In fact the chati'8 were better
A strikiuj illuitrV.ion of the gen
eral resourcefulness, courage aad
adaptability of Western men is found
in the record of the psst three
months of warfare in the Philippines.
Practically all the volunteer soldiers
in the Philippines are Western men.
All are from the sunset side of the
Alleghenies except a regiment from
Pennsylvania. All the ret are from
the sunset side of the Mississippi
except one regiaicct from Tennessee.
In no other of the country's wars
was an army so exclusively com
posed of Western men as in this
Instance. Eastern men and Western
men were mixed up in all the armies
f the union during the war of se
cession. Of course in the Mexican
war the West was so far below the
East in population that it could cot
form aDy exclusive force of fighters
in that conflict, although it con
tributed more meo than the East in
proportion to inhabitants. At the
time of tbe war of 1812 there were
on'y four states in the union outside
cf the Atlantic seaboard region
Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and
Louisiana. In that war, as in the
coLtlicl with Mexico and in the civil
struggle, the West did great work,
but in the case of the war In the
Philippines it bas practically done all
of the work which has been done by
the volunteers, and the volunteers
comprise about three-fourths of the
force in the islands.
There is a floe tribute here to the
Western states as nurseries of men.
Practically all of the men from the
West who bave been fighting Aguin
aldo bave been taken from civil life.
None of the officers cf the volun
teers, except .1 comparatively few,
are professional soldiers. Most of
the volunteer officers and all the
privates bave been drawn from farms,
factories, or from professional life.
All o' them, regular soldiers as
well as the others, have been fighting
under conditions which were entirely
new. They bave been living in an
alien climate, bave been confronted
with physical ctrcumstauees which
are strange, aid bave bad an entire
environment which has Ijeen un
friendly. Yet they have triumphed
. over all these hostile conditions.
The record which the soldiers of
MacArthur, Wheaton and Law ton
have mode is a triumph for Ameri
can manhood. It is a revelation and
an illustration of the operation of
the social forces which have made
" Western men invincible in peace as
-well as in war.

regulars were in hand to take their

No doubt the boys w ill be sent home

hostilities has had more of a tendency to

There is one consolation, however,
the boys can go into camp, and will not

i Two anti-expansion meetings have
been held in different parts of the
country and were marked by two
things. One was the wild rhetoric
: on the platform and the oilier the
dissent in the audiences.

It is not a question of expansion
but of the honor of the country, say
the Ileppntr Times. The war whh
Spain was for the purpose of putting
down a semi-barbarous government
and incidentally .to free oppressed
countries. With the cessation of the
war with Spain and the driving out
of Spanish rule in the island, tin in
habitants ought to bave willingly
and gladly flocked to the standard
of their liberators, instead of waging
war on them. Let it now be a war
of extermination, or absolute subju
gation, but not cowardly defeat of
the American government. More
soldiers, 100,000 if needs be, should
be sent to the Philippines and the
insurgents driven into the sea. That
the force at present is not sufficient
to handle the comparatively small
band of rebels is evidenced by the
inability of the Americans to sup
press the rebellion. The war lias
been continued loo long already be
cause the government bas been slow
in acting. It has cost the country
oo much to let it end in glorious
defeat.
. SOVEREIGN'S PROPOSITION.
The Idaho Tribune, official paper
of the Western Federation of Miners,
issued under the nuspices of Cu'ur
d'Alcne Miners' Unions, and edited
by James R. Sovereign, admits that
Ahe Warducr outrages were perpe
trated by union miners from Canyon
Creek and Mullun, boasts of their
deeds, contends that they were justi-
fled, lays the responsibility for the
rioting on the Bunker Hill and Sulli
van company, and asserts that there
srill be warfare in the Caur d'AIencs
eo long as any mineemploycr refuses
to recognize the union. It says:
"Let Mr. Bradley and Mr. Bur
liidge meet the miners' unions and
contract to give the miners the same
recognition and the same rate of
wages given by the other operators
In this district, and they can build a
thousand mills nt Wardncr if they
wish to and no protection will be
needed. It is protection
in their determination to reduce the
wages of miners below the standard
rate that they clamor for, and judg
ing from Saturday's demonstration,
U that is their purpose, they will
need military protection continuous
ly for forty years nfter their new
mill is completed."
In other words. Mine Owner A
and Miner B at Waidncr will not be
allowed to agree between themselves
on the terms under which the mine
shall be operated; and if they do
The sanitary authorities of the
United States in Cuba are able to
repoit that no active cases of cither
yellow fever or smallpox exist in
Havana. Think of this! For hun
dreds of years that city bas been the
breeding and fostering place of these
dread diseases. It has not before at
any time been free from yellow fever
and smallpox, liable at nearly all
times to be curried to our Atlantic
and gulf ports. The very fact of
the chance to clean up Havana and
get rid of these disease germs, ac
cumulated in the Qltli of the ages.
is worth the money cost of the war
with Spain. Tens of thousands of
lives in this country have been sac
rificed to the official negligence of
Spam in her colonies in the Antilles.
We wonder what Mr. Bryan will
think when he reads what kis friend,
Mr. Goodwin, editor of the Suit Lake
Tribune, bas to say in bis newspaper
of the futility of another national
contest on lhe issues of 1800? What
will be think when be reads this
statement: "If there is anything in
the signs of the times at all, Mr.
Bryan would lose a full ' million of
the votes that le polled in 189C, and
the opposition would poll- one and a
half millions more than it polled in
1806."
Aguinaldo has had bis capital in
manv places; but when our brave
volunteers and regulars arrive it is
not there. He now carries it around
in his hat. All the other places are
occupied.
A TRIP TO ATLIN CITY.
The Grant celebrations remind the
country that he never said a word
too much. He spoke simply, clearly
and to the point, and a just reserve
was tn element of bis greatness.
A Hungarian violinist in Pennsyl
vania confesses that be bas been
married twenty times. This is the
kind of Hungarian rhapsody that
ought to be suppressed.
The English papers that thought
Uncle Sam was getting tired in the
Philippines have again concluded
that tbey do not understand Ameri
can sentiment.
Col. Bryan's idea that "an idea
once turned loose in the world can
never again be chained" is quite an
idea.
DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY
or the American Sunday School Vnlon
to Be Held In Philadelphia la
May.
The mines of Eastern Oicgon will
prove more of a Klondike than that
of Alaska, if we accept that word
Klondike as synonymous with wealth.
Yet people are going by hundreds to
this land of ice and snow, passing the
equally good district of Oregon,
where every condition is so much
more favorable for the prospector.
That distance lends enchantment, is
only too true.
English papers compliment the
Ameticnn volunteers at Calumpit on
their devoted patriotism and gallant
ry, and with excellent reason. They
Much interest is being developed in
this great national society as the oc
casion of its 75th anniversary approach
es. Meetings will be held in the Academy
of Music on May 24th and 25th, at which
addresses will be made by many emi
nent speakers.
Mr. H. II. McGrauahan, with the as-
istance of the Philadelphia Choral
Union and other singers, consisting ol
(100 voices, will have charge of the music.
The work -of the society for seventy-
five ytars in part, is as follows: 100,-
928 Sunday schools organized, contain
ing 578,680 teachers and 4,070,348 schol
ars; Sii.MA cases or aid to schools,
l:aving 13,3o3,9G8 members. Nearly four
schools a dav organized for every day of
the last seventy five years. Value of
publications distributed by sales and
gifts, over $9,000,000.
After all this work that has been ac
complished bv the Union and the great
work which the denominations are do
ing, there are no less than 11,000,000
youths in the United States between the
ages of five and eighteen, who are not in
any Sunday school. Realizing the great
need, as the Union does, it is desired
that this 75th anniversary shali be the
occasion for arousing fresh interest in
the great work of the society tor the
neglectoJ children of the land. They
especially request that the 2Sth of May
be observed in all the churches and
Sabbath schools as American Sunday
School Union Day.

