The rapidly shifting scenes in the great play of international politics now center public interest in Africa, and for the time being Asia anil Cuba are left to work out their own salvation. When the news came ot Kitchener's great victory at Om durman English-speaking people the world over rejoiced, for that victory was taken to mean the first step for ward in the movement of civilization through the heart of Africa and the beginning of British domination over a broad strip of territory from the Mediterranean to Cape Town. "While the Soudan quieted and the dervishes extinguished or driven from the desert, the dream of trade promoters of a railroad from Cairo to the cape seemed about to be realized. Now comes the startling news that a white force which has evidently moved from the south, is occupying Fashoda on the White Nile, about 400 miles south of Khartoum. There is every reason to believe that the force, is French. Its presence there shows clearly tbat France proposes to resist British advance in Africa and to claim a large slice of territory her self. Occupying Fashoda she holds a strong strategic position. Trade and commerce in that portion of Africa may not be developed with out her permission, if she insists on her claim to the region. The trans African railwaj' will remain a dream for many years to come if she holds on, for Great Britain will certain!' not back down. Time and again has France been warned that Great Brit ain will consider interference in the Nile valley, a cause for war. If France does not withdraw, and there seems no probability that such is to be her policj', it will be difficult to avoid prolonged hostilities. Should such an unfortunate war come to pass American public senti ment on the subject will prove an in teresting study. Many au unthink ing person and many an ill-informed newspaper will doubtless set up the old cry of British hoggishness in ter ritorial acquisition, and, because France is a so-called republic, will think American sj'mpathy should be given to the nation that has a form of government somewhat similar to our own. On the other hand, there are many and strong reasons why American sympathy should go out to Great Britain. Great Britain in colonizing such portions of Africa as she has been enabled to gain a foot hold in has advanced civilization, has built up commerce, has opened ar teries of trade and has provided the manufacturers and producers of the world with new markets. She has pursued a liberal policy to other na tions in allowing them to reap equal benefits with her in these markets and the United States and this section in particular have benefited largely' thereby. British development in South Africa has caused the shipment of millions of feet of Western lumber and thousands of bushels of Western wheat and Western flour to the Anjrlo-Afncan provinces. American manufacturers have found in those colonies a profitable demand for their goods. But what has the civilized world benefited by French holdings in Africa? There is not one instance where France can be said to have advanced civilization or to have promoted commerce in her African possessions. Her whole colonial policy is one that is not favorable to the trade of other countries. Thus, looking ot the matter from a com mercial as well as an ethical stand point, it will be seen that British domination in Africa is greatly to be preferred to that of France. There are those, of course, who will de clare Africa should be left to its na tive rulers, but such a policy would mean putting a padlock on one "of the treasuries provided by nature to furnish humanity with wealth. Rich in natural resources it is a crime against mankind not to bring about the development of Africa. Since some civilized nation must undertake the work, Great Britain should be the one, as her past experience in. colonial government proves her to be the best equipped of all for such a labor. Spokesman Review. Notice to Ieliuquent Taxpayers. The delinqent taxes of Wasco county, as shown on the rolls now in the hands of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al most equal to the indebtedness of the county. Every citizen will doubtless admit that this state of affairs eho'uld not exist, and that all taxes should be collected. On account of hard times iu the past the county court Las shown leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency has reached the limit, and the court cannot wait longer on delinquents to make settlements. For this reason a warrant has been attached to each de linquent roll commanding the sheriff to collect all taxes by seizure and eale of property. With a bountiful clop now in sight, there can no longer be any rea sonable excuse for the non-payment of taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to comply with the terms of the warrants attached to the tax rolls for the collec tion thereof, and has no option in the matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save the cost of seizure and sale of property by settling their taxes at once. Robert Keli.v, Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco. County. Dated, August 4, 189S.
