THE VOICE OF OREGON
UNMISTAKABLY FOR. POLITICAL
AND COMMERCIAL EXPANSION.
Significance of Last aiontlay Elec
tion, ax Commented ou Tuy the
Eastern Metropolitan Paper.
In commenting on the significance or
tho Oregon election, the Xew York Even
ing .Post of last Tuesday said:
Republicans will be fully Justified in
'pointing with pride to the result of the
Oregon election yesterdaj. The victory
for the party "was a sweeping one a
large majority for the state ticket, the
election of both Representatives In Con
gress by good majorities, and the choice
of a Legislature which will elect a Re
publican to tho United States Senate. The
contrast with the corresponding election
four years ago Is very sharp. In 1E56 one
Republican candidate for Congress had
onjy 378 plurality and the other but 63,
while if the Democrats and Populists
had combined their votes, they would .have
secured not only both scats in the House
of Representatives, but also the Judge
ship, which was at stake on the state
vote, by over 4000. This year fusion was
effected, and the result Is the over
whelming defeat of the allied forces.
."In one aspect Republican victory is
cause for hearty congratulation on the
part of all who believe In a sound cur
rency. Oregon Is a state which "was once
aadly infected with financial delusions.
Tho Republican party so far surrendered
to the sliver craze that four' years ego a
majority of its state convention voted
against putting a declaration opposing
free coinage in the platform, and adopted
Instead a 'straddle, while "one of the Re
publican candidates for Congress openly
advocated free- coinage. ThIs year the
platform, after commending the Republi
can Congress for Its passage of the gold
standard law, declared that, 'so long as
either of our great political parties advo
cates the free coinage of silver, the main
tenance of the gold standard is the mest
Important political Issue. The otter
question- which the Republicans made
prominent was that of expansion, and the
result must be jconsldered an Indorsement
of the policy of the McKlnley Admlnl
tratlon In this respect. Tho far North
west appears to favor this policy more
warmly than any other part of the coun
try, and the Republicans in the neighbor
ing State of "Washington expect to profit
by an appeal to this feeling next Fall
The probabilities now seem strong that
Bryan will not be able to carry Wash
ington again this year."
Accepting; Fruits ot Spanish "War.
Chicago Tribune.
Mr! ' Bryan's "anti-imperialism" Issue
has been fairly and.33uar.ely tested at the
Oregon jqIIs and rejected by the people.
The Republicans have carried Oregon by
decisive majorities ranging from 10,000
down. In 1SS6 the state gave President
McKinley a plurality of 2040 over Bryan.
Two years ago it elected Thomas H.
Tongue. Republican, as Congressman
from the First District by a plurality of
037 over the fusion candidate; but there
was also a i! ".l-of-thc-Road Populist
ticket which, i added to the fusion vote,
would have reduced his plurality to HO.
Congrc-nan Tongue. In this proverbially
close d. rlct. has now been re-elected by
a plurality estimated at 3000 over the com
bined opposition of Democrats and Popu
lists of all shadea Two years ago Mal
colm A. Moody, Republican, was elected
to Congress from the Second District by
a plurality of C557 over the fusion ticket,
or of 42S4 over the combined Populist and
fusion tickets. This time Mr. Moody is
sent back with a plurality over the con
solidated opposition estimated at 7000.
The -significance of the Oregon election
Ues in the fact that expansion had been
deliberately made the test issue, and that
this sweeping defeat was administered to
a complete fusion of all the elements of
Democracy and Populism In the state.
There was no other ticket except the Pro
hibitionist, which cut only a nominal fig
ure. The Issue was squarely defined, and
the answer Is emphatic and convincing.
It leaves no doubt as to how the Pacific
Coast people stand on expansion. t
On the one side were all the forces bp
posed to the present National Administra
tion and to the retention of the Philippine
Islands. On the other was the party that
believes In accepting the fruits of the
Spanish "War with ail the advantages and
responsibilities involved. The result shows
that the people of Oregon are In favor of
expansion. They believe that the destiny
of the Filipinos Is safe In American hands
and that the future of American trade de
pends largely upon our development of
tho "opportunities now opened up on the
Pacific They foresee a rapid increase In
the commerce of the Pacific Coast because
of the new ties uniting the "United States
with Asia, and they are heartily in favor
of grasping the new promise of prosperity
thus "hold out to them. It Is fair to pre
sume that the people of California and
"Washington, who possess the two great
harbors on the Pacific Coast, will express
themselves still more emphatically In fa
vor of expansion when the time comes.
The 16-to-l nonsense has gpne down In
Oregon along with the paramount Issue
of "anti-Imperialism." Both are dead as
f&r as the Pacific Coast Is concerned. Ore
gon is also a great woolgrowlng state, and
its sheepraisers and farmers have evi
dently not overlooked the fact that a
sheep Is now worth double the price that
could be got for It during the last Dem
ocratic Administration. They have taken
a more genial and more Republican view
of tho situation and have gone on record
against throwing away all they have
gained under the present Administration
and going Into the desert again.
The Democratic politicians deliberately
made "antl-Impcrlalism" a test In Oregon
In the hope of holding down or reducing
the Republican majorities. They hoped to
get campaign ammunition. Now they
have-lt though it is not of the kind they
expected. There Is no more hope for Mr.
Bryan In the MlFsl'ppl Valley than on
the Pacific Coast. The "little America"
idea has not the attraction for the peo
ple that the Democratic Issue-maker has
Imagined. The Oregon election may safe
ly be Interpreted as representing the sen-
tlment of the whole nation on the subject
of expansion.
Voice of Orceon for Expansion.
Chicago Times-Herald.
The state and Congressional election in
.Oregon confirms the general forecast con
cerning the attitude of the Pacific Coast
States toward the dominating issue of the
coming National campaign. As the cam
paign In Oregon was fought on the new
National iues that have grown out of
the war with Spain, the verdict In Oregon
miiy be regarded as a decisive Indorse
tnunt of the policies of the present Na
tional Administration.
The voice of Oregon Is for National ex
pansion, and there is little doubt that
Oregon speaks for the entire Pacific Coast.
The head of the state Republican ticket
has a majority of 10.000. and Congressmen
Moody and Tongue, the Republican Rep
resentatives, are returned by Increased
majorities. The Legislature is also snfc
ly Republican, insuring the election of a
Republican to succeed United States Sen
ator McBrldc, whose term expires next
March.
In 1S05. with the free coinage of silver
as an isuo. Oregon was regarded as ohe
of the doubtful states, but th; sound
money ticket won by the narrow plurality
of 2117. In the state and Congressional
content of 1S9S. however, the plurality for
the head .of the ticket jumped to 10.53L
'In that contest there were three candi
dates on the ticket for Coventor and four
in each Congressional district for Repre-s-entatlve.
Tongue's plurality over the
Fusion candidate was 2037, but he failed
of a- majprlty, while Moody's plurality
over the Passion candidate in his district
was C657, but his majority was only 3264
over alL This year the Populists and
Democrats effected a fusion In each dis
trict and presented a united front to their
opponents on the 'clear-cut Issue of expan
sion. "Eastern and Southern Democrats have
been clamoring for the relegation o the
silver issue to the rear. They demand
that Bryan shall drop IB to 1 and that im
perialism and trusts shall be the domi
nant Issues.
The Oregonlans have met the new Issue
of expansion, which the Bryanltes call
"Imperialism." The Pacific Coast Is glad
to drop sliver and take up an Issue that
means vastly more to the development
and commercial future of that country
than any National Issue that has been
raised in this country for a. half-century
or more.

