Aguinaldo is again reported in the
north of the Island of Luzon, where
he is making every effort to concen-
trate his scattered and disorganized
followers. He doubtless stil takes
great comfort from the eulogiums of
such American candidates as Lyman,
Bryan and others. These leaders all
unite in declaring the Filipino rebel a
brave. honest and patriotic man and
worthy to be ranked with the great
martyrs of liberty. They pronounce
his cause a just and holy one, akin to
that Of the revolutionary fathers who
took up arms against the expressions
of King George. They tell the rebel
leader and the ignorant and treacher-
Gus mob he is seeking to rally that they
have only to hold out little longer,
when the votes of their sympathizsrs
in this country will put a stop to the
unrighteous warfare Mckinley is wag-
ing against them. and recall from their
country the men who are despoiling
them of their homes and seeking their
enslavement. These are doubtless the
opinions of the five hundred or so
bolomen and ladrones, who attacked
an American garrison endeavoring to
promote peace and industry in one of
the lower provinces the other day and
almost exterminated it. Candidate
Lyman would like to be placed in con-
troll of the public schools OF Clatsop
county so that he may have a chance
TO lecture our children and inculate
in their tender minds the truths as
to the Philippine contest and the cru
elites perpetrated by the monsters
whom the administration has employ
ed to go over there and commit mur-
der and rapine. Doubtless Candi-
dates Lyman and Bryan are entitled |
to their opinions as to the rightful- |
ness Of the Filipino uprising against
the men and officers of the American
army, who went to Manila to extrieate
Dewey from the predicament he was
left in by the defeat of the Spanish
navy and to protect the European res
idents of that city and their property
from the outrage and pillage Of the
'avages who surrounded it. Candidates

Endorsement to President Mckinley. not
only on the issues which were at the
front at the time of his nomination
four years ago, but in the wisdom
and exalted craftsmanship with which
he has dealt with the new and com.
plex problems OF great national con-
sequence which have since arisen"
Practically all the state conventions
which have been held have taken the
same ground.
New Jersey was formerly about as
reliably democratic as South Carolina
or Mississippi. In the Whig party's
days that state usually was carried by
the wings, but ever since the election
Of Taylor back in 1s4s It has been
democratic with scarcely a break un-
Ill few years ago. 1t was carried By
Pierce in 1852, by Buchanan in 1856 and
by the Douglas Breckenridge Bell fu-
sion in 1860. Only three states gave
their electoral votes to Mcclellan in
1864. and one of these was New Jersey.
II voted for Grant in 1872, because IL
thought he was less republican than
Greeley, whom the democrats lndorsed
that year. The only other time in
which 1t chose republican electors was
in 1895, but it has been carried by the
republicans so many times in state and
canvasses recently that I:
may be relied on to go strongly repub-
liean in 1900.
The harmony among the republicans
all over the country on all the issues
which will be up in the canvess this
year is Of vital consequence to the par

were predicting on account Of the ex-
Dansion and Puerto Rican questions

he states will be in line on all aues-
ions which will be mentioned in the
platform, or which will be discussed
anywhere on the stump. Union among
he republicans, Of course, means vic
ory. The only hope which even the
most visionary Of democrats had for
possible triumph for his side depend
ID on a feud among the republicans on
ome Of the issues which have come
0 the front in the past year or two.
This hope must now be dropped. There
will be greater unity in the party than

'ention Of that year are back in the

The water commission Is solely res
ponsible for the position Astoria now
finds herself in on the street, lighting
question. That body has possessed the
power for years, and has had all the
backing that could be desired in public
sentiment, TO have emancipated Astoria
from the clutches Of the monopoly that
has long oppressed the city. After
once proceeding so far as to have draw
ings and specifications prepared for
the additional machinery required to
utilize the water power now going to

is now taxed outrageously to pay for

drinks and otherwise uses-the COM

explanation and without any justifica-
tion in the law or public necessity of
the situation. sold out to the lighting
company and that monopoly now
threatens to leave the city in darkness
unless its attempted fresh extortions
are yielded to. The water commission
has had ample warning for weeks past
that the question Of public lighting
was going to arise in precisely the atti-
tude in which it has now been presented.
1t has been urged repeatedly through
the newspapers and by personal ap-
peals made by members of the city
council to be prepared for the emer-
gency which now confronts the city. |
The expense for putting in the new
system Of water works was enormous
ly increased by the additions made in
contemplation of an electric lighting /
plant. Water consumers are now pro- /
viding interest and sinking funds to
take care of the over issue Of bonds
made necessary for these unutilized i'm
provements. 1t that way the people
Of Astoria are actually being taxed
twice for the same object. They pay a
lighting tax in the water rates collect
ed and then are required to again put
up the extortionate charges demanded
by the private lighting monopoly, all
through the inaction or indifference Of
the water commission. This is. indeed
peculiar situation. 1t is one that
the people should not and will not toll
crate any longer No one questions
the high character and personal good
standing of the individual members of
the water commission, but it is Ger
tainly apparent that they are woefully
neglecting the important public inter-
ests committed to their charge. 1t they s
cannot afford to devote the time from
their private affairs to attend to the
public business they have voluntarily
undertaken, as honorable men and t
good citizens they should resign their
connection with the commission and let
others more energetic and public spir-
tied take the places they are occupying
to the city's great detrilnent.
