fected is q problem well calculated to
tax England's best craftsmanship.
Even those who have felt that Eng
land upon the whole was justified in
seeking forcible equalization of politl-
cal rights for the English-speaking in
habitants of the Transvaal when milder
measures had failed may without in
consistency acknowledge sympathy for
the Boer masses in view Of the ordeal
through which they have passed and
through which they are now passing
by reason Of the invaders presence in
their former capital. The extinguish-

The Voice of Oregon.

Y f THERE rs any disaffection
among the Republicans of the
Il Pacific coast the vote in Oregon
does not show it. In 1896 Nc
Kinley's plurality over Bryan was
only 2117 in a total vote of 97,337. Two
years later, in the thick of the war
excitement, Geer. Rep, was elected
governor over King, DEM, by a plu-
ralty of 1854 in a total vote of S4,713
In 1898 the Populists ran separate
ticket which polled 1866 votes.
The returns from Mondays election
are not complete at time of writing:
but if the assumption is correct that
the Republican plurality for supreme
court Judge exceeds 10000 on a total
vote % per cent. below the average,
the significance of this will appear
when it is understood that this year
the opposition to the Republican
ticket was consolidated; Democrats,
ing together. Had a similar fusion
prevailed two years ago, the Republic
can plurality, instead of being 1854,
would have been only 7,70S If the
vote fell % per cent. below normal
owing 10 the lack of popular enthu
siasm in a minor state fight, the poll
ing of the full strength ought to show
a clean Republican plurality in Ore
gon in the neighborhood of 10000, es-
timated on the basis of Mondays re-
turns, or a Republican gain of 10 per
cent. of the total vote as compared
with four years ago.
This is a satisfactory outlook for
what was cnce hot bed of Popu-
lism and free silver. 1t indicates that
FAR western opinion thoroughly sus-
tains the expansion policy of the Nc
Kinley administration; and 1t offers
correspondingly little comfort to Will
liam Jennings Bryan.

craftsmen belonged showing that 2G,l50 more
men had found work within a year, and that
1928 were employed in 1897, compared
with only 10000 in 1896. It is safe to say that

AS long ago as last January, Post
master General Smith wrote to Direc-
tor of Posts Rathbone ordering re-
duction of expenses in the Cuban pos
tai service. Had this order been obeyed
promptly and in the spirit in which IL
was given, many of the Neely frauds
would have been averted. Rathbone
procrastinated and Mr.. Smith, trustiny
to the judgment of the agent on the
ground, allowed him to have his way.

Judgment but where is the official who

Il Democracy to stick pins in
the Bryan presidential
| boom is daily seen to be more futile
state to wrest the state leadership
from Richard Croker, who for pur-
poses of eXpediency has assumed di-
| rection of the Bryan forces in the EN-
pire state, is the latest and most con-
spicuous Illustration; and it has come
| about less through Croker's strength
outside of New Yok city than because
Organism accurately reflects the pre-
dominant spirit which actuates the
Democratic masses.
Hills failure eXtinguishes the last
hope of those Democrats who have
been trying to unload Bryan by
manoeuvering against him within the
party. 1t probably is true that the
nomination of some respectable DEM
oCrat not radically identified with free
silver ana Populism would have given
the Democracy better fighting
der Hryan's personal leadership. The
reason for this belief is found in the
fact that such a nominee could poll
all Of Bryan's strength because of the
appearance of his pane on the Dem
ocratic ticket; and in addition could
secure the votes of many Democrats
of the sound money school who cam
not consistently support for president
a man whose election would be con-
strued throughout the world as a free
silver victory.
Yet so long as the great majority
of the Democratic voting strength is
inoculated with the radicalism of
which Bryan is easily the most Sn-
Genious and industrious exponent, so
long as II IS welded to the belief that
| ownership of property is somehow a
| crime calling for condemnatory reso-
lutions in party platforms and justi-
flying attacks upon thrift and enter
prise, that long will it be proper for
Bryan to stand as the party standard
bearer, and effort to dislodge him will
partake Of the nature of treason to
the principle of majority rule. There
is this to be said of i,ryan: he has
the courage of his prejudices; he Is
not afraid TO stand for Populsm with
| out sugar coating CT evasive rhetoric.
With him as the Democratic nominee
the issues will never be in doubt. He
will be his own platform, and the
party will dance TO his flddling.
They say that Bryan has broadened,
but there are no signs Of it in his
public utterlnces. He stands where
he stood in 1896, Accident has sup
piled him with new catch word.
The cross of gold and crown of thorns
have given place to lurid philippics
| against Caesarism and Imperialism.
But this apart, he is the same old boy,
| furious against wealth, irreconcilable
toward enterprise, bent on free silver
and stalking his whole hazard on ap-
peas 10 class prejudice and the spirit
of social discomfort. 1t will be well
TO have this menace fairly met. One
more trouncing win materially allay il.

