The atrocious affair at Newman, lporpin. was a crime against the nation, aaya the Spokesman Review We are at war willi the barbarians of the Philippines and the savages of Samoa, ami our right to make this warfare is pitched on the theory that a high civilization is always Justified in efforts for the expansion of progress and the extinction of sav agery. After the recent tragic en- gagement near Apia, the savage Samoans beheaded their victims, and by that atrocity put themselves out side the pale of civilized consideration. In the fighting around Manila, Aguinaldo'a men have systematically tired on ambulances and Red Cross workers, and committed other bar baric and savage deeds which have cut ibem off from the sympathy of . civilization. At this juncture a Georgian mob of 2000 men startles the world by burning a negro at the stake, and accompanying that horrible venge ance with atrocities which few ' savages would care to perpetrate. Deplorably, this savage crime and all its horrifying incidents will be reported in Europe, and used by the critics of the United States as evi tlence to sustain their false conten tion that the Americans are upon a low plane of civilization. The entire nation will be misjudged on the savage frenzy of the Georgia mob. The utterances of the Atlantic Constitution and the governor of Georgia on the shocking affair at Newman are deplorably weak and pusillanimous. The editorial of the Constitution breathes a spirit of sympathy for the frenzied men who have disgraced Geoigia. It argues that because one depraved negro was guilty of shocking crimes, 2000 Georgians were justified in the com mission of deeds which would shock .even a savage people. The Constitution is the leading journal of Georgia. It helps to mold public sentiment. Its duty was plain. It should have spoken in sharp sentences which would have cut like 4 whip and burned with caustic energy. It should have shamed the savage white men who have com mitted gross crimes against civiliza tion, and held them up to the scorn of all decent people. Instead of facing its duty, the Atlantic paper has extended a miser, able invitation to other mobs to repeat the fiendish sets of the mob at Newman. It has invited the contempt of the American nation. "The difference Is," added she, "the mistake of a person prominently before the public is at once taken up by the press, while the shortcomings of a society woman are concealed by her own set." Telegram. n ermoior incntatage folk have stepped aside tieated like other people in Spain, from the path of rectitude. But but it would be absurd to expect any then, she asks, how many members gushing welcome for them in that of the best society have similarly ! country do fallen ? DEFESLS HER PROFESSION. Jessie rSartlett Davis, one of the purest and most intelligent women in the lyric dramatic profession, refers with indignation and contempt to the clergymen of this period who berate the stage as immoral and cor rupting in its influences. She claims that such clergymen are provincial in their ideas, because tbey scarcely have poked their noses beyond the confines of their parishes. Mias Davis quotes the Hev. John Watson (lan Maelaren), who says that as good lessons may be learnt from the stage as from the pulpit. Hf, Miss Davis says, is a broaJ vicwed man, strong in his apprecia tion and knowledge of what Is Ijenefloiol to mankind. He is the type of man to lead his fellows safe ly along the path of true, uuuffectcd morality. She contends that only the weuklings in the pulpit, reaied .. I . 3 - -1 t t i in uigmiMi bcuooi? ueiongin to a past are, underrate the value of the puie drama as an elevating Instructor. Miss Davis claims that she has net a professional fiicnd whose purity of character, refinement and polished manner would not grace the best of private society. In fact, real good society has long aince warmly wel comed the highly respectable cle ment of the "profession" within its fold. She does not deny that aome prom- 21R. REED'S RFCIREMET. Personal good will anil apprecia tion of past achievements will atiend Mr. Reed upon eutenng a new field He baa done the country much ser vice and the Dconle know it. But events, imperatively demanding ac lion, have moved a little faster than the distinguished member from Maine has been inclined to go. If Mr, Reed had been president there would have been a war with Spain just the same, no matter bow strong his preference for peace. The country ordained it and congress, holding the scales, was absolutely certain to meet the issue. No power on earth could have prevented the war. President McKinlev was not eager for it. He held back congress as long as it was practicable. The course of Reed as president could not have been differ ent. He would have called a great army to the field and waged hostili ties vigorously on land and sea. War with Spain was not a policy. It was an inevitable event, a neces sity. The same stern law of unavoidable sequence has governed the labors of the administration in settling the war. Criticism is one thing, re sponsibility another. Mr. Reei as president would not have ordered Dewey to abandon Manila after bis victory. An army would have been sent there under any Republican president. The pressing duties of each succeeding day would have un folded the same under any admin istration possessing the American spirit. Mr. Reed may regret the trend of the adjustments of the war, but he will not venture to fay spe cifically how they could have been improved or omitted. lie may Dot care to work along the lines of an expansion unexpected to all, un welcome to a few, and imperative beyond all question. Nevertheless, expansion must go on by the force of destiny and the will of the people. The Republican party hus only re spect and good wishes for Mr. Reed and hopes that he may catch step aain if he has lost it, as the party performs its high and unmistakable mission Globe-Democrat. Senator Teller says the gold Dem ocrats will support the Republican in 1900 as they did in 1896. There is a strong probability that the sen ator is correct on this point. Bryan is making the task of the gold Dem ocrats toward joining the Republi cans very easy. The gulf at the present moment between Bfyaa and Perry Belmont, the head of the New York Democratic Club is as bioad as it was between Bryan and Palmer or Cleveland in the campaign of 189C. Palmer and Cleveland threw up their hats when tbey heard, on the night of November 8, 189C, that the Republicans bad swept the country. They will, for a precisely similar reason,' shout on the night of November 6, 1900, when the tele graph brings the news of the over whelming Republican victory. 