Out of a spirit of mere partisanship it is doing all it can to engender strife between Can ada and the United States. It pretends to fear that England and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Domin ion premier, will trade off Canadian i interests for the sake of the Anglo- American alliance, and to support its absurd contention gives a grossly in accurate review of historic incidents bearing on the fixing of the boundary between Canada and the United Mates. England, it claims, has made a wanton surrender of Canadian ter ritory, and on that line it refers to the Oregon treaty, saying: 'In 1840 the Oregon treaty was made. By it England gave awny northern California, Nevada und the states of Washington and Oregon without compensation of any kind, and through ignorance of the value of the tenitories. A young lord's letter, it was said, bad quite an in fluence, lie was hunting in Oregon, and be wrote home that the fish and game there were no good." The converse Is the case. England drove a wonderfully shrewd bargain for Canada. The United Stales had superior title to the entire watershed of the Columbia. By treaty it bad acquired the discovery rights of Spain, and these rights were fortified by Captaia Gray's discovery in 1792 of the Columbia river, bv T.ewi ami Oarke's explorations in 1804--,. hv I , John Jacob Astor's occupation of the country long before the Hudson's Uay Company came in, and by actual possession and settlement. At the time the treaty was signed which made the 49th degree of latitude the boundary line, smoke was rising over the disputed territory from a thous and American cabins. Although Polk was elected on a .'platform expressly declaring for -American ownership of the Oregon country up to the line of 54 40, "with or without war with England," British diplomats wheedled him Into a square backdown, and he shuttled upon the senate the responsibility for the adoption of the unpopular treaty. These historic facts are not re called in a lamenting spirit, but to point out the unreasonableness of the Toronto paper, in finding fault, at this late day, with England's adroit settlement of the Oregon question. TJJISCxS WIIIV1I HOAR FORGETS Senator Hoar's speech against ex pansion is the strongest which has been made on bis side, and is probab ly stronger than any which any other Isolationist will make. It Is not quite so convincing, however, as he and his friends imagine It to be. The senator quotes President McKinley as saying, about thittcen months ago, in a message to congress, that "forci ble annexation" was "not to be thought of," because, as the president declared, "under the code of morality that would be criminal aggression." Thus the senator accuses the presi dent of inconsistency. Then he at tacked Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, who spoke in tavor of expansion a few days ago. "I maintain," said (he Massachusetts senator, "that the powers of the United States must be affirmatively delegated or they do not exist. In other words, the im plied power rcferied to by Mr. Piatt, the power to govern territory ac quired through war, does not exict." As the senator is a student of American history it may be well to point out to him one or two instances in the annals of bis country in which changes of conditions made men change their posiiion. On July C, 1775, the American congress formally disavowed any intention on the part of the colonists to separate from Eng. land, although Lexington, Bunker TI'il nd other battles had been t that limejTiconderoga and Point had been captured, and unthnrized the raisins presidential aspi of an army of 20,000 meu, ami made W.hinton commander-in-chief. A year later congr.ss reversed iu disa- vowal of serration, and declared for that policy. According to Senator Hoar's theory, the American, in the hc. 1 ' T of 17d3, iLtead of insisting eaee JnJependence aiiouM Lave gone back l oo into vassalage. In July, 18C1, after the war of secession had been under way three months, congress passed and president Lincoln sigued a reso lution declaritg, among other things, that "this war is not waged" with any purpose of overthrowing or interfer ing with the rights or institutions of those (the seceded) states," but to preset ve the union. The emancipa tion proclamation, subsequently, and the thirteenth amendment, both or which interfered with the institutions of the seceded states very seriously, must, according to Senator Hoar s reasoning, have been as he character izes President Mckinley's conduct, "immoral and wicked," The senator's contention that the United States government has no power except what is "affirmatively delegated" is as ubsurd as is his charge of inconsistency by Mr. Mc- Kinley, because the latter changed his position after the situation had changed. Jefferson in 1791, opposed the United States Bank, on the ground that the constitution did not affirmatively delegate any power to congress to create any such institu tion. Madison, Gallatin and nil the other Democrats of that day or of the next three or four years took the same ground. All of them, Lowever, reversed themselves subsequently, and Madison as president signed the bill to create the second Utited States Bank, which was modeled on the first institution of that name. Jefferson could find no aflhmatlve authority in the constitution to annex territory, nor could anybody else. The supreme court, however, readily found this authority in the implied powers of congress. It is an adjunct of the power of making war and of making treaties. Senator Hoar is a learned and eloquent man, but it is difficult to treat his inconsistency charges and his constitutional quibbl ings and trivialities seriously. CRADLE OF G Elf ICS. Commissary General Eagan en tered the army fiom Washington ter ritory, and after the civil war saw serviceal Fort Colville and other narth western posts. General Miles may also be fairly claimed as a Washingtonian. For five years, from 1880 to 1885, he was in command of the department ot the Columbia, with headquarters at Vancouver. His record proves him to have been a military genius. WithoutWest Point training, he left the drygoods counter to enlist as a private in the civil war, and though without political influence, he