The grand fathers Of congress
ard the political insists through
out the country delight in a per-
petual howl about the subjugation
of the natives -four new possession
to the authority Of the United
States. They are missionaries of
barbarism. President Mckinley
said at Savannah: "We have
destroyed the only government
these people ever had. Shall We
leave. them to chaos? By our own
acts and the fortune of war they
are made helpless Even the
tyrany of Spain was better than
anarchy for these barbarians. They
would be subject to factional strife
and the wars of foreign forces be
left to themselves. There has
never been stable government OH
one of these islands that was sup
ported by the natives and there
never can be until they are civilized.
1t is the duty of this government
to civilize them and give them a
government. The past war for
humanity was for good govern
ment. Nature gave these people
everything but self control and
civilization. They have the
richest soil and the mildest climate
iii the world. Their salvation is
good government and it will
have to be forced upon them.
What government shall that be-?
The patriot of America should not
be long in deciding now that they
have come under our fostering care
by the fortunes of war.

The chemically cured beef fur
nished the soldiers during The
Spanish war is destined tc
become a national scandal. Gen.
Miles, when summoned before the
commission, did not deny that all
unfortunate circumstance existed
in connection with the meat sup
ply furnished by the commisary
department. The statement by
the commanding general offended
General Eagan TO the indignity of
violent vituperation. This scandal
is exerting a deleterious influence
in our foreign trade. There has
existed disposition to discrimi-
nate against American meat
especially in Germany for num-
her Of years. Our relations with
that country were IN fair way to

Importance Of the Clearwater Basin


The railroad contention has at
!racted general attention to the
Clearwater basin. To cause the
stir in financial circles from the
Pacific coast to Wall street and
even in England is a remarkable
circumstance. The world has
many great financial interests, but
not many railroad contentious
even disturb the whole financial
world which this Clearwater val
ley has done.
In the first place this land de-
manded railroad facilities long
years ago, but peculiar conditions
made it disputed territory
for which the two great railroad
companies coutended. The i'm
pending war could be averted only
BY both roads keeping out The
Clearwater basin has been the
cause of half dozen compromises,
each to be encroached upon in turn
by opposing interest. When the
Palouse branch was extended to
Moscow a compact was formed
which kept this valley sacred.
The Northern agreed to stop in
the Palouse, but later a split OH
some point started up the Northern
to build into Lewiston. This was
stopped by division of territory.
The Northern was then witt in
ten to fifteen miles OF Lewiston at
Uniontown and Genesee and large
quantities Of freight came from
the east to Lewiston by wagons
from these points. 1t was claimed
by the o. R. & N. people that
this diversion Of traffic from their
road to which it naturally belonged
was encouraged by rebate sys-
tenn. This complaint caused a
rupture of a more or less serious
nature and move was again made
to build roads to thi; basin to be
again stopped by traffic agree
meut.
All of this jealous antagonism
attracted attention to the object Of
contention till diligent research
tn wealth of the dis
trict. In the meantime the reser.
vation was thrown open to settle
ment. The basin received ex;en.
sive public notice from government
reports and the proceedings of
in the course of the de-
velopment of the plans for opening

That "Despotism" Defined.

1t is really strange thing, ex-
traordinary indeed, that senators
should denounce the position the
administration is compelled to
take as a result of the war with
Spain. as an outrage on liberty
and the rights of man. We have
terminated the sovereignty of
Spain over important islands in the
two hemispheres. The assump-
ton is that we shall now be guilty
of treason to liberty if we do not
leave these islands. wholly unpre
paired as they are to maintain
their independence, to be derelicts
of the ocean. This is a fantastical
Interpretation of the rights of man.
There is a ceaselcss iteration of
the assertion that the continuance
of our forces in the islands will
strangle the aspirations of national
freedom and maintain over the
people military despotism. But
we are not fond Of this kind of
work, and are not likely to use
more force than is necessary TO es-
tablish and maintain peace and
order. And we shall go to the ex-
IRENE ofemploying the instruments
Of kindness rather than resort to
force. Our commanders are men
of intelligence, who have a sense
of their responsibility; they know
that their success. depends upon
their discretion; and finally, they
are under such orders as the fol-
lowing from President Mckinley to
General Otis at Manila:
1t should be the earnest and paramount
aim of the military administration to win
the confidence, respect and affection Of
the inhabitants Of the Philippines by as
surfing to tlem in every possible way
that full measure of individual rights and
liberties which is the heritage of free
peoples, and by proving to them that the
mission Of the United States is one OF
benevolence, assimilation, substituting
the mild sway Of justice and right for
arbitrary rule,
This is the despotism that gives
our "aunties" so much concern.
We simply proclaim freedom to
the land and to all inhabitants
thereof. We do not leave them in
helpless condition, to the disorders
of anarchy, or to subjugation by
the first conner on the highway of
the seas. -Oregonian.

There is a shortage of every
product of the soil except wheat in
the Lewiston valley. The soil and
climate are suited for the growth
of market vegetables and fruits in
this valley. There is something
wrong or our markets would be

veloped. The loss to foreign trade
will be very great unless the
charge of the use of poisonous
chemical in the process of curing
meats for market is refuted. The
jealousies engendered by the war
have been humiliating. The
splendid victory of our armies is
robbed of glory by the spites of the
heroes one for the other. Now, II
we should suffer in foreign trade
relations our glory will be changed
to humiliation.

This county is over run with the
agents of butchers from all the big
cities OIL this coast and even as far
east as Chicago. The demand for
good beef cattle seems to be create r
than the supply. The farmers Of
this valley have been deceived into
the wheat craze and let the cattle
interest wane. Now wheat is low
and cattle are high.

The Moscow papers are prone
to make insiduous comparisons
between Lewiston and their town.
They cannot compare figures OF
trade of the present, but they in
dulge in prophesy. They inform
their almost despairing bushes
men that Lewiston in the future
will have her trade curtailed 10
the present conditions of Moscow.
These Moscow prophesies have
been perpetual for FIVE years and
they have established reputation
for that town as the house of false
prophets.

One quarter of the empire

One quarter of the empire o.
which Lewiston is destined 10 be
the metropolis has been overlooked
in the general estimation of our
assets. The whole of Asotin
county, Washington and Wallowa
county, Oregon are tributary by
virtue of physical conditions to
Lewiston. Asotin county has var
led interests that will made il
eventually one of the richest in
the state of Washington. The
irrigable lands of this section are
the best and one of the largest in
area in the state. The opportuni-
ties to develop mixed farming in
terests in this region is the very
best. and mixed farming is the
most valuable interest in any
country, and Asotin county has
valuable wheat belt. Between
the rimrock and the Blue noun
tains are 900, 900 acres OF wheat
land that will pour their bushels
into the down. grade stream that
will lead to the Pacific through
Lewiston in the railroad era of the
future. The timber lands of the
Asotin will some day add much to
Lewiston as manufacturing CEN
ter. The timber of this region is
tributary to Snake river
