THE oREGoN1AN CALLED DOWN

ments

| Col. Enos Corrects Some Erroneous State
ments.
Recently the Oregonian has beer
| giving some History" concerning the
acquisition of territory by the United
States. in which it has made some
wild statements for which Col. E. w.
Euos called it down in the following
article:
GoLDENDALE. WASH, Sept. e. To
the editor. I'm your editorial of Au-
gust 5 you say that. I'm our war with
Mexico we took California and New
Mexico in place of money" leading
your readers to beleive that the United
State charged Mexico for the nearly
two years time it took to whip her.
In your editorial of August 10. on the
Mexican war you say we paid Mexico
SIS ZOO, 600 for the territory we receiy-
ed, 526,O7S square miles, as console
tion purse" thus admitting. that your
first statement in your issue of August
) was incorrect. You intimate in this
last mentioned editorial that we knew
that Califor lila was gold producing
country before we got it. If this is
true, why did the Californians erect
a monumental Marshall as the man
who first discovered gold in the state,
more than year after it became
American territory? You also say that
Great Britain would have acquired
this territory if we had not. The alb
surdity of this statement is apDaren5.
In 1923 James Monroe, a democratic
president, promulgated the Monroe
doctrine, and Crest Britain, at that
acquisced in it. Great Britain never
questioned this doctrine until 1895,
when she undertook to make land
grab for Venezuela. A democratic
president, Grover Cleveland, twisted
the lions tail until he created a finan-
cial panic in Wall street, and caused
Great Britain to submit her claims to
arbitration. In view of this history,
why talk about Great Britain land |
grabbing on this continent when we
1ad democratic president like James |
(. Polk, who prosecuted the Mexican
var?
The war with Mexico grew out OF
he boundary dispute between the re-
public of Texas and Mexico. Texas
claimed to the Rio Grande river, and
Ter claims covered a large portion of
he territory we received from Mexico
nd Texas on the settlement after the
Tar. By the treaty of annexation, the
United States agreed to settle the
oundary dispute with Mexico and
'exas was to hold all of the territory
9 her own, as fixed by the settlement.
IN the settlement after the war we
aid Mexico and Texas S25, 1000, 600 for
be territory we received from both
arties, Sl5,OOO,00O going to Mexico
nd $40, 900 to the state of Texas,

A Treaty in Sioht.

The peace treaty is practically deter mined. The Philippines intact are to be handed over by the Latins, who misused their opportunities. to the Anglo-Saxons who have yet to record their first failure in that line.
 Spain gets, as a surprising act of gem erosity, to use the words of the London Mail, $2O,OOO,O00, and equal commercial rights in the ceded islands for a term of twelve years. A third power will not be considered words in the protocol. A larger indemnity will not be offered, but America stands ready to buy one, if not all, of the Carolines.
 This is in substance the America ultima tum, and 1t will be accepted, simply be- cause it is the American utimatum Spain is just as powerless so far as her colonies are concerned, as France was when the German army held Paris, or as China was before the victorious Chinese armies. By accepting the American utimatum she saves herself from farther losses of terri tory and farther war expenses and war : risks. and gains s2O, 100000 at least Of course, she will accept. Her commissioners and her ministers at Madrid could not act otherwise without risk of encountering the fool-killer. The journals across the water consider the negotiations settled and de- termined on the lines of the American ul- timatum. It will be that or renewal of hostilities, and Spain has had enough of the latter
 The entire Philippine question will be practically passed over to this country in the course of week, and it will be done with the approval of the great sea power of the world, and with the acquescence of all the other powers. The only Philippine questions then remaining will be those of administration and good government. Ad- miral Dewey and General Merritt will att tend wisely and carefully to such questions, until congress is ready to take a hand.

The BankruptCv Law,

The forthcoming annual report of the at- torney-general will include a special report on the operations of the national bank ruptcy act in August, September and Oc- tober. In the three months 1,7O0 petitions of voluntary bankrupts were filed, and the singular fact is disclosed that more peti- tions were filed in Alabama than in any other state. New York alone excepted. As New York contains nearly eiglit millions of people, extensively engaged in trade, it is scarcely asi exceptional case
 We give below the number of petitions filed in each state: Alabama, 1Sl; Arizona, l. Arkansas, 2S; California, O. Colorado, 20; Connecticut, g; Delaware. o; District of Co., lumbia. l. Florida, 20; Georgia, northern district, 10; Idaho, 8; southern Illinois, 3S; Indiana, S4; Indian Territory, T; Iowa, 47; Kansas, 65; Kentucky, "A; Louisiana, 2; Maine, 79; Maryland. s2; Massachusetts, 4; Michigan, IT; Minnesota, IA; Mississippi, z; Missouri, GA; Montana. Il; Nebraska, 2S: Nevada, o; New Hampshire, 9; New Jersey, 13; New Mexico, O; New York, 267; North Carolina, 12; North Dakota, l. Ohio, 76; Oklahoma, 2; Oregon, g; Western Pennsyl- vania, 31; Rhode Island, IA South Carolina, 9; South Dakota. g; Tennessee, 69; Texas, 132; Utah, g; Vermont, II; Virginia, eastern district, l. Washington, 13, and Wiscon- sin, 36.
 These figures are misleading if they carry an impression that there are more bank rupts in Alabama to the acre than there are in the other states. They simply show that disreputable practice has sprung up here of filing petitions for negroes who owe a triflng sum. They also show the need of a minimum limit in voluntary cases. A petition should not be available in cases of voluntary bankruptcy unless the liabilities reach given sum. Petitions are filed in this state when the liabilities do not ex- ceed $50.

