Mr. Ili'.l, our consul at Ssntos re rorls to the department of s'.ate tbat "the United States should adopt the agencies adopted by European nations in attaining their supremacy in these markets, viz., steamships under our on flsg, banks under our own control and business Louses under distinctively American man agement." This is a sample of the paternal school of trade. B.t Mr. Hill's own report sets forth that export to Brazil have fallen off sines 1S."3 from every one of the principal countries, with the singe exception of the United States. The reduction is as follows: Great Brit- ain, 19.0 per cent; trance, .t; Hamburg, 21.2; Belgium, 53.3; At gcnline Republic, 11.1; Uruguay, 17.S. and Portugal, 1C.7 per cent. The only increase was that of 13.4 per cent fir the United Slates." Mr. lliil, or rather the report in ihe Brazilian Review, which be incorpo rates into his report, shows that the co?ee exports varied little from 7C per cent of the iaiports; from 1S91 to the coffee exports declined from 24,000.000 to 14,000,000, and the iir ports had to fall off in about the ssme -alio. Hour exports to Brizil increased in a period wiih ln which our reciprocity treaty was abrogated, and during which Brazil's exports declined and Iter imports from all European countries, and eyen her South American neighbors, declined, the importance of imitating European methods of pushing our trade there is not very clear. Gov ernment ai l of commerce is a de lusive object of pursuit. Trade i won by energy, skill and patience. What the commercial world shou'd strive for is to get government to take its hands off the business its interference is crippling.

Eminent lawyers declare once established readily extends to; the r ropoaallegally sound, and meu crimes not originally contemplated, j interested in social progress regard and, unless restrained, ultimately to it as an extremely fruitful idea. acts not crimes, Tbe diabolical aiura.i.y, mo anM.ru. in Brooklyn and Cleveland, and tbe prevalence of less warlike strikes elsewhere, cause eerybody just now to be more than usually hospitable to plans for a remedy. LYXCUISU IS UEVRGIA. After a season of summary justice at the Lands of mobs. Governor Candler of Georgia has issued an appeal to the people of that state to stand together and suppress the violence which is rapidly destroying the good name of the common wealth, lie cks that the people uphold the coutts and allow them to to deal with wrongdoers, rather thau permit lawlessness, in the form of lynching, to prevail. There is no doubt that lynching in Georgia has at last reached a degree of fiequency and of savagery where it is incumbent upon the law-abiding people of that state to take radical 8Ciion if they do not wish the reputa tion of the state for Lumanity and civilization and its business interests to suffer. There have now been 77 cases of lynching in tbo United States since January 1, 1893, and of these 22, or nearly one-third have occurred in Georgia. There have been 75 cas?s in the South, the North Laving contributed but two to the total. Of these 77 victims CO have been negroes, 59 of whom were lynched in southern states. Of the 22 cases in Georgia all but one were colored men. Three men were lynched in Febiuary, five in March, two in April, one in May, two in June, and eight thus far ie July. To make the shoaiug complete, the alleged crimes for which these 22 persons were lynched were as follows: Incendiarism, 5; robbery 5; alleged rape, 3; alleged complicity in murder, 3; rape, 1; murder and rape, 1; murder 1 ; resisting arrest, 1 ; race prejudice, 1 ; using violent language, one. The governor in his appeal well says: "The mob often makes mis takes and tbe innocent are made to suffer with the guilty, It never knows where to slop, but after pun ishing tbe guilty, drunk) with the blood of one victim, it thirsts for the blood of another, and often sacrifices on the altar of vengeance those who are guiltiest of any crime. We must away with the mob." He might crime referred to is not only the direct cause of much of our lynching, but has produced lint condition of lawlessness and savagery that results in lynching for other crimes. Wire it not for this cause, mob violence would most rarely occur in the South. If this is not the truth we are with out excuse before God and man for its exeesa ic our rai 1st." A feature of the Georgia lycchings is that they Lave grown out of the brutality ot the people, as well as out of the brutality of the crime committed. It is idle to charge these