ALL republicans look nike to
the bosses, but they arn't. The
bosses assume that the Teller
republicans have forgotten that
the st. Louis convention adopted
the gold standard, and that the
Colorado delegation walked out Of
that convention. In the scramble
for Office politicians forget their
creed, their country, and their
all except Office. But the people
are guided by their convictions
as to what is best for them. And
Teller republicans are not going
back this year in droves to the
administration gold standard par
ty, simply because M effort is be-
ing made to divert their attention
to Manila or South Africa.

THE PEOPLES CANDIDATES.

Roderick A. Chisholm. nomi-
mated for reelection as clerk and
recorder, has made popular off,
Ger, SO much SO that the office
again sought the man. He has al
ways kept himself free from any
entangling alliances with any sort
OF 1obbery, and when the salary
Of his deputy was cut down to tho
mere pittance of 5000 Il year by
Commissioner Clark, because he
could not be handled, Mr.. CHS
holm went down into his own
pocket and paid his deputy out of
his own money rather than put
himself under obligations to that
commissioner. So faithful has
been that officer that his election
has already been conceded aud the
republicans themselves nie anxious
to do him the honor of endorsing
his nomination.
George A. Carpenter. who has
been re-nominated for superin-
tendent of schools, lias made
good and efficient officer and had
to ask no one for support for a
second term. This has been an
Office where much has been said
about stufiing fee bills. The old
law allowed the superintendent So
a day and mileage which has
tempted many n superintendent to
run up large bills against the
county. When Mr.. Carpenter was
a candidate two years ago he
agreed to do the work OF the office
for 800 month and actual ex-
penses. This promise he has kept
and has done a. efficient work ns
wns ever done in the county.
These are two good reasons why
he should be reelected. aud We
know OF no reason and can hear OF
no reason why he should not be
reelected. The teachers, ire.
spec'ive Of party, aud many re:
luhlicans who have special inter.
"s's in our schools, are supporting

ALASKA BOUNDARY
CAUSING CONCERN
Serious Clashes Feared Between Amer
leans and anadians-Britisha and
American Governments Soon to
Take heEMatter Up.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says ::
Despite the representations of this gov.
ernment specting the encroachments of
subjects of Great Britain upon Alaska
territory, and of the danger of clash
between them and Americans, the Sails
dury government has made no satisfactory
reply.
1t is the expectation of well-informed
officials that the Alaska boundary
question will be seriously discussed
between the United States and Great
Britain during the coming month. 1t is
believed by the administration that if
the boundary were well defined there
would be no danger of trouble, but the
lack of definite knowledge concerning
the location of the line gives to Canadians
opportunity to encroach upon American
territory, and the Americans to retaliate
by encroaching upon Canadian territory.
Where the land is valuable on account OF
the presence of gold trouble is likely to
arise.
Some consideration has been given to
the advisability of sending troops to the
district in dispute, but this might be
objectionable to Great Britain and also
be provocative of trouble therefore none
will be sent.
1t is thought the British government
will try to hold the ratter open unit

after the elections have been held il

HAVE WHEAT
ON HAND.
One Quarter of the 1898 Crop of Lane
County Not Sold.

EUGENE, March 19.-Men state that
fully twenty-five per cent of the wheat
crop of 1898 in Lane county is still in
the hands of the growers. No sales are
being made, as the price quoted in
Eugene is only 40 cents per bushel.
Prospects are that better prices will not
prevail for some time. Farmers state
that this years crop of wheat will be
short. Fall wheat of rank growth was
killed by the cold weather, but in no
case reported has the damage been
sufficient to warrant re-seeding. Scat
tered over the fields were spots of rank
grain, and that was killed, leaving the
balance of the field in good condition.
One farmer says that in field of fifteen
acres on his farm fully one-third of the
crop is destroyed, but the damaged spots
are SO scattered that reseeding is un
warranted. Similar reports come from
all parts of the country.

HE ADOPTS
HEROIC MEASURES
Condemns to Death Twelve Residents
of Manila, Who Advocated Sur
render-Gallant Work of a Com
pany of Washington Volunteers.

MANILA, March 20.-8 20 a. NIT is
reported on hitherto reliable authority
that Aguinaldo is taking extreme meas
ures to suppress signs calculated to
cause cessation of hostilities. Twelve
adherents of the plan of independence,
residents of Manila, have been con-
demned to death because they wrote ad-
vising surrender, and all loyal Filipinos
have been called upon to perform the
national-servlce of dispatching them.
On Friday last La Garda visited La
gordas for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with
the insurgent leader. and attempted to
convince him of the folly of his persist
ence in the face of overwhelming odds.
Aguinaldo was furious at the advice,
and ordered General La Garda to be ex-
ecuted Immediately. The unfortHnate
general was promptly decapitated.
Among the incidents of yesterday s
fighting was the GOODNESS exhibited by a
company of the Washington volunteers,
who crossed the river in canoe under 9
heavy fire, fifteen being taken across or
each trip of the small boat, to attack
the enemy's trenches. The inability o
the commissary train to keep up with
the advanceled to considerable suffering
and many of the men were completed,
exhausted when they were recalled, and
