THE REAL QUESTION.
Whether or not Marcus Whitman
shall go to history as the savior of
Oregon, is not, after all, a momentous
question. The sources from which
all weighty events flow, ore more or
less wrapped in uncertainty, and that
only a half century should pass since
Whitman did what his friends claim
for him, and that the truth should be
lost in shade, is not remarKaoie in
view of the fact that oral testimony
of matters long in the past is alwaj 8
of uncertain value. It will probably
never be known just what niche m
the hall of history Whitman should
occupy. Whether he, like Washing
ton, ehould be called the father of a
country, or whether he shall be
classed a rervous enthusiast who
made a needless journey across a
frozen continent, will, we say, never
be determined. His friends will say
one thing; his enemies claim another,
and those who study the matter dis
passionately, with a view to learning
the truth, will be perplexed by the
conflicting evidence : presented, and
leave tke matter aa one incapable of
solution. ,
But what matters it now just what
results followed from Whitman's nn
selflsh endeavor? The truer test of
a man's character is to judge him by
his intentions rather than by the re
sults which fallow his actions. If
Whitman left his home in the beau
tiful Walla Walla valley, bade fare
well to his loving wife, and braved
the perils of that lonely ride acros
the plains and mountains of a frozen
country; if he did this thinking he
was serving hia country as a patriot
should, then his name should be
written in tha list of the nation's
-heroes and his fame cherished as we
would a precious heirloom.
Whitman thought Oregon was in
danger. That was enough for him.
His was a mind that look but a little
While for decision, and his deeds, no
matter whether they were essential to
the salvation of Oregon or not, are
worthy of the adulation of successive
generations. Whitman is a type of
man that all can honor. Happy the
day and age that can recognize his
merit. Let his name be remembered
as one who would willingly give all
for his country, and rray his real
monument, which is the Christian
college established in his name, grow
in greatness and usefulness till the
work which Whitman mapped out
be completed.
The illness of President McKin
ley's mother means, probably, that
death is near. A woman worthy of
.all respect and love, she is known to
be, and her greatest happiness must
be in the consciousness ot her son's
fitness to guide a perp!exed nation
in troublous times. Like the mother
of the Gracchi, she can say: "My
sons are my most precious jewels "
Since so many persons are anxious
to confess the murder now charged
to Durrant, the . authorities should
take a few of them at their word and
give them what they seem to want.
It would save the expense of main
taining such people in insane asylums
later on. - ...
When the Hawaiian annexation
treaty comes up in the senate the
country may look for a wide diverg
ence iu discussion. Every question
has two .sides! to. it, and this is one of
them. That there are certain ad
vantages to be gained from annexa
tion is undoubted. In the event of
a war rwith "an' oriental countrj',
which in our opinion will be the next
great conflict, the Hawaiian islands
would be of immense ' benefit as a
naval station, yet it must not be for
gotten that after this government has
spent much , money in arranging a
depot of supplies at the islands, it
would be an easy matter for a for
eign nation to swoop down and cap
ture them unless we kept such a mil
itary and naval force thereas would
cripple us in other quarters. The
suggestion too, is a good one that'
the United States has troubles enough
at home withoutseeking any compli
cations abroad. That Hawaii would
be a great gainer by annexation is
undoubted, but we should not be
come too philanthropic in this sordid
age and give away more than we get.
