Lewiston should have a public
park. The work of growing the
trees should be inaugurated with
out delay. The city perhaps owns
suitable grounds, and they should
be dedicated to the public at once,
and the work of identifying then
should not be delayed. Every city
OF importance has its public
grounds, and Lewiston needs such
resorts more than other cities. A
park in Lewiston can be made
most beautiful by small outlay Of
labor. Plants, flowers and trees
grows here with the least possible
care. 1t will not be many years
till shady retreat from the suns
summer heat will become neces.
slty in Lewiston, and economy de.
mands that park be established
without delay.

Making 1t Hot tor Aguinaldo.

Early this week over 1900 more
regulars are due at Manila. This
is good news, says the Globe DEM
ocrat. Our lines are extending
around the city and the work of
driving back the Tagal guerrillas
is pushed with energy. The
stealthy night assaults of the Fill
pinos are not calculated to make
Our brave men partial to a
campaign of moral suasion. A
non-expansionist in that neighbor-
hood would soon be converted to
the expediency of striking the
enemy with all possible vigor and
wiping out the villages where he
finds refuge and supplies. The
American casualties of late have
been numbering ten or twenty a
day, and most of these are due to
prowling tactics. There is but
one remedy in such case. Our
troops will apply it just as Gen.
Wheaton did when his brigade
swept the country for fifteen miles,
driving hundreds Of the skulkers
to their death and burning every
village on the route.
AS matters stand the Tagal
hostilities are on precisely the
SAME footing as an Indian war.
Our title to the Philippines is as
good as that to the region west OF
the Mississippi and it will be de-
Tended in like manner, Unnecessary.
1t is easy for persons of weak
patriotism. and no American spirit.
to sit comfortably at home and in
dulge in sentimental gush about
Tagal freedom. and to SWIVEL over
a fancied imperialism, but our
soldiers at Manila, the targets OF
midnight raiders, will strike hard
for the national dignity and
supremacy as we'll as for their own
safety. The harder they hit the
better 90 per cent of the American
people will like it and they will
glory in the opportunity to furnish
more troops Of the same kind.
The war the Tagals are making is
simply a form of assassination. 1t
is vindictive and harassing with
out the slightest hope of general
success, and this is savagery.

The partitioning of Africa by
European powers is very signifi.
cant at this time. The Chinese
question is brought to the fore as a
live issue by the division of Africa
by the great powers at interest. 1t
is now almost certain that China
will be looked upon as the allot-
ment of other powers In the great
scheme of division. This appor-
tionment. cannot come peaceably.
The prize is too rich to be awarded
without the outburst of the spirit
Of covetousness. The United States
is not now in a position to regard
this subject with indifference. In
a financial sense this government
and the commerce of this coast
will be benefited by the division of
China between the great progress
i've nations Of the world. On the
other hand our political interests
will be effected by the precedent
and policy of expansion of other
great nations. The Monroe doc
trine is still regarded sacred by the
American people. The acquisition
Of territory on the American con-
tinent by European power would
be resented. On the other hand
the policy of expansion which is
now an American principle, but
we restrict the expansion Of other
powers. This complication invests
the division of Africa and the par
tition Of China with new politi-
cal interest here at home. We do
not covet any slice OF China, but
we are interested in the scheme
and would like to know where di-
vision and expansion will logically
end.

Vineland Management.

Prof A. B. Leckenby, an expert of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture; visited Vineland the other
day. Prof. Reckenby had four years
experience as chief advisor and irri-
CATION expert to the great Kern
County Land company of California,
aud has spent many years in study
of colony work on irrigated lands.
1t is therefore of great interest to
know that he endorses the methods
of the management as being the
best he has seen in vogue in
any similar enterprise, and worthy
of emulation by managers of other
companies. The policy of the Vine
land company is to encourage and
assist the thrifty settler in all proper
ways; not with money, but with easy
payments for the lands, furnishing
employment for surplus labor, and
especially in giving each settler the
benefit Of years Of study and exper-
fence in irrigation farming, and home
building, while never interfering
with man independence in thought
and action. Careful restrictions in
the contracts and deeds mutually pro-
tect all of the settlers, as well as the
company, and are found to work well
i'll practice.

In Queensland, Australia, a
great region, more tropical, per-
haps, than the island of Luzon,
Europeans are constantly engaging
in industry. The following on
industrial expansion in Queens
land is from an article by T. M.
Donovan, in the Westminster
Review:
Where a few years ago there
was a large plantation worked by
gangs of South Sea islanders, there
are now 20 or 80 comfortable
homesteads. And the contention
that white European labor could
not stand the field work is blown
into thin air by the practical ex-
perience of thousands of white
laborers all along the coast. The
black labor question is setting
!
itself; it is only matter of time
until the sugar industry can
entirely do away with kanaka la.
Dor.
People Of the Northern races
white people-can live in the
tropics, if they desire. The
Ceylon Observer recites case after
case of officers, planters, doctors.
etc., who have lived from IS up to
So years in Ceylon and have re-
tanned almost continuous good
health. 1t also refers to Dutch
families descend from settlers who
came out from $50 to 200 years
ago, and who have maintained
average good health even in the
hot country of the plains. In the
Moluccas there are even more
striking examples, many Of the
Dutch familiea having been con-
tinuously on the islands for goo
years, and they have still the
fair compilations and robustness oil
form characteristic of their klnsfolk
in Holland The government
| physician at Amboyna, German,
declares that the race is quite as
prolific as in Europe, families oil
ten or dozen children being not
uncommon.

