An Fastem editor remarks that Speaker Heed will have but little use for the two gavels presented to him, us there are not enough democrats in the present house to create much disorder. Colombia is building in one of our shipyards a steel gunboat for service in shallow buys and rivers, with a draught of only 3 teet and a seed of fifteen knots an hour. If the Sou Hi American republics will sup ply themselves with a few dozens of these torpedo boats the big battle ships will not enjoy the prospect of backing up an ultimatum. At this moment it looks s if (len. Compos, commanding the Kpanish troops In Cuba, has an acute case of fright. At any rate, If private sol diers or puhaltcrns acted as he does they would be shot for cowardice. (Vuripos seeks to Inject courage into his otllccrs by proclamation, ordering them to olx-y commands on js nalty of being sent to Spain in disgrace in case of a refusal. Much demoraliza tion satisfactorily accounts for the presence of the Insurgents within fifteen miles of Jlavana. I'. A. ((.'Farrell, in a three-column article in Monday's Oregonian, on Anglo-Saxon civilization, declare "That for his part, he would ust as soon trace his descent from one of Dean Swift's yahoos as from an Anglo-Saxon." Well, there Is no accounting for tastes. He certainly gives an exhibition of that vlndic tiveness characteristic of that coarse creation of Ik-ail Swift's fertile but not very delicate genius. From which or w hat stock O'Farrell may have descended may be a matter ol doubt, but it is evident that the Anglo-Saxon race Is not responsible for his existence. Cape Colony is an Kuglish province in the extreme south part of Africa. North of the eastern part of Cape Colony is Transvaal, a republic ol lll,noo square miks, peopled by lloers, descendants of hardy Holland and Herman adventures. Just north of Transvaal Is a great territory with uncertain boundaries, roamed over by the servants of the Ilriti.di Char tered Commercial Company,an organ isation somewhat similar to the Hud son Day Company, that once had sway on the Columbia river and its tributaries. The Ilriliali Commercial Company lias a sort of army organi zation for protection against the Af rican natives. Oold mines of exceed ing richncsi have recently Ist-en discovered in Transvaal. This at traded hordes of foreigners, who. under liberal naturalizstiou lav., were fast becoming the ruling da in the little republic. These natural l.ution laws were repealed and tin revenue laws so modeled that tin bulk of taxes about !H) per cent was collected Irom the foreign popu latiou. The English part complained of this discrimination, and Mps-ale to the lliitish Commercial Com pan for redress. Fngland claims suzer ainty over Transvaal. Dr. Jameson, a factor of the Commercial Company, at the head ef fits) men, invaded tin territory of the Doers, who met him with a superior force, whipped him. killing some seventy, wounding as niany more, and taking the remain ing Invading force prisoners. This occurred the day before New YenrV The English government prompt I; disavowed the acts of the Commercial Company, but Emperor William, ol licrmany, sent a message congratu lating the president on the fact tbsi he had been able to rccl the Invader without calling to his assistance his outside friends. This message caused serious friction, one won I leading tc another till the tiirman government denies the su.i-rainty of England over Transvala. Thi is cause for war, and the situation is threatening in the extreme. The Venezuela matter is lost to view in this graver matter. A war between Germany ami EnglMMt w.mli be as mrlou a.i between Eugland and tl-.e United States. THE SFEEM.KS DEBATE. Senator Sherman's speech on fi nance state the republican Idea as plainly, perhapa, as It has been for mulated. However desirable It may be to retire greenbacks, at this time it would be unwise. We cannot eafely contract the currency. Fur ther, the charge that Mr. Sherman juggles with the word "coin" is no graver than the Jugglery of the gold monometalists with the words "sound money." It is folly iu the study of this question to overlook the treasury deficiencies. What the senator said about treasury shortages Is gospel truth. Of course, the elimination by the supreme court of the income tax feature of the Wilson law is immedi ately responsible for the present do- fk-it, but the adoption of this feature was in itself a blunder, which was often pointed out by the republicans during the discussion of that measure, and it is idle for Senator Vest to at tack the supreme court as be did on Tuesday last. Mr. Sherman had an easy task in pointing out the presi dent's mistake in saying that the MeKiiiley tariff was ineffective for the purpose of revenue. That law in mst of its features, went into op- eration on October 6. 