KEEP cool. If there is any real cause for war with Spain, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight. Those who first get into a war are not always the ones who close it. Grant was only clerk in Governor Yates office at Springfield when Mcclellan was full major-general, and Grant went to Cincinnati to tender his services to Mcclellan and ask for a commission. He didn't get one from Little Mac" but the latter allowed him to "cool his heels" in an ante-room three entire days, and the future hero of Vicks- burg, Chattanooga and Appomattox returned to his desk in Springfield in disgust. Mcclellan was the country's idol then, but the man he sighted closed the war.

THOSE who are decrying the president for not precipitating war with Spain should recall that the war-making power is reposed in congress by plain provision of the constitution. Should the president precipitate hostilities he would be open to impeachment. All he can do is to collect all the evidence in the case, submit it to congress and let the war making power act. The president is doing his full duty in having all the evidence collected as rapidly as possible.

ACCORDING to grapevine tele- gram to the Pheniz Gazette, Mark Smith is ranked in Washington as one ofthe ablest democrats in the na- ton. Everybody who knows any thing about public men agrees with that assertion; but it doesn't raise the democratic party in their opinion.

INSTEAD of appealing to "the throne of grace" the chaplain of congress seems bent upon giving the people daily installments of political doctrine; and the Asso- ciated Press telegraphs his tommy rot all over the country. What do the readers of the daily press care what the chaplain slid each morning at the opening of the con gressional sessions.

A MASS coNvENrroN

In another column readers of THE OASIS will find presented a copy of a call signed by above a score of prominent business men, taxpayers and citizens of the town of Nogales, for mass convention of their fellow citizens to be held at the Nogales opera house Thursday evening of next week, for the pur- pose of nominating municipal ticket to be presented for the suf- frages of the voters of Nogales at the approaching town election.
 This call was framed and adopted at public meeting held at the of flee of the town clerk and towr board, on Thursday afternoon, which meeting was held with open doors in the full light of day. That meeting was attended by most of the representative business men of Nogales, while others who were not there have since signified their approval by affixing their signatures to the document, which is on file and open to inspection by the public.
 This call, adopted ill the most open and public manner, requests the business men, taxpayers and citizens of Nogales to meet in mass convention at a stated time and place, in an equally public manner, to select candidates for the suffrages of the electors, ill municipal cleo tion which, under the law, will be called by proper authority, before the date set for assembling of the mass convention so summoned.
 Now all this is straight and re- gular open and above board. It means the nomination and election of a ticket for municipal offices i'll which every step from the very in- ception is and will be in full publicity. It means that when men are put forward for public offices they shall be presented by respon- sible bodies of their fellow citizens, properly organized and with the fullest publicity as to who and what kind of citizens go to make up such bodies. If public office is worth having 1t is worth coming ont into the open and entering into honor able contention to secure it. That is the doctrine of the score or more of gentlemen who have united in call ing the mass convention for next Thursday evening; and it IS the doctrine which will prevail because it is right.

THE METHOD OBJECTIONABLE.

The municipal ticket which was
 put forward last week under the ap-
 pelation of Taxpayers Ticket, "
 consists of most excellent gentle
 men, business men of real worth
 and standing in the community
 Under ordinary circumstances the
 gentlemen would have commanded
 almost the unanimous support of
 the entire community, and hardly
 aoyone would have been willing to
 run against them. But against the
 method employed in framing and
 presenting the ticket THE OASIS
 hears strenuous objections from all sides. The public were ill no way aware that there was to be a meet ing to place a ticket in nomination, and when the ticket was announced in the Vidette Thursday of last week there was not line to show when or where the meeting was held, who were present, who were the chairman and secretary of the meeting, or any of the details which
 
 always go to make up the record in public matters. Not until Satur- day, when THE OASIS appeared, was any of this information given; and even then it was published on hearsay only. One of the candi- dates nominated gave THE OASIS the names of dozen men whom he said were present, and the chair man and secretary of the meeting While calling their ticket the Tax payers Ticket" it is remarkable fact that four of the dozen men whose names are given never paid a cent of taxes i'll the town, and the property of at least three others is held in the names of their wives so majority of the gentlemen who manipulated the nominations do not appear on the tax roll. A few facts like these which people are have caused great deal of distrust to be cast upon an very excellent ticket. The people are asking why was so much secresy necessary in matter so important, why were not tax payers generally invited to attend, with full and free notice to all citi- zens having at heart the interest of the town, and why were non-tax- payers so conspicuous' These are questions which will not down and which will be propounded many times within the next month.

