CUBA'S FACTOX A L SQUABBLE
The wrangle which has taken place
between the Cuhan assembly and
the adherents of lien. Gomez shows
the weakness in Spanish-American
character which has leen fatnl to so
manv of its sovernaients. Tbe as
ST
serably, which represents the insur
gent army only, and which is com
posed chiefly of officers of the
insuraent forces, has turned on
Gomez, whom il idolized until a few
davs aso. and charges him with
treason, to Cuba. The same body
made a disturbance at tbe funeral of
Garcia, and attacked him just before
his death on tbe accusation that be
bad betrayed the Cuban cause.
There is evidence here of an unfit
ness fcr self-government which will
strike intelligent friends of Cuba
inside and outside tbe island. The
only thing which prevents a civil
war in Cuba at this moment is the
presence of the American troops.
The assembly has turned against
Gomez as savagely as any of its
members ever did against the Spanish
government, and it would fight him
with the same weapons and with tbe
same persistence that tbe men com
posing it fought Spain. The presence
of the United States prevents a
oreacti or the peace ana preserves
order, but the factional feud which
has been developed will continue,
and would cause trouble for tbe
island if the American soldiers were
to be withdruwn.
This does not mean that tbe United
States will have any difficulty in
maintaining order. The American
programme will be carried out ener
getically and persistently. All the
insurgent forces will be disbanded
as a necessary preliminary to the
restoration of normal conditions in
the island. The fact that Gomez
favors disband ment on the payment
of tbe $3,000,000 promised by the
United States is t e chief reason
-why the assembly has turned ngainst
him. The assembly stands out for
a larger subsidy, and, as this is not
to be given, that body opposes the
American plan of pacificuliou. The
probability is that most of the
money will go to the officers, and
this is the reasou that that junta
wants the sum to be increased. In
this purpose, of couise, it will fail.
The hostility of the assembly will be
encountered by the United Slates
until that body falls to pieces, and
this end, as shown by the factional
strife in its ranks, seems to be not
far off. It is fortunate for the masses
of tbe Cubans and for the business
element in the island that a power
which is able and ' determined to
preserve order and to administer
even and exact justice to all persons
in the island has control of affairs in
Cuba at this moment. Globe-Democrat.
of the bar of New Jersey. Here is
an example it would be worth while
for Oregon to follow. In the de
velopment of Pacific ocean com
merce now in its infancy, some one
of the Pacific states will become the
center of capital and of the forces
which relate to capita!. California,
with her sandlot constitution, is bad
ly handicapped j Washington, through
her experiment with populism and
ber trick of violent political action,
stands discredited. Oregon, if she
will, is in a position to command the
confidence of the commercial and
financial world. The prize is worth
trying for. Oregonian.

THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY.
Bchedal f Eipeadltaree
A striking illustration of the busi
ness value of political stability, of
moderation in taxation and of a
general soundness of public opinion
in i elation to property? is afforded
by the recent business history of the
state of New Jersey. Capital vs
pouring into that stale in floods not
so much for local investment as for
organization under state laws for
operations all over the United States.
New Jersey is becoming a great
headquarters for large capital, and
the state draws enormous advantages
from it, through taxation and other
wise. The corporation laws of the
state are not more liberal thau those
of New York," Connecticut or Massa
chusetts? but the political atmosphere
is better. The Jeisey legislature is
not, like the New York legislature,
a mere cinch mill, and there is no
dispositien constantly to cba'nge the
laws. The reasons for capital com
ing to New Jersey to organize are
the permanency of the corporation
laws; tbe upright administration of
these laws by the various depart
ments; the character of the executive
government and the heads ot the
The world loves a flash; its heroes
must blow tram pets. The pomp and
heraldry of war stirs the heart and
fires the brain today just as effective
ly as in olden times when David
paralyzed Goliath with tbe frizzled
end of a porphyry dike. Thus, says
the Baker Democrat, history is a
record of bloodshed, midget against
midget in the great universe fighting
over cobwebs and the honor of our
anthills until fleet-footed time launch
es tbe brief, fidgety lives of all into
the capacious vortex of eternity.
