sending a cruiser to Honolulu and seiz-
ing the country, together with our
property interests there, including our
coal, of which l understand we have
quite supply in the islands. Further
more, there are in Hawaii many Ameri-
can citizens whose interests it is neces-
sary we should protect. For these rea-
sons should indOrse the taking posses
sion by the United States in time OF
war with another country into whose
hands they might fall. We, of course,
know that the Hawaiian Government
is friendly to annexation, so that ac-
quirement by this means would not be
so violent proceeding as it might
seem under other circumstances.
1t is held that in case possession was
acquired in this way there would be no
necessity for confirmatory action by
Congress.

French ambassadors and Austrian
Minister Divide Their Duties.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-As a result
of objections raised by the State De-
partment to the joint action Of the
French ambassador and the Austrian
Minister in representing Spanish i'll
terestS in this country, it is understood
that a satisfactory arrangement has
been made by which the ambassador
and Minister will divide their duties,
and viii act separately in looking after
Spanish affairs and in dealing with the
authorities here. The arrangement was
made after conference between Judge
Day and the ambassador and Minister.
AT the outset the department took de-
cided grounds against a 'joint repre-
sentation," believing that it invited con-
fusion and was quite unusual. The En-
bassador and Minister thereupon made
known their course. which contemplates
distinct action in different localities, and
this was satisfactory to the United
States.

How the Women of Mimic Took John
McCourt, Jr. Over Their Knee.
When the county candidates spoke
at Mlntothe following occurrence is
repoeted to The JOURNAL by a lady
subscriber:
One young lawyer who is running
for representative tried very hard To
impress the idea that the people here
lived almost out of the world, away
out in the backwoods and were away
behind the times and did not know
much. This offended his hearers and
after the speaking was over what few
men were not disgusted and had left
gathered together on corners and
vowed that they would not support
that fellow. But they did not have
gall enough to tell him. But
the ladies called the young
man up and chastised him
not very gently, At first he denied
the charge but in a very short time he
was convinced that the charge was
true and offered an apology by saying
it was slip of the tongue, and he
Was half asleep and said he never
made that mistake before. To which
one lady replied that probably this
was the first time he was ever out;
but to that he would not agree and
said he had travelled. This ube ladies
knew to be true as he had come from
Salem all the way up the Santiam
valley by having good old gentleman
as an escort. He also said to them:
~ suppose you would not beJieye it
but 1T is true. 81 have been in the
country and milked cows for several
years." The ladies knew at once
that those COWS were different from
the mountain cattle or they would
have taken him In at once for a
pumpkin or cabbage head. Now we
surely do not wish to be represented
by either.
After Mr.. J. W. McCourt, our
would-be Republican representative,
found the people knew enough to get
offended. he was twice as long trying
to apologize as he was trying in the
first place to get their votes in his
eloquent way. He said he hoped thi
would be the last he would ever hea
OF this mistake. But we sincerel
hope this will be the last we may eyei
see or hear of him as a politician.
All Salem ladies who can do so
should turn out to the armory this
evening and hear ma Babyh Nc
Court, the bright boy orator on the
ticket.

Indian War Veterans
Are BeSought to Come to the
Rescue and Save Tom
Tongue.
Woods, Like General" Thorpe, Offered
His Services to Veatch But Was
Refused.

A circular letter from Commander
Woods has been sent to all Indian war
veterans beseeching them to vote for
Thos. A. Tongue for congress on the
ground of the Republican party Sc
curing at an early day all arrears OF
pensions due the old Indian fighters.
THIS MAN WOODS
several weeks ago came to Judge Sc
naca Smith, Silver Republican state
chairman, and told how he could
handle the entire Indian War veteran
vote of the state, and that Tongues
managers had offered him $500 to
throw it to that gentleman. He then
proceeded to abuse Tongue as man
unfit 10 represent Oregon, and
pointed him as traitor to the inter-
est OF the veterans. He
could not conscientiously support
such a man, ''even for the
liberal pecuniary consideration :" He
repeated how Tongue had betrayed
his trust, and that he had the points
against him to easily divert this vote,
but lnasmuch as he, Woods, was pen
sion attorney for all these veterans he
could not very well make an "open
fight" However, for $3.50 he said he
would be able to give Mr.. Veach the
full benefit of this grand vote. The
proposition was promptly declined,

He Is true, and he is manly, and will

Who, for years In our state house, has

He has saYed the people money, he

To "a scheme to rob the people, he
firmly answers no.
All over this fair state of ours the

But those who live on faYors and the
