i MaJJ'AacT.baa brought a wnteet
over the Judgeship In tbe Third judicial
district., against Judge v Bolts, who la
elected on the lace of the "return. Roth
are Fusion candidate, and the question
is, which Vnat Judge Hewitt, as he
was the low man and Judge Burnett the
high man, two Judges being elected in
the district. The claim' ia that the can
vassing board hat wrongly canvassed
the vote. In Marion county in partlcu-
lar it Is claimed that the return bave
been tampered with in three precincts
the tally sheet from one was missing (or
a time. County Clerk Ehlen, of Marion
county has been missing since a few
days after the election, and all sorts of
rumors are in circulation concerning his
absence. His financial affairs are Raid
to be in bad shape.

honor has been vindicated. In a few
Veekt tppre abe will be positive of it.
Tin brightest spot is tbe determina
tion to send a fleet to Spain, The dark
est is the pause before Santiago, where
infantry is woefully unfit to cope with
forts and entrenchments which should
be combat ted with high-power siege
guns. We have a navy we have no
army that ia tbe difference between the
two pictures. Every delay, every re-
Terse our forces suffer before Santiago
lies at the door of our demagogues who
lyingly decry the army and the militia as
a "menace to our free institution!."
Populism is the deadliest foe of the
American volunteer. Oregonian.
Tbbri are three active candidates for

' Whkm the honor of tbe country is con

'Try something else.
Is the election muddle at Salem for
Judge, Boiae has bad D'Arcy and bis at
torneyt arrested for tampring with the
returns. Missing County Clerk Ehlen
jS implicated.
Ths press of the state is very much
agitated as to who will be the next sen
ator. If all the prognostication can be
fceliered. not a prominent man in the
etate stands any show of election.
Tai Exposition number of tbe Sale
Seminal is a credit to that paper. It is
gotten 'up in attractive shape, well
illustrated and eels forth Marion county

It seems that Col. Wood's rough
tders - were ambuMied at LaQuaaina.
Tbey were able to dislodge the enemy
$yen then, but with the loss of 16 men
and about 60 wounded missing. They
never faltered, but tougbt as the volun
teers did in the civil war. The officers
have nothing but praise for the men.
The populistic press has bad so many
of its fallacies exploded of late that they
are at sea a to what doctrine to promul
gate. The fall in the price of wheat has
Tallied them on tbe "silver and wheat
keep together" proposition. But they
are harmless ; they do not really expect
anyone to believe them. They must aay

'ilVs examination held at the ' request of
- Cong raasman Tongue by President

gfving every bov an equal chance.
Ws would ask every reader of the En
erprise , to ; carefully, read "Tbe War
Revenue Bill" in last week's issue. This
4ull was passed in short order by the boose
hiob.is1 overwhelmingly Republican,
avnd Anally agreed to in the senate. Bead
Still tbe Herald Is fighting the issue of
bonds. Tries to get sarcastic over the
bond tale. We supposed this was settled
and agreed to by a senate that was not
considered sound on the money question
When tbe senate, wblcb la not in har
mony with the administration, agrees to
a bond sale as a war measure, there must
be a good reason for the same.
We are waging a war In the interests
of humanity a step no other nation has
taken. England did not see her way to
do it in Crete or Armenia. We show the
way to higher ideals in our relations with
the governments of tbe earth. At such a
time, in such a crisis, shall we hesitate
to furnish the necessary financial aid?
We think not. We believe, as evidently
tbe senate did, that it is a time when
every citizen should do his utmost to
help the government . This is a popular
loan. It has been subscribed three times
over.
It has been placed so that any citizen
can subscribe, and the people show tbeir
patriotism by subscribing in the way
they do. Another reason that these
bonds are so eagerly sought a.ter is that
the people now know that they will be
paid in sound dollars. A safe loan on
long time always gets less interest.
The Herald says that legitimate busi
ness does not pay as well as bonds. Is
there a man who believes it? Oregon
City is a complete refutation to such a
statement.
That the Sandwich islands will be an
nexed is a foregone conclusion. The
conservative men who have opposed the
taking of new territory will have to
recede from this position. Tbe war is
making a new epoch in our history. If
we are to become a factor in the history
of the earth, even if we are to play the
part our greatness entitles us to in the
commercial world, we must have out
posts and coaling stations, where the
struggle tor commercial supremacy is
thickest.
The demand of the great commercial
interests for a foothold at the door of
great trade possibilities will sweep away
objections of the conservatives who see
trouble ahead as to the station the
islands shall take in our scheme of gov
ernment. When the commercial inter
ests are backed by the fact that we are
waging a foreign war in which the islands
become of great strategic value, then,
indeed is the enrrent too strong for tbe
conservatives to stem. j r-, ' ;
Clovelandhas protested, and so has
Bryan, that this should not be a war for
the acquisition of territory,, But the war
is on, and when we come out we wifl
have possessions in both the Indies as
well as Hawaii. We predict that one of
the important plankt in the party plat
forms in 1900 will be the question of
annexation of territory. , -r
In 'this connection,' - Congressman
Tongue made an extended and very able
presentation of the Value of Hawaii to
this nation in the house of representatives
last week. ''

