A RABID PHILOSOPHER.
Yesterday's Oregonlan, after prcsuma
l:y serious meditation, departs from the
proposition that Mr. Clark has been a
victim of "sour mash" and switches
around to a new theory. Mr. dark it ap
pear, has a little private nest egg at
this end of the Columbia, and all his
talk aJbout the river and its improve
ments Is based on the desire to boom
his newly acquired property. The inci
dental fact that Mr. Clark never has been
privately Interested and la not at the
present time so Interested In a foot ot
land or anything else In the state ot
Oregon, Is a i'lttCo matter which of course
does not toother the e'dltor of the Ore
gonlan. That Individual first deliberately
Ilea about the Missouri congressman,
then proceeds to appeal to Heaven to
witness what, a grossly bad person this
congressman is, and Anally comes to the
conclusion that these "betrayals" really
unfit Mr. Clark for the society of any
strictly honorable Individual, and partic
ularly cut him off from any considera
tion ut the merciless and righteously
clenched harids of the Portland editor.
The Oregonlan In the course of Its shame
ful tirade against a man of honor, says:
"We submit that his personal Interest
In private schemes of commercial devel
opment, merely collateral to the general
scheme of federal Improvement of water
ways, so far as they touch It at all, does
not constitute qualification for member
ship in the committee on river and har
bors, but the reverse. Mr. Clark has
been prematurely frank In the announce
ment that he wou'd be a member of
that committee. He has been more in
discreetly candid In his discovery of his
motives of personal Interest for wishing
to become a member of the committee.
He has been still more Imprudent In be
traying a hostile animus to plans ot
waterway Improvement which have been
a careful charge of that commlttoe for
years, In order to advance secondary
If not doubtful projects, In whose success'
he has a collateral private Interest."
Of course Senator Mitchell, a man who
blmseJf has been hounded down for years
and been accused of half the crimes in
the calendar by this same Oregonlan,
has already hastened to dispatch several
copies of the above article to his "friends
in the 'East," with the Idea of Instilling
Into their minds the belief that Mr.
Clark Is "out for the money." This was
the object with which the editorial was
written, and no He, however base, no
accusation however shallow, will be pass
ed overthat can In any way he'.p to keep
Mr. Clark from obtaining a position on
the River and Harbor Committee In the
next house. Senator Mitchell will spend
money and write letters with the fre
quency of a Cleveland; the Oregonlan
Mill continue to flit its columns wl'h any
kind of insidious falsehoods on this sub
ject; but to what end? Even It Mr. Clurk
Is not made a member of the river anil
haibor committee and It is worthy of
note that he has never claimed that he
would occupy such a position) ho still
has a voice on the floor of the hall ot
representatives, and that Is an arena
vhere Intellect, honesty, and ability will
renctrate anfd make their Influence felt
beyond even the etoscd doors of commit
tee rooms.
The Oregonlan of yesterday, side by
side with' Its yell of rage and stupid un
truth, says "Portulnd does not worry,"
but we note .that the possession of his
peculiarly placid spirit Is hardly proved
by the astounding collection of abuse
which takes up no less than three odito
rld columns of that Issue. The Orego
nlan can toe nothing wrong In deliberate
ly lying about the motives of an honest
and conscientious public servant, wlth
out the shadow of an attempt to prove
one of Its statements, but iihrleks with
outraged feelings at an article In the As
torlan which not only accused Senator
Mitchell of certain shadowy methods, but
substantiated Its statements with facts
and figures which are public property.
Now that the effects ot the great Ke
publlcan victory flast fall are beginning
to be felt in indications ot better times
throughout the country, the Democrats,
with unparalleled effrontery, are claim
ing credit for the Improving conditions.
Having reduced the country to the verge
of bankruptcy, they assume now that
the country Is Indebted to Dcmrerutlc
rule for the slight progress It Is making
In gaining some small part of what It
loht as the result of the Democratic vic
tory In 1891
We are glad to notice that there Is
every Indication of the succcsi of th
coming exposition at Portland, and hope
that Clatsop county will be careful to
present an exhibit which will do Justice
to her vast and varied resources. The
people of Portland know how to snake
things pleasant for visitors and In addi
tion to the economls benefits that accrue
rrom the annual fair in that city, the
exhibition affords excellent scope for an
Instructive and pleasant holiday. The
citizens of 'Astoria should visit Portland
in force during the coming month. Vlu
lts for the same object In past years
have amply demonstrated that they will
be treated well and will return home
with the moat kindly feelings for Port
land and her people.
