 The Fastener looked stupidly about him for a moment and then without tak- ing his seat at the table returned the chip and said, "I guess will cash in now.'

THE CRIME AGAINST OAKLAND.

C ULLENLY and stolidly, but with as much
 shameless effrontery as ever, the Solid Six of - the Oakland Council have carried out their scheme of spoiaton against the people i'll the inter of the companies. They have enacted their ordinance fixing the rate and the only recourse c!t the citizens is the validity of the act b. appeal to the courts soon an attempt is made to collect water charges under it.
 The people of Oakland should lay the lesson of this experience to their hearts and resolve profit by it. Even if the grant relief the victory will have been won in a tedious and costly way. Moreover, If the exorbitant rates allowed the companies be aside, the chances the influences which procured the enactment of such may with more cunning bring about ordinance the subject which will virtually give the companies all they de- sire and yet be drawn and enacted stand all legal tests and be upheld by the Judges.
 The one lesson to be prohtably drawn from the ex- perience with this job is the importance a com nunity to elect to office men who can be relied upon to keep their pledges, be faithful their trusts and guard the interests of the community against the petition of such jobs as this which has just been per petrated.
 T. Oakland can keep the memory of the outrageous scenes in her Council chamber during the last few weeks fresh in mind until the next election comes and act in accordance with the lessons they teach her citizens will have occasion to regret the perpetra- ton of the job even ii the courts uphold it. It is worth paying high price for water the water be made to have effect in purifying politics.

PROHIBITION PEFFER

PETER, the nominee of the Prohibition
party. is carrying his views to extremes
we fear. From a magazine article just
from his pen, we conclude that he
would prohibit funerals. At least he is
against burying congressman at the ex-
pense of the government PETER de-
lights to deal with the dead, whether
the defunct be an issue OF an indiVi-
dual He revels with ghoulish glee in
everything stale and musty. So he nat
urally takes to the funeral question.
He has found that 10 United States
senators died while in office; that the
first one was William Grayson of Vir-
ginia, whose death occurred in 1890. and
that the custom Of burying United, states
obtain until the death Of John Gaylord
Of South Carolina, in 1926. He shows
that two other senator's died that year
Nicholas Van Dyke of Delaware and
Joseph McIlvain Of New Jersey. These
were the first three senators buried at
the public expense, the average cost be-
ing $292.47 The ex-senator then pro-
ceeds to show that from 1926 on the ten
dency was constantly toward more ex-
pensive funerals. Between 1926 and 1S47
twenty-seven senators died, eleven Of
whom were buried by the federal gov
eminent, the average cost of the fu-
nerals being S618.18. From 1913 to 1868.
inclusive, twenty-eight senators died,
eighteen of whom had public funerals
at a cost of $1,365.13 Of the thirty
deaths that occurred between 1869 and
1894 in the senate, twenty-five were IN
TERED at an average cost of S',754, ag-
gregating s6S,S49.96 for funerals in the
senate alone in the period of twenty
FIVE years.
Mr.. PETER has found that up to 1894
the United States government has paid
out on account of senatorial funerals
500, 2341S, the expenses ranging all the
way from $3.50, the minimum price, to
S21, 332. so, the maximum. 1t is an ex-
travagance worse than anything the
Egyptians were ever guilty of. 1t is
useless extravaganza in that it in no
way benefits the living and can in no
way help the dead.

WHY NOT HABANA!

