony, and should
let these intentions be known quickly
and clearly. If the Berlin govern
ment is taking the steps with which
rumor credits it, the reason is because
our own government is supposed to
be haulting between two opinions
and Germany is determined rot to
be last in anv general scramble that
we may see fit to precipitate. The
lesson is plain. If this country wishes
to secure its Oriental conquest peace
fully and decisively, without compli
cations with any foreign power, it
should waste no time in informing
the world that its intention is to hold
its own in every island of the Phil
ippines against all comers. Inter-
Ocean.
MR. M' KIN LEY AND THE SULTAN
The Sultan's nnrivalled collection
of ultimatums has been enriched by
a note from Mr. McKinley, warning
him frankly that he cannot repudiate
any part of the responsibility for the
American losses in the Armenian
butcheries. The time has long passed
when an ultimatum was able to ruffle
the repose of the Sublime Porte, or
indeed to excite any other emotion
save a languid pleasure in the game
of diplomatic poker which it heralded.
Mr. McKinley's firm note will there
fore not cause the Sultan to skip a
single cigarette. .
But a new sensation may be in
store for him. He well knows when
European power warns, scolds,
threatens or commands him that
evey nation in Europe would light
any other nation there rather than al
low it to fight him. They all stand
in too great dread of that beginning
the end whereof no European states
man can think on with composure.
But with us the matter is far dif
ferent. Our ultimatum may mean
"business." Certainly we have been
most reasonable and patient in at
tempting to persuade Tui key to settle
our just claims.
OUR GREAT MILITARY NEED.,
We must abandon the happy-go
lucky system under which our war
department has always been conduct
ed. We must-have a general staff,
such as every armed state in Europe
maintains, if we are to be ready when
the next war comes.
Take, for example, the general
staff of the German army, the most
perfectly organized in the world. - It
is a large body of selected officers
the best in the arm- from major
generals to young lieutenants. Its
functions are to see that each depart
ment of the service is organized and
efficient, that all are prepared to act
together on the instant, that eyery
item of information for which a com
manding general might call would be
accurately and instantly forthcoming.
The general staff knows every day
where every gun, every cartridge,
every uniform is. It knows precisely
how many railway cars, carls, horses,
etc., there are at every station. It
knows bow many troops can be con
centrated at a given point within a
given time. Best of all, it keeps the
several departments quartermaster,
subsistence, medical, etc.- in perfect
touch each with rtie other so tbat each
will respond at once upon call. All
this is what is called "mobilization."
What a difference it would have
made if we bad had some such effec
tive means of mobilization as this at
the outbreak of the Spanish war!
How disastrous the lack of il would
be to us if some stronger nation than
Spain should suddenly force us into
war!
President Maso, of the so-called
Cuban Republic, calls the American
people "our ally of yesterday, our
host of todaj and our friend always."
This cbaracleriszation is all right.
The American people have shown a
friendship for the Cubans without
any precedent in the history of the
world. They have expended hun
dreds of lives and hundreds of mil
lions ot dollars to give freedom to
the Cubans, and they did this, too,
without any immediate expectation
of gain to themselves. They promised
to let the Cubans set up an independ
ent government if the majority of the
Cuban people desire it. This promise
will be kept. But there is no reason
to suppose thata majority of the (Ju
lian people want a separate govern
ment. When the voting takes place
it will undoubtedly le shown that
most of the Cubans want to become
part of the nation with freed tbem,
and which is able and willing to give
them the stability and the progress
which they could not gain by a gov
ernment of their own. Cuba, by the
free voice of its people, will annex
itself to the American republic.
The fact goes, into history that les3
than 25,000 American troops forced
Spain to capitulate and abandon that
island with its 200,000 Spanish troops
and to give up the war which her
brutality had forced. The reader
will say: "We knew all this before;
why this recital?" The answer is
tbat these glorious achievements
ousht to be constantly kept in view
to restrain the spirit of pessimism
now so rife in the country. Would
itnot be well if the public mind
could now be turned to more inter
esting themes than either the acci
dents or the faults of army adminis
tration, and the world be permitted
to see the American people a little
better reconciled to their own gov
ernment than some of our newspapers
have represented them to be during
the last fortnight? Cincinnati En

BIG FAIR IS OPENED.
Exhibits and Huslo Combine to IMeasc
llelallou of the Fair to Returning
Prosperity.
The Oregon Industrial Fair opened its
doors last night for the season of 18!)8,
under circumstances of special advant
age and distinction. For the first time
since 1897 the country and the city of
Portland are prosperous. Bountiful
crops, good prices and active trade made
a condition of universal cheerfulness.
The nightmare of bard times has passed ;
hope and the spirit of progress are in
the air ; better days have come.
The Industrial Fair in its beginning
grew out of two large motives, one look
ing to an annual exposition of the pro
ductions, industries and resources ot the
country; the other eeeking to provide
an interest great enough to attract the
people of the Northwest to its trado and
commercial center, and so bind the
country and the city together by the ties
of acquaintance and friendship and the
sympathy which always springs up be
tween those who. know and understand
each other. It was planned to make of
the fair a sufficient attraction to with
draw the people of the Northwest a little
while each fall from the grooves of bum
drum occupations, to expand their
knowledge and to refresh their epirits.
"Our annual fair," remarked a man very
active in organizing the first of the series
some twenty years back, "will be Port
land's annnal invitation to the country
to come and spend a little time with us
and see another side of human life and
human effort."
In the vicissitudes of time and fortune
there have been seasons when neither
city nor country had the leisure nor the
epirits for a period of pleasuring. Good
times and bad times have been reflected
iti the entertainment which Portland
has offered to the countrv ; but the ideal
which inspired the foundation of the
annual fair has never been lost. The
purpose still remains to show the con
ditions and the possibilities of our
country, and to bring together its peo
ple for the variation and refreshment ot
their lives and for their better mntual
acquaintance and sympathy.
FOR THE PROTECTION OF GAME.
An Effort Will be Blade to Have tbe
Legislature Adopt New Game Law
for Eastern Oregon.
The following is a condensed copy of
the revised game laws which are being
drawn op by the sportsmen of Eastern
Oregon for further protection of game.
It is noticeable tbat the game birds as
well as mountain and salmon trout are
being rapidly exterminated, and in order
to further protect them many of the
sportsmen of this section of the state are
desirous of naving game laws similar to
the following, presented to Commission
er McGaire, who will endeavor to have
the same acted upon by the legislature
All eportsmen are requested to otter
suggestions or make corrections on the
following laws. Anything of this char
acter should be in the handwriting of
the party sending the same and should
be slenea by them. I he following are
the laws:
1. To prohibit the killing of deer, elk,
moose, mountain sheep, antelope, etc.,
for the term of five years. -
2. the open season for grouse, Auz-
ust l to November l.
3. The open seaaon for prairie chick
en, August 1 to October 1.
4. To limit the taking of trout of any
kind, including the so-called salmon
trout under four inches in length, the
open season for tront to be from April
15 to November 1, this law to include
all the known kinds of trout.
5. To protect all streams against any
kind of explosive material and saw dust
and to prohibit any lumbering or manu
facturing company from using any
stream in Eastern Oregon to float tim
, ber in or any kind of wood or manu
facturing material, as the eamecaniea
more or less sawdust or rotten wood.
6. To limit the number of birds
killed in one single day by one person to
ten.
7. To protect the mountain quail and
bob white or any other kind of quail or
pheasant in Eastern Oregon for three
years more.
8. . To .prohibit the' sale of any kind
of game or water fowls or trout in the
public markets of Eastern Oregon.