The delicate master hand that guides
the destinies of tho Oregonlan, pens the
foClowIng neat and elegantly turned argu
ment: "It la well enough understood that an
excess of sour maBh was the cause of
the remarkable volubility of the Mis
souri congressman the other day."
This Is about up to the standard, and
of course no editor with such a dignity
and, reputation to sustain as Is borne
on the Srtou'.'Jera of the bright particular
star of the Portland dally will fall to
'note the manly and courteous black
guardism displayed In the paragraph.
After an unsuccessful attempt to deny
Mr. Clark's right as an observing and
an honest man, to criticize abuses that
came under his notice, and after another
and stilt more unsuccessful attempt to
angue In a painful and labored manner
that his deduction was1 incorrect, tin
Oregonlan n.iilly descends to vilification
that ever ready weapon of fools and
trad acers who seek to hound into ig
nominy mon iwhose statements they find
it utterly Impossible to gainsay.
From the opinions expressed by a large
number of members of the national com
mlttees of both purlies, It seems proba
ble now that there will be a short cam
paign next yeur. As far as actual work
of the parties In the Held Is concerned,
this rests wholly with the commute?
men themselves. Tho conventions will
not meet until called, and they will bo
called Just when the committees see fit
to bring them together. It looks as It
the members had beon taking counsel of
public opinion in their states, and would
defer the conventions as long as possible.
There should be no hesitation or delay
on the part of the city in closing some
kind of deal with Mr. Hammond for a
wagon bridge acros3 Young's Bay. Such
an opportunity to secure a. free bridge
across the bay will not bu presented In
the lifetime of another generation, and
in comparison with the Inestimable bene
fits of vehicle communication with Sea
side and the Flavel townsite, the cost ot
the necessary addition to the ral.way
bridge is a. matter of small consideration,
The Portland Oregonlan of Monday con
tains a long article on the subject of
American shipping. We are glad to see
this evidence of the gradually Increasing
Interest taken In our growing Importance
as a eoa. power by Inland towns. For
Several years, these Interior places have
shown a stupid disregard! of the import
ance of our shipping ports, and the mer
chant marine of the United States goner-
ally, but that insu'.ar Bplrlf Is fast dying
away.
The city Of Portland will find It pretty
hard work to prevent the great stales
ong the Mississippi river, with their
millions of population, from having Mr.
Clark an their representative on the river
and haibor committee, and when the
country learns the animus of the fight
which the Oregonlan says will be made
against his 'appointment, no rival will
dare contest his right to be made chair
man of tho committee.
Tliero Is room for sorlous question
whether the celebration of old-country
war anniversaries and victories by nat
uralized foreign-born citizens of this
country ought not to be foiibldden. It
certainly does not tend to encourugc
homogeneity In our people to permit such
demonstrations as the German celebration
of the faW of Sedan In New Vork last
Monday.
BALFOUR AND B1.M KTALLISM.
Those bimotiiMlsts who have been ex
pecting, with President Andrews, that
that England wou'ld ibe on her kneiy be
fore silver In half a year, will be deeply
disappointed at the attitude of Mn Hal
four, yho was looked upon as tho chlot
upoHtlo ot bimetallism in England, and
whose accession to power as the louder
o'f tho government party in tho commons
was expected to result In giving a great
inipurs'j to the bimetallic cause. It -was
conlldeiitly believed that he would tak
an early occasion to signify an active
und earnest Interest In the project for an
International conference on the question
and to reverse the position of the Brit
ish government on that subject as It
hud 'been set iforth by J. Is Liberal pre
decessor, Wlr WH'.'hum Harcourt. Hut
when the question was put to hlin In Ihi
house of commons whether he favored an
International monetary conference and
would advise tho government to Invito
one, his answer 'was not encouraging. He
was in favor pf an International agree
ment upon the currency question, "but he
ihad no right to pledge his colleagues to
such an opinion. " And as to the pro
posed conference, it would be sure to
prove Hibortlve. It was then-fore unde
sirable and he was opposed to caUing
one.
