Ml SATURDAY, AUGUST U, liKX). ,j.cr No, my ou, Duller is not China, But then re others. 1U It is lucky for Li Hung ('hang that ho will have do difficulty iu establishing an alibi. Well, well, well. Count Castol lane has actually wounded a man in a duel. Such a thing has not happened in France for yearn Europeans say American ofllcera are too reckless in battle. Possibly, but they have to go ahead pretty fast to keep their men from running over them. , ''," '' Aguinaldo is probably congratu lating himself that though the war ia over and his followers scattered, there ia still hope in the coming election, w Distingu8hod men contimue to flop of both parties, but usually they land in some intermediate stage instead of going the whole way across the chasm. w The Chinese invented gunpowder aud the west iuvented machine guus and each is somewhat sur prised that its own invention is be . ing used against it by the other. It's tit for tat in this world. The Prohibitionists announce that they will stump the doubtful states. This is bewildering. What states do they consider doubtful aud to whom? They have never carried a state in a presidential election. AW No white man has ever seen the Empress Dowager, nor has hr pic ture ever been taken. This fact may account for the wonderful multiplicity of her portraits pub lished in the up-to-date American press. : ' If Bobs is correctly stated, ht is getting very tired of the guorrilla " warfare that the Boers are waging against him. He may well be. The British have already lost some forty thousand men in the Transvaal, a force equal to the entire Boer arm ies, and the war is by no means over yet. '.'.'" :" I The summer resort season for the great majority of the people who treat themselves annually to a va cation has not yet opened. It will be in full blast when hop picking gets fairly under way. Without these summer resorters the growers would have a hard time gutting their crops saved. Bristow's report on Cuba shows that Rathbone is as guilty as Neely. He is in Cuba where he can bo tried any day without any extradition proceedings to hamper the govern ment, and it is to be hoped that there will be no such delay in his case as we have already had in re gard to his subordinate. ft Otto Gilstrap, of the Eugene Register, says that while he (and other things) came up from Frisco, the fish were hungry and he fed them. Perhaps this accounts for the large number of dead fish along the coast just now. w ft The state has paid during the past year, says the Salem Journal, 478,982 for coyote scalps. They come high but the sheep rndustry must be protected. Yes, says the Shaniko Leader, and in protecting the sheep industry at least $100,000 worth of sheep have been saved to the producers. But how does this benefit the valley farmer, where a coyote has not been seen for ages? ft ft ft There is a great howl in Portland "over the intention of the Northern Pacific railroad managers to divert Oregon grown wheat to Tacoina, in stead of turning it over to the 0. R. & N. Co., to be hauled to the Ore gon metropolis, as has been the rule heretofore. The Northern Pa cific is hereafter to get the complete haul over its own lines. If this matter, shall unite the people of Portland and of this state in a con certed and determined effort to build up Oregon and its cities, it will be a good thing. There is no reason why the Webfoot state should not now enter upon a long period of development and growth. It will only require the united ef forts of her own people, who have heretofore hid the light of Oregon under a bushel, and allowed Wash ington and California to absorb the lion's share of the benefits of east ern capital, enterprise and immi gration. , It has often been said that Oregon needed an earthquake to wake her people up. This haa been in a large degree elandorous. But something has been needed to get Oregon people to working to gether and pushing their claims for ward everlastingly for recognition. r-SUVemoan, WA8H1XQTOX LETTER. ' Washington, D. C, July 30. That one of the bloodiest wars in history is about to be fought in China is now almost the general be lief in Washington, but a much better understanding must be reached by the nations supposod to bo allied against China before any: thing important ii likely to be ac complished. The jealousy, ; open and secret, between Russia and Japan, is believed to be largely, if not entirely, rewponsiblo for the de lay in starting the allied army from Taku to Pekin. The safety of the foreign ministers is "no longer the most important factor. Even ac cepting the Chinese assurances of their safety, the known massacre of other foreigners