BY WAY OF SOLUTION.
The order recently promulgated hy
the War Department. uVjat."hins ail
the colored troops in the service to the
Philippines for duty was a vie and
wholesome thing. The sling is thus
drawn from the situation proving out
of the Brownsville affair and the sub
sequent disi harsre of the three battal
ions of colored infuUry on the score
of that outraee: the teeth of the For-
aker snarl are dulled hy the transac
lion, and the tro :s themselves are
sent where thty will dn the most good,
because they are in tik- uu a wider
range of duties than have fallen to
their lot in the peaceful conftr.es of
Texas; they are better equipped thai;
the whites for the country and its ex
actions In the way of heat, etc.. and
they have before them an opportunity
to wipe out the onus thrust on them
by their fellows at home. It is their
turn to do duty abroad, anyway, and
the whole thing falls admirably in the
re-adjustment of an ugly and discred
itable condition. Of course, it will be
In order for the snarlers to yap at
the heels of the President, for coun
tenancing such an order at such a time,
but the Brownsville affair is about
wearing out the patience of the people
and this solution of the disagreeable
Incident is gratifying to all concerned,
and the public is as much concerned
as anyone else. It is on a par with
Mr. Roosevelt's ready and sensible dis
position of such thing", and the yap
ping of his enemies will have about as
much effect as it has ever had on his
status, simply to make it the sounder
and more stable in every way.

themselves, are f-iteinn the attainment
of this till! g. as no other power on
earth could force it. and it is in pel -
feet harmony with the essential laws
or equity that the opening rf the liver
and the deepening of the bar. should
be ivalued through the sheer, com
polling agency of their opposition. The
rule of aggression has always been to
the over-doing of it. with the poetic
reaction of defeat fast following; and
the lesson Is about to be repeated In
this state, we hope. So far as Astoria
Is concerned, we would be glad to see
the upper river, and the lower river,
so wldV, and deep1, and clear, anil
usable, that the question of its bar
would be forever settled in the Inter
ests of a magnificent water commerce
quite beyond the further Interference
of the railway ovtopus. An open riv
er and an Impassable bar are as hard
to accept as a forty-foot bar with a
closed river behind It, and the Im
provement of both, to the fullest use
of both, is the pre-eminent hope and
doctrine of Oregon's development.

YEAR OF GREAT ISSUES.
From all indications, the year 190
Is to be a period of big and vital is
sues In the United States. There is
enough on foot at present to make
It conspicuous in this line, with
promise of Infinitely more problems
underway. The railway, Industrial and
commercial questions pending for set
tlement at the hands of the govern
ment and people, are huger than ever
In the history of the country, and
cover a wider range of interest and
of participants, and are grave enough
in all conscience, to invite the deepest
concern everywhere. The Rate law,
the Pure Food law, the application of
the Sherman law in Its broadest sense,
the great strikes, the political depar
tures and frlctional results, all over
the country, leave no room for quiet
prospect whatever. But there never
was a time in the course of American
history when the adjudication of these
close-lying and dubious points were in
need of such critical and far-reaching
treatment; and the President and the
people may be trusted to cover the
ground in time and do the fair thing,
great as Is the task.

Often ii person is sized up by his appear

more often a business house is sized up by
the stationary it uses. A cheap letter

poor first impression and makes business
harder to transact. Good printing costs no
more than poor printing. The first im
pression is half the battle in business.
