'When I consider the geo Krnphlcnl position of the United States with respect tu Mexico, with respect to the Pacific Coast States of I.atln America, with reference to the Pacific Coast provinces of China with their teeming millions of population now dependent on Kuropo to pro vide them with the necessities, and that Europe to gain the trade of the Orient must cross two oceans, while tho United States will cross hut one, I am convinced that the Great .Master of tho Universe has designed the American Republic to eventual ly become the one transcendent civilization of the world. John H. Klrby. nt Seattle, The Telegram says It Is never hot In Portland. No, not outside of a council meeting. It is to be hoped that Joseph Pulit zer rinds n way to control the thirst for liquor, tlio inclination to write poetry, and the propensity to borrow, in preparing tlio course for his de partment of Journalism in Columbia University. Those are the three be sotting sins of the profession, as practised today. If General .Miles could become governor of .Massachusetts, It Is thought he would then stand a show tor the presidency. It Is a long step down, from General .Miles, the sol dier, to Governor .Miles, tho politic ian, and his friends may not stand for the humiliation, although a sip of the presidential nectar be the prize. Hoosovelt turns off the accident to tho war vessels in tlio naval maneu vers with characteristic spirit. He says if tlio navy department is afraid to scratch the paint off the old boats, It was time the people were finding It out. The boats and battleships were made for service, and if a slight Jar, in a mimic war Is going to put them out of commission, they havo no business lining up In front of an enemy. One of the most remarkable facts connected with Amerlcnn civilization is that every important record of the nation and every scrap of history, is preserved on paper. A great fire or inundation, extensive enough tn .scope, would completely obliterate all written records of the nation. In tho sands of Egypt, the professors of Stanford University are unearthing tablets containing written history over 4,000 years old. There Is not a record written on nu substance In this country, which would stand such a tost. It would bo possible to wipe tho record of the American people off the face of the earth, but there Is no immediate probability of such an oc currence. Since inc first dawn of European history, the brigand races of the Hal kaiis have been us a nest of scorpi ons to tho civilized people surround ing them. No nation, or class of peo ple within reach of them, has been safe from their fiendish, fanatical at tacks. They have opixised every civ ilizing Influence and have murdered ovory civilized person left unprotect ed In their midst. The thing for Ku ropo to do. It seems, la to unlto on the totul extermination of the little nest of vermin, composing the Balkan tribes they should not bo called gov ernmentsand until this Is done, mur der, war, rapine, butchery, atrocity and outrage will Ik; the record of each succeeding season. THE SEATTLE CONGRESS. uver S00 delegates from tho West ern States uro now assomlilod In tho city of Seattle, for the purpose of discussing Western subjects, The Trans-MlsslssippI Congress, now lit session thoro, Is thought by many people to be Just a pleasure Junket for a few prominent men, and a Hlghtseelng excursion to tho Pacific Coast. Hut It Is far from being an Idle ex cursion. Some of tho most vital ' commercial and industrial subjects now befoie the people are being dis cussed, and from this congress will go numerous committees to the na tional congress and to state legisla tures on missions of greatest Import to tho West. Among the great topics now being discussed are tho opening of the Co lumbia rlvnr, tho most feasible meth od of reclaiming the arid land of the West, the admission of the territories to statehood, tho means of attracting foreign trade for Taellle Coast pro ducts, ami the settlement of the 17 I strictly arid states and territories,1 Ut mlulu a poIlll ,)C romotiitiurluK .

The congress was organized to bring transportation facilities to the producers of the larger part of the nation's domestic and export wealth, who loll in the cotton ami grain fields, in the lumber, the iron, the coal, and the oil regions, and lu i the sller and lead ami copper and gold mines of the West; to command the aid of the government in foster ing the agricultural possibilities of vast areas that with Irrigation will give richer reward to the husband man's patient labor than any other upon the earth's surface; to effect the development of harbors on the Gulf and Pacific coasts and to con serve the tremendous energies of the .Mississippi Illvcr. "These problems are all In process of solution, and the duty of tho gov ernment Is become so obvious that no one can shirk It." The millers of North Dakotu anil .Minnesota have Just held a rousing meeting and adopted strong resolu tions favoring reciprocity with every country importing American Hour. If these same millers were asked about the tariff on articles In which they were not Interested In, It Is safe to say they would favor a high rate. Hut when you reverse the order, and touch tho pocket of the American manufacturer, the high tariff becomes a source of grief to him. A high tar in' Is the acme of selllshncss, as is piuved by this very Instance. The American manufacturer wants all the advantage, both wnys. Ho wants protection If he bolls abroad, anil yet wants a prohibitive tariff against all foreign goods which are sold In this country. It is n case of "heads you lose, tails I win."

INTERVIEWING PRESIDENTS. William MoKlnley was the most easily approached of presidents. Tho writer never heart! of a declination by hliu of a single request by a news paper man for u porsounl meeting. Indeed, It seemed to distress hint to bo obliged to postpone the call of a visiting newspaper man, although the change may have been made for the best reasons. Ho was always eager to meet either individual newspaper men or the entire body of correspond ents, and ho had so good a memory for faces and names that he seemed to bo on familiar speaking terms with nearly every one of tho 17C corres pondents on service In tho capital for the most prominent uowspapers. imin tin? tiiuiiuuin;i ua ijy uviii; uuu Ing questioner himself, ho often re- versed the positions skilfully, and let the caller go away without iliidlng It Sometimes It seemed as If a long talk with President .MeKlnley left uollllll(, or , vlaor 0X,.ol)l tlll, recollection of a conversation with a most amiable gentleman, all smiles, Kot ," "' opinions Held by the culler and given none of i s own. ... i n, , ,..,i i,, ii,.ii,ii I Uoosevclt has tried and found a safe custodian of state secrets, he Is per- , '"aps other too communicative, bunion- '"K llls ll0artn' wUh llotn"8 t,lilt lu' mus c.irofujy B,m nmHoir against Involuntarily sending to his paper.

This Is no way to freedom: lo smite down sm unoffending head that wears a crown Only to set It on a sterner brow Not I of those who dream the I world's release I Will come by the soft processes of peace-. Or ihe pacific eoinpiomlse of power; And when at last dawns the stern bloody hour, When the slave stands with rllle In hand, Ami sweeps the master from the stol en laiiii, I too would hold a rllle lu my hand. Iiut when that da dawns we shall fight like men, Glad men that laugh because ut last they see So close the blazing eyes of those they hate In honesty of hate his life Is ours, His death or ours lu honesty of hate. We shall not sting an unsuspecting heel, Or lire into nn unprotected breast: This Is no way to freedom It were best Another hundred years to wait ami wall, Then Mash into the sun the fearless steel. ltlcliard I.e Galllenue.
