PEACE OH WAUt
Today marks the crisis in the
Spanish trouble. The latest reports
received indicate that the answer of
Spain to President McKinley's ulti
matum has been received at Wash-1
dngton and that the contents will
soon be made public. Upon the
answer depends peace or war. We
cannot help believing that a peaceful
solution of the problem is probable,
and that Spain will accede to the
demands of this nation and of lin
mauit Not to do so would be
national suicide. Without the sup
port of a single European nation of
first-rate power, Spain can expect
nothing but defeat, and defeat means
litter bankruptcy and annihilation of
"the present Spanish regime. It were
"better for Spain now to acknowledge
the superiority of strength which
.America possesses and bow to the
inevitable.
Yet by the desperate straits in
which the Span.sh government finds
itself, that government may be drawn
to war, prefering to suffer what it
would call honorable defeat than sur
render at the command of another
nation its hold upon Cuba. Death
and devastation may be preferable
to the proud Castilian blood than to
acknowledge non-success after the
boastful claims put forth regarding
Cuba.
This incident in history is thrill
ing. No communication was ever
fraught with weightier results than
the one now supposed to be in the
president's hand. The country
awaits the promised information with
feverish anxiety.
YOUNG MEN FOR ACTION.
In ordinary times the American
people pay very little attention to
the navy, especinlly to the peisonncl
of its officer?. There are no fewer
than flfty.seven of the high-grade
officers of our navy who saw service
in the war of the rebellion, yet there
is not one of them all whose name
was nt all familiar to the general
public prior to the blowing up of the
Maine, except that Captain Muhan
JmcJ achieved fame ns a writer. Bur
jog the wav Farragut, Footc and
Porter achieved special prominence,
Farragut ranking with Sherman and
WMridan as a popular hero. Should
war with Spain come, undoubtedly
;tbe navy would have the brunt of it,
It wculd seem from n Washington
4tfMtcli tliHt steps are being taken to
retire Rear Atlmirnl Sicnnt from com.
ronnrt of the North Atlantic station
on account of the infirmities of ngo.
Evidently the situation is somewhat
cmhnrassing. The rear ndmirnl has
j done the country good service. Ho
i wa? with Farragut when lie ran the
Mississipdi and Mobile gantlet. Ho
: went through a dozen bombard
, mcnts, and in each case combined
j bravery, coolness and skill. Ho was
one of those dauntless heroes who
sailed up to a line of torpedoes and,
! without slacking speed, passed on,
t But it is a long time now, measured
by the length of human life, since
those days.
It will be remembered that when
the civil war came on the loyal peo
ple of the country relied much upon
General Scott. The period between
the close of the Mexican war and
1S6I was less than half as long as the
period between the close of our last
war and 1898. But the command of
the army soon passed to younger
men, men who, if they were with
Scott and Taylor in Mexico, were
too young and too low in rank to
attract the attention ot the public.
No doubt if war comes at all now it
will develop from the younger men
of the service, those who are to win
renown. Inter-Ocean.
Time and time again the necessity
has been shown of securing some
manufacturing enterprise for The
Dalles which will provide a pay roll
for laboring men and create a local
demand for our raw products. It
will be a matter of everlasting l egret
if something is not done during the
present season looking towards the
accomplishment of this object. The
local conditions around us are chang
ing, and we cannot expect that trade
will continue coming to this city un
less we take some measure to secure
it. A woolen mill established here
will not only bring a good return on
the money invested, but will also aid
greatly in securing permanently for
this city the wool trade which now
wa enjoy. The men who can bring
this thing about will long be remern
bered as public benefactors.
The hand of Providence was cer
tainly present in the Inst election
which placed McKinley in the presi
dential chair. Although he has been
criticised by those who desired more
precipitous action, we are convinced
that when all the details arc made
known the wisdom of his conduct in
the negotiations with Spain will be
made apparent. None the less de
serving of credit is Speaker Reed,
who has lent to the president invalu
able support.
Dr. Shackelford has removed his office
to room 14, Vogt block, over tho post-
office.
