CUBA MUST BE FREE.

Annexation Will Not Satisfy the Patriots
of the Island.
NEW YORK, Sept. PA Herald
special from Santiago says:
Ell Provenci publishes bitter arti.
Gle on the subject of annexation. En-
rique Trujilio, the editor, will say.
1.-THE program before the war, dur
ing the war and after peace was declar-
ed has been one of inYariable and abso-
luto independence of Cuba. Neither
now, before nor after, have we been
annexationists. Probably some un-
lucky destiny like death may be
against the politicle suicide of annexa-
tion. During the preliminary contest
for Cuban freedom, the irst solution
was annexation, but this was never
our ideal, only our second resource.
"The Spaniards desire it. They cry
annexation or nothing but it is the
desire of the Spanish on the island, In
order to save their property, to give
themselves up to strangers rather than
to accept the holy idea of Cuban liber-
ty. We reject annexation because it
is against our feelings. 1t is impossi-
BILE for US to live in strange atmos-
phere, or under domination, even al
though American. 1t is impossible to
deal with strange race and a strange
language, customs and ideas.
''We have battled for 80 years for
liberty. Blood has been shed in rivers
to preserve our individuality. None
shall take it from rs. To do it, it is
necessary to cut Gown woods to stop
the course of the rivers, to repopulate
the entire country. Nothing can do it
except determination of the spirit ami
mating"

special session a number of cities will
present amended charters for con-
sideration. Thus the valuable time OF
the legislature, for which the entire
state is paying, will be taken up in
considering perfectly local legislation.
We need an amendment to our laws,
providing for the submitting OF all
city charters to vote of the people,
without taking up the time of the
legislature. 1t would be democratic
to allow the people to vote upon their
oaganic laws; it is autocratic to sub
nit them to the legislature. Both on
account of economy and justice the
laws regulating city charters should be
changed.
We had hardly supposed any of the
men who took part in the so-called leg
islative session of 1897, as representa-
tives, would ask the state for perdtem
during the forty days they frittered
away at Salem; but it seems they have
a move oa foot to get bill through
the special session allowing them their
pay. Thei" scheme should be nipped
in the bud early. They never render
ed any service to the state, and are not
entitled to pay. Besides, the state
constitution provides that if either
brach of the legislature shall not Or
ganize within five days after the date
of convening, the pay of the members
thereof shall cease. Certainly the leg.
islature will not ignore the constitu.
tion by paying the men :who held up
the last session.

FATAL ELE.
VATOR FIRE
Terrible Result Of Dust Ex-
plosion in Toledo

TOLEDO, O., Sept. 20.-Ten cremated
and fifteeu seriously injured Is the re-
cord of the most disastrous fire that oc.
Cured in Toledo. The spontan eous
combustion of dust in the grain eleva-
tor owned by Paddock. Hodge & Co.,
at 9 o'clock caused this terrible de.
struction of life, and none of those who
were taken out after the fire started
were far enough from Deaths door to
tell any of the details.
William j. Parks, the superintend-
ent. after being blown through the
lower story, was conscious for mo-
ment, and said that about $50 a terri
BILE explosion occurred on the south
side of the elevator, and he thought
there were about twenty men at work
on the seven floors of the great build
ing.
Besides those regularly employed st
the elevator, three children of Super
intendent Parks were visiting him at
the time. One of these may recover
from his burns, but Grace, a seven
TEEN year-old girl, is burned beyond
recognition, and Harold, the third
child, has not been found, being either
blown to atoms or cremated.

THE PHILIPPINES.

