FRANCJBJSPAINS ALLY?.
The reported Franco-Spanish alli
anoe has received so much credence ia
London that it has affected 'the price
of Spanish securities in that center.
To this deal, or imagined deal, la at
tributed the rise in Spain's 4 per
cents, which has just taken place.
London bein the world's financial
and speculative center, would natur
ally, have early news of an event of
this sort which would have an import-
The St. James"-Gazette, which was
about the test of -the Libndon-daily pa
pers to come over to the American
side on the Spanish question, and
which is not yet alt-the- way,-over, tel
apparently inclined -oL-tbink4here4e
some truth in the . rumor, and thaan
announcement of an'alllanc will'sooff;
be made authoritatively." MoreveS
that paper intimates., that the recent'
pro -American anC LAntj -Spanish;
speeches of Messrs. Salisbury and
Chamberlain referred to a projected
Franco-Spanish alliance, .and not- to
possible troubles in Africa.
And yet any sort of an entente be
tween France and Spain which would
give Spain any physical aid is decided
ly improbable for many reasons. Such
. an alliance would repel Russia and
' break up the league with that country
which, when formed last year, sent
'" the people of France . into transports
of delight. It would tie France's
bands and leave Germany at liberty to
mane another ' rectification of the
French frontier when France came in
conflict with the United States, as she
inevitably would if she gave any help
to Spain. It would immediately put
England into an alliance with the
United States, and bring about that
Anglo-Saxon league which has for con
tinental Europe, loomed up as a start
" ling possibility in the past month, and
which has brought out angry expres
sions from the press of every capital
from Paris to St. Petersburg. If the
belief of a Franco-Spanish deal were
as general in London as the St. James
Gazette imagines, French stocks on
the London exchange would go down
even further than Spanish 4s have
gone up. .
- Here are some of the reasons why
the Unite! States will not credit the
. rumor of the Franco-Spanish alliance.
That the French offcial class is friendly
to Spain and unfriendly to this
country everybody on this side of the
Atlantic believes, but nobody here
thinks that this feelin; will tempt
France to commit any overt act.
France has proclaimed her neutrality,
and it seems safe to predict that, she
will observe the letter ot the 'require
ments which this statns imposes, even
though she may occasionally violate
their spirit, France could not possibly
gain anythlg by making Spain's
- anarrel hers, while she , would be
sure . to lose - much. There are
certain ties,ethnlc and financial, which
tend to draw France toward Spain
Theoretically both belong to the Latin
race; the greater part of Spain's later
bond issues are held by Frenchmen
, These are powerful influences toward
- a league between states, but they are
not decisive. Self-preservation, which
is a far more potent consideration:
works in the contrary direction, and
- will keep France apart from her south
era neighbor.

5 The polls had "scarcely closed; on
Mondaynigbt wheu .the Oregoniaa
began the campaign of 1900 for the
gold standard, with a batch of mis
representations, in which among other
Lthings It says: "Gold offers no mar
gin foe speculation for it is the same
throughout the world, and fittest
therefore to be the basis of the cur
rency of a country."
When,, through the unpatriotic ac
SionoT Secretaf v'of the Treasury' CaP
riisle, hTairowlhg the creditors Of the
government to demand gold payment
,for .tijejergdita thejjr held,-therewas a
corner on gold that cost the nation
916)00,000 on the ,rlaat bond issue dur
ing Cleveland's Admtnie tlonJ J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co. had such a cor
ner on gold as did Latier on wheat a few
months ago, and as" a result the gov
ernment had to pay for his corner the
same as wheat consumers had to pay
on Latier's.
The Oregonian and every other gold
standard paper in the country recog
nizes this, and for this reason they
have begun thus early to bolster up
their cause for the campaign two years
hence.
If the gold standard is beneficial to
thepeople.it requires no bolsteiing.
It is on trial and will so remain until
after the election in 1900 at least.
Why, then, should argument in its
defense be necessary? If it is such a
good thing the people will be con
vinced of its merits before tbey are
again called upon to vote. It evident
ly is faulty or its supporters would not
find it necessary to resort to misrepre
sentations now in order tlfat its faults
be obscured.
A DISGRACE TO PATRIOTISM
When the call was made for troops
to enter the service of the United
States in the war with Spain, there
was a patriotic response from all over
the country. Brave and patriotic
men left their homes and business in
response to the call, and offered their
all to the nation; but sad to relate, their
valor has not been appreciated by the
government, or at least appreciation
has not been shown as it should have
v been, for the men who volunteered have
not been cared for in a way that tbey
should be. ' Instead of having been
supplied with the comforts that sol
diers are entitled to, they have been
Mobilized in sultry, oppressive South
i era cities, with improper clothing for
that climate and have not been sup
plied with proper nourishment.