Carl Schurz' "overwhelming majority"
of anti-imperialist? among our voters
failed to materialize at the election In
Oregon yesterday, for what may truly be
called a humming majority for all that
Mr. Schurz abhors was polled, and the
state was firmly Intrenched In the Repub
lican column. Four years, ago, in the last
Presidential campaign, Oregon gave Mc
Kinley only 2117 plurality and elected
Tongue to Congress by 63 plurality and
12111s by 378. The latest returns of yeter
day's election fix the Republican plurality
In the state at over 8000. Increase Tongue's
plurality from 63 to nearly 3000, while
Moodj (who succeeded Ellis as the Re
publican candidate) has close to 6000 votes
more than his Populist opponent.
These figures are a distinct and em
phatic triumph for the National Admin
istration, for the campaign was made
solely on National policies, except In the
local Mayoralty contest in the City of
Portland. The Agulnaldolsts had their
orators out among the people, and tons
of their literature were circulated from
the Boston headquarters. It cannot be
said, therefore, that the voters were not
roused to the Imperialistic tendencies of
the President's policies. They were. They
understood the matter thoroughly and
they have given their verdict with an
emphasis th.at should leave no doubt In
any reasonable mind of the attitude of
the people toward the Administration.
The gentleman in the "White House may
well be congratulated on the success he
has had In keeping the people with him
in all that he has done.

