SPAIN CAN'T DO IT.
The dispatches from Madrid re
iterate the statement that if the
United Mates does not make proper
concessions Spain will resume war.
One day it is said that if the United
States does not assume the payment
of the Cuban debt General Blanco
II . At . o :
win reopen nosumies, aim tuai ofjaiu
will fight to the bitter end. Another
day it is reported that if the United
States insists on retaining the Philip
pines Spain will decline to accept
any of the conditions of the protocol,
and will continue the war.. All this
is nonsense.' Spain can't do it.
The fleet of Spam in the Pacific
ocean was annihilated by Admiral
Dewey. The only effective fleet she
bad in the Atlantic was destroyed at
Santiago. She has an active army
in Cuba since the surrender at Santi
ago of 100,000 men. She bus in the
Philippines since the surrender of
Manila an effective army of about
25,000. She has in Porto Rico,
awaiting transportation to Spain,
about 6,000 troops. She has an ef
fective army at home of about 95,
000. Bv calling on the first reserves
this can be increased to 250,000. By
calling on the second reserves, the
Spanish authorities contend that they
could put 1,500,000 men in the field.
But if Spain had th. whole Russian
army at her command, well organized
and well equipped, she would be
powerless to continue the war, for
she has no navy. She could not send
troops on transports to the Philip
pines, because the American fleet in
the Pacific would destroy both trans
ports and troops. She could not send
suf p'ies to her army in Cuba, or re
enforce it, because our Atlantic fleet
would capture both supplies f and.
troops. -
moreover, Spain cannot keep an
urmy of 500,000, or even 100,000,
n the field, for she has no money to
,pay the troops or purchase ammuni
lion and equippmcnts. She in carry
inga debt of $1,232,912,000, and
even in ordinary times her annual
expenditures were $15,000,000 more
than her revenues, since the war
opened she has increased her expendi
tures to such an extent that the Bank
or spam has become Hopelessly in
volved, and the government finds it
almost impossible to place loans at
home or abroad. She has . lost the
revenues from Cuba, from the Philip
pines, from .Porto I Rico. She has
spent twice as much' money as she
can force from her people,, can bor
row no more, and is, in ''fact, hank.
rupt V batever her ministers may
say, Spaiq will not resume the war,
simply because she can't do it.
Bankrupt and without a navy,
with a demoralized army and a popu
lation od the verge of revolutiou,
Spain must submit. The United
States is not presenting exorbitant
demands. We are claiming less than
any other civilized nation would
claim after such victories as we have
won. . We are exacting no indem
nity. We demand only territory
that we have conquered. All foreign
nations admit the justice of our
claims. Not a single European
power would help Spain when she
was believed to have a navy equal to
onrsond an armv vaatlv snnerinr to
onr own. It is not possible that any
government will help her" now, when
soe nas no navy ana when uer ar
mies have been defeated.
-Spain is broken, moneyless, help
less, and friendless, and, in . such a
condition, she will accomplish noth
ing by threatening to resume the
war, because all the world knows
that she can't resume it.
THE COURAGE XF DESTINY.
The greeting extended to Presi
dent McKinley on his way to Omaha
and the welcome given him in that
city were significant of popular feel
ing, but more significant than either
was the enthusiasm evoked by bis ut
terances as to the war and the policy
of expansion.
At Clinton. Iowa, the president
said : "We have a good national con
science and the courage of destiny.'
This is a pregnant phrase. With a
good national conscience, the. people
are prepared to weigh questions of
right and wrong, to act intelligently,
to consider rightly the interests of
Uhe nation. With the courage or
destiny they are ready to act up to
the trreat demands ot the new era
upon the nation and national policy
In his sneech at Cedar Rapids the
president said : "The American peo
ple never shirk a responsibility and
never nnlcad a burden that carries
lorward civilization." The president
could not with propriety make an ap-
Dlication of . this principle, but he
a '
could with propriety enunciate a
principle that has application to the
one great question before the people.
If the American people do not shirk
responsibility, and if they do not un
load a burden that carries forward
civilization, they will insist on hold
ing the Philippines.