rose, by sheer merit, to the rink of brevet brigadier-general before he was thirty years of age. Washington and Oregon have been the cradle of military genius. Grant saw service at Vancouver, Walla Walla and other nort iwestern posts; and Sheridan, as a young subaltern, received his baptism of fire in the galling fight with the Indians at the Cascades of the Columbia. Sherman had service on the Pacific coast, although he did not come north of California; but Hooker at one time had charge of the military roads in Oregon. Brigadier General Kautz was at Fort Steilacooni in the 50s, and many others who have risen to distinction won their spurs in ashlngton and Oregon. Spokes man Review. Bryan is still against expansion and Crober is for it. This shows that on this as on most of the really import ant issues the Democracy is now, as it usually has been, a house divided against itself. Crokcr has the senti ment of all the progressive people in the country on bis side, but to this extent bis position is un-Democratic. The majority of the party to which he ostensibly belongs is against bim. Bryan is opposed by probably two thirds of the voters of the country, but he has a majority oi the voters of bis party with him. This consider tion counts for a great deal with Bryan, for in his role as perpetual rant it will be neces j sary for bim to have the caucuses aud conventions of bis party favorable, There is a strong probabil.ty that if j the Democratic convention were held j today fry an would be nominated. So long as tbU pleasing prospect con- on . Unues the Uepuoncans are urCu oi a majority of at least IM in me eiec. torsi college of 1 500. The Filipinos who object because Gen. Otis signs himself "military governor are entirely loo sensitive. ' Military government is inevitable for a time when a country changes bands, and this presupposes a mili tary governor. In fact, the Filipinos are showing an ignorance of the re quirements of tbo posiiion in which , the United States and themselves are placed which proves that they have much to learn before they can safely TV ' ' " 7 ... lairs. 1 lie tannery uvci nin be established all over the islands, and the duration of this regime will depend largely on the tractabilily and sanitj of the Filipinos in conforming to that government's requirements. Some Englishman, pretending to know more about the Filipinos than Admiral Dewey or General Merritt, recently declared that Americans promised the natives of the Philip pines Islands independence, and that under this promise the Filipinos re sisted all overtures from Germany and trance. The Englishman makes a mistake. The Americans made no promise of independence. Admiral Dewey went to Manila to destroy the Spanish fleet and to take possession of the city. The Filipinos were in no way concerned, and no promises were made to them. Tf If lioonmoa nncoeunrv frr fhn United States troops in the ted States troops in the Philp- pines to wbip Aguinaldo ana bis heathenish followers, we hope they will make a complete job of it so they will know for all time they are whipped. Some of the sort of medi cine the English used in India to show the natives the disastrous con sequences of opposition to civilized methods will likely have to be ad ministered to the obstreperous Fil ipinos, and it ought not to be stunt ed. It should be given In allopathic doses. Allowed by the County Court.

Cl I . . . m ouaaeepeare ana nis interiors also have failed to persuade the people that there s nothing in a name, and conse quently, when many of our theater-goers considered the title of last night's play, they branded it as a second class "Uncle Tom's Cabln"show, and therelore failed to attend. However there was a fairly good-sized audience in attendance, none of whom were in the least disappointed. Although the plot of the play lay along virtually the same old lines, there was enough oi variety to cause one to wonder if they all finally "lived in peace, died in Greece," etc., and if "Dora" married "Jack," what was to become of "Frank's" happiness. After all, we felt that some orphan should ban stepped upon the scene and taken him "out of the cold." While each character was well taken. "Aunt Llndy," "CalebCroc," the miser, and Fred Trusedale as "Kinks" exeout ed the most difficult parts in manner worthy of special mention. Miss May. hew won the admiration of Dalles peo ple as the "button girl" in the "Pulse of New York" company last winter, and many times last night her actions seemed familiar, particularly in her cake walk. She is certainly an "all- around" actress, taking the negro char acter fully as well as her former cast. In the third act the Fountain Citv Onurtuf .n......! : i , .. -t . iu negro melodies, and the audience at once felt they bad their "money's worth," or were de termined to get it, for encore after en core was given, and responed to. When Negro singing is good at all, there is no melody like it, and this quartet would be very hard to beat. The entire play was first-class. Promotion on Merit, Hospital Steward F. C. Crosins, of Hood Kivcr, firmerly regimental sur geonof the Third battalion, O. N. O., has been declared highest in the medical examination for second assistant sur geon for the Second Oregon. At the time the board for examination was called, Colonel Summers announced that be would recommend the man passing the highest. Accordingly, the colonel addressed General Hughes, provost mar-hal-gcneral, commanding the brigade including the Oregon regiment, asiing ) that Governor Geer be cabled the recom. mend'ation. The cable sent reads : "Headquarters, Second regiment, Ore gon United States volunteers, Coartel Espana, Manila, P. I., December 12, 180S. Governor William P.

It is re ported that the matter in regard to Kin caid is spite work. It is not likely that any official investigation will be made, outside of the regularly appointed com mittee. It is reported that the entire assembly will visit the agricultural college this week, going to Cor vail is by special train. A bill will be Introduced in the house this afternoon reducing the state board of agriculture to live. Interest now centers in the scalp bounty bill ; also the railroad and tem perance measures are receiving mnch at tention.
