FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1898.
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.

A mong the cities of the United
States, Honolulu will be one of the
first favorites as both a winter and
summer resort. 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.

back from Hawaii upon the Philip

they will have to reckon with the
great body of the American people.
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.
