ISrynn as an orator on the occasion of a Washington birthday anniversary celebration in the national . capital, but it was entirely characteristic. In 1897 Bryan made a speech in favor of throwing tbe mints of the country wide open to silver on the birthday anniversary of Jefferson, tbe man who, on bis own authority, closed all the mints of tbe country to silver. In 1898 Bryan made a speech in favor of the bogus dollar at an an niversary of tbe battle of New Or leans, held to commemorate the memory of a robust champion of tbe honest dollar, who, if Bryan bad been active in Jackson's days, Jack son would have been strongly tempt ed to bang, as be did Ambrister and Arbutbnot in Florida during the Seminole war. This year when Bryan spoke at the exercises in the national capital on February 22nd, the mem ory of the first of American expan pansionist was celebrated by tbe noisiest and most persistent of American anti-expansionists. Earlier even than Hamilton or Jefferson, Washington was an ex pansionist. Long before the war of independence, Washington saw tbe necessity of uniting the- region West of tbe Alleghanies to the Eastern states by wngon roads and waterways. When be went on that historic em bassy in 1753 to warn the French to get out of the Ohio valley he saw the military importance of the site on which Pittsburg now stands, and began bis studies of the best way to connect tbe rivers flowing into the Mississippi with those running to tbe Atlantic. This was when the whole region east of tbe Alleghenies be. longed to England, and sixteen years before Daniel Boone got his first glimpse of Kentucky. He had soci&l interest in the Western country be fore the French and Indian war, and his confidence in the future of thr vtrans-Allegbeny locality led him to Xe among the first of investors in its lands. lie formed project for con necting tho Potomac with the Youghiogbeny river by a bigh road over tbe mountains, and thus estab lish close connection between the Ohio and Mississippi and the At lantic scaboaid. At a time when the Eastern states were cither jealous or apathetic in their attitude toward the West, Washingtou saw tbe importance of keeping inierests of the Western settlers closely united with those of the older part of the couutry. With a clear vision regarding the necessity of knitting the West to the East by bonds of social and pecuniary in terest than was possessed by any other man of bis day, and thus to head off the secession and separatist movements which he fuesaw would arise in the West if the needs of that section in tbe way of communication with the outer world were neglected by the East, he urged congress to, In his own words in one of his letters to a congressman in 1777, "extern! the navigation of the Eastern waters, to open them to the Ohio, and to bind the Western people to us by a chain which can never be broken." As president a few years later, he ndvanced the same ideas in messages to congress and in letters toinflu- ential men West and East. He was the first of great Americans to cross tho Alleghenies; he saw more of the Eastern side of the Mississippi valley i than any other American statesman of bU day ; lie grasped the necessity of extending tho settlements to the Mississippi earlier and in' a clearer way nan any other man of bis time, j and be, as president, did more than I t U7 other man of his period to K feat the plotsBritish, Frencb, Span ish and American which were con coded in the years between 1781 and l9a to separate the Western ; settlements from the rest of the country. Wf.8uina.ton was the first and the greiueal i f Aimricau ei-ian-1 sionisT. (llobe-Demotrat. .1 MAk'IXU CLBA AMERICAS. ... ...... " . . . , . era v are eazer for the departure of tbe American troops and for ap op. portunity to form a government of their own wiih power to raise money by taxation and the use of the public credit. But they must not be too urgent or irretuous about this mat ter. They must keep in mind the exact terms of the pledge adopted by congress. Tbe resolution runs thus: "The United States hereby' disclaims any disposition or intention to ex ercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said island, except tor the pacification thereof. And asseits its determination when that is ac complished to leave tho control of the island to its people." Before we withdraw there must be unquestioned pacification and a government or dained by tbe whole people of the island, not by one province, or two, but by the whole six. The pressure brought to bear through the Cuban p:ess to hurry our departure is al ready more strenuous than circum stances warrant, or than is consistent with our national pledge. The Cubans do not see one of the most serious troubles uhead, and that is the danger of quarreling among themselves on both provincial und racial lines. A large Spanish element remains in Cuba. It is used to au thority and well acquainted with tbe! weak as well as the strong character istics of the Cubans. It will count for as much as possible in the future of the island, influencing tbe govern ment and retarding its Americaniza tion. Then tbe different provinces are not harmonious. Santiago is much displeased over the order to send a part of its revenue to Havana. Foreign property must be protected, and it will be a nice question to de cide when our responsibility in that regard can end. Cuba must first be pacified. Then its people, all of them, can select their government. We are as much pledged to this con summation as wo are to withdraw. That Cuba in time will be American ized is certain, no matter what gov ernment it selects. American busi ness energy will find there a permanent and legitimate field, and will be properly protected. Globe Democrat. OPEN RIVER TO THE .SEA. The state needs a railway com mission, and it needs an open river to tbe sea. When these are had, the railway problem will cease to exist in this state. Tbe construction by the general government of a short portage road at Celilo on tbe Colum bia river, and the improvement of ibe lower Snake river would open a com petitive highway from the heart of the Inland Empire to tbe sea.' Tbe products of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho could then be load ed on steamboats which would de scend the Snake and the Columbia to Celilo. There the 'cargoes would be transferred to other steamers lying at the lower end of the portage road, and these in turn would bear them to sea-going craft on the lower Columbia. This would bring down freight rates