OREGON,S NEED.

Oregon's greatest need is more
people to settle upon, cultivate and re-
claim her thousands of acres ofuutilled
land, and more capital invested in
manufacturing ventures, that will con-
vert the raw products of the soil into
articles that are consumed by the
people, but which at present are i'm
ported either from Europe or the
eastern states. The STATE needs thous-
ands more of laborers who will become
both producers and consumers, and it
needs the Introduction of more capital
invested in enterprises that will give
labor employment. But Oregon can
not expect either the capital or labor
attracted here as long as her tax rates
are so high as to nearly equal the
earning power of money invested in
labor-consuming enterprises. She
cannot expect capital to invest within
her territory to be confscated by the
tax-gatherer, nor can she hope to see
the reputation of her productive soil
and salubrious climate attract those
desiring to engage in agricultural
pursuits so long as it is evident that
the larger portion of the profits OF the
farm must go to pay the expenses OF
government. Hence Oregon's first
need is cutting down of public ex-
penses, to necessities of government
economically administered. For re-
duction in the expenses of government
we can only look to those who frame
our laws, and those in whose hands is
the appropriation of public funds
the men who form the legislative and
executive branches of the state and
county government.
ernment.
But with the voters rests the re-
sponsibility of selecting men to serve
them in official capacities, and if they
will see Oregon relieved from over tax
alton, and made an attractive place to
which capital and laborers may be in
vented, they will make economy burn
ing issue in the coming campaign, and
put trust not in party lines, but in the
men who are asking for legislative
places. These should be men above
all, of integrity, SO they cannot be
bought, men of strong character, so
that personal influence cannot swerve
them from duty, men Of fair attain
menus, SO they can know what they are
doing, men OF affairs, who, in the
glamor and excitement of legislative
session will not lose their heads and
stray off into doing exactly the things
they were elected not to do. Men of
this sort, solemnly bound by personal
pledges to vote against extravagance
can and will, when enough of them
are elected, bring about the reforms

A Lawyer Kidnapped.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-A special from
Albuquerque, N. NJ, says:
Colonel A. ]. Fountain, one of the
best-known men in New Mexico, was
kidnapped on the road from Las Cruces
to White Oakes, by cattle-thieves. and
is believed to have been killed, to-
gether with his little son, who was his
only travelling companion. Fountain
was prosecuting attorney of the dis
trict and has been pushing the rustlers
hard. He had just been at court in
Lincoln county, where he had indicted
a number of them, and was on his way
home when he was waylaid and doubt
edly killed. A large party is securing
the country for the rustlers.

a GOOD YEAR.

Despite the efforts of some politi.
clans to retard the move of prosperity
and keep back industries with the hope
of thereby gaining their political ad.
vantages, the manufacturing Industries
in many localities found the past year
a most prosperous one, being able to
pay unusual dividends upon their capi.
tai invested. OF the prosperity that
has been enjoyed by certain manufac-
turing centers in New England during
the past year the New York World
says:
"The increasing prosperity OF New
England is indicated by the fact that
the January report OF the dividends on
industrials and other securities held
in Boston shows an aggregate of S13,-
242, 900 this year, against only s12. .355,-
600 reported in January, 1894.
Favorable as this is, it is greatly
surpassed by results at Fall River,
where the mills have paid for last year
dividend of 500 per cent. on a capitali-
cation of s21 ,26s, 900. One Of the best
previous years was 1892, when divi-
dends averaged 7:36,per cent.
1t is important to remember that
these increasing dividends have been
earned in year when the competition
of Southern mills has been growing
at phenomenal rate. The output of
cotton manufacturers at the south is
greater now than it ever was before

May be a New Snif

SALEM, Or. Feb. 5.--Since the last
decision of the supreme court, revers-
ing the judgement of the lower court
in restraining the state board asylum
in Eastern Oregon, there has been
more or less talk here as to why the
constitutional question has not been
passed upon. Though many prefer
that the board should proceed with
the building. others are determined to
have the court commit itself more de-
finitely on the power of the legislature
to locate the institution away from the
seat of government. The latter have
not yet evolved definite plan, but the
statement is warranted that rehear-
ing will be asked or new suit begun.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed upon substitute for the reso-
luton heretofore reported on the
question of the recognition of Cuba,
and authorized Senator Morgan to re-
port to the senate. 1t is:
Resolved by the senate, the house
of representatives, concurring. That
in the opinion of congress a condition
of war exists between the government
of Spain and the government pro.
claimed and for some time maintained
by forces of arms by the people of
Cuba, and that the United States of
America should maintain a strict
neutrality between the contending
powers, and accord each all the rights
of belligerents in the ports and terri
tory of the United States"
The committee also voted to make
an effort to take up the Cuban ques-
tion in the senate as soon as the ur-
gent deficiency bill and the resolution
for the distribution Of the appropria-
ton bills can be disposed of.

All Legitimate Bids Above 11O.S77 Will
be Accepted.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The work OF
scheduling and classifying the bids
opened yesterday was resumed today.
Until it is completed no definite in
formation can be obtained as to the
amounts bid for at each of the several
rates, or how low rate can be accepted
for large amount, various y estimated
from $45, 5,0o0,0 900 to S65, ,000,00O All
legitimate bids at rate above that
submitted by Morgan (1l0 6S77), will
be accepted, and all bids below that
rate will be rejected.
1t was expected by the treasury Off
cials that the secretary would be able
to use some discretion in the accept
ance of bids, and, therefore be in q
position to give the preference to par
ties who would agree to obtain their
gold from abroad. The fact, however,
that all bids higher than that made by
Morgan must be accepted precludes
the possibility of his making any dis
elimination whatever, except in rare
cases where the bidder shows he has
foreign gold on the way here and asks
for slight extension of time to make
his deposit. 1t is believed the secre-
tary will grant such requests.

