PROSPERITY TALK'S.
In the republican national plat
form adopted four years ago it was
declared Ibat 'Every consideration
of public safety and individuul in
tcrest demands that the government
shall be rescued from the banda of
those who have shown themselves
incapable of conducting it without
disaster at home and dishonor abroad,
and shall be restored to the parly
which for thirty years administered
it with unequulcd success and pros
perity." Such was the republican
promise in 1896. It has been ful
filled. The new republican plat
form refers to the redemption of the
pledge In a "prosperity more gen
eral and more abundant than we
have ever known," to "splendid tri
umphs in business and commerce"
and "an unsurpassed record of
achievement." All these expressions
are justified. The facts and figures
are beforo the people. The results
of prosperity and successful govern
ment are as plainly risible on every
band as were the signs of business
decline and distress that made the
previous administration a national
nightmare.
fourteen millions of voters can
look back over the rond by which
prosperity came. The democratic
platform of 1896 asserted that busi
ness would continue to decline until
tfhe mints were opened to free silver
and a flood of 45c dollars pour
ed out. The Chicago platform was
reaffirmed at Kansas City, old ratio
and all. But never before was such
an unutterable foolishness offered to
the voters of the United States a sec
end time, They will be asked to
discredit what the see and know,
to dasji aside prosperity for some
thing untried but recommended to
be better, to put back the reins of
government into the hands of the
party of incompetence and calamity.
When the human mind prefers decay
to thrift, idleness to activity, loss to
advancement, anxiety to content
ment, debt to u surplus, and misery
to good times, it may consent to
.take the advice of the democratic
party in preparing for political ac-
.tion this year. The greatest pros
perity the country has ever seen will
de good enough for the majority.
St. Paul, reflecting the moral view
of the question in every section of
the Union.
All told the Herald obtained the
views of 720 persons j 824 were for
expansion, 333 were opposed, and
69 were non-committal. Of the
business men, 94 were for and CI
against; lawyers, 54 for, 73 against;
physicians. 74 lor, 43 against; cler
gy, CO for, 32 against; and laboring
men, 31 for and 111 against. Ap
parently, the laboring men of the
country are strong against expansion,
fearing that their labor would be
brought in conflict with the cheap
labor of the Islands, and apparently
losing sight of the fact that at this
moment the Pbilippinoes arc free to
enter the United States, an 1 always
have been, as also are the tee id id
millions of India. But they don
come. However, the opposition of
the workingmen is based on grounds
of expediency. It is when the clcr
gymen are consulted that wc oblai
the opinions based on moral grounds
and tho sentiment is strong for the
retention of the islands.
DELES U A EST CATHAY.
The misfortune suffered by tk
United State' crack 'baitlc-ship, the
Oregon, will give sorrow to the
country. Its journey half way around
the world during the Spanish war and
its service in the battle of Santiago
has given it a prominent place in
history. Probably it was, at the
time when it figured in those events
the most effective war vessel possess
ed by any country in the world
The United States has several ves
sels of tho typo of the Oregon, and
some of them are more modern in
their design or equipment. . Wc
have no ship, however, which has
a greater name, and the damage
which it has suffered will be a cause
of sincere regret nil over the country
There is a chance that the Oregon
will still be able to do good work in
die war in China if the services of
any American naval vessels is need

CLERGYMEN FOR EXPANSIOS.
A statement made rand still un
challenged at the Republican Na
tional Convention in Philadelphia,
that $4,000,000,000 havo been paid
by Americans to foreign shipowners
during the past thirty-live years,
and that during the next twenty-five
years $5,000,000,000 more will be
paid if there is no change in our
shipping laws, fully justified the
platform demand for remedial legis
lation. Nine-tenths of our foreign
carrying trade is now done by for
eign ships. This means tho payment
of $200,000,000 a year to foreign
shipowners for doing Amciican
carrying.
The opponents of expansion are
Assuming that the conscience of the
nation is against retention of the
Philippines; that the whole course
of President McKinley's adminis
tration on that question is dictated
iy sordid commercialism. Thus the
Kansas City platform asserts that
-"the greedy commercialism which
dictates the Philippine poliey of the
republican administration attempts
to justify it with the plea that it will
J)ay;" and Carl Schurz exclaims,
"Why don't they dare to discuss the
moral aspect of the imperialistic
policy if they feel themselves in the
right?"
If it were true that the moral
eense of the supporters of expansion
Lad been strangled by their greed
for commerce, it would follow that
the pulpit would be thundering
against it, says the Review. It is
not, and an extensive canvass just
made by tho New York Herald shows
that a large majority of tho ministers
who were consulted were for expan
sion. Through its correspondents,
me neraid suomilte'l tlio ques
tion to fifty men In each of fif
teen large cities ten men in each of
five groups namely, business men,
clergymen, lawyers, physicians, and
laboring men. One hundred and
sixteen clergymen were interviewed.
