situated on this planet, yet they are not

The effort OF the Nidette last week to
inject the Grays Harbor jetty into Che

were it not such deliberate insult to the
administration as we'll as to the people Of
Chehalis county If the position taken
by the Vidette is correct then the McKin-
ley administration is of such a small,
spiteful nature that it would stop this
public improvement because the state Of
Washington failed to send representatives
to congress of its own political faith. 1t
insults the intelligence of the people Of
this county by presuming that they will
believe such rot. The Grays Harbor jetty
was projected and the appropriations all
made under the last Cleveland admins.

Republican politicians are fishing ir
troubled waters for campaign issues. The
political hooks they are throwing to the
people have not got any bait on them,
however. The people are tired OF continu-
ally biting at unfulfilled and unfulfillins
promises. That coming prosperity
bait, with wheat at 81 cents per bushe
and cotton at less than the cost OF pro
duction, is not apt to make suckers bite
at Republican futures.

CURRENCY THE ISSUE.

The Republican managers in this state
are trying desperately hard in this cam
paigr, so tar as national issues are con-
cerned, to ignore the currency question
and make an issue Of the war with Spain
Whether they expect to be taken serious
Is is question hard to solve. Nobody
has any fight 10 make upon the conduct
Of the war except for the Algerism in il.
and on this score the criticism is lust as
strong from Republican sources rs any
other.
Anent this attempt TO dodge the real
issue the Portland Oregonian reads the
riot act to the Seattle Post-IntelligeuceY,
rs follows:
But the Observation-Disclosures says that
the issue before the people is whether the
administration is to be sustained on its
war record, or not, 1t is necessary. how
ever, TO remember that the administra-
tion has had the support OF the whole
American people in prosecution OF the
war, and that it is not possible to gain
anything for the administration or for the
Republican party by attacks on the oppo-
sition for alleged lack Of patriotism on its
part in support Of the var. But what
the Seattle paper means is thiS-that the
Republicans OF the state Of Washington
are to make it their first duty to defend
the administration against the criticisms
that have been directed against abuses
in the management of the camps and
supply Of the troops; against abuses
through political influence and through
lack OF knowledge and OF capacity in those
who have been given places OF response

army, and in some instances in those

DRIVEN IN A HOLE.

The figure juggler of the Vidette, whose
ability in that line must surely cause the
shade OF Annaias to turn green with
envy, has been driven into Il hole. His
absurd contradiction OF Auditor Sells
report has been so clearly shown up that
he has lost his temper and turned COM
mon scoli. Two columns OF his spleenic
emanations in the last issue. of that'paper,
when reduced to common Denomination,
are found to consist Of: "You're a liar
the fusion officials are condemned liars
the Aberdeen Herald is u wiliul liar"
1t is not necessary to smear much white
paper with black ink to reiute such argu-
ment as that, when addressing people Of
ordinary intelligence.
Every statement made in the article
referred TO has been made clear to every
unbiased reader OF this paper still, to
prevent any possible misconception, the
HERALD will again briefly review them:
Referring to the failure OF Auditor
Sackett to place the trittilig matter OF
81 900. due as interest on warrants, in
his last report, this mathematical phe-
nomenon SAYS the auditor ommitted the
item Ito keep the county within the
limit OF Indebtedness What, i'll the
name OF the law or common sense, had
the report OF the auditor to do with
keeping the county within the limit OF
Indebtedness ?" The auditor. Oh oath,
states, at the end of the report, that it
sis = TRUE and CORRECT Statement, Of the
finances OF said county" Common
rumor has it that the author Oh the
Nidette article was also the author OF the
Sacke,l report. Ii this be true, We look
for HIM to explain just what teneut Of
CRATER faith requires perjury TO bolster
up false reports, Ito keep tue county
within the limit OF Indebtedness. To
the lay mind, the better way to have
kept down the Indebtedness would have
been to have fred a lot OF politicians out
of office, who were doing s., S25 worth Of
county work which these Lying pops"
have been able to 10 for 500.
Driven INTO the hole OF his OWE digging
by the HERALD, the iuggler lets 20 all
hold and drops 10 the bottom. For
simply copying his own figures the
HERELD is called wiliul and deliberate
liar, in capital letters. In his broadside
on August u, which, by the way. will 60
down in history as the greatest political
boomerang on record, he states that the
republican officials did work ior the
county in the year ending June 80. o6,
amounting 10 $685.. IS, and that for the
year ending june 80, '9>, the same work
only amounted to S5-0.55. This state
ment the HERALD copied. and hence the
abuse. He now says: The republicans
did ten times as much as the populists. 3"