Our policy respecting the Philip
pines will probably turn on the re-
ports and advice of Admiral Dewey
and General Merritt. Dewey in par
ticular has mastered the complicated
situation in the islands. he has
shown himself to be not only one of
the greatest naval captains in history,
but to be profound and able in state
craft. His sterling patriotism has
won for him the respect and admira-
tion of the nation and the country
would unhesitatingly accept his judg-
ment, says the Sookesman-Review.
From an ethical point of view, it
seems that any course would be prefer
rable to the return OF the islands to
Spanish misrule, or to the deliverance
of Spanish interests to an uncontrolled
native government. In an interview
had by the Associated Press corres-
pondent with Archbishop Dosal at
Manila, that prelate expresses the
earnest hope that the islands will not
remain Spanish, because the rebels
are now so strong that such course
would inevitably cause appalling
bloodshed." A number of respons-
ible Spaniards have also stated to the
Associated Press correspondent that
they would refuse to remain at Manila
if Spain were reiDstated in control of
the islands.
There is hardly aquestion that this is
a correct statement of the situation.
An attempt to restore Spail s shattered
sovereignty, or the abandonment of
the island to an unbridled native
government, would lead to shocking
bloodshed. atrocious cruelties and the
ruin of the industrial and commercial
intrests of the country. Even If the
United States should pull down its flag
and withdraw from the islands, there
is no doubt that before long one or
more of the powers of Europe would |
step in and assume the position aband.
oned by this government.
This leaves. three possible solutions
of the problem:
American ownership and control of |
the islands.
An American protectorate.
A joint proctectorate between the |
United States and European power
DR. powers.
From a moral point of view either of
these solutions would be better than
Spanish control or independent native

STATE AFFAIRS
IN CHINA
The Emperor Forced to Re-
gn His Power.

PEKING, Sept. 22.-An imperia
edict just issued definitely announces
that the emperor of China has resign.
ed his power to the dowager empress,
who has ordered the ministers to de-
liver to her.in future all official reports.
It is difficult to obtain reliable infor-
nation at the palace in regard to the
proceeding, but the recent reforma-
tory edicts probably caused the change.
While the emperor wac subservient,
and mere fgurehead, the dowager
empress permitted him to remain in
power, but as soon as he attempted to
act on his own initiative, his practical
deposition was the result. His princi-
pal adviser. Kanl Yomoi, Cantonese
reformer has fed.
The effect of the change must be
great. In all probability, Ii Hung
Chang will be reinststed and Russian
influence will increase. The hopes of
reform SO srdently cherished by the
factions of Chinese are
now impossible of fulfillment.
The suddenness of the coup Is said
10 be due to the desire of the dowager
to prevent the mission of Mar
luis Ito from being successful. The
Japanese statesman recently came to
2eking with the object of trying to
,ring about an alliance offensive and
defensive between Japan and China.
The new order Of things will un-
loubtedly prejudice Brittsh interests
n China. The wording of the pre-.
ent edict Is not obtainable.

SUNDAY AND WORK.

Sabbatarians throughout the world
have waged long and vigorous war
against Sunday newspapers, Sunday
railroad trains, and in short, all kinds
of Sundry work, apparently without
avail. There are certain things that
cannot be left undone in this busy and
bustling world, hence in certain walks
of life, the Sabbath cannot be observed
as day of rest or religious observance.
The COX will get into the ditch" and
must be taken out. In this age of
progress people would not be contert
to allow passenger trains tied up over
sunday, neither would they do without
their Sunday papers. Even some of
those who preach against Sunday
labor would complain bitterly if de.
prived of these conveniences. Then
there is work that cannot be suspended
even for day during the entire year.
The Western Mining World very sar-
castically replies to an Eastern writer
regarding the tendency to work on
Sunday in the mining districts as fol-
lows:
A writer in The Boston Transcript
has discovered that the miuing in
dustry has cultivated disregard for
the Sabbath day in the mining states.
He notes the impiety that stands out
in bas-relief from the Western
character like warts on the back of the
New England toad. In Butte, for in
stance, he found the mines and smelt-
ers in operation on Sunday when all
truly good ought to have been in
church.
If the Transcript man would use his
New England influence with God to
have the water shut off from the mines
during Sunday, so that the pumps
could tie up for the day, and arrange
to have the smelter fires preserved in |
the hollow of His hand until Monday |
Butte might live up with
Boston in practicing piety. AS it is
we cannot compete with our eastern |
cousins in the matter of using the |
Sabbath day for a picnic. There is
no rest for the wicked, it is said, and !
in the mining industry there is no
lime to loaf around and sing hims. 1t
Is business the year round.
But when the jewels are made up,
ind tie redeemed, in a halo of light,
,ircle around the great white throne,
We believe there will be more miners
here with the marks of honesty on
heir brows, and the signs of industry
n their hands, than bottle-necked
ludes from Boston.

WHERE HAS GONE TO?