Tho Increased Republican majority in
Orcron l a definite indication of public
sentiment It Is not a surprise. What
ever benefits may be derived from the
expansion of trade with the Orient will
be first folt on the Pacific Coast, espe
cially In Oregon and the neighboring State
of Washington. The ports of Oregon and
Washington .will rival that of San Fran
cisco. That Northwest region has en
Joyed remarkable prosperity under the
'present Administration, and Is naturally
.grateful. In addition to the general tide
there -has been a large amount of outfit
ting for the Alaskan gold fields.
The Oregon election Is positively Indica
tive of political sentiment west of the
Rocky Mountains, where the policy of the
Administration is naturally endorsed. Ex
pansion across the Pacific will hardly be
more popular In any other section of the
country than that. Whether It will prove
equally strong In the. Central "Valley, the
South and the East remains for the future
to determine.

A Carol of the Census.
Baltimore American.
NOW the trouble all commences for the man
who takes the census. It's enough to
make him seek In dtinlc his carklng care
to drown; for he must b calm and gentle
with the slant-eyed Oriental, when. he's
alter facts and figures in the shops of
Chinatown.
AND his "lemper will b infing hot before he's
through Inquiring of the family connec
tions of the saffron-tinted Chink, who
will gaso at him In pious way, with ees
set on the bias, and will make the caller
wonder It- he has the right to think.
TES, the gentleman from China will continue
to design a spatter pattern with the blu
ing, which he splrteth through his lips;
while the poor Investigator, the hard
worked enumerator, seeks to turn his
mind, from dreaming o'er the heaping
laundry slips.
HE will ask in accents, gracious, with a smile
Troth bland and spacious; "What's your
' name?" and like a fountain, .still the
Indigo will spurt, till the Chinaman has
.finished, or the lndgo's dtmtnUhed. Then
the laundry man will murmur, Whatee
wantee? Washee shirt?"
WHAT'S your name And who's your father!"
with the slightest trace of bother, comes
the question, as tho man who Juggles
clothes begins to wipe scattered traces of
the bluing from the wash he has been
doing, ere he Innocently lifts his ejes, and
whispers: "Hlttee pipe?"
"HOW old are you? Are you married?" yells
-the "census agent harried, -while the citizen
from China In dim. wonder rubs" his neck.
Then the agent gasps In silence, thinking
all the while of vl'lence, as the answer
comes In fragments: "No get washee; no
got check."
OTHER questions he asks vainly. Interjecting
things profanely, -while the Chinaman con
tinues at his labors o'er the tub. "Do
you buy your soap on credit? David
Harum have ou read It?" But the man
from Hong Kong silently smilingly re
sumes his swishing rub.
SOON the pagan so benighted grows qulto
flustered and excited, and he splutters
through the soapsuds, at the patient cen
sus man: "No got check, you no get
wahre! Understandee? No! By goshee!"
And his fingers shake and shiver till they
quiver like a fan.
THEN the census man, declaring, with un
necessary swearing, that for all these
blanked statistics he don't give a "dash
blanked dura," leaves the place, his brow
a-mopplng. and goes swiftly, never stop
ping, till into a door that opens to a bar
room he may turn.
AND he seeks to hide his troubles 'neath the
foam that blinks and bubbles on the
liquified conooctton that comes from the
well-brewed hops. And he asks his su
pervisor, as a friend and an adviser, it
he can't transfer him to a route that has
no laundry shops.