Soldiers last night set fire to Camp
Thomas theater, building that had
been used by General Brooke and in
which summer theatrical entertain
ments were given TO the men of the
volunteer army. The building was a
large one and contained many thou
sand feet of lumber General Breclk-
inridge has ordered an investigation as
towho are the guilty parties and he
promises severe punishment if he can
identify the incendiaries.
This is the only act of vandalism of
which the soldiers have been guilty at

at the park are now either at Letter
or Sternberg hospital, and the field
hospitals have all been disbanded or

MILES TELLS ARMYS NEEDS.
Says There Should BE One Soldier for
Each 1000 Population.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-General
Miles came to the war department at
10 o'clock yesterday and spent a short
time in his room at army headquar-
tiers. Speaking of the future of the
army, General Miles said that there
was a number of matters which re-
CURED careful and deliberate consider
alton with respect to the army organ
ization, and that undoubtedly steps in
that direction would be taken as soon
as practicable. The acquisition of
territory obviously made it necessary
that there should be larger army,
and the experience of the war had
demonstrated the necessity of estab-
fishing a standard and having the
troops thoroughly trained to the mill
tary service. 1t was desirable, he
said, that the army should be
organized on the basis of one
soldier to every certain number of in
habitants. 1t was recognized by mil
itary authorities, even before the close
of the war OF the rebellion, that the
establishment of standard was de-
sirable, but from time to time the
army had been reduced, until it had
reached number disproportionately
small to the size Of the country and
its population. He thought that one
soldier to every 1000 population prob
ably would be found to be the right
ratio for the standard, and that the
army standard being adopted, would
increase according to the recognized
needs Of the government in an exact
ratio to the increase of the population.
He said that it was just as necessary
that soldiers should have proper train
ing as it was to train men to build
houses, or to have a man skilled in his
profession to perform any professional
service. 1t was essential that an
army should be composed of soldiers
trained to their profession, command
ed by efficient officers in every grade
and controlled strictly according to
military principles. That military
operations should be directed by mil
itary men, he said, was too obvious to
need to be stated

ANTl-FUSIONl3Ts NOMINATE

Wharton Baker and Ingatius Donneisy
Named for PresIdent and Vice President :
For President of the United States
Wharton Barker, OF Pennsylvania.
For Vice President of the United
states--Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnie
sofa.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. s.--The mid
dle-of-the-road Populists yesterday re-
organized the Peoples party, renewed
it's former declaration Of principles
and nominated its national ticket two
years and two months in advance OF
the date of the election.
The object of this early action was
to head off any such fusion as that OF
1896. While the radicals controlled
the convention, they could not have
carried out their program without a
bolt from Northern delegates. The
Western and Southern delegates nom
mated Wharton Barker and Ignatius
Donnelly for president and vice presi-
dent and declared the principles of the
reorganized party. The Eastern
states were not represented.
1t was the smallest national conven-
ton on record, and it adopted the
longest platform on record, one OF
over 1000 words. Most of the usual
rules of conventions were ignored, and
most of the delegates came with self
constituted credentials, owing to the
confusion over the call,
1t was very noisy convention and
no connected report of the proceedings
will ever be recorded While the Peo-
pies party was heretofore divided on
the issue of fusion, it has now been
found that even the anti-fusionists are
badly divided and that the fighting
among the middle-of-the-roaders them
selves has just begun.
When the second days session was
convened the temporary organization
was made permanent and Chairman
Ignatius Donnelly made another rad,
ical speech denouncing all those who
had co-operated with fusion move
ments and strongly advocating the re-
organization of the party, not only for
an independent presidential ticket but
for independent candidates for con-
gress, state officers, etc
A letter was read from Ex-Governor
David Waite of Colorado, in which he
denounced Senator Butler as treach-
erous chairman and false leader and
advocated the nomination of straight
Populist tickets for President and
other offices.
The Butler faction moved to amend
by referring the whole matter to their
national committee. This caused great
disturbance and the Butler men were
knocked out.
The Butler faction, led by Mr..
Palmer of Illinois then left the hall
and the other faction proceeded with
the nominations.

BLAMES THE VOLUNTEERS.
Alger Says They Did Not Know How to
Take Care OF Themselves.

Take Care OF Themselves.
DETROIT, Mich. Sept. 12.-Secretary
Alger expressed himself as well pleased
at the Presidents selections of mem
bers of committee to investigate the
condition of the commissary, quarter
masters and medical departments of
the war department during the war.
On the subject of sickness among the
soldiers, General Alger said:
"The whole trouble has been in the
volunteer troops not knowing how to
care for themselves and carelessness in
warding off disease. The regular men
have not been troubled as the volun-
teers have. They have had yellow
fever and fevers from exposure in the
trenches before Santiago, but their
general health has been good, and the
proportion of sick and deaths from
sickness is very small. "
