Hammer Marmot Adolph Ascboti HEADERS OF THE OREGOMAN can hardly doubt that their distinguished editor is opposed to free coinage of silver, bat when they conclude that he does not believe in the advantage of college education in all probability they err. To believe in education at all is to believe in college education. Had it been with in their power, oar so-called "self-educated" men would have gladly availed themselves of college advantages, and Jthey would have accomplished more because they would have retained their faculties longer, not having been forced to rob their youth by digging oat at nigni with the aid of a torch-light their coveted knowledge. Would Benjamin j Franklin have gone to the bad had he had the same school advantages it was William E. Gladstone's privilege to en i joy? Would Franklin Lave advocated Jree-coinage of silver had he bad access to adversity training? Would any man, who'is willing to deny himself everything in order to acquire an education, go wrong limply because something turned op to enable him to attend college where he might have the advantage of books and direction how to uee them, which, to aay the least, would certainly save him time. The necessity-mother-of-invention proverb would apply here in as mnch only as it might be the means of en abling the young man to get to college. Goethe contends that Barns even would have been a greater poet had he en joyed better school advantages. Be cause some of our national representa tives advocate free silver signifies noth ing; trie same men would be free-silver Missouri larmers, or uoiorado mine laborers the very worst enemies of the gold standard had they neyer been to college. The fact that 75 per cent, of the people's representatives are college- -bred men should rather support Presi dent Eliot in the statement that "few college men so to the bad." F. L. P. GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. The present administration has more momentous questions to solve' than any other since the civil war, questions that loom op more portentious than tariff or finance, great as they are to the welfare of the nation, as well as to Europe. , The possibilities to this coun try in trade with the millions of Asia is now,' engrossing the civilized world England and Russia are the two great factors struggling for supremacy in the East ; both wish the aid of the United States, j Her friendship is considered so important that Russia has accredited to Washington Count Cassini, a diplomat of world-wide reputation, and England wishes us to understand that no quarrel will be raised over the Alaskan boundary and that we have her moral support in uie iuuan matter; something ol a change from the Venezuela affair. It is even rumored that England has offered this government the use of her navy in case of war with Spain. These matters show the importance of the Chinese situation. A change in China is bound to take place soon. When it comes the whole empire will probably be opened to the trade of certain nations. As these trade relations are established they will continue for years. The momentous question is will this nation get the ad vantages she is entitled to? Will the producers of this country go into the markets of the far East on an equality with Europe? Allied and interwoven with the East ern question is that of Hawaii. That these islands are the key to the Pacific is generally admitted. In the hands of a hostile power the entire coast and the Nicaragua canal would be at its mercy. W do not believe any other nation will be allowed to get a foothold in these islands. That we shall control the islands is settled. As to what political relationship shall exist between Hawaii and the United States is the important question that the administration has to deal with . That this country will build and con trol the canal is practically settled. It is a stupendous undertaking requiring vast capital but the siie of the under taking is not to be compared with the commercial effect its completion will have on the country and especially this coast. As to whether the canal shall be built and operated by the government or fallen by private means under the protection of the government are matters that are receiving the greatest attention at the hands of the administration. The prob abilities are that the canal will be built by private means under the protection of the United States, possibly with aid from the government. The question before the administra tion is the Cuban matter. Ever since the destruction ot the Maine the opinion has been growing that Spain is responsi ble. The indications so far as they are obtainable bear out the tbeorv that a Spanish agent, or citixen caused the explosion. If the former, it would mean war. If the latter, it would mean apol ogy and reparation. Complicity on the part of the Spanish government will never be proven. That the explosion came from an outside cause rather than from within will probably never be set tled positively although the conviction is growing that Spain directly or indi- rectly should be held accountable. The ttovernment is apparently