Uetwcen Sheldon's preacherlsm and Howe's blasphemy, there Is but one choice. Olve us Sheldon. The dogmat lam of creed is bad enough, but the dogmatism of complete negation and unbelief is Infinitely worse. Sheldon was at least learned in his propaganda, but Howe was viciously ignorant in his. The man who arbitrarily denies the existence of things of which he cannot possibly have any certain knowledge is ju.st as irrational and Just as dogmatic as the man who, with an equal lack of knowledge, affirms the existence of the same things. And herein lies the bigotry, the inconsist ency and the intolerance of agnosti cism. The question of God, finality, Im mortality, Is as old as the thought of man, and reason is as insufficient to its answer t.Klay as it was when the Hindu dreamer - mused and suffered beneath his tree, or when the Naar tne, pierced upon his cross, sent up the wail of despair that echoed down the ages, "Father! Father: why hast tiwu forsaken me?" Let not the preo-eious editor allow a little learning to disconcert him. We have as yet picked up but the fewest grains of knowledge on the shores of infinity, and no syllogism based on them is ade quate to predicate what is or Is nut. A little science may have taught Edi tor Howe that God is not, but It has as surely and subtlely taught the Christian that God is, and, to the ra tional man, even though' he doubts, it looks as if the Christian has decid edly th-? advantage. A Washington correspondent states that the outlook is not at all favorable for legislation at the present session of congress for the construction of a Pacific cable. There is entirely too much diversify of opinion in the house regal din? this question, and the sen ate committee on naval aiTalrs has ordered a favorable report on a cable plan entirely different from any pro posed in the house. The house com mittee on interstate and foreign com merce is divided into four factions on this question. The house majority re port provides for a cable to Hawaii, the Philippines and Japan, to be built under private contract and auspices, the government for a period of twenty-five years paying ' three hundred thousand dollars annually to the com pany constructing the cable. Govern ment messages to be transmitted free of charge. A minority report, signed by four members, dissents In every respect from this proposition. A sec ond minority report, signed by three members of the committee, opposes the private ownership scheme and pro poses that the government shall build and own the cable. Another report, signed by one member, Indicates a be lief that a government cable would benefit the public and the government more than a private cable. Under the majority report the government would have absolute control of the cable to be built by private parties In war time. The senate bill, drawn by Hale of Maine, provides for a cable only to Hawaii, though It Is Intended to extend It to the Philippines later. It provides: "That to the end of establishing here after telegraph communication be tween the United States and the Phil ippine islands and Japan, under the waters of the Pacific ocean, there shall be constructed under the supervision of the secretary of the navy a submarine telegraph cable or cable and connect ing land lines from the city of Ban Francisco, Cal., to the city of Hono lulu, H. I., over such a route, as may be deemed by the secretary of the navy to be the most practicable," Three f million dollars U appropriated for this purpose; and the secretary It author ised to make additional surveys to as certain what rout li best. Naval ves sels may be used, if It be deemed best, In helping with the construction of the cable, which, after its completion. Is to be transferred to the charge of the pi.Rt master-general. The bill provide that cables, wires. Instrument and materials and appurtenances necessary In laying the cable shall be of Ameri can manufacture, provided they can be procured at a cost not exceeding 1! per cent more than they can bo obtained in foreign markets ThU bill seems the most sensible of any sug gested, and it w ould be very fortunate If both the senate and house should aRree upon It. If they do not, Ha waii for a longer period will be In com munication with the United States only by steamer, and direct and satisfac tory telegraph cable service with the Philippines will be postponed a couple of years. IS IT DEMOCRACY OR T.RYAN'? Th democrats cf the nuiuii must soon determine whither there is a democratic party, or whether there is simply a Kryan party In opposition to the republicans. If there is a demo cratic party with democratic purposes and democratic integrity, it will assert itself in the national convention, and nominate a candidate who will unite rather than disintegrate the demo cratic elements. If the once omnipo tent democratic party of the nation has degenerated Into a mere Rrynn party, whose faith is In conflict with all the achievements and tra li'lons of democratic greatness, the coming con test w ill close the career of democracy in hopeless disaster. Who desire 'the nomination of Mr. Iran as the democratic candidate for president? True, he has many enthu- j siastlc followers, as had Clay, Blaine and others to a vastly greater degree and yet failed to reach the presidency because unavailable; but the ablest democratic Journals cC tre land, and a large pruportinn of the ablest !emo- (ratio leaders with hundreds of thous ands of the more intelligent democratic following, do no: believe in Pryan, and will not support hi election. Of those who voted for him in not one- half believed in .he Chicago platform, and nf those wlw dil believe in it at that time, a large pi op. 1 1 'en of them c!o not believe in it today. The most anxious man for Mr. Pryan's nomination is Mr. Lryan him self, and the next most anxious man for his nomination is President McK!n- y. Chairman Ilanna, of the republi can national committee, Is today vastly more solicitious for the nomination of Mr. Bryan by the democrats than is Chairman Jones, of the democratic committee, although Jones Is in entire accord with Bryan's faith; and the only apprehension the republican lead ers have as to the coming contest, is the possibility that some circumstance may a rise between this and the nomi nation to make the convention reject