World 2 00 FRIDAY - FEBRUARY IS, 1S0S THE COMING CONVENTION. All reports confirm the success of the recent cattleman's convention at Pendleton. The attendance was Jarge and representative, while the proceedings were of a kind to elicit much interest. This is a good fore runner of what the coming meeting of wool-growers in The Dalles will be. The committee is assured that many visitors will attend from our sister states, and that the men identi fied with the wool-growing industry of Eastern Oregon will be present to swell the number. This is the first convention of the kind ever held in Eastern Oregon, and it should be made a fitting pattern for the others to follow. As far as possible every citizen should constitute himself a member of the committee on invitation and entertainment. By private letters and words our business men can make the impression that this con tention will be a gathering that those interested in wool -growing can not afford to miss, and the work of the general committee will be. in a great degree, advanced by the inter est taken on the part of our citizens. The committees on arrangement report very satisfactory progress, and every circumstance indicates a most successful gathering. This has been a great year for the wool-growing industry of Oregon. Favorable legislation and a propitious winter aave brought renewed hope to the hearts of the wool-groweis, and where four j'ears ago this industry was in severe circumstances, it is now regaining its former time pros perity. This is the time to celebrate the growing gocd condition of the wool industrj, upon which, more than any other factor, The Dalles depends for its commercial prosperity. The citizens of The Dalles hope for a large attendance at the coming convention, and makes the assurance that there is room and welcome for everyone. The country will await the'repoit from the investigation of the Maine's disaster with the deepest solicitude. It is hard, under the sorrowful cir cumstances, to withhold an opinion, and there are man that will be un able to do so; but until the matter has been oflicially reported in gi eater detail, this government canuot take more decisive action. The theory that the accident was unintentional, does not seem tenable, and it will take more than sweet-worded condo- j lences on the part of Spain to con-1 prince this country that there was not' & Spanish trick in connection with the explosion. ' Isew York's associated banks, in increasing their loans to the extent of almost G.000,000 in the past five days, have furnished a good indica tion of the strength and persistence of the trade improvement. The activity of the stock and other spec ulative markets is accountable, of course, for some of the increased de mand for money ; but this activity, in its present phase, is in itself an evidence af business expansion and general financial confidence. De Lome's letter lifts the curtain on a system of falsity. In that re spect it is a clear demonstration. The politeness of the Spanish minis ter was the merest veneer. That his mind is cssontiaWy coarse was proved by his book of twenty years ago (lis paraging even the women of this country, lie referred to that publi cation as a youthful mistake, but he 1 has spoken of the president in similar terms, not only disclosing an evil nature, but a lack of capacity to un derstand nn upright president earn estly striving to solve the Cuban problem by peaceful means. Spain is under deep obligations to Presi dent MuKinley for the considerate patience he has exercised and his calming influence upon congress and upon the people. lit has sought to, extend to Spain the strictest justice. ' and nowhere in his treatment of the most difficult situation litis there ' been the slightest trace of the disin genuous. Whatever of friendly scr- ! vice has been offered to Spain was j in good faith and intended to avert j war. When De Lome speaks cpn- ; temptuously of the president and his' political ability and associations he discredits himself as a man and as a diplomatist. Globe-Democrat.
