the United States should maintain a pro-

that they must be treated properly and be

the commandant at Olongato, he said that
all vessels trading there must get permis-

to say whether this applied to all ports un-

people are poor they are all capable of con-

Cptain Wndes, of the Boston, in his re-
port, states that his cruise was made in
company with the transport Manila to the
southwark. The native villages all hoisted
white flags on his approach While passing
Bulak and Tikao he saw two vessels having
the appearance of two Spanish gunboats end
on and smoke rising from the funnel of one
of them. In a half an hour they were out

troops had been withdrawn to the town of
Cebu fifteen days before; that a large band
of insurgents were in the vicinity burning

officer was sent to return the boarding call

one gunboat Of 250 tons. The inhabitants Of

effects will follow.

OTIs,s HEALTH REPORT.
Only One Death i'm Over n Week
Among 10000 Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The following
has been received at the War Department
from General Otis, at Manila:
Following deaths since last report: Nov
IA, j. A. Smith, private Company G, First
South Dakota, apoplexy following malarial
fever"
The War Department officials say that the
report, showing such a small death rate
among so many soldiers, is extremely graf
flying, and indicates an improved condition
at Manila. That only one death should oc-
cur in 10000 troops in a week or ten days
is very surprising. The department believes
there has been a great improvement in the
health conditions in the Philippines.

I MEssns. Fay and Bushnell, pop
ulists, held forth in the auditorium
last night, ostensibly to discuss the
tissues of the day" from the pop
standpoint. Mr.. Bushnell, the
first speaker, gave most of his time
to an arraignment of the admins
tration for its conduct of the war
with Spain. Mr.. Fay, who followed,
saw how fatty Bushnell's remarks
had fallen, dismissed the late war
with a few remarks, saying that
Dude Lewis would give his time, If
sent back to the national capital to
trying to smell out some rotten
ness" in the war management, and
then he went back 35 years for an
issue, and devoted much time try
ing to show that the republican ad-
ministration was corrupt during the
civil war. His remarks fell as
fatty as had those of the previous
speaker, when he decided to return
to earth again, and he made a vain
attempt at whipping the voters,
whose eyes had been opened, back
into line again. He stated his
position on the money question as
for paper money, and against either
gold or silver, the silver question
being merely a standard about
which the forces could rally, and
hold voters enough to carry an cleo
ton. He failed to take up that most
interesting issue, the single tax, of
which he was one Of the main advo-
Gates. as be realized, as he stated
privately afterward, that it wouldn't
do to stir up the single tax matter in
farming community, as the popu
list doctrine of single tax throws the
whole burden Of taxation upon the
land owner.

A Dangerous Experiment.

There will be submitted to the
voters of this state at the November
elections a proposed amendment to
the constitution providing for local
option in taxation, Section 2, Ar
ticle 7, would contain the following
provision if this amendment were
allowed to carry:
That it shall be optional with
each municipal corporation in the
state to fix and determine by ma
jority vote of the Qualified electors
voting thereon the class or classes
of property npon which taxes for
municipal purposes shall be levied,
which tax shall be uniform as to
persons and class"
OF all vicious and foolish legisla
ton attempted in this state-and
it cannot be denied that Washing
ton in common with other states,
has suffered great hardships from
unWise law maklng-this proposed
constitutional amendment is per-
haps the most pronounced instance
of lack of good judgment that has
come to the attention Of the people.
Prepared by and pushed through
the last Legislature by advocates of
the single tax theory, it goes be
yond single tax, and proposes to
open the way to a system of tax
alton that is not only without sys-
tenn, but so dangerous that no well
balanced man ought to be in favor
of its becoming part of the con-
stitution of the state. The state OF
Washington is not prepared to
adopt the single tax, and the fran
ers of this amendment realized the
fact, but better that, than any
proposition which aims at the dis,
organization of the entire system o.
levylng taxation. A municlpa1
corporation, in the eyes of the state
supreme court, laid down in a we'll.
defined decision, comprises any
town, city, county or school district