Queen Victoria Is the only English sov

to think tho present visit la the fourth one

before King John, Henry II also stayed In
Ireland. From the time of Richard II up
to the reign -of Jame II, a period of near

that country, but after the last-named
monarch, William III went to Ireland to
stay for a yhort time. Then came George

VICTIMS OF A BOOM-TOWN
SUDDEN RISE TO -.IFFLTJEXCE 'OF

The Eagle-Faced Ffcther, the Fassy
Mother and Attractive Daagh-
ter Their Social Career.
She was the daughter of a California
farmer, an eagle-faced man, whose good
looks she inherited an olive skin, raven
black nalr, clear, flashing, hazel eyes, and
an aquiline nose, which seemed to indicate
a general sense of superiority, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. Fath
er and daughter, however, would have
been a fine puzzle to a physiognomist.
Despite their high gypsy life they were
exceedingly simple creatures, and were
ruled by a little commonplace fussy
woman, who led them about by their
eagle noses with Ignoble ease.
The farmer's wife had ideas above the
four-room frame house in which she
seemed doomed to spend her life. If she
could not rise in the world, being handl-

tle girl had to think about her com
plexion and her cloth is, and was brought
up with the idea that she was to be a
schoolteacher, as the first step In her
career. Girls of 16 taught In the rural
schools acquired thus, besides their
board, many social opportunities. But
the girl with the eagle face and flashing
eye was stupid as a cow, and again fate

of the district, and ordered Nellie to have
nothing to do with them. But there was
one who had the nerve and persistence to
come to the house several times, In face
of plain Intimation that he wasn't wanted
by the mother. He tried to get Nellie
to "go buggy riding" with him on Sun
day afternoon a proposition almost
equivalent to a nronosal of marrlBep
but the girl did not dare ask her mother's
permission or go without it. So presently
me young man, TiavSng a robust mind,
betook himself elsewhere and married and
was content. Nellie moped silently.
Then came the first swell of "the boom."
More Eastern tourists came that year
than ever, and they stayed longer. And
the simple natives made them welcome
as usual and incidentally made enough
money out of them to last over the dry
season (as usual). The tourists crowded
the city and forced prices up in the hotels
and overflowed Into the surrounding coun
try. And many of them, seduced by the
green December, the sunshine, the roses,
the strawberries growing out of doors,
bought "places." And the natives sold
gladly, and moved Into town and helped
swell the boom. The newspapers got hold
of It next, and shouted themselves hoarse
In chorus. Their columns, hitherto padded
with glittering generalities about the cli
mate and the soil now broke out in a
hectic flush of statistics. And there were
whole-page advertisements of land sales,
where again the Eastern tourist was the
gudgeon, landed by the canny native. By
this time news of the great, the unparal
leled boom, had reached the East, and
every train brought a load of specula
tors, determined to work that boom for
all It was worth. Everybody bought land
now on fcrcdlt, of course and the sub
urbs of the city were staked t out In town
lots, and white stakes went up In the sur
rounding country, where the prairie dogs
held caucuses over them and the. coyotes
sat by them and howled at night. This
sweep took In the ranch where Nellie's
father wrenched a living out of his orange
trees, and a syndicate offered him ten
times what the place was worth and
bought It so quickly that the farmer was
left gasping. He never fairly caught his
breath again during the next six months.
What he did catch was the boom fever.
The family went out of town, of course,
with the "one-fourth cash" and the prom
issory notes of the syndicate for the bal
ance, which turned out to be worth Juet
about as much as similar documents irhinVi
flooded the town namely, the value of the
waste paper. But the cash payment was
a small fortuno to them. They bought
a house (on credit), the mother and
daughter bloomed out in new clothes of
the latest style and worst possible taste,
and Uie erstwhile farmer went in heavily
for real estate. In two months he was
worth (on paper) a hundred thousand dol
lars, lie got ai the supplies he wanted
(on credit) and although a strictly tem
perate man he advanced by rapid stages
from beer to domestic claret and Import
ed champagne. His wife made desperate
efforts to establish a social footing In ths
shifting, fluid, boom-time vortex. She
and Nellie left cards right and left, on all
their neighbors and all paterfamllas's
businms acquaintance5. Those cards were
worth keeping as a souvenir of the times,
and It was Impossible to say where they
came from. They had little embossed col

who was certainly no beauty at all In her
absurd finery, was one of these. He was
completely buried in the landslide, and
rams out some five or sLx thousand dol

