The Fate of the Trimmer.

The sOrrowful life of Mayor Doran
should, draw tears from the very paw
ing blocks in the streets. Ward meet
ings of Republicans are being held
frequently in different parts of the
city, and it does not appear, thus far,
as if Mr.. Doran had any hold upon
his party at all. Even in the districts
where he was supposed to be strongest,
either resolutions indorsing other can
didates have been passed or, at best,
those present reserve their decisions.
SO marked has this become that the
mayor has found it necessary to take
the public into his confidence by whis-
pering to them the wonderful secret
that he would accept reelection If
he could get 1t.
In the meantime, he comes in for a
let of good round cursing whenever his
name is mentioned as a candidate for
further political honors. Like all OF
his class who forget principle and
fidelity to duty in the chase of ex-
pediency, he has displeased all the ele-
ments in the community except the
supporters and hangers-on Of his ap-
pointees. Those Republicans who be-
lieve in good government and in the
conduct of public affairs on business

Heredity or What?

There is a very general disposition to
shove off onto something or other re-
spOnsibility for the results of our own
actions. One favorte shift is luck. an
other is mysterious diSpenSation of
providence" and another is heredity
The last was the subject Of a paper
presented to the meeting of the Asso-
ciated Charities. 1t differs from the
attribution of conditions to luck and
to providential dispensations only in it's
semblance of a scientific attitude; at
base it is the same. 1t is only more
refined, elevated, intellectual way Of
accounting fer conditions 1t tries to
make answer to that twin problem
Whence, whose brother is Whittier.
When we know whence we came we
will know whittier we are going. Mean
time we guess. Heredity is one guess,
and poor one. Atavism is one phase
of 1t, the temperance of ancestors.
Heredity is always a fault bearer. 1t
is made to excuse delinquencies, in
morals. He is not to blame for being
a thief or a drunkard for his father or
grandfather was a thief Or drunkard
1t never accounts for what men esteem
good. No one was ever a great orator,
scientist, author, physician, minister,
inventor or mechanic, because his
father or grandfather was one.
ut is natural for us to expect that
when we SOW wheat we shall reap
wheat" predicates the paper read at
the meeting. This is an attempt to
reason from an analogy that is not
universal. For a single Illustration
showing it's happiness, if we plant an
apple seed we should just as naturally
expect to get tree that would bear
the same kind Of apples. But we never
do We get a tree that in leaf, bark,
form is an apple tree, but we get
very different kind of fruit; sometimes,
rarely, better one; sometimes one as
good. occasionally a worthless one So
with other plants. What kind of wheat
we get, what kind of apples we pick,
what kind of men and women we have
depends far less on ancestral condi-
lions than on the environrl ent during
the developing period. The paper on
heredity and pauperism struck the
truer note, truer of all phases Of the
subject. The mission of social organ
ization is to provide the suitable, favor
ing surrounding for the development

vironment that will foster the good

The Mission of McKittredge.

McI<ittredge, member of the Repub-
lican national committee for South Da
kota, has gone down to Washington to
get. first, the president to withdraw
the nomination of Mccoy as Indian
agent and, second, failing that, to Sc
cure his rejection by the senate 1t is
safe to assume that he will fail in the
first, and it is not uncertain that he
will succeed in the second. We read
the first conclusion from past eXper-
fence. When Goodnow was nominated
consul general at Shanghai the presi-
dent was asked to withdraw his name,
and the request was backed by the
fullest exposition of the unfitness,
mentally and morally, of the man. He
refused. Why? Because Hanna had
mortgaged the place to Goodnow in
payment of his services in depriving
Davis of the Minnesota delegation
Then the senate was attacked. We
have the assurance of Representative
Heatwole's paper that the president ac-
lively worked to secure Goodnow's
confirmation, and got it.
We infer the second possibility from
the recent rejection of the appointment
of the infamous Demas as collector of
the port Of New Orleans. Demas was
for Reed at first for the presidential
nomination. The nastiest fight of the
ante-convention campaign was waged
for the Louisiana delegation. Demas
was influential among the negroes of
New Orleans and that class dominated
the Republican element. He is a brute,
with a brute'S passions and instincts
and shamelessness in their play He
was corrupt clear through. But he
controlled votes. and Hanna bought
him with promise of the collectorship.
Mckinley redeemed the promise He
waited until the adjournment of the
special session and made an ad interim
appointment Protests that came thick
and fast from Louisiana Republicans
failed to prevent the president sending
the disreputable name to the senate at
the regular session. But there the fight
was more effective. Demas was re-
jected. Perhaps Kittredge may find a
sense of decency in the senate sufficient
to defeat the nomination of Mccoy. For
the sake Of common decency let us hope
he may

