JEFF DAVIS once said: "I would
sooner have an honest man on any sort
of a rickety platform you could con-
struct, than to have man [ could not
trust on the best platform which could
be made" This saying is true, and
that is one reason why Mckinley
should be nominated. He would be a
platform in himself.

The Globe Democrat says" McKin-

names in American history are Wash
ington and Lincoln, and furthermore
there is no danger of losing delegates
by talk of that kind" 1t might fairly
be added that Mckinley never loses
delegates by any public utterances he
makes. He keeps close to the people
and ignores the bosses when necessary.

THE FIGURES MISLEADING.
Revised Figures on the city's State of
Finances.

In order to get at the actual figures
concerned in the city's finances, sug-
gested by the article in Saturdays issue
of this paper, representative of the
News called on City Engineer David
son to get the exact standing of the
city and get it from official sources.
1t was found that the figures given
Saturday as coming from a prominent
business man were misleading.
To begin with the city debt is $l70,-
900, not $105,000, and Mr.. Davidson
said he did not know that the city was
under any other obligation than an inn
piled one to pay the $4,000 per year on
the principal. 1t is, of course, optional
with the city to redeem any, all or none
of its bonds as it sees fit. Mr.. David
son says:
EIn relation to the water works the
statement that the city is compelled to
redeem $4,000 in bonds each year is
also untrue. The city agreed to pay
each year toward principal and inter
est $9,204, at which rate the whole
principal will be paid in about "a years
The citizen did not say anything about
the revenue from private consumers.
The fact is the city does not have to
pay as much now while purchasing the
plant as it did under the old artesian
water regime. The accounts stands
thus:
Yearly payment principal and interest S 9,204
Operating expenses ...................... $500
Yearly revenue from private con-
sumption 49,. ............S110 900
Balance against the city .......... 1,704

Against this 81, 7O4 put the expenses
of previous years:
Hydrant rental ................S1 $50
Steamer engineers. ...... ........ 800
Hauling steamers. ....... $50
A total of -. .......................S2. 800
An actual saving in expense to the
city Of about 81, 100, without mention
ing the difference in the service and
the fact that at the end of the twenty
four years the plant will be the city's
and will bring a large revenue to the
city and without taking into account
the increase in revenue from private
consumption as the city grows.
Now if sou will look at the compar-

Quite difference.
Now, in the case of the electric light
there will be a greater saving to the
city than in the case of the water
works. The two stations would be
combined and the engineers now run
ming the water works plant could just
as we'll run the combined plants thus
effecUing for the city a saving of at least
So, 1000 that separate private company
cannot enjoy. The city would also put
in high grade engines cutting the con-
sumption of coal down to a minimum.
Looking at the offer made by the
present electric light company we find
that on ten year contract for an all
night service of $50 lights, they demand
500 per light per year, total of SILL
900. On the Wheeler plan the city will
pay SO, 800 per year (not $40, lao as
quoted Saturday, at which rate the
plant will belong to the city at the end
of four and one half years. The rev.
enue from private consumption will
more than pay the operating expenses,
so that for ten years we find on the
ownership plan, the city pays for four
and a half years Of the ten So, $50 a
a year and for the remaining five and
one half years nothing, or total of
So, 12O against ten years at $ll $3.50, or
$l19, 800, not to mention that in the

the city owns plant worth at least
$4,000, while in the second case it has
nothing"

about her, who every now and then let
their emotions run away with them. Her
sole comment concerning everything was

try by their admirers. who believed their

ton. Up to this morning, however, the
committee had not agreed upon report.
When they met to-day and compared
notes it was not long before the sentiment
for Western man showed ITSELF and then

where he remained four years. At that
time McMinnville College needed presi-
dent and be was selected as the most avail

their own ward.
Mr.. Church's plan is to convert the Sec

changes would have to be made, but
very little expense would be incurred
and no other outlay of money would have

KANT AND HIS THEORIES
DR.. John Watson's Lecture on
the Great Philoso-
pher.
Second of the Series of Addresses Be.
fore the Philosophical Union
at Berkeley.

BERKELEY, CAL, May 5.-Dr. John
Watson gave the second of his series of
FIVE lectures before the Philosophical
Union of the State University this even
ing at the new Firs. Presbyterian Church.
The lecture was practically a continuation
of the discourse commenced last evening.
The subject for tonight, as DR.. Watson
announced it. was, ''Critical philosophy
and absolute idealism, discussion of the
main features of the philosophy of Kant
in it's relation to the subsequent develop
ment of philosophical thought"
zone characteristic of Kant" said he,
"is that he takes the negative side in which
he adheres to agnosticism. The doctrine
of space of time which Kant treats is
bound up with the phenomena of the ag-
nostic. All objects that present themselves
under the form of space and time are
phenomenal. Kant, like his predecessors
stated with confidence that the work of
nature is under an independent law. On
the other hand, it seemed TO him 10 say
that man is only part OF nature is only
to deny freedom, and therefore morality,
and to say that there is no knowledge is TO
deny the existence of God and to destroy
the foundation of religion. Liebnitz es-
capped from the necessity OF nature by re-
ducing the world of experience to confused
view self-determined. 1t was the view OF
LiebnitZ that no real existence acts on an
other.
when the action OF one is due to the
action of the other the fact is that there is
the greatest of harmony between them.
Kant does not deny that there Is a world
OF sef-action. bnt ne does deny that you
cannot bring those beings in it within the
world of experience. The first form of the
problem of knowledge which is presented
by Kant is not to show that we do have
knowledge, but to express how we can
have knowledge, not merely OF particular
facts, but knowledge OF the laws of nature.
Kant maintains that space and time must
be carefully distinguished from subjects
time are necessary conditions of our per-
ception. Space and time are not concep-
tions but perceptions. Remove the con-
sciousness of externality and no other con-
sciousness is possible.
"a second doctrine of Kant is Of value
in drawing process of knowledge and of
differentiation, which are relative to an
ideal unity. The process of knowledge is
one of differentiating and distinguishing.
Kant's doctrine implies that the process
of development of objects is not the ulti-
mate determination"
The speaker went on to compare his
views with those of Kant and of Lieb-
nitz wherein he agreed with them and
wherein he disagreed. His discourse was
of an hour and halfs duration.
Tomorrow evening he will speak at
Stiles Hall. taking for his topic "a De-
tense of Intellectual IdeaIism." On
Thursday evening the same topic will be
continued at the same hall. At these
lectures he viii reply to criticisms which
have been made on his work of Conn pte,
Mill and Spencer" which work the union
has been reading for the past year.

MARTINELLI RELEASED.
Was Bailed Out with Money Deposited
by His Father Years
Ago.

OAKLAND, CAL, May 5.-Eugene Mar
tlnelli. the hunchback groom who is under
arrest for perjury, has been released on
$500 cash bond advanced by his attorney.
Alexander Campbell.
The bail money was secured in a some
what peculiar manner. The father of
Martinelli. now deceased, in 1872 depos-
tied in an Oakland bank $52. No notice
was taken OF the deposit until few days
ago, when a bank clerk notified Mr.
Campbell of the deposit, which had grown
20 over $500. The attorney drew the
money and secured the release of his
client, whom he has known since child
hood. The young man has many friends.
He stands we'll in the community, and as
1t is deemed almost certain that he will be
acquitted.