This decisive disapproval of tho pro
jected conference by the leading British
advocate of the dual coinage was cer
tainly discouraging to those sanguine be
lievers who have been expecting to hear
by tho next steamer that the governments
are ai'wut to open their mints to free
coinage. Put the nations do not rush
Into each other's arms on questions of
this kind with the Impulsiveness of school
girls on their first vacation, exchanging
vows of undying affection. The mone
tary systems of the world are slow of
growth. They have been evolved through
centuries of expirlence; from the con
veniences or the necessities of busin'jrs.
The governments of the world have
adopted such monetary systems as have
been approved by the Judgment and ax
perlenes of their business communities.
They are not likely to change them ex
cept upon the demand of the men Mho
carry on the business and the finances ot
the countries concerned. '
So that while Mr. Ualfor's utterance
on this subject In the commons Is de
pressing to thos who have expectel that
he would put himself at the head of an
Fgresslve movement looking to an Im
mediate change In the monetary policy ot
Clrent Britain, It will not bear the Inter
pretation put -upon it by some of the
gold standard papers s a distinct re
nunciation of International bimetallism
ns a practical scheme of monetary re
form. All that he meant to say was that
In the present state of European opin
ion, especially as It Is represented by
European governments, tho endeavor to
pus:i radical a change of monetary
p-llcy at the present time. Is premature,
rti-fore U can be rea'.lied a vast work of
edii.-.Ulon his to be acconp!lshed. Bi
metallism has aready made great pro
wrfss among Intelligent financiers In Eng
land and on the continent. But it still
Is very far from being understood, from
being referred with favor. And the main
obstacle to a wider acceptance of tho
bimetallic scheme of coinage Is the ex
travagance of the claims and the fallacy
of many of the arguments put forward
.by Its leading advocates. There In likely
to be plenty of time for them to moder
ate their claims and revise their argu
ments before bimetallism is adopted by
the It-ading nations of the world,
HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A CRISIS.
The St. Jamej Gazette, a London Jour
nal, raises the question of how Oreat
Britain stands with the United States
government In the matter of ;he Nlcarag
uan canal, and suggests that the v.nder
secretary of state for foreign affairs be
I asked In the house of commons for some
explanation of the subject. It says: "As
far as can be seen, we are healing
stralgnt for a crisis, and there will be
either a diplomatic dead-lock between
the two countries or the English will
surrender Important treaty rights."
Whether or not we are "headlne
straight for a crisis" depends entirely
upon the lntentloi.s of Great Britain to
ward Nicaragua and the Nlcaraguan
canal project. Great Britain has no
rights under Any treaty with this coun
try concerning an Inter-oceanlc canal
anywhere In Central America. The Gaz
ette Insists Hi at "a guarantee by the
United states government of the Amerl
can Canal company's undertakings would
be an Infraction of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty." "The cardinal point In the
whole matter," it says, "Is, does the
government mtan to enforce the Clayton
Bulwer treaty? If so, she will Join the
United Staiej guarancee of the capital?
If not, what Heps hav.) ben taken to
secure the neutrality ot tho canal, and
the equalltiei of rights and opporunltlos
of British subjects? It is conceivable
that events may so shape themeslves In
the near futuro that the Unltod States
will be practical masters of Central!
Amerlei, but before we consent any ab
rogation of tho Clayton-Bulwer treaty
must be made by ourselves.
