THE CUBAN QUESTION.

Some of our exchanges are loud in
their demands that the United States
should annex Cuba. So far as we have
been able to learn Cuba has not asked
to be annexed, or to be taken under
the protection of the United States.
Much as the citizens of this country
may sympathize with the brave fellows
struggling for independence, no rea-
son exists why we should interfere es-
pecially without being asked. Cuba is
Spanish province, and the insurgents
are in rebellion against their govern
ment. Their cause in our opinion is
Just, but it is none of our business.
Only the nearness of Cuba to our
shores gives US a special interest in
her. but theoretically we have no more
right to interfere than we would have
to take the part of the brave Coreans
who are fighting against the Japanese
invaders, the Armenians in. their
struggle with the Turks, or any other
oppressed and down-trodden people.
There is whole lots of sentiment in
annexing Cuba, but not much busi-
ness. In the Venezuelan matter
different state of affairs exiss, and the
American doctrine that foreign nations
shall not enlarge their territorial hold
ings on this continent is brought in
question. There is principle at stake
in the Venezuelan matter that is worth
fighting for, and that will be fought
for if England persists. AS to Cuba,
there is time for the United States to
consider that matter when Cuba asks it.

CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.

Although it is at least six months
until the state conventions meet in
this state, our Republican friends
are already engaged in making
nominations for congress. They con-
slider that the nomination is equivalent
to an election, and hence start early.
The overwhelming republican vote
last year has served to put damper
on the Democratic brethren and no
one seems to be pushing himself or al
lowing himself to be pushed for the
nomination. Congressman Ellis is
going to have a warm fight on his
hands if he holds his place, for all the
counties of Eastern Oregon are coming
to the front with from one to half q
dozen candidates each. The Oregon
ian yesterday reviewed the situation,
and arrives at the conclusion that with
so many candidates in Eastern Oregon,
the nomination is apt to go to Charley
Fulton Of Astoria. Fulton has lots of
friends, but on the silver question, if
we remember right, he is on the same
side of the fence with Ellis. If Port
land wants the senatorship to- remain
with her she must stand in with East;
ern' Oregon in the congressional ques-
ton. Eastern Oregon may not be able
to agree on a congressional candidate,
but she can soon reach an agreement
if it comes to selecting senator. She
has not the strength to elect senator,
but she is strong enough to prevent a
Portland man getting it. From which
we Judge Mr.. Ellis is not out of the
fight yet by any means. The Pendle-
ton Tribune man thinks nobody ever
heard of Ellis up that way, but if our
memory is not at fault, he carried
Umatilla county by some 516 votes.
The Democracy up that way heard
from him. Besides from the list of
those named to compete with him for
the nomination most of them if not all |
are free silverites. The Oregonian |
and the gold bugs have no arguments
against Ellis that would not be equally |
strong against nearly all the other
candidates. The only sensible solu-
lion it strikes us would be for all the |
factions to stand in together, and elect
! Democrat.

PRIZE-FIGHTING PERMITTED

There seems to be only one place in
the United States, where the weary
prize-fghter might fight in peace
wild and woody Texas; backwoods Ar
kansas, even the untamed and savage
Indian territory refuse to allow the
sluggers room within their boundaries.
But one place remains to them and
that place is in New York city, under
the benign government of Theodore
Roosevelt, DIR. Parkhurst and the
Committee of fifty. Monday evening
young Critic and George Dixon, a
negro, fought ten bloody rounds as the
Telegram puts it, sin the ARENA of
the exclusive Manhattan Athletic
Club" The fight was advertised in
the leading papers, for at least ten
days before it came off and yet the great
moral reform administration of the
city winked both eyes and refused to
interfere. 1t may be possible that the
election coming on Tuesday had some.
thing to do with this action, Mr..
Roosevelt and his colleagues, fearing
to drive some of their ardent hackers
who were interested in prize-fghting
over to the enemy on election day
should their highly moral amusement
be interfered with. New York un-
doubtedly needed reformation, it now
needs that the reformers be reformed.

THAT BOATRAHWAY


The Dalles is the only place in the
Inland Empire anxious to see the ship
railway scheme about Cello inaugu-
rated. 1t would be ducats in the pock-
cts OF the people there, while the
scheme progressed to absolute failure
so far as an open Columbia river is
concerned.-Moro Observer.
Our contemporary for some cause
seems to have it in for The Dalles.
The simple truth is that we are all
anxious to see the Instructions in the
| Columbia above this point overcome.
We don't care.by what means, so the
river is opened. Our opinion is that a
canal would be cheaper than a boat
railway, more easily operated, and
more practicable. If The Dalles people
had the management of the affair, q
canal would be begun within 30 days,
but they have not. The government en-
gineers unite in recommending boat
railway, and liberal appropriation
has already been made, and we pre-
sumo expended in surveying the route.
We never indorsed the boat-railway
scheme, but the situation resolves
itself into this: Whatever means of
overcoming the obstacles to naviga-
tion of the Columbia are to be adopted
by congress, will be adopted on the
recommendation of that branch of the
government that has charge of such
work-the engineers. That depart
ment pronounces the boat-railway feas-
ible, more cheaply. built and operated
than canal. We do not agree with
them in this conclusion, but it is their
business to know, and we freely con-
cede that they, do know more about the
matter than we possibly can. In the
face of the recommendation of the en-
gineers favoringsa boat-railway it will
be impossible to get congress to enter
tain any other scheme. So that it is,
to be brief, boat railway Or nothing.
For that reason The .Dalles, which
already enjoys the benefits given by
competition, desires the balance OF
the Inland Empire to share them with
her, If our people were moved by
selfish motives they would fight the
boat railway proposition, for. that once
killed, The Dalles would remain the
head of navigation Indefinitely. We
believe with the Observer that canal
would be preferable, but it is simply a
question as to whether it is better to
take what we can get, or have nothing.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

From present indications the Re-
publican party in this state next year
will be in the same fix the Democracy
are in this year in Kentucky. They
will have gold bug platform and free
silver candidates. They will do this
or they will have an entirely new deal,
and with a gold platform and anti-sil-
YER candidates they are liable to be
beaten.
Editor Hofer, of the Capital Journal,
'ibelieves that by liberation and free
discussion the Republicans of Oregon
will be able to hold together even on
the silver question" We notice that
the Journal and the Pendleton Tribune
are having the fair discussion" and
would suggest that they trot out their
federation" before it is everlastingly
too late.
stage where the defense has closed it's
argument, the prosecution beginning
it's summing up of the case and closing
argument this morning. Although
this stage has been reached the news
papers still continue to furnish testi-
mony, letters, statements and insinua-
tions. 1t looks as though the San
Francisco papers had gone insane on
the subject, and will continue their
idiotic babblings long after Durrant is
acquitted, or hanged.
1T is a safe bet that Reed, Mckinley,
Harrison, Allison. and the other Re-
publican presidential possibilities do
not endorse the plaintive prayer of
Job, to the effect that he would be
happy if his enemy wrote book.
Senator Sherman's effort in that line
has caused none of that keen JOY.
which old Job seemed to anticipate in
criticising his enemy's volume. They
all treat it with silent contempt, ex-
cept Depew, who MARBLES continuously
about it, but says nothing. Depew is
useless anyway, except as post-pran-
dial phonograph.