crimes to the technicalities and delays of the law, as might be done in some of the northern states. There has never been a case in Georaiaj where the law has been allowed toi take its course in which the courts have not awarded prompt and exact justice. The mob does not excuse the rape fiend tecause the law can not be trusted to do it. The posi tion of tbe mob is that the law shall not do it, not because the law is not sure enough for him, but because he is not good enough for the law and because the mob is not willing for his victim to give public testimony. Tbe question cannot be settled by the Georgia people by any more law making. The law is all right, and it will be enforced if tbe mob allows that to be done. What the law abiding people must do is to give their moral support to Governor Candler. A better sentiment must be built up. They must learn that it is well not to substitute mob violence for law, for that is setting off crime against crime crime that diminishes respect for all laws among all people. Active co-operation with the govern or can bring about a healthier toce among all classes, and it will result in a greater respect tor the law with out allowing any man guilty of crime to go unpunished. Spokesman-Review, Representative Lundis, of Indiana, is undoubtedly right in his asserlion that "the West is with the president on the Philippine question," says the Globe-Democrat. The West, except a few of the reactionaries, like Bryan, Stone and Altgeld, stands with tbe administration in the purpose to prosecute the war vigorously, and establish American authority nil over the islands. These coppci heads have the greater part of thcVestern De mocracy against them. There will be a savage fight in the Democratic convention of 1900 on the expansion issue. Probably the reactionaries will win in that gathering. Demo cratic conventions Lave committed so many follies tint nobody will be surprised if Stone carries bis "anti imperialisuj" lunacy through that of 1900. No states in this quarter, bow ever, will be won on the contraction issue. There are very few flag furlers in the western stales. Il is incredible that Admiral Dewey could use the language attributed to him in regard to Germany as re ported in a dispatch from Trieste. Dewey is a man of unusual diplo matic discretion, as the couDtry knows from the events of the past year. He must have undergone an astounding change if he could pie diet that "the next war in which tbe United States will be engaged will be with Germany." An officer of the navy who had lost bis wiU might say such a wild and utterly gratuitous thing, but not one who had any recollection of his duty to his gov ernment. Dewey will dispose of this latest liar promptly. Mm UlUl I iiidiiiills There is talk about revolution in Ihe Dominican Republic. So many revolts have occurred in that country in the past quarter of a century that no one would be surprised if a rising should occur at this time. The assassination of its president shows that the conditions which oidiaarily lead to revolts are at hand. There are a comparatively large number of Europeans and Americans In the Dominican Republic, and almost all of them, it is understood, favor annexation to the United States If that annexation project of thirty years ago, which President Grant favored, and which the people of the island agreed to, bad been carried out it would undoubtedly have been a benefit to all parties. The present disturbance may lead to another annexation movement. This time it would succeed. Tbe country In 1899 is a little wiser than it was in 1869. The suggestion has been repeated ly made by the North American that the true way ot arriving at com pulsory arbitration as a substitute for strikes and lockouts u to impose upon corporations, as a condition of their creation by tbe state, the obli- Tbe Montgomery Advertiser, a Democratic paper, says the people of the South are learning that "good money can't be made out of poor material." Perhaps some unpleasant surprises are in store for the silver party in tbat section. That once obstreperous Havana paper, La Lucha, admits that the Erst half of the current fiscal year shows a balance in favor of the American administration of $4,907,500. Such arguments for annexation are unanswerable. TLe time bss passed when Mr. Kipling refers to the American eagle as a cainon bird. He has just re maiked that to the American public he peculiarly owes "the best and most honest work I can turn out." KEEP OFF THE GRASS. Or leather the Sidewalk!