Those who know John F. Corner
best speak of the gentleman in the
highest terms Of praise. He is a
self-made man, who has every rea-
son to be proud of his efforts and
success. Mr.. Corner is native of
Audrain county, Missouri, where
he lived on his fathers farm, and
in the little city Of Mexico, Mo, un-
til 1892, when he came TO Endicott
and engaged in teaching. In 1894
he was in the employ of the Enid
colt Mercantile Co, as book keeper,
later being principal of the Endi-
aott and Elberton schools. In 1897
he engaged in business in Elberton,
and was successful, but recently
disposed of his business interests
there. Mr. Corner is the republic
can nominee for county auditor
His election and administration Of
the office would reflect credit upon
the people of the county. An eX-
pert accountant, his conduct of the
auditors office would be correct,
economical and efficient.

each of our 36counties, 1000 school
districts, and hundreds of cities and
towns having a system OF eXemp'
tions of its own, some laying the
municipal tax on realty alone, some
on lands. others on corporations, on
the mercantile or manufacturing
community, the railways, the llq-
uor traffic, taxing one class OF
church property and exempting
another, or under any system that
might suggest itself to the expert
mentalist o. the demagogue?
Under such a condition, it is no
speculation to assert that invest
ment would be discouraged, that
few men would put their money
into purchasing developing prop
erty which a majority of thslr
neighbors might at any biennial
election designate as the class for
supporting the entire burden of
local government. TO own prop
erty in various portions Of the state
would be to suffer from endless con-
fusion in the matter Of taxation,
and instability and constant change
would be not only possible, but
probable.
These are considerations aside
from the individual injustices
which would be more than likely to
follow the adoption OF local option.
1t may easily be seen how the law
could be WORKED that the majority
could combine to place taxation up
on the minority, representing any
class of property, hos the business
interests of any municipality might
be compelled to pay the entire tax,
and ofanother escape entirely. How
new railway might secure ex-
emption from taxation from some
community as bonus for construc
ton, or how an established system
might pay the whole, or how any
of the multiplied combinations
might be made to impose unjust
burdens, aside from the element of
confu sion that would be certain.
The only danger Of the passage
of this amendment is from a lack
of interest and information, and
business men irrespective Of party
should inform themselves as to its
iniquities and use their influence
to prevent its adoption,-West
Coast Trade.

spreading until a hot tongue of fire touch

to discover her clothing all ablaZe.
Her screams rang through the building,
and other sisters found her rushing about

the fire.
Some of the sisters caught up the bed
clothes. quickly wrapped them about Sis

fire
Others, at the cost Of burned hands,
extinguished the flames. which had spread
to other articles Of clothing in the room
and threatened the destruction of the

THE THIRD ENGINEERS
TIRED OF SOLDIER LIFE
ANXIOUS TO BE MUSTERED OUT
Expected to Fight and Not Dig
Ditchcs-CompUsed of Skilled
Mechanics.

a letter has been received from a mem
ber of the Third United States Volun-
teers stating that the men are anxious
to be mustered out The writer is a Wash
ingtonian, and says there are about 80
District men IN the regiment.
"Of all the volunteer soldiers he says,
who want to get out of the service now
that hosdlites have practically ceased
and there seems to he no hope of being
able To do their country any good per
haps the Third Engineers are the most
anxious.
This regiment is composed almost en-
tireIy of skilled mechanics from all over
the South and Southwest from territory
extending from Maryland TO New MeXt-
co. and there is hardly one OF them who
would not earn as much in a week at his
trade as he earns in month i'll the
army.
The regiment = generally conceded to
be one of the best in the service. as it is
composed of the kind Of material from
which good soldiers are made. The men
in ii are sober. industrious and have 4
soldierly bearing, but they are tired of
digging bitches grading streets. etc.
LAS long as there was a probability Of
fighting for our country we were sat SIZED
we proved this by leaving our tradzs
at which we made from 81 to s. per day,
to go into the service at $50 per month,
and il is not until now that We are com
planning. Why should We dig bitches
for Uncle Sam at $40 per month when we
can easily make 80 and 800 at our
trades. work which is certainly more
congenial?
Another thing about our regiment
that is different from all others, is that
| it is an orphan. 1t does not belong any
where and is composed of orfy few
| men from any one State: consequently
we have no Senators or Congressman to
intercede in our behalf. For this reason
| wish the newspapers. the only medium
through which we can reach the cars Of
the War Department, would express cur