The total product of gold from the
mines of the world for the past 400
years, or since there have been any re-
cords of the same kept, is officially
given at SO, ,2O3, ,323. 800; the total pro-
duct of the United States since its dis
covery is 50, 172, ,245, ,564, of which the
eastern and southern states have yeild-
ed s31. 500, 600 leaving So, O,645. .564 as
the amount produced by the noun
famous country lying west OF a mer-
idian passing north and south through
Denver; or, in other words, the noun
tainous country has produced In AZ
years, or since 1S48, when the first dis
covery of gold was made here, 1913 per
cent; or, in round numbers, one-fourth
of the total gold product OF the whole
world for 405 years. 1t seems almost
incredible that this comparatively new
unexplored and mountainous country
should produce in so short a time
nearly one fourth of the gold OF his
tory, but the figures are taken from
of the United States mint at Washing
ton, and are the same as published by
the deputy master of the English mint,
the official figures for which have not
been published.
After having produced this vast
amount of gold, still the United States
has retained only about $500, 200, 900.
Where has the other billion and half
gone? Certainly not back into the
ground nor has it been used in the
arts and sciences. The balance OF
trade with foreign countries has been
oftener in our favor than against US,
then we must conclude our wealth
(actual money! has vanished as If by
magic. Millions of dollars of it have
no doubt been carried to Europe by
American travellers abroad, but this
will not account for the diappearen ce
of over billion and half dollars.
The great drain has been made in
the payment of interest upon the
wealth that has been dug from our
mines. While we were digging out
more gold than any other nation on
earth, we were at the same time bor-
rowing from European lenders. For
eigners come here and work our mines'
alien syndicates got hold of our big
mining properties and cartcd our gold
away to Europe, then loaned it back to
us at light rates of interest. These
pay ments have been steady drain
upon our store of gold, and it has
slipped away to fill the Golfers of nom
residents.
This will continue go long as we
permit foreign syndicates to acquire
title to mining property or become
and owners in America. 1t should
be strong plea for the enactment OF
q law preventing aliens from gaining
title to any realty whatever in tho
United States. If the country is
good enough to invest in it is good
enough to live in, so no. alien, either
an individual or corporation should be
permitted to hold realty or loan money
or real estate mortgages in this coun.
try, without some such provision. No
matter how much wealth our mines
our money will continue to
disappear, and our commerce will be
crippled because of the shortage in
the circulating medium.

HOW "LIBERAL."

Astoria seeks to become the great
grain shipping point of the North
west, and her aspiration in this direc-
tion is commendable, but her methods
for securing this coveted business are
not such as will forcibly strike the
shipper or producer as being overly
enticIng. They are outlieed as fol.
lows by the Daily Budget:
"The progressive association and
the chamber of commerce have now
joined hands on proposition that if
properly handled will obtain for As
toria the shipping of all the wheat of
Eastern Oregon and Washington from
her wharves. Cooperation is the
plan, induce all the wheat growers to
band together for their mutual pro-
lection, build warehouses at tidewater
for storing their product until they
wish to sell it to the foreign buyer.
In that way they will save storage
charges, save the middle mems profits
and obtain higher grading and bet
ter prices for their grain, and we of
Astoria will win onr point in making
this the wheat shipping port of the
Pacific coast. There may be other
plans to secure this desired result, but
this one at least is feasible and can be
successfully carried out with very little
cost except the expenditure of time
and labor
This would be an admirable scheme
for Astoria, but would be q cinch on
the farmers. 1t wOnld be nice thing
for Astoria if the wheat raisers of the
Inland Empire would go down to the
mouth of the Columbia and erect
elevators and docks, and
then give the Astorians commission
for storing and selling their wheat. tOf
course the farmers will rush down
here and do this very thing-when
they can't ship their wheat from any
other point.
If Astoria would secure the wheat
,rade of thu upper country it must
pursue a more liberal course than this.
No other place in the world ever asked |
'uch "bonus' from the producers.
Even Astoria's most formidable COM
oetitor, Portland, has built its own
vharves and warehouses, and
will build more if occasion demands. |
We would therefore offer a little
rieudly advice to the progressive
'ity by the sea. II 1t desires to monop.
,lize the wheat business Of the Inland
