From the Boe'oo Globe.

A sane and souud philosopher, Mr Frederic Harrison declares in a letter to the London News that Great Britain's innhliltv to conauer the Boers ia "not only ruining, humiliating and making us odious as a nation, but Is making us the laushing-Btock of the world."

Albany is proud ol hor educational institutions. They are pioressive, up-to-date schools, and speak for tbe inter est of our citizens in a high grade of ad vancement along these linee. We should give our schools the best support we have. Some of the editors attending the But fjlo exposition wouldn't know a stick from a broom handle. In fact they never saw the inside of a print shop, ex uept when they entered to Bponge a newspaper. Several excellent collogue in Oregon not run by igovernmant favoiiteiem would appreciate a liberal donation from Borne of the wealthy men of the east having money to give to good purposes. An en dowment of $100,000 for Albany college would fall into first class hands, and would advance the cause of education in a material manner. A good name ia a very valuable thing, but that ia no excuee for rushing off into a libel or Blander suit every time gome thing mean ia eaid about you. Blander and libel always react naturally against tbe slanderer or libeller. If your neigh bor saye Bomeihing mean about you send him your complimente, and invite him to keep it up, It may be sort of disagree able , but in the end it will level tbe slanderer to the ground more than any suit can do. 2From the London Times.

Some time ago a statement was sent forth from this city to the effect that our trade with Cuba was lulling ofi. Figures wore given which supported the assertion and there seemed to be little doubt ol t' is accur acy. Then came an official stateim-nt declaring that Cuba's lose of trade with the United Statos and the increase of that with Kurope, was only apparent, arising from the fact that less money bad been sent to Cuba this year than Inst year for the payment ol troops. This statement, being plausible, wae generally accepted. Now, however, comes an official recoid given out by the insular division of the War Department, from which it appears that during the llrBt ton months of the present fiscal year, merchandise not money, but mer chandise was imported into Cuba from the United States to the value of ?23,. 853.90S, as compared with 21,352,-119 for the same period of last year. The im ports from Europe were $23,403,001, as compared with 21,420,434. The exports from Cuba to .European countries were $10,57 1,432 for the ton months of this year and were only $l,5CS,618 for the same period ol Inst year. To the United States Cuba exported $20,424,298 this year, nuainst ?35,S62,905 for the ten months of 1000. From these flguies it will be scon that while Cuba's exports to Kurope advanced (0.005,035, those to the United States have receded ((i,43S, 007. According to the Insular bureau the apparent large increase In value of exports to Europe and the decrease In exports to the United Stat93 Is accounted for in part by the faot that in the early period of 1000 many shipments of to bacco for Kurope were consigned to New York lor re-exportation, the fact ol the "' unon oeing omer man tbe '""aiion snown in ttie original con- .ignmem not nemg reported. uowov.r, uuos ooi noi ueg.n to Saturday Night Thoughts.

V Tbe public schools are closest to tbe people of all schools, for it is in tbem tbat the education is secured that fits boys and girls for the active duties of life, the common every day affairs. Hence the pulse beat of tbe people is with that of tbe pupile in tbe public schools. Albany people ebow their ap preciation ot all our schools in a credit able manner. This ib eminently a school city, and we are fortunate in having cu schools in eucb excellent hands, and on as good a foundation as they are.

"They've captured Agulnaldo." "Captured who?" "Aguinaldo." "What's he been doing?" "Killing folks." (Excitedly.) "Who has he killed?" "Oh, lots of people." "Where ie the scoundrel ?" "He'a in jail.' (More excited.) Let'e get a crowd and lynch him." "It would be too expensive." "Expensive! What's going to make It expensive?" "He's too far off." ' "Why, ain't he in Moultrie Jail?" "Not a bit of It." "Well, where ij he thon?" "He's in jail at Manila." 'You mean Camilla, don't vou?'1, "No, I mean what I say." "How far iB ii?" "About 8,000 miles."

For one thing, it is ascertained that tbe ear con tinues to grow in the latter decadeB of ale in fact, it appears never to Blon growing until death. A woman who baa Bmiill shell-like ears at twenty years ol age will be very apt to possesa niedl' urn-sized ears at forty years and large ears at sixty.

