A RaseaIly Officer White
washed at Manila.

NEW YORK, May pa special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The war department has received from
the Philippines the official record of a
remarkable trial by court-martial OF
an officer who has escaped conviction
on a charge of grave character in a
manner altogether inexplicable to the
military legal authorities here.
1t appears from the order approving
the proceedings, which did not, there
fore, require action in Washington,
that Captain Jones B. Jeffrey, assist
ant quartermaster of volunteers, was
tried at Manila for Quitting his post
to pillage and plunder, in violation OF
the forty-second article of war;" and
for conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman. Under the first charge
it was specified that Captain Jeffrey,
while on duty at Ilo lilo one night in
February, left his post and entered the
house of native against her protest
and appropriated household furniture,
silverware, jewelry. etc, to the value
of about $500, which he diyided among
the priyates wish him. The specifi.
cations under the second charge de.
scribe him as then appearing intoxi-
Gated among the men and Offering
them liquor, etc.
just how he was acquitted does not
appear, but he was found mot guilty
and that is the emo of the affair so far
as the authorities here are concerned.
Captain Jeffrey is native of Canada
and was appointed to the volunteer
army from Illinois, in May, 1898.

a GOOD PLATFORM.

The San Francisco Examiner pub.
fishes list of six principles as it's
platform, and everyone of them should
be embodied in the democratic nation
al platform of 1900. Upon such dec
laration of principles, the party can
go before the people, and unless voters
have lost their heads, carry large
majority of the states. They are:
First, Public ownership of public
franchises. (The values created by
the community should belong to the
community.
Second, Destruction of criminal
trusts. mo monopolization of the
national resources by lawless private,
combinations more powerful than the
peoples government).
Third, A graduated income tax.
Every citizen to contribute to the
support of the government according
to his means, and not according to his
necessities).
Fourth, Election of senators by the
people. (The senate, now becoming
the private property of corporations
and bosses, to be made truly repre-
sentative, and the state legislatures to
be redeemed from recurring scandals).
Fifth, National, state and municipal
government of the public school sys.
tenn. (As the duties of citizenship are
both general and local, every govern
ment, general and local. should do its
share toward fitting every individual
to perform them).
Sixth, Currency reform, (All the
nations money to be issued by the
national government, and its supply to
be regulated by the people and not by
the banks).

THE "UNCIVILZED'' FILIPINO.

We have been told by writer's de-
scribing the Filipinos that they are
an.uncivilized, nomadic race, incapable
of self government, = race of vaga-
bonds whose sole desire is to plunder
and rob. These we are told are the
people who inhabit the mountains
back from the sea coast, and their
condition is likened to that of the
American Indian when the western
hemisphere was discovered by Colum-
bus. But General Lawton in giving a
report of his campaign, which has
been conducted in only one of the
islands of the archipelago, and covers
a period of only one month, says:
81 have had during the last month
% engagements. Six of my men have
been killed in the field, two have died
from wounds, and 35 have been wound.
ed. The losses of insurgents were over
400 killed, while we have taken 1000
prisoners. released IL Spanish pris-
oners, establishing civil government
in San Miguel, Ralinag and San Isidro
and safely conducted $40 Chinese
refugees who were in fear fors their
lives. In the section traversed, have
destroyed 100000 bushels of rice, 165
tons of sugar and 10000 bushels of
corn. The supplies destroyed would
feed an army of 80, ,O0G men six months"
If the Inhabitants of Luzon are such
an uncivilized, improvident race as
some writers indicate, it is strange
that General Lawton has found such
evidences of civilization in the shape
of tons of rice, sugar and corn. His re-
port would rather indicate that the
Filipinos are a thrifty, progressive
people, who are at least good producers.
A people who are capable of proGuc-
ing such quantities of food cannot
well be a rowing race, for it requires
times and labor to grow crops of corn
and rice. Probably when the truth is
told about the ''unciyilized" Filipino
it will be learned that he will at least |
rank with the Japanese. and while he |
Is not equal to the American citizen,
be is far from being an aborigine, and |
# given an opportunity would succeed |
IN self governing fully as we'll as the
Japanese have.

MORE ALGERISM.

Secretary of War Alger supplied our
army with rotten beef, imperfect camp
equipments and incomplete means for
transportation while they were en-
gagged in war with Spain on the island
of Cuba; and because of his mistakes
many brave mans life was sacrificed.
And now the old renegrade seems de-
termined to annihilase as many of
those in the Philippines as he can by
supplying them with old style rifles
and black powder. while there are
thousands of improved rifles and tons
of smokeless powder that should be at
their disposal. A New York Post
Manila correspondent shows up these
short comings of Alger as follows:
Many of the vouluteers feel very
sore against the authorities, whoever
they may be, who are responsible for
making them go into battle with short
range Springfields and black powder,
against long range Mausers and smoke
less powder. 1t does not soften their
disgust of the administration now,
to get Krag-Jorgensens, that were
here before the last heavy fighting be-
gan, and to learn from the cases the
rifles were packed in that they were
packed in 1897, and haye been lying
in the cases unused during the whole
war with Spain. These soldiers have
hour after hour and day after
day, marched up against entrench
ments from which fire was being
poured upon them at range of 2000
yards, and could not reply because
their guns were inferior 10 range to
those of the enemy. They haye been
fired upon by concealed foe with
deadly effect, the smokeless powder
making it impossible to tell where
their assailants were; and yet every
time they fred their Springfelds a
great cloud of smoke arose to disclose
their exact position to the enemy, and
to obscure their own vision and to pre-
vent accurate shooting. Now they
and Krags that have been lying in
boxes sipce 1897. Those tho have not
got Krags are still carrying black
powder around with them, though
there are millions OF rounds of smoke
less Springfield cartridges here that
might be substituted. In considering
the work the volunteers have done
here, the fact that they were
armed with Spring6elds and black
powder, while the regulars had Krags
and smokeless powder, must add to its

as not,' then she will not accept it un-
der any circumstances. l was as crazy
as all the rest to register in 1894, and
we all went over and registered and
later voted, but have had no interest
in voting since"
This may or may not be the general
sentiment of women, but it serves to
illustrate the lack of interest taken by
the sex in elections where they are
given the right of suffrage. In this
state women are allowed to vote at
school elections, and less that one per
centhave ever exercised that privilege.
If they will not vote at such special
elections it is not likely that any very
large per cent would be found at the
polls at general elections. American
women as a rule have not educated
themselves to the belief that they
should participate in governmental af-
fairs, and it will be many years be-
fore there will be general clamor
among them for the right of suffrage.

can congress will convene next Decem-
Der, and unless something is done dur
ing that session to check the formation
OF unholy combines of capital and to
restrain the operations of those already
formed. the entira platform may be de-
voted to declarations against trusts,
that will not be believed by the people.
Since the beginning of the present
administration, in 1897, trusts have
been formed whose aggregate capital
is over Sc. 500, ,0O0,0 Since the enact.
ment of the present tariff law trusts re-
presenting s6,OOO,OOO,0OO of capital
have been organized, and more than
three.fourths of these are in industries
that are special beneficiaries of pro-
tective tariff. The republican party
has it in its power to deal telling
blow to trusts at the coming session OF
congress by removing the duty on
every commodity the producers of
which have entered into combine for
the purpose of preventing competition
and limiting production. By such
action the sincerity of platform declar-
ations against trusts would be estab-
lished. The people demand and must
have action, mere promises will not be
accepted. The battle is on now be-
tween the people and the pitiless spirit
of monopoly, and action, not future
declarations, is what the people de-
mand.

REPROACH TO SCIENCE.

