APPLIES HERE TOO.
The ColfaX Commoner says:

The ColfaX COmmoner says:
The Gazette wants to know why
democratic papers commend Governor
Mcbride, if they believe that his de-
would benefit their party. A number
of democrats seem to be puzzled over
the same matter. The Commoner does
not presume to speak for other demo-
cratic papers, but is glad to explain its
own attitude.
The democratic party of this state
has for number Of years favored a
railroad commission. For the past four
years it has consistently advocated an
appointive railroad commission. The
bill introduced by Senator Tolman of
Spokane in the legislature of 1901 was
a party measure and embodied the
democratic views. At the last repub-
lican state convention the Tolman
bill was Endorsed. ard the republican
party pledged to support it, largely
through the efforts of Mcbride, who
had become governor through the death
of John r. Rogers. At the last session
of the legislature Senator Tolman
again introduced his bill and it re-
ceived the hearty support of Governor
Mcbride and his friends but was de-
feated by the republican majority in
the senate.
The Commoner believes in the Toll
man bill and wants to see it become a
law. The fact that the bill has been
Endorsed by a faction of the republi-
can party does not lessen it's value
nor its democracy. While this paper
would prefer to have the bill passed by
democratic legislature, it would re-

and to this section in particular A
man who deserts a policy simply be-
cause that policy is adopted by a rival
political party, puts partianship above
principle.
because he favors the railroad commits
sion plan in which the editor believes.
Democrats commend Mcbride because
he is supporting the railroad commits
sion policy which they have champion
ed and advocated. They commend
him for the same reason that repub-
licans commend Cleveland, because he
stands for policies which they favor.
Republican commentator of Cleveland
and democratic commentator of Nc
Bride have a common origin, but differ
in the fact that the democratic party
does not indorse the policies for ia
voring which Cleveland is commended
by republicans, while the republican
party has Endorsed the policy for ia
vOring which democrats commend Nc
Bride. In other words the republicans
speak kindly of Cleveland because he
is arrayed against the democratic
platform. while the democrats speak
kindly, of Mcbride because he stands
sQuarely on the railroad commission
plank of the republican platform.
Newspapers and men, who support
any policy which bears the label of
their political party and opposes any
policy which bears the label of rival
party, may not be able to comprehend
why The Commoner commends Nc
Bride for his anti-railroad stand, but
men who support principles and not
party names Will understand the at
titude of this and other democratic pa
pers of the state.

RUSSIA'S DISADVANTAGE.

Russia's greatest difficulty in prose-
cutting the war with Japan is the ne
cessity of depending upon single line
of rather poorly constructed and poor
ly equipped line of railway, running
for thousands of miles through
sparsely settled country. 1t is a good
deal as if the government at Wash
ington We're trying to carry on a war
on the Pacific coast with but one line
Francisco, and all the country be-
tween the Mississippi river and the
Pacific sparsely settled as it was thir-
ty-five years ago.
The destruction of the Russian fleet,
or at least of it's usefulness in Asiatic
waters, has made it impossible for
Russia to send relief by sea and leaves
no means of transportation from the
base of supplies for men and NUM-
tons and provisions except a long
line of inferior railway communication
so exposed to attack and destruction
through the wide stretches of wilder
ness as to render it extremely difficult
to maintain. The disadvantages under
which Russia is compelled to carry on
the war would seem to balance up
we'll against the preponderance of her
fighting strength.

RECIPROCITY ABANDONED.

John Dalzell, representative in con-
gress for one of the Pittsburg districts
and practically the leader of the re-
publicans in the house, shook the re-
ciprocity mask from his face the other
day and frankly declared that neither
he nor his party wants any of it, Ever
since Blaine rebuked the ultra-prO-
tectiOnists by declaring that the Nc
kinley bill wouldn't create market
for barrel Of flour or pork, the princI-
pie involved in the theory of recipro-
city has been a cardinal doctrine of the
republicans. The last speech of the
lamented Mckinley at Buffalo, was a
plea for it and every platform of the
ton Of his sentiment.
But Blaine and Mckinley are gone
surrendered to the tariff mongers in
f1uenced by covetOusness and greed
The reciprocity treaties negotiated
under the direction of Mckinley by a
distinguished republican statesman
Hon. John A. Kasscn of Iowa, and
for more than four years pending in
the senate committee. have been con-
stantly pointed to as proof of the anx-
iety OF ne party for Blaine's hobby
But the otter day Mr.. Dalzell ended
the matter in "One fell swoop." 1--WE
are opposed to all reciprocity he de-
clared, except on articles which do
not come into competition with pro-
ducts of this country" Probably he
would stand for reciprocity on sun
beams.
Another republican congressman
Mr.. Lowering, of Massachusetts, en-
tertains a different view Of the sub
ject according to statement he made
during the same debate. ITO stand
pat on tariff duties that hinder and
obstruct commerce." he observed lis
inf1icting great injury upon American
products which could be given a much
wider and more remunerative market
under other conditions" But it is the
Dalzells and not the Coverings who
are guiding the destiny of the repub-
lican party at present and the ruin
Gus policy will be maintained as long

on the s25OOOO bonded debt incurred
at the time of the purchase of the sys-
tenn from the Walla Walla Water Com
pany.
The city has reached the limit of
bonded indebtedness based on taxable
valuations as fixed by the last assess
ment However, it is expected that
the total valuation of city property
this year will be raised from about
SO, 100000 to approximately $4,0O0,OoO.
Under the five per cent limit rule the
increase of $500, 900 in the assessed, VAL
uation of city property will allow an
increase of $4,000 in the municipal

must be actual not prospective.