'representing a hundred thousand more.
His assets were the housii in town, mort
gaged for more than iUi value, and a
quantity of the "paper" of speculators like
himself, worth just As .much as his. All
this "paper"' eventually went Into the dust
heap, but the d-ebts fof lictual value re
ceived he went to work with all his might
to clear off. It was beginning again at
the foot of the ladder, with a hundred
desperate men battling with him at every
turn for a chance to make a living. But
he got on his feet somehow, and In a
few months landed In a little restaurant
outside the main railway station of tho
city, first as "manager and then half
owner of the business.
All this time his wife and daughter had
been living in two small rooms, cooking
their own precarious 'food. Nellie had

Federation Enabling Act.
Baltimore Sun.
The form of agreement effected between
the British Government and the Austra
lian delegates In regard to the preaervn
tlon In the Australian Constitution of the
right of appeal to tlw Privy Council ends
a difference which embarrassed the pas
sage of the federation enabling act. The
act of union, as framed In Australia for
the Government in London td accept un
changed, restricted leverely the right of
appeal from the Supreme Court in Aus
tralia and thus tended to reduce the tie
between the mother country and the col
onics to small proportions. It enabled the
new Commonwealth to decide questions
that affected the foreign relations of the
Empire, whllo denying the Jurisdiction of
the Empire. England might thus
be involved in war with a for
eign power over matters as to
which she might think the colonies
in the wrong. The right of English In
vestors to appeal against decisions of the
Australian courts was also imperiled if
not destroyed The validity of acts of the
London Parliament In respect to matters
affecting the entire Empire for example,
the foreign enlistment act was called Into
doubt. The amendments Just adopted re
move these objections. The supremacy of
imperial legislation is conceded. Questions
affecting the relations of the Australian
colonies to each other, and their relations
to the federal government, are not to be
appealed to London, except with
the consent of both parties. In
all other cases thei right of ap
peal to the Privy Council remains
unimpaired. When any Interest, public or
private, other than an exclusively Austra
lian Interest, Is concerned, the right of
appeal will remain as It Is. At present
the colonies have the power to restrict by
legislation appeals to London. 3UbJ;ot to
the right of the Crown to disallow such
legislation. As respects the new Common
wealth. It may legislate to further restrict
appeals, but such restriction must be sanc
tioned by the Crown to be valid. As fin
ally settled the text of the Australian Con
stitution Is a compromise agreeable to all
concerned, with the exception that two
out of six colonies wished the right of
appeal to be less restricted than it Is.
An Instructive Contrast.
New York Evening Sun.
The members of the new Philippine Com
mission have signalized their arrival in the
islands by making a declaration with re
gard to the policy which they are to pur
sue In giving our e'crn possessions a
settled form of government. The gist of
Judge Taft's statement Is contained in the
following passage, which is notable not
only for its .specific Information 'but for its
tone. He cays: "Representing the sov
ereignty of the Unltca States, which it Is
the purpose of our Government to main
tain, we arc here to do Justice to the
Philippine people and to secure for them
the best government in our power and such
measure of popular control as will be con
sistent with stability and the security of
law, order and property. We are
civil officers. We are men of peace.
The field of our work must be
confined to the regions where the armed
enemy have ceased operations. We cannot
deal with men in arms. They will be dealt
with by the army and the General com
manding. When those now in arms shall
lay down their weapons, relying, as they
certainly may, on the Justice, generosity
and clemency of the United States, we
shall give them as full a hearing upon the
policy to be pursued and the forms to be
begun as we will give to any having an
interest in the matter."
On the one hand stands the United States
ready to give liberty, settled conditions,
and orderly government such as the people
out there have never known. On the other
are Agulnaldo and his followers and their
mistaken supporters in this country. Is
there any doubt for reasonable thinking
men as to the direction In which prosperity
and contentment are to be sought?
GOOD CRICKET MATCH.
British Sailers Beatea by Maltaomaa
Testa.
In a close and Interesting match of
cricket Saturday the Multnomah Club
team defeated an eleven picked from the
British ships Lizzie Bell. Plnmore, Gal
gate and Wendur, by a score of 69 to 46.
Young, of the British crew, Is a splendid
batsman, and Barr and Sprott excellent
bowlers. For Multnomah, Pattullo and
Gllman were in fine form, and beat the
Englishmen off their own bat, and only
the fino bowling of Captain Astbury and
quick, sharp fielding by the rest of the
Britishers kept the score as close as it
was. Gavin made a sensational onc
handed catch, assisting Astbury to cap
ture three wickets m three succesalve
balls doing the "hat trick" very neatly.
The British team is anxiously looking
forward to a return match.