Tha Shaw Company Again rieaee Their Andleuea Lilt Night, 13768 07 By warsnts issued 26 00 Aug 1, balance arallab! cash. .43741 17 Wcduciduy'i Daily. The coming of Ihe Shaw onipany to our city just at this time has proven a fortunate occurrence to those of us who are compelled to remain at home while our mere fortunate neighbors enjoy their ontings. As it ie, we can now spend the evening mo6t pleasantly in a comfortable opera hone listening to first class plays by good actors. As we have said before, Dalles people may not live In a large city where the opportunity is often afforded to witness tbe best actors, but they know good acting wbeu t hey see it, and when a company gets full houses like tbe Shaw company had last night, it is a sure sign they deserve them. Many who heard the Milton Nobles' Company play "From Sire to Son" ex press their opinion tbat the company last night discounted the former pro duction. While Nobles himself is an actor of undisputed merit, and his wife as pleasing an actress, the character of Alfred Armitage was not so well suited to bis style as was it to Mr. Shaw. Then the entire cast was much stronger. Indeed, were it not that each character was so deserving of special mention, we might single out a few and comment upon their acting; but the play was so well balanced that to do so would be un just. Those who were not in attendance the first night were astonished that a company whose prices are so reasonable carried sash a splendid orchestra. Their work was up to tbe standard estab lished Monday night, and as much ap preciated. Especially fine are the xylophone solos. Tonight the company will go back to cimedy once more and produce Milton Noble's masterpiece, "Love and Law." Tbe play is in reality a melo-drama of New York life, but tho huuiorons side ol tbe picture predominates and It Is always classed as comedy. As Felix O'PafT, the Irish attorney, with one hand in bis rxekets ready to assist the needy, and the other outstretched to uphold virtue or punish ice and over all that irrepressible .sense of Irish wit and hnraor, Sam Shaw has a character which the Salem papers described as "fitting him so perfectly that it was difficult to determine where Shaw left off and O'PafT began." Annoyed By Llllla Hoodlnme. The Ciihomicii has no desire to be considered "cranky," nor as always kicking; but we feel sure tbat our readers will consider that anyone who attended the theater last evening is justified in complaining of the annoy ance caused by a class of little hoodlums who mada the room hideous with their shrill whistles and yelling. That "boys will be boys" is true and as it should be ; but tbat they should be hoodlums is not necessary. During a high-class performance, where are the better class of people in a community, is no time for each demonstration as was carried on last night, anJ an officer should he In attendance to suppress It. The yells and whistling of these Hula inr,. almost succeeded in tiring the audience so mat the etrect of tha play was lost, and yet those who sat near them and desired to en ir the nerformanm i.i.t. they dared not reprimand them because they were so saucy. That is a pretty state of affairs In a city like The Dalles, wnere people must needs be overrun h. a gang of hoodlums. We hare often mentioned that the audienc?s here are cold and that ap plause is not frequent enough, for it has Buch a tendency to inspire an actor. However, last night it was not possible to applaud the very i est rcenes iu the play without it being a signal for an uproar which drowned the voices on the etas". Indeed, at one time when one of the moat effective scenes was taking place some "kid" kept up a sort of hissing noise until it could not be heard. Mr. Allen, the manager, has done his best so far to make tbe audience com fortable and has succeeded in every way; and now we would jint suggest that he appoint a deputy or two and when these boys become too annoying, take them by the nape of the neck and throw them over the back porch. 'THE LAST STROKE," And It V'a B Good One by the bhaw Company Lent Klght. Again last night the Shaw Company strengthened the opinion of Dalles peo ple regarding their ability as a first-class troupe by appearing in a play which re quired much heavr work and success fully mastering it. While the piny its self was not so much to our liking as those of former nights, at the same time we appreciate the work done and the clever acting. All have heard of the old lady from the backwoods who at tended the theater, a. id so well was the play acted that becjuing excited she jumped to her feet and addressed the players during one of the most Intense scenes. During the scene last night where Mr. Shaw as "Richard Vance" held the pistol to the head of the de tested "Dan Julio," which was so ad mirably carried out by Albert Watson, an old man in the gallery started to his feet rnd said "Why don't jou let it go!" So perftctly was the villian taken that this seemed to be the verdict of the en tire audience. Such was the character of the entire performance, and every part was well taken, the teenes between Mr. Shaw and Miss Carter being especially taking and true in every detail. The patriotism of the audience was of ten appealed to, the music by the orches tra being also along that line. As noth ing touches an audience more than does that class of music, their selections were doubly appreciated. A very novel idea of advertising is the manner in which Mr. Shaw has! chosen of advising the audience regard ing the Saturday matinee. Having promised the first evening never to men tion it again, and forgetting hlmielf each evening, he is called down br one of tbe company, who thus advertises it the more. Their announcement was lnterrupied last evening by the usher presenting him with two century blossoms wh.ch had been sent by someone who wished to show their appreciation of bia splen did acting. He responded iu a neat litiletpeech. It was indeed a o upii ment, the blosom being so rare and so highly prised by their owners. "Farmer Stebbins," the play in which the company will be se-n tonight, was written by Mr. Shaw and is a rural comedy, pure and simple. The play is somewhat sensational, but the comedy element predominates. Mr. Shaw to completely buries his own identity In the character ol the old Vermont farm er, who Is "seeing the town" for the first time, that It is like a visit to tbe country to see him in the part. Their "jay parade" this afternoon was a fair Index to what it to follow. Do not mist this. - A BOSTON MAIDEN.
