The report OF the finding by the Ameri-
can advance under Gen. Macarthur OF
twenty Filipino soldiers with their threats
cut, presumably because of their refusal
to continue the fight against the Ameri-
cans, taken in connection with the report
Of the summary execution OF Gen. La
Garda for urging Aguinaldo to make terms
with tho Americans. indicates the APP
proach of the end OF the Filipino govern
ment. Aguinaldo has the reputation of be-
ing exceedingly considerable of his follow
ers, and not inclined to violence or un-
necessary bloodshed. 1t is evident that
the crushing reverses experienced by his
army has turned his head, or. what is far
more likely. he has lost control Of his SUBJ
crdinates. In either event. his brief career
in arms against the Americans must soon
end

A GROWING SUNDAY PAPER.

Believing in the substantial value OF an
enlarged edition of daily newspaper for
Sunday. the editors OF the Post-Inteili-
gencer have for some time been giving
unusual attention to Sunday issues. Re-
Gently the edition has been placed in tn.
exclusive charge of special editor, whose
aim is TO make it the most readable Sun
day journal in the Western field. The
changes which have been inaugurated
have met with such gratifyingly favorable
reception by the readers OF the Post-Iu-
teIligencer that 1t has been determined TO
still further enlarge. improve and Illus
trate the edition. A special stan OF writ
ers has been secured. Matters appe-tain-
ing to the Northwest will be given greater
space. The worlds interesting incidents.
narratives, literature, history. hunor, Car
toons, politics-in fact. every aspect of
modern activities that can possibly inter-
est a reader will be incorporated in some
manner in the Sunday Post-Inteliigeneer.

citing on the Chicago election is now

Betting on the Chicago election is now
in full swing in that city. While bettors
usually have no sentiment, though their
politics make them lean to their own can
didate. none OF them like to lose money,
and where they are afraid to bet on their
own favorite they are willing TO put up a
stake on the plurality of the other candi-
date. Up TO date the betting is all in fa-
ycr OF Mayor Harrison. The Republicans
are waiting. however, to see how the wind
behaves to John +. Altgeid. The indica-
tons now point to the reelection OF May
or Harrison by large plurality. his stand
against The dfty~year street railway fran
chses having made him many friends
among the Republicans.

CoW.itz taliey journal
In this issue We have several clippings
from different papers throughout the state
showing UP the roftenness or the late flu
sion senate. The Vancouver Register.
whose editor was president OF the senate,
makes a weak effort 10 condemn the Re-
publican house by saying il was claiming
the credit for economy when In fact many
OF the state officers have been granted
an insufficient amount OF money for the
proper transaction OF business connected
Herewith" This insufficient. amount was
greater than the Populis,s gave them, and.
as the Journal stated before election. many
deficiency bills would he presented, and
sure enough they were and had TO be paid.
This was the size OF the economy that
was preached last fail. The fusion papers
have no words of defense for the late flu
sion senate. and the people generally I'M
derstand the situation sufficiently not to
vote any more reformers into any offices
where there is money to be spent

PQRE FOOD LAW.

Pure food regulations are the out
growth OF oleomargarine. science and
American trickery. Having been arrived
at by an elaborate process Of experience
they ought to be respected. Every Amer
lean with a bad stomach is an argument
in favor OF them. Every cuspidor in the
hotel corridors. to WHICH foreigners find
it difficult TO accustom themselves. is
mute, gaping evidence that the Ameri-
can doesn't know enough to take care Of
his Intervals until he gets a stringent
law that prevents him from doing other
wise.
All strictly proper cities nowadays
keep on the track of the food bunkoers
by compelling them to brand their
wares false when they are false or to
pay a fine bigger than the profit in deal
ing in the false wares. The effect thus
far has been good. 1t has partially

task before him In enforcing the new

duty to see that he has behind him all

cultivated the habit OF rejecting adul-
