Jealousy Promotes Injudicious Criticism of our Conquests. DEWEV TYPICAL OF GREAT COMMANDERS Tha Naxt Politioal Campaign-Da-valopmant of Spring in Washing ton Pasting of Oregon Pionaara. (Special Correspondence to the Gazette.) Washington, April 27, 1899--It is a little straDge that the idea of American liberty should take the form it haa at times lately, that our officers and representa tive men should set all the rivers afire by injndiciounly shooting off their mouths. It is rather a dis paragement of our: nationality and progress as a people to have re presentative men make asses of themselves. The latest instance is Captain Coglan, of the returned cruiser Raleigh, who had to go iDto refractions over Admiral Dewey, who has the most exquisite sense of the proper thing and should not be left ; to the tendei mercies of idiotio admirers. Just now, when we are having peculiar relations with Germany and the German empire, it is to be regret ted that the enthusiasm could not be kept within reasonable grounds. Probably, there will be no serious notice of Goglan's injudicious fool ishnes, but there was any thiug less called for than his remarks whether they were justified by facts or not. Germany wants peace with us atid we need peace with Germany. All the folly of German naval officers has been compensated for by oar victor ious career. The admirable quali ties of Dewey have sustained the glory and dignity of this republic. He is esteemed bscause of his diplomacy hs much as his valor. He is a representative American As such he was capable of rising above the commonplace of jealousy that was so apparent in many ord inary characters. It has been typical of great naval commanders through the history of our country, that they have been equal lo emer gencies that have arisen in foreign complications. However, this Coglan matter will tot derive much magnitude, as German diplomacy will ignore it if Coglan shall be moderately disciplined. The world is now watching the forecast for the next political cam paign. It remaiDB to be seen if democratic politicians will try to make capital out of our foreign complications. 8enator Clay, of Georgia, expresses himself rather nobly as to our duty in regard to the Philippines. He voted for the treaty and realizes that we cannot lexve them to the mercies of a savage government, Dor can we leave them a prey to foreign na tions. He favors leaving them to themselves as soon as possible, how ever. That is hardly the idea of the people of Oregon, for we hope to es tablish business relations with the orient ai.d have the Philipines as a good starter. It is expected that I'.ryaa will be more thau ever for free coinage The policy will be to manufacture eonie policy to win and not stand on trifles doing it. There have been too many trifl ing matters mixed up with our war and ita glory has been dimmed by the silly actions of those wdo have email axes to grind. The beef in quiry; the Sampson aud Schley controversy. The little things the people should overlook are hauled into public view and their malod orous qualities disgustingly parad ed. If the war had been left as it was fought; then ita history would be something to read with gener ous appreciation. The minor squabbles of inferior- characters who have their own cuds to serve all these have come in to detract from the glory of tha war with less iuflaence left to build on sod add glory to. Every dy Washington growa more aud more beautiful, It is a delight to watcti tie breaking forth 1 uoiwa riavtur tmin msgazioa, 0.

A few days since there was bare limbs, where today is living shade, and very acceptable.' It is a beautiful world and when it is clothed in living green it really cannot be ex called. One who was an early resided t of Oregon takes, up any paper with an apprehension that it will tell him of someone who was part of the early time who has gone to il 1 . . rt.it a . i me uereaner. suon uas oeen tne feeling often since coming less than two years ago to the east. Half a century has passed since my first ooming to Oregon. Portland was a village; Salem was scarcely known; Oregon City was then the commercial center. When living in Portland, in 1852, and going to housekeeping, it was necessary to go to Oregon City to purobase my furniture. But time has changed all of that There is scarcely one left of - all that lusty life and kindly hearts who were there at the beginning. Coming down' street this morn ing it was really interesting to Watch the throngs pouring through the various avenues bound for the various departments. As you go each day to and from home, it is worth while to note the character of the passers by. As to age, they are generally middle aged. There ate very few who are less than middle age. The number who are old and often decrepid, are many. It naturally reminds one of tht ancient Baying that office holders "seldom resign and never die." The greater part of the population are dependant on official position. There are numerous churchet and schools iu Washington. It is a city that has every civilized at tribute and its population is great ly made up from refined and edu cated people. This is the season when the out side or country features come into appreciation. Soon there will be constant travel ou the river of an evening; different opportunity to tiud recreation and purer air by trips to the country or on the river. Before long it is my inten tion to go to Mount Vernon and Arlington to see those beautiful places while dressed in their best spring foliage. S. A. Clarke Brail and Brawn. Ia these days, when the rapid aoooeo tration of population it robbing tbe bu rn id mass of its brawn, confining it iu narrow streets and darkened rooms, wbere pbysioal