Dougald Gillis. Republican nominee
for Supervisor in the First District, is
one of the best-known citizens Of the
county. He has been engaged in busi-
ness in Sacramento and in the First
District for near thirty years. He has
been from the commencement Of his
political beliefs a Republican, always
a partisan in the broader and better
meaning Of the term. He enjoys an
enviable reputation for integrity,
straIghtforwardness and business COM
potency. A man Of liberal views,
economic habits plain speaking and
fair dealing, he will make, we take it,
an ideal official in the position to which

Prohib bition has failed in Vermont.
Next to Maine Vermont has been the
most stalwar-t of prohibition States. The
original prohibition law was placed
upon the statute books in 1851. But
| during the last ten years or more the
law has been taking its place among
| the dead letter enactments. It is now a
scandal in that State that the laws pro-
hibiting liquor sales. are not enforced,
and that the sale of spirits is practic-
ally unrestricted in all the large towns,
and is but thinly masked in the small
| ones. The Democratic party has for
years been denouncing the law, but
the Republicans have stood by it, with
out, however, accepting the charge that
it originated the system. At the late
State Democratic Convention the plat
form was made to carry a plank de-
nouncing the Republican party. as the
dominant one, for permitting the pro-
hibitory laws to remain as the sources
Of scandal and shame, because of the
| violations to which they are subject.
AS result the Republicans are mani
Testing a disposition to abandon the
prohibition and strike off laws which
have become dead letters, and to substi-
tute regulative measures under which
fair police control of the liquor traffic
can be maintained. That the people
are much Of mind with the braver
Republicans in this matter, is indicated
by the vote for members of the Legisla-
ture, since Republicans favoring reten-
ton of the prohibitory laws have been
defeated in many instances. The sin
gular and unexp1ainable thing about
prohibitionists everywhere in the Unit
ed States is, that while they have never
had the support of the Democracy, but
have invariably found that party in op
position to them, when it comes to elec-
tions they visit their wrath upon the
Republican party, the only one that has
ever given them countenance and aid

FEARS FOR THE PEACE COMMITS
SION

SION.
Among the French press and French
statesmen, the impression appears TO
prevail that the Peace Commission will
not be able to agree upon terms; that
the American instructions Will prove
unyielding, and that the Spanish In
structions give no latitude to the rep
1esentatives Of that State, so that con-
cessions will be few and immaterial,
and the whole subject will have to be
relegated to the realm of diplomacy,
exercised through the Foreign and
State Departments Of the two nations.
We confess that unless Spain is pre-
pared to accept the terms out of hand
which the United States Commission
ers will advance. the likelihood Of any
peace treaty being agreed upon by the
commission is very remote.
If, then, there is failure at Paris,
what next? Correspondence between
the two nations willlook to the appoint

will have to be erected to conclude the
treaty terms, and then ratification must
follow before the matter will be ended
Thus negotiation may drag along un-

end of the Congressional session, if the

Evacuation will go on and possession Of

without harm to it's interests until a

In the Philippines we will be handi-
capped The status quo win have to
be maintained, and it can be done only
with difficulty, in view Of the attitude
of the insurgent leaders. Manila and
it's environs and Manila Bay we will,
as now, dominate absolutely. Beyond
that our possession is weak, save pos
sibly at Iloilo. We will have to throw
more troops into the Orient, relieve the
sailors we now have there and send in
fresh men. We will be compelled to
state of strained and constant watch
fulness to render the movements or
the insurgents harmless, while over the
Spanish we must maintain likewise ex-
ceeding sharp watch, since their
treacherous character warrants no re-
pose of confidence in them. They will
trick US when the opportunity presents.
Spain herself may in the meantime
endeavor to transfer her title to some

H. S. Cornish: A man should train

habit of turning the cycle upside

dents have happened in this way,

LIFE ON A WARSHIP.
A Time When Hunting Spaniards Seem

In a letter recently received at New
Brunswick, n. j., dated May 28, at sea
off Key West, Warren Hardenber8h,
quartermaster's mate on the United
States scout steamer Scorpion Of the
flying squadron, gives some idea of life
on a warship. After describing a cruise
Of his vessel he writes:
1T is peculiar how circumstances al

emy's country on a wooden ship doing
scout duty is tough. If captured, your
Jig is up-no mercy for scouts. You

haven't lost any Spaniards and have 10