1890. In the fi-wal year ending June 30, 1891, rev emu's exceeded expenditures 2t,- HIM 1,000, and the excess was (9,900,000 in the year ending June 30, 1892, and f J,:iii(l,0(H) in the year ending at that date in 1893. Then the. turning point came, and in the next twelve months the customs receipts dropped sharply, and there was a deficit of $70,000,000, But it is very easy to see that the menace which democratic victory brought was the chief cause of this shortage. The democratic platform of 1H92, the democratic candidate's letter of acceptance, and that caudi date's earlier record as president as sailed the republican tariff law, and when democratic victory came In that year that law's days were num tiered. This portentous fact unsettled trade of all sorts, cut down importa tions and brought the deficit. That endless chain of greenback with drawals of gold from the treasury did not begin to take dangerous shape until this administration and the congress which went Into existence with it created the revenue shortage, The senator had no difficulty In showing that coincidence. In repub lican days the endless chain was so harmless that comparatively few per sons knew that such a chain existed Another drawback attending demo cratic government, one which the senator did not mention, hut which, of course, he had in mind, is that no considerable body of the people any where has any confidence in demo cratic management of national affairs, Most of the men whose votes turned the scale in favor of the democracy in 1892 were prompted by a tempo rary resentment toward the republi can party, and doubtless regretted their act very soon after they com mitted it. The business interests in general have for many years past had a supremo distrust of the democracy, and a triumph for that party is thus reasonably certain alwajs to bring calamity to the country; The success of the Cuban insurgents is amazing. How an unorganized band of miscellaneous population, without proper arms and equipments, has been able to make progress against an organized army, is past comprehension, except upon the hyiMithesis that our western life fits men for individual action, while Eu ropean soldiers can do nothing ex eept as masses. The experience of an ( iregon volunteer in a l'hiladcl phia regiment in our rebellion is in point. He said the regiment In battle, as a unit, was gallant, brave, invincible; but, if scattered, the men had no personal resources. They were utterly bewildered and cast down. On the other hand, Ohio, Il linois or Wisconsin regiments fought as well as individuals as they did in musses. t'OMIXU TO KXOW VS. The Hritish public have never hail in accurate acquaintance with Amer ica, though they thought they had. Unfortunately, their information has been, till quite recently, leached through the New York Post, that re- Meets only English sentiment. No American public opinion finds lodg ment in its columns. Itecently, how ever, two of the leading Loudon papers have sent special corresjsind ents to America, who have learned something of American views, and have been writing home facts thai more nearly jcprcsents the state ol public opinion here. The London Chronicle correspondent has this par agraph, that is as near a correct anal ysis of American feeling as can la ex peeted of a stranger: "I can Affirm positively that the American government Is above everything anxious for arbitration. Whatever may have been its actual reqm-st, the intent of President Cleveland's message whs amicable. The close en tourage of the president to-day si out i the id. a that it was not a message of peace; but behind It has sprung up a national sentiment which wool I Is? utter madness on the part i f t le English eople to dis regard or un lerestiniatc. The Mon ne doctrine is not worth discursing. All the learned pamphlets, the pro feasors' opinions, the newspaper dis cussions of It, are labor I-!. The fact is that, if Venezuela fines not come within the four corners ol the Moiirne doctrine, then the new doe trine theOlney doctrine covers It, and American opinion overwhelm ingly favors it general principles. Moreover, Aaioriea demands arbitra- tion as a sacred right, and for this she will fight, if needful." In another place, though, the cor resKndent allow himself to enter tain error. He asserts that there is a "cleavage" between the East and the West. Without pointing out the ex act location, he leaves us to Infer that the Alleghaney mountains is the seam. There may be different thought upon some matters of domes tic administration, but as to Englaud there is no division. England ought to remember that