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 f rettideM of the senate ; Fulton of Clat op, Mason of Multnomah, and Taylor of tumtitta. ' Whkm the honor of tbe country is con .corned, the pogulistic press can never scare the people with tbe cry ot bonds. '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 end Salem's business interests in a tak ibg manner. 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.

Mr. Tongue believes in 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. '' Whatever may be tbe opinion else where on this ceaat, the value of tbe lalanda it so apparent that the district can congratulate itself on havln a mem.

A W OANALj MBAIVKS,,, s 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 tion is given op entirely to the visit of 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 which they move is a noble one. Hawaii covers the Boys in blue with her leis of flowers, and to them all gives her greet ing: Aloha 1 SiEVYS 50TES. Items Gleaned From the and Far.

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." - , . . A. C.
