CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY, MAR. Is, 1900.
TO BANK ON WIND.

Our republican friends are having
troubles OF their own just now. Besides
two distinct violations OF the constitution
in the Porto Rico affair, the new currency
bill promises to initiate the paper curren'
cv of the country bevond the widest
dreams of the old time greenbacker. 10
be sure. some Of the ''loyal ANYHOW
neuspapers are engaged in an effort to
distract public attention from this feature
Of the 'sound money" bill by calling all
reference to it democratic statements,
Bryanite notions, etc. For instance the
Seattle post.Intelligencer Hippantly dis
poses Of the point thusi,:
can idiotc statement has been circu-
latiny in the democratic press that the
starters of Il bank could pay for their
bonds with circulation issued upon them,
and so begin busiress on wind. Comp
troller Dawes explains its imbecnity; but
it was worth printing because it accords
perfectly with Bryanite notions OF ii
nance
OF course it would be useless for the
HERALD to contradict this Northern Pa"
cific annex to the republican party OF the
state Of Washington, SO we are constrained
to quote unquestionable republican au-
thority to prove that the P.-l. statement
is either "idiotic" or worse. The New
York Evening Post, one OF the most
ing to say ON the subject:
ut was estimated today that anyone
with $50 600 capital could start national
bank under the new system. All that is
required is $4,000 in 2per cent govern
ment bonds, which could be secured at
ruling rates for about $26,750. These
representing the capital OF the bank could
be sent to Washington and circulation
for the full amount Of the capital imme-
diately taken out. The organizer Of the
bank then has only 1920 tied up in the
enterprise, but could take deposits in the
regular way. Whether the system can
be properly safeguarded under such re-
quirenents is not known, but the local
bankers are watching the experiment with
great interest and mole or less concern"
A. s
ing on wind that would have delighted
the soul OF Peter Cooper, we confess an
inability to name it. However, the issue
Of "idiocy" rests between the P.-I. and
the Post.

munition to continue the war in the event
that Spain failed to fulfill her obligations.
This Spain tailed to do, and the funds
were drawn upon by Aeuinaldo to provide
arms and ammunition to resume the fight
for liberty. After Admiral Dewey had
taken Aguinaldo to Manila in one of our
gunboats the Filipino general requested
L. S. Consul Wildman, at Hong Kong,
to forward him several thousand rifles
and ammunition to Manila, which he did,
and the same We're paid for out OF these
trust funds, which the lying imperialist
press declare Aguinaldo accepted from
the Spanish government AS bride to
"sell out his country" Ii the policy Of
imperialism and criminal aggression can
only be supported on lying, Islander and

early collapse. Let's have the truth and

Our Plain Duty.

When the question Of holding the Phil
ippine Islands first came up in 1898, the
Oregonian printed the following editorial,
which is to this day endorsed by all citi-
xeps Of this country who desire to see
Justice done and who have not been car
riela~ay by the false hut glowing pic
lures OF reckless commercial adventures.
The Oregonian said:
ALREADY We are in one OF the gravest
perils of war--the clainor Of territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The fever OF conquest
once IN the blood is n raging poison hard
to allay. We have no further rightful
use for the Philippines than as base OF
present operations and II hostage pending
final settlement. a coaling station let us
retain there, but cur professions in this
war debar us from retention of even
Cuba, which is more naturally within our
scope than the Philippines. II the war
is prolonged, We shall certainly see rapid
growth Of vehement demand for acquisi.
ton OF territory We should not take. 1t
NAV be strong enough to turn the scales
OF presidential election.
''Such an outcome would be in every
way to he regretted II we Go not want
Cuba, much less do we want the Philip
pines. There is doubt as to the unf'ness
for self;government charged against the
Cubans; but there is no doubt OF it as far
as the inhabitants OF the Philippines are
concerned All the arguments urged
against Hawaiian annexation by thought
full Americans are applicable with greater
force against these tropical Asiatic is
lands, and they are not met, as the Iia-
waian arguments are met. by the fact
that Hawaii is in our rightfu sphere Of
influence and essentially American. for
the Philippines are not. Our ends in
Cuba will be observed as they are in

will even suffice with Hawaii il annexa-
ton fails. But in the case OF the Philip
pines we have no such necessities on in
terests. European possession in Asia
concerns us nothing except that we have
fair trade facilities. We have there nc
purpose OF offence or defense. At the
most. a naval and coaliny station should
be the limit Of our desire there.

