The news wlHc'a is borne to us to day Unit tiic battleship Maine was bbwn to pieces last night in Ilavan harbor is as startling information as .it is possible to receive. In the ab sence of more definite knbwledcc direct comment is impossible, but enough is known that a number of brave American lives arc lost throuy somebody's treachery. The (lis patches indicate that the disaster was caused by an accident, but the American people are not in a temper now to believe that the accident was unintentional. Following so closely as does this unfortunate affair upon the action of this government in the De Lome matter, the American peo pie cannot be blamed for having their most active suspicions aroused If it be true that the Spaniards hat" a hand in the matter, then war with Spain is a foregone conclusion, and if war come, it will mean the utter extermination of the Spanish re gime. The United States government has dealt ver- leniently with Spain While it is true that during the last year the majority of citizens has fa vored some sort of intervention, the administration has deemed it wise to refrain from any decisive steps until a more fitting occasion should arise This ma have been sound policy upon the part of the administration but the time is coming, or has al ready arrived, when the so-called jingo sentiment must be recognized We must wait for more definite information before drawing too ad vansed conclusions; but this much is true that the administration would not do an unpopular thing if step? were taken to intervention in Cuba and the humilation of Spain. If war must needs come, the American people arc ready for it. The labored dissimulation of the Oregonian in the matter of the per sonality of local ''bosses" wlro afllict the state, city, and the Republican party, will not deceive many of its readers. The public knows pretty well who the most detrimental and unscrupulous bosses are. It is the y who have loaded this city with debts, largely incurred in the working of big "jobs," such as the city hall, the reservoirs, and the bridge and ferry Bales; they who have had charter laws secretcly changed, and so legis lated as to keep the city in endless litigation; they who have more than once treacherously betrayed their party and defeated, or sought lo do feat, its candidates; they who have. chielly packed our primaries nnd de bauched our elections; they who corruptly "held up" the last legisla ture to the state's great expense, vexation nnd scandal, and'thc defeat ofthc people's will.' If the Repub licans of Oregon desire nnd deter mine to rid themselves of this co terie of ''bosses," they will not be in doubt about who the worst of them rrc. Tribune. Tho new constitution proposed for Louisiana wilt 'hardly be submitted to the people, but simply proclaimed. This is the southern way when it is deifred to limit the suffrage. It re quires that all voters shal be able' to read and write English or French, or shall orrn two hundred dollars worth of property. That can be made to take in most of the illiterate whites, what with guns nnd shotcs, nnd ex clude illiterate Negroes. Indeed, they think it will exclude 72 per cent of the Negro vote and let in practic ally nil tho whiles, which was the problem to be solved. 8100 Itetvnrtl HUM).