Arthur Dutton, writing from Tampa,
Florida, under date of May Z2d, to
Harper's Weekly, gives an account of
the treatment accorded the men in the
ranks, that makes the blood of every
true American boil. Among other
things, he says that the troops when
they arrive in that heated clime are
clothed with heavy woolen clothing,
and are forced to pitch their tents in
sand banks under the blistering sun.
where there is no protection from the
eeml-torid heat, and are huddled
' together, not like human beings,
: but . like bo many sheep- for the
shambles. Instead of being sup
plied with the light diet nesary in
that torrid clime, they - are fed), on
greasy bacon and beans, food that
makes the heat less endurable. As a
result of the heavy olothing with which
they are clad and the improper food on
which they are fed, the men are falling
sick and the rank and file of the great
army Is becoming emaciated. If
they are kept there much longer,
- largo percentage of them will not be
able to enter into service.
Such treatment, or rather neglect,
on the part of the government in
Inexcusable. Men who volunteer to
, Join the army are entitled to every
care that can be shown them. They
are entitled to clothing that is suitable
to the climate in which they are
, stationed, also to food that will produce
vigor and retain health.
If these could not be supplied,
the soldiers should have been left in
the North until they could be supplied
or at least until their services at the
front were required. They have been
mobilized in the South for nearly a
month, and for no purpose. The
treatment to which they have been
euejected Is a disgrace to America
patriotism.
YOKE.
DEFEATED, YET ALIVE.
Tbe result of Monday's election is
for a time a defeat of the silver cause
in Oregon, yet it has by no means
been stamped out of existence, nor has
the fight for a release from the gold
standard been abandoned in the state.
Silver advocates will continue de
manding an equitable adjustment of
the financial question until it is set
tled right, and that will never be un
til the white metal is given an equal
footing with gold as a money of ulti
mate redemption.
Had the war with Spain not been
agitating the minds of the people dur
ing the campaign Just closed, it is
possible the result would- have been
different, for people's minds were
occupied with war talk," and there was
a general feeling that the ' hands
of the president must be held up at
this time of need, by supporting the
party to which he belonged. The
American voter is patriotic, and by no
act of his would he be guilty "of jeopard
izing the nation's interest in time of
trouble. Many conscientious silver
men were led to believe that at this
time it would be unpatriotic to cast a
vote against the president's party dur
ing the war, therefore their votes were
cast against their judgment, because
they were too patriotic to, by a single
act, hamper the administration at the
present time. When peace shall have
been declared they will vote their sen
timent, for the cause of silver, though
temporarily defeated, is not dead.
LOSING GROUND RAPIDLY.
Poor old 8 pain Is rapidly learning
the lesson all barbarious countries
have learned in the past, that a mother
eountry must deal justly with its colon
ies to retain them. Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philiplnes are as good as lost
to Spain, and now a rebllion has
started in the Caroline Islands too,
and this group stands an excellent
chance to become American territory
before many more weeks pass. The
Carolines are in the Pacific about 2,000
miles nearer to the United States than
ant the Philippines, and are in nearly
the same lattitude. They are far
smaller in area and population than
the Philippines, but tbey could
be made valuable to the United States
Revolts in the Carolines occur often,
as risings do in all of Spain's colonies.
The present rebellion occurs, however,
at a fortunate time for the inhabitants,
It will attract the attention of the
United States, and undoubtedly lead
to tbe conquest of the islands,
temporarily at least, u tne war
lasts three months longer the Canary
Islands are the only part of
Spain's colonies which that country
has any chance to hold, and these, too,
may be lost to her.
UNITED STATES ARMY.
V Six "weeks ago" the-"United States
army consisted of only .27,000 men.
Now it consists of 280,000 men in the
army and over 20,000 in the navy. But
the thing that is said by foreigners to
be the most convincing of the love
that the citizens bear their grand re
public is. thesoluntaryservice that
these-thousands 'oV men "now under
arms render their country. In Europe
conscriptions are resorted to whenever
a government goeFto'warrand In Tie
of this fact, the military officers who
are over from the Old World to watch
the progress of the war, are said to be
more than astonished at the way
ourlcittzens respond to the calls of the
president to shoulder arms.
