Discretion In News.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the new OK If1Dune-
1t is eminently gratifying, from more
than one point of view, to see that the
government has promptly acted upon
the sugR estion that it should exercise
stricter censorship upon the giving
out of news concerning its conduct of
the war. This it has accomplished in
two ways. It has required its own Of
icers to be less free with information
to correspondents and others, and 1t
has compelled the telegraph aud cable
companies to refuse to transmit any
dispatches that are even under suspi-
cion Of revealing military or naval
plans.
That is exactly right. 1t would have
been better to have done it before.
Some harm has been done by the reok-
less giving out of news Though mono
that has been very serious. The wise
suppression now decided upon will
prevent intellectually more and more
serious harm being done in the future,
and will greatly facilitate . vigorous
and successful prosecution of the war.
This latter consideration will reconcile
every right thinking man to the de-
gree of ignorance of current operations
to which it will doom him. It Is agree
able to know the news, of course. But
it is q great deal better not to know so
much at first and have it good in the
end than to know it all aud have it fill
ed with disaster. The government has
taken the true course to make sure
that all news-th0ugh it be belated-
shall be good news.

Why the Alleys are Filthy.

A good deal of complaint has come
from the residence portion of the city,
caused by servants dumping garbage,
old rags, tin cans, and all other re-
fuse in the alleys. One man said: ''In
our alley everything that you can
imagine is dumped, and the whole
neighborhood is suffering from the
smell that comes out of it. We know
who 1t is that do this, but don't feel
like reporting them to the recorder.
wish you would state through the
paper that they are liable to q fine if
reported. II the people who have re-
fuse they want taken away would get an
ash barrel. or a box of some kind will,
q cover aud place all this kind of mat
ter in it, then when the scaveneer
wagon comes along on it's weekly
rounds, the box could be emptied. and
in this way your neiRhbors don't
have to suffer from the stencil that
comes from the alley. A little care

German Socialists View.
From the Chicago Post.


One of the most noteworthy utter.
ances of the German press in regard to
the effect of our present war with
Spain IL that of the Vorwaerte, the
chief Social Democrat organ in Berlin.
After likening our declaration OF war
to the throwing of q stone Into the
putrid swamp of European politics, 1t
says:
The great republic on yonder side OF
the ocean, without csetles, mobiles or
standing army, has suddenly sprung
out of her position of neutrality to Eu-
rope, and one European state which
has slaughtered myriads of men wrest-
ling for freedom Is undone. Old Eu-
rope in consequence is shaken to is
foundations by q new power-no mill
tarism, no huge feet-yet q mighty,
overwhelmingly mighty. elemental
power. In Asia the same phenomenon
occurred. The new power became the
tongue of the scales. Even If the talk
of alliance with England comes to
nothing the new American position in
the far east crosses every combination
hitherto effected.
The importance of this lies in the
fact that it represents the view of the
thinking masses of Germany and does
not emanate from the court. It sees
that there is something working on
their continent far removed from the
politics and intrigues of European
courts and that bids defiance to all
their schemes of conquest and aggrsnd.

Mr.. REED AND ANNEXATION.
The Speakers Position In Regard to
Present Consideration Def
1nlte1V Set Forth.


A Washington dispatch says: The
conflicting reports as to the attitude
of Speaker Reed upon present consid-
GRAFTON of the Hawaiian resolution in
the house and the persistent rumors OF
existing differences between the speak
er and republican leaders in the house
prompted today the following state
ment of the speakers position: it was
furnished by one who reviewed the en-.
tire situation with him yesterday:
1.-THE question is not of Hawaiian an
nexation At all. Probably majority
of the Republicans in the house are for
1t, If obliged to vote; but many prefer
not to have the question up because it
will lead to delay, keep congress here
all summer and prevent them from
looking after their districts, and. Al
the same time, not annex Hawaii.
eff the annexation bill cannot pass,
and action on it will prevent speedy
action on the revenue bill, 1t seems
bad policy to bring IL up solely to cause
Mr.. Lodges lead 1t will have free way
in the house. In q word, the question
is not of annexation, but
of sound party politics. All the
talk about .quarrels between
Mr.. Dingley and Mr.. Hit
and the speaker is the result of over
zeal of those interested. The main
thing 10 for the congress to pass the re.
venue bill, make the appropriations,
avoid . long session, free Washington
from localpolitics and leave the pre-
sident and his ad visers time to pro.
eecute the war to q successful conclu-
sion. Annexstions will then take care
OF themselves.

