KICKERS COXTIXLE TO KICK.
When the crisis was pending and
with war staring him in the face the
president of these United States was
endeavoiing if possible and without
tainting the honor of the nation to
avert its terrible approach and settle
the questions confronting us in a
more desirable manner, all over the
6tatcs were the ever-present fault
finders the "kickers" who demand
ed war and war at or.ce. 2so sooner
bad war been declared than they
began to kick because it had not
been averted. Then because it was
not carried on in a manner to
mil their pleasure. And so the kick
continued.
Aud now, after our boys have
fought well and returned w ith honors,
they must needs be the butt of the
kicker because we Lad seen fit to
arrange the manner of their muster
out, where it should be and how,
and they had chosen otherwise. We
ocknowleese it is a grievious disip
pyititrncnt to Orcgoniacs that they
tliouM have desired to be first wel
coined in an other state than ttieir
own; but ccitainly they have the
riht of choice, and their wishes
thould be the law and receive due
deference.
The childish part of the whole
ofTair 6eenis to us to be the course
Home of our state papers are advo
cating of taking our "doll rags and
going home," and not "playing with
the soldier boys" when they return
to their own state. Another thing is
the attack which is being made on
the presidio at San Fianeisco. Sure
ly it is not a disease-breeding r est
bole as it is deecribed. Those who
have visited it have never seen the
least sign of such a condition of
affairs, and while our boys may feel
the chiliy atmosphere the more on
account of the climate they have
lift, and are in need of more cloth
ing, we cannot but feel their need of
supplies will be met.
Why be always stirring up dis
tension, and cioning "double, dou
ble, toil and trouble, fire burn
and caldron bubble?' Why rend the
heart of parents and friends over the
imaginary woes of our returning
soMieis? Is it not childish to rake
up every mole bill and make a
mountain of it? The boys are un
rioubtcdly all right and will tnke
care of themselves without the inter
ference of a few petty kickers.
Anent this question of "kicks" the
Spokesman-Review has the following
sensible article, which hits the nail
on the head :
There are some ugly stories com
ing from Manila in regard to the
Washington volunteer?, but nt this
distance it is perhaps just as well not
to form any premature judgments
until the regiment returns home and
all the facts are known. There has
evidently been some friction, and
Colonel Whollcy docs not appear to
Le as popular as some other eoui
rninding officers maj have been
shh their men, but on the whole it
d es not seem to have seriously
affected the efficiency of the regU
inent. From all the accounts that
have been recently given to the
imblic by the relnrncd Orcgonians
lhe trocps from this 6lato are well
drilled and among the most tellable
fighters now in the eighth array
corps.
There are bound to be dissensions
among the volunteers. l'robably
every regime nt that has gone out toj
Iho Philippines lias had its internal
1 if lieu I tie?. It is impossible to
escape from the jealousies, bickerings
and friction that invariably aiises
among men recently fiom private
lite who are new to the service and
unaccustomed to tho restraints of
army discipline. This has resulted
in writing home long tales of woe
with accusations of every sort against
the officers in command. Perhaps
there may be some truth in it; no
doubt a good deal of it is made op
of imaginary grievances that have
been fostered by disappointment,
health or homesickness. At any rate
it is well rot to take soap judgment
at this time when the evidence is
based largely upon rumor, beamy
!and cxpartc statements by corrcs
Jpondents A time will come when
all these matters can be looked into
and the true facts known, and then
praise or blame will be accorded to
those deserving it.
A XEW OOLVEX AGE.
The term golden age, with a differ
ent significance from that which it
has in poetry acd romance, will have
to be revived, and be applied to the
present day in tho United States.
Every week nowadays, and some
times several times a week, brings
news of the discovery of gold or
silver mines somewhere in this
country. All the dreams of national
wealth which the gold discoveries in
California aroused half a century
ago are revived, wlih the certainty
that this time they will come nearer
to fulfillment than they did then.
TLe certainty comes from the cir
cumstance that the discoveries cover
a larger extent of territory than
they did then, though, of course,
none of them are so rich as some of
those were, and by the further cir
cumstance that the methods of ex
tracting the pure metal from refract
ory ores is far in advance of what it
was formerly.
