are those which appeal to the greed fOI
gain and the lust for power. To us il
seems that snch considerations are but
as dust in the balance against con-
siderations affecting the nations honor
and security. But il is equally plain
4 to us that the advocates of this de-
parture are iTpelled by an ambition
which overleaps itself. and greed
which drops the substance TO snatch at
the shadow. The statistics of our
foreign trade are a complete REPUTATION
of the argument that we must extend
our commerce with the torch and the
bayonet; that We may increase our
trade without shooting our customers
and capture market without lombard
ing city.
The fact that the committee of both
houses have disregarded the earnest
recommendation of the Philippine COM
mission for lower rates of duty con-
clusively demonstrates that protection
and not revenue is the chief purpose of
the bill reported by the committee. We
are thus passing prohibitive tariff
law to destroy the trade, which we are
waging bloody, costly, and destruc-
tive war to secure. By sacrificing the
lives of our customers and putting an
embargo upon their products. it is
hoped that in time our trade with them
will grow to enormous proportion. .. /.

ORDINARY
PULLMAN
SLEEPERS.

The tourist travel between the
East and the Pacific Coast has
reached enormous proportions in
the last few years. and calls ior q
seecial class OF equipment. 10
meet this demand the Pullman
Company has issued from its shops
what it technically calls the Pull
man Ordinary Sleeper" These
cars appear similar to the regular
sleepers being bnilt on the same
plan. but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped
with mattresses. blankets. sheets.
pillows. pillow-cases, towels, combs.
brushes. etc. requiring nothing Of
the kind to be furnished by the
passenger. Each car has a stove
for making tea and coffee and do
ing light housekeeping and each
section can be fitted with an adj
Unstable table. A uniformed pCr-
ter accompanies each car. his hUsi-
ness being to make up bertUs.
g-ep the car clean. and look after
the ants and comforts OF the pass
enger- In each OF the trains
which q. dispatched daily from
Portland by the 0. R. Il y. Co. is
to be found one OF these Pullman
Ordinary Sleepers." The car at
;ached to the "Chicago-Portland
SreciaI' goes through to Chicago
without change. and the one in the
Atlantic Express" runs to Kansas
City without change. Passengers
in this car for Chicago change TO 3
similar ear al Granger.
Much OF the first class travel is
heing carried in these cars, the
.ates being lower, and the service
nearly equal to that in the palace

BISHOP HAMILTON'S LECTURE
Was Listened to by a Large and
 Appreciative Audience

A large and cultured audience gath-' night to listen to the lecture of Bishop John w. Hamilton on the subject Of Placed and Misplaced Men"
 Bishop Hamilton is one of the best known public speakers in the country and cannot fail to interest. no matter what his subject may be. Last nights a6derss was a particularly pleasing one for many philosophical deductions, lots of sound advice and plain reasoning, interspersed with jus enough humor to be entertaining.
 The speaker occasionally referred to incidents that had come under his ob- servation in illustration of ideas pre- scented in his remarks, and his long eX- perience and wide travels have given kim a rich fund of information that cannot be gleaned from books alone.
 His address was not so much the pointing out of men who have been placed or misplaced as it was the out Inning of plan of life whereby men might see to it that they or their chil- dren were properly placed rather than drift along in channels which would lead ultimately to their displacement
 It is not often that Phoenix people are given such an intellectual treat as q lecture by Bishop Hamilton, and 1t IS certain from the humor of last night s audience that the event was both profitable and pleasurable one.
