Monument for Goebei.

The remains of the late State Senator
Goebel have been lying in state in his
old home In Covington. Kentucky. and
the unmistakable sorrow evinced by
thousands who have gone there to view
them shows beyond all question that he
was a favorite hero with a great ele-
ment among the people of that state.
The whole attitude of the Democratic
party towards him demonstrates that he

sentative OF the party as 1t exists in

ter and ideals of a people can be judged
by the popular heroes whom they have
selected to be eommemorated In such

The New Philippine Commission,

The appointment of Judge Taft. Of
Cincinnati, as president OF the new
Philippine commission ought TO bring
comfort to the timid souls who profess a
fear that the future government of the
island possessions may fall into the
hands of the spoilsmen. and that the
first experiment in governing a distant
people of alien race is necessarily and
for that reason doomed to failure.
The president has exhibited rare good
Judgment in the choice of members of
the Philippine commissions. The first.
designed primarily to investigate thor
oughly and TO study the whole question
I'm all its various phases presented by
the acquisition of the Philippines, was
certainly composed of the ablest and
best qualified men for the particular
task in hand to be found within the
United States who were willing to un-
dertake the work. Their comprehensive.
broad and statesmanlike report is now
before congress; and this portion of the
task is ended
The new Philippine commission takes
up the next work in hand, the establish
rnent OF a system of civil government
adapted to the needs OF the people OF
the islands. The president has selected
to lead IT a man Of the highest standing
in the profession of the law, Of judicial
training and temperament, Of the finest
personal character and still in his early
prime. He surrenders one OF the great
prizes Of his profession, United States
circuit judgeship, with life tenure OF
office, for the purpose of devoting his
fine abilities TO the work of creating
new and fitting government for the in
habitants Of the Philippines.
The consistent course of the president.
thus far, in selecting none but men OF
the highest character and ability to
deal with the Philippine question IL
sufficient guarantee that during his ad-
mlnistratlon there is no danger of this
great work OF civilization ever falling
into the hands Of the spoilsmen. The
best men that the country affords will
be chosen for 1t. so far as they can be
induced to make the sacrifice which IL
necessarily involves for men Of this
stomp to abandon their present work
and devote the best years Of their lives
to arduous labors in tropical climate.
The fact that Judge Taft has made such
sacrifice as this indicates that such
men can be found and Is a happy au
curry OF permanent success in the new
field.

FOR A LITTLE THING LIKE THAT
Reasons why Clark, the Reformer.
should Keep His Seat.

1dklr1A IttnubuC.
The indications are that IL VIII be
shown that Mr. Clark, of Montana, pur-
chased his seat in the United States sem
ate, but Notwithstanding. he may be per-
mitted to keep 1t. Mr.. Clark is a noble
and high minded philanthropist in pri-
vate life, being a millionaire, and there
fore able to indulge in the luxuries. In
political life he is a sincere and virtuous
reformer. dence he advocates Bryan 3
scheme OF financial reform. He bought a
seat in the senate in order TO be where he
could do the cause of reform the most
good, and in order TO help needy reform
ers in the Montana legislature to realize
by personal experience what Bryan means
when he talks OF financial indepen-
dence" Senator Clark Is an able man
and a true reformer. and IL we had more
men like him in the senate things would
be different. We hope he will not be fired
out of the senate for little inadvertence
like buying a seat. But If he is, all will
not be lost. We can still tie up to Hon.
George Turner, of Washington, a man Of
gigantic intellect, a true blue reformer.
and statesman who can give Mr.. Clark
valuable pointers on the art of purchas-
ing reformers in time OF need.

This paper must be excused for calling
attention to the mouthings of Land Com
missioner Bridges and his meaningless i'm
perialism in the Republican papers of the
state. His readers would suppose from lofty
assertions that he is the whole thing In
the Peoples party and the only one that
knows the true interests of the country.
His declaration that he would support nc
expansionist for official position shows
Bridges to be OF small mental caliber and
just about as large as man generally
grows to be who can say he left mon
archy to seek a home in n free republic
at 10 or IL years of age. Just such pulled
up accidents as Bridges, who swells like
a toad fed on shot and then loses all con-
troll of himself under the load, are the
fellows who are destroying the influence OF
the reform party in this state and will
likely cause its defeat. unless they be
curbed. Think OF such a Lfllipute saving

EXPECT OF FUSION IN OREGON.
Disorga izntion of Democracy Has
Been Complete.

Salem, Or, Sentinel
The time has come when there IS nothing
left for Democrats to do but effect party
organization In truth the party should
never become disorganized. No good has
been accomplished from the fusion move
ment; not a single point has been gained,
and today the Democratic party OF oregon
is in a shattered condition. merely because
it has been led astray by the howery words
and sweet-scented promises of the boss. y
There have been three parties or factions
In this state, all fighting for practically the
same end, and still each pulling in diff
ferent direction. The factions we ailude
to are, of course the Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans. While we have
only the warmest feeling for all these peo-
pie, believing them TO be for the greater
part sincere in their fight for better con-
ditions, the means for bringing about good
results have been lost sight OF in an en-
thusiastic desire 10 reach the desired end.
All must recognize the fact that no good
can be accomplished, no beneficial results
brought about unless there is an organiza-
ton hack OF every movement in this direc-
ton strong enough to make its influence
felt.
The Democratic party is in the fight to
stay; II Will live as long as the nation
lives. The same cannot be said OF the
Populists and Silver Republicans: they, as
organizations. win become dissolved. and
merge into one of the other parties.
We have nothing to lose by organization
and everything to gain. By following this
course we shall at least win the respect
of all honest men, which is worth great
deal

Look Out for an African.

Clean streets are much to be desired.
and Seattle may profitably improve in
that direction; but the council should
view with suspicion and investigate
with care the proposition on the part of
any private interest topiace at the street
corners receptacles suitable for waste
paper and the other stray refuse that
gives our highways disreputable ap-
pearance. We do not know how it may
be here, but we do know that in other
cities this proposition has emanated
from self-interest. and has contem-
plated further Disagreement rather than
Improvement OF the streets.
In the first place. the remedy Is OBJ
viously inadequate to the evil. There is
sufficient power already lodged with
the authorities to put an end to the lit
tering of our streets with odds and
ends. 1t is no business Of the city or of
anybody else to provide for the trash
that Is now swept or thrown upon the
laughabie to suppose that people who
do this now, In defiance Of regulation.
would make a bundle OF the stun and
walk to the nearest corner in order to
put 1t out Of sight and memory. 1t
would be exactly as much trouble to
compel them to do that az 1t is to force
them now to dispose in a proper manner
OF store refuse.
In the next place, the scheme mooted
has been used elsewhere for money
making purposes. TO the intense disgust
Of the public. 1t Is at least possible
that this Is the intention here, since
no individual or company Is likely
to erect these boxes at its own expense
from an impulse of generous philan-
thropy. In other cities these huge con-
ners and used as biilboards, the agree
ment with the authorities carrying this
privilege in consideration of an alleged
public benefit The net results are, first
that the condition of the streets re-
mains precisely as 1t was before; second
that the eye is offended and the streets
are defaced by the appearance at street
corners OF big tanks covered with
placards announcing the remedial quail
tiles of truss or a pill. and the advis-
ability OF buying your goods of such and
such a favored dealer: and third. large
revenue from these notices to the own
Ing gain to the people. We advise the
people and the council to keep an eye
on this scheme which has not a redeem
ing feature to commend It TO their APP
rroval.
