WILL IT BE WARt
The closing years of the century
id fair to see some mighty changes
among the governments of the earth.
The hurrying of fleets toward China,
whether it mean the partition of that
moribund monarchy or not, gives
evidence that some territorial read
justment is in prospect. The theater
of action is changed from Europe to
. Asia, and the snores of the Pacific
mark the place where stirring scenes
may be witnessed.
' The latter part of ' the eighteenth
century saw the American revolution
and the terrible anarchy of France ;
in the beginning of this one were
enacted the deeds of Napolean and
he temporary crushing of France.
" it Is not probable that the world will
"be shaken by war now as it was then,
for the strength of the great nations
is more evenly balanced, and as each
looks ?u on the preparations of the
. other, there is less and less wish for
the beginning of hostilities.
At the same time the social unrest
in the European countries will serve
as an incentive for the different rulers
to engage thcattention of their sub
jects away from home. China
would be a good field for this, and
the complications that may ensue
' from the occupation of Fort Arthur
"by Russia may be a sufficient pretext
for the clashing of the powers.
Should it come, as many are willing
to predict, all previous conflicts
would be small in comparison to this
one.
War has its benefits as well as its
horror, and as the United States can
be counted upon to keep itself clear,
the prospect may be viewed with
more complacency from our stand
point than from that of the nations
more directly interested.
The treasury statement for Decem
ber shows a great increase in the
government's receipts for that
month. For one day the increase
from customs alone was $735,567,
the highest figure reached since the
new tariff law went into effect. On
several different days in December
the receipts exceeded $600,000, and
it is estimated that the excess of
December over November will be
obove $2,500,000. Those who have
watched the situation closely say this
may be kept up for an indefinite
period. When it is remembered
what immense imports were received
just previous to the going into effect
of the Dingley law, it can be seen
that when a fair trial is given, the
present tariff measuie will be found
working satisfactorily. When the
deficits began under the Wilson bill
the Democratic press asked for time
that . the merits of the measure
might be shown. The country wait
ed, and nearly went bankrupt while
doing so. We are confident that a
far different story can be told when
the Dingley law shall have been in
operation as long a time as its' prede
cessor. It may not be perfeot; that
there is room for improvement in
some particulars is true, but the prin
clple upon which it is founded is the
correct one for maintaining the pros
perity of the United States, and at
the close of President McKinley's
administration this fact will be gen
erally recognized, if such is not the
case even now.
If Secretary Alger were to run for
othce in' Portland, he would oe un
mercifully slaughtered. . His re
1 f usal to allow Portland to manage
the Klondike relief expedition has
caused Portland people to speak of
the secretary of war in no pleasant
terms. At the same time his action
' is loudly praised by Seattleites. Are
the starving miners on the Klondike
1
to be made the subject of advertis
lng rivalry on the part of Portland
and Seattle ? . If so, the action of
Secretary Alger is quite right and
pjoper.
-' If the LHach in the Republican
party in Multnomah county can be
healed, as it is possible now it may
be, the Republican League meeting
in February will be in the nature of
a love feast to celebrate the prodi
gal's return. Just which one is the
wayward son each can decide for
himself.
Eight Mile Debating Club.
Eight Mile, .Dec. 30, 1897.
Anyone passing' 5-Mile ecboolbonee
last night might have thought that a
campmeeting was in session owing to the
number of horses and vehicles hitched
in the open space in front of the school
yard and the number of persons con
gregated about the door, together with
the clamor of voices within. The occa
sion was the third meeting of the 8-Mile
Debating Club, the eubject, being one
chosen particularly for the yoang folke,
was, "Resolved, That the Cow Is More
Useful to Man than the Horse." Un
usual interest was taken by those de
bating, the leader of the affirmative be
ing Charles Connelly," aod of the nega
tive Walter Ryan. The judges decided
in favor cf the horse.
After a short recess, a few matters of
business were dispoeed of, when the fol
lowing program was rendered :

Editor Chronicle :
The entertainment at the Enderaby
school house held a few days ago, was a
grand success. A good program was
rendered, the most pleasing number of
which were the music by the Enderby
Gle8 Club, singing by the Egbert Broa.,
recitations, declamations and dialogues.
After the program was over the ladies
served a bountiful sapper, and all pres
ent enjoyed the red checked pippins,
the popcorn and other sweets so appro
priate for the Christmas' time. The
g jests enjoyed these good things till a
late hour, when the delightful gathering
broke np for the night.
The funeral of the late W. S. Ward
was held at the Odd Fellow's cemetery
near Dufur, Wednesday, at 11 o'clock.
The services was conducted by Rev.
Jenkins, of Hood River. "
