THE ABERDEEN --MONTESANO
ROAD.

The HERALD is pleased to see the Daily
Bulletin taking up the agitation Of the
much-needcd road between Aberdeen
and Montcsano. begun by this paper
nearly three years ago, and which was
expected would have been built in the
wear 1899. But the difficulty OF getting
Il road to the city limit on the east, stood
in the way OF action by the county author
tiles, and is still the leading obstacle.
1t goes without saying that the portion
of Chchalis county containing onehalf
the county's population, and four-fifths
Of its taxable wealth will not remain for
ever content without road to the county
seat. and the outside world. And it is
equally plain that were the county seat
located on the Harbor our friends in the
eastern and central parts OF the county
would be perfectly right in demanding a
road to it.
The building OF the road out OF Aber-
deem devolves upon the city, and the city
council should take the proper steps to
locate and build it. A competent en-
r,neer should be employed by the city to
look out the most feasible route, the
nropcrty owners along which should he
asked to aid the enterprise, and build
the road as public necessity. With the
road built to the eastern boundary OF
Aberdeen, public opinion on the north
side of tile Harbor would quickly compel

A movement is on foot among the BUSH
ness men to have our postoffice facilities
increased in measure commensurate
with the volume of Aberdeen business.
In order to increase the receipts of the
office, the business men agree, in making
remittances to wholesale houses, to re-
init portion of the payment in postage
stamps. All postofiices are rated accord
ing to the amount of business done in
the year ending March 81, SO that we
have three months in which to increase
the business of this office to $4,000,
which would give us free city delivery.
Or if this amount cannot be raised, it
can be made sufficient to increase the
clerical force so as to give night service,
that would enable the distribution OF
the mails at whatever time OF night
they arrived.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY, DEC. 81, 1900.
THE SAME ALTERNATIVE.

When the tories Of Great Britain were
soliciting votes last fall to return them
topowcr, they protested vclemently that
their defeat would bring dishonor to the
flag IN South Africa, whereas their tri
nmpll would he Immediately followed by
the submission Of the Beers. The stub
born Dutchmcn were only waiting, they
said, for news Of tory victory at the
polls to lay down their arms in uncondi-
tional surrender. 1t was argued Incl
dcntally that the war was practically over
and that only few guerrilla bands re-
NAMED IN the field, their object being to
keep up an appearance of war in the
hope that the liberals would come into
power at the British elections and re-
establish the Bocr governments in South
Africa.
These hustings arguments in the Brit
ish elections were precisely like republic
can stump speeches during the Mckinley
campaign. TO recall the one is to under
stand the other. Substitute in a British
speech the name Of AguinaldO for Kru-
ger, the Philippines for South Africa,
the FiIipinos for the Beers, Americans
for British, Mckinley for the conscrva-
tive and Bryan for the liberal candidate,
and old glory for the union jack, and you
have fair sample OF an American
speech. Reverse the process with an
American speech and you produce a
British speech. But the British people
have now awakened to the hollowness OF
all that sort Of talk. The news from
South Africa adn,ouishcs them that If
the war was nearly over during the cleo
tions, it has revived with all the vigor it
that it was not nearly over then, and
that they were fooled by tory politicians.
This suspicion is well founded. Nor is
it the worst OF the matter. There is no
likelihood Of course, that the British
will be ultimately defeated but it is now
morally certain that their final victory
WIN come u %iIa} Hiatt and devastated.
And as the British outlook in South
Africa is growing darker, 80 is that Of the
Americans in the philippines. elm
coln," the Washington correspondent of
the Boston Transcript, predicts change
of policy in the not distant future. He
bases his prediction not upon any init
nations the administration is throwing
out, but upon the fact that President
Mckinley is an opportunist, coupled with
the further fact that the situation in the
Philippines is from military point of
view becoming serious. Upon what he
regards as good authority, "Lincoln"
says that the only solution Of the Philip
pine problem consistent with the con-
tinuance OF the present policy is extir-
mination. There, then, we have the
British tories and the American republic
cans facing the same alternative regard
ing the peoples whose countries they are
respectively invading. They must either
abandon their demands for uncondition-
al surrender or extirminatc the objects
of their benevolent attentions.

Montesano by the county authorities.
The Chamber of Commerce might take
this matter up with the city council to
good advantage, and, by getting that
body to act at once, could have the mat
ter in shape to go to the county authori-
ties with definite proposition early IN
the spring, so that the entire road could
be built during the coming summer.

COURT OF INQUIRY.
To Investigate Shooting OF Il Filipino
ny Captain MCGOWAN.


WASHINGTON, D. c., May ia
court of inquiry has been ordered to meet
in Washington on May 21st, composed of
Admirals Rodgers, Cotton and Terry, TO
investigate the circumstances attending
the shooting by Captain MCGOWAN of u
Filipino near the United States steamship
Monadnock, in the hartsor of Cebu, on
November 81, 1899, and also the alleged
failure of the captain to report the matter
TO the commander-in-ch of the Asiatic
Squadron.
The facts of the case, as reported to
the Department, are that the officer was
on the deck Of his ship at the noon hour
when the regular officer of the deck was
at dinner below. lowering about was a
ma tive boat which had been warned away
before, only 10 return. When this craft
failed to maze off as required, the cap
tain himself, taking q revolver, sought
to frighten the crew by firing a shot
across the bow. Unfortunately. the shot,
striking the water, was DETECTED SO as to
pass drought the body of one of the
Filipinos
The wounded man died in the course Of
a day or TWO. The Navy Department
made inquiries to learn the facts. Admi-
raj Watson responded that t,ae matter had
not been reported to him.
Captain MCGOWAN is broken in health
as the result of the service on board the
monitor in the harbor OF Manila, and has
pending an application 10 be permitted 10
retire under the terms of the act allowing
retirements with an advance OF grade,
but his application has not been granted
so far, on accountof the fact that the per-
sonnet act does not sanction any more
retirements OF captains during the present
fiscal year.

DEMOCRATS DISAGREE
Over Mode OF Selecting Delegates to
Kansas City.

JACKSON, MISS, May 17.-The Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of Adams
county Ibis evening refused to make pro-
vision for the plurality primary, ordered
by the State Executive Committee. to Sc
lect delegates to the Kansas City Conven-
ton. and select a, political electoral ticket.
This IS the fifth county district in the
State to condemn the State Committees
order. and it now begins TO look as though
the State viii not be represented al the
National Convention unless the chairman
of the State Committee calls another meet
ing to provide a convention, as he is being
urged to do.
Prominent party leaders threaten. that il
the primary plan is carried out, they Will
contest the delegation at Kansas City, on
the ground that the method OF selection
is in violation of the State primary election
law which provides that the selection of
delegates TO a national convention must be
by party convention.
Several members Of the State Commit
tee. who were not present at the meeting
held on the 30th of April, when the plu-
rality primary was ordered, have repu-
dated the action taken.