1 hi 4 v A Chicago physician would check the increase of crime by prohibiting the marriage of criminals, and sug gents that habitual criminals and degenerates be done away with somewhat similar to the old Roman svstero of throwing them from the Tarpeian rock. A good idea if the doctor can suggest some means by which the victims can be impartially selected. Everv one would think the other fellow should be selected to take the heroic jump into thin air. All temperance advocates will doubtless be flattered and encour aged by a late decision of the ap pelate court on the long mooted question: Is hard cider intoxicat me? "If the court know herself and she think she do," hard cider is intoxicating. Peg one for the court Josh Billings settled in his own the same question relating to beer, when be said : "After the time I bed last nite, I hev come to the contslushyon thet if lagger beer a'int intoxicatin, it used me almtty mean. THE GIPSY OUTFIT. A Bear That Wil llare How the Baby Frightened a Deck Hand. Hawaii has postal savings banks. They have proven successful and greatly beneficial to the people of the island who have made use of them. It is stated that the deposits in these banks at the present time amount to something over $1,000, 000, which is about H0 per capita to the population. The working class es in the islands are suid to be profiting from these banks, and through them considerable sums of money, which would otherwise have been hoarded, have been placed at the disposal of trade, industry and enterprise. It is proposed to make the postal system of Hawaii bcrinon ize with that of "the mother country." Instead of destroying the good institutions of Hawaii it should be the aim of the "rulers of the United States" to encourage them end introduce them here at hoir.c. The slights received by Emma Ne vada, the American singer, in Spain will not make anybody in the United States excited. They are just what might be expected nt this time. No body had any right to suppose that the Spaniards would gush over any thing or anybody American so soon after their defeat by the Americans. It would be unreasonable for an American to look for tn ovation in Spain at the present time. The spirit which t'je Spaniards ars show ing is just about what would be displayed by any other people in like circumstances. Nobody has ever heard or read that the French gave any effusive greeting to German singers, musicians, lecturers or any other sort of Germans within a month of the ratification of the treaty of peace. Within a few more months or yeara Americans will be The passengers who came up on the boat Wednesday were greatly interested in and amused by a gipsy outfit which was taken on at Corbett's Landing, and consisting of three men, two women, a boy, two small children, three bean and numerous other adju nets wholly in diepensib'.e to the completeness of inch an aggregation. One bear in particular succeeded in making itself conspicuous for its very bareness. It was impossible to determine to what type it belonged, but from all appearances it might have been a pole or bear, being lank enough to be either, and surely lacked enough fur for a person taking only a furtive glance to decide it to be the latter. His neck was bare, the greater part of his body was bare, he being in the act of shedding, while bis legs were barely covered. But he bare bis share of the burden and could dance the two-step or a cake walk as gracefully as many society peo ple upon whose fortunes he depends for a living. His only fault in that line is that he might be classed among the "buggers." He is also a scrapper from away back an J knocked the other bears out In every round. When the steamer landed the women had their numerous goods, chattels and valuables arrayed on the beach, and the deck hands began the process of piling them on the deck. Noticing an old gunny tack lying among the other rubbish, one ot the men grabbed It np and was in the act of slinging it on hoard, when it was seen to move as if alive and the brave man immediately dropped it like a hot potato, enly to be informed that it contained a baby, and so it was tenderly brought ashore. Many passengers who watched their actions on the trip up were led to wonder at the concern which one of the gipsy women seemed to Icel regarding a a little 3-year-old child who appeared to be ill. As one of the piiitlemen passed by she besought him to do some thing for her little one. Stooping dow n be felt its head and pulfo and told the woman that her child was quite sick, and needed care. She burst Into tears and grabbing the little one In her arms, hugjjed it to her breast as tenderly as would any more civilized mother, and prehaps more tenderly than w ould many mothers of this age. Even among these uncouth, wandering people the mother love is still predominate, and those who noticed her cuddle the unattractive littlo babe so tenderly, felt there was yet some good in her makc-np.

