Since the departure OF County Com
missioner Anstie for the Alaskan gold
fields the matter OF his successor in office
has been largely discussed, not only by
the general public, but by several would
be successors. SO far, four Richmond's
are in the field, viz, j. Z. Carson, mana
ger OF the Montesano creamery and one
of the receivers OF the Aberdeen bank, |.

and eX-Sheid J. \. Graham. Of t,cr-
deem. Mr.. Anstie has not Vet resigned.
and when starting north informed the
HERALD that-he did not know whether
he would venture into the interior OF not .
that in case he did his resignation would
be son. in at once His resignation has
not been received up to date and. as the
board does not meet again until the first
Monday in July, there will be ample time
to discover Mr.. Anstc's resignation and
his successor. The law provides, that
vacancies occurring in.the board OF county
commissioners shall.be-flled by the two
remaining members Of the board and the
Judge OF the superior court. The HERALD
has sufficient confidence in the ability
and integrity OF those officials to justify
the belief that the'interests of the county
will be the main consideration in making
the selection.

CONGRESSMAN JONES' SPEECH.

Another instance of the utter disregard
for truth Ivy our Wiisonized contempor
AIRY, the Aberdeen Bulletin, is the follow
ing extract regarding Congressman Jones
recent ,peec, in congress-
''Coneressmun W. G. Jones has
achieved his most ardent desire. lie has
had a big speech, supposed to have been
spoken in the Legislative temple, printed,
with his beloved chart included. The
word wheat, in comparison with silver
has been abolished. and the more general
term of breadstuT is used. A diagram
representing the rise and fall OF 100 COM
mo1ites has been added. There, how
ever is no relationship in the eye OF the
unntiated between that of silver and
either OF the other diagrams. Taking sill
yer as the normal, were a doctor to have
such discrepancies in the thermal chart
OF a fever patien he would certainly say
the patient was moribund. In this case,
however, the normal diagram is wrong,
and the others more nearly normal"
Had the writer OF this squib been de-
sirous OF telling the truth he could have
by simply looking at the printed speech
found that it was delivered in the house
OF representatives, and that no change
had been made in the chart used by Mr..
Jones during the campaign other than to
extend it down to date. The word
"wheat' never appeared upon the orgi-
nal chart, but instead the word bread
stuifs,' just as it now appears IN the
congressional record. But then the Bull
letin never lets little lie like .ha. stand
in the way, especially if the ascertaining
OF the correctness of the statement re-
quires any exertion.
In this connection we desire to note
that Congressman Jones by this speech
has become one Of the strong leaders OF
the silver forces in the nation and the
speech itself has been made campaign
document by the national committee for
the fall elections. The first edition Of
6000 copies was quickly exhausted, only
a few hundred being secured for distribu
ton in this state Senator Jones Of Ne

\ difference OF opinion politically Is no
excuse for a paper at this time trying to
cause dissenson The demo-pop Aber-
deem Herald heads its leading editorial
this week "The war a result OF the ad-
ministration' criminal negligence" y
paper that vents such sentiments as these
at this time bears the ear Harks OF an
archy on it and insults every patriotic
American bulletin.
When the Guletin cannot answer an
argument it either resorts To misiepIe-
scntation or crys "anarchist,' or both.
While the HERALD has all along urged all
Americans to stand by their country in
its time of peril, the Bulletin has been
silent. and the article to which the above
clipping refers began by urging united
front to the enemy. The HERALD has no
desire to create dissension. but it does
propose to place the responsibility for
this unnecessary war exactly where 1t
belongs, even though it reflects upon the
administration. The charge we made re-
garding this responsibility is true, and
the Bulletin knows it, but don't like to
have it told so the people may know it
also.

The Tacoma Ledger affects the belief
that Fitzhugh Lee is superseding Mr..
Bryan in The eyes OF the Democratic party,
and predicts that by 1900 he will be the
party leader. General Lee is man
whom all Democrats admire for his cour-
age and ability, but he is not with the
party on the main issue of the day.
Should Mr.. Lee, however, be made the
standard bearer OF the party in 1900, this
same Ledger would, undoubtedly, be
among the first to yell "rebel'' at him.

The decision Of the administration not
to engage in pnvateering during the war
with spain was master-stroke; it not
only met the approval Of all commercial
nations but has compelled Spain to an
nounce similar policy, for the present
at least, and which the European nations
will probably compel her to make a
permanent one.

Deep Mining

Hon. w. f. Deal said to a Chronicle
representative during his recent visit in
Virginia that the project of resuming
deep mining on the Comstock is receiv-
ing favorable consideration among
shareholders and capitalists in San
Francisco, and he is confident that the
draining of the flooded levcls will begin
in a short time with the Riedler pump
system.
The system. as outlined in the ChrOn-
icle, on the statement of Supci .ntendeut
w. e. Sharon, involves the establishment
of no expensive plants and the actual
cost of drainage and plants included will
not exceed S250,0OO. AS there will be
about twenty-five mines benefited by
by the drainage project a single assess
ment of ten cents per share would be
sufficient to effect its consumption.

An Incident Of Battle.

"A number of the men who We're in the
battle of Manila have arrived in San
Francisco and are telling of the striking
incidents of the great fight. Col. Loud
told a Bulletin reporter the following:
The gunner on the Olympia, who fired
the shot which raked the Reina Christina
throughout her length was made wild
with JOY by the accuracy Of the great
gun.
H threw his cap up and danced about
with glee. The he jumped upon the gun
and threw his arms about his head cheer
ing Justify. He Rugged and kissed the
huge weapon, and had finally to be called
down to earth from the heights of his JOY
by the commander, who said. What are
you doing there? Have you gone crazy?
Get back to your work. Jack tar re-
stunned operations, saying, Another one
like that will send them all to kingdom
~cOlne.'"
The firing generally by the American
fleet was magnificent. The first round
at !the forts went wild, but the second
volley told and completely silcnced the
forts. The Spanish fire from the heavy
guns was very Ddt1. w ltn me lISuI guns
they were more accurate, and repeatedly
struck the American ships.
The shot which struck the Baltimore
pierced the armor, grad one of the boil
ers and injured five men. 1t did not in
~terfere in any way with the fighting. as
the men continued to work the guns as if
nothing had happened.
After the batteries on shore had been
silenced the American fleet went after
the Spanish ships. They took one at q
time, and destroyed them one after
another. The Americans clearly outdid
the Spaniards in fighting qualities and
Won easily because of that fact
Colonel Loud had been ordered to pay
off the men of the McCullOch and pro
coed to Washington. but he, nevertheless
went to Manila and was in the fight.
All of the men who nave come back
from Manila are full of JOY over the vic
tory, because they ascribe it to Ameri-
can valor and experiences and declare
that the Spaniards should have been able
10 mold their own. the fleets being quite
evenly matched, especially when assisted
! hV the shore guns.
