The character of tbe case made by tbe Oregonian against protective tariff ou Imports from Porto Kico and tbe Philip pines presaged defeat from the begin ning. Tbat paper opened tbe attack by declaring tbat greed and selfishness were tbe Inspiring, motives actuating those who faored tbe tariff legislation, and tbe cbarge was true in every respect. To offset tbe plea for tbe tariff tbat paper bad only to take grouude tbat were not inspired by a spirit of greed, fbis it could have dooe and wiib success as sured beyond question. But It neglected and refused to do to, and bence lost its case, for tbe tariff lair lias been fastened upon the'necicB of tbe Porto Ricens and it will just as certainly be fastened upon te necks of tbe Filipinos, the Ore- gonian'a reason's. why vie tbould have free trade with ti e islands (Poitu Rico and tbe Philippine?) are just as selfish, and imbued with the spirit cf greed to as great an extent as are tbe reasons ol tbose who favored the tariff . In Febru ary tbat paper declaied with great earn estness that "if they (tbe protectionists) are to have their way about tbe tariff tbey may as well succeed. We have lit tle business in tbe Philippines any long' er now, unless it is to be a paying in vestment. If we are going to encourage trade between ihem and our homo ports, open our markets to them and their markets to us, well and good. Then there is a great future for us on the Pa cific ocean ! but if he profile of trade are to be cut off by the prohibit. v tariffs, we do not.'want the islands." This is tlieiOretonian's case in a nut shell. The riader will observe tbat tbere !u not a single hint here about the legal and constitutional rights and im. munities of the inlands. Tbe question whether tbey are entitled to same prlvi leges, rights and immunities 'which are voucneafed to the people of other terri lories of the United Stales, or whether tbe islands are to be held as vaBeal col onies, is not even hinted at by tbe Ore gonian ; but the selfish gieed of profit in trade is tbe only motive that seems to inspire that paper in its contention that tbe United Statue should hold the is lands. Its case ie nostionger than tbat cf tbe protectionists, and neither case is worthy of consideration by men who love oonetitut'opal liberty and who ere desirous of doing tbe riiiht thing in.'the eyes of the world. The Oregonian has insisted that to impose a tariff duty on imports from Porto llico and the Philip pines would be worse treatment than Spain gave them and it declared: "If we are going to deal worse with these new islands than Spun dealt with them it will hi money in our pockets and lus ter on our name to get rid of. them." Now, bow are thinking people to re gard this aUit nie of tho Oregon'an in view of the fart that congress has Im. posed tbe duly upon Porto R'oo imports, and will inevitably do so as to the Philippines.

Ask your local editor whether (he paper trust has advanced tbe price of printing paper, and then pay close attention to what be says . Bryan has evsented to visit Chicago and participate in the Dewey celehration on May 1. We will wager something tbat Dewey will d'scover that he is attending a Bryan celebration on tbat oicasion. Republican politicans now freely admit tbat nothing can sae he party from de feat unless tbe president can be induced to make some sort of a "grandstand" play in favor of the Boers on the eve of election in the nope of winning some of tbe Ger man vote who tmva left thi party on the issue of imperialism They realize tbat it will be necessary for th; president to enter into some Bort of an understanding with England tbat whatever may be said is purely for political purposes and for the purpose of continuine the Anglo-Ameri can secret alliance that now exis's. But it is doul :ul if England can afford to agree to any such move as the whole world CO' demns her policy in South Afri ca. General Roberts net had too raaov boles in it, too bin lo bold Boers. Some genius has figured out that tbe war in South Africa is coeting England f750 a minute. By all meane register. It is the only way to vote, and the man ie a clara wbo doesn't wish to vcte. ' The Philippine elephant continues to grow in siz. It is big enough for tbe biters G. 0. P. to be discerned. Tbe load Is a heavy one to carry. Mr. Tongue is making things worse by trying to explain bis vote for the Porto Rican tariff bill There is no explana tion that will eatisfy the maBseB. An unconstitutional act can't he explained away, The people want the Nicaragua canal, but will that help things these imperial istic days- Tbe people wanted tbe Porto Rinaua treated somewhat like tbe rest of the inhabitants of the United States, but that ib all tbe good it did. Mr. Hauna b.-at Mr. Quay for sen.itor and now Mr. Quay's friends will defeat Mr. Hanoi's subsidy bill, the biggest gralt before congreBs.

Politics will not get so warm that we cannot Iflnd epace to congratulate tbe people of western Oregon on the foothold the croamery business ie getting here. It has come to stay. Forty cent wheat has opened the eyes of the people to ti e necessity ot diveraified farming and in this connection the creamery fits in like the bark on a true.

