An Inconsistent Czar.
The Czar is using his best efforts ti
prevent war between France and Ger
many. This is splendid of the Czar.
This man who didn't even try to make
peace between hisown;country and Ja
pan stepping in and using his efforts to
prevent war between France and Ger
many is good. The war in which he
himself was engaged could have been
prevented by the use of a grain of good
sense and judgment on his part, but he
pigheadedly rushed into the breach.
now he wants to get a name as peace
maker and he is butting in. The C:'.ar
a few years ago took the lead in secur
ing the peace conference at The Hague
and there was almost a halo around his
head, but when his own affairs came he
defied and said he would do as he
pleased, and he did. He is the worst
old hypocrite in the world and someone
should hit him a diplomatic whack in
the nose. It is all right sometimes for
nations to but in, but it makes one
tropical for Russia to pose as a peace
maker before the blood is cold in her
own uncalled for war.
A Kate Bill Feature.
One of the features of the pending
rate bill that the railroads fear more
than the actual fact of rate legislation
is, according co Congressman Esch of
Esch-Townsond Bill fame, the publicity
that will attach to their business if the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
really allowed to go after their books
and air a few facts about their ac
counts. Of course there are some fea
tures of every business that may pro
perly be regarded as trade secrets and
some on wnicn tne very successor ine.

The Chines i Trouble
It is pleasing to note that the
trouble between the United States and
China is being amicably settled. Thi
is entirely proper. The Chinese gov
ernment seems to be doing what it can
to settle the Boxer animosity. The
Boxers are a troublesome gang of Mon
golians, Molly Maguires, who try to
run things themselves, and are not
easily handled by the general govern
ment, which is a sleepy concern to say
the least, hence the extent of the
trouble before anything could be done.
Our missionaries in China are entit
led to protection the same.as the Celes
tial is in this country. He gets it too.
Everywhere in the United States, as
much as the feeling may be against the
personality of the Chinaman, he is pro
tected and is as safe on the streets as
ment should give our people the same
protection in wuna. it will no doubt
to the best of its very poor ability.

Ihe Woolen Mill Project
For sometime the woolen mill pro-

"The president of the republic must
be transported on public business at .
the expense of the railroads. That is 1
the law, and the service entails no kind '
of obligation on the president's part.
Even if the companies were to furnish
him with a special train of beautiful
cars, that would mean nothing, because
they are obliged to transport him with
their best devices anyway."
Ohio, supposed to bo the center of
civilization, the state which generally
w.ints to furnish the presidential tim
ber, is having a race war. But these
race wars are really generally local af
fairs that pop up in the night and the
deed is done, tho blood shed and the
agony on before anything can be done
to stop it.

Very Artistic.
The Democrat has just received
from Sunset an artistic pamphlet en
titled: The Road of a Thousand Won
ders, giving illustrations, with short
sketches of the country along the
Southern Pacific from I,os Angolos to
Portland. It is one of the finest things
ever gotten out by the railroad, and while
Oregon comes in for only a small tail
end. the production must be apprecir.t
ed here by every one securing it for its
beauty and Arrangement,
Saturday Nleht Thoughts.
Considerable interest has been man
ifested in the pending trouble between
the United States and China on account
ot the atrocities of the Boxers in thoir
treatment of our missionaries. While
there has been a cloud as a matter of
fact back of it all there is probably
nothing serious. The Chinese govern
ment has. shown itself willing to do
anything possible to make amends for
the lives taken and the property de
stroyed. A presidential campaign is
approaching, and it is about time for
the jingo racket to be sprung on the
people, in order to make some of the
voters think it is necessary to keep the
present war party in power. There
may be something in this. It will not
be surprising if the government does
order in readiness a large number of
soldiers, for the spirit of the day seen s
to be to make a showing.
Congress as usual has done nothing
of importance. Three prominent mea
sures suggested by the President have
Deen Killed; the .Philippine tanlt bill,
the statehood bill and the Santo Do-
ine treaty- U is said to be Possible
a rate oiu as amenuea Dy roraKer
may pass the Senate, but if it does the
chances are it will be disfigured in the
interest of the railroads. The Senate
is manifestly a trust body, and nothing
good can ever be expected from it.
Back in Ohio a race war has been in
progress this week with considerable
rioting going on, even in that state of
intense civilization. But blood is thick
er than water, and it doesn't take much
to set the corpuscles jumping, whether
in me ounny soutn or tne enmy nortn.
After all people are a good deal the
.the state, and, further than that,
against the interests of other sections.
Such charges are easy, and are of a
character made against other cities
generally throughout the world. As-
toria, which seems to feel the worst,
more quickly than any other city is al-
ways ready to jump on her smaller
neighbors. But it is in the nature of
things for every city to work for it
self. It sometimes looks as if Port
land was a little the biggest hog, but
the county seats of the valley, like Al-
bany, are frequently accused in the
same way by their smaller neighbors of
being porkers. So it goes down to the
cross roads post office. Tho moral is
that every city to progress must get in
and austle for itself. There should be
a friendly feeling between cities, and
there should be no mud throwing, but
it may be depended upon that the city
that gets there has to do it on its own
merits whether big or little,
rule is to live and let live.
