Spaix maintained with her lost col
onies subsidized steamship lines which
in the nature of things will be discon
tinued shortly. If the United States
is to take any considerable part in ths
business of the merchant marine of the
world she must begin at once as the
paths of commerce are being extended
to the uttermost corners of the earth and
when once established, trade Is hard to
divert. II America does not step in and
control the carrying trade of these
islands, England, France and Germany
will. These latter countries subsidize
their steamship lines and the only way
to pot capital in the merchant marine of
this country is to make the same en
couragement to it as European countries
do. To secure the trade of these islands
i to advance the outposts of our trade
and commerce hundreds of miles in the
West Indies and make it that much
easier to get the lion's share of the trade
of South America while in the Pacific we
ar j placed at the very door of tbe richest
commercial prize on the face of the earth.
If e do not take advantage of our op
pertnnities we will lose what cannot be
gained in years. It is time that Ameri
ca's commerce is carried in American
ships. The subsidies granted by foreign
nations are made np in part at least by a
tonnage tax on all foreign vessels enter
ing their ports. In the United States
this tax is very light and our ports are
practically free although we expend
immense sums in improving our harbors,
establishing lighthouses etc. Tbe sec
retary of the treasury recommends that
this country profit by the experience of
others and that congress enact such
measn-ies as will place us on a plane in
the shipping world as our importance as
a nation entitles us to.
Tub inspctor-general of army recom
mends strongly periodical military man
euvers and experimental mobilization.
This undoubtedly should be done as it
would give training such as wonld avoid
most of tbe difficulties experienced in
tbe camps by tbe troops during the late
war. Training is the only way these
difficulties can be met.
Vkbt and Hoar oppose expansion by
the United States because their const i
ments get no direct benefit. If tbe
Ptiilippines were on the Atlantic Hoar
would not object neither would Vest if
his state got some of tbe immediate
benefits. Neither of them seem to be
able to see tbe great possibilities for this
jntry in getting to tbe doorway of tbe
ental trade.
ipain in ber bitterness had to file a
protest at being forced to tbe treaty of
peace at Paris. She ia especially bitter
at tbe mention of tbe destruction of the
Maine by tbe president in bis message. ,
Dain knOWl aS Weil a8 America matt

Bpanish subjects at least had a hand ia
he destruction of the Maine.
No IvIhiiio can be attacked to Colonel
doesn't want to go Cuba, or to I'orio
Kioo, or to the ritillppines, with the
army of occupation. Tim war is over,
and no active military servloo ia
seen. Colonel llrvan ran do bet I
leave the army, ami lecture on Ilia own
heroism, with incidental praises of six-
' teen to-one, and remark on the crown

Is the death of Judge Wait Oregon liua
lost one of the earliest pioneer. He
took an ne'ive part in the development
of the Mute and especially Clackatna
county where lie took an active part in
the early development of Oregon City.
He will be miaecd by the pioneer who
are getting fewer a the year roll round
Cosokkssm.vn ToMii'K Iras been before
the committee on rivrr and harbors to
got an appropriation for' the purpose of
purchasing the locks at I hi place.
This would be of great importance to
the Willamette valley and every citizen
is interested in seeing it done.
Tits democrats are getting technical
and are going to object to members ot
congress who accepted potation in the
army from taking their seat. They
will gain nothing by taking a course of
this kind.
II !
Gen. Garcia is dead and in his death
Cuba loses one ot her best sons. No
man did more to free Cuba and no name
will be more revered by Free Cuba than
that o! Garcia. His whole life was
spent in fighting Spain
Gen. Lee's return to Havana as its
military governor will bo very bitter to
the Spanish of that city. Gen. Lee did
good work in Cuba and is entitled to all
the honor this government can give him
in Cuba.
Tub present cold snap of ten days has
nearly broken the record for severity of
the weather and length of time it stays
with us. It would be considered warm
in the East at 15 to 23 degrees above
zero.
Typhoid has taken another one of tbe
boys at Manila. Corporal H. G. Hib-
bard was one of the leading young menl
of Marion county and would have gradu
ated from Willamette University next
June.
Civil service rules are being enforced
in the collector customs office and the
office of collector of internal revenue
with tbe result that John Mintoloet bis
place.
Tub silver men of congress are going
to oppose any currency reform legisla
tion and perhaps this is well, as it will
as much as one thing kill what little
following this mongrel crowd have.
Tub Press man is feeling very bady
this week. He even objects to our walk
ing the streets.
Pleasant Dream..
It does not lie in the painter's fancy to
imagine a prettier picture than that of a
yonne girl, with lips luscioua with the
promise of love, half parted in tbe smiles
of happy dreamland. Tbe mind of happy
maidenhood ia a clear and polished mirror,
which, when tbe wits go wandering into tbe
ghostland of dreams, reflects tbe impres
sions of waking hours. If those impres
sions are pleasant and painless and happy,
she will smile in ber aleep. if the impres
sions are those of a suffering woman, tor
tured witb tbe special ailments to which
tbe feminine organism is liable, the picture
ia spoiled by the lines of suffering and de
spondency. Maladies of thia nature unfit a
woman for joyous maidenhood and for cs
pable motherhood. They incapacitate her
to bear tbe burdens of life in any sphere
of action. Household, marital and social
duties alike are a burden to the woman who
ia constantly suffering from headaches,
backaches, dragging sensations and weak
ening drains. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription - positively, completely, unfail
ingly cures troubles of this nature. It
imparts health, strength, vigor to the dis
tinctly womanly organ. It fits for care
free, healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood
and capable motherhood.
