The Object Lesson from the Philippines.

The Object Lesson from the Philippines.
The despatch received on Friday by the
Navy Department from Admiral DEWEY
forms a striking comment on Spain's efforts
to show that, although Luzon is lost to her,
she still holds the central Philippines:
Charleston and Concord arrived to-day from
noilo. GLASS reports that the entire island OF Panay
81 In possession Of insurgents. except noilo. which
II defended by 800 Spanish troops. All foreign
citizens there beg for American protection. The
island OF NeEros has declared Independence and de-
Bires American protectorato."
noilo, though small compared with Ma
Mia, stands secon in commercial impor-
lance in the Philippines, by reason Of its
large export trade in hemp, sugar, tobacco,
and other products, and its safe harbor.
Some weeks ago Gen. RIOS, after reporting
various victories over the insurgents in the
central Philippines, informed the Madrid
Government, according to the dispatches,
that in his opinion the revolt there was
about over. The remembrance Of WEY-
LERIs bulletins from Cuba suggested how
much reliance was to be put Upon this
story, which was possibly intended for eff
feet On the Peace Commission at Paris.
Admiral DEWEY conducted his own indie
pendent Investigations into the matter, and
now we lave the result.
SPANS pretended sovereignty In the
Visayas is little better than anarchy. The
farce Of respecting 1t ought not to be con-
tinued a day longer. For the sake both
of our own interests in the Philippines and
of the interests Of all foreign residents who
ask us for the protection which we are
bound to render and they have a right to
expect. we must end the present perils to
life and property there.
The patience with which our Commits
sioners to Paris have submitted to Spain's
delays has at least had one good effect.
While the negotiations have been going on
the course Of events In the Philippines has
demonstrated to all the world the utter i'm
possibility Of restoring her wrecked rule,
and has shown that the short and sure road
to peace and safety is through our imme-
date assumption Of full control there.

why the Kaiser Would Not Go to Spain

For more than one reason Americans re-
ceived with satisfaction the announcement
that Emperor WILLIAM decided to go from
Malta to some Adriatio port, and thence
return by land to Germany. There would
be. therefore. no occasion for his stopping
in q harbor Of the Iberian peninsula, and
thus giving ~Spaniards a pretext for i'm
putting to hin a wish to exert diplomatic
pressure on their behalf.
Now that the original plan Of proceeding
to Germany by sea and Of touching on the
way at two or more. Spanish ports has been
given up. we may as well say frankly that
the execution Of 1t could scarcely have been
regarded as an act Of friendship for the
United States. Technically, this countryi Is
still at war with Spain. and that which Is
technically true to-day might become an
actual verify tomorrow through the def
mite rejection blythe Spanish Commissioners
Of our proposal with relation to the Philip
pines. At such q conjuncture 1t behooves q
neutral power to avoid even the semblance
Of prediction for either Of the oombatants.
A visit paid ct such a time by q sovereign
to, one Of the belligerent countries would
be departure from the attitude prescribed
by strict lmpartiality, and 1t could not be
viewed with Indifference by the other bellig-
erent II, indeed. a visit Of the kind were
recognized as indispensable for the purpose
Of ooaling and repair. the incident would
be deprived Of most of lts Significance,
No such necessity. however, would exist In
the case OF the voyage FIRST contemplated
by the Kaiser. His vessel could lave OBJ
tanned coal or other needed supplies as con-
veniently In Gibraltar and Lisbon, which
are neutral ports, AZ 1t could In Cartagena
and Cadiz. which belong to a nation with
which we are at war.
II, under such circumstances, the German
Emperor had deliberately chosen to enter
Spanish harbors. the Madrid Government
would have been Justified In believing
and declaring that his sympathies were
strongly enlisted on Its side. This has
been made clear to the Emperor WILLIAM
by the premature jubilations In which the
Spanish press INDUCED at the prospect Of
his visit and he. consequently, determined
TO 20 home by a different route. Nor Ia
there any ground for supposing that he
would have projected a voyage through the
Straits OF Gibraltar, and an incidental stop
In n or more Spanish harbors, had he not
taken for granted. when he left Berlin, that
the task OF the Paris Peace Commission
would nave been completed before his tour
In the Holy Land had ended.
In spite Of SOM rather offensive acts on
the part OF the German Admiral at Manila
before the arrival Of naval reinforcements
and the occupation OF the city by our SOL
diars, there has never been a time since
the war began when our State Depart
ment has failed " receive assurances Of

Let us see now whether GEORGE DEwEY's
genius for raising Spanish warships is equal to
his genius for sinking them. Such is the repu-
tation OF this remarkable man with his fellow
citizens that in the belief Of most people the

Juan de Austria are as good as floated already.

