The principal occupation of the
news gatherers for the Associated
Press seems to be TO get up sensa-
tlonal news regardless of truth. The
latest exploit is the assertion that
Japan is sending well-drilled soldiers
to Honolulu, disguised as labo:ers,
with the intention of capturing the
islands. The navy department has
ordered the gunboat Wheeling to
Honolulu, which probably suggested
the story.

The supreme court of the state of
Washington has declared the mort
gage law of that state unconstitu-
tIonal. The law provided for a
stay of execution, and prevented sale
of the property for year after judg-
ment. 1t was declared unconstitu-
tional on several grounds, one of
which was that it was retroactive,
and another that it impairs the obli-
cations of contracts, and is therefore
in violation Of Section 10, Article 1,
of the constitution of the United
States. Populist legislatures in en-
deavoring to correct what they con-
sidered evils, have generally over
shot the mark, and grasplng at too
much, caught nothing. Any legis-
lature can make law, but it takes
lawyers, after all, to pass upon it
when made. 1t is on the principle
that fools make feasts and wise men
eat them.

CONCERNING LIGHTS.

One of the questions agitating the
Dalles public mind just now is, can
the city afford electric lights? We
think the question is wrongly worded.
It should be: 'Can The Dalles
afford to be without electric lights ?"
The answer is in the negative almost
unanimously. The city can be
lighted for less than $4,000 year,
and the property owners, let alone
others, cannot afford to have the
city in darkness for that sum. Our
citizens subscribe literally for al
mcst any proposition. A thousand
dollars was raised for the firemen's
tournament, like sum, or more, has
been subscribed for the fair. The
Commercial Club is expending money
enough on its rooms to light the
CITY two years. These things show
that it is not for the lack of money
that the city remains in darkness.
What is it then? Simply lack of
enterprise and energy.
The Commercial Club was formed
for the purpose of advancing the
city's interest, and it has done much.
1t could do much more. and it could
aid materially in the lighting of the
city. We do not mean to convey
the idea that the club should pay the
bills, but it could take hold of the
matter in such way that the balance
of the money necessary to be raised
TO pay for the lights could be pro-
cured. AS an advertisement of our
town the lights would be worth more
than their entire cost. The cost of
three cigars a week to 100 men would
light the city. and divided among
the voting population of the city, 1t
would mean 81 each Fer year. or a
trifie over fifteen cents each per
month. And yet fifteen cents a
month seems to be too rich for our
blood.
The city council report about
$1,000 could be made available for
lighting purposes. This would leave
5000 to be raised outside. 1t ought
to be done. The Dalles Is a live,
wide awake town, does more bust
ness than any place of its size on the
coast, and yet in some things, and
notably in the matter of lights, it
permits itself to be back number,
and goes to sleep, from necessity, at
sundown. We believe in municipal
economy, in getting out and keeping
out, of debt; but we DO not believe
in that kind of economy that costs
more than it saves.
If The Dalles is to hold its pres
tige as commercial center, it must
letfts light shine by night as we'll as
by day.

President Mckinley submitted his annual message to Congress Monday. 1t deals largely with Gu ban, Hawaiian, and monetary af- fairs. The president urges the i'm mediate annexation of Hawaii and contra that Cuba be turned over to the tender mercies of Spain. We are at loss to know how the pres ident arrived at the conclusion he has regarding the two applicants for onr protection. Hawaii is 1900 miles off our westernmost coast while Cuba is almost a stone's throw from the coast of Florida. Annexation is not asked for Cuba; simply that it be given belligerous rights. Regarding monetary affairs the president assumes that all our obligations are payable in gold This is the same policy that Grover Cleveland carried out. It is Cages policy and it will continue to be the policy of every president domi- hated by eastern influences. He refers to the incomplete work of the international monetary commission and hopes that in the end it will succeed in establishing a double standard. France received hearty thanks for assistance rendered our commissioners and for the apparent willingness to agree to open the hints to the free and unlimited colnage of silver. The message con tains 13,000 words, but as a state document cannot be said to be above the ordinary.