BEES FROM THE PHILIPPINES ,m the Chica po Trihune

From the Chicago Tribune.
 There is one race inhabiting the Philip pines which will be welcome addition to American citizenship, and will be afforded every facility and inducement to immigrate to the United States and engage in the skilled labor in which it has no peer This is the giant East Indian honey bee, and in- vestigation of its work and immense ca pacity for making honey and wax has in- terested the department of agriculture in the consideration of an early effort to in troduce it into the United States. Secre- tary Wilson said in connection with the proposed importation of these bees to the United States that special appropriation would be asked in his coming report to congress for the investigation of the bees of the world, and a swarm of the big Philippine honeymakers would be brought to America as soon the question of their value and the possibility of their acclimati- zation have been fully determined. There will also be an appropriation requested for the study of the agricultural and kindred products of the newly asQuired territory of the United States and even under this head the great honey bees of the east could be introduced by the department to this country.

The Wallace Resolution.

If the rules committee should decide to hold Representative Wallaces anti-trade resolution until the session of the legisla- ture is well advanced, 1t would be apt to come up a post-mortem matter. The treaty of cession would have been signed by the commissioners of the two countries, che of whom would be that good democrat and ti-jingo, Senator Gray, of Delaware, and perhaps the treaty would have been ratified by the senate, and the cession of the islands rendered complete. The prob- lem of annexation would longer be living question. In that case the passage of Representative Wallace's resolution and numerous whereases would in effect be asking congress to give the islands back to Spain. It is scarcely reasonable to assume that congress would obey.
 If, however, Representative Wallace's resolution be soon taken up, the people may have to read in one issue of their fa- vorite newspaper Crhe Age-Herald) that while the American commissioners are en- gagged in perfecting a treaty for the cession of islands next door to four hundred mill lions of cotton-hungry people, the people of Alabama do not desire a wider market for their raw cotton, more openings for the cotton goods they are making at Cor dova and other points, and hope to make in every county in the state.
 The resolution of Representative Wallace Is overwhelmingly whereased, but its mean o,I all trade opportunities in China by denying to this country the advantages that Japan enjoys at home, England at Hong Kong, Germany at Keon-Chow and Russia at Port Arthur. It asks congress to permit the. -eVe~production of cotton and cotton goods to go cn in the south without en- deavoring to procure for such articles wider markets. It asks us to swallow ourselves to become, in word the laughing stock or nations In its tangle of whereases it dis regards the conquest of Mexico, as 1t does the annexation of Hawaii and Alaska in the resolution itself. The latter is so fear fully and wonderfully made that it cannot be even whereased into strength enough to stand alone. The use of the word "con- tingent'' in it at least needs explanation. There was nothing accidental in MT. George Deweys action in Manila bay. He went there on purpose The Age-Herald is con- strained to admit that the Philippines are not a contingency. They are, or soon will be, an American reality and the legisla- ture of Alabama should await action it can not prevent, or at least it should defer ac- tion until congress Is convened.
The age-herald., 1898-11-23
The Tax Upon Circulation.

The lower house of the Georgia legisa- ture has passed bill which provides that commission composed of the treasurer, comptroller and governor of the state shall issue circulating currency notes to the ex- tent of 75 per cent. of its capital stock to any bank applying for the same. These notes will then be used as ordinary legal tender, and if the government prosecutes the bank or attempts to collect the 10 per cent. tax the attorney general of the statc is to appeal the case to the supreme court of the United States.
 The tax was declared constitutional at the heel of the war; when Salmon P. Chase was chief justice. Congress, it is plain, will not repeal the tax. The money power will control the next congress, and they can talk a repeal bill to death in the pres ent congress. The only hope for relief con- sists in a review of the question by the u- preme court. The Georgia legislators pro- pose to bring a casa before the supreme court, trusting that 1t will be heard on it's merits, and believing that if 1t is, the tax . will be declared unconstitutional.
 The tax was declared constitutional in the case of Veazie Bank vs. Fenns, and the opinion of the court was delivered by Chief Justice Chase. The judges on the bench at the time were Chase, Clifford, Nelson, Grier, Field, Miller, Swayre and Davis, all of whom are dead. It is another lot of judges altogether. The times are changed. The war is now a memory, fast verging into history. The tax is no longer a necessary governmental measure. It never was a source of revenue. It was a roundabout way of granting to the national banks a monopoly of bank circulation. In an im- partial mind 1t is unjust, if not un- constitutional, method.
 If the tax could be set aside, the south would be immeasureably benefited It could then have a home circulation, and home money for the moving of crops, and the development of the varied industries. An elastic home currency is greatly needed in every cotton state. and the best way to get what is wanted consists in the re-
