JL LESSON TO BE LEARNED.
Senator Davis' speech upon the Mon
roe doctrine comes a little late to bave
much effect in - moulding public opinion
to a clear conception of -what thia famous
declaration is. .Since President Cleve
land's patriotic message there ltaa been
but little confusion in the minds of the
American people regarding the intents
and purposes of Monroe's famous state
ment. Every school boy in the land
knows that by it notice is given to Euro
pean nations to keep hands off the
American continent, and that should
this warning be disregarded, the force of
the United States would be brought to
the enforcement of the declaration. The
speech of the Minnesota senator will,
however, be of eervice in showing the
entire application of the doctrine to the
present Venezuelan dispme, and that
the exigencies of the situation warrant
the steps which our national govern
ment has taken.
The understanding in this country re
garding the Monroe doctrine being com
plete, it is equally so across the ocean.
England, wnich. at first resented the
American-assumption that the United
States had any right to interfere in any
'complication to which it was not a di
rect party, has adopted an entire change
of front, and upon all sides, in public
and private speeches, through the press,
and even in the utterances of Lord Salis
bury, the head of the English govern
ment, are heard expressions favorable to
arbitration a mode of settlement which
at first was deemed inconsistent with
England's dignity. The change of atti
tude upon the part of Great Britain is
not dne to any belief in the justice of
our position, but because any thought
of war with America is impossible,
owing to the grave complications that
exist in Europe. England, without a
friend among the continental nations,
could ill afford to concentrate her mili
tary and naval attention upon the New
World, leaving to Russia, Germany and
Prance the prizes of the old.
The United States has escaped luckily
from what might have been a serious
affair. The American people should not
fail to learn a lesson that has long been
needed. History has proven over and
over again that peace is best preserved
by perfect military equipment. Other
complications will come up, which may
sot be settled as easily as the present
one promises to be. The European
countries fully understand our utterly
defenseless condition, and should the
occasion arise, they would hasten to
take advantage of it. A warning has
been given, for which the country
should be thankful and not delay to ac
cept. It is foolish for the jingoists to
talk war while onr army and navy are
in their present condition ; and yet no
man can tell when war may be neces
sary. It is the patriotic duty of con
gress to take immediate steps for the
better equipment of our army and navy.
To Western people it is a pleasing re
. flection that a Northwestern senator
Squire of Washington is among the
leaders in this necessary movement.
Walla Walla is considering the ques
tion of purchasing a chemical engine for
rise in the city fire department. Dis
tinct advantages are claimed for the
. chemical engine over those of the steam
kind. The purchase price is but half as
great, while the cost of operating is
trifling in comparison to the expense of
a steam engine. A similar proposition
has been made to the citizens of The
Dalles, which is worth considering. If
it is decided to purchase the chemical
engine, we are in favor of the expense
being borne by those who, it is claimed,
will be benefited by the reduction in in
surance rates, which" has been promised
by the insurance companies. If the
figures cited by the advocates of the
plan are correct, the proposition would
be an economical one to the people
whose property is insured. No extra
demands should be made upon the city
treasury till a greater reduction has
been made in the citv debt.
While the people of the East are
shivering with the thermometer below
aero, Oregon is basking in a burst of
sunlight. The usual remarks about our
climate are now in order.
Portland ia having-ahblhTerturnover
in local, politics. Mayor Frank called
upon the 'chairman of the board of fire
commissioners, and after hearing a re
fusal to stand in, promptly removed the
three members of the board. As a "re
form" candidate Mayor Frank is hardly
proving the glittering success his friends
anticipated.
The . discovery of photography by
cathode rays, both in its scientific in
terest and practical benefits,: ranks
among the achievments of the age.
Seemingly nothing ia now unattainable.
A SUROEON'S KNIFE
gives yens a feeling of horror and dread.

MOTHERS
and those soon to be
come mothers,
should know that Dr.
Pierce's Favorite
Prescription robs
childbirth of its tor
tures, terrors and
dangers to both
mother and child, by
aiding nature in preparing-
the system
for parturition.
Thereby "labor"
and the period of
confinement are
greatly shortened. It also promotes the
secretion of an abundance of nourishment
for the child.
Mrs. DoRt A. GrjTHRrR, of Oakley, Overton Co.,
7enn., writes : When I began taking Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I was not able to
stand on my feet without suffering almost death.
Now I do all my housework, washing, cooking.
Be wing and everything for my family of eight. I
am stouter now than I have been in six years.
Your Favorite Prescription is the best to take
before confinement, or at least it proved so with
me. I never suffered so little with any of my
children as I did with my last."