Thirty two were opposed to expan
sion, sixty were for it, and twenty
four (chiefly Roman Catholic) were
non committal. Clergymen were in
terviewed in Atlanta, Baltimore,
Boston, Chicago, Denver, Galves
ton, Memphis, Milwaukee, New Or
leans, New York, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Savannah, St. Louis, aid
The three most important declara
tions of the republican national plat
form to the people of Oregon and
the Pacific coast are these : (1) "We
renew our faith in the policy of pro
tection to American labor; (2) "The
national defense and naval efficiency
of this country, moreover, supply a
compellins reason for legislation t-onrucius, JJurtdtia and
For several weeks past public at
tention has been attracted to China,
and South Africa and other portions
of the globe have sunk into insig
nificance. The faie of the foreign
legations in Ptkin, the Boxer revolu
tion in the Celestial empire and the
conflict of Buddhism, Confucianism
and Tauism in the far Knsl against
Christianity and Christian civiliza
lion has claimed the attention of the
world. Whether the capital of the
Chinese empire has become a slaugh
tcr pen for the foreigners rcsidin
there, and whether the women and
children, who are under the protcc
tion of the legations, have suffered a
fate worse than death at the bands
of fanatical and devil-worshipping
Asiatics, are questions in which the
civilized world feels the greatest
anxiety, and which cause the most
harrowing suspense.
Terriole, outrageous wrongs have
been committed within the Chinese
cmpiie, and these demand the speed
i jat redress by the nations of the
woild. The flig of almost every
European country and of the Amen
can, republic has been grossly insulted
and subjects of England, Germany
and France and citizens of America
have been butchered by Chinamen,
and it makes little difference whether
these were loyal to the reigning
empress or allied to the revolution
ary forces of Prince Tuan, known as
Boxers. A great many of these un-
fortuate victims were Christian mis
sionaries; but this is no excuse or
palliation for the crimes which have
blotted the pages of Chinese history
for the past few months. If there is
to be an) discrimination and we do
not say there should be regarding
religion, in the protection that civil
ized nations guarantee their citizens
or subjects, the Christian should re
ceive tho greater consideration ; for,
whether we be atheists, deists, Mo
hammedans or Buddhists, the fact
stands out boldly that in the march
of modern civilization the Christian
missionary has been, without an ex
ception, tho forerunner of the school
bouse, the factory and the railroad.
It was so in Australia, New Zealand,
Africa and the East and West Indies.
Aside from this incontrovertible fact,
China has made solemn treaties with
each of the nations agair.st vvhich her
subjects arc warring, and in these
she has guaranteed protection to the
foreigners seeking her shores.
It is true that China boasts of a
civilization as old as the Pyramids,
nd it may be a fact that the Chinese
were what they are now when the
shepherd kings ruled over Egypt, be
fore Noah planted his vineyard on
the slopes of Ararat, or long beforo
Moses tended the flocks of his father-
in-law, Jelhro, or any of the old
Jiblical worthies lived;. vet, as a rule,
ic has blocked the wheels of pro-
grcss in every era of tier eventful
is'.ory. Chinese have reaped sorre
1 vantages from the teachings of
Mahomet ;
school bouses, and the logic of history
will place her fate similar to that of
the Druids of Britain, and the Aztecs
of Mexico.
This is a commercial age, and the
Uoited States is now a world-power,
similar to Great Britain and other
nations. In the breaking up of
China, we must watch carefully that
we have equal privileges with others,
and with our fleet and aimy at
Manila we are in a position to de
mand this. No doubt due consider
ation will be paid to this in the final
outcome; but this is the vital point
that wc must guard.
A GRAND SUCCESS
And an Kveut Never to be rorgutteu by
Tboaa Who Were 80 fortunate
Aa to Be There,
which will enable us to recover our
former place among the trade-carrying
fleets of the world;. and (3) "We
favor the construction, ownership,
control, and protection of an isth
mian canal by the government of
the United States."
Admiral Dewey says he would not
accept the second place on the Kan
sas City ticket. He will be glad not
to have first place when he reads the
platform.
What la It?
Friday last W. J. Terry exhibited at
this office several bends of wheat that
were literally covered with a very" email
green bug, which some farmers (have
pronounced to be the Hessian fly. We
are not up on bugology, and eo do not
feel prepared to epeak authoritatively
upon tho name or nature of the Insect
which has put in an appearance in
various localities in this county. In
this instance the grain did not appear
to be injured, yet it seems hardly pos
sible for a field to escape damage where
so many of tho bugs have established a
habitation. We have heard farmers
deny that the insect is the real Eastern
Hessian fly, yet these same gentlemen
have been on able to nnmo the rift.
One thing is "tire, tho infinitesimal in
sect is here in abundance, and time
alone will toll whether its presence has
worked injury to the grain or not.

but as a race they have clung tena
ciously to their old customs and
superstitions. The imprisoned cm
peror, with Li Hung Chang, repre
sents today a small minority who are
in favor of modern advancement;
but the millions sympathize with the
reigning empress and Prince Tuan,
the commander of the Boxers, who
are in favor of old China, with the
filth of its cities, the terrible sub
jection of its people and its horrible
devil-worship.
China's fate is scaled. It must
follow the destiny of other unpro
gressive peoples. Tho nations of
Europo and our own country ore
aroused, and no halt will be called.
The blood of Amciicans, Englishmen,
Germans and Frenchmen eneth from
the ground for vengeance, and a
terrible reckoning will be had. It
mny be that Russia, more closely
allied by the Tartar ancestry of its
people, will be the foremost among
the avengers; but, if so, tho great
White Czar w ill be the instrument of
providence in cleansing this plague-
spot from the map of Asia. Perhaps
a constitutional government is not
adapted to the best interests of these
Mongolian hordes, and the nutocralic
rule of St. Petersburg may be the
wiser and the belter for the people.
China must batter down bcr wall
of seclusion. Shu must give way to
railroads, telegraphs, churches and
Such was the first annual excursion
given by the Young Men's Christian As
sociation of this city. The steamer
Dalles City had her full limit of pas
sengers, and as she swung out into the
current of our own beautiful Columbia,
with the Dalles band playing selections
that were full of harmony, it did seem
that the excursionists were to bo favored
with one of the beet times they had ever
had, and sure enough we were not dis
appointed. After making a few way
landings between The Dalles and Cas
cade Locks, we made floe time to Port
land, arriving there at 4 p. m., giving us
three hours time in Portland, which was
improved to the beet ability of tho dif
ferent passengers. Some went to the
citv park: some witnessed the boat
racing, while others inspected the show
windows, and some took a look at Port
land from the heights and the Oregonian
building.
Leaving Portland at 6:5o, on good,
comfortable coaches, we arrived in
Astoria at 10:30 p. rn., where we were
met by the reception committee of forty
members. Headed by Mayor Bergman
and Herman Wise, we were marshale
into line and beaded for the 4th of July
headquarters on Commercial street.
Arriving there we were assigned to the
rooms that had been provided for us be
forehand, and in a little while the ma
jority of our people were sleeping the
leep of the just.
The 4th of July committee at Astoria
are to be congratulated for their enter
prise, honesty and philanthropy. Noth-
ng was too good for the boys and girls
with a red badge. We found no graft
ny where; everything was very reason-
hie. And the Aetoria people did all
they agreed to, (and a great deal more).
The rain early In the morning gave us a
chance to peep out from under umbrellas
at the ships lying in the harbor, and
especially at the cruiser Philadelphia,
which, to all land lub'jers, was a great
ship, with her tix-imh and six-pounder
guns standing out In deadly menace to
Uncle 8a iii's evil doers.
At 11 o'clock the parade was formed,
the place of honor being accorded to the
visitors from The Dalles by placing the
D. C. & A. C. band at the head of
the proceesion. The mayor and officers
of the Philadelphia and Fort Stevens
came next, followed by members of the
G. A. It., marines from the cruiser,
artillery from Fort Stevens, O. N. R.,
floats of various kinds, Astoria military
band of eighteen pieces, social and fra
ternal orders, etc. This, like everything
else, was a grand success. After the
parade we adjourned to the opera bonse,
where we listened to more than an
ordinary program. And so it went all
day. A vast series of entertainment,
either on the Philadelphia or at other
places, until evening when came .fire
works of beautiful designs, many bal
loons, etc.
A fine time was had on the way home.
The evening on the Dalles City is one
that will be remembered as a star of
social times, listening to the Inspiring
strains from our own band (the peer of
the state), taking in the beautiful
ecenery at intervals, again watching the
lovesick swain and his prospective
urine, ana again laughing at some time
ly joke, or at the antics of the would-be
cake walker, until the beautiful twilight
of the west had arrived, when we
gathered in the cabin and listened to
funny stories told by the Mark Twain
of the company ; then to conundrums,
passing of the thimble, etc., until home
was in eight, when "Home Sweet Il'tme"
and national airs were sung by all
present, winding up with a concert by
the band.
