DEWEY.
Redlands Facts: dewey did it. has
been very common expression iuh-
ming through the newspapers up to the
present time. S'Dewey said 1T is not
apt to become quite as popular, es-
pecially since he has, utterly crushed
the hopes of the Democrats and would
be Fusionists by declaring that under
no circumstances will he consent to be-
come a candidate fer the presidency
Moreover, he has given the direct lie to
many reputed assertions of know-it-alls
that he would be out for the once IN
time or eventually give his consent no!
Dewey said it" will not be as popular
as Dewey did It," and we miss our
guess If in certain quarters the latter
expression is not tabooed altogether
hereafter.
AUTOMOBILES.
Willows Journal About fifteen
months ago a horseless carriage was
brought from Paris to this country, the
invention of Frenchman. Since that
time an American manufacturer, who
pays a royalty to the French inventor,
has sold over 800 carriages right in
Paris. The cost of the American car
riage is one-half the price paid for the
oh ri nj ho
buying them as fast as they can be
made and get them for much less than
an American can buy them at the
factory. This is an illustration Of the
genius and energy of the American who
enjoys protection at home to such an
extent that he can sell at $500 in a for
eign market, what readily brings $1,1OO
at home. Is there any need of protect
ing him longer?
HOPES FOR McKINLEY'S DEFEAT,
Humboldt Standard: The Anti-Im-
perialist League has an ally, or at least
a well-wisher, in Germany. Dispatches
from Germany, found in Sunday morn
ing's San Francisco dailies, show that
the German press is hostile to President
Mckinley. One dispatch says: The
Semi Official Post Germany expresses,
editorially, the hope that the Anti-Im-
perialist movement would lead to the
defeat of President Mckinley" This
shows that the Government in Germany
hopes for the defeat of Mckinley.
Why? Manifestly because the leading
officials and papers believe that new
American tariff law would be enacted
which would be more favorable to them

doned, in case President Mckinley
should be defeated.
The sugar duty in our tariff laws, and
the certainty that we shall have
enough sugar-producing territory to
supply our demands without buying
beet sugar from Germany, render the
present Administration distasteful to
the Germans Our protective tariff
keeps the money at home to pay our
workmen and our farmers, instead of
sending it to Europe and paying Ger
man laborers' and mechanics wages in
their own country. This is the secret if
German hostility to President McKin-
ley in Europe. But, when the Germans
wish to thrive by getting American
wages, they must come to America,
where they are welcome, for they make
good, thrifty, frugal and energetic
citizens. 1;fu
The Germans who live in this country
and have become citizens Of America.
will have but little sympathy with the
semi official utterances Of the Post"
We can get along very well without
any interference in our politics from
over the sea, and Mckinley will be
elected on an American, protective and
sound money platform as he was In
1896, though. every German official
paper in the empire should denounce
him. The Anti Imperialist may be
proud Of his allies in Europe. If we
should surrender the Philippines they
would be a rich prize for the German
Emperor. who is looking after new ter
ritory and has invaded China with the
hope of securing a large slice of her
territory when the carving up pro-
cess begins.
ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Alameda Encina1: The Canadians
persist in their demand that the United
States give them some of the Alaska
territory belonging to this country and
whose title was never called in question
during all the Russian occupancy and
during our own until the gold discov-
cries on the Yukon made them want
seaport in Alaskan waters. The Amer
lean people will never consent to this.
AS we'll might this country demand
Vancouver Island or any other portion
of the Canadian territory upon which it
might set eovetous eyes. The United
States would be very foolish to even

arbitration. A householder does not ar
bitrate when burglar gets some of his
property and is caught while trying to
get away. And that is about the posi-
ton occupied by Canada. She has not