By a striking coincidence, too, the
piesent golden age, like the cailier
one, begins at lhe commencement of
a period of great national expansion.
The manifest destiny idea was re
ceiving its most conspicuous and
extensive manifestation around the
tinm when the Sierras began to give
up their secret to the world. At the
time that JIaishall and Sutter were
making their gold discovciy the
region in which they lived was, less
than a week later, to become part of
the United States through the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo with Mexico.
With California came New Mexico,
which compiiscs several states and
territories at tho present day. Pre
ceding by three years the cession of
these localities came the annexation
of Texas. About the period when
the great gold discoveries of half
a century ago were made a vast
empire, extending from the Sabine
to tbe Pacific and from -the Gulf of
Mexico up to tho Oregon line, was
being added to the domain of tbe
United States.
Now, as then, gold discoveries and
territorial acquisition came together.
On the south and on the west the
boundaries of the country are being
extended outward. Mineral wealth,
unsuspected previously, is being
brousjht to light in various parts of
the United States, with a possible
chance, as in t ie Alaska case, that
the new territory will add to the
wealth contributions of the parent
state. Isot since Spain s aalleons.
over 300 years ago, carrying their
hoards of gold and silver from the
mines of Mexico and Peru, set the
world's imagination and cupidity
aflame, has there been such dis
coveries of the precious metals as
are being revealed at the present
time. The United States, which was
long in the lead of all the rest of the
world in the extent of it gold out'
put, has now fallen to the second
place, but the stories hieh tbe
prospectors of Colorado, Alaska, Cal
ifornia, Arizona and other states and
territories tell every few days indi
cate that this country is likely to
soon pass again to the front. The
story of tbe industrial expansion and
pro ferity produced by the gold
discoveries in California ond Aus
tralia, which cast a glow over the
social history of tho United States
and Europe forty or fifty years ago,
is likely to be repealed on a broader
field t the present day.
ANOTHER AXTI-EXI'AXSIOX LIE
Another anti-expansionist lie has
been nailed to tho counter, says
the Chicago Tribune. The ac
cusation has been made by the
aunties that four Tilipino prisoners
were slaughtered by Kansas soldiers,
acting under orders of Captain
Bishop, of the Salina company. Now
comes Captain Bishop, writing to a
friend in Salina, and says: "1 see
by tho American papers that I am
'charged with ordering or perrtittii
I prisoners to le killed. I do hope
the good people at home wi.i not
think for one moment that I am
. ..
such a brute. The insurgent our,ded
and prisoners arc well cared for we
only wi-h that all of them would
sui render and end this awfu' affair."
The auntio3 should le satisfied with
Captain Bishop's concession that the
"affair is "awful," without lying so
wickedly about him. They derived
their information, it appeals, from a
soldier's letter. Will they never
learn to suspect the truth of thtsc
gruesome romances which come
from the front? Or are they so
malicious iu their prejudices and
so determined to stamp our brave
fellows in the Philippines as assassins
that they are willing to swallow any
story that is printed, no matter bow
absurd it may be?
The bodies of the dead of the
Seccnd Oregon, who died and were
buried In Manila, will be returned in
due time to the United States for
burial This is following the prece
dent set in returning the bodies of
the soldiers who fell in Cuba to their
native land for final interment. It
respects a sentiment especially dear
to our people, and assuages to some
extent lhe bitterness engendered by
the thought that privation, which it
was in the power of the commissary
department to prevent, sent many
a soldier to the hospital and frum
tbence to his grave. All honor to
those who gave their lives to the
service of their country. The meas
ure of this honor would net be full
in the estimation of those nearest to
them in kindred lies without the
return of their bodies to graves in
the Ir home land. Oregonian.
The skipper of the 12-foot cockle
shell who attempted to cross the
Atlantic was picked up in an ex
hausted condition seventy miles from
the Irish coast. lie is not deseiving
of any more sj'mpathy than the man
who jumps from the Brooklyn bridge
or he who tries to go through the
whirlpool rapids at Niagara in a
barrel.
DR. SIDDALL RETURNS.
