At a conference of agricultur-
alists held several days ago Mr..
David Lubin, of California, pre-
sented his scheme for the enact
ment of law for the payment of
an export bounty upon all agri-
cultural products sent out of the
country, and the conference APP
proved it.
This is what Gen. Miles, the
Commander of the U. S. Army
say: IF war should break out
at the present time all we would
have with a few exceptions, would
be a lot of obsolete guns on rot
ten carriages, which would fall
over before they could be made
of service. The country is in a
deplorable condition for defense.
There are only three modern
high powered guns in position in
this country. Two of these are
at the entrance of New York
Harbor, and the third is at San
Francisco. 1t would take two
years and $50, 100000 to put our
coasts in a condition of proper
defense" While this statement
is correct nobody seems alarmed
about it, Notwithstanding Sena-
tor Chambers bill to appropriate
800, 100000 for strengthening
the military armament which
has been introduced in both
branches of Congress, and Sena.
tor Squier's bill appropriatine

One reason for this is that few
people regard war as probable.
and another is the faith OF the
officials in the secret torpedo
system of the government.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


Washington has not passed such
an exciting week for long time
as the one just closed. Follow
ing President Cleveland's Mon
roe doctrine message was regu-
lar deluge of star spangled BAN
ner war talk, which hasn't en-
tirely subsidized yet but is much
quieter. Just as Congress dis
posed of the first message, for a
time, by authorizing the appoint
ment of a commission ascertain
the boundary line between Ven
ezuela and British Guiana--no
small task when it is remember
ed that neither Venezuela nor
England have succeeded in doing
it during the more than half
century the dispute has been
pending-President Cleveland
produced a greater panic in Con-
gress than the alleged unloading
of American securities by the
British did in Wall street by
sending in second special mes
sage, declaring the financial con-
dition of the country one of peril
and virtually demanding that
Congress should not take q
Christmas recess until it had
done something to relieve the
situation.
Mr.. Cleveland did not get as
much abuse for the financial mes
sage as he got praise for the
Monroe doctrine message, but
more of the abuse came from his
own party friends. They ac-
cused him of trying to trying to
take advantage of the war scare
to force his financial policy down
their throats. If it had rested
with the Senate alone Mr.. Cleve-
lands financial message would
have been ignored and the usual
recess taken, but the House is
afraid of the politics in so doing,
and will go through the motion
of being in session, although it
was difficult to keep a quorum.
With sixty senator voting, the
silver men had a majority of
twelve. The vote on the ques-
ton of referring to committee

nomination from the Democrats. It
is, however, more of a declination to
take part in any contest at the ma
tional convention. Mr.. Carlisle ex-
presses himself as concerned more
about the principles for which the
party shall declare than for the man
whom it shall nominate. Between
the lines of Mr.. Carlisle's letter can
be read the sentiment that if the
Democratic platform declare against
the free coinage of silver, he
would not refuse the nomination.
This action of Secretary Carlisle
in making his position known is
praiseworthy. There is none too
much frankness on the part of our
public men, ard the people read with
approval the statements of one who
is not afraid TO have his position
known. If Grover Cleveland would
make similar declaration of his be-
lief regarding third term, he would
increase the estimation in which in
dividually he is held by the Ameri.
can people.
Honesty Of position, as well as OF
action, is what is needed in public
life.

TIME TO TEACH Il LESSON.

Oregon Republicans are not far
behind those of Texas when it comes
to holding interesting conventions.
The scenes which marked the session
of the county convention in Port
land Saturday are without parallel in
the history of the state, Without
assuming to judge of the right OF
wrong ofOthe matter, since the data
from which an opinion may be
formed is entirely insufficient, we
feel free to say that Portland's ways
of conducting politics do not meet
the approval of the rest of the state
The result is not surprising.
Multnomah county has suffered from
bossism during many years, and a
revolt has come from the domination
of a particular boss, which revolt
threatens the disruption of the party
organization.
Whether the charge, if 1t comes,
will be for the better we cannot say,
but this much we do believe, that
If the delegates to the state and con-
gressional conventions from counties
outside of Multnomah wish to rem
der service to the Republican party
no better method can they adopt
than to refuse to recognize either of
the contesting Multnomah delega-
tions. Let Multnomah county be
told that until she learns to behave
herself she cannot be allowed the in
fuence in the party councils to
which, under ordinary circumstances,
she is entitled. 1t would be a
wholesome lesson to Portland politi-
clans if the congressional and state
conventions would refuse to sanction
the actions of either faction.
The Republican party is greater
than any one man in it. 1t existed
without Joseph Simon; it can do so
again. Hume, Minto and Frank are
not necessary to the party's welfare.
tsThere were kings before Agamen-
non," and there will be newspapers
after the Oregonian has ceased its
one-sided representation. The Ore
gonian is great newspaper when it
discusses large issues, but when it
lends its power to the building up of
Joe Simon and his friends, its infu-
ence becores weakened.
If the delegates from Eastern Ore
gon and the Columbia river coun-
ties, outside of Multnomah, will go
into the congressional convention
determined that Portland politics
shall not be the directing force of
the Re publican party, great good
will be done to The loyal voters
throughout the state who care not for
the personal aggrandizement of any
one man, but desire the success of
the party and the principles for
which the party stands. Otherwise
defeat and consequent disaster are
imminent.

RIFLE STORY EXPLODED.
what the Navy Department Has
Really Ordered at New Haran.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, lS9S.-In regard
to the war scare story from New Haven
that the Navy Department would place
an order before noon today in that city
for 100000 rifles, it is stated by the Ord
nance officials of the Navy Department
that this can only refer to the 100 600
magazine rifles of the Lee straight pull
small calibre pattern authorized by Con-
gress, for which a contract was entered
into with the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company on October 81 1895.
This called for the delivery of 500 arms
in ten months and the remainder in one
hundred days thereafter The first deliv-
cry was made on time and issued to the
new arrnored cruiser Brooklyn, not yet
in commission. The time for completion
of the contract expired November 8, but
as the navy was in no urgent hurry for
the guns the final deliveries have not yet
been completed. In order to collect their
money and avoid penalties, the contrac-
tors are. however, doubtless anxious to
rush their work to a conclusion, and
this fact is presumed to have led to their
increased activity.
Unfortunately, the navy has no au-
thority to buy 100000 of these guns nor
could it make use of more than one-tenth
of that number ~if it had them. AS the
case stands a sudden change of arms
would cause inconvenience as the men
would require some time to become IA
miliar with the new and complicated
magazine gun.
