WHY MCKINLEY IS POPULAR.
If the National Republican conven
tion were to be held tomorrow it ia more
than likely that McKinley would be the
nominee. Throughout the country
there ia an underlying feeling more
forcibly expressed id some places than
others, but found nevertheless in all
localities where the people are an intel
ligent, thinking class that the events
tF ' the last three years have eet the
mark of commendation upon the course
of the Ohio statesman with deeper im
pression than upon the other capable
men of whose abilities and patriotism
the party is proud to boast. In the
West, where the removal of the duty on
wool has caused especial distress ; in the
middlo states, where the farmers are
suffering from lessened prices because
the markets for their - products have
been curtailed ; and in the South, where
the outlook for a great growth of manu
facturing interests, under the workings
. of a Republican tariff bill, are bright,
the sentiment is Btrong for McKinley.
In the New England 6tates, where local
pride is strong and prejudice against
the West not yet extinguished, Reed of
Maine is in the lead, and has the support-of
those' states where the favorite
eon dodge has not been worked so suc
cessfully as in Pennsylvania and New
York.
The popular feeling for McKinley is
easily explained his name is linked
with the policy of protection. Although
a man of broad views and capable of
mastering the problems that the ques
tions of the day present, he has labored
with the one end. in view of bettering
the American laborer, protecting the in
dustries of the United States, and pro
viding a sufficient revenue for the carry
ing on of the government, now so lam
entably lacking. The soldierly qualities
of McKinley, his spotless record as gov
ernor of a great 'state, his views and
actions on other great topics, are all
lost sight of for the instant, when the
fact ia stated that he stands as the rep
resentative and champion of the protec
tive system.
The Republican party will go into the
next campaign with the issue of protec
tion in the foreground. Upon this, as
iral 1 a a rttrtoi mmafinna tViA narlw nrill
be united. The Republicans have made
their. . declaration in favor of sound
money, the writhings of Dubois, Teller,
Jones, Stewart, and others of the sena
tors who are determined for silver first,
the country afterward, proving that
they are no longer Republicans in accord
with the universal sentiment of the
party.
The enactment of a tariff measure
which shall revive the stricken indus-
tries of the land, is the desideratum of
the American people, and it is McKin
ley's championship of this policy that
gives him popular prestige. It may be
that when the convention meets Reed
or Allison will be nominated, and either
selection will make little difference In
the vote cast. The people are eager for
a return to the days of protection, and
the man who is nominated will stand
squarely upon such a platform.
Wasco county can issue a bulletin to
the world that by fortune she is well
favored. Upon our fertile fields the
farmers are busy turning the sod and
putting in the seed for a large harvest.
The stock upon our "thousand hills"
have suffered nothing from the winter;
a good growth of grass is assured; the
weather for fruit has been all that the
growers could desire. In The Dalles the
merchants are laying plans for a busy
season.- i New buildings are going up,
which represent an outlay of many
thousands of dollars. Bet bettej than
. all these signs of material prosperity is
the faith and confidence which the peo
ple have in the future of our city. The
men who are increasing their invest
ments have seen The Dalles under vari
ous conditions and deliberate judgment
has told them that this ia the place in
tended by nature and determined by
man to be the metropolis of Eastern
Oregon. The town could have no better
advertisement than the faith, of its citi
zens. ' "
The Spaniards in Cuba have been so
busy doctoring the returns that they
have had no time to put an end to the
insurrection. A counting up shows a
deficiency of 15,000 men and the author
ities in Madrid are wondering where
they are. This desciepancy explains
many of the victorious dispatches which
the Spanish generals have been sending
out and strengthen the belief that the
Cubans are mating a progress that jus
tifies a behalf in their ultimate victory.
The day of foreign domination over the
islands and continents of the Western
Hemisphere is past, and the freedom of
Cuba is the logical sequence towards
which the great events of the Nineteenth
century have tended. '
The people of Eastern Oregon are in
earnest regarding the completion of the
leeks. No unnecessary delays will be
brooked. It was the intention of the
national: government that the last ap
propriation should be sufficient to make
the locks ready for the continuous pas
sage of boats. ' The suggestion that a
board of engineers be appointed by t' e
secretary of war to make a practical test
of the workings at the locks and see
whether or not their continuous opera
tion is impracticable, is a good one. It
is but little wonder that the people have
misgivings rrgRtding the good faith of
those who have had the matter in
charge ;
' Astoria and The Dalles will work
hand in hand for the opening of the
river. The prompt action of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce upon the memo
rial to congress will be gratefully re
ceived by the ' people of imprisoned'
Eastern Oregon.
. Senator Dubois declares that the tariff
bill shall not pass the senate until the
wishes of the silver men are acceded to.
Dubois is no longer a Republican, and
his views 6hould have no influence in
' 'ie party councils.
The dispatches today say that it is
possible Nansen has not reached the
North pole. This information is abort
as startling as the belief that the sun
will continue in its course for several
vears at least. '

SCHOOLBOYS IN CHINA.
The Ixt of the Celestial Youth. Is Not
. Desirable One.
While modern educators are making1
the claim that the ycutbs of to-day are
held too close to their tasks and over
fond mammas find in the confinement
of the schoolroom the solution for the
pallor on their children's cheeks, a
knowledge of the course of study pur
sued by children in China might be of
some value. At the age of five a Chinese
boy beg-ins his schooling". At daylight
he rises, and after dressing; as quickly
as possible he starts breakfastless to
school. He is given a task and after it
is completed he is allowed an hour for
breakfast. Again, later, he has an hour
for luncheon, but he is at his study
nearly 12 hours a day, seven days in the
week.
All this time, when he is not reciting
his lessons, he is studying aloud at the
top of his voice. He is under the eye
of his master both in school and on his
way to and from school. ' The lad is
taught rudimentary astronomy, physics
and natural history, but greater stress
is put upon writing and literary studies.
"A Thousand Letters, a poem, is the
study that forms the backbone of his
literary education. In it are taught
the duties of children to parents, and
all such matters. Whatever the study
may be history, classics or science
every lesson is learned and repeated
word for word.
ANTARCTIC CONTINENT.
Believed to Be a Land Foil of High
Mountains. -
The hydroghphic office has issued a
new chart showing the limits, accord
ing to the numerous reports received at
the United States hydrographic office,
of the enormous ice fields encountered
by mariners in those waters during the
exceptionally severe years of 1892 and
1893, says the Washington Star. .All of
these reports agree in describing the
icebergs seen during these years as co
lossal in height and extent and herded
so closely together that any attempt
to force a passage through the main
body of the drift was attended by grave
danger, many vessels being more or less
damaged by collision and two lost..
Some of the bergrs are high and per
pendicular, and are regarded as of re
cent origin. Others are known to be
old. Their character is such that they
could not have been formed on low,
flat lands. Scientists believe there are
high mountains in the Antarctic con
tinent. ' : J -
