They will use the cheap labor of the isl

If the open door be not maintained there

sion Of opinion by the people Of Aberdeen
On his contest ior the office Of county
auditor. Mr. Black had given eminent
satisfaction as city clerk for two years at
small salary and, noa that the salary
i. to be increased, il was considered due
u him that he should BE- reelected. Tn
til the filing Of his contest no opposition
70 him was thought Of, but, as soon as his
action in that matter became known,
many CT his closest personal and political
friends repudia,ed the action-,hat bids
fair to entail cost bill OF several thou
sand dollars on Chehalis county, to say
nothing Of its reflection upon the charac-
ter OF a number Of respectable citizens
in an emphatic manner at the polls. The
Bulletin, in It's ignorance Of the duty
owed by newspaper to the public, says
"The HERALD throws dirt" The HER
AID did nothing more or less than its
plain duty, as it saw it, and which it will
continue to Do even if its esteemed con-
Temporary should shrek "dirt throwing''
until il became black in the face. In
this particular case the duty was not a
pleasant one. 1t had intended to sup

twenty clean and scientific rounds, in
which Sanity proved himself TO be q clever

mIrane and ha was very shifty and
eleVerly blocked many OF Dxon's fearful
leads. both were comparatively fresh at
the end % the twentieth round. and while
the decision OF Referee Charley White was
a just one, II did not give general satisfac-
ton.
Neither man went to The floor during tina
twenty rounds. Dixon. began The flght Icy
rushing and :he FIRST round Was all Dix
ons. He landed twice on the head once
on the wind and twice on the body with
cat receiving . blow in return After the
first round. however. the Chicago lad gave
a good account OF himself. though Dixon
continued the aggression. Ia only one round.
the sixth. did fhe Chicago hoy appear =,
have an advantage over Dixon, bat ha
drew the only blood in the eleventh. when
Dixon's eye began 70 bleed. after Santry
had landed hard right on the face.

to Santiago 20 cut the cables connecting
Cuba with the outside world has not yet
completed that work. for Gen. Greedy,
who il directly in charge of IL. had no.
tice yesterday that the cable leading
from Guantanamo to Hayti was said TO
be still in operation. This part tcular
cable was reported I'm d press dispatch
TO have been cut, but X is proba BILE that
a mistake was made. and one of the local
cables running along the coasn OF Cuba
was cut. under the impression that il
was the main line.
II Is believed, however. that this last
link connecting Havana with Madrid Will
not last longer than a day or two more.
The cables connecting Key West and
Havana will not be .nterfered with by
our government. inasmuch as the censor
ship exercised at Key West prevents them
from being used in Spanish interests.