OF the uses Of ginseng among the Chinese
little is known in this country even among
the exporters who ship large quantities of the
American root to that country. 1t is regarded
as the panacea for most of the ills Of the
Chinese and Koreans. and has held this repu-
tation for centuries. 1t cannot, Mr.. Allen
contends, have attained and preserved this
reputation among these millions Of people
without possessing at least some Of the virtues
attributed to it. The Chinese regard 1t as
strong vigorant and it is used throughout
the country as tonic, and Is combined with
quinine as a remedy for malarial fevers.
Mr.. Allen says the climatic conditions of
Korea are about the same as those of the
northern portion Of our central states, and
the Korean ginseng, which the Chinese re-
gard superior to the native American arti-
Gle, could be raised here. Cultivated ginseng
requires seven years to mature. He thinks,
however, that the portions of the United
States where climatic conditions are favorable
could engage proftably in the cultivation of
the American root for the Chinese export
trade. All of the 400, 600, 900 of the Chinese
population use ginseng, and he believes that
when they become once satisfied with the re-
suits obtained from American ginseng the de-
mand will run up into millions Of dollars
wear.

principles have not forgiven and will
not forgive him for his reorganization
of public boards to compass political
ends.
1t will be a long time before they
overlook the removal Of Chief Jackson,
of the fire department, whose record is
without blemish, simply in order to
crafty Mayor Dorans private spite.
They are not unmindful of the narrow
escape of the water department of this
city from political reorganization
from the ground UP and the demorali-
cation Of it's service, in order that
craftsmanship might be made the rule
OF appointment down to it's lowest
place. 1t is for reasons like this, be-
cause Mr.. Doran has shown himself
ready to assist by all means in his
power. the establishment of the party
test instead of that of fitness, that thou
sands of self-respecting Republicans
are dead against him, and declare that,
under no circumstances, will they ever
vote for him if nominated.
On the opposite side stand num-
Der of men, equally bitter who are
swearing mad because Doran had not
the courage to carry out his plans and
theirs to the last detail. They note
his failure in the case of the water
board, and they are bitterly incensed at
the reelection by the school board
of it's secretary, Notwithstanding that
a majority of it's members are appoint
ees of the present mayor. They say
that an executive who cannot do better
than this in helping his friends to COB
BILE vacant places is no good.
So, between these differing factions,
whose contempt for him is equally
deep. although founded upon exactly
opposite grounds, poor Doran is having
hard time Of 1t. He Is just now be-
ginning to taste the bitterness of the
trimmer'S fate. Not for one second
since he took office has he placed any
thing superior to his own political am
bition. but he did not know enough to
advance even that. He has played fast
and loose, blown hot and cold, tried to
pose both as partisan and public spirit

pie understand, and they at least ad-

at another time, calls for the corpora

can take such action under precisely
similar circumstances; this miserable
figurehead. whose whole field Of vision
is occupied by a ludicrous vanity and
an over mastering hope to succeed him

CHARTER COMMISSION ENCOUN
TIERS A KNOTTY PROBLEM
How VIII the City Provide for the
Payment of Interest on Tax Levy
Certfhcates:-The Enabling Act
Embarrasses the Commission
Bement Makes Objections.