acting on this theory. $50 000,000 is placed at the disposal of the President, all coast de fenses are being strengthened, large munitions of war are ordered, troops are moved and a new department of the army in the South, at Atlanta, created. These preparations are made for peace, not war. and Spain will take heed of them. Europe sees that we have risen to the responsibility of the situation, that humanitarian motives actuate us, and her moral support will be with as. There will be no war, but Cuba will receive her freedom entire or substan tially so, and reparation will be made for the Maine disaster if the responsibil ity can be fixed. Diplomacy, often armed diplomacy, fights these battles. The government at Washington has its hands full of weighty matters and it is well that so good a man as President McKinley is at the helm. meat. If Massachusetts cannot survive her present unfortunate predicament, which Is due simply to the refractory effect oi that ever upheld doctrine ol all "practice" and no "theory," her vll lages had better become deserted. Let her weavers and shoe-makers follow the sensible example ot the brave "Green Mountain" boys, who, when the great wheat lands of the West began to be opened up, abandoned their little, rocky farms amid the dear old hills of Ver mont, and migrated to those states bet ter suited by nature for agricultural pur poses, taking with them their families, few of whom ever returned strain to their native homes, but whose descend ants today are counted among the rich. In order that the early settlers of Vermont and New Hampshire might have remained in their native states the Government could have transported the rich soil of the Dakota and Montana to New England, but the expense Involved in such an undertaking would have oo the people of the entire country. F. L. P. DB. W. D. WILLIAMS, the present able pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, will be with us now, we are sorry to understand, only a little while lunger, possibly not over two Sun days. He and his good wife will be greatly missed by the members of their church as well as all others whose priv ilege it has been to know tbem. They will go from here to New York City, where, it might be safely said, they will remain, for, as a preacher, in that city even, Dr. Williams will find few equals. He possesses the rare combination of a fairly good voice, a pleasing delivery too appropriately varied to become in the least monotonous and a beautiful command of words, including synonyms. But above all he is evidently a thinker and a student, and a man of great nat ural refinement of feelings. The con gregation Sunday evening was larger than usual, but it seemed very small for the magnificent sermon Dr. Williams delivered on the subject of "An Inter mediate State." His text was taken from St. Peter, 3d chapter and 19tb verse, which reads, "By which also he went and preached nnto the spirits in prison." lurougu tue enure sermon each person present seemed intensely interested. It showed so eloquently how one might die even in sin and still not necessarily be forever cast into an everlasting hell-fire; and, just at this time it was certainly appropriate. F. L. P. IsKCAi'tk the Supreme court has de cided in the Nebraska railroad case that corporations are entitled to the same consideration that individuals are; that corporations are persons in a legal sense and their property can not be confis cated by a Populist legislature; that as ; common carriers their rates may be reg ulated by law but not placed at so low a rate as to amount to confiscation of property; that the stockholders have rights that even Populists must respect; that the Court has the right to review the fixing of rates by the legislature; because of this stand by the Court, the Governor of Kansas bowls nil sorts of Populist inuendo. The decision of the Court was honeet and fair. To have de cided otherwise would mean the promul gation of the doctrine of taking of prop erty without compensation. The stand of the Populist Governor would mean simply anarchy, nothing more nor less. It has been suggested that Spain has placed a chip on her shoulder and in vited the United States to knock it off, and The Dallas Mountaineer desires to know if Uncle Sam should accept the challenge? It might better be asked should a gentleman take notice, of to the extent ot resenting, the taunts and blackguardism of the Bowery tough The old Southern idea of regaiding in suit, however beautiful to behold, was lacking in good, horse sense, and it has almost entirely been replaced by the now generally prevailing, more manly more practicable, more honorable, more charitable unwritten law of "resenting violence, but paying no attention what ever to insult." According to Sam Jones the man who accuses yon falsely of be ing a liar, is a liar himself, and there fore, because of this characteristic which is indeed a sore affliction, instead of pro voking your anger, should more natur ally incline you to feel kindly toward him. here can be taxed under the law. The Court holds that under this law such 1 - 1. . 1 .

