INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Next Monday is the 122d anniver-
sary of American independence, day
always dear to the American heart.
but especially dear this yesr because
of the fact that the nation is now en-
gagged in mortal combat with foreign
power, the purpose of which is to free
an oppressed people from the tyranny
of a cruel and vicious government.
When we shall assemble to celebrate
the birth of the nation. the events of
1776 will be brought Yividly to our
minds, for conditions are existing now
that are similar to those that existed
122 years ago, when 100000 brave
people in America asserted their in
dependence. Today 100000 people
in Cuba and 5000, ,OOOin the Philippine
islands are struggling for independ-
ence as did our fore-fathers in 1776.
The great American republic, actuat-
ed by spirit of Justice and love of
liberty. has gone to the relief of these
oppressed people, and on this anniver-
sary of our national inderendence, the
flower of our country, the youth and
vigor of the land, is being offered as
sacrifice on the altar of freedom.
Could a time be more auspicious for
displaying our patriotism? Could
there be time when we should cele-
brate Independence Day with more
fervor and patriotism? July 4, 1776

A PRESSING NEED.

With the assurance of an immense
crop that will be harvested throughout
the section that is tributary to The
Dalles, we can cast about and discover
many needs to increase our trade with
the surrounding country. Principal
among these needs are good roads
leading in every direction. Of course
the products from the immediate
vicinity of The Dalles will come here,
but there are places that do not neces-
sarily have to come here to trade or TO
market their products. One of these
sections is Klickitat county, and un-
less something is done to attract the
wheat of that county to The Dalles
this fall, it is liable to go elsewhere as
it did year ago. What is needed is a
good road to Goldendale, over which
the farmers can haul their wheat to
market. Such road can be built at
nominal cost. and now is the accept
ed time in which to build it. We can
not afford to again lose the trade of
kiickitat county, and since we now
have an excellent new ferry plying the
river between here and the Washing
ton side, it is time we begin building
a good road into Klickitat county, one
that will be an inducement to the
farmers to draw their products here to
market.

MUST HAVE 4 LESSON.

Spain seems to have not arrived at a
true realization of what an undertake
ing size has encountered in ombatting
the United States, and it seems that
she must be taught lesson that will
bring her to her senses. That this
lesson will be administered is now a
certainty.
The war and navy departments, by
their increase in activity, give great
evidence of the aggressive efforts to be
Immediately exerted against Spain
growing out of the decision reached
by the departments that a termination
of the war can only be secured by
bringing home the discomforts as we'll
as the horrors of conflict to the great
est number of Spanish subjects in the
shortest length of time. The wide ex.
tension of the Cuban blockade. the
announced intention of hurrying 25,-
600 additional soldiers into Cuba: the
proclaimed closure of San Juan de
Porto Rico, together with the decision
to dispatch Commodore Watson's feet
to European waters, gave new impe-
tus to the energy displayed at military
and naval headquarters, resulting in
rush and bustle which had not been
equaied since the week in April that
was made historical by the presidents
ultimatum, the proclamation of the
Cuban blockade, the first cal for vol
unteers and the actual beginning of
hostilities.
When Santiago shall have fallen,
Manila been bonn barded and the prin-
cipal ports of Spain blockaded by Com
modore Watson's vessels; then Spain
will have realized that she is not deal
ing with lot of half starved, lily
armed colohists, but with a power that
is invulnerable. But this lesson will
have to be administered, and probably
Havana reduced before the present
war will cease.

PRAISE FOR ouR ARMY.