Life in the Tropics.

According to the Oregonian the
noted scientist, Alfred Russell Wal
lace, says so far as climate is con-
cerned, white men can live and
work in the tropics. if they
have to. They are doing it to-day
all over Queensland, where tie
climate is exceedingly tropical.
Work Of some sort is the condition
of health there as in some cooler
regions. Outdoor work or play
there must be for the best results.
As for tropical diseases: The yell
low fever is legacy of the slave
trade. The malarial fevers are an
incident of the impact of civiliza-
ton upon nature. my own ex-
perience, says Mr.. Wallace, "has
shown me that swamps and marsh
es near the equator are perfectly
healthy so long as they are left
nearly in state of nature that
is, covered with a dense forest or
other vegetation. 1t is when ex-
tensive marshy areas are cleared
for cultivation, and for half the
year are dried up by the tropical
sun, that they become deadly" Is
it to be supposed that modern
science cannot in time get the up
per hand of the tropical diseases
1t is the belief and prophecy of
this eminent naturalist that ere
long the great advantages of life
in the choice parts of the tropics
will draw white men to them. He
says:
If we take the belt about 1000
miles wide, extending from twelve
to fifteen degrees north and south
of the equator we have an enor.
nous area, by far the larger part of
which is not only well adapted for
European colonization in the true
sense. that is, for permanent
occupation by white men, but is
also, with proper sanitary precau-
tons, the most healtay and onjoy-
able part of the world, and that in
which the laborer can obtain the
maximum return with tina mini
mum of toll. Houses may be
slighter and far less costly; cloth
ing may be reduced to less than
halt what is required here; fuel is
only wanted for cooking; while the
enjoyabilitv of the early morning
hours is so great that everybody
rises before the sun, and TINS com.
paratively little artificial light is
required. When all this is fully
realized we may hope to see coop
erative colonies established in
many tropical lands, where fami-
lies of the same grade of education
and refinement may so live as
really TO enjoy the best that life !
can give them.

Two more big mining deals in
the interior have been reported this
week. 1t is now said that the De-
Lamar company has secured in
terests valued at nearley half a
million dollars aud another Buffalo
property has been transferred to
Philadelphia parties for a quarter
of million dollars. These trans
fers represent remarkable values.
The wealth of the country cannot
he doubted when such conservative
capitalists invest large sums OF
money. Any one of these invest
ments will insure the immediate
development of the various camps
and any one of the mines if it
justifies' the outlay will make
Lewiston great mining center.

The business men on the lower
Columbia river have organized for
the purpose of putting in an indie
pendent tr,ffic line to the sea. A
portage railway will be built at
The Dalles, and line of steamers
will be put on above the falls.
This will give a free outlet to the
sea. The enterprise should be
given due consideration by all
shippers of. the Inland Empire.
This little portage road will give
all who are within reach of the
river the benefits Of an open river
to the sea, This question is OF
great significance to Lewiston. A
portage road at The Dalles will
make Lewiston practically indie
pendent Of possible railroad traffic
combinations. A boat can load
freight here and deliver it to indie.
pendent boats on the lower river.
This incident exemplifes Lewis
tons advantage over all interior
points. 1t makes Lewiston the
natural gateway to the whole inter.
ior country. There is but one
obstruction in the river, and that
can, if not already so, be over
come even by local capital. This
will in the future insure Lewiston
a discriminating freight rate that
will bring the trade OF the interior
to this point. All argument that
Lewiston will have a rival in the
interior falls before this fact. A
business house in Lewiston could
even put boat on the river and
transport its own freight from The
Dalles to Lewiston. The freight
paid by one of L,ewiston's mer.
chants in year would build steam-
boat that would make him indie
pendent of railroad combines.
How then can any big business en-
terprise be safely established in the
interior of the empire of which
Lewiston is the gateway? 1t is
only matter of short time till
we have an open river to the sea
with all the advantages of opposi-
ton water freight rates. And be-
sides this advantage Lewiston will
have the advantage of natural wa.
ter grade railroad lines to all
points of the interior, and even to
the upper Snake river basin. The
mines of the Seven Devils, as we'll
as the great camps of lhe Clearwa-
ter basin are tributary to Lewis
ton. The works for the reduction
OF ores must be located here in the
near future, as we'll as all other fac
tories and mills for the same con-
sideration of freight rates.

Dun's Review of March II says:
Traders and manufacturers can
emily sell when wage. earners can
buy, and in proportion to their
buying power. Those who fail to
comprehend what such change
may mean have only to consider
that tenth increase in the wages
Of all labor would put into the

entire value of exports to all