The charter commission ran against
a snag last night
1t was section of title 2 of chapter
which deals with the city's finances.
The section proved so troublesome that
the commission, unable to floor it, let
go Of it for the time being, or, to use
Chairman Horns more parliamentary
designation Of the commissions ac-
ton. reconsideration Of section is sus-
pended"
Section 4 of title 2. which treats of
1.-The public expenditures, provides, in
substance, that the interest payable on
all tax levy certificates issued for the
benefit of any city department shall
be paid out of the fund so raised.
Col. Clough, the chairman Of the COM
mittee on chapter 5, explained that the
limitations of the enabling act govern
ing the charter commission prohibited
the creation Of any additional indebt-
edness on the part Of the city. The
section was. therefore, inserted to pro-
tect the tax levy certificates.
A lengthy discussion ensued, in
which the fire department was selected
to illustrate the application Of the pro-
posed section
The sum of 100000 Is placed in the
tax estimate once year for the fire
tenn, tax levy certificates for 80 per
cent Of this amount are issued an
nually against the department. AS
the interest on the certificates would
amount approximately to $4,000 a
year, Mr.. Lightner suggested that the
city issue two certificates-one for 80
per cent Of 100000 and the other for
30 per cent Of ST., 000-the interest.
What legal objection was there to the
nf 70
fund?
Comptroller McCardy, who has now
become a regular patron Of the ses-
sions of the charter commission. adj
monished that body that II they mixed
up the interest fund with the depart
ment fund, there would be a. resultant
apathy among the purchasers of st.
Pauls tax levy certificates.
Judge Lusk sized up the situation
with the observation, that unless the
commission required the city to pledge
It's faith and credit to pay the principal
and interest Of every certificate the in
strument would lose it's value, if its
payment was made dependent upon
the ultimate collection of the taxes.
Col. Clough was Of the opinion that
the interest and principal of the tax
levy certificates should be payable out
of the same fund, in any event. To
provide otherwise would be an unbusi-
ness-like and unwise action 1t would
render the certificates Of dubious value
in the minds Of likely purchasers.
After a general expression of their
opinions from several of the lawyers
on the commission. Mr.. McNair moved
that, inasmuch as they seemed to differ,
action on the section be deferred The
motion prevailed.
Section 3, the first one taken up last
night, also occasioned debate, short as
it was. AS proposed, it reads as fol-

Log-HauIing Steam Engines.
From the Portland Oregonian.

FROM the Portland OreSOnlan.
From the number of steam engines being
shipped to logging camps in various parts of
the state, it Is evident that the day of the
bull team and bull puncher, wi his rich
vocabulary of profanity, In the logging camp,
is passed. Every day or two the big jumbo
truck is seen hauling one of these engines
to the docks for shipment. They are now
made altogether of steel, and some of them
are very heavy. The Bridal Veil LAUNDERING
company has a very large one, carrying two
miles Of steel rope.ss Weise Brothers, at Oak
Point. have put on one Of 100 horse power,
carrying mile Of steel, rope. One was
shipped to seasde,fa few days ago. and
big one was shipped, to Pc Ell. Wash. A very
large engine is ordered apd will be shipped
at once to a company at Coos bay. The way
these engines snakei logs out of the timber is
a caution to all cattle. Think of 1900 feet
of logs being snatched along up a hill so
steep that IL they broke: loose they would
slide back themselves! When the ground is
too soft for cattle to work, the wire cable
brings the logs out9o of the>woods a-skipping,
knocking the tops off the cradle piles, and
fairly grading the ground. Weidler & Ord

in this region, and have been using them
successfully for several Years.

Put in Il Push at Home.

From the Philadelphia Pa.) Record
Mr.. Richard OIney, ex-secretary Of state,
in an address at Harvard university on
Wednesday evening last expressed the
thought that the time had passed when we
should hold aloof from the councils Of the
nations, and that we should now join hands
with England for the advancement Of civil
lzation and the betterment of the human
race. A limited partnership Of this kind
might contribute to those ends; but there is
as much cause nowadays as there was in
the days CT Washington to fear that in the
end such an alliance would surely prove to
be entangling. Meanwhile it is not really
necessary to go beyond our own boundaries
in order to give c.vilizat.on a push.

Queens and Jacks of Clubs.

From The St. Louis MOI Republic.
Woman's great objection to a mans club
has always been that she didn't know what
terrible high jinks went on in those places
and that, whatever they were. they kept msn
away from the refining companionship of
woman. Mans objection to the latter-day
woman's club is that he too, doesn't know
what fearsome capers are cut in those places
and that, whatever they may be, they keep
ing influence of man. And so, each flom be-
hind its own ramparts, the two sexes fired
hot shot at one another's club installations.