II NOTICE that an in
N creasing effort is being
made in certain quar-
ters to create a demand
for the nomination of Andrew d.
White of New York state for vice
president. Mr.. White is at present
serving his country with exceptional
success as ambassador to Germany, to
which position he was re-appointed
after an expression on the part of
Emperor William that Mr.. Whites re-
turn to Berlin would be especially
gratifying to the German foreign Of
flee.
The argument advanced in favor Of
Mr.. Whites nomination apart from
his general fitness for that or any
other high position in our govern
ment is that it would appeal with
especial favor to the large element
of our voters who are of German ex-
traction. Among those opposition to
what the Bryanites call "imperialism'

Is contended that the nomination of
count of the high esteem in which he
Is held by these voters particularly,
would tend to allay disaffection and
In this way add to the party strength.
He is popular with all elements in the
party; but it is argued by those who
are advocating his cause that no other
nomination would represent more of
cxpediercy while none other would
be more satisfactory on the score of
personal merit.
There is, however, no assurance that
Mr.. White would accept the vice pres
idency: and even if that be not re-
garded as matter OF great import
ance, the further fact exists that our
relations with Germany, which seem
daily to tend toward new Complca-
tlons, particularly in the matter of
commercial riValries, make ve"y i'm
nortant for the mutual peace and
good feeling of the two nations. the
retention of Ambassador White in his
present position. 1t is true that he
has done much to allay irritation and
smooth out MISUNDERSTANDING which,
had they not been automatically ad-
justed, might have led to trouble. But
that simply shows how valuable a man

a change.

ing numerous advantages. Congress

wanted the correspondence of Aguln-

he gave it in abundance. They hoped
for great things from the Couer

the sad discovery that a Popocrat gov
ernor assumed full responsibility for
| all the measures taken to preserve or
der in Idaho. The Macrum incident
came up and it promised astounding
things, but developments were nil
Wherever the Democratic watchdogs
barked and howled they discovered too
late that they were on a false scent.
Nothing "panned out" as they expect

The predicted disruption of the Re-
publican party" as the result of the
acts of the president and of congress,
has not come and will not come. The
Dingley tariff Is no longer an object
of attack, it's fruitage of prosperity
rendering it unassalable. The new
financial legislation has strengthened
public confidence and for the first time
in many years trade Is not depressed
because of an approaching campaign.
There are no indications, either on the
surface or beneath it, that faith in Re-
publican ability and willingness to act
for the best interests of the whole peo-
pie has been impaired In the slightest
degree. On the contrary, all evidence
points to increased popular approval
of the wise, patriotic and progressive
policy which came into being with Will
liam McKinley's Inauguration. If Re-
publicans do their duty, the shipe of
state will not only sail under the same
captain for the next four years, but
without material changes in her crew.

June 18th. II is expected that this will increase
the imports from the United States, as now
have less than half the trade OF the island. A
previous reduction of the duty of food-stuffs and
live stock has not lessened the cost of food by
the consumer. that changes are made in
the revision in the food duties, except to reduce
the duty on -four from Sl.30 to 81 a barrel, and
on salt cod and stock fish from $2 to 81. In
view of the necessity for the construction and
reconstruction of railroads in Cuba, a special
provision has been inserted in the tariff which
allows railroad companies to import these sup.
plies into the island for a period of twelve
months from the date of PRONUNCIATION at a rate
Of 10 per cent. ad valorem.