While the visiting officers admit
that this country can get numbers
enough in the army, and that with
(-seemingly little or no trouble, tbey
ratherj doubt that .... those, numbers
amount to much, not having had the
harffdrilling that the soldiers In the
Old World receive. They may be-con-vinced
that on this score they have
been mistaken. History haapr,oven
that .the raw. .recruits, that vol
unteer in the United States army do
not lack in fighting qualities. 7
' The regulars of General Wellington
were defeated by that class of fighters
at the battle of -New Orleans, while
the' "sameurrtedV irain ad soldiers,
f under Generals Scott and Taylor, had
no trouble..! n the invasion of Mexico,
frequently-storming most difficult and
strongly fortified positions. The mass
of the troops- of the' civil war on both
sides were of tbe -volunteer kind, with
but little military training, and it has
been conceded that the world has
never seen fiercer fighting than that
witnessed in that terrible internecine
strife.
The intelligence of the American
people soon fits their sons for the
duties of soldiers. The necessity of
long military training is not so much
felt anion 2 our men, who have repeat
edly shown that it does not require
service to stand the hail of bullets, but
the civil war did prove that the side
that had the best officers was at first
the most successful. The South bad
nearly all the regular army officers
when the war first began, and it was
at first triumphant in most of tbe great
battles. But when the North had a
number of clever officers of the Logan
class educated, then the reverses of
the war favored the Unioc.
There should, therefore, be more
young men in each state given a tech
nical military training and then the
country can get along without a large
standing army, and still be able to put
into the field a large and invincible
force at short notice. Fighting runs
in the Americans' veins, so that the
training that Is required In Europe
that the men there will not be afraid,
is notreauired in this country. But
the men here ought to have good
officers.
STILL WE SLEEP.
For the past few months The Dalles
has given no attention whatever to de
veloping its latent resources; it has
been sleeping on its oars, as it were,
and allowing advantages to slip away.
Of course this was to be expected dur
ing the heat of a political campaign,
but it will not be excusable if we-per
mit this inactivity to exist much
loneer. We cannot afford to remain
asleep. ' We must wake up to a reallza'
tion of the fact that good things will
not come to us unless we invite them.
The question of manufacturing, rail
roads into the interior and develop
ment of our supposed coal mines, is of
too great importance to The Dalles to
allow to remain dormant. All ready
tons and tons of wool are coming to
the warehouses, seeking- market in the
east, whereas there should be a woolen
factory right here, opening its doors
to at least half the wool clip of the
Inland Empire, and the rest of the
clip should be secured before it is
started on its long journey across the
continent. Ve have paid tribute to
the manufacturers on the Atlantic
coast long enough, and it is time that
we wear our own clothes.
Despite the fact that our merchants
and warehousemen are offering special
inducements to tbe producers of the
interior to come here to trade and
bring their products to The Dalles for
market, our people are not offering
any new or better means of transpor
tation, ana as a result, the trade is
slipping away and the products are
seeking other markets.
Milliono of tons of coal are supposed
to be underlying the surface bere at
the depth of a few hundred feet, but
we are letting it lie there unmolested,
while we should be digging it out by
the train load and shipping it over the
world.
Now certainly is the time for The
Dalles to awake from its slumbers, and
do something to develop the latent
resources with which it is blessed.
This bids fair to bo a good season, and
during our prosperity Is when we are
best able to increase our facijities for
increased business.

HONOR TO THE VICTORS.
The reeent election has unquestlon
ably resulted in a victory for the re
publican party, and for four, years we
will be under the dominion of that
party. However much we may differ
from tbem on questions of principle,
we are forced to accept the verdict of
the majority and say (hat the officers
elected are our officers, for it is demo
cratic that the majority shall rule.
While we do not concede that it was
to the best interests of the state that
the republican party should again be
entrusted with tbe reins of govern
raent, we gracefully yield to them, and
shall, in every instance, support the
men id o$ce so long' as .tbey
shall give hj good, economi
cal government, but sfcoujd they
fail in this, then retribution must
fall upon their heads. We honor the
men who have been elected, because
they are the choice of tbe majority,
and sincerely hope they will not fol
low in the footsteps of their predeces
sors la sonsideriog a public trust a
priyate snap.
It is not improbable that Spain will
ere long open negotiations with this
government for releasing her claim to
Cuba and Porto Rico if tbe United
States will withdraw from the Philip
pines. This, however, if accomplished
will be of little consequence to the
eoncentradoes in Cuba, for whom this
war of humanity was begun. Nearly
all. of them have died, and before
peace can be declared there will be
but few Cubans left who are not in the
army. :
In tbe early days of America, and in
fact up to thirty years ago, American
men supported their women. Jp was
not considered right that women should
enter into avocations occupied by men
Their field for employment was con
fined to the' school room and faotorr
but how we find women filling places
la stores and offices,ln the profussions,
pa the road as commercial travelers
and in short, wherever there is em
ploymeut offered to the America 9
girl, there she U louna.
