SEES ITS MISTAKE.

This paper desires to apologize
to the people of this county for the
part it took in the election of Con.
gresham elect A. J. Campbell. He's
too cheap. We believed it when he
was nomlnated-we know it now,
since he has entered the detective
service of the Anaconda company
Citizens Call"
We congratulate our contemporary
upon it's frankness, and trust that other
Granite county citizens who supported
Mr. Campbell at the last election will
also see their mistake and benefit by
the experience. The Mail was sincere
when it opposed this corporation attor-
ney during the recent campaign and al
ways believed that he was man entirely
unworthy of the support OF honest and
reputable citizens. His very appearance
and remarks upon the platform were
sufficient to convince any audience that
he was cheap man. He was not de-
serving of single vote in Granite
county, and his record, past and present,
conclusively proves that his highest am
bitiOn is TO serve his master. Intelll-
gent people profit by experience. The
voters OF Granite county have been
taught lesson, and that the result of
this county's election in 1900 will be de-
cidedly Republican is foregone conclu.

His Fate.
The within steal

The whimsical plant of the kicker
Kept echoing, day after day.
Men were often amused while they listened
To the things that the kicker would say,
And they vowed he was waggish and merry,
For many, of course, couldn't see
That he was deeply in earnest
AS kicker could possibly be.
But one day the trouble was ended.
This earth moved along all serene.
Each mortal was good to his neighbor
And we never raised kline that were lean.
The rumors of war remained silent,
And men as they toiled day by day
By mutual help were encouraged
And no one complained of his pay.
Yet there sounded one small note of discord
1t was deeply pathetic and strange
AS it murmured UNDECIDED, in protest
'Gainst this very remarkable change.
It came from dark distant corner;
This dismal, dissatisfied sob
That told of grief beyond curing
The kicker was out of a job.

torily require annual enactment. 1t is at
best biennial production. There are some
presidents for its failure, through veto and
otherwise. 1t would not absolutely paralyze
the governments energies to kill the bill
now in order to prevent the enactment of
the canal project into law. But it would
cause great embarrassment and loss 1t

depend for their success and economy upon
the continuity OF the appropriations.
1t would do more. 1t would in effect noti-
fy the other powers that the United States
is unready in meeting an emergency and
accepting an opportunity. The situation de-
mands that this government now lay its
hand upon the isthmus and say to the
world: I'VE are going to dig this ditch
Our war with Spain proved it to be mill
tary necessity. Everybody knows that 1t
is a commercial necessity. Our people de-
mand it for both reasons. No other power
shall be permitted to have a voice in its
control, although all other nations are to
enjoy its commercial USE

now. If possible it must be accompanied
by specifications as to what we propose to
do and how we are to do it. The problem is
easier now than it will be a year hence.

Dewey's call for the Oregon brings that
vessel once more acutely into the public
horizon as q demonstration of a national
need Her remarkable trip around the Horn
in racing time the last essential to
prove TO the people that an isthmian canal
must be built by this government Her
prcsence-at last accounts-at Honolulu,
without means OF immediate communica-
ton with the department in this city when
from the Philippines comes hurry requisi-
ton for her, points quite as clearly and
emphatically to the need of cable between
the Pacific coast and the Hawaiian Islands.
Were there such cable it would be posi-
bic now to send word to Captain Barker
to push his ship along to Manila at top
speed. But as Ii is, with steamers the only
means of communication, the Oregon will
doubtless have left Honolulu long before
word could thus be sent and received, If
indeed she had not left before the word of
her presence there reached here. Now that
Hawaii is in the American system, and par
ticulariy in view Of the prospect that some
day in the relatively near future a canal
will be cut through the isthmus and the
Pacific trade will be vastly increased, Ii is
one Of the most urgent projects at present
in view that cable be laid Immediately to
Honolulu under American auspices In the
course of time that city will become great
naval rendezvous Especially If the United
States retains a holding in the east will it
be necessary that Hawaii be equipped with
every possible advantage for the harhorfng
and the repair Of ships of war As con-
dition precedent to this Development which
Is as certain to come as time itself the

RGdyard kipling.