FUSION VS.. CONFUSION.

The reform forces are making a mistake
in attempting to maintain three or four
party organizations. What they want is
to get together under one banner We are
all going to vote for Mr.. Bryan anyway,
so what's the use in splitting hairs? This
quibbling over party names when the
platforms Of the reform parties are prac.
tically identical, is the blindest sort Of
bigotry, Let's get together in one organi.
cation and have one rousng, big state
convention and nominate our strongest
and best men. Declare for economy in
state affairs, make direc: legislation the
one issue, and the reform forces can carry
Washington by 10000 majority. Let it
be known as the democratic ticket, with
Bryan as our great leader, and victory is
certain.-Vancouver Register Democrat.
Fusion, in order to be OF any real value,
must begin at the primaries. The kind

years ago and in Seattle but recently, will

The Temporary stay of one E. o.
Wilcox among us and his mysterious
flight from us furnish an Inspiration
for story, the truth OF which Is
stranger than fiction. Now, Mr.. Will
cox's personality is just such as the
prologue of this story attempts feebly

from Chicago to work as travelling
salesman forSwift s. Co. IS beef market
eighteen months ago. He'was In and
out many months. stopping at the
hotels, but seven weeks ago he went
to room at Mrs. A. G. Fordyce's.
People were impressed with his Inn
posing and progressing personality,
but seemed no more SO than himself.
The idea seemed to be uppermost in
wilcox's mind that he was heart
smasher and real conqueror of the
fair sex Of all grades, conditions and
kinds. He rubbered and many femin-
inc neck ligaments were taxed when
he passed by. Almost before he knew
1t, Mr.. Wilcox became involved in
more than one affaire glamour, an
honorable extrlcation from which was
beyond the comprehension Of a man
OF auburn locks somewhat kinked. A
belle of the Four Hundred-pardon for
such stupendous magnifying Of the
number-telephoned him to come. He
answered their keeping company must
be on the square and not on the street
corner, or in other words at her home,
but in the same breath he told her it
was not she but her sister, who had
won the heat Of his heart. Then, he
broke away from girl he had shower

to find himself at sea in the heart

among the lovely aud charming bellies,
or (which Clarksburg can proudly say
she has few, were likely aroused In
church, as Mr.. Wilcox ATTENDED divine
services regularly, as well as most de-
youtly. Possibly, the pads that broad
ened those shoulders had something to
do with It, too They were smaller
though than Uncle Sans allbags.
A few business men sized him up as
all right and trusted him greatly, to
bis own delight looks and comfort.
But they, too, have experienced q
radical change ofopinion.
Mr.. Wilcox has gone hence. He
went between two days, or ati o'clock
Saturday morning, under the shades
Of darkness. All thought his hlghness

mate and his boss received notes on
their breakfast table. He expressed
regret to his land lady that business
called him away a few days, but said
never a word about the sl5 he owed

A HORSE Thief AT LARGE.
Young Ritche County Man Stole a team
and traded it off.

Detflln Mason, Of Pullman, Richie
county, recently out of the reform
school, appears to be one of the most
daring horse thieves in the current
history of this county. Monday Sept.
3. he hired two.horse team and a
wagon of the Salem liveryman, Joseph
Johnson, but instead OF returning
them to the owner he drove this way
and traded the horses, harness and
wagon to Mel Dodd, of Ocean Mines,
for mule and S15. The next day he
traded the mule back TO Dodd for a
watch.
Squire Riley issued warrant Mon
day for Mason's arrest, but to date he
has not been disturbed in his peaceful
abode at Pullman. The team, har-
ness and wagon were recovered by Of
ficer Boggess and restored to MT.
Johnson, and Dodd is in the soup
for $40 and a watch.
