Great Wall Gave Way.

The crisis came shortly after ii o'clock,
then suddenly, with report like the roar
of the ocean, the great wedge, 20 feet
high, 500 feet wide and about eight feat
thick, rolled out Of the center section OF
the dam, down the face of the 6O-foot
fall, deep into the river below. This left
a hanging gap in the very middle of the
dam, through which the debris and water
fsrcely poured, while the flood already
raging was threatening everything in its

Waco, Texas, April 9.--Reports of loss

POLITICAL AFTERMATH.

The candidates hot air and glad nit
are now somewhat conspicuous for their
absence.
Some of the voters who have been hav-
ing a steaming time OF it during the past
month or two will now have to lay in a
supply of wood and coal. The era of
of free drinks has passed and bodily
warmth will from now on cost money.
A number of new hats are conspicuous
at this time OF the year but democratic
money has evidently paid for most OF
them.
The day after election the deft use of a
pin on the person of DR.. Hill would
have undoubtedly caused an explosion
the results of which would be appalling
to contemplate
The sheep men were worked to the
queens taste. They contributed the
major part OF the money which was
used by the republican campaign COM
mittee of Yakima county. Party leaders
do not hesitate to say since the election
that the indications are that the forestry
reserves will be closed to the sheep next
season.
No dispatches have as yet been re-
cieved from the Philippine Islands that
Agunaldo and his army have given up
tie fight for liberty
Mckinley has had little to say in this
campaign but the probabilities are that
after the fourth Of March if Teddy
Roosevelt tries to be ringmaster, clown
and animal tanner in the National circus
he will be called down good and hard.

GERMAN INTERFERENCE.
Effort to Duild Railroad Through n
Chinese Province Baked Until
Concessions Are Made.

United States Consul Fowler, at Chez
foo, has informed the state department
of the action of the Chinese govern
ment on the petition of DIR. Iungwing
for permission TO construct railroad
from Tientsin to Shanghai, through the
whole length of the province OF Shan
tung. 1t appears that the petition was
granted by the emperor, but was subse-
quently reconsdered and the permits
sion withdrawn, upon representa-, ions
made by the German minister that his
government had the sole right to all
commercial enterprises in Shantung.
DR.. iungwing has had a long and hon
orable career in New England, and is
understood to represent an American
syndicate in the proposed railroad en-
terprise in China.
According to one of the Chinese pa
pers, DR.. Yungwing proposed that he
should obtain the aid of American cap
italists and engineers to carry out the
undertaking, and the German minister
said that Germany had obtained the
sole right to invest capital and supply
engineers for railroad construction in
every part OF the province Of Shantung.
and stienuously opposed the scheme
proposed by DR.. Iungwing. The lat
ter therefore altered his scheme SO as
to provide that The proposed scheme
should not clash with the interests of
the line which the Germans say they
are going to build from kiao-Chou to
Ichow, with which alteration the Ger
man minister professed himself salts
fed.

THE ELECTION.

The voters Of the country have ex-
pressed their wish for four years more of
republican administration of the ma
tional government This was not due to
any especial admiration for Mckinley (;
nor was it due to feeling that the
trusts were good thing for the country ;
nor that our policy in Porto Rico was
not open to censure; nor that the buy
ing of the Philippines and making war
upon our native allies was worthy of Il
nation of liberty lovers nor that the gov
eminent had not truckled to the money
power and conferred special privileges
upon the few at the expense of the many,
but to the fear that was created that a
change OF administration would mean
such rabid change of financial policy
that the commercial interests of the
country would be upset and panic result.
This was skillfully and effectively worked
and more than anything else brought
about the result at the ballot box. The
returns at this time are SO meagre that
it is impossible to tell how congress will
stand but the indications are that the
lower house will be democratic
In this state Rogers is probably re-
elected but not by majority sufficient to
carry through the balance Of the state
ticket. This is one of the highest COM
plimentS ever paid to Il man for it means
tchange OF from seven to ten thous-
and votes from the totals polled on the
national tickets. 1t is not only glow
ing endorsement OF Mr.. Rogers and his
administration but is direct slap at
Wilson, McGraw. Frink and the polti-
cal methods pursued by them.
The voters have demonstrated conclu-
sivelv that Yakima is Il republican
county by a safe majority although sew
eral of the candidates on the republican
ticket pulled through on small margins.
The two county tickets were good ones.
The present officers have, in the main,
made excellent records and there were
no valid reasons for change. OF course
party and personal feelings cut consider
able figure with many OF the voters but
THE HERALD in justice must say that
the administration of county affairs
has been open to little censure.

separable from the post-office. Very
truly yours, MCKINLEY.

