The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-04-15

The Oregonian's captious and un-
reasonable war on the administration
reaches the extreme Of absurdity when
that paper points to q resolution con-
demning the Puerto Rican tariff which
was rejected by the committee on res
olutions at the late republican con-
vention as evidence Of the opposition
of the convention to the presidents
policy. If there had been a ghost OF
show of passing such resolution some
one of the Oregonian's representatives
on the floor Of the convention would
have offered the resolution as an
amendment to the committees report.
The repudiated resolution was the
same as that offered and voted down
at the McMinnville district conven-
tiOn. If suggested at Portland the
resolution would have met with even
a more decisive defeat than at Nc
Minnville 1t was cowardly in the
Portland meeting not to have adopted
a resolution affirmatively and partic-
ularly endorsing the Puerto Rican pol
icy Of the administration, but the
failure to do so was not owing to the
adverse sentiment OF Oregon republi-
cans on that question. 1t was due en-
tirely to the fact that such action
would have been treated by the Ore
gonian as an attack on its policy and
made an excuse for unseemly discus
sion. The aim at Portland was to rec
oncile internal differences as far as pos
sible and it was entirely due to this
well-understood and reciprocated spirit
that neither the Oregonian's Iasolu-
ton nor one more specifically endorsing
the acts Of the president was introduced
at the convention. The Oregonian
must know this as well as any delegate
In attendance at the convention. II
is not fair to hold out any idea to the
contrary 70 readers in or out Of the
state who know nothing Of the doing:
Of the convention except what they
read in the oregonian.

THE RIDIcULoUsNEss OF 1T.
present.

There is something very pathetic in
the sacrifice OF his same by Admiral
Dewey.
He was idolized. as a victorious na-
val officer. What strange madness
swelled his head with aspirations for
the presidency sufficiently strong to
prompt him to come before the people,
unlimited, as a candidate for nomina-
tion?
What stranger madness is shown in
the glimpses we get Of his own esti-
mate of the qualities required in a
presidential candidate!
Platform? The American flag he
says.
He points with pride to his having
executed the orders of the government
as an admiral, and says, with compla-
cency. that as president he could
and would fearlessly carry out what
the congress told him to.
And this platform (?) and his abil-
ity to execute the orders Of the con-
gress are all, so far, that Admiral
Dewey submits in justification Of an
appeal for a presidential nomination.
An old fashioned figurehead, OF large
spectacular proportions, would best
typify Admiral Dewey's relation to the
office OF president, IL by any chance
he should be nominated and elected.
It. would delight brother-in-law Nc
Lean and hundreds more Of big and
little democratic leaders in the various
states Of the Union to shape a policy
for him, and tell him what to do from
start to finish. but the people want
no such president as that.
Bryan will be in all probability the
democratic candidate for the presiden-
cy, and doomed to certain defeat,
but II the democratic party chooses Ad-
miral Dewey, with his obviously limit
ed qualifications, for the office, 1t will
only be matter of additional empha-
sis in the defeat.

William E. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record, has this to say Of the sensa-
tion Representative briggs recently
sought TO make of the fittings OF the
transport Sumner:
Last year the democrats were de-
nouncing the war department because
the ships that were carrying the SOL
diers between this country anu our new
possessions were unfit for human
transportation; now they are denounc-
ing the war department because the
ships are too good, and they claim
that too much money has been spent
in providing comfort and convenience
for the long voyage to the Philippines,
which shows how difficult 1t is to
please politician when he is looking
for something to complain Of. 1t is
probably true, at least We may hope
so. that the transports now employed
by the quartermasters' department OF
our army are the finest and safest
in the world, and no money has been
spared to make the soldiers as con-
tented and as comfortable as posi-
sible.

The Portland Telegram perceives a
rebuke to the administration In the Sc
lection Of Senator Simon to lead" as
1t says. the Oregon delegation at the
Philadelphia convention. while Senator
Mcbride. who supported the Puerto
Rican tariff. was not so honored.
Since Senator Simon was named as
delegate at a meeting Of the same
congressional convention in his dis
trict that renominated Mr.. Moody for
congress, after that gentlemen had
twice voted for the Puerto Rican tar
IN, against Senator McBride's single
vote for that measure-and that in
its amended form-it is difficult to see
where the Telegram finds warrant for
its construction Of Senator Slmon's
election as proof OF hostility of Ore
gon republicans to the administration.
Furthermore. since Senator Simon
goes as a delegate from side conven-
tiOn. instead of as a member of the
main delegation from the state meet
ing, 1t is also hard to see where his
leadership Of that delegation comes in.
And since again. through Mr.. Fulton's
forethought. the state meeting saw ft to
pay President Mckinley the high and
unusual compliment OF instructing the
Oregon delegation to vote for his re-
nomination. it makes little difference
what Senator Simon's views on the
Puerto Rican tariff or the general pol
Icy of the administration may be, 50
far as his actions or vote at the Phil
adelphia convention can be concerned.

ever, that the total viii be nearer
eighty than seventy millions, for the
surplus for March was s16,55O, 900, show
ing that for the latter part of the fis-
cal year the average monthly surplus
is to be greater than it was for the
first half Of the year. With a prospec-
tive surplus of over seventy millions,

penditures, but hiehy to increasing

imports of raw materials for the use
of our own manufactures as well as
Of luxuries, the purchasing power Of

evident that the war revenue taxes