The concern which is shown on all sides
for the recovery of Mr.. Rudyard Kipline
from the disease which has so suddenly
attacked him in this county is evidence of
the strong hold which he has upon the
symDathies of his readers. Kipling is a
unique figure in modern literature His
growth has been phenomenal. Whether re-
garded as poet or prose writer he is
head and shoulders above many of the men
who had received the stamp of public ap-
prevail long before this obscure Anglo
Hindu life. Kipling has in remarkable de-
gree, the power of saying things plainly.
1t is, indeed somewhat reTnarka bic in itself
that the faculty Of plain statement should
be so rare as to attn act worldwide atten-
ton when ii is accompanied by a sense of
literary proportion. Kipling's poems have
appealed to the imagination of English and
breathed the spirit of the time because
they have struck a resonant note of human
sentiment and sympathy. He is not a poet in
the same degree that Bryon and Burns and
Milton were poets. His songs are the songs
of strength. They are vernacular- They
are tangible and understandable. Perhaps
that is why so many people, even those
with some degree of distaste, feel thai
Kipling is the most striking personality in
all the literary horizon today. And that is
why the bulletins from his bedside are be-
ing read with great and universal interest.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The alarming extent of the ubiquitous
private letter box evil was brought to pub
lie attention by the Cornish adams poison
ing mystery in New York city. The Pest
Office Department has taken up the matter
and under instructions from Washington
the postmaster at Philadelphia has made
a test crusade. Two private letter box es-
adjustments in the heart of the city were
selected and all mail except that directed
TO the proprietors of the places withheld
The addresses of the letters withheld were
notified they could obtain their mail on
Identification but few responded. One hum
drcd and seventy-fve letters have been i'm
pounded. Several have been sent to Wash
ingtOn as evidence of the immoral and
fraudulent uses to which these boxes have
been put. A ruling from the Post Office
Department forbidding the delivery of mai
10 all such places seems to be necessary.

The situation at Manila.

Admiral Dewey cables for the oregon
II is hurry call because he knew that the
ship was on the way. She will prooaplS
get there in time She has a way OF arfiN-
ing in time. And let us hope that she may
prove as serviceable for any purposes Ad-
niraI Dewey has in mind as she did in Gu
ban waters under the orders of Admiral
Sampson.
Political reasons are the basis for the
call They are not explained. Naturally
speculation concerns itself with possible
new complications. What may they be?
The situation at Manila is serious on
shore The Filipinos have no force afoat'
and are troublesome only in the jungles
or in hiding within the American lines
Their audacity is increasing. and all inter
ests ashore are in some measure threat
ened. But the American troops are in force.
ana they are being handled with the ex-
press object in view of protecting life and
property. There would appear to be no
excuse for landing sailors the part of
any foreign power represented in the har-
bor-eertainIy none at all except by the
permission of Admiral Dewey. The coun-
try is likely to sanction whatever he does,
permits to be done.
But his message is important, and it de-
serves to be considered in all possible as
poets The country ought to be prepared
for any developments. So far as the Fill
piuos are concerned the duty is plain. The
fullest measure of protection should be af-
forded all who show confidence in the
American purpose and friendship for the
American forces. The severest punish
ment should be inflicted on all who take
Up arms and assist the program of Aguin-
aldo. So far as all foreign powers are con-
cerned the watchword should be hands
Of" The Philippines are American terri
Tory, and must be respected as such. The
dillydallying at Madrid counts for nothing
The stars and stripes on the staff at Ma
Mia represent as much authority as though
The peace treaty had been ratified by the
CORES twenty times over.
The growing gravity of the situation,
however, has TO effect on the indictments
here at home. Mr.. German. with only a
week of official life left in him, is still
playing ward politics in the Senate and
Mr.. johnson in the House is singing his
swan song of defamation and scurrility.