ed in mastering in this volunteer army
is now nearing completion and before
very long the invasion of the Spanish
possessions may be safely undertaken.
SO far a. The News can perceive the
government has been making pheno-
msnal progress in the matter OF pre-
pairing its armies for offensive opera
tions. And vet from the day war was
declared, the hysterical newspapers al

ner of criticism has been hurled at the
president because of the alleged drag
Of war movements. And yet. We dare.
say, in all history it cannot be found
that any nation has accomplished 30
much in the way Of war preparation In
five weeks. We have made our navy the
third among the great navies OF the
world, having passed the navies OF
Italy and Germany. We have changed
our army of 25. 900 men into q fighting
force of 200, 900, and within thirty days
will have increased IL to 100000. We
have seen the total destruction OF the
enemy's Pacific squadron and q new
record made in the world
naval history. There is reason
to believe chat the most formidable
10 hemmed in . land locked harbor by
our ironclsds and that sooner or later
it must surrender or suffer annihila-
ton. We have an army of occupation
on its way to the Philippines to restore
order and hold the Islands. The oc-
cupation of Cuba and Porto Rico is now
on the programme with every prom
Use of early success. Considering the
situation on April Is, how could any
body have accomplished more than
has been accomplished? What nation
engaged in war has ever accomplished
more tangible results within that
time?
Then what nonsense it is to get ex-
pears TO be slow or because Cervera's
heet appears to be fast. A great war
can mot be fought in . day. A man

keep them. Their wild clsmors and
hysterical frothinQs are unbecoming
TO them in particular and to the pro-
fession in general. 1t may be true that
some mistakes have been made, but
such were to be expected. AS . mat
ter of fact, however, self-contained
people can but reach the conclu-ion
that the government has done remark
ably we'll under the circumstances and
that so far nothing has occurred to
shake public confidence in Mckinley
and the naval and military experts
who have had In hand the work of pre-
paration. They have certainly collect
ed an army and navy before congress
has prepared to feed, clothe and pay
the men.

Children and lntoxicants
Portland Oregonian

Giving intoxicating liquor to chill
dren is very properly classed in law 81
one OF the more heinous of the minor
crimes which communities suffer Q,
the hands OF unprincipled men, who are
frequently not Of the ignorant and low
bred type. When the children thus
made drunk are girls, the Nervousness
of the crime is, for obvious reasons,
greatly increased. There is small
chance for the perpetrator to escape
such punishment as the law provides
for this crime (which is, at best, made
quate), in any community dominated by
self-respecting manhood. Hence it
may be expected that the doctor
now under arrest in q Southern Ore
gon town upon this charge will, if evil
dence of his guilt is conclusive, re-
ceive the full penalty provided in such
cases. It may be hoped. also, that in
this event the medical fraternity of
the state will make haste to expel him
from it's honored ranks.

COTTON INDUSTRY IN MEXICO.
Its Rapid Development Under
HIGH Protective Tariff.
American Economist.

American Economist.
The British foreign Office has issued
q very interesting statement respecting
the development and progress Of the
manufacture of cotton goods in Mex
leo, written by Lionel Garden. The
fret cotton factory In Mexico,
he says, was established In
present time there are 1O7 factories,
with total Of 1885 horse power in
machinery. The motive power used is
chiefly water, owing to the high cost
Of fuel for driving steam engines. or
the total number of mills As are driven
by water power alone. "a by water and
steam com bined and % by steam alone.
The writer is gratided to state that
the superiority of English cotton ma
chinery 10 fully recognized and that
for some years past all the new machi-
merry erected in Mexico has been Of
English make.
The native industry is protected by .
high tariff on imported cotton goods,
the number and capacity of the mills,
and Mr.. Garden also ascribes the i'm
provement that has taken place in the
quality OF the goods turned out to the
same cause. The government has, it
appears, made some move toward a re-
duction in the duties, as not only Is the
bone industry now well established,
but 1t receives an additional advant-
age from the premium on gold which
competition. The writer believes,
however, that the benefit de-
rived by the native manufacturers
from the depreciation In silver has
been considerably exaggerated, though
IL really Is substantial. He calculates
that the fall in the exchange value of
the Mexican dollar from a.. to e. caus-
90 an increase of so per cent. in the
cost of foreign cottOns and of % per
cent. in that of Mexican cottons, the
increase in the latter being due to the
higher prices of imported machinery
and raw cotton.
AS regards the production, Mr.. Car
den estimates that in 1896 So ,273, 1897
pounds of raw cotton we're used, of
which %. 1856. 1856 pounds were imported
and "a, 486. All pounds were produced in
the country. The number OF spindles
employed was 44S, 156 ans the produc-
tion amounted to 7.116,547 pieces of
cotton cloth and 3.S58.829 pounds of
yarn. The production is, it
is stated, increasing rapidly, and
g. a., the present 5 rate ,e NJ NJ; Car
Mexican factories will be in q position
to produce all the plain and colored
cotton goods of ordinary qualities re-
quired for home consumption. That,
he says, will be q severe blow to
English trade, but he believes compen-
sation can be found in the introduce |
ton of finer goods with q great |
er variety of texture. 'If mer-
he adds, ''instead of sbeing
content merely to supply goods for |
which there is already demand, were
to exert themselves to introduce new
articles direct to consumers, it might l
veil happen that the resulting trade |
would prove far more important than |
hat at present existing"