THE SAVING GRACE OF A HOBBY

It REEVES Hope and Enthusiasm and
Makes Life Worth Living.
"a priceless thing Is hobby. The
daily tasks by which hosts Of women
support life are favorless, barren, al
most hopeless. To such ones hobby
may offer the dearest hopes Of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily
task; it will at any rate serve to enter
tain and give point and favor to an
otherwise blank existence" Is the posi-
ton taken by Carrie e. Garrett dis
cussing "Woman's Dreams and Hob
bies" In the Woman's Home Compan
ion.
"Hobbies have the power to concen
trate and absorb the scattered energies
which might otherwise be expended in
purposeless f1irtations, building super
fuous bonnets, reading cheap sensa-
lions, gossiping away precious mo-
ments, picking out our friends foibles,
dissecting our own emotions, and wish
ing vaguely for everything which is at
tainable. If the hobby did nothing else
but prevent these .frivolities it would
be boon to humanity.
"Man found out the value Of hobbies
long ago. Almost every man who is
good for anything has purpose which
he thinks Is quite the most magnificent
one which man could pursue. 1t is no
matter whether 1t is law-making, pill
making or shoemaking, he pursues 1t
with absorbing enthusiasm, and strives
to make the best laws or pills or shoes
(as the case may be- to be found any
where. And when he has not felt this
sweeping enthusiasm which the genu
Inc hobby inspires, but has been con
tent to languidly saunter along the path
Of endeavor, it will commonly be found
that his laws or pills or shoes are not
among the best on the market If our
hobby Is power which we feel within
ourselves, and which we determine to
develop to its fullest extent, how rich
we feel In the possession Of that power

what Joy and pride we contemplate It's

dancing and other games, governed By
kings called caciques. They had an

simple people showed great kindness
to Columbus and his com panions while
visiting their islands, and observing
the SpAniards' love for gold gave them
all they possessed.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
OF the World.

VI tnC w OkA0s
Reported by Downing, Hopkins 4 Co.., Inc.
Board OF Trade Brokers' III to ia Chamber OF
Commerce building. Portland, Oregon-1
Indications are that the wheat: crop
Of 1898 will be the greatest In the his
tory of the country. From figures that
are being collected and compiled by
some of the big Chicago frms, based on
the reports of experts in every section
Of the country, the oncoming wheat
crop is estimated to exceed $50, 600, 600
bushels. All the conditions are report
ed as being of the most favorable ma
ture, and while there is decrease IN
acreage the total yield will be more
than double that of 1897. In the fall
of 1896 there was an extraordinary In
crease in acreage, but the conditions
were such that a large share OF the
crop was plowed up the following
spring, and at harvest time much OF
the remaining crop was not worth cut
ting. Kansas looms up as the banner
state this year, an increase of % per
cent in the acreage having been report
ed. Estimates on the yield vary all
the way from 100000 bushels to
100, 600, 900 bushels, while the COM
bined crops of Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma Is estimated at 100, 900, 600
bushels. Of this 80, 900, 600 to 40, OO0,-
600 bushels are credited to Oklahoma
and Kansas will have 80,00O,0OO to
10000. 900 bushels.
As compared with the planting In
Illinois in the fall of 1896, there has
been decrease of 16 per cent in the
acreage, but In spite of this the condi-
tions in the Sucker State are about the
same as in Missouri, and the apparent
decrease In acreage is discounted by
the amount of wheat that was plowed
up in the spring of last year. The
1897 crop in Illinois amounted to lit
tie less than 100000 bushels,
whereas it is generally conceded that
this years crop will be nearly, If not
fully, treble, or between $4,000, 900
and $4,000, 900 bushels. Texas will
have a 100000 600 bushel crop. Never
before has the wheat looked so fine In
the lone Star state as is does now.
The harvest will be unusually early
and agents writing to their houses here
report that great part of the crop will
be harvested and ready for shipment in
June.