A volunteer army should be the
pride of any nation, for the men of
whom it is composed enter the service,
actuated solely by patriotic principles,
and that spirit is always to be COM
mended, The United States has to-
day volunteer army in tho field, OF
which every loyal citizen is justly
proud, and it is pleasing to note that
people Of foreign countries. The fol-
lowing complimentary article that ap-
peared in the Hawaiian Star the day
after the first Manila expedition reach
ed Honolulu, is especially pleasing 10
Oregonians, since nearly half of that
expedition was composed of Oregon
soldiers:
"Could anything be finer than the
conduct of Uncle Sans boys yester-
day? Cooped up as they had been III
the transports, given free shore leave,
in town that they were strange to,
among people they did not know,
there was every temptation to cut
loose and show the worst side of their
nature But this town saw what prob
ably no town has ever seen, and that
is couple of thousand men at liberty
and not a case which called tor police
interference.
"Of course this comes from the pecu-
liar material of which these troops is
composed. They are no riff-ratf, no
sweepings of the purlieus of city.
They are the pick and choice OF the
growing western states. Had not the
call of duty come. these youths would
one and all be filing honorable posi-
tions and laying the foundation of
their own prosperity and that OF the
community in which they lived.
"At moment like this when all is
enthusiasm, it is hard TO contemplate
the future, but one cannot help feelicg
sad to see such fine young men being
used for such a purpose. 1t is grand,
and their spirit is what all must ad-
mire. but it does seem terrible price
for a nation to pay when she sends the
very flower of her race to willingly die
for her cause.
"Other nations have sacrificed their
dearest and best. but it is very doubt
full indeed whether any nation would
send forth to the grimest of war such
rank and file as are today marching in
our streets. 1t is inspiring. no doubt,
but it is also very depressing. AS in
all cases in life, the bright colors are
made the brighter by the shadows,
and we must consider both. Still it is
our duty to consider the brighter side,
and try to forget the shadows.

MANILA IS TER
ROR STRICKEN.
Inhabitants Offer Fabulous Prices to
Get Away.

Get Away.
PORT TOWNSEND, June 29.-Accord-
ing to advices brought from Japan by
by the steamship Columbia, which ar
rived here last night, considerable In
dignation prevails among American
sailors and officers of the feet at
Manila over the treatment of the cap
tian of the Spanish guuboat Callao,
which sailed into Manila bay about a
week after the battle and was captured
by Dewey's fleet. The Spaniards claim
he showed cowardice in not returning
the fire of the Americans. After Civ
ing him Spanish court-martial he
was sentenced to be shot, but Com mo-
dore Dewey came to his rescue and
took him under the protection of the
American government.
Hundreds of people in Manila are
using every effort to leave, and are Off
ering from $500 to $500 each for trans
portation out. AS the time draws
near for the arr ival of the United
States soldiers they are becoming rest
less.
Another source of anxiety is in the
Ease of the bombardment of Manila
what the Sprniards will do with their
women and children. They connot be
sent to the Interior, as they would be-
co me the prey of the rebels. 1t is
stated that an appeal will be made to
the British consul to make arrange
ments for their removal in case of
bombardment.

There are so many applicants for
commissions in the army, that it IS
doubtful if the negro volunteers. num-
berlng between 5000 and 10000, will be
otficered to any extent by men of their
own race. This would seem unjust.
Ii the colored people are good enough
for privates. there are among them
those who are good enough for officers.
There was bloody war few years
| ago to give the colored people their
rights. and if they had rights then,
| they still possess them, and one of
these rights is, that every colored
company be officered with colcred
captains ard lievtenants. There are
plenty of bright and brave colored men
who will make as good officers as those
''sons of their fathers" recently ap-
| pointed colohels.

survival of the fittest. The soldiers,
of whom there are 10000 in Havana,
are the stronger, hence they have con-
fiscated all food supplies, and there is
nothing left for the weak but to starve,
unless our blockade is raised. We are
killing the Cubsns with our kindness,
and BY the most tortuous methods. 1t
would be more merciful Oh our part II
we would bombar Havana, even
though we should kill half the inhab1-
tants with our shells, for death from
bullets is preferable to death from
starvation. When the history OF this
war is written, it is doubtful if histor-
iaps will give US much credit for our
mercy to the Cuban sufferers.

OUR WAR OF MERCY.

When war was declared against
Spain two months ago, it was not to
avenge the lives of the Maine victims,
or to collect damages sustained by
. Americans in Cuba, neither was it to
acquire Spanish territory. but simply
a war of mercy, to relieve the Cubans
from the CALLING yoke OF Spain. The
object was cemmendable one, but to
a layman it seems to be poorly execut-
ed.and it is doubtful if our ''mercy" to
the Cubans is not more severe thaE
Spanish tyrany.
For two months we have blockaded
Havana. Matanzas and a number OF
other principal Cuban ports. cutting
off not only the Spaniards but the
Cubans from supplies which they must
import or starve. Reports come from
Havana that our "mercy" to the Gu
bans is having telling effect. and
that women and children are dying for
want of food. This is only the ineyi-
table result, for when there is a famine
the animal Dature predominates in
man. and conditions assume that OF

CONFIDENTIAL CAREERS.


