THE MESSAGE.

Up to the time Of sending his last mes
sage to congress President Mckinley
had the confidence and support OF the
American people in his Cuban policy
he still has their support; but the am.
biguous wording of his message, the alb
sence Of definitely expressed policy,
has shaken confidence in his ability to
handle question OF such magnitude.
His message starts out well and reads
very smoothly until he reaches the vital
point. when he makes the mistake Of
saying that "the forcible intervention OF
the United States involves hos
tile constraint upon both parties to the
contest, as well to enforce q truce as to
guide the eventual settlement" II war
must come the people want it to be a
war against Spain-a war OF intervention
in behalf of the thousands OF starving
Cubans, with the establishment OF free
and independent republic on the island,
and war to avenge the murder Of the
Names martyred dead. Hostile con-
straint" against the Cuban insurgents
would not be tolerated by the American
people. and President Mckinley mis-
judged their temper when he intimated
that such action might be taken. The
war must be war against Spain with
the cooperation and assistance OF the
insurgents. The people will loyalty sup
port the president so long as he is in the
right. The time for diplomacy and Jug
Cling with words has passed; the time
for decisive action has arrived and few
more days will apply the crucial test to
President Mckinley. lie will then
make for himself place in history along
with Washington and Lincoln or his adj
ministration will be recorded as stem
POrizing policy" equal to that of Buch-
anan.

ing report of the months work:
About one half of the month has been
taken up with entertaining the soldiers
of the third and fourth Manila expedi-
tions. One can scarcely have an idea
of the way in which they fiocked to the
building and the way in which they
appreciated the cOurtesies offered them
without having been at the building
himself. After the rush was over we
found that about 1900 envelopes were
used and 10000 sheets of paper. About
2 900 baths taken and as many towels
washed. -Four thousand four hundred
names were found on the register. Two
Gospel meetings were held for the third
expedition and with a large attend
ance. Two meetings were also held for
the fourth expedition and about fifty
attended each. For the remainder of
the time it was thought best to use the
hall for writing tables TO accommodate
those coming for this privilege. Two
Sunday afternoon meetings were made
very large with the attendance of sol
diers and were also very helpful.
These meetings averaged in attendance
seventy-three for the month.
Besides this work two committee
meetings were held, one of the EN-
plOyment Committee, talking over the
work and improving the plans. One Of
the Educational Committee at which
prospective list of studies was arranged
for the coming year. This list was
increased to twelve studies, mainly to
accommodate old students, who may
wish to advance in their work

forty members and the principal num-

THE CANAL.
An English Statesman's View of
the Enterprise.

the Enterprise.
LONDON, July 28.-Sir George Sgd
enham Clarke says in a public letter:
1T is for the best interests Of the world
that a canal connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific should be controlled by the
United States, and whatever attitude
the European powers may take, for
eign interference in Central America is
out of the question, because the inter
ests of the United States and Great
Britain in the future Will be perma-
nent. There, Lord Salisbury's policy
toward the United States is statesman
like"
The letter was evoked by an article
in the Daily Graphic calling attention
to the reversal of England's traditional
policy TO prevent the United States
from acquiring strategical positions in
the Atlantic and Pacific, enabling 1t to
control the possible canal.
The Daily Graphic, in an editorial,
saws it agrees with Sir George Syden-
ham Clarke, but is curious to know
what induced Lord Salisbury to adopt
an attitude which has so much facill-
tated the United States.

devices for car propulsion. that there
Is hope for the removal of all poles and
wires from our streets within a few
years.
1t is strange fact that improvements
of street car transit in some cities have
been retarded by the development OF
promising Inventions. New plans have
been offered and better ones have been
promised to degree that has made own
ers of car lines afraid to adopt any sys-
tenn for fear a better might soon be Of
fered.
In New York, for instance, the owners
of the elevated railway system have for
several years been inclined to change
from steam to some other motive power.
They have experimental largely with
electric and compressed air systems.
George ]. Gould, who represents the
largest interest in the system. has re-
Gently returned from tour of inspection
in Europe, ard he frankly admits that,
while steam must surely go, he cannot
fix upon the best substitute.
The chief surface lines in New York
only about five years ago were equipped
with traction or cable power, substan-
TALLY the system that Los Angeles dis
carded years ago. Now all that expen-
sive work is being torn up to give place
to an underground electric system. On
another important line compressed air
has lately been successfully introduced,
operated on the storage battery plan.
A comparatively new plan, known as
the third-rail electric conductor, has
been tried with satisfactory results.
In this rather bewildering profusion
Of new plans of car propulsion 1t is not
strange that owners of transit lines ar"
inclined to await developments. 1t is
more than probable that the plan par
excellence is still in the busy brain Of
some inventive genius.

The Termination of Oregon's contest
fer United States senator will revive the
question whether 1t would not be better
to choose senators by popular vote. AS
q practical result of the existing system
we have the fact that the state Of Ore
gon has been unvepresented In the
United States senate since March 4, 1897.
In all the. important matters pertaining
to the war with Spain. and in others of
great moment, Oregon-was voiceless in
the upper fense of congress. All this
because of an inflexible hitch in the leg
islature over rival candidates for the
position.
The question as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
electing senators directly by the people
Is one which caused more trouble than
almost any other to the trainers of the
constitution. 1t was strenuodsly main
tanned, in the constitutional convention,
that the several states should have the
right to choose their senator's, int such
manner as they might elect. No. special
method was adopted for the choice Of
representatives. 1.-THE house OF repre-
sentatives shall be composed of mem
bers chosen every second year BY the
people of the several states" the consist
tuition provides. but the senate shall be
composed of 1.-TWO senators from each
state chosen by the legislature thereof. y,
Whatever cause there may have been
originally for the system Of choosing
senators by state legislatures, it is not
apparent now. 1t rested largely upon
the old doctrine of state rights, which
was practically obliterated by the civil
war. At this day there is apparently
mo sufficient reason, other than aversion
for tinkering with the constitution, why
senators should not be elected directly
by the people.
The worst feature of the existing sys-
tenn In these latter days, is its corrupt
ing and demoralizing influence in state
legislatures. The candidate with the
most money, not the one with most
brains or otherwise most At, is the man
who too frequently gets into the United
OtdteS sehdte. 1HiS 10 particularly tiu0
in the new states. We might point out
several examples in neighboring states
of California, but readers will readily
recall them. The very fact that senate
vacancy exists year and half because
of a wrangle in the legislature over rival
candidates, is in itself evidence that the
system of such election is radically
wrong.

and subsistence OF each man. 1t is prob
ably a fair guess to say that this figure
approximates the cost Of our army on
the frontier.
In the matter Of general expense ac-
count we have accurate information al
to the management and support of the
Indians. The bill for the fiscal year of
1896 was IS, 763. 751.24. This includes all
appropriations for the Indian SER
vice, with allotments for lands taken by
the government.
There can be only feeble comparison
between the task of caring for our
quarter of a million Indians and that of
tackling the job Of "enlightening" ten
million barbarians in the Philippine ar
chipelago. II we enlighten the Filipinos
as we do the Chippewas. it will take all
the treasury surplus to pay for the nee
essary lead.
The enlightenment of savages is much
to be desired, and 1t might be we'll for the
United States to go into the business on
an enlarged scale after we have accom-
plished something in that direction at
home. At the present time we are sim
ply a worlds laughing stock, as we con-
fess inability to manage the few savages
we have, while reaching out for millions
more, ten thousand miles away.
