Oii' the question, .of intervention
the Baltimore American say: It
is a question of justice with the
American people, not a mere ques
tion of dollars and cents. If they
had been moved by questions of
trade and commerce they would
have long since found justification
for intervention and long since
have intervened; for. the war has
cut a flourishing commerce be
tween the United States and Cuba
down to a mere shadow of its for
mer self. But to protect mere self
ish and property interests the
American ; people have not felt
called upon to intervene. It is to
save life, out of regard for the well
being and happiness of our fellow
men, from a purpose to alleviate
the sufferings in Cuba, to save the
helpless in Cuba from the contin
ued scourge' of war and famine that
now stalks over the island that the
American people purpose to inter
vene. It is a high and worthy
purpose, a purpose that should be
commended everywhere, a purpose
that should be disapproved by no
Christian, man, whether prince or
peasant. ' ,
Maryland is the latest state
which has undertaken to abolish
department stores. The Illinois
legislature tried to get up a bill
some time ago, but after striking
various difficulties which lay in the
way, the effort was abandoned.
The bill before the Maryland legis
lature proposes . to .revise the lic
ense laws of the city of Baltimore,
making it necessary to take out a
separate license for certain specified
classes ot goods and prohibiting
the giving of more than one license
to one man or corporation for one
store or place of business. Inter
viewu with some of the Baltimore
business men who are not person
ally interested show that the more
conservative of them doubt the
wirdom of the legislation and it
will probably be defeated.
. The white winged angel of peace
no longer hovers over the land. A
spirit of war permeates the very
atmosphere - that nothing will
check. Never before'in the histo
ry of the government have the peo
ple been so unanimous in favor of
forcing hostilities 1 with a, foreign
nation. When the war of ,1812 oc
curred there was a strong anti-war
sentiment! and wtjen. thcTupture
between America and Great - Brit
ain. was known to ;be inevitable it
was a question if 'the' administra
tion would be sustained. The same
was true when, hostilities began to
develope with Mexico'But now
the sentiment is alrn'oat universal
in favor of reconi'tiinig' . the . lude-
penuence pi vuua,, ;crpjcn js ..n ei
feet, a declaration, of war with
Spain. Hs j i ..!? wM '. i
Spokane jobbers have taken ac
tion on the question' of pay ing bills
through personal checks and in a
, circular addressed to dealers, make
the annpuncemeat .that hereafter
the cost of collection on such remit
tances will be charged up to the
dealers' account. The subject has
attracted', the , attention of , the
wholesale houses in many sections,
and various plans have been tried
to induce country merchants to re
mit in exchange. s
Uncle Sam has a white ele
phant on his bands in the shape of:
a hundred or more reindeer. The
purchasing of these reindeer in the
first place was a school boy act, in
fact all actions of the war depart
ment in sending supplies to the
Klondike were but little better. " i
With the construction of the
various branches upon which work
is in progress or projected, the IV
louse country will soon be a net
work of railroads. The Northern
Pacific and 0. R. & X. are actively
engaged in the getting in on the
groundfloor in the vicinity of
Lewiston, Idaho, and the rumor
now comes that the N. P. contem
plates an extension from Garfield
to Colfax, parallelling the O. R. it
N. in that rich territory.
Desertions of government land
within the gieat forestry reserves
ofWeBtern Washington have al
ready commenced, and unless re
lief is obtained at the present ses
sion of congiess serious results
from the monumental error of re
moving these great tracts from the
territory open to settlement will
come.
It is not improbable that there
will be two republican state tickets
in the field soon after the Astoria
convention. The faction that gets
downed will not take defeat com
placently orgracefully.
POLITICAL CHAFF. ,'.
Hon. 0. W. Rigby is in politics.;
He wants to be state treasurer and
thinks his chances for the nomina
tion are becoming brighter every
day. From Mr. Rigby's conversa
tion a Press representative infers
that Wright, of Union county, is
the molehill in the way. of Mr.
Rigby's political aspirations, and
that Alexander, of Pendleton,
stands but little show of receiving
the nomination. . . .
A great contest between Mitchell
ism and the people has been in
progress in the county during the
past few weeks and culminated
Wednesday in victory for the peo
ple. It is reasonably safe now to
suppose that Umatilla county is
done with Mr. Mitchell and his
entire "push." Let us pray .--Milton
Eagle.
" ' s
The largest primary ever held
in the East End was that of the
republicans for South Milton pre
cinct last Saturday. Two well de
fined factions were arrayed against
each other and every available re
publican was called upon to take
sides with one or the other. It was
simply a fight on he one hand for
clean politics and the best interests
of the community, and on the
other to gratify personal ambition.
As usual the people s champions
won by a handsome majority.
Milton Eagle.
C. A. Barrett, of this city, does
not hesitate to 'say that he us a
candidate for the office of sheriff,
subject to the confirmation ot the
Umatilla couuty republican con
vention. Mr. Barrett has been
prevailed upon by many of his ar
dent friends and warm supporters
to seek the nomination, and should
he be nominated, it is safe to say
that he would make a hard fight
for election to the ofiice.
Wallace McCamant, the well
known politician, is in La Grande,
says the Chronicle. It is said that
Mr. McCamant aspires to the re
publican c6ngressional nomination
for this district, and his visit here
is doubtless to ascertain the feeling
of local politicians in regard to the
matter. -
