The increase in the foreign trade
of the United States this year exceeds
in value the entire foreian trade of
the country for any ear preceding
1850.
' If there was a Nicaragua canal the
Oregon and Iowa would be at Hono-

South America.
While the easy-chaired functionary
who presides over the Leland Stan
ford University was traveling over
the country and criticising President
lIcKinlev's war policy, the state of
California responded with a majority
of 80,000 for the party which -Presi
dent McKinlev represents in national
" m
affairs.
Some of the. local representative
districts in Kansas are so evenly
divided politically this year that the
result of the election can not be
definitely determined until the sol
dier vote shall have been received.
Some of the Kansas troops voted in
mid ocean while en route to the
Philippines, and in the meantime the
candidates at . borne are waiting
patientl' to hear from Manila pre
cinct.
There will be the smallest number
of Democrats in tbe United btatcs
: senate after March 4th next than
there has been for 2C years. The
number will be 26. ; In the elections
of 1872 tbe Democrats got only 20
senators. : But that was 20 out of a
senate of 74 members. In the elec
tions of 1874 this representation was
raised to 29. And since then the
Democrats have al way 8 had just a
rfew less or just a few more than the
TStepublicans. Twenty-two of these
, 26 senators will be from eleven South-
ern states. .
. . We are told by telegraph that
- Cainara's fleet,. which kept out of the
"-way of American squadrons by dili
gent "homing," is now "rushing" to
""meet and greet Emperor William.
But when he sees it and Is saluted by
it will he not nsk, "Where are all the
rest of the ships that once constituted
"Spain's-navy?"'' What a "farce it is
to treat Spain now as n "power," and
what folly for her to hope as the de
spatches ay she does for "support"
from the German Emperor! The
-"end of Spauisb power- came, when
Cervera's fleet was destroyed off
. Santiago. ' '- ; - J. .
It is a feartul story of outrage,
. arson and murder that comes from
North Carolina. And yet it is, in
essentials, not so bad as that from
Illinois. - In North Carolina lawless
. men have banded themselves together
- to deprive a local negro majority - of
its privileges of citizenship. In II-
' linois the governor of - the state, has
nullified tbe constitution of the
i - United Slates by forbidding colored
. miners from Alabama and Indiana to
come into Illinois In search of work,
and has declared that if they come
be "will shoot them to pieces with
Gatling guns." No worse example
f race intolerance ever occurred
even in the lawless period that fol
lowed reconstruction.
Geneial Wheeler lost no time, after
bis re election to congress, in defin
ing bis position on the new and great
question of the day. Though a Demo
crat, he is no. Bourbon. Therefore
he declared: "The bislory of the last
300 years has conclusively shown
that colonial governments alone can
retain permanent control" of foreign
markets. I am a firm believer that
it 'will be in our power to instill the
principles of American civilization in
the peoples of the Philippines." In
these two sentences is summed up
the full-orbed , truth of the whole
matter. The reason for. keeping the
Philippines-is that their retention is
demanded equally by the interests of
the-United States and of the Filipinos
themselves. . It is a clear case of the
harmony of self-interest and ' phil-
anthropy. This duality could not be
more clearly and briefly expressed
than in these two sentences. . Would
that the Democracy were more pro:
lifio of Wheelers and less proliflc of
Baileys and Bryans.
The departure from this city for
Manila of four young women well
' prepared by careful training for the
responsible and arduous duties of the
hospital nurse will relieve to some
extent the pressure of anxiety .which
has long rested heavily upon the
homes from which the brave boys of
the Second Oregon , went out last
April. The tardiness of tbe medical
department in dispatching assistance
of this character to the Philippines
in view of tbe urgent need, is one of
the inexplicable things of the war,
Much that has borne hard upon the
soldiers has been excused on the
ground of lack of experience in mov
ing and subsisting: large bodies of
troops, but obedience to the simple
dictates of common sense was all that
was necessary when it .came to the
question of providing nurses .for the
hospitals. Fever patients can, if
they must,' get along without doctors
and potions, but care and nourish
ment they must have or die. These
young women go out with a benisoc
from a thousand homes, and with the
fervent Godspeed of ten thousand
anxious hearts. Oregonian. .
Margall, the old Spanish Republi
can leader, talks wisely in saying that
Spain will be stronger without the
Philippines than she would be With
them. One difference between Mar.
gall ani the others Figueras, Sal-
meron and Castelar who were at
tbo head of tbe so-called Spanish re
public of 1873, is that Margall was a
sincere Republican, who bad a strong
and intelligent admiration for the
United States, and who had an earn
est desire to give his country a gov
ernment as nearly like that of the
United States as tbe differences be
tween the character and capabilities
of the two peoples would permit.
Unlike the more showy and less sin
cere Castelar, Margall would ' have
given Cnba, which was in revolt in
1873, the reforms which that island
asked for, and would even have
granted independence tocher. Un
happily for Cuba and Spain, the ma
jority of the alleged Republicans took
the Castelar rather than the -Margall
view oi the situation, and continued
the policy of repression which had
forced the island into . revolt, and
which, fn a new rebellion a quarter of
a century later, compelled the United
States to intervene. Margall is mis
taken, however, . in - supposing the
Filipinos will insist on getting abso
lute independence. There are ex
cellent reasons for believing the is
landers will be satisfied , witti tbe
measure, of home ryle which
United States will give "them,
companied, as it will be, with
the
order, stability and business prosperity
which would be impossible under
either Spanish rule or independence
THE YEAR'S IMMIGRATION.
With the immigration of tbo last
fiscal year down to less than 230,000,
and showing a decrease from the
previous year in spite of our prosper
lty, many oi tne troublesome ques
tions connected with immigration
seem to be in a fair . wav to settle
themselves.
That there is still a large number
of undesirable immigrants is shown
by the statistics of their illiteracy
and poverty. Of those over fourteen
years of aze 43,057 . could neither
read nor write, and of the whole
number 96,203 had less than $30
apiece. j ' - .
No European country would per
mit us to send them immigrants of
this description, And no illiterate or
pauper is a desirable addition to our
population.; Still, the average stand
ing of our immigrants is steadily im
proving, and as they represent a total
increase of less than one third of 1
per cent to our total of population
they cannot be considered dangerous.
Our real troubles are much more
serious; our threatened troubles are
immeasurably greater." -

