THE PURITY OF POLITICS.
How inc Vote in inc Fourth Ward
 Was kepf Within Bounds

Something happened at the demo- cratic Fourth ward primaries which was not made a part of the record and will not be made apart of the re- turns to the committee on credentials
 It leaked out yesterday, was finally admitted by an election officer and accounts for the unexpected defeat of Pedro c. de la Lama the only one Of the candidates known to ho 8 ''Soapy Smith" as late as last Friday night. thoueh all the candidates were sup posed to he "Soapies'' at the time of rhair nomination three days before Mr. de Ia Lama's defeat was surpris- ue for various reasons Tn the first n'ace his name was on foUr of the five ballots voted in that ward. Tn the next place he had unbounded inf ence with the Mexican population and had brought out the Spanish-Ameri- can voters in large numbers. That they had voted for him on one or an other of the four tickets on which he ~an was absolutely certain. So when the votes were counted and MT. de Ia Lama was found to be enrolled among those who were left, everybody was surprised except three or four gentle men who had fortified themselves against that emotion.
 This is how MT. de Ia Lama was de- feated, and perhaps in the same way the defeat of the straightout
 Soapy Smith, ticket occurred: Within an hour after the tide of Mex ican voters set in, the election officials were mortified to discover that more votes were already cast than there was believed to be democratic voters in that ward. What the poll would show by o'clock in the evening was so far beyond conjecture as to be ap- palling. For several reasons the off, cials decided that something must be done about it. The good name of the primary was at stake If the count should show that 1000 democratic votes had been cast when it was we'll known that there were hardly more than 100 democrats in the ward, the officials feared that the primary pro- ceedings would be laid open to sus- picion. Then again, many of those who had voted, plainly had no right to vote. Their ballots having been cast, however. could not be withdrawn, but something ought to be done to offset much illegal exercise of the franchise. Many of those who had voted did so with a perfect legal right. put in the opinion of some of the election officers they had no moral right. They were not voting in the pest interests of society But the main idea was to reduce the showing which had been unexpectedly made
 How to do it was a puzzling question.
 A great many Mexican voters still stood around the polls and they looked as though they were going to devote the remainder of the day to the service of the democratic party. It was necessary to get them away before the election officials could en- ter upon the work of reforming the swollen, illegal and i'll advised vote

THE NEW PAPER.

Geo. l.. Hutchin has sold out the
Bloomington, H.. Sunday Illustrated
Eye to Archie c. Bowen, and with the
issue OF the Goth retired from that
paper. In speaking of the sale, the
Daily Ballettn Of tina: city says: "AIr.
Hutchin, who retires to engage in the
publication OF new daily in Portland,
Oregon, of which previous mention
has been made, psrts with .the Eye
regretfully. His magnetic personality
has been manifest on every page OF
the paper and his talented writings
have been widely quoted and read.
His departure from the local news

fraternity and also his friends outside,
all will wish him we'll in his less re-
stricted field on the coast. He will
close up his affairs here and depart
early In December with his family for
the west"
Mr.. .Hutchin Is expected to arrive In
Portland soon and possibly will begin
the publication Of his new paper about
the first of the new year. That he
has selected good field for operations
is beyond question. Portland Ia large
enough to support another really good
daily paper-one that will give the
news and will voice the sentiment of
the people, not tie its faith to'the in
terests Of corporations. The new
paper will be democratic in politics,
and will be welcomed not only by
people of that political faith but also
by many republicans who have: tired
of the domination of the Oregonian
over the republican, party.

THE WAR TAX

However burdensome the war tax

government are nearly as great now
as when hostlllties existed. An i'm.

Indies. that cost nearly as much as
though they were in the feld under
going active engagement.
Besides, so soon as the United States
assumes full control over the islands
there win be great expense incurred
on account Of the civil service. There
will be an army of civil officers who
will be placed on high salaries aud
this will be drain upon the national
treasury for some time. for little
revenue will be derived from the Is
lands inside of q year. In the mean
siune;- the standing army will most
likely be increased to lOo, 1000, increas.

fully four fold.
With these enormous expenses that
are certain Co fall upon the govern
ment it would be utterly out of the
question to expect congress at this
session to replace the war tax or even
modify it To any great extent. Since
the tariff law scarcely produces
enough revenue to meet ordinary ex-
peuses, the extraordinary expenses
must be met by an extraordinary tax.
This tax is on the people to stay for
the time, and 1t ia not improbable that
the present generation may not live
long enough to see it done away with
entirely.

MILLIONS FOR A FRANCHISE

Terms have. been agreed upon be-
tween the street railway. corporation
OF Milwaukee and the city by which
the company agrees to pay the largest
price ever given for street railway
franchise, in this country. The life
time of the franchise is to be 25 years,
and within that period. the company
is TO pay the city nearly 100000
The terms agreed upon by the city
and the corporation, explains the
Chicago Times.Herald, provide that
the corporation shall nay into the city
treasury on the first of January next
50,OQ0; on the succeeding new year
$4,000; in 1901, $4,000; in 1902
$4,000; in 1903, 100000, and in 1904
100000. The latter rate Is to con-
tinue each year thereafter until such
time as the business OF the company
pays to the stockholders 6 per cent,
when the company shall pay to the
city in addition to the 100000 one
third of the profits earned by the com.
pany after its dividend of per cent.
This is brought about by educated
public sentiment operating on an in
telligent and honest city government.
At Milwaukee the old theory, of the
public contributing free use OF its
highways, paying all fares, and giving
the streetcar company.all the profits,
has been exploded: Instead, the
principal. has been established of
rental for public land as well as for
private realty.
Use of the streets ,is 4uite as es-
sential to u street railway company as
lis tracks and cars. It pays for the
tracks. and it pays for the cars. Why
should It have free use of the streets?

policy, which seems to be inevitable at

any in the word, for we will be sudden

No small, army of 100000 men, will
suffice to back up our ambitions. nor
will ilarrow.gauge secretary OF war

army will have to be composed OF a
