The foreign policy of Mr. Cleveland's administration, outside of strong parti sans, has few admirers or even support ers, and yet it has been a very fair one, appealing to the enlightened . intelli gence of the world. When the move ment to annex the Sandwich islands it was not endorsed by Mr. Cleveland or his eabnet, and this was in accordance with the spirit of free institutions. The United States has sufficient territory, and more people than it can govern well without annexing a mongrel pop ulation, who have just emerged from barbarism.'; It is true the revolution was successfully managed by American citizens; but the fact that they were born in the United States, and, at the time, owed ul egiauce to this govern ment, should be no reason for extend ing them sympathy of such a nature that would contravene the well known principles of international law. In the affair of the steamship being fired upon by a Spanish gunboat in Cuban waters prompt action was taken byMr. Gresh am, and reparation has j been made by the home government. Regarding the British landing forces at Corints to enforse the payment of an idemnity of $75,000 for a flagrant breach of inter national law and courtesy by Nicaragua the state department has gone so far as the exigencies of the case demand, and it is very evident that the incident will pass without the least injury to the in terests of the inter-oceanic canal, or the slightest infringment of the Monroe doctrine. England has a right to guarantee protection to her subjects, and in case of any injury being inflict ed upon them, to demand reparation in the shape of money indemnity. The United States has adapted the same course during a similar emergency. If permanent.occupation of any portion of Nicaraguan territory had been made by Great Britain, undoubtidly the state department would have entered a vig orous protest; but until that exigency arises the action of the British govern ment docs not concern us. In this age of the world complications between nations are to be avoided, and war should lie averted by every possible means. A contest between armies on land or navies at sea will cause dread ful loss of life to victor and vanquished, and civilization and humanity are ap palled in contemplating the possible re sults. Diplomacy is the modern means of settling international difflculties,and our relations with Great Britain or in other countries the contest will be waged more between clever diplomats than armed cruisers. The jingo policy which is advocated by many would re sult in war, which would be deplorable if we were successful, and especially with a nation with whom the most amicable relations have existed. Mr. Cleveland and his secretary of state have followed the more advisable course and ( the United States will emerge from all the entanglements with Hawaii and also with Great Britain's policy toward Nicaragua with her honor untarnished, and respected by the civilized world for her successful efforts in the direction of en during peace. Dalles Mountaineer. State Superintendent Irwin has se lected Gladstone Park, near Oregon City, as the place of meeting , of the etate teachers association, and the date, July 10th to 20th. Hood River was selected by the teachers, at the last meeting of the association, by unan imous vote, but afterwards it was found that the state superintendent had the authority, by act of the legislature, to say where the meetings should be held. It now seems the superintendent has shown his authority by selecting an other place of meeting in opposition to the expressed, wish of the teachers who attend the meetings of the association. County Superintendent Shelley's letter to the state superintendent, published iii the Glacier April 13th, showed that Hood River was selected by the teachers in1 good faith, that the teach ers had regarded the matter as settled, and everything was favorable for the meeting here. But the state superin tendent has listened to the importu nities of interested parties in other places,' where street railway companies have more influence than county su perintendents or school teachers. He has given no good reason for the selec tion of Gladstone Park. His excuse is that the Chautauqua society will meet there and that the teachers can meet with them. The fact that the associa tion will not meet at Hood River will be, a great disappointment to many teachers throughout the state who had declared their intention of coming to the meeting at Hood River. Senator Stewart of Nevada, a popu list bullionaire senator and an English man by birth, has written an open let ter to the president on the subject of England's occupation of Corinto that is intended to be very sarcastic. If Stewart is "spilin1 fora flcht" he ought to have it, and if such as he could be conscripted and sent to the front, war would be welcomed even by the old soldiers. ' ' The population of The Dalles, as f"td by County Assesor Wakefield, is .8,045 The editor of The Dalles Statesman was engaged last week in farming, moving his office and getting out a faper, and claims to have "had a ovely time." After all the comment that has been m tde over President Cleveland's course with England over the Nicaragua affair, it seems that he has been exactly cor rect. The justness of England's claim cannot be disputed, and had the United States interfered it would have been virtually the establishing of a protector ate over all the country south of us, and we would have been kept in hot water continually by the peppery Spanish re publics, who not being held responsible for their acts would have been barking at the heels of every nation in Europe. Chronicle. Christian Endeavor Items. By the County President. The following delegates from the Congregational Sunday school have been elected to attend tlie State Sun day School Association at Portland May7th-9th: Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Mc