The president says distinctly: "We
cannot accept any terms of peace
which will not be in the interest of
humanity." No one believes that it
will serve the interest, of humanity
to surrender the Philippines to Spain.
Nine tenths of the people, on the
other hand, believe that we can serve
the interest of humanity adequately
only by retaining the islands. This
belief is not that of politicians or
commercial men alone, but of the
churches and missionaries. The re
sponsibility is on our shoulders. The
obligation is upon us, and we must
discharge it in- the interest of
America and civilization.
Wherever he spoke the president
emphasized the importance- of the
people's standing together. At
Clinton he said : "The people who
think alike in a country like ours
must act together. That is what we
nave been doing recently, and we
must continue to act together until
the fruits of our war shall be em
bodied in solemn settlements." At
Boone, Iowa, he said: "At, this
critical hour in the nation's history
we must not be divided. 'The
triumphs of war are yet to be written
in the articles of peace."
livery one can see what is upper
most in the president's mind. He is
not calling on the people to stand by
him so much as he is exhorting their
to stand together against the dangers
of indifference. He is asking the
people to keep their faces turned the
right way, . He. wishes them to re
main shoulder to shoulder, that the
nation may not lose what was gained
in war. He asks them - to stand to
gether in the settlement of the great
war questions, as they stood together
during the war. " He speaks not as a
Republican, but as an American,
warning his fellow citizens again&t
an indinerent citizenship in mis
critical hour of the nation's history,
All that the people need do is to
heed bis admonitions, and they will
then see the triumphs of war perpet
uated In the articles of peace.
NEEDS OF OUR SHIPPING.
. The London newspapers admit that
with the close of the war with Spain
there has come to the United States
an improved prospect for a great
merchaut marine in foreign trade,
They concede that the country which
built the victorious fleets of Sampson
and Dewey need not fear competi
tion in material resources, mechani
cal appliances, and constructive tkill
from any shipbuilders, in the world.
Admitting this, they argue that if we
desire to build up our merchant
marine we must adopt the policy of
free ships. - This is the English view
or our ;uture in toe wcriu s carrying
trade. It is not the American view.
We have demonstrated - that we
can build the best warships in the
world. We have shown that we can
make our battle-ships more seaworthy
than those of England, and that we
can give them greater speed without
sacrificing power in battle. We
never have lacked skill in shipbuild
ing. - We never have fallen below
British standards, in the vessels
turned out from our ship yards, but
we have failed to have a great mer
chant marine because we have been
induced to adandon a policy that
built dd the merchant marine of
Great Britain, and, in fact, of every
maritime nation of Europe. We
have sacrificed the interests of our
shipyards to an argument put forward
by American-British free traders.
We have protected the shop and thd
actory, but have sacrificed four ship
ping interests to an economic fetich.
: It is characteristic of the London
ntwspapeis to plead now for a repeal
of our registry laws and tor free ships
though the . . repeal of the reg
ister - laws at this- time
woull paralyze the very industry
which we aim to stimulate. Instead
of repealing any legislation we should
enact such subsidy laws as will take
our American ships into the Atlantic
and Pacific under, conditions as
favorable as those under which Eng
land sends her ships to every com
mercial port in the world. With our
splendid achievements In war shut
ting us away from the old era there is
no reason for the old- prejudice
against subsidies that has so long
prevented us from" securing the full
advantage earned by our enterprise
Great Britain is not at all 'uncertain
upon this point. She paid for foreign
and colonial packet service during
the year. 1897-1898 some $3,397,000,
exclusive of the colonial contracts
covering lines between Vancouver
and Australia and between New Zea
land and America. The Bombay and
Shanghai service costs annually
$1,107,790 and the Adelaide service
$710,655. The carriage of the mails
between the United Kingdom and
New York alone calls for $538,470.
In England they do"" not call these
subsidies;' They are subventions or
payments to' encourage the shipping
trade, and they answer the purpose.
Germany, too, has a system of
mail subsidies for the development
of her colonial and foreign trade.