On the 7th of July next It will be GO
years since the government of the United
States took possession of California while
engaged In a war with Mexico. The
treaty of peace with that country In 1818
confirmed the title of the United States
to California and other territory. No
soonor had it become apparent to Great
Britain that this vast acquisition, em
bracing 700 miles of seacoast on the Pa
cific, added to the Oregon territory, would
make the Interests of the government
paramount in Central America so far as
free transit both by railroad and canal
were concerned, that she inaugurated a
policy of obstruction to which the has
since doggedly adhered. She had a
short time before kindly relieved us of
that portion of Oregon which now con
stitutes British Columbia as the price for
her forbearance for not taking sides wltn
Mexico in tho war of Invasion commenced
against us by that country. Her good will
and the aid of her capitalists were both
deemed desirable by the administration
of 'Mr. Fillmore, and accordingly the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty was negotiated In
1S50. By this treaty Great Britain and the
United States were tf co-opirato in the
construction of a canal. Both were to
abstain from colonizing or fortifying any
portion of Central America or exercising
sovereignty there In any manner. This
treaty ftas been disregarded by GreaJ
Britain at wlM'. The creation of the so
called British colony of Honduras was
an open and flagrant violation of it. The
treaty of Great Britain with Nicaragua,
known as the treaty of Managua, pro
vided for a limited government by the
Moyqulto tribe within a certain reserva
tion on the Mosquito coast, and placed
Great Britain in tin attitude of a guaran
tor of these concessions, which were ex
torted by her from Nicaragua In behalf
of the Indians, who were thus to be
erected into an Indian colony in law,
but In fact a British colony. This was
also a plain violation of the treaty. Dur
ing the lust year Ambassador Bayard lias
been feebly deprecating tho conquest of
Nicaragua by his British friends, and has
been answered by the occupation of Cor
Into, In Nicaragua, and the robbery of
that little republic of $75,000 to appeaBe
British wrath, because British subjects
were punished for participating In the
Mosquito rebellion. This also was a
violation of the treaty.
The United States commission has Just
completed a survey of the route of the
proposed Nicaragua canal. Its report
will be transmitted to congress :n Decem
ber. What It will be, or what the presi
dent's recommendation wl.l be, cannot be
saifely predicted. Incidentally It may be
remarked that In constructing the com
mission, consisting of three persons, the
president found it necessary to rob the
American legation in London of its 'mili
tary attache, Colonel Ludlow.
The crisis for which we are heading so
straight Involves the question whether
Great Britain shall be permitted to claim
rlg'hts under the Clay ton-ttilwr treaty,
despite the 'fact that she has .never 'treat
ed It as binding, upon hersslf. Her in
vasion of Nicaragua last spring would
alone Justify this government In refus
Ing to listen for one moment to the pre
tensions that she has any existing t:enty
rights under that treaty. Great Britain
will not participate In the construction
of a canal in Nliragua or any other .por-t'u-
j." Cer.tr il .Vnert ;u. A canal will
he constructed by American under the
protection of the l'nit?d Mites govern
ment, and perhaps witft its ;uu. ine mu.
tralltv of that canal will be guaranteed
by this government, which will be the
sole Judge of Its own duties with respect
to that neutrality. This question wm oe
passed upon at the presidential election
of 18UI. If Great Britain Ahotild be per-
Ittfd bv the president to do anything to
conflict with American Interests in tills
matter It would be JiMono by nis ue-
cessoi', by the command of .be American
people. Any services rendered by him
to Great Britain or In this direction, or
any aunlsilon by 'him that Great Britain
now possesses any rUhts In Centra!
America, especially In Nlcmv-tua. would
only intensify ine .nwi-icun spun
thrninrfiout this country, wnicn woum
come to the front wh-.m he could no
longer obstruct It. Tills, and this only,
Is tho crisis for which, according to the
St. James Gazette, we are neaqing so
straight.

The objections urged against Indio
In the past by the large numbers who
otherwise vould have been glad to tak

been a lack of suitable accommoda

(From the San Francisco Argonaut.)
"In the heart of the great desert of
the Colorado which the Southern Pa
cific road traverses there is an oasis
called Indio, which, In our opinion, it
the sanitarium of the earth. We be
lieve, from personal investigation, that
for certain Invalids, the-e Is no spot 01.
this planet so favorable."
G. T. Stewart, M. D writes: "The
purity of the air, and the eternal sun
shine, fill one with wonder and delight.
Nature has accomplished so
much that there remains but little for
man to do. As to Its possibilities a. a
health resort, here is the most per.
feet Bunshlne, with a temperature al
ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil
for rain is an unknown factor; pure
oxygen, denpa atmosphere and pure
water. What more can be desired?
It Is the place, above all others, for

sufferers who have been cured, I have
no hesitancy In recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict
