This six months truce in the
railroad war reminds one of one of
Artemus Wards Jokes. He would
stop in the midst of one Of his lee
lures and announce that there
would now be an iutcrmission of
thirty minutes, and then while the
audience would be struck with
CONSERVATION he would remark
dryly that during the intermission
he would 60 on with his lecture.
The railroads have agreed upon a
six-months truce, but during the
truce they will go on with their
preparation to fight for every foot
of advantage In the Clearwater

there was considerable kicking and
squirming among the farmers. me-
chanics and merchants, but now
the whole thing Is passed up to
the railroads. They object to a
proportional raise and are making
a fight before the state board oil
equalization. 1t is hardly likely
that the state board will grant any
favors to the corporations. They
will not care to go on record as
granting to the railroads what they

The rainfall Of the past few days
shows up the street drainage to a
bad advantage. 1t illustrates the
point that nothing has yet been
done to better the conditions which
have been deplorable now for sew
eral years. The water still stands
in pools, puddles and lakes after a
hard rainfall, and the constant
heavy traffic will soon churn it
into the loblolly of mud that has
characterized the appearance OF
Lewiston streets for the past few
years. This condition calls loudly
for relief, and the council should
be warned in time to make the i'm.
proycments before the winter rains
set in. The energies of the city

channel that will result in some
permanent gain for street improve

The New Philippine Outlook.


1t becomes clear to everybody
who views the Philippine situation
without any prejudice that the
rebellion in the islands will be
quickly brought to an end after
the campaign reopens i'll October
or November, if it does not end by
the submission of Aguinaldo before
that time. About four-fifths of
the new volunteer army has now
been raised, and the whole of it
will be enlisted before the end of
this week. Otis is doing almost
equally we'll with the two regiments
he is raising in the Philippines
from the volunteers whose regl-
ments are being sent home to be
mustered out, and from the regulars
whose enlistments have expired
There will be in the Philippines
or on the way about 46, 900 men,
so the Adjutant General reports,
by October 20. which is before the
date at which it is understood that
the new forward movement is to
begin.
With an army of as, 900 men in
the field, the probability is that
the rebellion can be suhjugated
inside of three or four months at
the latest. 1t must be remember.
ed that, as compared with the new
condition, the Americans were un-
der many serious disadvantages in
the campaign which closed a few
weeks ago. They did not expect
the uprising. 1t began when the
campaigning season was about half
over. The numbers and style of
lighting of the Filipinos were un-
known 10 Otis men. Otis army
was much smaller than 1t will be
when the next campaign begins.
Moreover. Aguinaldo thought last
February, when he rose against
the Americans, that he would
have practical aid from the "anti-
imperialists" of the United States
from the Hoars, the Atkinsons,
the organs, the Germans, the
Vests and their congeners. He
supposed that a little resistance on
his side would arouse the flag.
furlers to come to his rescue and
for &C the administration to remove
the troops from the islands. In
all these important particulars
the situation will be changed
when the time for the advance
against the rebels comes.
In every particular the con.
ditions will be better for the
Americans than they were when
Aguinaldo made his first assault
on Otis in the early days of Feb
ruary of this year. The American
commanders and their men have
had experience in fighting in tie
islands. They will expect the
fighting to take place, whether it
does or not. There will be at least
twice as many men to do the fight
ing as were on hand in the recent
campaign. They have a good
knowledge of the country around
Manila, which they did not possess
when the rebellion began last
winter. The copperheads in this
country have been pretty thorough
ly cowed by recent events, and
their pernicious activity will be
diminished heuceforth. When
the Maryland Democratic Couven-
ton the other day, which was
dominated by that arch trickster
and copperhead German, lodged
the entire issue of the Philippines,
there is a pretty strong indication

I got sister to make the Postum next
morning strictly according to direc-

teen minutes after the boiling begins.

to her taste, than the old and father,
who is an elderly gentleman and had
used coffee all his life, appeared 10