The subsidized service includes a
European line to Asia and an East
Asiatic line, an Australian line, and
an East African linejat a total cost of
$1,247,500. Thisjsystem undoubted
ly will be extended to other centers
of German trade, since merchandise
carried by these ships to China and
Australia has more than doubled in
value. . -
We stand almost alone among the
commercial and naval cations in the
neglect of our shipping interests.
Now that we are close upon an era of
great commercial development and
have fixed our eyes on a new field of
trade in the Asiatic Pacific, there
certainly should be among those who
favor the expansion policy no op
position to any plan that will give us
shipping facilities equal to the in
creased and increasing, volume of
American trade. The statesmen of
England have never for a moment
neglected to give intelligent consider
ation to their shipping interests, The
statesmen of Germany have followed
the English example with conspicu
ous success. The government of the.
United States, looking forward to a
rivalry with England and Germany
on every sea, must adopt the same
course or confess defeat before en
tering the race. Ipter Ocean.
France is on the verge of nervous
prostration, and if a striker should
let off a firecracker in the vicinity of
the Chamber of Deputies these days
the chances are that a Bonapartist or
an Orleanist would be able to ac
complish a coup d'etat before the ex
citement subsided.
We have begun the shipment of
beer to the Philippines in return for
shipments Of cigarettes. It will be
interesting to watch the effect of
this traffic Bets are even on the
beer at present; but the cigarette is
admitted to have its strong points.
It seems that the Emperor of
China is not dead, but was simply
turned out of doors by bis mother.
The woman of the Orient is not quite
as much of a nonentity as. has- been
supposed. . . .
All the money that Spain collects
from the United States for "damages
received," and all the colonial debts
that this country will assume, can be
covered with a postage stamp.
Mr. Bryan's eagerness to get into
the army and then to get out indi
cates that his nature is more impul
sive than would be desirable in a
position of great responsibility. '--

Iho Burnt District.
"It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good" is an old, but true, caying, which
has been proven in the recent fire which
visited Hie Dalles. While it was a great
loss to a number of onr citizens, in the
long run it has proven a benefit to the
city. It is to be regretted that the small
shacks which were destroyed- could not
have been replaced by brick buildings;
but every structure which has been built
is a decided improvement over the for
mer ones, and will add much to the ap
pearance of that section.
The new stores are fast being finished
and occupied. The old Fitz Gerald build
ing, to be used by Mays & Crowe tem
porarily is nearing completion, the floor
being laid today, and that firm will move
in in about ten days. Johnston-and
Faulkner are preparing to move their
hardware stne at once; yesterday Wil
der, the photographer, Pollen, the tailor
and Lynch, the barber, moved into their
qnarters in the. Van Bibber building
while Burgraff's restaurant is now open
on the opposite side of the street.
Ground is being broken on Ward's lot
adjoining the restaurant; and here will
be erected a structure to be nsed by
Marders as a saloon. Other additions
will in a short time be made, until, we
hope in the course of a year not a
vacant lot will be seen.
Baees Daring; The Fair.
The outlook for the races at the fair is
very good, much interest being mani
fested in tbem. Already at tbe track
are found euch horses as"Lo Li," "Jim
fBozeman," "Twister," "Mark Hanna,'
"Senator Wilson," "Nerooso," "Be
gonia,"and "Volta." There are also
fonr or five saddle horses training for
the saddle race, and ponies galore for
the' pony race. Monday morning it is
expected that fonr or five carloads of
trotters and pacers will 'arrive from La
Grande.
Among thoBe who have horses wbicb
it is thought wonld win honors in the
roadster race and who it iB hoped will
enter them, are Messrs. Scbneck, Hob
son, Pease, Fowler, Stephens, Mclnerny,
Rhodes, Hinton, Murchie, Downing,
Moody, Comini and MacAllieter. If any
of the gentlemen mentioned or others,
desire to enter for the roadsters race, it
is requested that tbev do bo between
this time and Monday evening.
Millions Given Away!
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in tbe land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and Buffering. .. The proprietors of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption
Caugha and Colds, have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and have tbe satisfaction of
knowing it has absolutely cured thous
ands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bron
cbitis, Hoarseness and diseases of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough
