The Gazette.
Thursday, January 4, 1900.
Senator McBkide has been par
ticularly favored by appointment
on committees in the senate. He
has been made chairman of one of
the most important committees,
that of coast defenses, and is a
member of six other committees.
His abilities are recognized and
his usefulness as a valuable sen
ator, for the nation and this coast
in particular, is the beaitiest en
dorsement he can have. The sen
ator was chairman of one of the
most important committees in the
last session, and his appointment
to the chairmanship of so import
ant a committee in the present
session is just cause for congratu
lation for the people of this great
and good commonwealth. Nor is
this all. Senator Mc Bride's ap
pointment to a place ou the com
mittee to outline a policy and style
of government for the Philippine
islands is due recognition of his
ability. Today there is no more
imporiant work for the American
congress than that of properly
preparing for the great increase in
our volume of business and
strength and importance as a
nation than the manner in which
the Philippine problem is polved.
McDride's appointment is a credit
to himself and to the people he
represents. Oregon Mist.
The above voices the sentiments
of the Gazette. Knowing Senator
McBride as we do, we feel safe in
guaranteeing his loyalty to our
state. He is first, last and all the
time with us. His recognition in
Washington is but a repetition of
his appreciation by the represen
tative men of Oregon. Senator
McBride will not be deserted by
thos9 who have Oregon's best in
tercuts at heart.
THE PROBLEM OF PEACE.
The campaign of the American
forces iu the Philippinns since the
end of the rainy season bus been it
ehoit oiip, but it seems to have
boon so successful that the oft
ropealed assurance that the re-1
bullion is crushed enn now be ac
cepted. With the insurgent army
soattored, its military leaders and
its civil founders and directors
prisoners, Aguinaldo Hoeing with
h small band of followers, there is'
nothing lfft on which can bo based
the semblance of a claim to an op
position government. There will
be fighting for some time to come,
so long as the scattered companies
of Tagals can find enough in the
country to forage and thus secure
a living, and military ruin will
still, of necessity, bo mnintaiued.
Hut the organized force of insur
gents in the islands has censed to
be the problem confronting uh,
and the authorities at Washington
will have to turn their attention to
the real aud more important ques
tion of the Philippines the estab
lishment of a stable government
which shall guarantee to the na
tives of the island as well as to
evry foreign interest there just
and equal rights. The problems
of peace are much more difficult
than those of war. In a measure
the same questions will appear a
to the future of Porto llioo aud of
Ouba, but the probloin of the far
east is a much mors serious one.
In the nearer islands there is a
bettor understanding of American
institutions and methods, and al
ready the readjustment of cos
turns in public and private life to
meet new conditions has so far
progressed that the anticipated
future seems almost certain. In
the Philippines an entirely differ
ent situation meets our represen
tatives, and progress must neces
sarily bo slow, with impatience
there and at homo ns well. The
cry of the anti-imporialists seems
to have spent itself, and there is
no shadow of doubt as to the en
dorsement by the couutry of
the policy of the administra
tion thud fur iu maintaining
the supremacy of the United States
in tliPHs islaudn, and the people
are now looking for the indication
of the policy of the future. Thore
ought to be no waiting now
for the hand of destiny to
lead, . ro further vacillating,
but a careful determination of the
couisii iu which thin couutry shall
waikout its own destiny iu the
eastern hemisphere, a careful con
sideration of the rights of these
people, who have lately come
under our flag, and equally careful
conai deration, of our owu lightf,
and then a going forward in the
work of establishing a government
that shall maintain these rights.
Firmness and justice must go hand
in hand in whatever is done, the ad
vance toward the higher plane be
made with a recognition of the
limitations of the people, and
above all there must be absolute
honesty in our dealings vith them.
The task of the newly appointed
insular committee of the senate is
by no means a pleasant one, but
the personnel of the committee
gives assurance that it will be met
by earnest and able effort. Around
Senator Lodge as chairman the
republicans of the senate, in plac
ing upon the committee Senators
Allison, Davis, ProGtor, McBride
aud Beveridge, have gathered the
ablest among their number and
have thus recognized the impor
tance of the question. It is to be
hoped that the democratic mem
bers of the body will meet the
problem in the same spirit, tnd
place upon the committee as the
representatives of their party not
those who w ill seek to block pro
gress by quibling and carping,
but those who will lend their aid
to the solution of the problem.
No party can afford politically to
assume such an attitude, but above
all that is the call of the nation
for the service of its best men of
all parties iu this direction. The
Haverhill Gazette
BRITON AND BOER IN SOUTH
AFRICA.
All the Boers, of both republics
men, women, and children com
bined hardly begin to equal in
number the population of the ob
scure suburban town of West
Ham, near London. Yet the very
same London papers which a few
days ago thought the Boers could
not and would not fight, and that
a few British regiments could go
to Pretoria without firing a shot,
had now gone to the opposite ex
treme of regarding the Boer armies
as the most formidable ever knewn
in the history of warfare, and were
begging their readers to consider
that the British empire was en
gaged in a hfe-and-death Btruggle.
This tone merely invited the con
tempt of the world, while it also
provoked tha freer expression of
enthusiastic admiration for the
magnificent stnnd of the Dutch
farmers against such overwhelm
ing odds. A race that can show
such qualities as the Boors have
exhibited in the last three months
ought not to be exterminated. Its
hardy stock ia needed in the work
of developing the Dark Continent.
Wo all know wall that the Euglish
in the course of a few more weeks
or months can hammer and blunder
their way through to Pretoria, for
the si na pie reason that they have
money, ships, and guna without
limit. They can, if need be, trans
port a million fighting men to
Natal and Gape Colony; while the
whole Bjer natioa is Already in
the field, so far as thj two repub
lies are conoerned, and the pros
pect of assistance from any outside
quarter is to remote to be seriously
considered. The war against the
American colonies was a shameful
thing for England, and about the
only Englishmen who have come
out of it decently on the page of
history are the Chathams, Foxes,
aud Burkes, who saw :he truth
and spoke it with courage. Eng
land lost in that war, and her Bar-
goynes, Howes, and Comwallises
won no glory for themselves or
their country. Eoglaud will win
in the present war, but it will be
Commandants Joubert, Crouje and
the other Boer leaders who will
oome out with military renown,
rather than the Bullers, Methuen,
Gataores, or Whites. And there
are Boor statesmen, too. From

