WHITMAN.
. ' Ftf ty 3-ears have rolled between
the Whitman massacre at v"anlatpu
and the present day. They have
"been fifty years of heroic endeavor
and great achievement. Alaska
not wilder today than was the vast
region of the trans-Mississippi half a
century ago. St. Louis, the metrop
olis of the West and the South, had
fewer than 50,000 people. Chicago
had fewer than 20,000. Omaha,
Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Denver were not in existence
San Francisco had 450 people, and
Portland, with 200 or 300 popula
tion, was lost in the vast, solemn find
continuous forests of the Oregon.
These fifty years have been lumm
(ous with the refulgent rise of the
star of empire. States have been
founded, cities constructed, and rail
roads laid across the prairies- and
through the mountain passes. And
with these achievements have come
suhoolhouses and colleges, churches
and hospitals, and all the multitudin
ous benefits and blessings which me
the accompaniment of the highest
civilization. The wild region of the
Oregon, which fifty years ago stood
as the apotheosis of the wilderness and
. desert places of the earth, has four
cities, all rivaling in population, in
wealth and grandeur any of the
cities of the union then in existence,
.with the exception of a few places on
the Atlantic seaboard.
Fifty years ago savage ignorance
and fury extinguished the life of the
man who did more than any other
one man to plant the seed of empire
on these shores. Whitman was more
a martyr to the flag than to the cross,
So long as he confined his labors to
the mission work at Waiilatpu he
was in no danger. He was slain for
bringing immigrants into the coun
try.
"Ever since the,, return of Whit
man in 1843," says Bancroft, "he
had lived over a smoldering vol
cano," That was the year in which
he guided nearly a thousand immi
grants into the Oregon country,
"Year after year," continues the his
torian, "an army of white people
came from east of the Bocky mount
ains, on whom the aborigines looked
with distrustful anger.
They were angry with Whitman be
cause he did not leave the country,
because he raised grain on their land
and sold it to the immigrants, This
had been their temper all along; but
in 1847 it had seemed to take a more
aggressive form, either because they-
had been told that the United States
then claimed sovereignty, or because
in their own minds their dissatisfac
tion w&s fully ripe, and the sword, so
long suspended, was ready to fall."
Further proof that the Indians
killed Whitman because he brought
the white, people into their country is
found in the fact that his missionary
associates were spared. The mis
sions at Lapwai, in Idaho, and at
Walker's Prairie, north of Spokane,
escr.ped. Indian cunniug taught the
savages that Whitman, more than
: any other living man, was responsi
ble for the increasing invasion of
their country, and in a spirit of re
venge and fear they resolved upon
his murder.
After fifty years of humiliating
neglect, the people of the Pacific
Northwest are bestowing tardy re
spect and honor to the memory of
this patriotic American. The com
memorative exercises at his grave
will be an enduring lesson to old and
young. They will prove an ipspira.
tion to patriotism, and an Incentive
to' lofty American manhood and
womanhood. ' The history of this
nation has no example more inspir
ing than the life and death of Mar
cus Whitman and Narcissa, his
wife. Spokesman-Review.
War between Austria and Turkey
has been averted by the surrender of
the latter. Trouble between Ger
many and China, however may yet
take place. . A conflict between these
two nations might easily draw Rus
sia in, and then the area of the dis
rurbance would be sure to spread.
The unpleasantness between Ger
many and Hayti, of course, does not
involve the Monroe doctrine, for
Germany seeks redress merely, and
not an extension - of territory. . In
the Chinese difficulty, though, the
Kaiser is suspected to have designs
of territorial aggrandizement, and if
he should attempt to carry them out
there would be a convulsion in Eu
rope. These days the gates of the
temple of Janus are never tightly
barred.
