AN IDEAL GOVERNMENT.

The associated press dispatches
make William Jennings Bryan say,
Il believe that all people are capa-
BILE of governing themselves, ,and that
the Filipinos should be allowed to
govern themselves; but I do not be-
lieve they are sufficiently advanced
to share with us in the government
of the nation. IF the Philippine
Islands are annexed, the people
must either be citizens or subjects.
am not willing to admit them as
citizens and do not believe that q
republic can have subjects, there
fore I want this nation to give them
Independence, and then protect
them from outside interference"
The American Indians when first
found upon this continent were
capable of governing themselves in
the rude and barbarous methods
as practiced by them in that time.
No doubt the Filipinos are capable
of governing themselves in a simi-
lar manner, and Mr.. Bryan wants
the United States to give them in
dependence, and protect them from
outside interference. Mr.. Bryan
is one of that talkative class of peo-
pie who complain at every move

Revive Board of Equalization,

The lowering of the assessments
of property in Multnomah county
eleven millions of dollars for last
year will open the eyes Of the peo-
pie to the necessity of a state board
of equalization. It is claimed that
Portland does over $10O,000,0O0
worth of business year and yet
the merchandise of that big city
is assessed at only $2,0O0,000.
The money on deposit in the
national banks alone is over
81, 100000 and yet the money is
assessed at only $527000, and
these are only two items of this
outrageous assessment, which is a
fraud on the balance of the state,
and Governor Geer thus punctures
this fraud: thereafter when
Seattle man asks me what is the
matter with Portland that the
value of its property has decreased
more than $1O,oOO,000 in the most
prosperous years in the history of
the country known, I will reply
that she is dominated by that same
blushing modesty that constrains
the average wealthy man from pub
fishing to a curious world the sum
total of his wealth or anywhere
near It," The only remedy for the
balance of the st ate is in a state
board of equalization, the cost of
which is nothing compared TO what
the Taxpayers of the state would
save this year by having the
assessment of Multnomah county
raised to a decent figure. B.

1t is said that many of the demo-
cratic leaders throughout the Uni
ted States have addressed letters
offering their friendly advice to
Bryan to withdraw before the next
national democratic convention as a
candidate for president. The reason
given for this unusual instruction
is that they believe Mr.. Bryan's
support Of the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1, and his..opposition to the
idea of national expansion will
surely lead to his defeat. Those
democratic brethren need not fear.
No man was ever nominated or
elected president, whose tongue
swung too aid fro with equal regu-
larity as the pendulum of clock
during every day and night between
the two national campaigns.
