NEW YORK NEEDS IT.
France seems to be raising some
-question as to the Monroe doctrine.
France owns a small portion of the
South American continent, a portion
this country certainly does not envy
her. But she must understand that
she owns now all she ever will. The
United States is not a nation greedy
for the lands of her neighbors, but,
on the contrary, recognizes their
Tights, ftnq. is prepared to assist in
maintaining them. As for fearing
the power,sot Europe, most of the
country doesn't care a snap for them.
We have no commerce to be de
stroyed, and no damage could be
done us except the bombarding of a
few ports. '
There is quite a general feeling,
too, among the inlanders that would
be highly gratified by the bombard
ment of New York City, especially if
the English would do the shooting.
The city is but a suburb of London,
and is practically a British depend
ency. If the knocking of their
houses about their ears would at the
same time jar a little patriotism into
them the magnificence of .the results
would fianso tht nrif trt Tip rppfc.
oned as trifling. If the French want
to do this piece of missionary work
for us, it will be appreciated. They
may bombard our seaports, and all
Europe may assist, but none of them
will ever own a foot more land in
America than they do now.
The goed-roads conventions have
done excellent work in agitating the
subject of improving our roads.
Among the other good things done
by those conventions is the interest
they have awakened in broad-tired
wagons. Why tires should have
been made or used so long of the
piesent narrow style, is past all find
ing out. The broad tire has proven
itself, wherever used, so much better
that the wonder is the narrow tires
are used at all. Down in Nevada,
where they have the best natural
roads in the world, the big freight
wagous have tires five and six inches
wide. Any other kind would be out
of sight in the hard earth at all times.
The county judge of Jackson
county is evidently not infatuated
with the railroad commission. In
arguing the reasonableness of the
tax on the Southern Pacific's prop
erty before the stale board of equal
ization Saturday, he spoke of the
commission in slighting terms, say
ing: "The most the commission has
done in four years is to order the
cutting down of a bull pine tree."
It is unfortunate that- the judge did
not give us further information as to
why this piece of vandalism was
done. It is to be presumed that the
bull-pine was trespassing on the right
of way, or doing someting else 'to
the injury or inconvenience of the
road. - i '
The time is not far distant when
the machinery of the world will be
moved by electricity, which will be
generated cheaply by utilizing tha
natural water power. ' PorlJtmd is
running its street csrs and machinery
with the power of the Willamette
falls, and it will not be many years
before the grandjower at Celilo falls
will be turning the wheels of indus
tries here. . , '
Ex-Queen Lilioukalani left San
Francisco Saturday for. Boston. Up
to date none of the San Francisco
papers have been able to discover
what, the lady is after, but it is as
serted that she was to meet her niece.
This may be all there is in her visit,
but if somewhere a political motive
is not discovered, we lose our guess.
The senatorial election is getting
ripe, and many longing eyes are fixed
on the purpling plum. Who is go
ing to get it is hard to say ; but it is
pretty safe' te predict that if it isn't
Mitchell it will be a stubborn fight,
and will not be settled until the tail
end of the session.
The Cascade Locks edition of the
Oregonian, published Saturday, was
a very valuable number, containing
much information, that is such even
to persons residing in the territory
described. Those who got copies
should forward them to their friends
in the East to give them some idea
of the vast and productive area
"where rolls the Oregon."
