Sp tin nut of Cuba, p.iinti the straight
way out of the difficulty, which Mr. Mis
Ku ley seems to be desirous of compli
cating. I is directly in line with the
simple solution named bv The Woild:
Keep f nth with Cuba by making the
island free an i independent, as we
promised to do, and peek in the regular
way through treath-s such protective
rights and compensatory privileges as
are nec-s-ury and proper In the circumstances
Senator TeJIet insists that the Uuited
Stales, through the president in his
executive . apacitv, shall carry out its
pledge to niitke the island Iree. We can
then secure from Cuba, as a sovereignty
"such assurances by treaty thai may be
passed upon by the president an I. the
senate as to protect this country an 1 the
Cubans from any possible calamitv that
has been suggested as likely to i c'ur
through premature independencj and
self government "
This is the legal, tbi, honorable, the
only straight pith out of the Cuban com
plication. If we mean to keep nnr w .rd
and to preserve iindiimn.-d the shining

If we accept this business without

It is a big question, this one of how
far might makes right, an I how far the
blpssiinrs of civilizMi in shall be toreed
on reluctant weaklings. Excellent peo
ple thini differently about it. The
strong have always ruled and always
will, while their strength lasts, but let
them look to their strength. Is it
healthy for Europe to propagate the
germs of civilisation in blood as she is
bo prone to do? Is it healthy for us?
Americans who are really worried about
the Philippine war are not nearly bo
much distressed about its ell ct on the
Filipinos who are being killed as on the
Americans who are doing the killing.
So as to the British war in South Africa.
There are not many Boers. One could
endure to see them wiped out if bo it
was writien. But what of the moral sense
of England? Will it be lost in the crush?
Our anxiety in all these matters is not
any more for the weak who are crushed
than the strong who do the crushing.
But why all this squeamishness? Have
not the robber-baron methods always
prevailed on earth, and much more vir
ulently in times past than now ? To be
sure. The chief difference is, not that
worse things are done now, but that
AS THEY A RE SEEN.
A. Noltnkr, an old resident of Clack
amas county, has the following to say of
Representatives Dresser and Hedges in
his paper, the Itortland Dispatch:
"A man who gives a written political
pledge is unworthy of confidence and
proves his true character when he le
trays that pledge. Mr. Dresser, after
signing that ironclad pledge to support
Senator Corbett and violating it, need
not expect in future to receive the confi
dence of his constituents even in ids
private relations with them. That such
a pledge was demanded of bin. shows
that confidence in his word was warn ing
by his political associates. A political
traitor wdl not hesitate iu betraying a
private trust. Mr. Dresser may be an
honorable man but his own evidence
precludes any such an assumption.
There are, however, .other Dressers in
Clackamas county.
"For a young man of more than ordi
nary ability, Representative Hedges, of
Clackamas county, has brought to a sud
den end a political career that might
have been used to bis honor i nd that of
Ids party. When a democrat votes for
a republican be finds his political end,
and especially when that vote results in
