THE Democratic Senators and Rep.
resentatives got together on the occa-
sion OF Mr.. Bryan's visit to Washing
ton, and agreed to a definite Philip
pine policy to be pursued until the
next national convention. It's princi.
pal tenets are the suppression of the
rebellion, organization of a Republic,
withdrawal of the army, abandonment
of sovereignty and substitution of a
protectorate, retention of coaling sta.
tions, and repayment by the Filipinos
of the $50, OOO, 900 paid for the islands.

THE Oregonian says that the utter

blasphemeous," but it has been noted
that that journal has at times used
oil of vitriol and lunar caustic in
treatment OF what il conceives to be
an infiammaiory symptom, when q
mild enlullient would have served q
much better purpose.

Was 1t Overwhelming

Il makes one tired to read the = syn
l.ra,cl' articles n Republican news
l.1pcr- in li~paragcmcut Of William j.
Ervau anl t. bclittlc hi hold upon
IT," ~vupaihi"s of TN" people. One OF
tlr.r articles in tn" MrmpinH of
"Wednesday pr"tt->,~ t" think 1t
TRANCE. or even incomprchcnsiblc,
that after the overwhelming defeat OF
lS9G,' lie should indulge any hope OF
success now. Ii this profession be
honestly held it would indeed be good
policy, from 4 Republican standpoint,
to lie low and say nothing OF the
weakness III candidate who the oppo-
sition are 50 fooll>hly trying to set up
for their own undolng.
Now let us see how Overwhelming"
the defeat Of 1896 was. In that year
Mr.. BRYAN received 4 million and Il
hall more votes than Mr.. Harrison did
in 1892, million more votes than
Cleveland did in the same year. Not
outstanding it is shown by exact fig
urcs that Mr.. Bryan received $4,000
more votes than Mr.. Cleveland did in
1892, yet Mr.. Mckinley is accredited
with receiving COL ,S54 votes more than
Mr.. Bryan and 1,92S,671 more than
Mr.. Harrison. The apparent increase
of the aggregate vote of 1896 over
1892, is l3 $40 per cent, something so
phenomenal as to have excited grave
suspicion of fairness which led to an
investigation that disclosed the most
infamous corruption, but still, like the
steal of 1876, it was condoncd solely
from the impossibility of securing a
fair deal without danger Of plunging
the country into the horrors of inter-
necine war. The per cent. of in
crease as shown by the votes OF 1892,
over 1888 was only ) ITO, and our po-
litical history has never exceeded those
figures except in 1896.
investigation showed that the
frauds practiced in 1896 were prodig-
ious. In Chicago there were 10000
more votes accredited to the Republi-
can party than were cast. In Ken
lucky the Republican vote was in
creased 62 per cent. over the vote of
the next preceding Presidential cleo.
ton. Notwithstanding the fact that
many thousands who had voted for
Mr.. Harrison cast their ballots for
Bryan. In Ohio, the returns showed
vote for every 1884 of population for
the entire State, and in some parts it
amounted to one for every 2! of popu-
lation.
These are not isolated evidences of
the frauds practiced by having the
election machinery largely in the
hands of violent partisans of the Re-
publican party and the gold-bug De-
mocracy."
Besides this, it is we'll known that
the moneyed power used coercion and
threats to induce laboring men to vote
the will of corporations upon which
they were dependent for their daily
bread.
How can the claim of "overwhelm-
ing defeat" be made in the face of
these facts? The vote cast for Mr..
Bryan aggregated $685., 1926, or a lit
tie over half million less than Mr..
Mckinley received, a margin that
would have been more than eliminat.
ed under an untrammeled vote and q
fair count.

Has Not q Precedent.

The state of lawlessness and in
surrection now paralyzing large
portion of Kentucky is wholly without
precedent in the history of our boosted
republic. The doings at the city OF
Frankfort within the past few days
have shocked the sensibilties OF every
well-meaning citizen of whatever
political party. Indeed, the rule or
ruin policy characterizing both op.
posing forces smacks too largely of
anarchy to be tolerated within the
halo of political jurisprudence. 1t is
true that the soil of that fair state
has been periodically soaked with the
blood of family and petty partizan
feuds, for years back in the history OF
the commonwealth but the frequency
and periodicity of these occurrences
have become SO nearly common
matter in the course of events that
they had almost ceased to excite any
thing more than ordinary comment
among the people at large, but the
late outbreak makes otal ,clipse of
all its predecessors counted together.
Even the deadly animosities of the
Central and South American States
pale into abject insignifcance when
placed beside the disgraceful scenes
now being enacted in this sovereign
member of our enlightened Union.
Hereditary hatreds, neighborhood
ordinations and recriminations, hot
blood, home-distilled whiskey, the
bowie knife and rifle, all told, have
consPired to work up state of affairs
fearful in its possible consequences,
to state the case in the mildest form.

As ANOTHER indication of Nc
Kinley prosperity, it may be noted
that the Great Northern Railroad has
opened recruiting station in Chicago
to secure trainmen to replace those in
service. 1t is reported that 500 have
been enrolled, and none Of these men
know what their duties or ultimate
destination will be, nor by whom they
are employed. Special attention is
paid to the physical condition of ap-
plicants, but they are not examined
as to their experience or ability as
trainmen. 1t is an open secret, how
ever, that they are to be distributed
along the G. N. route between St.
Paul and Seattle, to enable that cor
poration to handle the wage question
to their own satisfaction.

A WOMAN FOR ASSISTANT CITY
PHYsICIAN.-For the first time in the
history of San Francisco, n woman has
been appointed to an official position
in the city government. Mrs. Beatrice
NJ. Hinkle has been selected to fill the
newly created office of Assistant City
Physician, at salary of 800 per
month, the term beginning on the LIST
inst. Mrs. Hinkle is the widow of a
former Assistant District Attorney
and daughter of an eminent physician.
She had always had liking for the
study Of medicine and surgery, and
soon after her marriage began a
course in the Cooper Medical College
which ended in graduation with a
full degree. The desirability of a wo-
man doctor in all public practice
which treats both sexes is apparent at
a glance, and we are pleased that a
western city should have taken this
step in the line of progress.

DECLINE OF GEYsERs IN YELLOW
STONE PARK.-The current issue of
the Scientific american has an article
by Prof. Barbour, Of the University Of
Nebraska, on "The Rapid Decline OF
Geyser Activity in Yellowstone Park, !"
which states that all the spouting
fountains which have afforded such an
interesting study to the naturalist,
show constant and rapid decline in
activity the past few years. This is
not confined to any given portion of
the park, but all seem to be subject to
a change that will if it continues re-
suit in utter extinction in q very short
time-possibly decade. The Pro.
lessor advises tourists who wish to OBJ
serve these mysterious forces of ma.
ture to visit the National Park soon
as possible, for each year they dimin-
ish in the active force which has made
them the wonder of the world.

THERE seems to be signs in
the business world that the
prices in the iron market arc
about to recede to a plane that
is proportional to other business
and one at which all can do BUSH
ness at a profit. Buyers are not
anxious to take finished material
although there is no question
but that there is plenty Of bust
ness in sight They are buying
from hand to mouth waiting for
prices to go back to the normal
and here and there all along
the line Of finished iron material
there are signs OF weakening.
But there is no anticipation Of a
big break in prices, simply get
ting down from the abnormally
high plane upon which prices
were during the first quarter to
one in proportion to prices in
other lines of business.