THE HERALD's temperate course dur
ing the late political contest has been
favorably commented upon by its read
ers of both parties. 1t has been clean
throughout and the only thing it could
not stand with good grace was the turn
coats who swung.from the democratic to
the republican side not from principle
but through loss of nomination for office
either for themselves or their personal
friends. These people will have no
standing anywhere after the calmness
of judgment takes the place of the fire
of campaign prejudice.

the election OF Mr.. Rogers by majority
OF about 1900 Republicans claim the
figures as incorrect as to Spokane county
but the difference there would not
change the result conceding everything
claimed. The Ledger credits Frink
with 225 majority in Yakima while the
latest returns show that he is only
about 160 ahead of Rogers. The Post
Intelligencer says the result is close and
will require the official count to deter
mine the result, but admits that Rogers
is ahead on the face of the returns.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

President Mckinley wants the
United States to keep on fgb ting the
Filipinos for the sake of the brown
man. 1t is our holy duty towards
those misguided people, he thinks, to
kill them off until those who are left
agree TO accept civilization and happi-
uess. Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand,
prefers to regard the welfare of the
American people rather than tnat of
the Filipinos. "You tell me-" he says.
that q man who lifts his voice against
the doctrine of imperialism is plead
ing the cause of the Filipino. l tell
you he is p:eading the cause of 1000
900 of American citizens. Aye, he is
championing the rights Of the strug-
Cling masses of the word, who look
to America for example"
In theory, perhaps, the Mex nley
idea may be the more lofty, il we could
be lieve in its sincerity; but Mr.. Bryan's
idea is surely the more patriotic as
we'll as the more practicable.
IF every Filipino" says Mr.. Bryan,
"were to die the world would go on,
but if this nation, the greatest Re-
public OF the worlds history, puts out
it's light, if this republic turns its back
to the doctrines which we loved a cen
tury and a quarter ago then to what
nation of the world can the people
.ook for hope and inspiration ?"
The paramount issue in this cam
paign is the preservation of our own
republic, which is worth more than
all Aisle TO the cause of mankind.

Why VALENTINE WILL VOTE FOR
BRIAN.

John L. Valentine, president OF the
Wells Fargo express company, has
written signed statement in which
he says he will vote for Bryan be-
cause he fears for the union II McKin-
ley is reelected, and that he believes
the chief executive and party are we'd
ded 10 the policy Of imperialism and
and miitarism. He said:
"It is possible to state, without the
slightest qualification or equivocat'oR.
that the fixed aim and purpose OF the
national administration respecting the
Philippine islands is,s and without
dou bt will continue to be,to retain the
great Asiatic archipelago as a perma-
nent acquisition TO the United States.
Since the Republican national con-
vention Mckinley has delivered az ad-
dress of acceptance in which he says;
The Philippines are ours and there
will be no abatement of our rights, no
policy TO scuttle,' etc.
"Bry an is not demagogue. He is
absolutely honest, which demsgogue
is not; he is passionately sincere,
which n demagogue is not. Mckinley
is kind of syndicate, but Bryan is
Bryan and Bryan is his prophet. More
power for good or evil rests under
Bryan's black slouch hat than under
any other single headpiece in Ameri-
ca. Upon the question of imperialism
l knew his record and position TO be
consistent and fearless, and prefer a
man who is himself TO one who is a
kind of syndicate Therefore for bet
ter or for worse, l shall vote for
Bryan"

now OKLAHOMA RBPUBLICANISM IS
SITUATED.


While the Democrats Of Oklahoma
will not spare any efforts in making
a campaign Of education this fall, 1t is
gratifying TO know that they will be
materially aided by the Republicans.
For instance:
Republicanism is divided.
A territorial delegate openly fights a
territorial goverror.
The Repu blican party refuses to en-
dorse its own legislature, which the
Democracy has condemned.
The Repu blican party refuses to en-
dorse the federal administration which
Democracy has condemned.
The Republican party refuses to en-
dorse the territorial administration
which Democracy has condemned.
The Republican party refuses to
specifically endorse Mckinley who is
being emphatically condemned by
Democracy.
The question is raised as to just
what constitutes the Republican party
of Oklahoma.
All sorts of theories are held.
Now the LEADER has repeatedly
shown that:
Governor Barnes and his admins
tration are as much the direct creation
Of the people as the delegate to con,
gress.
The Repu blican party in condemn
ing Barnes condemns itself,
The majority of the last legislature
was Republican.
1t was the direct result of the Re.
publican party.
Therefore, the Repu blican party is
responsible for that Legislature. The
component parts of the syllogism are
found in that proposltion-the major
premise; the minor premise and the
conclusion.
In condemning the legislature the
Republican party condemned itself.
The Democracy has accepted the Re-
publican partys candid estimate of
the Republican party.
Republican orators and papers may
prate and dissemble but they cannot
get away from or deny the PROPOSE
tions in reference to Republican in
competency as put forth by the Demo
Gratis.

WHY, INDEED 4?

The Times-J ournal uses queer logic.
1t says:
The Barnes question is no longer an
issue in the Repu ublicau party. The
party has spoken twice and finally
upon the subject There is not a
Barnes faction in the party. The
party is harmonious. Barnes cannot
create faction without support from
his own party. and that he cannot get.
So far as political advantage is con-
cerned he is welcome TO the united
support of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party of the territory.
II Barnes is no longer an issue why
do the Flynn Republicans continue to
stab Barnes ? If there be no Barnes
faction, then why should Flynn go
before a committee requesting that
Barnes be ignored in resolutions? If
the party is harmonious, why all this
knitting, backcapping, double dealing,
treachery, chicanery, distrust and tur
moil in Republican ranks?