This worthy man has been at the

Northwest for 46 years. He had a double
reason to be congratulated oq this occas
ion as he bad been almost totally deaf
for years, and in eite of bis advanced

age, his bearing was restored last April
by Dr. Darrin, now looated at the Palace

April 26, 1896
To whom it may oonoero and encour
age, lo friends who have enffjred like
myself, tbe loss of hearing;. On April
24th I called on Dr. Darrin, whom I be
lieved to be a skillful aurist and applied
his remedies and electricity to one e-ir
and cared the denfness in a few minutes.
Then hetnrned bis attention to tbe other
ear, which did not seem t yield so
readily. For tbis ear tbe doctor gave
me medicines to use at home which I
am now using. I think it tba duty of
all who are afHioted to have tbeir hearing
restored If possible, and I know no one
whom I think more skillful than Dr.
Darrin. Nehbmiah Doanh.
What Farther Treatment Old for Iter Dr.
Doane.
To the Editor: Some two weeks ago
or more I said something of legaioing
my henrlng under tbe treatment of Dr.
Darrin, of which I h id suffered for sev
eral fears. On the first application the
deafness of one ear (tbe left) was rem
edied. Tbe difficulty with the other was
more serious. I applied the medicine
faithfully and weal aain to tbe
dootor, who succeeded entirely in restor
ing tbe lost sense of hearing, so that
when I went out upon Third street
Portland it eeeuifld to be the largest
city I was ever in. My hearing still re
mains distinct, in both ears equalh
good. Nehbm ak Doanb,

J. D. Hanna called at the Eagle office whllj In

visit to hli old home In Missouri durlni? the
fall and returned to Oregon fully satisfied to
permanently resido in Fox valley.
G. 3. Andrua, who resides on the head of
Granite creek, accompanied by his sou Bert,
was In Long Creek Saturday Mr. Andrus
recently located la the Middle Fork couutry.
coming from the Walla Walla country, and is
highly pleased with his new home,
E. O. Stansell, who early in the year left
Grant county for Bloomlngtou, California,
writes the Eagle that California is a hard state
to live In, and just as soon as he eould sell his
property he intended to return to Oregon. He
says if a person has plenty of money, It is a
grand country to live In, but If not, he advises
all to stay lu Oregon, the laud of plenty.
The Eagle Is Informed that a large force of
men has again been put at work on the Badger
mine at Susanvlile, and that the operttlon of
this valuable quartz property has been resumed
by the new company, under the management of
Alfred llrile. This news will be welcomed by
all the laborers who were employed by the
former company, and it moans a pay roll of
several thousand dollars, a large part of which
will be circulated among the people of Grant
county.
S. M. Bringhain, of Dale, who had charge of
building the I'endleton-Susanvllle road, has
forwarded his bill of expense for the construc
tion of the bridge across the John Day, says
the Pendleton Tribune. The entire cost for
material was about $197. Of this amount 177.80
had already been paid by the Pendleton Com
mercial Association and the remainder will be
paid iu a few days. It was ordered paid at the
meeting Monday evening. The work of build
ing the bridge was done by people living in
that locality, under the supervision of Mr.
Brlngham, who has been very faithful and
diligent in his e It arts to complete the work
before heavy snows of winter fell. The road
also is practically completed and when spring
opens the highway to Susanvlile will be ready
for use.