Coy, J. F. Armor, Mrs. J. L. Hersh ner, Miss Anne Smith and H. C. Bate ham. Several of them expect to go on to Salem to attend the state C. E. con vention. Father Endeavor Clark "will be pres ent at the Salem C. E. convention, May 9th-12th. This announcement of itself is enough to make every eudeav eror in the land want to attend. The programme will be a treat all the way through. There will be a meeting of the Wasco county C. E. union officers at Salem during the convention, to make final arrangements and secure speakers for the coming county convention at The Dalles. . Delegates to the Portland and Salem conventions will take tae Tuesday morning boat, have a picnic dinner at the Cascades, and arrive at Portland just in time for supper before the even ing session. rue round-trip tare to Portland is $1.25,'and from Portland to Salem probably less than $3. Free entertainment is furnished at both conventions to all delegates who desire. Delegates will be elected next Sab bath to no from the U. B. church and also from the Christian church in the valley. Delegates are requested to wear their badges and carry t tie union banners. Take a spring vacation; jou can't af ford to stay at home. Of Interest to Strawberry Growers. The Milton fruit growers ' are anxious to work in harmony with our local union and have been making in quiries as to our plan for the preseut year. , The Pacific Express company will give better rates on fruit this year than formerly. , Portland, 75 cents; Montana points, $2.25; St. Paul, Kansas City, Sioux City and Omaha, $3.50 per liun dred pounds containing 4 crates to the hundred. There will be cars placed here to be loaded carefully and run through to destination of fhe fruit without any re- handling. The cars are to be comM- nation, and can be. used veutilated or refrigerator, as is desired. The fruit picked in Walla Walla and Milton districts on Monday, for exam ple, will arrive iu the market at the same time as fruit picked iiere,ou the same date. Read the "Plau of the Frnit Growers' Union'' in another column, which is reprinted this week by request It is of interest to berry growers. H. F. Davidson, secretary of the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union, re ceived a letter from a Denver commis' sion house stating that when the ship ping season- for strawberries begins they will send a check to advance 50 cents a crate on each crate of strawber ries shipped to them. This house will take 300 crates a day. Occasional Correspondence. There seems to be considerable differ ence of opinion with regard to wind breaks. H. F. Davidson has set 180 cherry trees ten feet apart; H. C. Bate- nain, jju prune trees tour teet apart; Every Hershey, 8 Lombard poplars. There is a row of cottonwoods eight feet apart on the Heald farm, and J7N. McCoy, J. C. Wheeler and others have left groves or rows of pines which an swer the same purpose of deflecting the excessive currents of the atmosphere upward. Mr. Bateham, at Columbia nursery, has kept a record of the age at which fruit trees and plants will come into bearing in this locality. He fluds that strawberry, gooseberry, currant and raspberry will bear at one year old; prune, plurn, peach, cherry, near and grapes at two years old, while the apple, quince, etc., -often bloom freely the third year. Charley Ross has returned to Hood River after nearly a year's absence. He is stopping at the hotel, having leased his farm to Wright & Pay ton. Forthe lust six months he has 'been through considerable of the fruit section of both Oregon and Washington, but failed to find any locality where the big red ap ples can be grown ho easily and so free from diseases and pests as at Hood River. ' . The Indian creek bridge has been re plauked and the J ones hill graded dowu so as to make that crossing much better than formerly. J. C. Markley, H. F. -Davidson, R, Rand, C. A. Ross, H. C. Bateham, Axtel Rahm, J. C. Mcintosh and N.C. Evans have organized a flume company and will put in a lateral ditch from the southeast corner' of J. N. McCoy's place, to irrigate all land between Rail creek and Hood river. One hundred of the eminent lawyers, politicians and business men of the state have lately, through the columns of the Oregoniuu, given the farmers much sage advice as how to conduct their business in order to prosper. It would now seem to be the proper thing for one hundred eminent farmers to tell the lawyers and business men how conduct their business in order t risp-r. Good advice of this sort lioen.i't cost much, iiini it would be ungracious to discuss its value. Rural Northwest. Dangerous Bike. Cyclists will do well to heed the note of warning sounded by Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, who is eminent in physics, besides being an enthusiastic wheelman. He cautions ail against overwork, advising cyclists by no means to give up the wheel, but to use it temperately, avoiding long-continued exertion, trials of speed, &c. Like other muscular exercise, cycling hastens the circulation, making de mands on the heart. If overdone, instead of being the splended aid to physical development which it is so well calculated to be, it causes fatigue, wPh consequent prostration of the nervous system; and persistence in this course leads to collapse and prem ature death. "The heart gets unduly active, the arteries become unduly ex tended and the elastic tissue of the arteries and of the body generally loses its spring, and then the body becomes prematurely old and broken." These effects are in many cases intensified by the unnatural stooping position, as sumed merely for the sake of speed, which compresses the lungs and of course greatly increases the strain upon the heart. In these days, when de rangements of the heart, so grave as to cause sudden death, are so alarm ingly prevalent, it will be wise to give serious attention to this advice. Chambersburg Opinion.