"Welcome to Mr. Hearst.
Chicago Journal.
The Journal begs to present to its read
ers a piece of news of first-rate impor
tance. It is that Mr. William Randolph
Hearst, whose newspaper undertakings
In New York and San Francisco have
been successful and Interesting, Is about
to establish a paper In this city. We
learn on what seems to be good authority
namely, persons connected with the Chi
cago Record that Mr. Hearst has leased
a building in Madison street, between
Fifth avenue and Franklyn street, where
he has caused to be dug what are techni
cally known as "pits" for presses, said
presses to be three In number and sex
tuple In description: that Is to say. hav
ing the capacity of six single machine
Mr. Hearst intends, we are informed by
these veracious observers, to publish per
manently an evening newspaper with a
Sunday morning edition. He may print
a morning paper during the Presidential
canvass, but not after the election. His
paper will support Mr. Bryan's candidacy.
We do not know what he intends to
call his paper. Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat thinks
It will be called the Examiner. We are
told by a less conservative and trust
worthy authority, Mr. R. W. Patterson,
that Mr. Hearst has purchased the Jour
nal, but this Is not believed by the own
ers of the Journal. Mr. Patterson strenu
ously denies that Mr. Hearst has bought
the Tribune.
This Is all we know about the new en
terprise, and we present it to our readera
as a piece of news that they are entitled
to enjoy.
American. Builders of Foreisrn Ships.
New Tork Herald.
The performance of the Russian cruiser
Varlag. built at Cramps establishment,
proved even In the preliminary or build
er's trial that no other nation surpassed
us In warship construction. The high
speed, tho great horsepower and the
structural strength shown are a tribute
alike to American ingenuity and to the
patriotism that made such progress pos
sible. When the acceptance trial Is undertak
en In July the world will see an Amer-Ican-bullt
ship assume a task never before
Imposed. Under natural draught, -for 1J
hours, on the high sea, the "Varlag must
develop and maintain a speed of 23 knots,
and during this period her boilers may
.not be cleaned, nor may her engines be
repaired, altered or changed In any way.
Four other ships of the Varlag type are
under construction, one in Germany and
three In Russia, but none of these Is ex
pected to try for the same goal undet
the rigorous conditions set lor us. Tho
promised success Is. therefore, a matter
of National, even of International, con
gratulation, .and, though the discrimina
tion Js puzzling, we have really to- thank
the Russian technical corps for the tip It
has given the world that this, after all.
is the place to design, to build and run
ships.
The St. Lonls Strike.
New York Herald.
The destruction and murder wrought by
the St. Louis strikes grow daily more
appalling. The mob, now reckless In its
lawlessness, is using dynamite to blow
up tracks, grossly beating men passen
gers and grossly Insulting women. While
there may bo question as to the expedi
ency of continuing the franchise of a
road which cannot manage Its affairs
without demoralization to the business
of the city and danger to the lives of Its'
citizens, it is obviously tne first duty of
the authorities to put down the disorderly
mob with an iron hand, invoking the mil
itia, as was recently done here, when
things were at crisis in Westchester.
The numerous strikes throughout the
country are assuming such serious pro
portions that It Is time for the states to
Insist upon -compulsory arbitration as a
preventive,
"Wheat Looking- Better.
M'MINNVIL.L.E, June 10. Farmers of
this county have been feeling somewhat
discouraged because of the unhealthy ap
pearance of Fall wheat. The late cold
Spring rains caused It to turn yellow, and
some fine fields looked almost worthless.
But the warm sunshine of the few days
past has brought back a healthy hue and
farmers are feeling encouraged, as they
believe they will have a fine croy.