rhe Queer Story Related of Two Con-
Eressmen.
Hon. Joseph c. Hendrix, representa-
tive in congress from New York, and
Hon. Richard Bartholdt, representa-
tive from Missouri, used to be fellow
reporters in Brooklyn years ago. Hen
dirk represented the New York Sun
and Bartholdt the Brooklyn Freie
Presse. The latter, in the course of
time, drifted west and rose to be a
prominent figure in local politics in
st. Louis, where he now edits an influ-
entail German paper. Hendrix stayed
in New York, but in general way ex-
perienced the same disposition of a
benevolent providence as his former
colleague of the press. They turned up
in Washington about the same time,
and there was a cordial greeting as
they shook hands.
What are You doing in Washing
ton?" asked Hendrix.
That's fair question" said Bar
tholdt, ''but suppose you tell me what
you are doing here?''

ACTUATED BY JEALOUSY

It is plain to all that the leading
. spirits in France, Germany and
cstria do not like the United States,
and what sympathies they have IN the
present contest between the two coun-
tries are with Spain. And it Is not
difficult to ascertain why they are
more friendly to their Immediate
neighbor than they are to the great
republic on this side of the Atlantic.
They have nothing to fear from SPAN
as a competitor in the commercial
worl Id. hut in the United States they
see a mighty rival that is growing
stronger each year-one that threatens
to ere long encroach upon their ousl-
ness and industries. and take from
them trade that has made them rlch.
They are jealous of our advancement
as a commercial, manufacturing and
producing nation, hence they would
prefer to see us worsted in the present
controversy, not that they have any
particular love for Spain or Spanish
institution; but because the progress
of their greatest commercial rival
would be checked.
The grounds for their jealousy are
well forded. They see our artisans
building ships fol Russia and Japan;
our rolling mills sending steel rails to
half the countries of the world; our
locomotive works sending engines by
the hundreds to foreign countries; our
agricultural machinery superseding
theirs among.the half-civilized nations;
they mark that even now with war
on hand, the industries OF the country
are unchecked; our bread is feeding
hungry world: our cotton is supplying
the worlds looms.
They expect, too. that the exigen'
cies of the present war will give US
great commercial fleets on all the
worlds oceans; that henceforth our
nations ships will carry the nations
freights. They mark the balance in
our favor of $500, 900, 900 for last years
trade, and the figures appal them.
They measure in thought our agrl-
cultural possibilities; they note that
in metals and minerals. we about bal
ance the rest of the world: how year
by year our artisans are encroaching
upon the fields that they thought were
their own, how in the production OF
gold and silver and iron and steel. we
stand first among nations, and that
their several countries would be reck-
oned on this side as merely states,
larger than some of ours and smaller
than others. They saw S5O,OCO,OOO
voted for the president to use as he
mig ht please to, and there was not a
dissenting vote, and the thought in
their minds is, what if this giant be-
gins to assert itself in the outside
worlds affairs? They know, too, that
every citizen has absolute personal and
political liberty to do anything that
he pleases to do provided he does not
trench upon the rights of his fellow
men. They see an imperial power,
and see it governed with the full con-
sent of the governed, and they are

THE SPANISH BULL.
How the Animal Is Developed Into q
Fighter for the Public Arena.

How the Animal Is Developed Into q
Fighter for the Public Arena.
The bulls used for fighting purposes
are a specially selected, specially
cared-for class. They are all pedi-
greed. Andalusia is especially the
district of the bull. Here, at the age
of one year, the young bulls are
separated from the heifcrs. branded
with the owners mark and turned out
loose on the plains to Craze with others
of their own age.
When year older the young bulls
are gathered together IN order that
their mettle and fightI1g qualities may
be tested. One of them is separated
from the herd and chased by n man on
horseback, who, by the skillfLl use of
a blunted lance, overthrows the escap-
ing bull, whereupon another rider
comes in fIont of the animal with a
sharper lance to withstand the ex-
pected attack. If the bull, on regain
ing his feet, attacks the rider twice it
is passed as a fighting animal; but if
he turns tail and runs off then it is set
aside to be killed or to bc used in agri-
cultural work. And so with each ami.
NAL, until the whole herd of two-year-
olds has been tested.
Each bull that has stood the test
successfully is then entered in the
herd book with description of its ap-
pearance and receives a name-such as
Espartero, flamenco and the like. This
process of careful selection goes on
from year to year until the bull Is five
years old, when, should it's mettle still
prove true, it is ready for the arena,
and flaming posters appear on the
walls of Madrid or Seville announcing
that Espartero Tor whatever his name
is) will, on such and such date, make
his first and final appearance.
