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l.ution laws were repealed and tin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

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.

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,

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

It seems to me that all these lights
are not ncccsssary." Senator Patter

replied : "This appropriation has to

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.
