The Fusion Ticket.

There has been opportunity 10 study
the makeup OF the ticket nominated
by the fusion convention. and the only
conclusion to be reached In that as a
whole II represents very mediocre abli-
ity. For the most part. the candidates
are men with little or no experience In
public life, ard. chosen as they were
after the usual unseemly decker be-
tween three organizations. each anxi-
Gus for place. II is not surprising that
the selections are not the best that
could have been made.
AS for the governor, II is enough 70
say that his administration has not
met with the favor OF the parties which
placed him In power. and prior 10 the
convention he was distinctly repudiat-
ed by the voters In both the orgaulza-
lions 20 which he owed elevation 10 his
present position. Ills denomination did

How Business Men View II.

The Democrats endeavor 10 pose as
the representatives OF the poor men OF
the country largely on the strength of
the fact, which they freely recognize
and admit. that the great majority of
the business men Of the country, with
out regard to their original political
opinions, are heartily In accord with
the programme OF the Republican party
and with It's past legislative perform
ances. Because. argue the Democrats.
the business men and employers OF la
Dor In tho United states. TO very
great extent. are supporters Of the Re-
publican ticket In the present campaign.
the iaborIng men of the country should
oppose that ticket.
II will be rather difficult matter TO
persuade any intelligent wage Garner
into the belief that a national policy
which permits his employer to keep his
business running at a pront. which in
oreases the demand and the price for
his product. and which permits him TO
employ a larger number OF men at
higher wages than ever before is OF
necessity bad policy for the employees.
wage earners recognize with as much
elearness as any people in the commu-
nifty that. II times are bad for the EN-
ployers, they are bad for The employees.
When the bottom has dropped out OF
the market. when furnace fires are
drawn. and when the demand for goods
ceases. labor suffers as much or more
than The employers az labor.
Everyone admits that times are good
now. Everyone remembers that times
were bad four years ago. when times
were bad. employers and employees SUI
fered alike; now that times are good,
they are good for both workingmen ana
those who employ them. That the
great majority OF the business men OF
the country. whose prosperity is de-
pendent upon the maintenance of good
times, are anxious for a continuance OF
Republican control ~ the national gov
eminent Is due solely 70 the fact that
they recognise that Republican success
means good times: while q Demo
cratic victory az this time would mark
the commencement 81 period 81 de-
preston such as that from which the
country suffered under the last Dem
ocratie administration

and skilled observers ~ all conditions
which affect their business interests.

vince China that there is safety from
the land-grabbers only in the restora-
ton of authority and order through
the presence of the central government.
At the same time the state depart
ment has instructed It's representatives,
to favor the recognition OF Ii Hung
Chang as the only authorized repre-
sentative Of China for the peace nego-
tiations that are next in order. II there
is not to be permanent occupation, an
understanding must be reached at an
early day. No man can do so much to
promote this as Ii Hung Chang. He
understands the foreigner. He will do.
out Of his knowledge. what no other
Chinese could or would. And 1t mat
tiers little whether his representative
title is technically complete or not, IL
he can succeed in establishing modus
vivendi between China and the rest OF
the. world. This step is Of the gravest
moment: and Russia and the United
States have ranged themselves on the
side OF the preservation OF China's ma
tional existence and the peace Of the
world.
In addition to its positive merits, this
policy of the administration has a
negative and domestic virtue. 1t dis
poses at once and forever Of one OF the
meanest ISLANDERS Of the opposition. 1t
has been asserted with particularly
and emphasis by Democratic speakers.
from Mr.. Bryan down, that there was
a secret alliance between Great Brit
ain and the United States. The occa-
sion and the offence were so great that
we shall not soften words, but say
plainly that they were lying and knew
that they were lying. They said these
things to prejudice the ignorant voter;
relying on the friendship Of England
during the Spanish war and our re-
fusal to interfere In South Africa to
give them semblance OF truth. The
last step of the administration casts
this lie in their teeth.
In China the policy Of the United
States comedies with that Of Russia.
the inveterate foe Of Great Britain.
without hesitation and without con-
suitation. we have agreed to the same
course that Russia follows, because II
seems to us only Just and right. We
are no land-grabters and have no pur-
poses in China but those that we have
declared. And the bitterest criticism
OF our action and our attitude comes
from Great Britain; the country which
has a sharp appetite and has found
little satisfaction for 1t hitherto In
China. Neither friendship nor hatred
, directs our policy, neither love Of trade
nor hope OF conquest. but broad and
true Americanlsm; fidelity to human
rights, hatred of unnecessary war. and
the desire to see all peoples work out
for themselves the problem OF their
own destiny.

Last nights News asserts that the
Nicaragua canal scheme is not TO the
interest Of the Northern Paeifi- -'p'es."
We believe that nothing before the
present session Of congress. save only
the project for a 4O-foot channel at the
mouth Of the Columbia. would so great
ly benefit Astoria. The completion Of
the Nicaraguan canal means the end
OF the cineh Of the transcontinental
railroads in the management OF Pacific
coast commerce. 1t means that a large
portion Of the manufactures and pro-
ductions Of the Eastern states now
brought to this coast by rail will be
brought by steamer instead and that
our products will be returned in the
same vessels. 1t means that we shall
obtain the products Of the Eastern
states at a cheaper rate and get more
for our own. 1t means that the coast
cities win leap into prominence as COM
pared with ambitious inland ports"
The fight against the canal is insti-
gated by the railroads and is on a par
with the old time cry against machin-
cry for displacing labor.
