T he war with Spain has taught Us that merchant ships are quite as much a portion of the nation's mill tarv equipment, when engaged in a foreign war, as are armies and navies themselves, and that trained Ameri can citizens who are competent to perforin the duties of engineers, sea men and firemen are just as necessary as is any other portion of our naval resonrees.—New York “Commer cial.'' THE’annexation of Hawaii by this country was a foregone conclusion abroad. Foreign papers hardly make a reference to the matter, and none has offered an objection. O ne of the signs'of prosperity is the revival of railroad construction. The estimate is that $60,000,000 will be expended on new roads in 1898, the largest showing since 1893. ■....... * •«------- T he conviction is growing in Spain that a tremendous mistake was made in courting war with the United States. Even Spanish foolishness can be modified with 13-inch guns. B y turning to the county court proceed ings in another column you will see that the deputy salary of clerk and sheriff is to be paid by the county.

The thermometer there is noted for its moderate range and uniformity. S wift & Co. of Chicago have se cured the contract for supplying re frigerated beef for the troops in Cuba. The government guarantees the demand will last for three months and estimates that before the time is up more than 100,000 pounds will be required daily, as it is expected that much wilt be needed for Cuban sol diers and for starving Cubans in ad tion to that required foroursoldiers. C ongressman T ongue arrived home last week. No announcement of his vacation plans has been made, but presumably he will need most of the time to look after his private af fairs. He is entitled to it, having labored energetically and to good purpose for the public during the im portant session just closed. Con gress meets again in December, and he will just escape the hot season that is so oppressive in the national capital. T he movement for organization of the Native Sons of Oregon is meeting with no little adverse criticism. There are some things pleasant to contemplate in connection with such an order, and there are grave dangers also to be avoided. The danger is that it would sooner or later invade the field of politics, as it has done in the state of California, and become a disturbing factor in social and busi ness circles as well. The sentiment of the Tillamook Headlight that “the one great thing to be remem bered is tha* we are all Americans ' ia correct. T he first installment of troops for I’orto Hico has gone forward, headed by Gen. Miles. Operations may not begin for several days. It is the avowed purpose of the war depart inent to send an overwhelming force to the island, and it is hoped that the Spanish forces will be induced to «apitulate without bloodshed. In the meantime Commodore Watson's ex pedition is getting ready to sail for the Spanish coast, it will probably be off in ten days. There are indi cations of a growing peace sentiment in Spain, which will probably in crease in ardor us Watson's fleet ap proaches. * • • T mehe has lieen no unfavorable crit icism of the conduct of the war from any eminent military authority, American or foreign. la fact, such seem to agree that it ha- been planned and carried on with remarkable brilliancy and dispatch The world never saw an army of 300,000 men recruited, drilled and equipped in three months. It never witnessed such stupendous achievements in naval warfare, in as brief a space of time and with so little loss to the victors. It is possible, it is prob able. that in some minor details er rors have bi*en made, but it is results that tell the story of capable or in capable management. There are people who think they could have done in six weeks all that has been done and more, but it is a good thing that they were not in command. T he tremendous exports of manu factures show that the United States will not have to depend in the future upon its agricultural products for its balance of trade. Inspiteof warand the increased home demands for pro ducts, America is the creditor of the world bv an enormous amount. Chi cago “Times Herald.” It only appears that way to persons who thought a majority of the voters could be induced to surrender their political convictions for a ten-cent bribe. If the fusion crowd had off ered to run those offices free of charge for the next two years the result would have been the same. It is very humiliating, but the people are not to blame for their lack of confidence in popocratic professions or doctrines. T he dispatches state that the Cuban troops were very much chagrinned because they were not allowed by Gen. Shafter to enter Santiago. Their course in putting to the sword help less refugees from the Spanish fleet, showed what would have been the result of turning the Cubans loose in the city. Had President McKinley yielded to the loud clamor for recog nition of Cuban independence, Gen eral Shafter would simply have been an assistant and the United States a helpless partner to every atrocity in spired by Spanish cruelty and injus tice in the insurgent heart. T he Oregon Agriculturist thinks that as a general thing the best time to sell wheat is just as soon after har vest as possible. We doubt if the aggregate of experience among far mers would justify the opinion, but as to this season's crop it adds: ■‘There is a pretty general impression that wheat is not now selling at as high a price as the conditions of the markets of the world would justify. It has also been a long time since the farmers have before been in as good condition to hold wheat as they are at the present time. Unless the opening price for this season's crop seems satisfactory grain will be mark eted slowly in the United States.' N aval departments abroad are asking themselves the reason for this wonderful triumph of American arms. The answer will not benefit them much, because they cannot, utilize the information in their own navies. To get at the true answer, it is necessary to go buck to the early settlement of the country uud study the character of the men who founded its institutions and left their impress upon the generations that followed them. President Boardman says they were God s people, and that is the reason we can build better ships, furnish better disciplined and more courageous armies, better marks men, and all that makes for success in war as well as in peace, than the older nations of the earth. ----------------- THF.

They may form a party and adopt resoultions, and resort again to ob structive tactics to stay the west ward progress of the flag, but the result at Manila will be the same as at Honolulu, “The last of the down-haulers was Grover Cleveland, and the last, down- hauling was performed under his or ders by Paramount Blount at Hono lulu on April 1st, 1893. That was five years ago, and the performance will not be repeated within the life time of any American now living. " T he Loganberry is a new berry recently introduced from Japan. D. W. Coolidge of Eugene, who is a hor ticulturist of same note, has experi mented with them and pronounces them a success. The editor of the Oregon Agriculturist who recently visited his place writes as follows: “Loganberries, to the merits of which Mr. Coolidge has done much to call attention, were in full fruit, and the amount of fruit which they mature is beyond comprehension by those who have not seen the vines loaded as they were in Mr. Coolidge's garden. The berries are not very different in size and form from black berries but in color and flavor are more like red raspberries, with also a strong suggestion of our wild black berry which is in fact a dewberry. They are too soft for market but are excellent for dessert with sugar and cream, and when canned are consid ered by Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge to be fully’ equal to wild blackberries which are generally preferred to all other small fruits.” There are signs that the American people are hero-worshippers. Hob son is to be admired and respected, and yet the seven men who went with him faced just as deadly a death and braved just as many perils as did he. The same is true of the 400 brave unknowns who volunteered to go with him to sink the Merrimac. And what of the thousand or more gallat fellows who faced the Spanish cannon at Santiago, and died there fighting for their country. Far be it from an American to disparage the feat of Hobson, but along with Hobson why should we not give the other brave boys a share of our gratitude and plaudits. A hero is none the less a hero because ho died in the act that won him glory, and we should all remember that the true insignia of a hero is not an offi cer's epaulettes.—Corvallis times. 8 Dr. Young's condition is retried less favorable the pn-t few days.
