II was learned on good authority last evening
that Richard Croker and the Police Commissioners
considering plan 10 appoint James J. Martin
TO the Office OF Superintendent OF Elections which.
under the charter takes the place OF that OF Chief

understood that he was a candidate for appointment
to the Office OF Superintendent OF Elections
Mr. Martin was president OF the Police Board In
the last Tammany administration. and he was
allowed TO serve out his term before his successor
was appointed by Mayor Strong. He has been the
Tammany leader In the XVIII Assembly District
for several years and the chairman OF the ram
many Executive Committee. but Immediately after
the election II was known that Mr. Croker had de-
termined 10 turn Mr.. Martin down and prevent his
appointment TO OF the hrst-cass positions in the
new CITY government Lately there has been con-
siderabl ill-feeling among Mr.. Martins friends in
the XVIII District. and there nave been repeated
efforts made to secure for him some recognition
I, was determined to offer TO Mr.. Martin the
office OF Superintendent Of Elections with salary
OF 5000 for five years 10 satisfy his Tanmany
friends in the XXVth District and also to humili-
ate him II he accepted IA subordinate position In
Department OF which he formerly was the presi-

duplication of street names and numbers IN the

the territory acquired by conquest in
that war. There is no inconsistency
involved. The war was begun on the
grounds of humanity, IT, benefit suf-
fering people. That purpose has not
been lost sight of-and to accomplish
it many lives have been sacrificed and
millions Of dollars expended. The re-
tention of territory, which was not
dreamed of at the beginning, has be-
come factor from the logic of cir
cumstances, and such a policy would
detract nothing from the generous
spirit which invoked the war in behalf
OF others. We are entitled by the
laws of nations and of justice to retain
territory or secure such other indem-
nifty as we may decide is our just due.
The work of humanity, moreover,
would be furthered by taking Porto
Rico and the Philippines under our
protection and relieving their people
from the bigotry, robbery and oppres-
sion of Spanish rule Ledger.

This Years VIII eat Yield.

The estimates as to this years crop
OF wheat in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho range from 100000 to 49,
100000 bushels. The former figures
are those of the growers, and the latter
those of the buyers. These estimates
do not vary much from those made
about this time last year. From such
reports as were available this paper in
August of last year estimated the crop
of the three states at 30 100000 bush
els. Later we raised the estimate to
80 100000 bushels. Even the latter
estimate was not large enough. The
final estimate of the U. S. Department
OF Agriculture placed the total at
about 100000 bushels. Judging
from the amount of wheat which has
been exported from Portland and Ia
coma, the government estimates were
about correct. 1t is possible but not
probable that the crop this year will
turn out as large as that of last year.
In some counties in Washington the
yield last year was phenomenal.-Ore-

Railroad Building i'm 1898.

The actual amount of new track laid
in 1898 up to this writing is Isis
miles. This is more than has been
laid in the first six months of any year
since 1892. The figures to June 80
for each of the six years are as follows
10 June 80, 1898, 1914 miles; 1894,
525 miles; 1895, GAL miles; 1896, 1888
miles; 1897, 622 miles. The track
laid. therefore, this year, has been
more than doubled that laid in the
same period of 1894, and nearly double
that Of the first six months of either
1895 Or 1897. In 1S92-the last wear
of prosperity before the panic-the
construction up to June 80 was 1867
miles. The new build ing up to date
this year, therefore, Is within 200 miles
of that OF 1892.
1t is expected that not less than
$5OOOO,OOO would be spent in new con-
structlon this year. The total will
probably reach $6O,OOO,OOO. There
will be $2O,OOO,0O0 more spent this
year than have been spent in any year
since 1898. And there is probably no
other way in which money spent is of
so great public advantage. In the
first place, he cost of new construct
ion is almost entirely paid to labor
either directly to the construction
gangs or in the purchase of materials
(such as :ails, track supplies and tim
ber) IN tie price of which labor is by
far tho largest element. Of the $780,
O00,O0) oein expended, certainly not
less ihan - per cent or $48,0000O0

Honest Work Appreciated.

Ii Governor Rogers has decided to
stand between the spoilsmen of his
party and the state reform school at
Chehalis, his Judgment is to be COM
mended. Superintendent Thomas P.
Westendorf has had charge of that in
stitution for seven years, and during
that time no word of complaint has
been heard throughout the state affect
ing the wisdom of his management.
Hundreds of visitors to the school,
among whom are some of the leading
reform men of the United States, have
testified that the school is model of
it's kind. 1t is unquestionably true
that in no state has such an institu-
ton been made to serve its purpose
better To this it may he added, as is
we known, that while Mr.. Weston
dol has been in charge not dollar of
the public funds has been needlessly
expended. At the end of each binnni.
al term fortion of the reform school
appro riation has been turned back
into he state treasury. The financial
reports Of the school for seven years
show punctilious regard for the public
interests. 1t is rare, indeed, that the
business capacity and the ability sue
cess ully to conduct his chosen work
is so we'll combined as in the case of
Superintendent WestendOrf. If Gov
ernnr Rogers has determined that Wes-
tendorf shall be retained it is because
he appreciates the value of the super
intendent's services to the public, as
we'll as the dangers which would be at
tendant upon change in the man
agement of such an institution made
for political reasons only.-P.-I.
