The question of the disposition of the Philippines was to great extent left open by the protocol. All other ques tions at issue between Spain and the United States on the main lines were settled by that document end the peace commission at Paris has been dealing only with details, some important, but none essential in so far as to endanger the armistice now existing between the two countries. When the question of the disposition of the Philippines came up with all the details concerning the same, it was a matter to be determined by the com mission and was carried te the forum of diplomacy for determination. The ques tion that a victorious and a vanquished party are the central figures, if any others need be considered, must be borne in mind. This country conld not lose sight of the fact that this war was undertaken not for conquest, but for humanity. America being the con querorcould dictate the terms, but they most be reasonable and in the interests of the nation, as well as foreigners, to coromsnd the respect of the civilized world . To wrest the islands from Spain appears like "a war for conquest. To leave them to her is to perpetuate endless Buffering and bloodshed and perpetuate a rule that can scarcely be called civi lized. The war was undertaken to end this rule in the Western hemisphere The United States could not help fasten it on islands in the east when the iMle wpra foceht in the name of humanity. America has destroyed all government and order that existed but now stands guard herself. It is hardly contended that the natives are able to maintain a government according to the standard of western civilization. Spain, cruel and harsh as her methods were with the natives, protected thousands of foreigners and millions of property. A government that undertaks a war on humanitarian grounds mast leave better protection than she destroys. Neither the natives or Spain can give it. To give the natives absolute control would be to drive foreigners and their invest ments from the islands witn the chances that ciyilization would depart with them. This government finds stself in the posi tion where she can not let go. She must do for the islands more than she found or the war would be a failure. To do these things she must hold them and she must recompense Spain. The com mercial advantages to America are great, but the responsibilities assumed are greater, but nations like individuals grow by conquering difficult problems. Tiik plainer it becomes that this gov ernment will construct the Nicaragua canal the more anxious speculators are to get some bold in Nicaragua that this government will have to buv out. The ---- - i latest in this line is a concession granted 1 to two speculators to build the canal on the expiration of the present concession to the Maritime Canal Company. The government of Nicaragua granted this concession just before it was rourged in to the greater republic of Central America. If the Maritime company should forfeit its right then these spec ulation would claim fights and demand a large sum to give the same up. The Maritime company practically means this'government MUi (tops are being taken to guard all interveeta that this govern ment has in the matter but the going out of existence of Nicaragua and the formation of the greater republic may make entanglements. This government should give scant consideration to any claims of this kind and especially so when the claimants try to get rights In the face of the avowed intention of this government to construct the canal. For the first time in the history of this country since gold was discovered in California the United States has to take second place as a producer of that metal as South Africa will undoubtedly lead for the year 180S and did, with a slight margin in the Jear ISO. This is ac counted for by the fact that many miners from the United States have gone to Youkon and while the gold there is principally taken out by Ameri can miners it is credited to Canada. South Africa produced $37,633,000, the United States, $57,363,000, Australia $55,000,000 in 1897. This is a gain for the United States over 1890 of a little over $1000,000 while South Africa gains nearly $14,000,000 over the previous years. California is no longer at the head of the list as a gold producer, hav ing had to yield the palm to Colorado. The world's production is increased by an excess of nearly $30,000,000 over the preceding year and the proportion for coinage of the total amount produced steadily increases over that need In the fine arts. By 1900 there will be pro duced annually $300,000,000 of gold in the world. The silver product of the United States declined nearly 5,000,000 ounces during the year 1897 and nearly all the silver now mined in the United States in as a byproduct. The greatest mine for this metal in this country is the great Anaconda copper mine. One of the chief teasons why the silver pro duct of this country has fallen off as compared with Mexico is that in that country the workmen in the mine are paid out of the products produced and whether silver goes up or down a tertain proportion goes to the worker In the mine. In this country the labor is paid on a gold basis and when silver went down the pay of the labor did not, and most of the mines were compelled to shut down as the profit was cut out. The election has resulted in a victory to the republicans. The next congress will be republican in both bouses. The senate goes from the control of the op position and will- have a majority of twenty. The house stays in the band of the republicans, but by a reduced majority, probably with very few votes to spare. The democrats in the East re nouueed free silver and gained seats in the bouse for that reason. In California and Washington the republicans gain de cided victories electing the state ticket both congressmen in Washington and nearly a straight congressional ticket in California. Roosevelt carries New York by 20,000 with a republican legisfature. Nebraska is close, while Kansas goes re publican New Jersey and Deleware are republican while the democrats and usionists carried Utah Colorado, Idaho and Wountana. , To date Portland furnishes 58 5 per cent, the sound 24.8 per cent and San Francisco 16.7 per cent of the grain and flour slripments of the coast for the sea son 1898-yO. With this woe the Enterprise enters upon its thii tX-'onrth year. It is con ceded one of the inking PaPr8 of the state and has alwayiMtoo(I tor republi canism. Few papers lVve "mu i'u,r lished as long in the alateV taken the jjoi v vi luo -ajuvssi too tu vq ( n s4 rtf tha li ninrfirma in ltd Hon. Henby Failing, who died Tues day was one of the forinoet citizens of the Northwest. His loss is one that Port land especially and the Northwest will feel keenly. Portland owes much of its stability as a commercial and financial center to Henry Failing. He had held many positions of trust with honor and ' credit but it was as a financier that he was and moet favorably known. Port- laud looses a man that it will be bard to replace. 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxzcxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE NEWSo OF THE WEEK 4 D With a shortage in the wheat crop In Australia we are once more reminded that all wheat producing cotintrlu fall of producing Urge crops for a series of years. n e believe mat tne low water mark has been reached in the price of wheat and the farmer can depend on a fair price hereafter. Qt'iTg a stir has been made In Mult nomah by finding, that divorces had been ((ranted and the decree not entered of record probably through the neglect of the attorney. A divorce is not valid until the decree is of record. Clacka mas county can furnish some cases of the same kind. It will be with regret that the loss of the Maria Teresa is noted, not for her value but as a memeuto of the Spanish war. If this vessel could have been re paired and placed in the American navy she would have been an object of pride to the blue Jackets for years to come. The sentiment created by such an object lesson can not be measured by what the vessel might accomplish. W. S. U'Rks has re I used to take pay for more than five days at the hold-up session: He eidentlyhaa found what the sentiment of the people of the state is on this question. If we remember correctly Mr.U'Ren reported at the lime of the hold-up but he hypothicated what he wa to receive as salary for an "$80 loan". We are afraid the lender will not get his security.