The plan now before .'the Senate to
build the Nicaragua canal seta aside tit
Maritime Canal Coutpaay, whose inter
ests are bought outright, and vesta the
cost of lha work in the United States gov'
eminent.' v ' i ,
lhe advantages ot this scheme are
twofold. , For one thing, the supremacy
of Arnekau control la fixed ; for another,
the United States and not a private cor
poration will got the profits of the canal
business.
Profits ought to be large enough to pay
for fortifications, Improvements and
pairs and provide annual accretions to
the Treasury besides. The Sues canal
cost 187,500,000 and Is capitalised at
$1)0,500,000. In 1SD2 it paid a net profit
of $3,333,333,33 which was produced by
the passage of 3559 vessels. Shares, the
par value of which is $100, are quoUd on
the Paris Bourse at $538.50. The 120,
000,000 worth of stock owned by the
British Government is quoted at fi)5,
000,000 in open market. Since 181)2
there has been no decrease of business ;
in fact, an increase. The gross dues in
1805, for example, were over $15,000,000.
As an engineering problem the Nica
ragua canal ia nothing extraordinary and
need not give the most sensitive Con
gressman a qualm. The route traverses
tbe lowett depression of land in the Cor
diller between the Artie ocean and Cape
Horn, ia 170 miles loog, with a tout ex
cavation ot only twenty-eight miles, the
test ot the distance being free naviga
tion in river and lake. A ship can pass
from ocean to ocean ia twenty-eight
boors and 22,000 can go through in a
year. Tbe minimum deptb of the canal
will be thirty feet. Such an undertak
ing as the ditching of twenty-eight miles
of low country ought not to cost much
more than $100,000,000, especially in
view of the tact that the Sues canal,
eighty-six miles long, seventy-two feet
wide and twenty-six feet deep, cost about
$13, 000,000 less.
To put $100,000,000 into a canal that
will give tbe United States control of
the principal trade route ot the world,
which will enable the government to
concentrate ita whole Navy on eithor
coast at short notice and which will pay
from 8 to 15 per cent Interest per annum
that seems to be so sound a business
proposition as to warrant the speedy
passage of the pending bill. Ex.
HONOLULU WELCOMES THE BOYS.
A Copy of the Commercial Advertiaer
of Honolulu has been leceived at the
Enterprise office. It is denominated tho
'Boys in Blue Edition" being printed in
red and blue on wh'te paper. The edi

our troops to the exclusion of everything
even tbe advertisements. It gives all
the details of tbe reception and enter
tainment of our soldiers. It would be a
credit to any paper in the United States.
On the front page it has an American
flag with the following below it, "This
is what has gone to Manila."
At the head of the editorial column
this sentiment is expressed.
"Hawaii welcomes tbe advance guard
of the American legions moving across
the great Tranquil Sea to the
Tropics. It is the first movement ot
American bayonets bevond the Western
margin of the continent. The cauce in

BEST SARSAPARILLl
"Best" is an easy boast. But there's no best without a test. You
expect something extra of bestj something extra in bread from best
flour; something extra in wear from best cloth; something extra in
cures from best medicines. It's that something extra in Aycr's Sarsa
parilla that makes Ayes the best. That something extra is quality.
Remember it's quality that cures, not quantity. Geo. Smith of the
People's Drug Store, Seymour, Conn., says: "I have sold your goods
for twenty-five years and when a customer asks me for
The Best Preparation
for the Blood
I say: 'If you will take my opinion, use Ayer's Sarsaparilla; I will guar
antee that you will receive more benefit by using one or two bottles of
Ayer's than you would by using half a dozen bottles of some other kind.'
When they take it, I never hear any complaint."
Ayer's Sarsaparilla cures all diseases that have their origin in impure
blood: sores, ulcers, boils, eruptions, pimples, eczema, tetter, scrofula, etc.
It cures cheaply, it cures quickly, and it cures to stay. That's why it's best.
' "After twenty year' experience ai a druggist, I consider Ayer' Sarnparilla auperlor to
any iirailar preparation on th market, and I give it the prefsrenc over all other."

"I consider Ayer ' Sarsaparilla the best blood purifier on the market."
