WILL ORGANIZE NOW.

The board Of assessors will organize
Immediately The probability is that
Capt. Amos NJ Parker, who Is senior
member by many years will be elected
chairman of the board. He is now in
his 18th year of continuous service as
assessor. He and his associate, Geo.
r. Hurlbu.t, are well pleased that a
choica was made last evening. Had
the choice been delayed another week,
the work of the board would be seri-
ously interfcred with. The assessors
at present are working on the value of
land which they estimate from plans in
their office. 1t is far more easy and
more accurate to fix land values from
plans than by viewing it, because there
is no liability to error or question re-
garding boundaries. Buildings will be
appraised later. They invariably take
q view first.

Chief brennan Has No Mercy on oisot-

Chief brennan is determined that the
ESTABLISHMENT conducted by Mary B.
R0bertson, at 1913 Main street, shall be
broken up. The woman was arrested
yesterday morning by Sergt. Hill and
Officer H. B. Streeter of station 1 and
locked up in the Waldo street station
house on the charge of keeping a dis
orderly house.
The Robertson flat has been under
surveillance for some time, and officers
state 1t is one of the worst resorts of
its kind in the city The place has
been raided frequently and the pro-
prietress brought into court on different
occasions. A few weeks ago two young
women, who said they came to this
city from Boston, were taken from the
house, but allowed to go on condition
that they leave the city.
Sunlt.y the house was raided, and a
quantity of liquor found which was
claimed by John Lofgren, a man 81
wears of age, who lives in the house.
The officers say Lofgren is merely a
boarder or hanger-on at the house and
takes charge of the refreshment de-
partment.

At last the timid, faltering gentle
man in the White House has decided
at last to send reinforcements to the aid
of the gallant but hard pressed troops
in the Philippines, who have not force
enough to hold captured territory.
This handful will scarcely change mat
tiers. 1t is merely trifiing with the sit
uation. If the President is determined
to carry out to the end policy of con-
quest, such as he has undertaken, he
should take action that will accomplish
something in that direction. He should
at once convene Congress and get war
rant to send a sufficient army to carry
out that policy, or else change his
policy.

THE AWFUL COST OF TT.

A conservative estimate of the cost
OF our senseless war in the Philippines
to date is 100000 900.
This, of course, includes the 500. 1000
600 foolishly paid Spain for the islands
when Spain had lost title to them
And to this we must add the thousands
OF dead, wounded and sick unto death
among our splendid soldiers. In lives
lost the Philippines fighting has al
ready cost more than double the num-
Der OF lives lost on the field and from
wounds in the late Spanish war.
1t was sorry day when the Presi-
dent listened to greedy Wall street and
reversed the wise and humane Amer
lean policy of Admiral Dewey. who
gave fraternal recognition and aid tn
the Filipino government and was on
most excellent terms with the natives.
who acted as his allies against the
Spanish and accomplished the fall of
Manila. Admiral Dewey had the situ-
alton in such shape that he could have
sailed away with the good will of the
natives or have peacefully secured a
coaling and naval station at Manila
all that this country needs or the Amer
lean people want or have use for in
those islands from either a military or
trade point of view.
Indeed, Dewey proved himself not
only the greatest sea-fghter of his
tory, but wiser statesman and diplo-
mat than any or all now in control at
Washington.
What he left in excellent order and
peaceful the administration politicians.
