RETURN OF THE YOLVNTEERS
. Regarding the return of the vol
unteers from the Philippines, the
.Spokesman-Review has this to tny:
Governor Lee's letter to President
McKinluy, demanding tho return
from the Philippines of the South
. t) ikota regiment, Is generally re
t pudiated l) the people of that state.
f A Deadwood dispatch says "Lee's
. most intimate friends censure bis
: action. The general sentiment of
the Deadwood people of all parlies
is against the letter."
A Mitcliell tmpaicn tue :etlcr
'-lias created a P'Vat deal of unfavor
; able comment." K. II. McLnin of
v tbst Vjlace, who has a son in the
giment, said: "I do not believe
my son wants to come borne so long
as there is fiobtinji to.be done. He
will stand by bis country's Hug."
An Aberdeen special says: "Gov
ernor Lee's letter is severely criti
cised on every hand. Business men
and citizens generally regard it as
a foolish action on tho part of the
governor."
A Yankton dispatch says: "The
general opinion of those expressing
themselves is that the letter is in bad
taste, and does not reflect the senti
ment of the people of the state."
These statements of correspondents
are reinforced by emphatic inter
views with a large number of prom
inent citizens of all shades of political
belief.
Governor Hogcrs of this slate, and
Governor Steuncnberg of Idaho,
have shown the ood taste and patri
otic spirit to decline to write to the
president a demand for the return of
the volunteers of Washington and
Idaho. Governor Steuncnberg takes
the sensible position that such in
terference, before any of the state's
volunteers had expressed a wish to
return, would be unwarranted and
in bail taste.
While it is true the volunteers en
listed nominally for the war with
Spain, and that war is ended, a tine
sense of duty tells them that their
place is at the' front until other troops
can be landed and put on the firing
Hue.
In this connection the Minneapolis
Journal publishes a vigorous cartoon.
One part of the picture presents the
governor of South Diikota in bis
easy olllce chair. The other shows
a South Dakota volunteer on the
firing lino. His face speaks courage
ous determination, and he is saying,
"Who is doing this fighting anyway?"
We all want to see our gallant
volunteers saf j again in the heart of
the great country which gve them
birth. We are proud of their superb
courage and soldierly discipline. We
are profoundly grateful for the honors
which they have bestowed upon
wes ern ciLizenship. But we want
them to return with flying tings and
souniling bugles, and with the laurels
they have so proudly won unquestioned.
vailed at the JetTersonian inaugura
tion
other Democratic romancers talk
about. The Aurora, which was one
of the yellowest of the Jcffcrsonian
papers, snid, In its edition of March
11, 1801, describing the inauguration
ceremonies, that "at an early hour
on Wednesday, March 4, the City of
Washington prerented a spectacle of
uncommon animation;" that "at 12
o'clock Thomas Jefferson, attended
by a number of his fellow citizens,
among whom were many members of
congieis, repaired to the capitol;"
that "he entered the capitol under a
diecharge of artillery" and that "as
soon as he withdrew a discharge of
artillery was made."
The borse-hitching fake, which, of
course, Kidpath hireself did not in
vent, but merely repeats, was a cheat
in its couctut'n and a fraud in its
'V.stribution, for many ot those who
have retailed it undoubtedly knew it
was false. Equally tricky is Hidpath's
sneer about the "venal ofllue seekers,
Jefferson during his eight years of
service removed thirty-nine federal
officials. All the other presidents
along to Jackson Washington, John
Adams, Madison, Monroe and John
Quincy Adams removed only thirty
five in the aggregate. Jefferson
turned Goodrich out of tlie office of
collector of New Haven and put
Bishop in. Goodrich was capable
and bad given satisfaction to the
neonle of his district. Bishop was
78 years of age and incapable.
Jefferson put Goodrich out because
be was a Federalist and put Bishop
in because he was a Democrat.
When the citizens of New Haven,
Democrats and Federalists' alike,
protested against this outrage, Jeffer
son defended himself by asking, "If
a due participation of office is a
matter of right, how are vacancies
to be obtained ? T'iose bv death are
few, by resignation none." The
greater part of the assertions and
deductions of tho Bryan-Ridpath
party is a mixture of ignorance and
mendacity. The ignorance belongs
to the Bryans and the mendacity to
the Ridpaths. Ridpath probably
knew there was no truth in that
horse-bitching fable. lie unquestion
ably knew the Goodrich-Bishop af
fair and the rabid partisanship that
it betrayed.
RID PAT 11 AS A ROMANCER.
Ne t all the follies and absurdities
of ihe dollar faction JetTersonian
bunquei in New York were uttered
by William J. Bryan. John Clark
Ridpatn contributed his full quota
to the imbecilities of that gathering,
Said Ridpath, it was a fitting thing
that the Miithor of the Deslaration of
Independence "?hould at last, in his
dtmociatn way, ride up to the presi
dents! tnnnslon, like the plain man
that he was, hitch his horse, and
make reufly, without the presence of
a c .Vale rie of venal office seekers,
to take the oath ns thief executive
of a democratic nation."
Timi horse-hitching story is a
fiction. It comes up every four
years in the Democratic press
throughout tie country, but not the
iiilit-,t Htom of truth was ever in it.
No mention of any such thing was
made in ny of the papers published
i ilit e. On the contrary, the
reooM. f that day show that a wide

