of Concord, Mass, was one OF the feat-

listened to.
He said in part: zone OF the greatest
difficulties in caring for state charges, as
a class, is in its lack of permanence. The
result of the change in our Massachusetts,
laws is TO make more valuable class

WE WILL HOLD THE PHILIPPINES.
Philadelphia press-This is the verdict
of the first state on the Pacific Coast to
vote on the question of expansion. The
issue was made as direct and clear as it
was possible to make it. The republican
platform declared iii emphatic terms for
the retention of the Philippine Islands,
and the republican campaign was con-
Quoted mainly ON this issue. The Port
land Oregonian, the leading republican
newspaper of the state, declared that the
voters of Oregon could not escape the
responsibility of declaring for or against
expansion that democratic victory
would be interpreted as favorable to
surrender of the Philippines, and that
Republican victory would be interpreted
as favorable to their retention. This as
pect Of the election was made prominent
all through the campaign, and with this
issue before them the voters decided III
favor of the republican party. The re-
suit of the first contested state election
of the year is an expansion victory. It's
emphasis will not fail to impress the
country. 1t shows that the policy OF the
National Administration will receive as
hearty Endorsement on the Pacific Coast
in November as it will in the rest of the
country

BRYANISM REPUDIATED.

Baltimore American-Oregon has fired
the first gun of the campaign. Bryanisn
was as likely to appeal to the people OF
Oregon as to the people of any other
Western State, but they have repndiated
it by majority four times as large as
that given for Mckinley i'll 1896. The
Oregonians are not only satisfied with
things as they are, but refuse to have
anything to do with empiricism in politics
or government. 1t is easy to imagine
majorities and figure out success when
there is nothing to indicate the popular
drift In the face of an election like that
in Oregon, such figures become nnproht-
able and tasteless.

VICTORY FOR EXPANSlONISTS

sion and Prosper.
ity.

WASHINGToN, June 6.-The great vic
tory in Oregon attracts attention III the
East The papers comment upon it at
length. Here are portions of some Of
the editorials:
New York Tribune-The sweeping gold
standard, expansion victory in Oregon is
one to make the Bryan managers pause
1t does not promise we'll for the success
of their favorite battle cries. 1t rather
shows that the people, over whom Bryan
ism had great influence four years ago,
have lost faith in the nostrums OF the
Chicago platform. One of the issues
which played "a prominent part i'll the
campaign was expansion, and the eln-
phatic Endorsement of the republican
policy ofdealing with our new possessions
foretells the disappointment of those who
are looking for great reaction at the call
of Mr. Bryan, and demand from the
American people that we give up the task
forced upon us by the results of the
Spanish War The Northwest certainly
will not respond to the appeals of the
anti-expansionists. The republicans
boldly made their campaign for the gold
standard. When in the old strongholds
of silver the gold party can win such vic
tory, il is not to be believed that people
in the East, who have all along been firm
in their devotion to sound business prin-
ciples and insisted upon holding them,
will be less responsive to that issue. If
Oregon can be carried for gold, there
ought to be no shadow of chance of
Bryan making headway in any Eastern
| state.
HONEST MONEY AND EXPANSION.
New York Sun-Oregon is the second
important state to express itself OF the
presidential campaign of 1900, and it de
clares for the republican policy of homes;
money and expansion. Bryan opened

cannot separate the results from his own
individual prospects. This Spring the