Havana is the largest. wealthiest and
best fortified city owned by Spain, out
side of the Peninsula 1t IS the capital
of her greatest province. 1t is beau
tiful city, Boosting public buildings old
er than any on the continent Of Amer
lea 1t is thoroughly Spanish, a ma
jority of its Inhabitants being Of the
Castilian race OF some degree. 1t Is
more closely connected with the official
and commercial life of Spain than any
other provincial city. and, 80 long as
it stands, the Spaniard will not despair.
The effect of the fall Of Havana would
prove as great in Madrid as the fall OF
one Of her home cities. These propo-
sitiors being true, the speediest way to
end the war with satisfactory terms Of
peace would be in the reduction and,
If necessary, the total destruction of
that city. There exists, undeniably, a
sentimental protest against its destruc-
ton. and another based on its money
value. These considerations should not
weigh as against the loss Of life in bat
tie and death from disease Of our
American soldier boys, the physical
flower Of the land. A greater, a more
healthful and sanitary cleaner city
would, magic like, spring from its
ashes; {. modern city in every particu-
lar, in which aspect its destruction
would be a gain. But these material
considerations aside, Spain will hardly
surrender or agree to the hard terms OF
peace which viii be demanded Of her so
long as Havana holds the United States
army and navy at bay. There she
stands, facing our front, defiant and
confident, and so long as she thus
stands Spain will not concede that she
has been mastered. BY maintaining a
more strict blockade and by throwing
in a force Of American soldiers back of
her, supplies might be entirely cut off.
and surrender from starvation en-
forced. Still such a conquest would
lack convincing effect.
The thing to do is to take Havana.
That the $4,000 soldiers now being
transported to Porto Rico, together
with Skaters army, all backed by
SIMPSONS fleet, could. in the briefest
time, reduce and capture the city and
all it's Notifications. there is not the
least question.

THOSE BRAVE BOYS.

Those were pathetic and exciting
stories told by Lieutenant Winthrop
and Private Ralle to the Eagles re-
porter yesterday morning. Returning
Rough Riders, wounded and worn out,
stopping for a day or two's rest in
Wichita before proceeding to their
home in Guthrie. There were not only
Spanish bullets and intense heat, and
impenetrable chapparal to confront,
but the fear Of that more insidious foe.
the yellow fever. Nobody can read all
these personal accounts and graphic
dispatches without feeling deep SYM
pathy for the American soldiers who
composed that expedition. which was
landed in a raging surf against a pre-
pushed through swamps and over IN
traversed mountains to become targets
of a foe playing the bushwhacker in
perfect concealment. The weather was
pleasant only for the first few days,
when tropical rains commenced to fall,
and which have not ceased up to this
time. The men in the rifle pits, drenched
to the skin, wallowed in mud, with even
no dry place to sleep. Such conditions
must be bad enough for men who are
used to them, but when it is remem-
bered that most of the troops have
never been hardened to campaign life.
it is easy to understand that the suf-
ferings Of the men must be intense
When to the discomforts of camp life
are added the danger in the form of
disease which threatens the troops. it
becomes clear that things could not
very well be worse than they are.
Every man who has seen service in
front Of Santiago whether wounded or
not, is entitled to rank as a hero. and
We feel sure that all the brave boys
composing Skaters army will be hon
ored when they return to this country.
They have surely learned what war is
in its worst form. and they have dis
played a degree Of courage under fire
and in the face of great difficulties
which could not have been excelled by
the troops of any army on the face OF
the earth

The happiest and most significant
thing that has happened in the Bay Of
Manila since Dewey's victory, the thing
which will spread a broad smile over
America 1900 by 1000 miles in size, is
the receipt Of what the English captain
said TO the German rear admiral. Dewey
had sent a shell acros sthe bows of the
German cruiser Irene. Deidrich foamed
in regular Hohenzollern fashion. and
flying to the English captain demanded
to know what the English cruisers
would do in the event of Dewey bonn
harding the city Of Manila. Captain
Chichester sentenuously replied: My
self and Admiral Dewey only know
that" In other words, if it becomes
necessary for Dewey TO lombard Ma
Mia. ana the German admiral should
interfere. as he has been threatening
he viii find the American guns turned
upon his fleet. backed by England, or
otherwise he will be notified in advance
that he must lay low and keep out Of
harms way. Dewey grows greater and
grander every day. The dispatches
from him, via Hong Kong. read Ike