in a jiffy, and the railroads would have no appeal to tbe legisla ture or the courts. The railroads would meet the river cut and go on handling the tonnage of the in terior; and we may be sure they would be glad to do the business, even though rates were lowered forty or fifty per cent. With an oper: river to tbe sea and the lower freight rates which that wou'.d bring, the agricultural in terests of this section would be as prosperous as are now the minimi interests Five or Jsix cents would bo added to the price of every bushel of grain grown in this section ; and taking one year with another, five cents on a bushel of wheat marks tho difference between a dangerously cloc margin of profit, and a profit Wuicn would make better times for ve.y worKer ln ashmgton Review. The government very wisely gives Dewey everything that he asks. The reason the government docs this is because tt knows ho will not ask for .nyiuing except oii u.. public does noi know exactly "bat were the "poli"c reasons", he bad n mind, when he wanted the urpgon to be Lurried to him, but the Ore- 1 Son is stca ruin" in his direction all the air.o, and tbe people are pleased i1"'' " 1 . In one important particular IJewey is like Grant. Grant asked the gov eminent for very little, but that little was needed when he asked for it, and it was always promptly fur nished. Tbe government and the people have unlimited confidence in Dewey. Tbe oublic at large, it is not too rauuh to say, Joes not share in the partisanship at tbe bottom of the un seemly controversy between Schley and Sampson. They feel that both admirals did grand service in tbe war against Spain, and that, as Schley once put it, "there was glory enough for both." What they desire is that both shall be honored. Some criti cism has been made of tbe adminis tration because of the advance of Sampson above Schley, but it is by no means an unprecedented thing to advance one officer of the navy or army over a senior in rank, when the emergencies of the case seem to war rant such a proceeding, and that the president believed Sampson was the right man for the chief command of the naval operations against the Spanish fleet and the Cuban ports held by Spain must be conceded. Tbe trouble first took definite shape, so as io be dangerous, with the prop osition to reyive the grade of ad miral, for the benefit cf Rear Admiral Dewey, whose important work in the Philippine islands wasdeemed worthy of a reward no less. Friends of both the other rear admirals thereupon de manded that tbe other disused grade of vice admiral should be revived, and, both parties wanted it for their favorites. It even went so far that the deserved and desired promotion of Admiral Dewey was endangered In fact, the matter of reviving the higher grade was "hung up." It is to be hoped with the obrtructions cleared away it may now be pushed through speedily, as tho people de sire it should be. Astorian. Spain has nothing to gain by giv ing aid and comfort to the Filipinos A small fraction of renegade Ameri. cans started out a month or two ago to help Aguinaldo, but tbe frequency with which adversity hits that con spirator recently has terrified his friends on this side of the water into silence. Fate is against Aguinaldo, and Spain can well afford to be guided by the example of his Ameri can admirers and quit giving him any moral support His days in the land are numbered. WILL THE DALLES TAKE PART? How W May Entertain Oar Editorial Uueata In July. On July 4th about 500 editors, from every state in tbe union, accompanied by their wives and daoghters.will arrive in Portland, wbere great preparations are being made to receive them, and, during their stay of about two weeks, to aitertain them in a manner that will impress them with the geniality of western people, and the wonderful re sources of our state. When in Colorado last year, not a tone was left bnturned to advertise to the fullest extent every city, town, mining district, summer resort, and par ticnlarly the grandeur of the scenery of that stale, and for months after the editors returned home every paper was filled with Denver, and Colorado in general. Oregon now has the opportunity to have jutt such nn advertisement, if she will accept it In its fullest sense. Our visitors should not go away with the Impression that Portland comprises the wholeof Oregon, and they will not if plans are carried out as intended, it having been arranged to give excursions up and down the river and to the differ ent seaside resorts. Many places along the .railroad are appointing committees to meet our Visitors at the state line, some of them taking musicians with them thatthe trip may be made pleasant, and as they reach the different towns, souvenirs and pamphlets regarding the resources of that section will be distributed so that they may have literature to refer to ip. writing up their trip. The question now arises, what will Ti.e Dalles do to Introduce itself, and to give them some idea of one of the prin cipal cities on the coast as regard the amount of business done here and the different products shipped Irom her doors? An excursion is to be given up the river, but it is not likely they will com through to The Dalles, as the trip could not lie made in a day, anl e hive not Ibe facilities for entertaining them over night; neither could e ar range to Jrive them over the city nor through the country. Perhaps it would not ha policy to undertake te latter any way, when we consider the condi tion or our roads. It has been tngneeled that the Com mercial C!nb extend an invitation to the editors to stop oh" in this city for an hour or so as they paes through on their way to Portland. The train could be drawn up in front of the lub and the guest,! conducted to the rooms, where perbps strawberries ana cream and such fruits as are ripe could be served At the tame time pamphlets could be distributed regaiding our city and the i wonderlul farming and Iruii lanua near here, Desiues giving Biaumica ui ihb salmon industry, wool and wheat ship ped from here, etc. A splendid idea would be to erect a laige arch of wool over, the track, or in some prominent place, which would not fill to attract attention. Let us consider this subject in its true light and the benefit to be derived there by, and make our plans in due season, fiuch an entertainment would require but a slight expense. Shall we take part with the other cities in welcoming our guests? riKSONAL MKXTIUM. Mondav i Dally. Miss Helen Lytle returned to her home at Wasco last night.
