The Ladrone islands, on which the
Charleston planted the American flag
on her way TO Manila, consist Of 20
islands, only five OF which are inhab-
tied. Their population is about 5000.
The annexation was marked by a
ludicrous incident. The Charleston
entered the harbor OF Guahan and
fired seven guns at the forts. The
governor, thinking that this was a
salute, sent word that he regretted
his inability to return 1t, as he was
without powder. When informed he
was a prisoner of war, he Indignantly
protested, saying that he had no idea
that war had broken out.

There is but one course for tho

The Washington congressman hare
won a very pretty fight. They have
virtually turned down Chairman
Cannon, of the appropriations COM
mittee, who poses as watchdog
against western appropriations, and
has succeeded in defeating some OF
the Oregon Improvements. While
Tom Tongue has made some good
speeches about the beautiful climate
OF Oregon, the Popullst congressman
OF Washington haye been able TO get
appropriations to improve their
harbors, and establish hatcherles. and

Oregon is a gold standard Republi-
can state. 1t has slgnallzed It's 10y
atty TO the administration by giving
its electors In 1896 and its vote in 1898
to the Republican party. 1t is a pity,
after our people have bound
themselves hand aud foot upon the
altar of the goldocracy, that they ha We
got to take a back seat on appropria-
tions.
1t is especially humiliating TO be

There are still people who look upon
Christian Scientists as curious or
granlzatIon of cranks who are des-
tined TO disappear like many other
short-lived fads. They cannot con-
celve that woman should discover
a great truth that enables people to
live without expensive salaried min
listers or church machinery, without
patent medlclpes, cupping or bleeding,
and without advertising their religion
altogether by word OF mouth.
The Boston Transcript describes
the communion service at the Mother
church OF the Christian Scientists
and quotes letter from the founder,
Mrs. Eddy, of Concord, N. H., which
clearly sets forth that"the followers OF
Christian Science are believers IN but
one God, recognizing spirit or i'm
mortal mind as supreme, as against
the belief that minds sleeps In the
mineral, dreams In the animal aud
wakes in man. The message closed
with a reference TO the present state
OF war In which the country is in
yolyed, in which Mrs. Eddy coun-
selled her followers TO pray for the
prosperity OF the country that Justice,
mercy and peace should continue 20
characterize the government, and ex-
pressed the hope that the Divine
Presence might stlll guide and bless
the president and congress and give
them wisdom and uphold them with
the right arm OF his righteousness.
There can be no doubt but that the
Christian ScIentlstS are well'behaved,
patriotic people.

CURRENT TOPICS.

- ONA A~N~hobBCts
One William Skeels recently return
ed from Europe TO Sacramento, Cal,
and, being interviewed by the Record
Union, took occasion to make some
comparisons between the workings OF
European government and of our own,
to the great disparagemeut OF the lat
ter.
The Sacramento Bee makes some
comments on Mr.. Skeels which may
proitably be noticed by those Of US
who are sometimes too severely critl-
cal Of our own country. Says the Bee:
1.-THE first sentence of this remark
able statement by Mr.. Skeel is:
The cost OF armies and royalty In
foreign countries is great. but the
money seems to be honestly expended.
"If English means anything, Mr..
Skeels desires the people to under
stand that the money spent on our
army has not been honestly expended.
AT the present time, we need con-
trast only two governments-althouyh
1t were easy to show other instances
of notorious thievery and jobbery by
the conductors Of other European gov
ernments.
Spain and the United States are
now at war. The government has not
been on war footing since the re-
bellion. II there had been stealing
10 the war department, it must of
necessity now have been revealed. Has
there been hint OF it? Has there
been a whisper anywhere that cent
appropriated for arms, for armament,
for clothing, for provision, has not
been spent for the purpose for which
1t was appropriated Has the gov
ernment found anything missing
which should have been In its place |?
Nothing.
Turn we now to Spain: It's appro-
priations for Its Army and Navy have
been stolen right and left. The very
sums shipped oyer to Cuba to pay it's
soldiers were appropriated by its Of
fcials. This has not only been as
serted by Consul Fltzhugh Lee, but it
has been admitted by members of the
Spanish cabinet.
Spain's navy appropriations haYe
been diverted into the pockets of her
politicians; the army appropriations
have gone into. the same channels;
while money shipped abroad to pay
her soldiers has been stolen by her
military governors.
This is not the first time that war
has revealed such state of affairs In
a European nation. When France
went to battle with United Ger
many In 1870, it was developed that
the French officials had beeh system
aticaliy stealing the army appropria-
tions for years.
No such thing has eyer been charged
against the officials Of this govern
ment. Every fact brought to light
since the declaration of war against
Spain gives 1t the lie. We have never
known 1t yet to have been asserted
even by any foreigner, save Span
lard.
The most Infamous and scoundredly
piece OF wholesale thlevery probably
ever known In the history Of nations
was brought to light during the re-
cent famine in British India. 1t was
then found that the famine fund,
amounting TO some Sl0O,00O,O00, the
accumulation of years, had been stolen
by British officials. Not one cent of
1t was left,