The army physicians and other med
ical men continue to discuss the ty-
phoid fever deaths in the American
army last year, which were the most
disgraceful feature of our military ad-
ministration. The more the subject
is discussed the more certain does it
appear that the great number of cases
of typhoid and the great number of
deaths were due to neglect of simple
sanitary precautions.
The government appointed board
of three physicians to study the subject
ject, and one of them, DR.. Victor G.
Waugh, recently read a paper in a
medical association in which he sup
ported this conclusion. He went much
further, in fact; he stated that the true
proportions of the epidemic had been
concealed by representing many OF the
typhoid cases as being malarial fever.
He said that practically all the cases
reported by the surgeons as malarial
fever were really mild types of typhoid
fever, and that the army surgeons
showed marked aversion to calling
typhoid by its right name.
Now, what was the cause of the
great outbreak of typhoid in the army
camps? 1t is very simple matter.
Typhoid fever always exists in isolated
cases, and when a thousand men or
more are assembled in an army camp
they are sure to bring the germs of the
disease with them; that is, there will
be a few cases in every regiment or
brigade. The camp sinks, which
should be most carefully attended TO,
were neglected in most shameful
manner, and the flies having access
to the sinks, carried the poison to the
cook tents and deposited IL on the
food. This was the cause of the enor-
nous amount of suffering in such
army camps as Camp Merritt, in San
Francisco, and the great camp iu
Chicamauga.
1t is horrible to think that in this
age of progress in medicine and hy-
giene the volunteer soldiers should
have been poisoned to death because
the camps are filthy. But this was the
case, as was we'll known even before
DIR. Vaughn made his recent an
nouncement. 1t at first was supposed
that in many instances the water sup
ply was to blame, but DR.. Vaughan
says analysis of the water shows that
it was generally pure and wholesome.
The spread of filth in the manner be-
fore described was the beginning and
almost the end of causes of the terri

The United States authorities at
Sau Francisco have refused to permit
the landing at that port OF ten Filipino
musicians who have contracted their
services to play during the coming
season at summer resort in New
York state. They are denied the
privilege of landing on the ground
that it would be in violation of the
alien contract labor law. President
Mckinley has just paid Spain twenty
million dollars for the Philippine
archipelago, or two dollars apiece for
the ten millioa inhabitants thereof.
Our soldiers are fighting against what
the administration terms an insurrec-
tion against the authority of the Unit
ed States in the Philippine islands.
With such an outlay of life and money
it would seem that the Filipinos are
pretty near, if not quite citizens of the
United States, and ought to be admit
ted into this country as such. But
there are some funny things going on
In this country at present.

WOMEN AT THE POLLS.

Very many brainey, good women be-
lieve they areentitled to the right of
suffrage, and are confident that they
are entitled to the right of suffrage,
and also believe that they could work
reforms in politics if granted the privi-
lege of voting and holding Office. Few
of the most radical anti-suffragists
deny the ability of woman to reform
anything she might undertake, yet
they question the advisability of re-
moving the barrier to women voting
at general elections on the grounds
that the best woman would no. avail
themselves of the opportunity, and the
extending of the right of suffrage to
them would throw responsibilities up.
on them that is needless. This. how
ever, is question which the women
who desire the right of suffrage would
prefer to settle for themselves, hold.
ing that If they are willing to assume
such responsibilities it is nobody's
business but their own. Whether the
rank and file of women are really de-
sirous of voting Is possibly best an
swered by themselves by their own
actions in places where the right of
suffrage is extended to them.
In Chicago some five years ago,
women property owners were given the |
right to vote at school elections. In |
the city there were 250,000 women en-.
titled to vote, and in 1894 only 9,815 |
registered and of those who registered
only 80 per cent voted. In 1896, 5,636 |

A ROW IN a TRUST.
Bicycle Manufacturers Are Unable to

Bicycle Manufacturers Are Unable ts
Agree.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The Herald
says: More dissentions have arisen In
the bicycle trust and threaten to dis
rupt that giant combination. When
the hundred or more manufacturers of
bicycles and bicycle parts gave options
on their plants to A. G. Spalding to
June /, it was understood that such
plants as were accepted by him were
to be paid for in cash by that time.
Scores of manufacturers came to this
city last week with the expectation Of
closing their deals with the manager
for the trust. They were more or less
indignant when they were requested
to extend their options to August 1.
1t now develops that several of them
made determined protests against de-
lay, and at least one of the biggest
makers in the combination refused
fatty to renew his option.
More than this, the opposition to the
trust, that was led originally by R. T.
was revived and now threat
,ns to develop more strength than 1t
1t first possessed. 1t will be remem-
,ered that after the incorporation of
he American Bicycle company with .

