the rebel leaders promised to redeem
at twice face value after the fall OF
Canton, were being issued, proclama-
tons posted, and everything was car
ried out in form. Most of the arms
used are French quick-firing rifles

In these days penmanship is not

The death OF this noted citizen has
caused very sincere regret all over the
state of Oregon, and not the least in
Astoria, where he had many devoted
friends who have known and appre-
ciated him Tor Years past, He was one
Of the real political leaders ot the
Republican interests in the northwest
and at one time practically directed
the policies OF the party here. He
was virile. strenuous. self-reliant
man with big faith in the future Of
Oregon and the impulse and courage
to assist in the accomplishment of that
destiny That he did contribute
largely TO the growth and development
Of the state no one with a knowl-
edge Of history Of the past score OF
years will deny for moment He
died in his prime, and his loss is to
be regretted in more ways than one;
and the Astorian. along with the hosts
Of oregon Republicans who knew him
well, realize the utmost Of this sad
and sudden ending Of useful and
honored career

GENERALIZATION.

For want Of something to hurl at
Theodore Roosevelt and disparage his
past and cripple his future, the enc
mics Of his administration are en-
deavoring 10 fix upon him the charge
of warping the federal powers to the
point of Capitalization and focusing
the sway Of the government to lines
unauthorized by the constitution. The
trick win not work. The people know
to dot all they have had to bear
from the dominance Of great and pow
erful combinations in every avenue Of
human supply and they know that for
the first time in scores Of years the
law Of precedent has been thrust aside
and the law itself exercised in its
fullness and purity. for the common
good.
The President is doing what his
predecessors failed to do, that is all.
And the hearts and hands of the COM
monalty are with him and behind him
in his courageous course Of convic-
ton and correction. He is simply try
ing to put the government in such
position that it may assert the su-
premacy Of the people against the plu
tocratic kings of commerce, and pre-
serve the rights Of both. No man in
his position has had the nerve to un-
dertake such revolution and the COM
mon knowledge of his pluck and sue
cess has become his most powerful
endorsement and his invincible ally in
the war Of righteous regulation.
Roosevelt is no autocrat and would
be the first to fight the dangerous as
sumption Of illegal authority, let alone
its expression for cumulative pur-
poses. He may not succeed himself
in the great post, but while he is
there, he will be President Of the
United States, and every atom of law
at his command will be invoked for
the doing of the right thing and the
undoing of the wrong. The people in
general did not know how much law
there was on their side of the immense
questions confronting them, until this
man called it into forceful effect, and
they glory in his will and wisdom to
apply it as he has.
