From Portland, Will lie at the Umatilla Hoiua December ! 2, 3, 1998. If there was a Nicaragua canal the Oregon and Iowa would be at Hono lulu instead of-at a Brazilian port on the way around the farthest end of South America. While the easy-chaired functionary who presides over the Leland Stan ford University was traveling over the country and criticising President McKinley's war policy, the . state of California responded with a majority of 30,000 for the party which Presi dent McKinley represents in national affairs. Some of the local representative districts in Kansas are so evenly divided politically this year that the Tesult of the election can not be definitely determined until the sol dier vote shall have been received. Some of the Kansas troops voted in mid ocean while en route to the Philippines, and in the meantime the candidates at home are waiting patiently to hear from Manila precinct. Geneial Wheeler lost no time, after his re election to congress, in defin ing his position on the new and great question of the day. Though a Demo crat, he is no Bourbon. Therefore he declared : "The history of the last 300 years has conclusively shown that colonial governments alone can retain permanent control of foreign markets. I am a firm believer that it will be in our power to instill the principles of American civilization in the peoples of the Philippines." In these two sentences is summed up the full-orbed truth of the whole matter. The reason for keeping the Philippines is that their retention is demanded equally by the interests of the United Stales aud of the Filipinos themselves.

Would that the Democracy 'were more pro lific of Wheelers and less prolific of Bailej's and Bryans. Margall, the old Spanish Republi can leader, talks wisely in saying that Spain will be stronger without the Philippines than she would be with them. One difference between Mar gall an J the ottoers Figueras, Sal meron and Castelar who were at the head of the so-called Spanish fe public of 1 873, is that Margall was a sincere Republican, who had a strong and intelligent admiration for the United States, and who had an earn est desire to give his country a gov ernment as nearly like that of the United States as the differences be tween the character and capabilities of the two peoples would permit. Unlike the more showy and less sin cere Castelar, Margall would have given Cuba, which was in revolt in 1873, the retorms which that island asked for, and would even have granted independence to her. Ua happily for Cuba and Spain, the ma jority of the alleged Republicans took the Castelar rather than the Margall view oi the situation, and continued the policy of repression which bad forced the island into revolt, and which, In a new rebellion a quarter of a century later, compelled the United States to intervene. Margall is mis taken, however, iu supposing the Filipinos will insist on getting abso lute independence. There are ex cellent reasons for believing the is landers will be . satisfied with the measure of home rule which the United States will give them, ac- If you have a Chronic Catarrh, con sultation is free of charge.
