INDEPENDENCE.. OF CUBA.
Recent events demonstrate
that the Cubans are not main
taining simply 4 guerrilla war
fare, but are pursuing an- organ
ized, regular and systematic cam
paign. They are doing every
thing possible to deserve recogni
tion from the powers as belliger
ents. When the United States
government formally " rec&gnizes
the Cuban republic, the success
of the revolution will be assured.
Spain is bending every effort to
retain control of the ' island, but
she realizes in this conflict that
her cower has been wasting and
waning.
There are PTave doubts as to
the advisability of this govern
ment annexing Cuba, but the
sympathies of the. people of this
nation are with the Cuban
patriots and there is practically
but one sentiment in regard to
the matter of their being red
nized ks citizens "of an , indepen
dent government. . There, is no
fixed period in the growth of
revolution under the law of na
tions when the revolutionists are
entitled to be treated as belliger
ents and not as rebels. The
matter seems to rest wholly with
the various nations, according to
their several and indi vidual views
and ideas. The United" States
has at this time a perfect right
to treat with Cuba as a free and
independent nation. Spain, her
self, has furnished a precedent
in her recognition of the south
ern states as belligerents, during
their rebellion against the red,
white and blue. !
It is but natural that the
citizens of the United States
should so deeply sympathize with
'the people'of Cuba in their en
deavors to rid themselves of the
Spanish yoke. The spirit of ly6
is still strong in the American
heart and thrills responsive to
the ca-1 of a brave people, strug
gling amid , like difficulties and
against like oppressions:
BiNGER HermXnn, according
to his wont, is visiting the va
rious sections of his district ac
quainting himself with the va
rious requirements of the people
he represents. Mr. Hermann has
an enviable reputation as a tire
less and effective worker in be
half of his constituents and earns
and deserves the popularity he
enjoys. Mr. Hermann firmly
"believes that the Willamette river
can and ought to be made navi
gable as far up as Eugene. He
is going to use every effort to
secure sufficient appropriations
for the purpose, and from his
influence with the river and har
bor committee he will doubtless
be successful. This will mean
much to the people of the valley.
He understands that this matter
effects most directly more of his
constituents than any thing else
he will be called upon to look
after in his capacity as represen
tative, and he will give it his at
tention accordingly.
J,665
The" idea, however, is it purely
patriotic one. and will be carried
out with or without the aid and
cooperation of the state press in
general. "
"Newspapers are not' supposed
to be merely mercenary advertis-i
irig circulars. 3 They owe it to
themselves and their "patrons to
give an occasional exhibition of
unselfish enthusiasm for worthy
ojects. It is easier to be cyni
cal, but enthusiasm is more interesting.
CENSUS FOR X895.
Assessor Alexander yesterday
turned over to the county clerk his
census, retrtrns. of the, state of Or
egon for 1895. The figures com
plete are as folloTs: .

In comparison of population of
Benton with the census figures of
1S30, what was then Benton gave
a total population of 8,250.
Lincoln county haa now a total pop
ulation of 3,325, which added to
Benton's 6,292, give a total of 9,
617. This makes a gain for the
two counties in five years of 1,367,
"or 16$ per cent.
AT THJt THSATRB.
Owing to numerous other attractions, the
Pay ton Comedy Company did not receive
the patronage they justly deserved during
their . .second visit to our ' city, last week.
The most successful bill of the engagement
was the strangely novel drama "Trilby,"
which is just now having such a run in all
the large cities of the United States. "Jack
o' Diamonds" held the boards SatmrW
night, and the following evening "Falsely
Accused" wai presented. The success of
these performances was mainly attributable
to the work of Miss Lucy Payton and Messrs.
Sentor Fnyton and F. C. Molyneaux. Mr.
Payton achieves a new claim to popular and
critical applause with each appearance. Of
all the actors who have appeared in this city
of late, there is none from whom an intelli
gently conceived and nicely finished perfor
mance can be more confidently expected.
There is always an approximate certainty
that from him at any rate will come some
new gratification and delight to the theatre
goer. "We commend his company to the
amusement-loving people of sister cities.

Mr. Dodd and the rest of the
'testimonial" . committee are
really not designing: the over
throw of the government They
are not secretly conspiring for
the accomplishment 01 some
untoward purpose. It must be
gently insisted upon that they
are not at all malevolently in
clined, but are as mild-mannered
and soft-hearted as can be desired.
Neither is the idea of bestowing
the proposed gift upon the naval
namesake of our state, vicious
nor . particularly ill-conceived.
The motives are patriotic. There
are good precedents for the move
ment. Everything is to be vol
untary there will be no "hold
ups," no coercion.
Some of the state papers, how
ever, seem to regard the move
ment as a very sinister one.
They apparently fear that there
is a stinger at the business end
and are either hotly abusive or
coldly critical. They fail to give
any reason for their hostility,
leaving the committee no oppor
tunity to explain or refute. It
expects to be at practically no
expense, and will have no money
for advertising, so, of course,
there is "nothing in it," for the
papers from a selfish standpoint.
COHEGE SQUIDS.
New students are continually coming in.
A number of professors have attended the
fair at Salem.
Thus far the classes have not been divided
for the purpose of pursuing the usual liter
ary course.
The entertainment held in the college
chapel last Friday evening, was in every re
spect a complete success.
The many colored flags of the signal sta
tions have not yet been unfolded to the
breeze; as a result, fair weather still con
tinuos.
The Eecond year agricultural boys will
have six months of blacksmithing this year
They have not been accorded this privilege
heretofore. ,
The instruments for the second year
mechanical drawing class have not arrived,
consequently there is quite a number of-
studants without employment in that line.
Material from various departments of
the O. A. C. was taken to Portland this
week, to be exhibited during the North
Pacific Industrial Exposition now being
hold there.
The Eugene football team is anxious, to
meet the O. A. C. boys on the 26th inst.
She will pay' expenses and give one-fourth'
gate receipts. At last accounts no definite
arrangements had been made. .
Lieut. Dentler is giving all the officers a
course of lectures, with the object of in
suring uniformity in the movements of the
battalion. In our present conditions, with
four well-officered companies, there is no
reason why we should not be the best drilled
cadets in the state. '.
Tuesday morning the "great book" at the
O. A. C. showed an enrollment of 308 stu
dents. When the winter term begins, there
will be another increase, and then we will
show nearly 400. This speaks well for our
institution, which is yearly becoming more
widely known, and which is now one
of the leading colleges of the northwest.
PHILOMATH ITEMS.
Mr. James Sheak and family moved out
of town Monday.
The new flour mill is rushing business in
order to supply the demand as fully as pos
sible. ' "
About fifty or seventy-five Japanese haveJ
been at work in and about town for the last
few days. Of course their labors have been
confined to the railroad, and the appearance
of the track is very much improved.
Huge bales of hops are to be seen on our
streets nowadays. These bales are pleasing
to the eye, for they mean that money is
really in existence and that we poor Wcbfeet
are to have at least a part of our share.
It is remarkable how interested the people
have become in elocution. Even the learned
professors are learning to gesticulate in the
most graceful and amusing way. Still a per
son who is unable to speak in public is con
sidered poorly educated.
We had a train-wreck on a small scale on
Monday of this week. .'While making a fly
ing switch, the engine of the worktrain ran
violently back into a flat car, throwing the
car into the air and smashing in the water
tank at the roar of the tender. - The flat car
was thrown off the track, but not seriously
damaged. Nobody was injured so far as we
have been able td learn.
