Its generous disposition, has again asserted Itself, and It now opens up wide its storehou off wisdom for the benefit of the Dem ocratic party. It baa-already rendered that party , a, , service of Inestimable value. It has been able to discover for It w hat no other person in America has yet accomplished. It has found an is-' sue, yea. a paramount issue. After discussing at ; length the evils from of ficlals accepting , railroad passes.

But It Is all at the expense of the sfHdler on duty In the islands and Is tj-ithout good to oufj people at home, nd exceedingly detrimental to the In terests of the Filipinos. Of course, so soon after the uncertain sentiment ex pjresaed by the result ot the 1WH cam pjalgn, the Immediate abandonment of the. ifiands will not be advocated, but preparations will be always urged for tiat event. All our legislation for per manent occupancy of the Islands will be opposed.. Only temporary measures looking to the time when the sovereign ty of the Philippines will., be surrender id and our army withdrawn, wilt meet With favor from this class of pople.

ASSIMILATE FOREIGN ELEMENT. Now that we have become a nation In i - a . every sense of the woi& iayi John T. Buchanan in the February Forum, how fan we preserve our nationality and at the same time be true to that broad. lberalxplrlt which attracted our fath- ejrs In this land? The fusion Of the di verse elements or our population Into one common nationality cannot be at tained by saying: "You are an Ameri can. You have pasesd the forms of na turalization. Vote!" No; the security oif the perpetuity of our Government Is based upon a higher, broader, and more elective, principle, that of a responsible rtd Intelligent use of the franchise. Is a,ny one worthy-to cast a ballot that he cannot read, explain, and ' defend? Surely we should regard the gift of the high estate of citlsenshln as a mmt sa cred, blessing, to be won. at least, by the testimony of earnest desire. In ihe five years nominally required for the process of naturalization, any foreigner oif sufficient intelligence to be worthy the . honor of American rliln.Kin should be able to master enough of our language to read Intelligently the Con stitution of the United States and th Declaration of Independence, No one could demand. less of a prospective maker of laws than that he should be cjognizant of the underlying principles of our Government. The Infi Under which the foreigner would. rm In his pursuit of even this slight mount of knowledge would be an ln fijnlte aid in his assimilation; and in this direct contact with ih r.irmuk. of the rights of men he would Inevita bly absorb some of the true principles of liberty and equality. - : j ti It would, perhaps, be useless to at- tmpt to assimilate ail the strangers that enter our gates. People who have Senator Lodge has Introduced a bill providing for a new executive buTrding to be erected on land south of the Treasury Building and. near to the White House. The bill states that the structure shall comprise, on the first floor, a dining; room and reception rooms, and on the second floor offices for the use of the President and the executive clerks. The President Is to approve the plans and the sum of $1, 000,000 Is appropriated .for the erection of the building. The new structure will not be an addition to the White. House, but will be so built as-to sup plement It architecturally and may be connected either by balcony or tunnel. The Columbia and Klickitat railroad seems to be assured. Its construction will begin at once, and It is said that It will be completed by the end of the year. The, road will start from a small landing on the Columbia at L.yle, ten miles below The Dalles at' the mouth ofMhe Klickitat river. It will follow this stream to Goldendale, a dis tance of thlrty-fl'e or forty miles. Klickitat county has an area of 1.3C7,- COO acres and a population of but 64oT. It Is rich In native resources, and only - - x requires adequate transportation facil itles to insure rapid development. It will be entirely within Portland's trade fleld.