A Nine Days' Trip From Bkagwajr How
the City Is Boomlnf.
A letter received by relative from Mr.
and Mrs. II. P. Michel!, tells of their
safe arrival in Athn City on the I3th of
last month, just one year from the day
they left Goldendale. Having spent the
winter in Skagway, they started from
that place on the morning of April 4tb,
for Atlin, over the White Pass and
Yokon railroad. Reaching the summit
at 1 o'clock they were compelled to re
main there over night. Pitching their
tent on about twenty feet of snow, they
made good nee of a feather bed which
they carried, and slept as soundly as it
tbey had been in the warmest bouse in
the land.
Log Cabin, where the custom house is
situated, is fourteen miles from lhe
Summit. As there is a rush continually,
tbey were compelled to wait until the
following day before the officer could in
epect their freight. The rules here are
very rigid, much more so than at the
line between Washington and the
British poseessinns. The remainder of
the journey over the Fan Tail route, al
though much shorter than the route Mr,
Butler took, must be made on foot, and
is the route the footmen with hand sled
all take. Regarding this portion of the
journey, the letter says: "We made
the trip in five days, and found good
camping places every night with plenty
of Alaekan feathers piled on the enow.
Ail we bad to do was to pitch our tent
and get wood, which is plenty and dry.
So it is not such a hard trip if a person
uses good judment and doesn't try to
hurry through. The roads over the
lake were fine. We had three portages
to make where the tnow was soft and
melting and it was hard to pass over,
but aside from that the road is good."
Speaking of Atlin, they said : "Atlin
City is a wonder. There must be 3000
people here now, and all kinds of places
of business. Several large hotels are
going up, and the streets being all laid
off makes it look quiet citified."
The snow is melting very fast and
tbey seem to think it will be all gone by
the first of June. The day the letter
was written, April loth, they were put
ting op ice twenty-four inches thick.
Mr. Butler arrived at Atlin the day
after Mr. Michell's partv. and left lor
his claim ou Spruce Creek.

Jonah Will Do Tha AItlloa- Act.
The Ciibonicle some time since in
reading the Telegram, noticed an item
to the effect that the O. R. A N. had
absorbed the Columbia Southern, and
casually remarked to that effect in its
columns. This is the way the Moro
Observer comes back at us:
"The latest railroad rumor," savs the
Dalles Chronicle, is to the effect that
the O. R. A N. Company has absorbed
the C. 8. Railway Company. Next."
We called upon President Lytle to
substantiate or deny the rumor, and
was informed that there was no truth
whatever in the report. The only ex
planation was that the C. S.Ry.Co. had
absorbed The Dalles and the compositor
mixed the item.
Has it? Well, who'd have thought it
from the lively manner in which the
absorbed is conducting itself at present.
If that is really the case we sympathize
with the absorber. It surely will find
it has bitten off more than it can chew."
It lakes more than a railroad shark to
absorb The Dalles, and the shark who
attempts it will find he has a harder
meal to digest than did the whale that
swallowed Jonah. It will no doubt le
as th old darkey said, "Jonah will swal
low the whale," and as he does eo he
will remark, like the whale, "Here's a
good opening for a young man."
