WASHINGTON AS a CONTRAST

The maxims upon which Washington
conducted our foreign relations were
few and simple. The tirst was an en-
tire and lndisputable impartiality to-
ward. foreign states. He adhered to
this rule OF public conduct. against
very strong inducements to depart
from it. and when the popularity of the
moment seemed to favor such a depart
pre-. In the next place, he maintained
true dignity and unsullied honor in all
communications with foreign states. 1t
was among the high duties devolved
upon him. to introduce our new gov
ernment into the circle Of civilized
states and powerful nations. Not ar
rogant or assuming, with no unbecom-
ing or supercilious bearing, he yet ex-
acted for II from all others entire and
punctilious respect He demanded, and
he obtained at once, standing Of per-
feet equality for his country in the So
eiety OF nations; nor was there q
prince or potentate Of his day, whose
personal character carried with il, into
the intercourse with other states, a
greater degree of respect and venera-
tion.-Eulogy by Daniel Webster.
In his peregrinations throughout the
country, doubtless on railroad passes
coerced from the railroads through up
plications which they do not consider
it good policy to deny, Mr.. Bryan is
fond OF quoting from the words Of
Washington in order TO emphasize his
warnings that unless he is elected
president and the mint and soup houses
thrown open to the people, this eoun-
try will cease to exist as popular
government. Let the intelligent reader
contrast the element of Washington
character and public administration so
eloquently referred to by Mr. Webster
with the utterances Of the ex-eolonel
on the duty of this country to interfere
with England's disputes with her sub
jects in South Africa. Could there be
a more foreible illustration of the diff
ference between the Bryan school of
politics and that Of the venerated
founder of the republic? II is instruc-
tive, too, in this connection, to recall
that neither any representative Of the
government of Great Britain nor Of the
Mckinley administration nor anyp public
man in the republican party has made
any reply or explanation in opposition
to the mouthings of Colonel Bryan end
the columns Of discussion in the news
papers on the South African situation
from the Boer standpoint. Here We
have an example of craftsmanship and
dignity against an exhibition of dema-
gogery and vulgarity that cannot fail
to impress a useful lesson in politics
upon the minds of the younger genera

1t will not be surprising If the bimet-
allie amendment to the financial bill
is dropped by agreement in the CON
ference committee. Not that the
amendment does any harm or detracts
in any way from the republican party's
firm stand on the money question, but
because 1t is utterly silly and useless
and loads the bill down with section
in no way germane to it's objects. From
the history of other bills, however, it
is impossible to predict just what the
bill is likely to look like when 1t is sent
to the president. The bill may be en-
tirely reframed In the committee. The
members Of the house are opposed to
some of the provisions Of the senate
bill, but the senators are equally de-
termined that the measure shall not be

Mr. Frank spittle is authority for the
statement that the excitement In the
East concerning the gold fields at Cape
Nome exceeds that Of the X ondike. lie
says that IN all the large cities he Wis
tied Paul, Chicago, New York and
others, no subject was so universally
discussed as that OF the Cape Nome
diggings, II is probable that the rush
there this spring win exceed any like
movement ever known In this country,
But, Mr. Spittle says, Oregon stands
to get no benefit from it. san Francis
co. Seattle and Tacoma are the only
places known In the East from which
the Cape Nome territory can be reacned
Portland is unheard OF in that CON
necuon Can any one dispute that
something is the matter with Oregon
in the light of these facts? A few
years ago the Columbia river was the
most prominent section of the Pacific
coast in outfitting any sort OF expe-
dition for Alaska. Now there is no
way OF reaching Alaska from the Col
umbia river, The trade with Alaska
has dwindled until there is nothing left
OF it. When the Klondike excitement
broke out the oregonian and other in
iiuences which rule Portland ex-
planned oregon's non-partieipation in
that business by ascribing it TO the ad-
vantages Of the Puget sound INLAND
passage" There was some reason in
this, although 1t was noticed that San
Francisco managed to keep up a pretty
regular communication with Alaska.
Notwithstanding her hundreds OF miles
of greater distance than the Columbia
river. and without the convenience Of
any inside passage. Portland sailed
two steamers, we believe, to the Alask-
an coast and then, like grandfather's
clock, stopped and has never gone
again. And so 1t is likely to be with
the pretended line advertised 90 to
proceed thence sometime In May. OF the
three steamers Of which the Oregon
ian informs an inquirer living within
few miles Of Portland, and who was
obliged to write that paper in order to
obtain the information, the Elder is
the only ship fitted TO engage in the |
Alaska trade. the other two being small
tugs, hardly suited to engage in a
coasting business between the close
river bars OF the Oregon coast. And
these are the preparations that Port
land has made for a share in a busi-
ness that will pay San Francisco and
The Puget sound ports many millions
of dollars! Yet the inside" passage
cuts no figure in the Cape Nome rush,
and it is an actual geographical fact
that the mouth Of the Columbia river
affords a closer rail connection from
all sections Of the country to Cape
Nome by over 25O miles than any other
point on the Pacific coast. Can it be
doubted that something" is the mat
ter with Oregon and that it is the duty
Of some Of her business men to put
their heads together with the view Of
what that something" is?

