passing. True. the large house lately
moved threatened to much incommode
the companies. and. indeed, work them
irrepaFable injury, but the matter was
satisfactorily adjusted and as he, Mr..
Dillman, had confidence in the board
that it would do justice to the COM
panies he asked leave to withdraw the
ordinance, and the request was granted.
Well, who is M. J. Dillman, and when
did he gain title to the office Of run
ming the city? BY what authority can
he withdraw an ordinance once intro
duced, or rather why should he inter-
fere to request its withdrawal? It looks
as If Mr.. Dillman really thinks that
the city rests upon his broad shoulders.
True, the ordinance may have been in
troduced at his request. He may, for
the matter of that, have been its
author. But once introduced it became
the property of the people. The peo-
pie demanded of the Trustees, not of
Mr.. Dillman, that some regulative ordi-
nance on the subject should be passed.
Even Mr.. Dillman conceded before the
board that the people and the press
wished such an ordinance. But, then,
Mr.. Dillman decides that they do not
need such law, and the board bows to
Mr.. Dillman's imperial decision. Again
we ask, who is NJ. j. Dillman?

INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE.

No stronger or better testimony Of
increasing confidence and strength IN
the business condition Of the country,
or Of steadily expanding prosperity, can
he given than the statement of the fact
that there is now larger demand for
iron and steel than at any time before
in the history of the nation, not even
excepting the greatest Of the railroad
building years.
In 1897 the steel ingot production
was 5,475,3 ,315 tons, thus exceeding the
production Of 1896 by 1,555, 400 tons.
This is an increase in one year which
is greater than the entire production Of
steel ingots in any year prior to 1885
and greater than the four years from
1873 to 1876. This increase Of 1897
exceeds the total production of ingots
in Great Britain in 1895, which was
almost 80 per cent. of the total produc-
ton Of 1896
The pig iron production of 1897 in the
United States exceeded that Of 1896 by
nearly million tons Along both these
lines of production the increase is still
steady and great. The product of the
industry represented by steel and iron
is a very accurate index of the prosper
ity of manufacturing and construction,
and a host of other industries.

/ A NEW AUTOCRAT.

There was almost, If not entire uni
versatility in the demand upon the City
Trustees that the matter of moving
houses through the streets Of the city
should be regulated by ordinance and
not left to individual judgment and
haphazard methods. Accordingly, an
ordinance was introduced lately, and on
Monday evening it should have passed
the Board of Trustees.
But NJ. j. Dillman appeared before
the board and, assuming to speak for
the telephone and electric light compan-
les, said they did not care about an
ordinance regulating house moving

There is very amusing passage in
''Vorwaerts," organ of the socialists in
Argentina. It states that in our late
war it is true our ships escaped with
comparatively little injury, while Span
ish naval craft were riddled with shot
and shell, sunken and destroyed. But
note the explanation of this, according
to the socialistic organ. It was not
because of our superiority in gunnery,
not because of superior seamanshlp,
nor because of the ability of our naval
commanders, but because of advanced
character of the iron industry IN
America. 1t will not admit for a mo-
ment that American crews were su-
perior to Spanish, but victory was ours
because American iron is tougher.
Theraupon this prophetic owl proceeds
to forecast that if the South American
republics do not voluntarily transfer
their custom to the United States the
big Republic, respecting nothing put
brute force, will compel South Amer1-
cans by main force to become her
customers" What a pity we have such
a bad reputation among the Soutn
American socialists. the vaporings OF
whose official organ cause smiles TO
go round the entire American circle

In one respect 1t was opportune and
a good thing for the city that the En-
peror Of Germany paid Jerusalem a
visit. In preparation for it the Sultan
had the city cleaned up from stem to
stern, q process to which it has been
stranger for centuries. It was about
the filthiest of cities, with absolutely
no attention paid to sanitary demands.
For nearly 1900 years the Turks have
occupied and controlled Jerusalem, and
in ali that time it has not had a really
good cleaning. Twelve centuries Of
filth, debris and rank deposits, layer
after layer, practically, encased the
city. The most surprising thing about
it is that the Sultan had the courage to
disturb this mass of filth. There is. as
the "Oregonianf' well remarks. no news,
however, that the Sultan's power ex-
tended so far as to compel the inha BIZ
tants TO clean themselves. There are
vast quarters in that city where the
bath is unknown, and personal cleanli-
ness is so rare as to be phenomenal

One of the heaviest blows the out
come Of the war deals to Spain is the
cutting off of the trade of her manu-
factures with her late colonies, Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippines. 1t is
represented by competent authority
that it will bankrupt very large num-
ber Of the largest manufacturing en-
terprises in the kingdom, and seriously
restrict the operations of a still greater
number. In large degree what the
manufacturers and producers of Spain
lose in this way Americans will gain.
The effect Of this change will be seri-
ously experienced adversely in Spanish
commercial enterprises, which have al
ready felt the blow so heavily at Bar
celena, that was the chief export port
for the Philippines. that a state OF
business panic prevails in that city.

Portland Oregonian: If there is any
room for qualification of the type Of
laWleSSness that is represented by
lynching, it may be found in the fact
that a Missouri mob does not discrinl-
mate between the black and the white
fiend of the type that makes outrag-
eous assault upon innocence and help
leSsness, but hangs the latter with as
little compunction as the former.
Lynching is indefensible, Missourians,
but if you must lynch, let there be no
color line.

HARVEST CUSTOMS.

Healdsburg Tribune: The United
States is said to be about the only coun
try which has no established harvest
customs. In some parts celebrations are
held, but as a nation we have no ira
ditions such as they have abroad. A
notable exception to this statement Is
the harvest festival which is annually
celebrated in Sonoma County in ro-
mantle grove near our oldest town of
Sonoma There should be more Of these
celebrations, for if there are people on
Gods footstoo1 who have cause for
such festivals, they live beneath the
Star-Spangled Banner.

A LESSON SUGGESTED.

San Diego Union: The people of this
country could learn a very impressive
lesson from France just at this juno
ture. That republics relations with
England have reached delicate and
critical stage. Te escape war. and at
the same time to avoid humiliation,
called for the best craftsmanship of
France, supported by a united people.
But the Frenchmen have plunged into
a political turmoil over their home diff
ferences. The foreign issue has been
almost forgotten, and England Is ap-
parently an easy winner of a game of
diplomacy that would havD been a hard
ore had France been united at this
critical time.

HE Is RIGHT.

Humboldt Standards: General Shaf-
ter is right in saying that the attacks
made upon him are due to spite. III
the Santiago campaign he ran several
offensive yellow journalists out of
camp, all for good cause, and since
then their papers have abused him sys-
tematically. General Sherman. had a
similar experience during the civil war,
but came out of it with eclat which
ought to be encouraging to the present

Kern Echo: Mark the prediction:
When the peace negotiations between
the United States and Spain are ended
Europe will stand in open-eyed Won
der at American diplomacy. The "un-
trained fellows have already shown
themselves more than a match for the
smooth and much trained dons. The
best diplomacy is to succeed in your
undertaking and this the American
usually does with a vim.