Not Overly KnthunUttlo Regarding At-llo-Not
What It In t'uruoitetl
to Itp.
Dr. Siddall is again seen on the streets
of The Dalles after three months spent
among the eo-rlaimed abundant cold
fields of the Atlin district. About two
weeks ago he came down to Seattle and
has spent the time since in Ellensburg.
He will soon be ready to begin work in
his profession and his patrons will no
doubt claim the distinction of carrying
about in their teeth fillings of Alaskan
gold. The doctor wears a pretty nugget
in his fcarf, and beside, wears n nnique
button showing that he belongs to the
order of Arlic Brotherhood. It repre
sents a pan containing threegold nuggets
and bearing the letters A. B. The or
ganization was begun on tho "City of
Seattle" last year andnow numbers 1200
members, who are pledged to protect
any brother who may be in need w hen
prospecting through the northern land,
or wherever found.
Dr. is nothing if not honest, and none
need fear of being misled by his state
ments, lie is not enthusiastic in his
praises of Atlin, hut says while he
knows there is much gold there, re
ports have been grossly exaggerated and
that he believes there is as much gold
in one claim in Dawson as in a dozen
at Atlin.
Conditions when he came out were
not encouraging. For thtrty-Mx hoars
rain had poured down, loosening gravel
and dirt and causing sluice boxes to be
washed out and men to loose the woik
of months. Many men with families
are in there and have not the where
withal to get out.
There are perhaps fifty children In
Atlin, which Is one of the worst places
in the world for a chUd to receive the
comforts iiecessary. His opinion is that
there will be much suffering in the fail.
Every spot of land, of all eorts aud
descriptions, is staked out, until it would
sc-em that there were enough stakes used
to keep New York In wood for two years.
Dr. did not invest much in that seo
tion, but has a quartz claim near there.
The law regarding the right of ground
was so unsettled when he was there that
it was impossible to make any headway
or get at the true state of a Hairs.
His trip, however, (although when he
went in he rode 109 miles ever ice,
perched on the top of three bales o! hay)
was an interesting one and wcrti ti e
while, and he saw much that was very
grand in the way of scenery.
It is not unlikely the doctor will re
turn and go into Dawson next fall.

Thursday's Dally.
Yesterday's afternoon session was an
interesting one to the members of tbe
grand lodge, A.O. U. W., the occasion
being the election ol cflicers, which con
sumed the greater part of the afternoon.
The result was as follows :

THURSDAY MOUSING.
Evidently the A. O. U. W. members
are early risers, for at the early hour of
8 o'clock a goodly number were In their
places and ready for work. At the be
ginning of the session a resolution was
offered and adopted making a special
order lor 8:30 this evening, for the
installation of officers.
In regard to the official paper of the
order, a resolution was adopted to let
lhe contract to the lowest ami mom ne.
ceptable bidder. It was bIso the sense
of the members that the paper be de
voted solely to the interest of the
A. O. U. W. and I), of II., having only
such advertisements as theee orders
shall provide.
The report of tho committee to whom
was referred the report of the grand
medical examiner, was adopted.
At 9 o'clock the lodge went into a
committee of tho whole Hnd continued
so until 12.
i. i r li.
Evidently the ladies are somewhat
"speedier" Hum tho gentlemen, or else
they have much loss to do, for while the
A. O. U. Wi. will probably ho in segEion
until Saturday, the D. ol II. expect to
almost completely finish their work this
evening. Much lime is being taken up
by tho former in revising tho consti
tution. Yesterday afternoon after the Iro
cream had had a rooling effect, the
election nf grand officers was proceeded
with, and the follow ing were etiosen i

further action.
A per capita tax of $1 wis then
adopted.
It is a custom with the lodge to pre
sent the lodgo having the least per
centage of social members a broom, with
which, we presume, to "biush up."
For some time Upchurch lodge at
Lebanon has held the weapon, but upon
investigation it is found that Esther
lodge No. fifl has unwillingly captured it
from the present holder, and it wti
given to the latter.
Funeral of Mr. l'tf.
Tho funeral of Mrs. Elizibetli Catet
took placo this mornrng at 9 o'clock
from the family residence on Seven'h