Senator Plan's resolution tbat the in surrection in tbe Philippines bad been overcome, appeared in tbe newspapers side by side with accounts of two desper ate altaos made on our troopa by tie "overcome" insurgents. Tbe report tbat Bryan is thinking 0 moving to Texas must be Incorrect, as it ie well Known tbat be Ib meditatiog on a move to Washington. This will be Dewey's second summer, and everyone knows that second cum mere are bard on babiea and heroes. What ie tbe difference between Kan sas City and Philadelphia? One bae 'balls to burn and tbe other bas no funds to burn . Now that gold bas been found in the Philippines, it will be impossible for the United States to try to govern it as a erown colony without the nek of having a war with Great Britain to settle tbe rights of her subjects tbere. The republicans object to .the word "imperialism" aa applied to tbe policy of the government towards tbe new pog aesions. But if it isn't Imperialism, wbatisit? Tbetssenca of Imperialism is tbe government of subject peoples witbout a voive in their own control by aliens. It Is not only in regard to Porto Eico that President ;McKinley bas changed front. He once raid tbat there would be no backward step in civil service re. fir m be took one. He declared that a war of conquest wculd be criml" nal aggression but be is waging one. Wbo would have thought tbat Britain needed tbe aid of Portugal to try to de feat the Boers? It is now asserted tbat tbe Duke d'Ar cos was tbe only ciplou at wbo (was in vited to tbe Chicago Manila Day cele bra ion. If thialproves true some one should be puniBhed for this inezcueable insult. If Adam bad tried to run for the Presidency and. bad slipped up, it's ten to ore he would have blamed It on his wife. Tbat ie man's nature. Will Dewey; answer tbe query ad' UreBaed to aim in the name of tbe dem. -ocratio national committee, asking whether he intends to support the can didate of the party in caee be himself is not nominated? Unless be does bis name should not be considered at all. Common honesty requires such a pledge from him. We don't want to be considered carp ing, but we would really like to be in formed bow a'man can be guilty of trea son or reoellion against the constitution which ieJesp.'iBsly declared not to ex tend to him. Senator Unnna'e declaration that Dew ey should have announced hie candidacy on April Fool's day will not appeal to the country, which will resent the coarseness of this slur upon a great man. Will the republicans reduce taxes? We trow not. Kith $130,000,000 to lend out witbout intereBt among favored banks for the next year, the Q.O. P. will never want for campaign funds . Why doesn't the Senate lake a leaf out of the book of the House and resolve in favor of the direct election of repre sentatives by the people, ins'ead of by means of contest proceedings in which the democrats invariably get the worBt ol it. It ia a lit' le cuiioua that both O U and Roberts protest that they have the ene my just where they want bim, but both add tbat it isn't quite safe nor advisable for ladies to visit the country just at present. It is a littlo puzzling 'to undeistand why the administration is preventing action on the Nicaragua Cann bill at this session of Congress, but perfectly plain tbat it is doing so, through its agents in both House and Senate, There ie some thing behind tie desire to postpone this legislation, which baa been endoised by all the politics! partUs and by the public sentiment of the country as well. Of course, Mr. McKinley ien'topenly antaj on iziog the Canal bill, but it waB admin istration Senators who voted down Sen ator Morgan's motion to take up the Canal bill, and it lias beenadminietration Representatives who have headed off Representative Hepburn's several at tempts to get a date set for its conaidera tion by the House.

SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS Tbis week bas seen tbe English and Boers at close quarters, but without any general engagement. ' A " small battle was in favor of tbe Boers. The general plans and Jmovemente of tbe soldiers though undoubtedly indicate an English victory in the future. The : a Pre toria, and Iwhen tbe English reach that city it will mean a long siege and fierce fighting before li e Boers are con quered , Aouther peace commission mLht well meet al Hague and talk of the beauty of psace betweeo nations and provide for plans for securing tbe tettlement of all matters of difference where nations die. agree. War is an outiage to civilization nd tbe people of tbe world should speak against it. Imports continue to come from tbe Philippines of fighting tbere between our eoldieiB and the Filipinos, and while onr losses are comparatively imall, mm from our ranks are continually picked off, besides many die from diseaee or go crazy. Tbe situation ia not a pleant one to contemplate, and yet the matter is oue we will probably have on onr hands hereafter, with a continual con tention wilh the natives. Tbe approach of the taking of the cen' B is is a matter of interest to everybody The machinery of tbe business is itself something of moment. Tbe preliminary work up to the taking of the census it self is as neceesary as the work of enum eration, elee It will not be done well nor correctly. Tbere Is considerable in the suggestion that the department does not wish men who have takun county assess ments because people have been in tbe habit of prevaricating to them and it would be embarrassing to them to report agai n to tbe same men in an entirely different case. When the census is tak en it is the custom for the person to give the amount of his property juet aB small as pcB3ible, whereas tbe government wants the exact facts, In order to make a better showing for tbe city, eounty or state. One aoesn'c need a glaee in order to see the point, and ap. predate the position of the government in making appointmenta. The machin ery is all oiled with a view oi having a correct enumertion, complete in all the details.
