PAN.AMERICAN CONGRESS,

Tho third international congress OF
American republics will meet In RIO
Janeiro next month. II VIII be an I'M
portant gathering. Secretary Root mas
announced his intention OF attending
1T the heai of the delegates from this
country. and each Of the countries IN
,hls hemisphere win be well represent
ed. The congress is the visible eX'
tression Of the ran-Amerlcan Idea, ana
we believe II Is means OF fostering
and strengthening that idea.
The suggestion has been made that
this congress cons lder some plan Tor
the formation Of a pan-American coun-
eli to which could be entrusted the
duty and responsibility Of maintaining
tine Monroe doctrine That il a good
suggestion. Such council would be
in position to speak in behalf OF a
united America. its existence would
do away with any suspicion that may
be lingering IN our neighbor republics,
that that doctrine is but cover for
certain aggressive plans Of the United
states. II would bee a strong connect.
ing link between the different repub.
lies IN thl5 part Of the world, and
might prove the beginning Of closer
relations ~ both a financial and polite
al character For these. and other rea-
sons we hope the suggestion to form q
American council may be realized.
But whether any step Is taken now
IN this direction, or not the congress
will be OF great benefit to all repre-
scented. It will bring all Americans
closer together. There are many trade
opportunities IN Latin America. and
as the governments become stable and
property rights secure. they will be
seized by American capitalists more
generally than now. American capital
will be invested IN railroads, mines,
docks factories, farms and ranches,
and the interests viii be so closely in

THE SULTAN ACCEPTS.

| And now the Sultan is said to have
accepted the plan they propose for the
| management Of the slacedolan hnances.
| We believe Abdul Hamld insisted on
! representation on the European Mace
DOMAIN commission and carried his
| point. as TO that.
This should insure a better era for
that part Of European Turkey known
rs Macedonia. There should be no fur
Their arbitrary levy OF taxes The con-
dilion OF the farmers should be bet
tered. as life and property become se-
cure. Brigandage should be suppressed,
and Macedonia should be prosperous as
Egypt and other happy countries liber-
ated from Turkish misrule.
1t is quite possible that Austria has
maneuvered this European move, IN or
der TO obtain paramount Influence In
Macedonia without the expenses of a
war. and without the risk OF European
interference. 1t Is possible that Austria
is merely trying the Russian tactics for
the annexation Of MauchurIa. This is
the opinion expressed In Germany, But,
even II that is the case. Austrian infu-
ence Is preferable to Turkish The
scheme Is to appoint a fiscal commits
sion with power 10 draw up a budget
and collect taxes, and also to reorgan-
ize the police force throughout the
country.
And now that Europe is, for the time
being at least. paclhed By Turkish
promises. the occasion would seem to
be opportune for the United States to
ask for u complete account. For a long
time our government has tried to Sc
cure fair treatment OF Americans and
American institutions in Turkey but
in vain. Notwithstanding fair words,
About year ago we sent ships to
Turkish waters to enforce our demands.
The American minister to Turkey, Mr..
Leshman, reported that the demands
OF our government had been granted by
the Sultan. But from that time to
the present. throughout the empire
American institutions, 1t is said, have
been directly Disseminated against and
the privileges and immunlties readily
conceded to similar institutions belong
ing to other countries are open and em-
phatically denied our own. II is claim
ed that Turkish officials are beginning
campaign of open discrimination
against Americans and American in
stitutions.
The whole question ought TO be taken
up again now. II It IS found, as claim
Cd, that American missionaries have
presented unjust claims. or that they
demand more thsn their rights guaran-
teed by treaties. nothing more Is to be
said on tho natter Bntsif they insist
only on their rights. and on justice,
cur government should speak in their
behalf a language that cannot be mis-
understood

AS to the Senator from Utah, who Is

wrath, he was the choice OF the party
to which he belonged. and Is not IN

late OF the Chirch In any sense of the
word, He holds the rights of citizen

duly elected to the Office which he
holds, without the faint OF fraud or

longs. There Is nothing IN his election

he has ever done, which can be fairly
regarded as a disability or az rea-

THa "HoLY ROLLERS" AT Col DEN.
DALE.-Dr. Csywood, once dentist in
Portland, now q Holy Roller preacher,
was tarred and feathered at Golden.
dale, in this State, Sunday evening.
Just after services had begun, ten
young men entered the Free Metho-
dist church, and took the minister and
hustled him into the street, where they
were joined BY . large concourse of
people and he was taken to the bridge
on Little Klickitat river, when he was
stripped to the waist and the tar and
feathers applied, and the victim was
given till 10 o'clock the next day 10
leave town or he would be lynched.
He made no outcry, and after they
had given him the hirsute dressing he
asked to address the boys, which was
refused with emphasis. It seems that
he afterwards returned 10 the church
and having doned his coat over the
tar, resumed his sermon. The com.
munity were greatly worked up by his
ministrations on account of the effect
upon several women, who were on the
verge of insanity from excitement.
