The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-11-03

Unlike many towns OF even larger siz,
on the Pacific coast. Astoria has an in
terest in the selection which it is be-
lieved the president will make from this
coast to fill the vacancy on the inter-
state commerce commission. The vast
quantities of the salmon product
shipped each year and at all seasons of
the year from Astoria TO every state in
the Union gives our business men a Pc
culiar concern in the proper regulation
Of interstate traffic. For this reason,
there is a strong hope in Astoria not
only that a Pacific coast man shall be
appointed to the commission, but that
the choice shall fall upon Mr. W R.
Wheeler OF the well-known firm of Hol-
brook, Merrill & Stetson, who has been
recommended by the executive commit
tet q tltc L 1dcAllC NOst't JbbpcIS anu

er has been connected with the great
firm in which he is now a partner near
ly ever since it was founded. From boy
hood to mature and middle-aged man
hood Mr.. Wheeler mas made a study
Of Pacific coast conditions He is abund-
antly qualified TO understand the COM
mercial needs of the Pacific coast and
to protect the rights of this section in
its relation to the vast internal trade
Of the country. No better, and it is
doubtful if as good, a selection could
be made as Mr.. Calhouns successor on
the interstate commerce commission
than Mr.. Wheeler. The united influence
Of the press and business men Of the
Northwest should be centered on Mr..
Wheeler, and every possible exertion
made TO secure mis- appointment

A POEM ON MANKIND.

Like what Is man. but like a sproutlnl
weed,
That grows and rlpens but to cast III
seed
Among the thistles and the tnres Of llft
And then to see It strangled In the
stlfe"
or like the clouds that wander with the
breeze
And pass unnoticed from a life OF ease 7
Or like a mushroom, sprung 10 life
alas!
To starve or strangle in the tangled
grass?
These are thoughts that are apt TO
come to many people at times espe-
claliy when they are sick and have 10
pay big prices for medicines. But there
Is one drug store in Oregon where you
can save from 10 to '25 per cent on
everything you buy, and that is J. A.
Clemenson's Drug Store, at 227 Yam
hill street, Portland Ore At that store
you can get Hoods sarsaparllla at zoe;
Nellen's Food 81 size, Soc; Bromo Selt-
ger, 81 size, zoe, and everything else at
the same low rate. You can get red
trading stamps there, and II you need
the Natural Body Brace, you can get It
there.

WILL NOT STAND THE STRAIN.
Light Freight Cars Cannot Be Made
Up in Trains With Those Of
Latest Pattern.

Tacoma Ledger.
Traffic officials Of roads that have a
great many old style freight cars on
hand are confronted with new prob
lem. which is more or less troublesome
and not infrequently the cause Of acct
dent. Thousands Of the old style cars
are made useless by the new patterns
of steel cars and the heavy 100, O,00O-pound
wooden ones. 1t marks a new era IN
freight car building. A great number
Of old cars become greatly weakened
when made uD in trains where the
heavier cars are used. Under ordinary
traffic conditions they would last for
months yet, but when forming parts OF
trairs made up with big steel freight
cars and the for.y-eight ton wooden
ones, they are either pulled apart by
the strain or crushed by the application
Of the air brake. It is estimated that
within twelve months nearly all Of these
light cars will have to be taken out Of
service, or run in trains especially made
up with similar cars.

BRYAN ON FREE SILVER.

While Mr.. Bryan delivered some rath-
er conservative speeches on the money
question " hen campaigning in the East
ern states. he blooms out in the Wet
in fun feather DIS rampant for free si
yer coinage at 16 TO l. and declares the
Chicago platform, with all its repudia-
tion AID agrarial features. one Of the
finest specimens Of democratic ant.
Recently he spoke at Weeping Water.
Neb., as follows:
Il desire again to say to you that the
silver question, as presented four years
ag0-the issue Of 16 to l. If you please
is as alive today as ever, in spite Of the
frantic efforts Of the republican party
20 befuddle that paramount issue. The
Chicago platform is as fine a specimen
Of democratic art today as ever before,
and there Is 1othing in IT, as originally
drafted. that should be repudiated after
four years Of experience. Therefore. let
the lovers Of free silver be not disap-
pointed Or fear that the issUe is being
neglected. Naturally, new issues arise,
following great foreign complications
but they do not necessarily Obliterate
old issues though for a moment they
may over shadow them"
1t will be seen that Bryanism means
Ghear money and 'eDudiation as the
cornerstone Of democratic faith. with
anti-imperialism and enti-expansion as
temporary expedients, and if his state

as they would be won under the leader
ship If Bryan himself.
One Of the most significant Of the re-
cent expressions on the subject by
prominent democrats, was given by the
sound money democrats Of Maryland
a rev days ago. That has been fol-
lowed up by General Horatio c. King,
the leading member Of the Brooklyn
democratic club, who in a recent letter
resigning his membership from the or
ganization, said:
Il hope to live to see the return of the
democratic party to its time-honored
principles. when this mid summer mad
ness Of Organism and populism shall
nave passed away. In the coming ma
tional contest there is no place for a
third party movement and I shall not
hesitate to work with the party that
stands for honest money, the supremacy
OF law and the unqualified support of
the government in its endeavors to put
down rebellion. This is my idea of true
democracy, and I reject the spurious

THE INSURRECTI0N
MUST BE QuELLED
so SAYS THE COMMISSION
Admiral Dewey Says No Alliance Of
ANY Hind MAS Made With
AQuinaldO,

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.--The Philip.
pine commission today submitted to the
president the preliminary report which
II had promised to prepare.
The report appears to be a compact
summary Of conditions on the islands as
the commission left them; Of the hlstor.
ical events which preceded the Spanish
war and led to the original Filipino in
surrection; OF exchanges between Adml-
raj Dewey and other American COM
manders ard the insurgents; the break
ing out end progress of the present in
surrection and finally the statement OF
the capacity Of the Filipinos for self.
government.
A notable feautre of the report is
memorandum by Admiral Dewey ex.
plaratory Of his relations with Agu-
na!do, The report says; 1t was de-
cided to allow Aguinaldo to come
from Hongkong to the city OF Cavlte
on board the McCulloch. He arrived
May 10 and Immediately came on board
the Olympia to call ON the Commander
in Chief Dewey. after which he was al
lowed to land at Cavite and organize an
army.
This was done with the purpose OF
strengthening the United States forces
and weakening those Of the enemy. No
alliance Of any kind was entered into
with Aguinaldo nor was any promise OF
independence made to him. then or at
any other time"
Continuing the report says. Deplor-
able as war is, the one in which we ara
now engaged was unavoidable. We
were attacked by bold adventurous
and enthusiastic army. No alternative
was left, to us, except ignominous re-
treat.
Whatever the future of the Philip
pines may be there is no course open to
us now except the prosecution Of the war
until the insurgents are reduced 70
submission. The commission is Of the
opinion that there has been no time
since the destruction Of the Spanish
squadron by Admiral Dewey when It
was possible to withdraw our forces
from the islands either with honor to
or with safety to the lnhabi-
tants.
The commissioners say the rebellion Is .
Tagalo and when it ends in
Luzon it must end throughout the arch I
Ipelago.
Regarding the failure of native form
of government in the Negroes island
and the success of American control,
the commission says
The fiat failure Of this attempt to se-
,ure an Independent government in Ne
groes,- conducted as 1t was under most
favorable circumstances, makes 1t ap-
parent that there as we'll as in less fav-
,red provinces, a large amount Of
American control is at present absoMt-
Fly essential to a successful administra-
ion Of public affairs.