President Mckinley had 271 electoral votes
and Mr., Bryan l76 votes two years ago. This
year the Republicans gained States in the West
casting twenty-five electoral votes and lost
Kentucky in the South casting twelve electoral
votes, a net gain OF ten, Two years hence two
or three OF the Western States now in the
Democratic Populist column will doubtless be
found in the Republican column.
So the dream OF a political union between the
South ana the West will have To be dismissed,
for the present at least, as the tigment OF a dis

Well, he changed his mind abou Hawaii,

From the Philadelphia Press.
The recent elections show that only a few of
the Western States voted with the South and
that only Colorado, Utah and Montana can be
depended upon in the future. The other States
in that neighborhood, like Nebraska. Idaho
and Nevada. were carried by such small ma
j~orities by the Popullsts that the hope of hold
ing on to them two years hence will be slim.
Had the country elected a President the other
day. the electoral vote according to the re-
turns would have stood as arranged in the fol-

The Red Cross Will Entertain.

The Emergency Corps, which was in
strumental in sending bandages, comfort
bags and towels to our troops this sum-
mer, has become branch of the state
Red Cross society, and as such will con-
tinue to work for and aid the soldier BOYS
as much as possible. In order to raise
funds for this purpose the members of
this society will hold a military bazaar
and supper Dec. 2, at o'clock in the
opera house. This timely and novel
affair will have several departments, each
one headed by captain, who will be as
sisted by one or more lieutenants and
several aides. There will be mess tent
with Mrs. Flint as captain. In this the
commissary rations of baked beans, hard
tack and coffee can be had for ten cents.
There will be two buffers tents, one for
oysters, ham and chicken with Mrs.
Frank as captain, and one for pies and
cakes with Mrs. Nichols for captain,
which will furnish more elaborate delica-
cies. There will be gypsy tent under
Mrs. Fechter's charge; popcorn, nuts
and candy tent under Mrs. Moran's care.
The U. s. mail will be represented with
Mrs. Barge as p0stmistress; also an ex-
press Office, where many pretty articles
will lie sent through the express and
which can be had by paying ten cents.
This will be under Mrs. Frank Bartholet's
care. One OF the chief features of the

Some alarm having been expressed by
pupils and teachers of Columbia school
that the building was unsafe, an inquiry
was set on foot bv the school board with
the following reassuring results:

Schools, North Yakima.
Gentlemen: Pursuant to your instruc-
tions, Mr.. A. F. Switzer and | have ex-
amined the Columbia school building to
determine az to its safety. At the time
OF our visit strong gale was blowing,
but no sign of vibration could be OBJ
served. The structure appears to be
quite stable, and we regard it as safe.
We found that the tin on the roof had
been torn loose by the wind and needed
repairs at once to prevent further dam
age. We respectfully recommend that a
moderate sum be expended for general
maintenance and repairs, under good su-
pervision. Some extra cross ties and
braces could be added to the roof with
advantage, and would give added secur-
ity. The brick window slls should be
coated with cement as protection
against the weather. etc., and roof cover

VIII There Be q Contest7

The attorney general has given an opinion
against admitting the votes of residents and
employees on the Yakima Indian reservation
who cast their ballots at the precincts nearest
the reservation.
The above excerpt from the Seattle
Times partially explains itself. County
ATTORNEY Snyder wrote to the attorney
general asking his opinion as to the le-
gality of the residents and employees on
the reservation voting at Zillah precinct.
The Constitution, article 6, section 4,
provides that "for the purpose of voting
and eligibility to Office no person shall
be deemed to have gained residence by
reason of his presence or lost it by reason
OF his absence while in the civil or mill
tary service of the state or United States"
1t is believed that thers were probably
ten votes among the employees of the res
ervation, which would be thrown out by
contest under the above provision, to say
nothing OF the other residents on the res
ervation. II these ten or eleven employees
on the reservation voted for Allen against
Coe. or even seven of them, it would re-
suit in the reelection of the county clerk,
Mr.. Coe. The committee is looking the
matter up and the result OF their delibera-
ton will determine the ACCESSIBILITY of q
contest.

haps used their best judgment in Sc
Letting the place for the deer pen, but
the general public would perhaps been
better pleased with the locating of the
thing somewhere else. The long slope
toward the east. that forms the en-
trance to the Glen, was one of the
most attractive features of the place,
for those who love landscape, and that
approach is entirely spoiled by the
establishment of the high and unsigntly
palsade right at the bottom of the
slope and extending almost half way to
the top. 1t will perhaps be the max
ing of the deer. but it will be hard on
the landscape.
