A DESCENDANT NOTE.
Portland Oregonian: Not all the Eng
lish world shares. in the amity and good
will toward Americans which just now
rules in England In particular, the
London Spectator" social and POI
litdcal journal of some consequence, is
plainly Disguised with the attitude of
British feeling. England and the
United States, it believes, are natural
rivals. Sound international relations,
it declares, ought to bring about ma
terial advantages, but there can be no
good outcome from the .wave of senti-
mental hypnotism which appears to
have passed over both countries" An
glo-American friendship comes to moth
ing. in the opinion Of this critic, since
with France Germany and other coun-
tries England is able to make just as
good or better working arrangements"
as with the United States.
The Spectator" proceeds to discus
sion of American internal politics far
from. complimentary in it's conclusions.
The syndicates, lit declares. are all pow
erful at Washington. directing the gov
eminent in tariff and other policies.
These syndicates may urge the Wash
ington Government to create a great
fleet, and will not scrupie to enlarge in
definitely the policy of expansion, be-
cause stsuch policy will divert attention
from reforms at home to opportunities
for spoil hunting abroad" Community
of language and tradition. the "Speeta-
tor goes on to say, is not sufficient
guaranty that trade rivalry shall be
steadfastly friendly; and England must
not expect friendship when. there comes
a questions of national interest either in
business or politics.
The milk in the cocoanut appears in
that part of the spectators" article
which relates to Eastern affairs. Amer
lea is welcome in field which is large
enough for both countries, but at will
not be wise to let this friendly attitude
blind us to the fact that America in. the
future will be for us far more forrnid-
able rival in the Far East than any
other Power. And this menace to our
trading supremacy will ultimately make
itself felt in every part of the world.
y On the whole, we should pre-
fer to see England going her own way
alone: treating America with the same
friendly courtesy that she extends to
Continental Powers. Nothing less than
that; but nothing more
VOTING MACHINE.
Fresno Republican: AT a voting ma
chine test in Alameda it was found that
the voters could express their choice in
one-fourth the time it took to mark a
ballot, and that it took just twenty-five
seconds to count and tabulate the votes.
Every test of the machines has pro-
liant, and it is only question Of time
when they will result in the general
adoption of the machines.
KEEP HER HERE.
Oakland Enquirer: Not. content with
robbing the Pacific Coast of chance
to welcome Dewey, the East now pro-
poses to take away from US that grand
old naval relic, the Hartford, Admiral
Farragu s flagship, which has been re-
built at. Mare Island The program is
to fill her un with naval apprentice
boys and sail her around Cape Horn or
is no overwhelming need that either
the apprentices or the ship should so to
New York, where they are no more
needed than they are here.