NO POLITICS IN IT.
The peculiar construction placed
by influential journals i f England on
the return of General Lawton's fly
ing column from Santa Cruz is
amusing. Evidently a false im
pression exists on the other side of
the water ns to the real cause for
evacuation of towns on the north
coast of Luzon de Bay. London
papers interpret the movement as a
check, whereas Lawton met no
serious opposition in bis march and
captured every inch of territory be
set out to lake.
Only one reason is apparent for
Lawton's return to Manila. To hold
the conquered territory required a
larger force than the American army
in the Philippines could spare.
Lawton had sternly impressed the
natives with the power of American
arms. He had scattered broadcast
the proclamation of the American
commission and taught the enemy to
understand that war with Americans
is futile, that peace is most desirable.
It wss never the intention to garrison
any of the towns, else the flying
column would have been five times
as large. His entire operations were
an unbroken series ot successes.
Another phase of ibc question is
the exaggerated importance given to
the political effect of operations in
the Philippines. The Spectator be
lieves "the sufferings of the troops
will help the democratic reaction
and the repatriated troops are not
likely to be missionaries of imperial
ism." Strange that such a well
informed newspaper as the Spectator
should so misunderstand the volun
teers under Otis. It was the vol
unteers who demanded active
83rvioe. It is the volunteers wto
the retirement of Lawton from Sinta
Cruz and other territory rcecn'ly
occupied by his flying column
Spokesman-Review.
More good American blood has
been shed on the altar of national
expansion. Catastrophes like this
are a necessary part of war, and the
only queries to be settled are whether
our troops died the death of brave
men, and whether they were sacri
ficed to an unnecessary error of
judgment. There is no evidence of
an ' unravoraoio answer 10 tnese
questions, and the conclusion is safe
that the engagement, like others of
its kind, results in advance of the
cause of American ascendancy and
nearer approach of peace. When
the good work that is now being
done in Cuba and Porto Rico is
possible of extension in the Philip
pinea, these afflictions will seem light
in view of the more exceeding
splendor of the American name and
the conquest of dark regions to light
and liberty. Oregonian.

THING IN RETURN
Eat tern. Oregon has a (treat diversity
of toils and altitudes, and how to make
its bleak ami bare spots produce and
put up for their war taxes is one of the
laudable ambitions of the 0. R.& N. Co.,
which is making persistent effoits to
develop the natural resources of the
country. The problem of making the
i ich areas produce Is no problem at all
fur they show for themselves, and need
only the necessary working. Taken in
the aggregate, the unproduetivo spots
comprise a large area, and if they can
he made to do their share of the gen
eral work, the breadstuff of the world
will show an imir.erise increase.
At Telocassett, Grande Ronde Valley,
the 0. It. & N. Co., is having three and
a half acres sown to ten varieties of
grasses, and when tho survival of the
fittest shall show which of the grasses is
the most successful in defying sterility,
drouth and tempest, that kind will be
spread pretty promiscuously througout
similar localities. A. B. Ickenby has
charge of the seeding. He is n expert
on grasses, and agrostologist for tlie
Pacific coast division of the United
States department of agriculture.
Among these ten varieties, the kinds
that inspire the most confidence is Brown
grass. It Is a kind that refuses to be
sat down upon by wind or weather.
Mr. Leckenby ie going to supervise for
the O. R. & N Co. the setting out of
fifty tacks of Bermuda grass roots that
the truffle department has just received
from Fresno, Cat. Tbey are to be eet

lines, w here it, might servo the double
purpose of anchoring the drifting sands
and affording good pasturo for stock.
Bermuda grass generally defies drought
and makes a thick sod, and keeps ever
lastingly green. The roots may be,
pulled up, hung on a clothes-line for a
few weeks, then replanted, and they
will come up smiling and make green
the landscape. Astray root fell off a

Thinks Right of Entry Through Alaska
to Northwest Territory Would He
About Right aud Will Try to Se
cure It.
New Yohk, April 24. A special to the
Herald from Washington s'nys: Although
willing to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, Great Britain has made it plain
to the United States that she expects an
equivalent in return for her action. Tl ie
equivalent will beexacted during the re
gotiatiens of the A mericar. -Canadian
corumieeion, which is to resume its ses
sions in Washington in August next.
It is becauee of a demand for concet
sions equal in value to that which will
be given to the United States in the
abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
that the negotiations have not progressed
with the promptness at first expected.
It is apparent to the officials now that
Great Britain proposes to use the propo
sition to abrogate the treaty to further
ts own aims iu connection with the
settlement of the Alaskan boundary and
reciprocity questions.
Great Britain is determined to make
every effort to secure entry to the North
west Territory through Alaska, and the
United States is not willing to give it, to
her. It may be, therefore, that sue will
suggest that in return for such an out
let she will surrender all her rights in the
Nicaragua canal.
President McKinley and Secretary
Hay have determined not to enter into
any negotiations with either Costa Rica
or Nicaragua respecting the Nicaragua
canal until the new istbmain canal com
mission has submitted its report. The
Nicaragua canal commission will report
within a short time, and the president
will then announce the pereonnel of the
Istbmain commission. The new com
mission will then proceed lo Panama and
later to Nicaragua, and it is the exptct
ation of the president that it will submit
its report in time for consideration early
in the next scsson of congress.