We believe the law was properly re pealed. Conghknsm an Bailry of Texsi is the Democratic loader in the house of repre sentatives. He officially promulgates Democratic doctrine. At his recent speech in Richmond he disclaimed any sympathy with the fiat money doctrine. He wanted money of "primary value," This U the doctrine of the party that the Populists are going to fuse with. Of course the St, Louis and Omaha platforms ot the People's party are dia metrically opposed to this, but that make little difference, they are fusing on principle (?). People who persist in not giving a man his just deserts are apt to create suspicion: thev are evidently r prejudiced and, as invest igation would prove, usually dishonest. Thomas Watson and Eugene V. Dubs are contemplating an invasion of Oregon. Should they be hungry when they reach this city the Enterprise could give them some wood to saw. the situation there, wlineseed a lively engagement between two hundred in surgents and an equal number of Span ish infantry. The Senator does not say, but he leaves the Impression that he sought refuge behind a hugs Cuban boulder while the battle was going on. The Dalles Times-Mountaineer: Spain ha thrown the gauntlet to the United States. When It asked the re call of General Lee It put a chip on Its shoulder thut it Invited the United States to knock off. Will the United States do it? Will the money power liermlt President McKinley to accept the challenge? The President is no doubt willing to maintain the dignity of the nation, thoutih he is somewhat slow to act, anil does not exercise the prompt. ness the people would like to see.

Silvbb Democracy is nearing its end when it adopts measures like those re cently adopted in Kentucky and Texas, In the former, fearing defeat, they have placed the entire machinery ot election in a board of three persons chosen by the legislative party caucus. Kentucky is a gold state but the present law passed over the Governor's veto will crush out every vestige of free election in Kentucky. In Texas they make it a condition precedent for the voters who supported the Silver party in both State and National campaign in 1806 to vote at the primaries, but in Oregon where they feel they are not strong enough to fight an open a6ressive fight they are gently leading the unwary Populist, under the guise of fusion, to that historical place between the devil and the deep sea. IT WKKK CHKAPEB for the country that manufacturers of an artificial product move their Dusiness to section where its existence will no longer depend on aid from the Govern- Mrs. Lease is coming to Oregon, too. What a great thing it would be if ohe could prevail on the Governor to accom pany her. Between the Leedys and Leases, ladies and laces, bloomers and editors of Populist, so-called news papers, Kansas ought to be considered pretty productive in the eyes of Mr. Decs and Mr. Watson. Tui validity of the Oregon mortgage tax law has been sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States. The law was repealed some years ago but the collection of taxes under it has been in litigation for some time. The important question being whether mort gages held outside of the State on lands Governor Leedj Will Be Far dotted Jingo Press Would Fight For Peace. and first one at a Astoria Herald : Washington was first in war in peace; but he took them time. Washington Standard: The jingo press seems to be so anxious for peace that they want the people to fight for it. Oregon ian : The fundamental error of Mr. Towne, and of all others who talk as he does, lies in this: "America is the world, and we can fix values as we please." Oregonian : Governor Leedy says, "If anybody goes to jail it will be me," and the Gov ernor's bad English will be pardoned, should be prove to be a true prophet. La Grande Chronicle: The fact that the war scare has not given a shock to business is the most conclusive evidence of the fact that the present activity of trade rests on a sound basis. Union Weekly Republican: Senator McBride is a representative of Oregon and in voting against the seating of Corbett be represented 00 per cent, of the people of this state. Did he do his duty? London Times: Mr. McKinley cannot more surely trsnquilize American opinion and secure a fair field for his pacific endeavors than by convincing the American people that he is prepared for all contingencies. London Graphic: England would sympathize with a war tor the liberation of Cuba, but if the United States goes to war, it must be in a just cause, and after every effort to secure an honorable peace has been ex- usted . The Temps: Spain does not deceive herself when she counts upon the sympathy of at least the latent European governments, but it would be a mistake for her to ex pect any effectual support from either Great Britain or the triple alliance. Be fore all, she must rely upon herself. Oregon Statesman : Cuba will be free, and she will owe her independence to the brave men who have for so many weary months resisted the armed powers of Spain, and are now, fter all the loss of life and suffering, stronger than heretofore in every way, and none the less determined.