The pages of history are patented to
the heroes of war. He can eternally
scatter the internal viscera of the
enemy to the four winds with a
rapid-fire machine gun. Tbe seeker
after bubble reputations e'en at the
cannon's mouth the political puppy
with a pull are remembered, but
what beed is given the heroes of
peace? The man who patiently
struggles with adversity who labors
day in' and day out in dangerous
vocations, in a solemn march with
death, that his loved ones may live
he, too, is a hero. Home heroes find
no record in musty tomes; no sound-
ng timbrel notes their advent; no
roses are scattered in their paths
their deedi are recorded only upon
the pages of the white, unsullied
register in that "mansion not made
with hands; eternal in the heavens."
We have our full quota of these
heroes here. God bless them! They
i. re delving in tbe mines 'mid dismal
and portentious shadows; they labor
in every walk of life, carrying with
heroic smiles tbe burdens of tbe day
and making possible the home sun
shine that nurtures civilization and
builds up the noble, manly instincts
ot the race. Tbe pioneers of this
erstwhile wilderness, who stake their
lives, their fortunes and their hopes
in the unfolding of a new empire and
the creation of a commonwealth, are
home heroes. The prospectors who
cheerfully faced hardships and priva
tions undreamed of, that others may
garner the wealth their indomitable
courage compelled nature in her
most rugged shape to disclose, are
home heroes. The men who throw
their restless energies into the de
velopment of our industrial life are
home heroes and shed tbe luster of
their efforts over thousands of happy
homes. All honor to the home hero
who makes it possible for man to
live, rather than glorious for him to
die.
It has taken a stupendous amount
of red tape and circumlocution, but
the proofs are before the country at
last. We know now beyond perad
venture that rascally meat contractors
poisoned the men who went with the
flag. Tbe country has official proof
that the refuse of the great packing
bouses of Chicago was crammed into
tins and sold to tbe United States of
America as sustenance for men who
had given the supreme test of patriot
ism.
When the vile scraps were canned,
it was known they would be fed to
men on the march, on guard at the
danger line, and in the trenches at
the firing line. The rascals who sold
the repulsive refuse were, guilty of
murder and treason. If justice were
done, they would be shot, and their
ill gotten millions confiscated to pay
pensions to the dependent relatives
of their victims.
Admiral Dewev now asks for a
few more small gun-boats. No doubt
be feels ashamed to tackle the Filipi
nos with a warship, and wants to get
down to a pop. gun plane of equality

OREGON VOLUNTEERS TO STAY
Little Prospect of Their Early Return
From Manila.
The recent congress was a billion
and a half dollar congress. The
country, too, is a billion and a half
dollar country at this time. The
expansion in expenditures was chiefly
due to the war, though, of course,
part of it was caused by an increase
in population and business. The
growth in inhabitants and industrial
activity will continue. It will be
advisable to practice economy in
public expenditure wherever Ibis can
be done without injury to the
service, but at the same time it is
well to bear in mind that the govern
ment of 1809 can not be run for the
same amount of money that
used in 1873 or 1889.
The Oregon volunteers fnay have to
remain in the Philippines nntil tbe
trouble is over. When that will be is
only a guess. General Otis is said to
be planning a blow at the insurgents
that is calculated to hasten the end. In
notifying the authorities at Washington
of this fact, he incidentally stated that
the boys were willing to remain as long
as thero was need for them.
There is a difference of opinion as to
when and how the war will end. Many
think that tbe aggressive campaign be
ing inaugurated will soon croeh tbe in
surgents, while there are many who
think it will take years to subdue the
Filipinos.
It is the general opinion now that the
volunteer army will be kept where it is
until the trouble is over. The boys have
in a measure become acclimated, and
have learned much of the ways of war
fare of the natives. This makes them
more valuable than a lot of regulars
could possibly be, and it would be a
fatal mistake many think, to replace
them nntil the American forces are in
complete control on the island.
A good deal has been eaid about the
volunteers having fulfilled their con
tract, as they enlleted for the Spanish
American; war. That war being long
since ended, it is claimed that the boys
are entitled to come home. While this
may be true, the volunteers are filled
with that same kind of patrotism that
caused them to give op good positions
and homes when they were needed. No
one doubts that they will remain where
they are as long as needed, and indi
cations are that they will be needed for
a good while. Telegram.