some people, in i860, thought thero was a line of cleavage by the Mason A Dixon line, but it was not permanent. English men, if they push us to extremities, will find us a united people, O TIlEJt Lli VOJt KEO L'LA TOX.S Political prohibition has not been a succet". Indeed, there are many who positively declare that the pro hibition party has been au injury to the cause of temperance, lie that true or not, it is a fact that legally recognizing the traffic and regulating it has diminished the number of men who drink to gross intoxication. This is true of the largo cities as well as of the smaller towns. Compare last New Year's with fifty years ago and note the difference in the number of drunken men. When the traffic was free there were dozens of places in a town of this size where lutoxi. cants could be had, and they were bought and carried far out into the country. Men became drunken as a consequence. It was not so last week. There was no one here who had to be steadied. The admission is willingly made that whiskey was drunk too much, but not so much as there would be, were all the regu lations that now surround the bus ness removed. If some regulation is thus effective, more would be beneficial. Iu a conversation with a gentle man, a few days ago, who Is ac qnainted with the saloon business, because he is in it, he said he would favor appointing an Inspector whose duty should be to make monthly visits to drinking places and insect the liquors kept lor sale. If he found any that was adulterated, lie should confiscate it and revoke the license of the dealer. In further reg ulation, he would prohibit card play ing for amusement or for the drinks, as well as dice throwing. No game or games of chance should be (sennit- led on the premises. In place of these occupations for the lounger, he would provide reading matter in the shape of daily newspapers and maga zines. He would, further, close all drinking places on Sunday the side door even to be bolted on the inside. Such regulation, by removing games would do more to promote temper ance than the strongest prohibition vote that has yet been polled. At any rate, it Is worthy of thought and of trial, and the reform couucil, so gleefully elected last month, can find work on which to exercise its genius. Mb AXD PITS. The Oregonian very frequently puts the rest of us In a hole and tramples upon us after we are there, but he seldom digs a pit for his own feet, but when the last legislature is taken to task for Its electric light ap propriation, the Oregonian scoops out a little cavity in which it ought to nestle. Ever since that paper's can- didate for U. 8. senator was defeated, the legislature of 1895 has not been a favorite. But the big organ ought to con its history lesson better. What ever the joint session might door not do in the senatorial contest, no fault should be found with the legislative acts for the On'gonian's friends had complete control of the state senate, and could have defeated that '10,000 item for light as far as majorities go. The house, our friends, tried to do it, hut found it was not a question of majorities, but of a contract. It is this way. Some years ago, when the science of electric lighting was yet young, a contract was made with a Salem company to illuminate the state buildings. The service was bad, and very unsatisfoctory, so that at the 1893 session one of the Oregonlan's white sessionst there was no U. S. senator that year the contract with the old company, that had five years to run, was cancelled by the state paying 9,000. A new contract was entered Into with the present com pany for a term of ten years. It is proper to state here that Pennoyer, the economical, was then governor; that the president of the Electric Light C i. made several Saturday afternoon trips to Portland, the Ore gonian's own city, with the members of the 1893 legislature, though it is not on record that there were any banquets eaten at the Portland hotel. Therefore, the 1895 appropriation was made to meet the terms of the 1893 contract. The legislatures of 1897 and 1899 will make the same appropriations. Then another ap propriation for privilege of can' elllng contract will be In order. See? Is there light enough? Hut this l-rings to mind a little story : When the 1895 appropriation bill reached the senate. Senator Denny, of Multnomah, pointing to the lighted Items, .poke something ttmn the tariff Mil. It would he bet like this: "Mf. President, it seems i ter still to let the roinafo measure to me there isa prodigal provision here for lights. It is more than lib eral to appropriate for Capitol building 9,20(1 2,o!H) 4,7imi 11.6.V) a,.i(H) 4,2-'sO School for deaf mutes State reform school..., State Insane