has made the occu pation of Pekin by a foreign army necessary in order to teaoh the Chinese a needed lesson in good be havior as well as to compel the payment of a suitable indemnity If the other powers declare war on China, the president will have to call an extra sesson of oongrecs to decide what this government will do. ' Spain isn't the first country to be greatly benefitted by a terrible threshing, but there is no doubt of its having benefitted largely by its American licking. Testimony to that effect is given by all who have visited Spain recently. For in- staiieo. Mr. C. II. Slater, a Colorado . . i . . ... j nusiness man, wno nas jusv reiunieu from a trip through Spain said: "The Spanish people are entering on a new era of prof perity. Spam'i humiliating defeat in her war with the U. 8.", has worked a complete revolution in the aspirations of her people. The loss of her colonies. which at the time was regarded as a calamity, has proved her greatest blesnins. It has served to divert attention to the home land and its possibilities of development. 'So long as Spain was a colonial power, her young men looked to the colon ies as their possible source of wealth, and those of them who were pro gressive left their homes to seek for tune in the islands, there being no industrial development in Spain, such of the population as were com pel led to remain at home grow poorer and poorer as the years went by. All this is changed now. Men of wealth, who formerly had all their interests in the insular pos sesions, are now looking about for investments at homo, and there is promise of such development as will make the Spaniards a great people again." Maj. E. T. Ladd, U. 8. A., treas urer of Cuba, who was in Washing ton a day or two ago, talked very plainly about the Cubans, consider ing his official position. He safd: "The Cubans are a harmless people, in no way fit for self-government, and the announcement of the early departure of the U. S. troops which, among the better element, had not been expected for the next ten years at least, has aroused a strong feel ing against the proposed step. The Spaniards and the better class of Cubans undoubtedly . prefer an American protectorate. A cry for self-government comes from the idle class and those who do not repre sent the best interests of the island. The finances of the island are in good condition. Since the first of January, 1899, we have collected something like $23,000,000 and have spent some $20,000,000. leav ing a surplus of about $3,000,000. The commercial conditions are bet ter and the sanitary conditions far ahead of what they have usually been." The adage about going away from home for news was again verified when it was cabled from Madrid, that the U. S. had offered Spain $100,000 for the two islands of the Philippine group located outside of the geographical boundaries named by the treaty which transferred the Philippines to this government, and the news was correct, too, It was a little surprising id Washington, outdde of official circles, as it was officially announced when Spain first claimed the right to retain sovereignly over those islands that this government had peremptorily domed that right, it is now ex plained that this government is bound to abide by the boundaries named in the treaty, and that its offer to purchase the two islands, which are unimportant was to pre vent either of them being obtained by an European power which wish es to establish a naval station in those waters. Complaints of army officers of a shortage of modern field guns, have resulted in an order for 200 three inch field guns of the latest type. These guns will cost about $1000 each, and about the same amount will be spent for ammunition for them. The new type of gun has been thoroughly tested, and is de clared by our ordnance experts to be the best of its kind. . There isn't much consolation for prohibitionists in the annual re port of the commissioner of internal revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30 last. There waa an in-1 crease over the previous year in the sale of all kinds of liquor stamps, in distilled liquors ; 0,701,009 gal Ions, and in fermented liquors, 2,749,735 barrels. v Many find con solation, however, in a decrease of cigarettes weighing not moro than threo pounds to the thousand of 107,051,180. There wan an Increase oleomargarine stamps of 23,76S,023 pounds. ; . '' There ia enough idle money in Salem to build a motor lino to Sil verton, or to Independence and Dallas. And such a linn, honestly constructed and well managed, would pay at least 4 per cent inter est on the investment, lsldes do ing- a world of good. Statesman. Thank