Tbe lack of unanimity in tbe Boise legislature is apparent in voting appropriations for tbe Lewis ton normal school and tbe state uui versity. Both are excellent institu tions, tbe personnel of their faculties comparing favorably with thai of any college in the union. Yearly tbe at tendance grows laiger, and almost, daily the needs ot these institutions demand that the state be more liberal iu its expenditures. Educational institutions fare badly iu tbe Inland Empire. It required a determined struggle t) obtain rec ognition for the Cheney Dormal school in Washington, and it appears the north Idaho schools are also fighting for their existence with a legislature that should welcome the growth of culture and learning of their neighbors' sons and daughters. In tbe older and more settled states th3 keenest pride is exhibited in uni versities and colleges. Few there are in tbe far East which have cot been endowed by wealthy men. Money almost without stint is al lowed by the state, and every en . couragement is given the boards of education to develop their theories and improve the moral and mental tone of the youth. The tremendous influence for good Ihese institutions exert is not realized by tbe legislators of these new state?. Their attention is more readily ai tracted by new penitentiaries and xeform schools, expensive capitol ' buildings and junketing trips for tbe members of tbe li"islalure. THE STEADY ADVANCE. There Is a class of men who be lieve tbat national prosperity does loot exist, just because a boom is not rushing double eagles into their .-pockets, in the little patch of tbe "United .States where they chance to abide. The heavy, unsolicited advanco in 'waes just recently made by iron Hesters and other great producers, An the East, is a living example of the upward movement of the times. These manufacturers who have added ten per cent to the wages of their lielp, employ more people than the entiie population of tbe state of Oregon. Hence it sounds so silly to bear an occasional small business man of Portland say tbat tbe country is going to tbe devil, because he can observe no betterment in bis indi vidual condition above that of thiee j'cars ago. These instances, however, fortu nately are rare. And when one does spring up, tbe complainant either is devoid of energy or neglects to advertise in a scientific style. Tele gram. THE PARTITION OF CHINA. Critics of the Paris treaty speak of expansion as a monstrous evil a policy freighted with destruction and despair, says the Review. They lose sight of tbe indisputable truth, which all history proclaims, that the po litical divisions of the earth must expand or contract, must absorb or be absorbed. Countries are great under ex pansion, reach their supremacy of power when they cease to expand, and pass into decline with the loss of their possessions. Thus Rome, thus Turkey, thus Spain; and thus China. For centuries the Chinese empire Las adhered to the doctrine of se clusion. Its boundary was long guarded by a great wall ; its ports were closed against the world's fleets; and its statesmen refused to participate in the diplomacy of na tions. The results speak for 'them selves. The Chinese nation has grown narrow, conceited and impo Its history has been written, tent, tvi tlia i?reat book is soon to 1 UC closed. Russia, Germany, England. Japan, and now Italy, bave entered upon the work of breaking the empire ! into fragments. Nations will rise to greatness, and their people will be broad, as they rise to their opportunities and their duties. The United States w.es its power and grandeur to expansion. It has grown greater as a result of the war with Spain, and its people bave grown in breadth and knowl edge. We bave learned our strength and have discerned our weakness, We know now that prior to this war we were becoming encrusted in a national conceit which was danger ous to our; peace and safety. In some measure we were indulging the perilous notion which has brought China to dismemberment that we were invincible in our numbers. We know now that population of itself counts for little in warfare; that the deciding factors are navies and dis ciplined soldiers. In brief, the judgment of the American people in international matters has broadened amazingly in a single year. Some persons seem to regard this change with trepida tion. THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA. It is often said by those who ob-J serve humanity superficially thatthe public will not in these end of the century days support that type ot the drama known as the legitimate. Actors who have tried to star and failed, dramatic critics, whose pro fession has rendered them cynical and placed them out of touch with the thought of real people, and those who follow the sayings of these two classes of men, often declare that the taste of the modern public is low. They cite the fact that ' such and such great star has failed in trying to carry a legitimate' company cn an extended tour, or that such and such a famous actress has ruined her health and depleted her purse in seeking to give remote sections of the country Shakespearian drama. So often were statements of this character made, and so many in stances of failure could be pointed to that a portion of the people came to believe it true. They failed to consider, however, that the failures were due not to the public lack of appreciation of the star's abilities, but to the fact that the supporting company and the staging were inferior. It, is odd how many great actors haye made the mistake of supposing that their own greatness will carry the whole com pany. The public wants, to see all the plays well done, but it especially wants to see the legitimate well done, or done not at all. A light, modern society play may be indif ferently presented and still give some amusement to a cultured audi ence, but a legitimate comedy or drama docs not admit of inferior presentation. The best is all that is good enough for it. In the hands of poor actors, although the leading roles may be well cast, a legitimate pity is to be shunned, and theater goers act upon this rule. Presented with poor support, there is nothing in the world so dreary to 'modern senses as the legitimate; well pre sented, there is nothing more at tractive. These things have been proven by the last tour of Henry Irving in this country. It was not his name alone that crowded his houses, but the fact that he was equally conscientious in his productions on the road as in his home theater. He demanded of his people the best. His support was of actors. 