NO PLACE FOR EUROPE.

Spain may for some time harass the
patriotic Cubans, cause them much in
convenience and great loss of life, but
the independent spirit that prevails in
the West Indies must prevail, and
eventually the islands will be free and
independent government. In fact the
American continent is no. place for
European governments to hold sway,
and we believe it is only question of
Of a very few years when there will
not be foot OF American soil owned
or controlled by European powers.
History bears out this belief, for when
ever the American people have risen
in their might and undertaken to
throw off the yoke of crowned heads
and eastern potentates they have ac-
complished the desired end.
All of the wars waged against
European domination upon the Ameri-
can continent, or any part of it, have
ended in success. England was driven
from those of her American colonies
which were formed into the United
States. Portugal was driven from
those of her colonial possessions which
now constitute the republic of Brazil.
Spain was driven away from the whole
of the vast territory which she held in
both North. and South America, and
her rule was supplanted by that of the
many independent republics which
stretch, from Mexico to Argentina.
France gave up her possessions in
North America, selling the best part
of them to the United States. Russia
left the northwest corner of our conti-
nent, after giving us good bargain in
Alaska.
The only attempt of any European
power to break down republicanism in
any country on this side of the sea
was that of the French emperor in
Mexico; and he failed most inglorious-
ly. In>Brazil there was an emperor of
the Portuguese House of Braganza up
to the year of 1889, when he left for
Europe against his will.
Canada and the West Indies form
the greater portion OF European prov
inces in the Western Hemisphere, and
the former is held by England through
the tolerance of the people, while
Spain's sway over the latter is becom-
ing less powerful every day. In the
case OF Cuba, history will only repeat
itself, and in time the Canadian prov
inces will, by bloodless war, break
away from the home government, set
ting up in business for themselves, as
Cuba is undertaking to do at present,
America is no place for European
and the sooner the gov
ernments of the old world learn this
the better It will be for mankind.

declared there would be no difficulty
in doing this without the government
ownership of the roads, to which he
was opposed absolutely. He recon-
mended that congress pass an act for
feiting the land grants to the two COM
panies, exemption being made in favor
of bona fide purchasers from railroads.
If congress did not legislate he would
revoke his suspension orders and
patent the lands to the roads.

Those who composed the republican
league which met in Portland Tuesday
profited by the experience of the league
meeting a year ago, and carefully
avoided putting themselves upon rec
ord on the silver or any other ques-
ton. They simply met, had a good
time, elected officers, etc., and adjourn
ed, leaving the issues of the coming
campaign for the conventions to forra-
ulate. So far as what the republican
party will or will not endorse or de-
nounce is yet a mystery. The league

any policies promulgated, is snrouded

Nothing is Known of Them Except as to
Number.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Although no
news is obtainable of a definite nature
in regard to the number of bids al
ready received at the treasury depart
ment for the 4-per cent loan, it is cer-
tain the number is larger and un
doubtedly exceeds the expectations Of
officials. Some estimates place the
number as high as 1880 or 1900. AS to
the amount of bids or the rates Of
fered, nothing is known, for the orig
inal envelopes in which they were
received still remain unopened in one
of the treasury vaults. A number of
well-known bankers, who are supposed
to be interested in the loan, are in
town and others are expected tomor-
row. 1t seems to be the general ex-
pectation that great majority of the
small bids will be at figures to realize
as low a rate as per cent, or 119, 1929
per hundred, while the large bids are
to call for rate as high as
2 7-16. or Ito, 1892 per hundred.

a SENSIBLE VIEW.

The more the people, both on this
side of the ocean and in Europe, study
the attitude of America in reference to
the Venezuelan matter, the more
thoroughly are they convinced that this
government was right in taking the
steps she did in insisting that England
submit the question to arbitration.
Even the English themselves are be-
ginning to realize the justness OF the
demands made by the United States,
and many OF the members of parlia-
ment have freely acknowledged the
principles insisted upon by America
are right. The great African ex-
plorer, Henry M. Stanley, who is now
q member OF the British parliament,
in expressing his views on this ques-
ton to friend in New York said:
"Now on this Venezuela subject
am entirely on the side Of America,
but must admit that am not surprised
that English papers, backed up by
Salisbury, differ from me. Taught by
the remarks of your journal, I ha2of
course, devoted much time to under
standing it, whereas English editors
were exceedingly ill-informed. Then
there are two or three injudicious re.
marks in Olney's dispatch which put
British backs up, but after reflection,
it is wonderful how many have come
around to my opinion that, whatever
the transgressions of Olney, there is
a great deal of justice in the American
demand. I feel quite sure, now that SO
much is admitted, it will not be long
before the opinion becomes general
that we were in the wrong in refusing
arbitration. while the more l think of
Olney think that he could scarcely
have written otherwise than he did.
argue that had he contented himself
with the usual suave tone of diplomacy
he would not have succeeded in rousing
the attention OF the nation to the
necessity of settlement. His dispatch
would have lain quietly buried in the
archives of the foreign office, whereas
now every Englishman knows suf-
fciently of the subject to distinguish
right from wrong, and while there is
still majority who take the dispatch |
to be an affront to British dignity,
there is a minority, increasing in num-
bers, who think that British honor
would be best consulted by seeing |
Justice done to Venezuela. and that !
British interests would be promoted
by acquiescing with the American de-
mand."