We honor her independence in earn
ing a livelihood for herself, but deplore
the fact that she has been forced to
desert her natural sphere. Women
were created- to be the wives and
mothers of the race. Their natural
attractions are to home and home sur,
roundings, but customs are driving
them from this sphere.
The competition they offer in the
labor field too reduces the opportuni-
ies for their natural supporters to
maintain them. The brother and sis
ter start out in life with .equal abilities
to work, and when the sister secures a
position, all responsibility of the
brother ceases, for the sister earns he?
own living. And she enters into di
rect competition not only with her
brother for wages, but with some other
girl'. brother who might make her his
wieand. relieve her of the responsi
bility of earning her own living.
Thrown into direct competition with
women, men are fees liable po seicure
positions at such salaries, as will en
able them to support families. In con
sequence there is not the tendency to
marry and create homes that there was
in the past.
We are beginning to loqk upon our
women as self-sustaining and our re
sponsibility' Coward them as having
ceased. This ia degrading to man
hood, lor the man who has somebody
depending upon him . and has an in
centive to build up a home' wherein to
support that somebody, is a better
citizen than tbe one who has not. "It
were better for the-nation if we would
retrogress in this respect, and return
to the state where every brother deem"
ed it bis duty to support bis sister, in
stead of forcing her into employment
where she must sooner or later become
a competitor for his wages. -
-r-REAL HEliOS . .
No more 6r'-- ; deed . as ever done
than by Lieuiouant Hobson and the
brave seamen who accompanied him
on that perilous trip with the Mer
rimac into the " barboi; of Santiago.
Those men faced all the perils of war,
and ' went' on an expedition where
almost-certain death seemed to stare
them in the face, .yet not one'flinched
bis duty, and hundreds-of others were
ready to voluntee.r,. Happily they all
escaped atlve,' but this does not detract
from their glory: They performed
their duty as -soldier9p and good forr
tune was with them. When the his
tory of the war of 1898 is written, their
names will : occupy a prominent place
in its page9. Heros . are never for
gotten. '..
The senate will fin aily be forced to
authorize the bond issue provided for

bond sellers are determined to hold up
all other legislation' until' this is ac
complished. They have" a grasp on
the nations-throat that cannot be
broken."' - " ''--"""
Secretary Gage recognizing the cer
tain need of more metalic money in
the country, has sent a recommenda
tion to congress that the mints be run
over time, and has condescended to
mention the necessity of coining some
silver. It Is only a question of time
when the most radical goldite must
come, like Secretary Gr.ge, to the con
clusion that silver is necessary.
There never was a time in the his-
tory of The Dalits when the people
were fuller of patriotism than at pres
ent, or when they were more In the
mood to celebrate the anniversary of
American independence. Everybody
wants to celebrate, and those bore
will inspire their visitors with en
thusiasm, and, too, The Dalles will
display its customary hospitality on
this occasion. It will outdo all former
attempts at entertaining.
- The Portland Tribune filled the mis
sion for which it was established, that
is. it fought to reinstate Senator
Mitchell, and failing in that attempt,
turned up its little toes and died. Thus
will all morning papers die that at
tempt to start in Portlana, unless they
me backed bv sufficient capital to
make them real newspapers. Any
paper started in Portland must be
ea uallv as good as tbe Oregonian. It
must give all the news, and to do this
must have plenty of money back of it
A paper cannot be rnn in Portland on

lishone with less than $250,000 will
seek an early grave.
Had there been a full vote cast
throughout the state last Monday the
republican majority might not have
been so great, though of course this is
speculative. However, it is quite cer
tain that the stay-at-home vote was
not largely republican. The union of
forces effected' at Portland was not
agreeable to a great many pronounced
silver men, consequently .they refused
to go to the polls, whereas the repub
licans were generally uo' ted on their
ticket and railed to their . support,
hence it is reasonable to suppose that
three-fourths of those who stayed at-
home on election day were not re
publicans. As compared with the con
gressional vote of 1896 in this county
there was a falling off of 323. The
vote for congressman two years ago
was 3718, whereas the vote this year
was only 2395, and compared with the
presidential vote the decrease was
669.