Tbe Oregonian says : "A written con- stitution ia a useful instrument ; but tbe rea constitution of any country is tbe public conscience of the nation." What the "public conscience of a nation" i, needs to be defined, Tbe Oregonian very unwittingly avoids defining it. But that paper meana to Bay that the Su preme Court ol the United Statea has a superior standard to be governed by in making it', decisions thau the coostitu tion. It would have us believe that there is a higher authority for tbe court to consult than the written constitution ot the country. This higher authority it calls the "public conscience of the na tion." This Inevitably follows tbe Brit ish Bcheme ol imperialism now bo indus triously being put forward by the Mc Kinley administration In tbe country. But why should the Supreme Court be the trammeled by constitutional restrict ions and limitations in view of tbe fact I hut tbat auguet'body has but recently drcreed tbat congreaa cm govern tbe Philippines and Porto Rico unrestrained by any constitutional limitations, exer oiBing monarchial power outside tbe con stitution. Tbe Oregonian'd position is tli ib : When there is disagreement be tween the provisions of our written con stitution and "the public conscience of nation," (whatever that is,) then the Supreme Court or Congress, or the Presi dent, must obey tbe dictetes of the "pub ic conscience" rather than the provis ions nf our writlen constitution. What ia tbis "public concience?" It can not be tbe wil of tbe people for tbe eupreme court bas had no means of knowing what tbat will is. There is but one an swer to tbe question and tbat ia that is this "public conaience" ia no more, nor lesa, than tbe will of the truete, syndi cates, combines and corporations tbat now rule tbe McKinley administration with a rod of iron. TbiB teaching of the,Oregonian is of tbe moat dangerous sort, and no wonder that even republicans are to be found who denounce it aa political heresy and bordering on treaeon. Tbe truth ia that tbe decision of a majority of the supreme court in tbe island cases iB absolutely in dispensible and thousands of sober thinking republican leaders are amazed at tbe rapid strides into im perialism now being made by the ad ministration. Justice Harlan who dis sented from tbe decision and who is tbe profoundest andjbeat republican, by far, oa tbe bench, gives earnest expression to the intense feelings of a staggered pa triot when he says: "I take leave to say tbat if the princi -pies now announced ebould eyer receive tbe sanction of a majority of tbia court, tbe result will be a. radical and mis chievous change in our Bystem of government. We will, in tbat event, pasa from tbe era of conatitutional lib erty, guarded and protected by a written Constitution, Into an era of legislative abolutism, in respect of many rights that are dear to all peoples who love freedom. In my opinion, Congress has no exist ence and can exercise no authority out side ot the Constitution. Still lees is it true that Congress can deal with new territories just, aa other nations have done or may do with their own terri tories. This nation is under the control of a written Constitution, which is the supreme law ol the land nnd the only source ot the powers which our govern ment or any branch or officer ol it mny exercise at any time or at any place. The idea that tbia coun ac quire territories anywhere upon tbe earth by conquest or treaty and hold them as mere colonies or provinces, is wholly inconsieteut with the spirit and genius, us well aa with the words of tbe Constitution, It will be an evil day for the American liberty if the theo-y of a government; outside the supreme law ol the land finds lodgment in our constitutional junspru- J deuce." That paper further eaya: "Liberty ia dependent on tbe eocially adaptive end creative power ol tho nation, not on any written constitution." Tbia is absurd an argument tbat might consistently have been made, and Was made in fact by George tbe Third when attempting to coerce the American colonies ln'o Bub jectiou, He attempted to convince the colonists that his conscience (tbe "public conscience of the nation") was the in telligent and Bacred custod'an and guar dian angel of their liberties, but their experience taught tbem that George the Third was an enemy of liberty aa those are who now tench that the liberty of American citizens ia not dependent on tbe constitution. Tbe pointed and direct war to make the statement is, that the liberty of tbe American citizen is fully provided for and guaranteed by the var ioue provieions, limitations and restric tions of Ihe constitution of the United Statea and is wholly dependent upon a full, vigorouB, and complete enforcement of all the provisions of that matchless organic law. 3o far aa American citizens are con cerned, they now bave libetty, and will retain it if those in authority will not de prive them ol it in an abrogation of the constitution.