It Will He Vastly Different From Ike One GlTen Lant Summer. Editor Chronicle : Noticing an ar ticle In your paper yesterday to the effect that another Sunday excursion from Portland to our city is contem plated in the near future, let me just inquire through your columns whether or not it is to be of the same nature as the last one, and If so, how, iu the name of common cense, can the city receive any benefit whatever from their coming? Citizkn. Had "Citizen" given particular at tention to the notice in yesterday's paper he would have divined that It was put in in the form of an advertisement. Therefore, we would add that whether the city receives any benefit thereby is according to the light in which it may be viewed, and depends altogether on the kind of excursion given. If the citizens of Portland choose to come to our city and spend the day in a quiet, respectable manner, we certain ly should welcome them, no matter what our own opinions regarding a Sunday excursion may be. But if, on the other hand, the day is to be spent as was the last Sunday when an excursion came from that place, they should be politely requeeted to remain at home and thus prevent the quiet of our Sabbatn being disturbed by their drunken brawls and disgraceful pro ceedings. For truly the citizens of The Dallas were justly indignant at the rowdyism displayed by many who were with the excursion last summer. While among them were some of the best people of Portland, who came to pass a time with friends, they were disgraced and chagrined by an element which evi dently belonged to the scums and who came with the intention of taking the town by storm. The order under wl.ijh the excursion was given was not responsible for their actions and as deeply regretted it as did the members of the order here, which is composed of some of the best citizens of The Dalles. The gentlemen who visited our city yesterday for the purpose of determin ing the advisability of running the ex cursion to The Dalles expressed the opinion that every individual who thus behaved while here should have been called npou to pay the penalty of their actions. They aleo assure m that .i.i, proceedings will not aimin take nUce and should they decide to come here, we may expect an orderly crowd, who will respect the rights of our people and the feelings of those under whose bus- pices they come.

No veterans of Welling, ton or Napoleon or Grant could have done better. No one can possibly con ceive the heroic bravery of the Second Oregon on this occasion unless be walked over the battle field; over the Insurgent trenches, one after another through the thicket and jungle; over open stretches where for 500 yards rhe boys faced a steady rain of bullets; and up to the final insurgent lines which consisted really of a fort with stone loop holes. This n not exaggeration. It Is not half the truth. The whole truth concerning the work of this regiment will not be written. No one saw it all, and descriptions of those rushes through fields where the air wao fairlv charged with pulsing lead would hardly be be lieved. Why was the regiment not annihilated? God only knows. There is an old saying that It takes a ton of lead to kill a soldier. The natives are phenomenally poor marksmen. This fact and a favoring providence saved the Oregons as it did other regiments troin destruction. "The insurgents with repeating Ma users threw torrents of leaden hail at our lines at random some bullets must find a victim. "Col. Summers should be proud of his regiment; the Eighth Army Corps should be proud of this record ; and the good people of the state of Oregon can words express bow they feel?

Our bowlers did not return last even ing as was expected, but it is probable remained over in Portland to attend the opera. In the Salem Statesman, bow ever, we find the scores by games, which show that The Dalles team was not beaten so badly after all, winning the first two games, and coming out only twenty-seven points behind on the total games. At the close of the games the visitors were entertained at the club rooms, where lunch was served. No doubt a third game will be planned in order to determine the si'onger team of the two, although Dalles people have already decided that question in their own minds.