development ii impossi ble, and drawing constautly upoo the brain capacity for existence more urgent ly, it ie little wounder that tbe state is becoming seriously hardened witb tbe physically, mentally, and morally de generate. If tba purpose of natare in evolution n to eduoe scoostsolly bigber type of man intellectually, we know tbat iD ber wisdom she would aopplemeut nob an achievement wltb a physique correspondingly enduring. It would therefore seem tbat we have more need today to oare for oar physical develop ment than ever before. Tbe growth of luxury and wealth, and tbe iboreasing demand in all lines of work f r Iodb mental preparation wbiob begins early, all baa a tendenoy to exhaust tbe pbysioal foroes. It we add to theie tbe atmosphere of social disoootenl, which prevails in oar cities, wbere tbe consam- ing desire for wealth, euocess and reo ognition is almost an insanity, and in wbiob tbe child onoonsciously ebares, we obo see little hope for tbe production of symmetrical men of brain and brawn in snob a soil. It is almost a rule that great intellect arise in obsoarity, and , aa wa scan tbe fields of literature, art, and science, we observe bow closely to natore these great minds lived and worked. Shakespeare, Goetbe, Beeth- oven, Wordsworth all were In sympa thetic oommanion witb tbe son roe of all tbat is beat and beaut'ful in life. Huxley every year sought tbe aolitade of tbe Alps for companionship witb nature, bile Darwin lived exclusively in tbe fields. There is a symmetry in life wbiob we have not yet learned, bat which we mast learn if we would conserve oar national vitality aod gaia the measure of coo tenlmeot and soocess wbicb 'makes life worth living.

The Dalles Chronicle. Tbe death of Donald McKay, the famous Indian sooat, brings vividly to mind tbe hardships and disadvantages of tbe settlers of Oregon. He was a brother to Dr. W. 0. McKay who died in 1892 Dr. MoKsy was well known by all pioneers in Tbe Dalles, having lived here tor a Dumber of years. - He wae the son of Thomas MoKay, who osme to Oregon in 1811 witb tbe Astor ex pad i tion. Hia mother was a Chinook Indian woman far above tbe average. ' Buoh men as these, enduring the hardship and privation of early pioneer days bave lived to aee Oregon one of fbe finest States of tbe Union. The present generation bave no' con ception of what difficulties were enoqant urea oy me eany settlers. Today we live io tbe world, witb all tbe advantages of modern times. Not many years; ago Oregon was barely knowo, while today sue is one oi me loremosi in war or peaoe, agrioultare, mining, farming aod m feot nearly all industries thai are of tbe present day. The ooat of arms of Oregon displays an emigrant wagon, a deer aod an j ex panse of O068U bearing on its breast a steamer, - Below are discovered a sheaf of wheat, a ploogb, a rake and a ptok. Tbe orest is tbe Amerioau eagle with the motto: "She flies witb ber own wings." Tbat tells the whole story, an it needs no farther explanation. Brave settlers advaooing i.ito this strange territory of wbiob tba poet wrote "Where rolls tbe Oregon and hears! no sound save its own dasbiogs," have made it one tbat tbe United States may well be proud of, witb handsome poblio buildings, prosperous oities, -aobools, oolleges and universities. . Her volun teers are of tbe bravest and mostgallant tbat entered the army to uphold the nation, and bave brought much credit to tbeir stale. Tbe "Oregon," the great est battleship afliat has goloriously ap held tbe dignily of tbe state from which she derives her name. Oregon has advanced woaderfaly io tbe past fifty years. To realize this we mast renumber tbat in 1818 Daniel Webster, who as opposed to expansion, saia mat uregoo was so far off that 'it never could be governed by tbe United utates, and mat a delegate lo oongress oould not reaob Washington until a year after tbe expiration of bis term Note tbe change today. We oaa reach oar oapital within a week aod ebould oommunioation be wanted it oaa ba bad within a few minutes. Oregon is larger thau the whole of New England, and bus a seacoast S3) miles long. I's mountains and scenery are sublime, an artist's dream. Her forests are almost incalculable, while ber valleys are astonishingly fertile. The grand Columbia running along ber border baa a navigable length of 1200 miles. -Tbe metropolis of tbe state is Portland, destined to be a great city. II it situated on tbe beautiful Willam ette, of wbiob tbe poet, Sim timpsoo, tsys: "From the Casailes'i frozen gorges, Leaping like a child at play, Winding, widening through the valley, Bright Willamette glides away; Onward ever, Lovely rivor, Softly calling to the sua; Time that scars us, Maims and mars us, . Leaves no track or trench on thee!" UN TO LONU CHEEK. Articles or Incorporation of the Pendleton Telephone Company Filed. W.J. Fornieb, Jeremiab Despain of Ukiab, and Itobin W. Fletober bave filed articles of incorporation of the Pendle ton Telephone Company, witb a capital stock of $3000 divided into 8000 shares. This new company has acquired all the rights and property of the Blue Moun tain Telephone Company. It allegea that the otijeot of its incorporation is to oonduot a telephone system between Loug Creek, and Pendleton. Tbe dis tance between those two plaoet is some thing over 70 miles. Tbe Blue Mouo lain TtlepboDe Company baa a line in operation to Charles Cunningham's ranob, a oouple of milea south of Pilot Rock. Tbat line will be utilized and the work of construction on tbe exten sion of tba line to Loog Creek will be oominenoed just as soon as word bas been received tbat the ariiolee of incor poration forwarded for filing in tbe office of tbe secretary of State at Salem bave been ocoepted.

