SHOULD TAKE ITS IIASIS OFF.
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. Oregonian.

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.

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."

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.