you, Kindly Brother. But we. opine that Independence con hoe her own row; ami anyhow we don't want a road to Salem vry badly. We prefer to build our line out towards Falls City. A line from here to Salem would be a good thing for Salem. V i ft ft "Rattlesnake" Jones is the name of ft Boise man who captures snakes and sells them to the Chinese who puts them in bottles of whisky and lets the whisky stand two years. What remains of the snakes is then removed and the whisky left to clarify, which takes five years. The liquid then is a sovereign cure for rheumatism, says the Statesman The Chinese claim it will cure the most vloleut case. Down this woy our boys cau get "snakes" without waiting seven years. Some of the whisky they drink is enough to bring them In nn hour at most. Navigation on the Willamette river, excepting for steamers of light draft, is suspended for the summer season. This ought not to 1)6, says the Salem Statesman. There is enough water in this stream, under a proper system of improvements, to allow its miviga tion the year through. And the Willamette valley is certainly im portant enough to justify the im provement of the river by the gov ernment. The cities along its banks should get together, and stay to gether, in an effort to have the im provement made. . ft ft The second number of the Oregon Historical Quarterly is at hand and as usual is replete with interesting sketches of early stato history, The Quarterly contains the following articles: "The Oregon Question," by Joseph R. Wilson; "Our Public Land system, and its Relation to Education in the United States," by Mrs. Frances Fuller Victor; "Glimpses of Life in Early Oregon," by Mrs. William Markland Mol- son; "Not Marjoram the Spanish Word 'Oregano' not the Original of Oregon," by II. W. Scott; "Re miniscences of Louis Labonte," by H. S. Lyman; "A Narrative of Early Events in Oregon Ascribed to Dr. John McLoughlin;" "Review of Hooks," etc, 1 he price is one dollar a year, and if succeeding numbers are equal in merit to this one. the punlicauon will be val uable to every Oregonian, not only to read, but to preserve. ft ft ft The wheat growing farmers of the Willamette valley will experience one of the hardest times this full they have in many years. In the ong run it may prove a benefactor to them. It will cause many of them to go into diversified farming and stock raising, for which Oregon and this valley are specially and abundantly adapted and for which there must for many years, says tho IIomcHteud, be a good demand. I he outlook for wheat growing in Ore gon is gloomy at best. This must necessarily be so from the simple fact that so many other countries can gruw wheat cheaper, and are nearer the markets of the world Russia, India, and some of the countries of South America have developed during the past few years into vast wheat regions where labor is much cheaper. But for wool growing and stock rojsing those countries cannot compete with Ore' con. It must follow that our peo pie give more attention to dairying and stock raising. Hut there will bo no less wheat grown in the Wil lamette valley or in Oregon under a system of diversified and intensi fied farming (in bushels) than now and heretofore. But a less acreage of land will be required to raiBe it. And more of it will be consumed on the farms in the feeding of stock. More of it will be ' on centra tod in form before being sent to market. William Montgomery, our barber who lives out on Alder Slope, in forms us that he saw some young Chinese pheasants the other morn ing. Three years ago enough mon ey was raised by private Bubscrip tion to send away and procure twelve pairs of these birds. I hey have been heard of and seen fre quently but this is the first acoount of their propagation. Wallowa Chieftain. ft ft ft A Tacoma councilman has intro duced an ordinance to govern tho the town's street car service. It provides that.no passenger -will be allowed to stand on the inside of any car for lack of seating room, and the company will not be allow ed to take on more passengers than they have seats for. Gates must be placed on each end of every closed car, and passengers be prevented from alighting on the danger side of a double track. . FARM EXPOSITION LETTER, -." From our ItouUr Currnnxmdanl, Parts, Franco, July 15. It was part of my duty to loo the minister of commerce (M. Miller- and) a few days ago it) connection with the Fourth, and while waiting (or him I passed the time looking through Fornand Lubori'i "Grand Review" at he calls his monthly magaxtne. Llxrl is well known to Americans as as the heroic a voeato of Dreyfus a tall, burly young man with immense