JfECESSITY OF ORGANIZATION.
The Republican papers throughout the
state, when they have nothing else to do,
indulge in congratulating the party upon
the overwhelming victory which it will
secure, both at the state election next
Jane and in the one to follow in Novem
ber. This pastime is certainly pleasant,
and from every indication such joyous
prophecies are justified ; but there is
danger of causing the belief in an easy
triumph to become so prevalent among
both workers and voters that the eternal
-vigilance and ceaselesb effort, which are
the price both of liberty and success,
may be relaxed. It is true that never
did the Republican party of Oregon en
ter into a contest with better prospects
of complete success. Its strength is not
impaired by the warring of factions ;
' its policies clean and commendable to
the great mass of voters within the
party organization.. The power of the
losses, which in the past has been like
a millstone around its neck, has been
broken, and in all parts of the state
there is a disposition among t he common
x people as distinguished from the pro
fessional politicians to come to the
front and have an influence in deter
mining events.
Notwithstanding these satisfactory con-
--ditions, in nowise should the work of
carrying on a vigorous campaign be re
laxed. History has "proven time and
again that too great a confidence begets
indifference, and indifference opens the
way to possible defeat. In every county
in the state the Republicans should be
alert and preparing themselves for a
contest as though the result were one of
doubt. The state campaign can be
called fairly opened. But a short time
remains before the holding of the nom
inating conventions, and this period is
the proper one in which the work of or
ganization should be done. The recent,
state convention of clubs has shown
"how important factors these organiza
tions will be in the campaign, and the
Republicans in every county precinct
should form themselves into political
agencies of this sort. In no way can
interest be , better stimulated and the
work of education in the political needs
of the state and nation be carried on
The call to battle has been sounded,
and the answer should come strong and
clear from every portion of the state.
Oregon leads the way. Let the signal
be a bright, one.
CUBAN BELLIGERENTS.
Spain is not a little disturbed by the
congressional talk concerning the pro
posed recognition of the Cuban insur
gents as belligerents, and cites her own
action at the time the United States
was struggling against southern insur
gents. At the time referred to England
and France united in recognizing the
southern confederacy as belligerents,
thus conferring the equal right to sup
plies and hospitality and giving advan
tages which were greatly appreciated in
the South and equally deplored in the
2forth. Just why Spain refrained, we
are not prepared to say ; but the condi
tions are very unlike those existing in
the case of our trouble m 1S61-5. Then
the belligerents were avowedly seeking
to establish an empire or republic hav
"Injr, for its chief corner-stone the system
of slavery which all the nations ad
vanced in civilization had thereto abol
ished. In the present case of the Cubans the
belligerents haye long and successfully
fought against an imperialism which, as
to Cuba, is the next thing to slavery,
for the avowed purpose of establishing a
free republic similar to our own. Spain
was just to the United States in May,
1861, when England and France were
mostnnjust; but that is no reason why
the United States should now be unjust
to the Cuban insurgents. The southern
states were clearly not entitled to recog
nition at the hands of England or France
in 1861.
From the standpoint of a free Ameri
can republic, the leading nation in the
Western Hemisphere, the Cubans are
entitled to be recognized as belligerents.
Should the recognition be extended, it
would be from no hostility to Spain and
from no want of appreciation of her ac
tion in 1861. But our action would
stand upon an equality with her's.
From tho next campaign will be
missed the Democratic cry of "Too
much surplus!" Such complaint has
been effectually silenced by the work
ings of the Wilson bill. The Cleveland
administration has proved as capable in
creating a - deficit as the Republicans
were in building up a surplus. No bet
ter campaign argument is needed for the
Republican party than a comparison of
the figures showing the condition of the
treasury at the close of Harrison's term
and at present. The eloquence of Dem
ocratic oratory cannot avail against
them.
Look out for Otto Birgfel&'s adver
tisement, which, is to appear in this
space tomorrow.
When pu .mm to bay
Mr. Leasure'8 declaration that he
opposed to the free and unlimited coiu
age of silver in Sunday's Oregonian, is
admirable for its clearness, fairness and
candor. The other politicians of the
state would do well to follow his ex
ample in defining their position. Sup
pose our senators and representatives in
congress follow his example.