Mr.. Rynearson was crossing the river,
which is still q greatly swollen and
swiftly flowing stream, on a footbridge
mile and half from town. A float
ing log struck the bridge, demolishing
it and hurling Rynearson into the tur-
bulent water. One of the bridge
boards fell on him. He grasped 1t and
gained footing, but the swift current
again swept him away, and that was
the last seen of him. Searching par
ties are trying to find the body, but
the river cannot be dragged on account
of the swift current. Mr.. Rynearson
was on the way to the city to superin-
tend work on one Of his houses. He

WILL NOT SUFFICE.

Republican leaders view with alarm
the storm that is threatening their
party from the ANTITRUST movement,
and are ready to dodge the inevitable
cyclone by any manner of promise or
pledge. Senator Depew, the most cum
that the next republican rational plat
form will contain declaration against
trusts, and many other prominent
leaders agree with his statement.
There is no doubt that these men are
correct, for in 1888 their platform de-
clared against sail combinations of
capital, organized in trusts or other
wise, to control arbitrarily the con-
dition of trade among our citizens"
and the declaration was repeated in
1892. Even a stronger declaration
may be expected in 1900. and it will
not be surprising if they rant against
trusts as loudly as ward politician
does against buying votes OR Doodle
candidate for United States senator
against corruption of legislatures, but
declarations at that late date will
avail nothing.
It will not suffice for the republican
party to wait until the convening of |
their next national convention to show
heir hand. They are now in full con-
;rol of the legislative and executive

IN THE INTEREST OF BOSSES.

A perusal of the law passed by the
last legislature reapportioning the
state into senatorial and representative
districts will readily convince any one
that the bill was framed with the view
of enabling political bosses to control
future legislatures. 1t will be noticed
that little more than one-half of the
members are joint senators and rep
resensatives, which makes their nomi-
nations necessary at state conventions,
thus enabling the bosses in any party
to bring influences to bear; in short,
to dictate who shall be nominated for
legislative offices.
In creating the several districts
hairs were split very finely in order to
create joint districts instead of giving
counties seperate senators or repre-
sentatives. Care was also taken to
look we'll to the interest of the repub-
lican party by attaching democratic
counties to those giving strong repub-
lican majorities. The apportionment
was made on the basis of 12.C83 popu-
lation for senatorial district and 6041
population for representative district,
but any county falling few short of
the required number was not allowed
a senator or representative, but was
attached to some other country or
counties, and many counties whose
population entitled them at least to a
representative were grouped with
other counties SO as to make major
ity of both houses joint members.
To illustrate, the 21st representative
district is composed of Wasco, Crook,
klamath and Lake counties, with one
represent tative. The 28th district
consists of Grant, Gillian. Sherman
and Wasco counties, with three repre-
sentatives. Wasco county, according
to the state censns taken in 1895, had
a population of very nearly IL 900, and
on the basis of GOAL, should have had
one full representative and one joint
representative with some other county.
Grant, Gillian and Sherman, each
have very nearly 5000 population, and
the same is. true of Crook, klamath
and Lake. But to have given each of
these representative would have in
terfered with the bosses at state con-
ventions. Wasco is also very nearly
entitled to senator, being only few
short OF the requisite number, but in
stead of being given a senator, was
attached to three senatorial districts.
The 9th district is Klamath, Lake,
Crook and Wasco, the Goth Wasco
and Sherman, the 2lst Grant, Gillian,
Sherman and Wasco. Even the boun-
daries of judicial districts were not
considered, which shut off all possibil-
ity of representative and senatorial
nominations being made at any other
place than at state conventions where
bosses can have full sway.