vitality and strength, and any amount of fighting iownr, He is married to an English woman . and speaks English better than his wife Kuk French, no doubt, as he tells you himself, because he makes her talk English so that ho limy ' not forget that language, "if she wants lesson in French let her come and take one in the courts," he adds. Well, in the Grand Review an other Dreyfuslte you know of in America, vei Guyot, suggests rather than prophesies that France will some day become Protestant. Does that surprise you? Yet It not so surprising if you think of it The qualities of tho French mind and character are eminently adapt ed for Protestantism shrewd, logi cal, not canity deceived once the first glamour of sotrie precious dog ma has worn off, such are the French. But first let mo soy that when I qicak of France I do not mean Paris nor when I speak of Paris do I mean France. They are two countries, ulfnost two nation alities, and though, politically and artistically, Paris rules Franco, it is only suiwlicially and she gives France neither religion nor moral ity. That is done by Rome, for the priests educate the intellectual and moral forces of tho nation and the priests take their instructions from Rome. But for NujKtlwn the First a priest despiser if ever there was one France might easily have be come Protestant at tho revolution; in fact Naoleon was widely reviled for suppling tho foreign influence of tho Pope and for signing the Concordat with Kin In .1801. The Concordat is tho base of the present French religious system. But Na Heon could not do without tho 1m, or rather his ambition made him soppoxe he could make the Pope his vuhhivI, and through the I'ojm! foreign countries, lie brought the Pope of his day to Paris, you rememlier, for his coronation and when the 1'of.e offered to place the crown on his head, ho very clover seized it, placed it on his head him self, and then on that of his Em prees. Now tho result of the Con cordat Is that the foreign Catholic system has grown into tho French mind and habits and the govern ment cannot get rid of it if it would. The government, it is true, nomi nates tho GO French bisiiops, but the Popo has an absolute veto, aud as tho 3XX) cures are irremovable, and the 7000 vicars entirely in the hands of of the bishops, the govern ment cannot dispossess them. I am far from saying or thinking there is a disposition on a largo scalu in France to turn to Protest antism. Country life in France is the abomination of desolation and tho Catholic church with its glitter ing ceremonial, its fetes, and its clever priesthood are almost the sole means of intellectual distrac tion and amusement for the people. Literature is not spread and read through France as in the United States. I only say, that there is a Protestant movement of consider able forco and that vast numbers of French people despise tho French clergy and their ways. Many, cer tainly, detest tho confessional. Whether any thing will happen to strengthen the movement I speak of, or to hopelessly discredit the Catholio church in France, no one can Bay. One thing seems obvious. Unless there shall bo some great moral change, somo species of purj; gation,' France must continue to sink in the scale of nations like Italy, Spain, Bolgium and other Catholic or largely Catholio na tions. . I was talking tho other day to Arch Bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, about tho ubo of English in the Catholio church. He thinks the church will one day use nothing but English and reminded me that de Maistre so prophesied a hundred years ago. If ever such a thing does happen, if the Latin mass and the gay ritual that becomes neces sary owing to the mass's failure to reach the worshiper's heart, is ever anglicised, it will be at any rate a first step towards reform.

Yl Tj turn to another subject, yet one not wholly irrelevant, foreign languages, Mr. Charlemagne Tower, the United States amlmitador to Russia, has written a letter to the New York Times' Paris Exposition edition omphalng the imKrtanc to Americans of learning foreign languages. Mr. Tower asserts that not only in diplomacy but in trade is a sound knowledge of foreign lan guages necessary, and all the, more now that America is entering upon now and far-off fields of enterprise and administration. It seems good advice If we were really reconciled to expansion. And expand we surely must; it is inevitable; not, perhaps, by merely grabbing terri tory, but in tho race of progress that is going on between all nations over a globe that every year is be coming more and moro common ground. Few men are likely to adopt the coatlesi shirt fashion.