asylum . Asylum cottages State penitentiary and here is for the School for the blind..., I 2,200! In ill... If thin t M,6nft 1 a Joke, it 1st furry one. It seems to me that all these lights are not ncccsssary." Senator Patter son, of Marion, unliru bored, and thus replied : "This appropriation has to be made in pursuance of a contract executed by the last legislature, I am not rrsnsible for it. I wa not here. 1 did not vote for it. The gentleman from Multnomah voted for it. lie now his to vote fur this appropriation." A gentleman pres ent states that Senator Deuuy drop ped into his seat like an unstarched rag. It is only fair to the senator to say that he ill 1 not vot i for the 1893 bill, though he evidently thought he did. He was ab-teut at the time. Dut the other senators from Mul nomah did, and they were and are the Ore- gonian's friends. El ONO.H X W It tiOBM. EltlToR jI.lKI'tNDENT: If the prosect of a tax levy In the city ol Portland of 30 mills has, as one must infer from reading the Oregonian, stirred up the overburdened tax payers of that city to threatened re sistance to Its collection when levied, what must we exjvect from threatened levy In Washington coun ty, exclusive of city, town and sM8-ial school taxes of 10 to 18 mills, Those taxes which we are informed in the town ofllillshoro arecxected to amount to 20 mills more, will Ix practical confiscation of many of the small homes in this city. In other towns and cities the con ditions are no better. Many s-rsons in Hush times bought lots and acre plats and built them plain, though comfortable homes. In too many cases they mortgaged these homes for a part of purchase price and cost of impiovements. On this indebted ness they are paying 10 per tent interest. In the present hard times it requires the most Mrenuous.efTorts to keep down this interest, and now they are paralyzed by,itheexsecta- tion of a tax of from 3 J to 4 per cent on the assessed valuation of their property. -Many or tlie farmers are In no better condition. Their farms are mortgaged in mus cases for a part of tlie purchase price, or for cost ef improvements to make their new homes, in many cases on land hith erto in a wild state, habitable. The market for products raised on these farms is at the lowest point, and tlie gross proceeds will scarcely pay the interest on the indebtedness and the heavy tax proposed. How, then, are these taxpayers to live? The pittance left after paying interest and such taxes will not l sufficient, and the only way to stave off starva tion and bankruptcy Is by borrowing more money at usurious interest, and this will only delay the catastro phe. Well, we are coldly told "this cannot bo helped. Money is needed to pay expeuses and these taxpayers should have kept out of debt." These taxpayers, misled by the good times, incurred liabilities that the result showed should have been avoided. Times were gixnt and this was some excuse. There should' be none now. Neither Is there any good reason why county, city and other authorities should indulge in expenditures for Improvement, much as they may be needed, unless the necessity for such expenditures can not lie avoided. Farmers and home builders who are in debt at such a time as the present, do not make improvements. All they can safely do is to keep the improvements iu good repair. Many can not do this. The city, county and other authori ties that are too much prone to use the money wrung from the taxpayer, too liberally, should do no more. If this rigiil economy shall be the rule with county authorities of Washing ton county, the levy for county pur poses can be reduced from two to three mills below that of last year, and a like reductiou can le made in that now claimed to be necessary in the city and school taxes. The county authorities have made many valuable, meded improve ments during the last year, but the taxpayers need some relief and it lies witli these authorities to give it. Never in the history of Washington county has this need heen so pressing. The curtailment of what they con sider iie-e.ssary excuses among the larger part of the eope of this county who pay tlie taxes, during the past year, has Is-en on an average at least oO per cent. Ixt the county authorities he equally economical and the reduction iu the levy herein before suggested, can easily be made, Governed by intelligent business principles, an equal reduction inn be made in city taxes. I.et us hope that the necessities and wishes of the taxpayers will receive due consideration when the next levy is made.. If this hope is not disappointed, the burden, though heavy at the best, w ill be patiently borne. Taxpayer. The rrpuhlirun sonatorn urcfiiuoua. wg tin the lioue tariff hill.