In making the fill near the big bridge the force of men employed by the O. R. & N. Co. exhumed, a few days ago, a buried forest of petrified timber. This is evidence that this por tion of the country, aside from the vol canic overflow, has been filling in since, either from the washing of streams or other causes. The trees were of the poplar species which onlv thrive in moist places while the growths around .and in the gulch are pine and fir. The specimens were founu several teet un der ground, showing that they had laid in their position foreountlesscerturies. This buried forest has been visited by several persons, who have been anxious to gather pieces of the petrified sub stance as relics. Mountaineer. The Indemnity claimed by Great Britain from Nicaragua is not so large that it would impoverish the country to pay it, and there must be some other reason than that of poverty that it is not forthcoming. Perhaps the Central American Republics consider the Mon roe doctrine advocated for their espe cial benefit, and that they have only to ask to receive help from the United States in any and all emergencies. If they lake this view of the matter they are hugging a delusion, for this coun try U not to be forced into difficulties with Europe simply because the Latin nations do not pretend to carry out the rules of international law in their deal ings with the world. Mountaineer. s "But didn't you tell me you were an an Episcopalian?" I asked. "Oh, yes," said the old man; "I'll tell you how it is. Last spring I went down to New Orleans visitin', and while I was there I went ter church, and it happened to be an Episcopalian one, aim among other things I heard 'em say that they'd left undone them things they'd oughter done and done them things they hadn't oughter done; and I said to myself, 'That's just my fix too,' and since then I have always considered myself an Episcopalian." "Well," said I, as I shook the old man's hand, "If your ideas of an Episcopalian are correct we nre the largest denominatiou in the world." Ex. Ths Dalles Times-Mountaineer says that during the flood of 1894 about H3 nshwbeels were washed out by the flood, at a loss of perhaps $75,000 or $80,000 to the owners. At the time this was thought a loss that could not be recovered for many years; but when the season opened on the 10th of April, every wheel had been replaced, and be sides there were sevearl scows that had been constructed. Last season there was a phenomenal run of salmon, but this year it is not expected to be as large. The' Chickamauga park committee has completed the purchase of General Sherman's battle-ground at the north end of Missionary ridge, Chattanooga, and it now becomes a part of the national' military park. The tract con tains 50 acres and embraces the ground of assault if the Army .of the Tennessee and the position about Tunnel hill de fended by General Bragg's army. c-: ' Don't Stop Tobacco.

Editor Glacier: Owing to the fact that a large number of the fruit growers have canceled their names from the article of agreement which formed the basis of the Hood River Berry Association, the board of managers elected have decided to turn the business of shipping the fruit over to the Fruit Growers' Union, which was organized on a sounder basis. The union . has since made ar rangements to send Mr. T. R. Coon East to represent the growers in the Eastern market, and will send others as they are needed; the undersigned having charge of the shipping here. l ne pian to oe useu is tor tue man ager here to get all the information possible concerning the markets in the consuming centers, both from dealers and our special agents, and furnish the same to the growers who patronize the union, who can, if they wish, mark their fruit to any destination they choose and turn it over to the manager here, who will ship' it as directed; or the fruit can be turned over to the manager, yho will always stand ready to put it on the best markets in reach. And all fruit not sold at a fixed price before leaving here will be controlled by the union until It reaches the mar ket and is sold, and will be subject to being diverted by the head office or the special agent in the East, who will be in touch with the conditions of the markets by telegraph at all times. A sufficient amount will be remitted to the union to defray expenses In every case, and the balance to the irrower himself. ' The union will also act as agent of the box factory, and will be in a posi tion to furnish boxes to those who wish them. Every effort will be made to furnish to those who have helped to build up the local union every possible advan tage in securing the best prices for fruit at the lowest possible expense. Any information desired will be furnished as far as possible by the secretary and local manager. . , The operations of the union will not be confined to stockholders alone, but will ship for any person who may wish to have their fruit shipped. The union will also sell the fruit on the track here, or at any point, to any person who may wish to buy it at a fair price, so the grower will make him- sell doubly sate by placing his rruit in the hands of the union, as under this arrangement speculators will not be al lowed to buy at less than- the market price. Any recommendations or suggestions from the growers will always be given careful consideration, and the board of directors and manager are always anx ious to have suggestions ottered and criticisms made by those whom we serve.
