The grip Uncle Sam has on the
Philippines is something like the holt
Pat had on the billy goat. There is nj
convenient place to let go without
getting hurt.
Indications are quite strong that i,
will be w. II. Corbett for United
States senator or nobody. Corbett has
paid for the honor in hard cash, and
he will not be likely to consent to any
one else having it if he cannot be
elected himself.
The Statesman heads an article
"The Portland Hog" because the
writer claims the metropolis has in
jnred its wheat market. Salem ought
to enjoin Portland. The world ought
to wag at the will of the state-house
town or be stopped by legal process.
One measure of economy has been
instituted in the legislature "a resolu-
tion has been introduced allowing only
one clerk to each of the house commit
tees. 1t is to be hoped the resolution
will become the rule of the house and
senate too.
The democrats of New York have
nominated Mayor Van Wyck for gov
ernor, and he will be elected. His op-
ponent, Col. Roosevelt, has only his rec
ord in Cuba as a recommendation,
and this will not be sufficient to seat
him in the gubernational chair.
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, the we'll
known democratic statesman and for
mer am bassador to England, is dead.
He passed away on the 28th at Karls-
tein, Mass at the summer residence
of his daughter. Mr.. Bayard was in
deed great man, and one of the FORE
most politicians of the nation.
The opposition to Mr.. Corbett are
very poor tactics in their
effort to heat him. Their candidate,
Judge NJ. C. George, never made any
record in congress that would recon-
mend him as strong man for senator.
Had they championed Mr.. Hermann's
cause, they might have met with sue
cess, but with George they will likely
assist Corbett in his aspirations.
Gold bug Judge Hanna of Jackson
county has reduced the taxation of the
Southern Pacific railroad company
from an assessment of $4,000 per mile |
TO $4,5OO. Jackson county'was the only
Dne in the state where an earnest eff |
tort bad been made to assess the rail-
road company at something like the
ate made in California-but of course
. gold bug judge came to the aid of
he corporation. That is what they
ire for.
When a man isip Office he imagines

Dad commissioner. and thinks If the
commission were abolished. the rail-
oads of the state would go to wreck

In 20 years the republican vote
'ermont has fallen only twice to the
DIV figures of the recent election in
hat state. The republican vote in
laine at the election beld on the 18th
nst. was 43.440. This is the lowest
epublican vote the state has cast since
he civil war by 1872. The vote is
), 600 below the republican vote in the

way from the polls in both states for {