'His plays were staged in the highest of the play producer's art. Again were they proven by the all star presentation of "The Rivals' some years since, when the best actors in tbe land took minor parts at great salaries. The brief tour of the company was a tremendous suc cess financially, s well as artistically. And now, aguin, are they being proven by the tour of the James-Kidder-Warde combination. This company has played from New York through the Atlantic coast stales, through the south, through far away Texas, through Califorhla, and is now in the Pacific northwest. Every where, although prices at the theaters have been advanced, the houses have' I. I - I I ft V T V VRV LUC I UVV.U I Hi . " .-..j j people have shown their appreciation ; ... .1 v.. ' of the legittmalo as presemcu vy Louis James, Kathryn Kidder, Frederick Warde, and their support ing company. Sheridan's exquisite old comedy, "Tbe, School for Stan dal, and- Shakespearian plays have formed tbe sole repertoire, and the people have forsaken with delight the farce comedy and tbe modern society play to sec them. All of which goes to show that it is the taste .of the average theatrical manager and not that of the public that has degenerated in recent years. Spokesman-Review. Gomez, it is said, is opposed to the continued military occupation of Cuba by the Americans. Even if the Cubans decide for independence instead of annexation, which is ex ceedingly improbable, American mil itary occupation will last for several years yet. Until order is completely established and a government of some sort which will preserve order and protect the property and interests of all the people, foreigners as well as natives, is in operation in tbe island, American military occupation is certain to be maintained. This is a question, however, which is not m urgent need of speedy settlement. Oregon and Washington have so far been the smallest comparative sufferers of all the livestock-raising states, from the storms during tbe latter part of last winter. This will increase prices for cattle and sheep in the Pacific Northwest, an j make richer the wealthy stockraisers, who were so poor only a few years ago. The Birthday Party. A general birthday celebration was held last night in the parlors of Mrs. D. M. French's residence, about 20Q being present of all ages and sizei, from tbe girl of "sweet sixteen" to the sweet gray haired old ladies and gentlemen of sixty, tbe former and the latter eager to tell just how many cents they had con tributed, whild those of more uncertain ages dropped the tiny bags containing tbe birthday money a little bit more secretly. A great disappointment was experi enced when it was announced that Mr. Steele having been called home fh the afternoon on account of sickness, the A. L. P. S. could not appear as an nounced. Their first number was sup plied by a solo by Miss Myrtle Michel), the encore to which was "Kentucky Babe." Other numbers on the program were an instrumental duet by the Misses Nickelsan, 'a solo and encore by Prof. Landers; solo by Will Frank, which was also loudly encored, and a few very well chosen and happy re marks, by Mrs. Wilson, on "Birthdays." Miss Myrtln Michell elso sang "The Day That Is Gone." Lunch was served at the close of the program, and a very enjoyable time was bad by all, everyone joining as heartily in the pleasures as it it were really their own birthday. From a financial standpoint it was also a success, the ladies realizing tbe goodly sua of $72.40 Victory It Complete for the O. K. A N. The O. R. & N. has secured a decisive victory over the Northern Pacific in the fight for a right of way over tbe other's property is Columbia and Walla Walla counties for a route from Wallula to KLewiston. The last decision was ren dered by a jury in the superior court of Walla Walla, which decided the O. R. & N. was entitled to a right of way. Condemnation proceedings were in stituted by tbe O. R. & N. last Decem ber, which was fought inch by inch by the Northern Pacific. Finally the latter road, when it found it could not stop the other road, wanted $100,000 damages for the 312 acres condemned, but the same jury allowed damages, making the O. R. & N.'s victory doubly effective. That road now has a clear,' field into Lewistou.

France, Russia, Belgium and Ho'and each pro duce about the same quantity. Couldn't Believe Her Own Dor. An old West of England country woman, speaking to a district visitor of her son who was a sailor, said: "Ah, ma'am, my sen that has been to the north pole, he tells me some things that T really can't believe, though he is my on. lie tells me, ma'am, that he has seen with his own eyes 'ice bugs' ns big is a church." All the cleanly instincts of the old soul were in revolt at the bare possibility of such monstrosities Japanese Imitation. A Japanese named Takuma has been turning the skill in Imitation, with which his countrymen are gifted, to nefarious ends, and has been convicted at Sydney of forging seven copies of a rare early New South Wales Etamp rated at $400. Tbe Imitation v.ns so perfect that the stamp were purchased by dealers and eent to London, where they passed the scrutiny of several ex perts. Ltelani on Health. Mrs. Sarah M.