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
Curator Ferrill, of -the. Colorado
Historical and Natural - History
society has revived the old; question
whether1 the Oregon country was in
cluded in the Louisiana purchase of
1803. " ; " . :" ' -
Binger IIermanuf commissioner of
tbe general land office, himself an
Oregonian, after careful historical re
search, has reached the belief that
Oregon was not in that purchase, and
has directed tbe publication of a cor
rected official map excluding it from
the Louisiana tract. Curator Ferrill
takes the opposing view, and John
son's Encyclopedia, in its article on
Louisiana, asserts that the purchase
whjch Jefferson made from Napoleon
for $15,600,000, included "nearly all
of tbe present states of Louisiana
Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota
Dakota, Nebraska, most of Kansas
and tbe Indian territory, part of
Colorado, most of Wyoming, and the
whole of Montana, Idaho, Oregon
and Washington." '
Nevertheless the weight of history
is against Mr. Ferrill and with Com
missioner Hermann. The boundaries
of the Louisiana purchase, as set
forth in the treaty with France, were
vague and indefinite. When- tbe
treaty was under consideration, the
American minister directed Napo
leon's attention to this fact, and Napo
leon drily suggested that it was all
the better, then, for tbe United States,
a friendly hint which our. minister
promptly accepted.
The United States acquired Ore
gon through a combination of widely
remote influences and claims, and the
Louisiana purchase was one of 'the
weakest pegs upon which we bung
our claim. If we had been limited
to that claim, we should have made a
sorry show in .the long controversy
wi th G reat Britain. We should have
lost Oregon. '. ;
We acquired the northwest coast
through discovery and. occupation.
In point of, original discovery no
other nation hdd so strong a claim to
the Oregon country as Spain. ' Her
navigators were the first to sight its
misty shores. We acquired Spain's
rights through the treaty of 1819, by
which all territory north of 42 de
grees nortn latitude was expressly
declared to belong to us. " -
Meanwhile the United States had
driven a strong discovery peg of its
own. . bpanisn, Kussian ana intisn
navigators bad done little - beyond
coasting along the shores, of the great
unknown land. In 1892 Captain
Robert Gray sailed the Colombia
across the bar of . the great stream
which now bears the name of bis ad
venturous little ship, being the first
to demonstrate the existence of tbe
river. In the long controversy with
Eugland, the United States laid great
stress on this undisputed fact. "
Importance was also attached to
tbe brilliant " explorations of Lewis
and Clarke, who" commanded the
government expedition sent over
land in 1804 by President Jefferson.
They ascended the Missouri river.
crossed over the Rocky mountains,
and followed the wild . passes and
wilder rivers to the sea. " . : '
Here were the links of discovery
and exploration. To them was added
the stronger link of occupation first
by the Astor Fur Company, with its
posts at tbe mouth of tbe Columbia,
on the Okanogan, and in tbe Spokane
country." Later came an influx of
American trappers and mountain
Lmen, men tue missionaries or , tne
Methodist church and the American
board, and then, through the; '40s, a
growing wave of immigration .which
swept down through the Willamette
country and up into tbe fertile
valleys of the Puget Sound region

Slilp Atlanta Wrecked.
Truly this is a year of accidents. A
telegram Irom Newport, Or., yesterday,
gives an account of tbe wrecking of tbe
ship Atlanta atAlsea bay, sixteen miles
below Newport.-Z C . ' ;.
The ship, which was first-class, in
good condition and of 2800 tons; left Ta
coma a week ago today, Captain Mc
Bride commanding, loaded . with 1753
tons of wheat for Cape Town, an African
port . Tbe vessel is broken in two, ber
masts are gone and the decks Bwept
clean of everything. Of a "crew of twenty
seven men, so far no is known, only two
got ashore alive, .
The life-saving crew from Newport had
been sent to the scene when the telegram
was received and more definite news will
no doubt reach us soon.

Edward Warren, an opium fiend and

the fire which destroyed Canyon City,
he being a guest at the hotel where it
started, and was angry at some of . the
residents there. He has been apprehend

lynched if it can be proven that he com
mitted the crime. It is hoped, however,
that the people will thoroughly investi
gate the matter and not be rash.

Mr. Tripp was restored to the healthful,
useful activity suggested at the beginning