Bryan, and nominate some candidate upon whom the democrats can unite. It should-decide thi democ rats not to nominate any candidate who is specially desired by the republicans, but there is another factor In the contest that should he even more ;srauaslve to the democratic leaders aga.nst the nomination of Bryan. Aguinuldo. the leader of ihe murderous guerrillas In the Philippines, Is today holding the broken fragments of his army together by the assurance that Mr. Bryan will be elected president of the I'n'ted States, and that the cause of the in surgents will be triumphantly main tained by the next administration of i our governB-?nt. These are stubborn facts which the democratic leaders should look In the face. If there U & democratic party they must place It above the irterest and ambition of any man Under the most favorable conditions the chances would be r.gainU democratic success with the present outlook, arid if there is to be a hopeful battle fought this year for the democracy, or a hopeful democratic party for the future, the next national convention must decide that democracy and not Bryanism, in spires the democratic people to battle for their cause and their Tag. It Is not merely a question of choosing be tween defeat and possible success, but It Is a far greater question Involving the choice between a hopeful demo cratic future and present democratic annihilation MR. HAMMOND'S OPINION. Mr. A. B. Hammond has been In terviewed concerning the local fishing situation by the Portland Telegram, which publishes the following arti cle in last night's edition: Just to what degree the cold-stor age business will cut Into the regular season's salmon pack is a matter that interests many people. The season opens April 15, but not a pound of sal Karl's Clover Root Tea lViutSi'w tl Ownli-xlttn, Puritim tli Sold by CHARLES ROGERS. mon will lie canned before May 1, un less, as before stated, the outlook Is for an unusually large pack. One thing- seems certain the can nery association will not operate very extensively, so long ns the cold stor age business will be In a position to absorb the supply. A couple of stockholders in Portland, one a director, are not backward In declaring that the outlook Is somewhat gloomy for the future of the associa tion for money-making business. A. B. Mammoml, the president of the Colum bia, River Packers Association, was seen and asked for a statement In re gard to these criticisms, lie said that he did not care to engage in news paper controversy nor to take the time to answer men, whether they were stockholders or directors, who would I not make statements over their own signatures. If they were men inough to do tha:, he would give them his at tention, not otherwise. He said, furthermore, ttut the as sieiaciun was not running Its business in ttie newspapers. In case the direc tors were taking advantage, the stock holders, he said, had their proper re course thj courts. If every uistin-gui.-hed stockholder or director would run into print, the papers, he thought, ould be kept busy publishing 's-tuff" dial interested no one except the. vic tims of iluir own pride, and Injured legitimate business. In speaking tur.her, Mr. Hammond ;ud luat the proper place for any di rector to make a 'kick" was before tae quarterly meeting of the board of .aivetors, and not to outsiders. There Here cerium ctlo-r 'gentlemen,' he saio, who needed to learn tue Hist piii.iiples of business ethics. For In -s.uiice, these men whom ne would not line to call gnilemi'n, buuuht each a oi.are of stock in the cmnoir.r, with me sole purpose of learning whut was B"ing oil. le characterised it us a cheap way of trying to learn a compe titor's business methods, fur tht pur pose of self-profit. These men, each with their cne lit .le share, he said, attended meetings and hoped to learn all about the work ings of the association. The books of the association, he said, were open for the inspection of the directors at any time. As the directors were placed In power by the stockholders, the latter should be satisfied with their choice tar enough to trust to their discretion. Some of these same competitors, he said, who went around gaining en trance to meetings by means of their little share of stock, had their eyes opened by the manner in which the association saved money to the stock holders. He thought a very humor ous picture could be made by repre senting the men referred to as hold ing out a share of stock to the door keeper of the association. Mr. Hammond repeated that he had nothing to say for publication, and refused to discuss the future move ments of the combine, It is learned, however, that the association Is ac tively prevaring to secure as much as it can of the spring pack. It will rent fishing boats on shares and pay so much a pound for salmon caught by fishermen owning their own boats and gearing. A SLAP IN THE FACE. The Dalles Chronicle. The Oregonian has done a grave wrong both to the friends of Senator iiclJiide and to those of Mr. Moody, lir. Ale-Bride's friends frankly and cjuietly conceded a solid Wasco county delegation to Mr. Moody. They mani fested no desire whatever, at any time, to thwart the wishes of Mr, Moody's friends. The latter assures the Chron icle that they made it a point to com mit no act nor deed that could be Just ly construed as unfriendly to Mr. Mc Bride. They were in no sense antag onizing the Interests of Mr. McBiide. Their single purpose was the nomina tion of Mr. Moody. The primaries passed without opposition. The Ore gonian correspondent sent to his paper a plain, truthful, unvarnished state ment of the result. The Oregonian edited the dlfcpatch and added the fol lowing clause: "The McBride Influence failed utterly to materialize." This was not In the original, which we have seen. The result is that the friends of Mr. McBride consider they have been slapped In the face. But the Ore gonian did It and is wholly responsi ble for an act that is regretted here on all hands. The Oregonian has the faculty of raising more hell In a minute than it can down in a century. .. Let it fight Mr. McBride if It wants to, but let it not compromise others who de sire peace. jviutuw th t .wnii-xittn, I'uritioi tn RInl, Ktt- n Ksh,l. irar C'iiivC'iin H tiMtMll, Llli.tltMt, IChll Mil Krtll'tlOnS ,,f I I'lt Skin, Ate JU-r.