WHAT HE SAW NOT AT PORT
LAND.

Tacoma News.
ON the Necessity OF the Isthmus
Canal Secretary Of the Navy Long
and Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson
have written their views for the next
issue OF the Independent. Secretary
Long says: Il am heartily in favor
Of the Nicaragua canal and Of Pa
eiac cable. They are both necessities
in this progressive age and they are
sure to come.
Without having made thorough
study OF the question, and holding my
views subject to further light, think
they should be constructed and con-
trollei by the government OF the Uni
ted States"
Secretary Wilson says;
II believe in the isthmus canal 1t
will be invaluable for commercial pur-
poses: 1t will greatly lessen the ex-
pense Of transportation from ocean to
ocean.
When | was at Tacoma not long
since l saw in the harbor a vessel OF
about $500 tons burden loading for the
China trade. 1t had railroad ties and
flour. which it got on the Pacific coast;
Milwaukee had sent, l should say,
thousand barrels Of beer across the
country; Chicago had sent canned beef
and oleomargarine; Philadelphia had
sent sugarmaking machinery clear
across the country; Virginia and Ken
lucky had l,2OO hogshead OF tobacco in
that vessel going to Japan, Alabama
had sent iron and steel away north to
the latitude Of Tacoma and westerward
to reach that port on the Pacific;
North Carolina had bales of cotton
goods going to Shanghai; New England
had boxes of notions and bicycles. All
these in single vessel.
Now. when l reflected on the ex-
pense Of shipping all these goods to
put them on a boat at Tacoma con-
cluded that we ought to have that
ditch dug across the isthmus. The
trip Of the Oregon converted the ma
ton"
Secretary Wilson in his practical way
Of looking at things has hit Upon a
phase of the subject that Is attracting
more attention as the certainty Of the
early building Of the canal becomes
more apparent. There will be ',ome
compensation for the Puget sound
cities but on the whole the building of
the canal will draw off goJd deal OF
the trade they now possess. The cot
ton may not come here en- route to
japan. nor viii the returning silk and
tea likely be shipped here when by
going through the canal 1t can reach
its market in New York without break
ing bulk. The element Of time will be
all that will favor its shipment by
rail.
On the other hand the canal will
make it possible to ship raw material
to the coast for manufacture for other
markets.
Considered only as local measure
the Nicaragua canal viii undoubtedly
be more detrimental than beneficial but
we have no right to look at 1t from
the selfish standpoint. The canal will
undoubtedly be Of great benefit to he
people Of the United States as whole
and what benefits and enriches them
can do not lasting harm to the people
Of the Pacific coast.
Tacoma must give the railroads such |
adequate terminals, and such low
grades over the mountains that they
can afford to offer inducements for the
breakage of cargoes and their quicker
dispatch across the country by rail.

CRITICIZED ENGLISH.

Hartford, Conn, January 12.-Prof.
Arthur NJ. Wheeler of Yale university
spoke In denunciation of tho attitude of
the British in South Africa towards the
Beers in lecture given this evening in
the South school hall. His subject was
England and the Transvaal." lie said
that whatever is the result of the present
contest, the British must lose in the end.
Living on the islands and surrounded by
an almost impossible wall the English go
through the world as il there was nobody
else in existence. Tho Dutch element
was predominant when the English took
possession of what is now Cape Colony.
The Beers were forced back into the in
terror. The Beers cultivated the soil
and established institutions but the Eng
lish came in and took the fruits of their
labor. One of the grievances of the Eng
lish against the Beers is that the latter
will not live under British rule, which is
an objectionable sin in England. He
sharply criticized the manner in which
the English obtained possession of the
Kimberley diamond fields and attributed
ell her interference in the Transvaal and
Orange Free State affairs to greed and
rapacity. Other claims made by the
English were only excuses.
