We asslmllatc food and drink. That
means that we swallow the food and
drink. and by the wonderful transmut-
ing power OF vital force We convert
them into bone and muscle. cartilage
and blood and brain. We swallow beef
steak and II becomes tissue. We can eat
hog meat without becoming hogs. geese
without becoming geese. and some peo-
pie consume asses milk without on that
account sinking lower In the vital scale.
'ri,is Is owing to the wonderful assiini-
lative powers OF nature. which converts
some OF the most unpromising-looki
viands into good flesh and blood. These
processes, however, are usually preced-
ed by the act Of swallowing the mater
ials.
What Mr.. Mckinley meant by "he-
nevolent assimilation we do not pre-
tend to say. II may have suited him all
the better because 1t Is susceptible OF
two interpretations. But nations have
their assimilattve powers as well as In
dividuals. We swallowed Louisiana and
nsslmilatcd that. We found the two
FlorIdas easy of digestion,a and made one
of them. California and Nevada were
made bone of our bone and flesh of our
flesh. Texas was dead easy. New Mex

they have been largely assimllated. In
Alaska the process has been slower. not
on account of the character Of the peo-
pie. but owing to the hnrshness of the
climate, though even there the process
is going on with accelerating speed. All
this has happened In the way Of expan-
sion. Besides this. we have swallowed
by the immigration process millions Of
other foreigners who have either been
asslmilated or are in q fair way to be.
We can generally distinguish foreign
born citizens. unless they came here
very young. from natives. but in their
children the differences often disappear
to such an extent that we cannot dis
,inguish the children of the foreign
born from those of the natives. Our
powers of assimilation are not yet ex-
haustcd.

Journalism, Personal and other.

Chicago Evening Post: 1t is strange
that any newspaper man should be de-
ceived by the sophistical arguments adj
vanced in Europe--in France more es-
peciully-in favor of so-called personal
or responsible" journalism. Reflection
will convince an intelligent journalist
that signed journalism would impair
the strength and prestige OF ncwspa-
pers. without increasing responsible
ity." The whole Is greater than any
of Its parts and the opinion of a news
paper Is naturally more authoritative
and influential than the view Of any
individual connected with it. The no.
tons OF "A. B." or &c. d." who hap
pens to be member Of the editorial
staff Of the Evening Post are of no in
terest or Importance to the community,
but the judgment Of the paper itself Is
of recognized weight This Judgment
Is mere than IN expression of the wri-
tcrs views; 1t not only has the sane
ton Of the editor and publisher, but is
RIGHTLY supposed to represent the ideas
and sentiments Of the entire constit-
uency served by the paper. Every
paper adopts Il certain standard and
moral and intellectual principles. 1t
becomes champion of all those who
accept this standard and these princi-
pies. Its authority is measured by the
Importance in the Givcn society OF the
element for which II speaks.
Signed journalism Will not help John
Jones, but it will weaken the paper
which employs him. Or course, in
stead Of printing the articles of un-
known men. 1t Is possible TO obtain the
expressions OF experts and distinguish
ed men. We might ask Senators Hoar
and Davis to discuss annexation. Toss
and Bailey 20 write about the navy bill,
lola and Drumont to send us their
views on Inc court of cessation and
Beaurepairc's scandal. But every real
newspaper publishes their views in any
case. and nothing would be gained. The
editorial page would simply be de-
stroyed. The newspaper would lose
its Individuality and power.

The finding of the courtmartial In the
case Of General EaGan was no surprise
to those who have been following up
the case, but in connection with the
matter the recommendation from the
courtfo the exercise of executive Glenn
ency will doubtless receive the approval
of the public. Notwithstanding the SEN
tence is dismissal from the service.
Under the regulations the court could
not fix any other penalty than dismissal!
from service, and only the President
can mitigate the sentence II he con-
ceives 1t proper, for he is the final re-
viewing authority. There is no doubt as
to Gen. Eagans mental irresponsible
ity, and If the President regards the
case in that manner he will in all prob
ability make fhc punishment as merc!-
fu! as would be consistent with that
view Of the matter.

the part of the Spanish government
representatives and organs. that they.
are expressing confidence that under
American control of the archipelago,
whatever interests their subjects have
there. their property rights. ETC., would
be safe. One OF the pleasing outcomes
of the thrashing Spain received at our
hands has been that she has learned TO
respect the integrity Of the United
States.

Its time and attention TO the effort to

In Charleston special In the Sunday
News. reference Is made to the consid-
GRAFTON OF the governors appointments
by the senate. and the statement is
made that mo trouble is expected il,
considering them. as Senator Elsias
persuaded the governor TO drop his
scheme of vengeance against Secretary
of State Dawson" This absurdity
doubtless is based upon an untruthful
and entirely unfoundcd story that
there was lack of harmony between
Mr.. Dawson and the governor. There
was no Scheme Of vengeance" The
stc.y was made OF whole cloth; there
never was ard is not now any ground
for 1t, and there were no conditions at
any time that could give rise to the re-
port.

Welcome home TO the Oregon boys,
our hearts all beat with cheer.
All honor should be gwen them
Boys Of our hearts most dear.
You left your places at the dear old
home
To help free an enslayed race,
Your missions filled and YOU are willed
In every heart a place.
YOU were the first TO volunteer;
Your fame has been far spread.
YOU showed not single fear,
But did as your leader said.
How hard il was 10 say goodbye"
But harder still to be
In Il land where naught is known
OF Christian love and charity.
You endured the hardships Of the bat
tie aud camp,
You worked both night and day;
All honor then, again and again,
To those who fought on Manila bay,
The American people feel quite proud
OF you, the Second Volunteers,
Who helped show Spain, without re-
strain,
That Americans were her peers.
From soldier work you now are free,
And JOY doth reign supreme.
At peace you'll be until you see
Another nation 10 redeem.
God bless our noble conntrymen-

Who, in the time of greatest need,
Rescued a nation by doing their best

And covers her eyes and sheds hot tears
For boy who will never come

And leans on his resting pow
With toil-worn hand and wrinked face,
And gray hairs on his brow.

But his heart responds with broken sigh
For boy who will never come.
Two little children, hand in hand,
Walk down the crowded street.
And scan each face in the line that steps

But they look in vain for a brothers face
Whom they long to WelcomeShome
And two children'S hearts are filled with grief
For boy VINO will never come.

But her sad young heart beats funeral dirge
For boy who will never come