No Important Sales Yet dales Probable Soon Crop Conditions-Effect of Bad Weather. Pendleton Tribune. ' We do not here of any important Bales having traospired daring the week, and tbe local market may safely be quoted as quiet. This oondition of affairs is not so muoh owing to a deoided tendenoy to bold aloof. Reports reach ns tbat farm ers aod dealers in tbe interior will in tbe next 30 days let go a good part of tbeir holdings; tbe farmers io many oases are compelled to dispose of tbier orop in rder to seoare the -means by which to i le over a new orop season. Reports coming from the wheat belt of Washing ton state that tbe damage to tall sown wheat bas been enormous, especially in tbe bloestem dlstriot. In our last issue we stated "a great many of tbe ooantry dealers aod farmers bave come to tbe conclusion tbat they held oo to long, and are not to realize within 10 cents of what they oould bave received last fall." A subscriber objects to the aforesaid and desires a statement to be given of tbe highest quotation, and tbe prioee now obtainab'e. For his information, the latter pert of September olub wteat was bought here on the basis of 64b and 65o per bushel; at the time we write it is worth bat 57c to 58a. This shows a loss of 6c, wilb interest and warehouse oharges; 12o loss is not too much to show sinoe then. Sales that ara now being made are principally for milling account, aod exporters are not very eager to seoare any of the staff, considering tbe prioe offered in Europe tor otrgoes of prompt ehipment or afloat. We qupte olub 60o; valley no demand 5860o; blueslem, 62o per bushel. Orop reports to band from various sections of Oregon say tbat the lata rains delayed plowing and seeding, but witb tbe fine weather work progresses rapidly, and beoomes general. Ten days will praotioally finish seeding. Ia fiistern Oregon tbe abseooe of warm sunshine is delaying the develop ment of vegetation. ' Plowing and seed ing are well advanoed lo tbe Columbia river valley. Fall and . winter sown - grain are making good growth, bat tbe spring sown is not doing so well. Many farmers do not expeot over 15 bushels from spring sown grain even in favor able years; beooe, tbe spring aoerage ia small, except wbere tbe tall sowa grain is frozen out; in those seotions it is qaite large Spring sown grain on sum mer fallow makds a good orop. Tbe acreage of spring sown grain is larger this year than usual. To make a good orop, early development is necessary, and then oooassional rains, especially during June. The scare at San Francisco oauaed by the reported damage to tbe winter wheat orop 10 eastern states oontinuea nnabated and his resulted in a good advanoe in values. Although opinions regarding the extent of damage still vary, the country bag taken bold of tbe market, wbicb, after a slight reaction, closes firm in Chicago and Liverpool. Ia eastern markets tbera bas been a good demand during tbe week and tba market bas ruled rather firm. Millera wanted oboioe wheal and it was taken np quite readily. Tbe receipts bave been rather small and tba reports of damage to the growing wheat helped to sustain prices. Country holders appear to be indifferent about selling and may possib'y be inclined to bold until the oonditioos of the new crop oao be ai oertaioed. This may partly account for the small movement. Tbe demaod bas been good and soft wheat was especially wanted. Millers bave taken about all of tbe wheat reoeived, though oocasiooal oars went direct into tha elevator on purchases made to arrive. In tba specu lative market wheat continues to rale irregular, sentiment still being very divided. h. F. Gardner Pardoned. Oregon Independent. Oovernor Qeer probably did right io pardoning L. F. Gardner, who was sen tenced to serve in the penitentiary for 8 years tor the orime of rape. We ara told tbat tbe petition wai signed by J udge Burnett, Distriot Attorney Haydeo and all the jury oonvloting bim, claim ing tbat there were grave doubts as to bia baying committed tbe crime.