opinion from Gose & Gose, which was

nothing whatever by the purchase OF
half the Thomas ranch. AS owner of
the land in fee simple it would be just
as liable to damage suits from riparian
owners as under it's present title to all

If it is necessary to secure few acres
for reservoir site, the committee sug-
gests that this can be easily done
through condemnation proceedings.
The committee says nothing about
the retention or abandonment of the
spring water, leaving this question to
the Judgment of the city council. The
ford plan should be adopted to pre-
serve the old water supply and pre-
vent the throwing away of a s25O,O0O
investment.
The Weile Mill creek proposition for
which the city paid $500 is not dignified

committee evidently regarded it as an
scheme for getting a sup

A COMMON SENSE REPORT.

The report of the committee APP
pointed by the Commercial Club to in
Vestigate the development work at
Thomas springs and to find a solution
of the water problem for this city was
made to the club last night. 1t is a
strong, practical, common sense docu-
ment and Will commend itself to the
judgment of the city council and of
the citizens in general.
After thorough and conclusive tests
to determine the quantity of subter-
ranean water flowing in the city's
pipes at Thomas springs, the commit
tee found that the average flow will
not exceed five hundred thousand gal
Ions day, and they recommend that
WOrley's pipe lines, costing nearly
$4,000, be abandoned. 1t has been
demonstrated beyond doubt that
over half the water ordinarily flowing
bitches running through a barn yard
and a sheep corral not far from the
Us" and rs" cunningly used as in
takes. Such water would of course be
unfit to drink. as it would be prolific
source of typhoid fever and other
malades
The committee favors the Smith
Boyer plan of sinking wells and tun-
neling to develop an adequate flow of
Subetrranean water at a prObab BILE
depth of thirty to forty feet. Two
plans of bringing the water to the city
are suggested one is by the use of a
hfteen-mch pipe, pumps run by water
or electric power being proposed to
give sufficient force for fire protec-
ton. The other plan is the use of pipe
large enough to overcome friction and
give the city a natural gravity system
The committee is of the opinion that
the combined gravity and pumping
system would be the cheaper and more
satisfactory.
The cost of bringing the water to
the head of Boyer avenue or of East
Alder street is estimated at from
100000 TO $4,000, according to the
kind and size of the pipe used. This
estimate does not include the cost of
reservoir or of new distributing
mains III the city to take the place of
some of the old pipe that would not
be strong enough to resist the in
creased pressure.
1t is estimated that an adequate
reservoir would not cost above $4,000
and the cost of development work is
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000
The cost of preliminary development
work is also left out of this estimate
This could probably be paid for out OF
the current revenues of the presen,
water system before asking the people
to vote bond issue for the new svs-
TEN.
BY using wood stave pipe of the
fifteeninch size in connection with 9
pumping station it is safe to saw thai
the total cost of the new system woulG
not exceed $l25.O00. Bonds to this
amount could probably be raised or

Chatham county will raise between
400 and 500 bales Of cotton this season.
This is the opinion of those who have
seen the excellent condition of the
crop and who. further. being familiar
with the acreage planted are in posi-
ton 10 express an opinion.
The growth of cotton in this county
had been so small as to be of little if
any consideration until last year when
Mr.. T. $. Hayward Of the firm Of 4. S.
Hayward & Co. interested himself in
the matter and induced a number OF
land owners to engage in the industry.
About 200 acres were planted that sea-
son and the success Of the experiment
was sufficient to induce others to en-
gage in the business so that the acre
age this season has been almost quad
rupled.
Mr. Hayward says that the crop is
In excellent condition except that too
much rain has fallen recently. and
that the staple is somewhat spotted

May Be n Fight on the Race cues
ton in Committee.
Parkersburg, w. Va. Aug. 2.-The
preliminary work here to-day for the
Democratic State Convention to-mor-
row has shown that Henry G.. Davis.
the Democratic candidate for Vice
President, is in absolute control.
The Davis interest has brought
to the convention many old Democrats,
who have not been in attendance reg
ularly in recent years. Owing to the
fact that Mir. Davis up to tonight, has
refused to express preferences for the
candidates, the delegates are at sea re-
garding the ticket. Judge John H.
Holt is prominently mentioned for Gov
ernor.
The so-called white Supremacy
plank was marked out and again in
serted in the platform several times to-
night, and unless Senator Davis ex-
ercises his influence. there will be a
fight on the race question in the Com
mttee on Resolutions, and possibly in
the convention.
1t was thought that the address of
Senator Davis would be the feature of
the convention, but he tonight de-
cided that he would speak only on
state matters, and not discuss any ma
tional questions. He may not go into
the convention at all. He saws that
until he has been officially notified Of
his nomination. he feels that it would
not be appropriate for him to speak as
a candidate.
