GOOD BUNCH ELECTED
Continued from first page)

remedied by the appointment OF
Engineer Edwards and the i'm
provement Of streets has been
pushed as rapidly as desired.
II they had never accomplished
anything during their term Of Office
except to secure the site and
erection of the city dock and the
completion as they have done OF
the city hall, and the purchase OF
the rock quarry and stone crusher,
these three items would stand as a
monument which would forever
mark their term of Office as one OF
the most successful in the history
OF the city to date.
There are many other achieve
ments which may be placed to
their credit which on the spur Of
the moment do not come to us,
aud much OF their work was done
before we had the privilege of call
ing ST. Johns our home, which we
know but little of. Enough is
known, however, that we can cher
ish the sentiment for them expressed
by the poet when he said that only
the good that men do lives after
them, the evil deeds are inferred
with their bones.
There are other things we might
say such as requiescat ell pace, lie
roy est mort, vive le roy, hoch der
kaiser, etc. but we refrain. We
have for the incoming officers the
very best of feeling aud so long as
they work for the best interests of
the city we pledge them the undi
vided, hearty support OF the Re
view, and when we think they are
wrong, will in the kindliest spirit
make our criticism and give them
in return the free use of our col
umns TO show us our error II our
Judgment is of.
Let us all remember that we are
working together for the common
good of the entire community, not
for the good OF one or two members
or for the special good of a single
class. We do not take up each
individual member of the new coun-
ell and speak of his virtues because
every one of them is better known
to every resident here than to our
selves, but we do not hesitate to
say they are all good men and will
give us a good account of them
selves during the coming year,

st. Johns Defeats Wabash.

In the second exhibition game OF
the season the ST. Johns Apostles
Of the Tn-City league vanquished
the classy Wabash Independent
team Of Portland by a score of 6 to
S. The game was rather ragged
at times but was characterized by
snappy fielding aud timely hitting.
st. Johns rang up two scores In the
opening chapter and Wabash came
into the gong ringing in the second
canto. Wakefield occupied the
pitchers box for the locals for the
first three innings and ozoned six
batters and allowed no hits. An
derson, who used to fling for Wa.
bash, but who Is now the property
of ST. Johns, had the mystic sign
on his old team mates and famed
twelve men. Nellie for the visitors
pitched in a creditable manner.
Wabash got acquainted with An.
derson's delivery In the closing
innings and bombarded his offer.
ings. Shaiier's hit was OF the sky
seraper variety and dropped just
inside the fence and the fans felt
relieved. The scorer rang up
three runs for Wabash and the
Independent third sacker was q
hero in the minds Of Portland en-
thusiasts. Fleming, Brown and
Moore played brilliantly for the
Apostles at their stations in the
field, while "Streak" Mcbride,
Schaiier and Adams carried the
honors for the visitors. Pembroke
caught a reliable game aud would
look good in a league uniform. A
cold wind swept over the field but
three hundred fans remained to see
the excellent card that was pre-
sented by the management.

Our Candidates.

This is the last shot we have
before the primary election and we
wish to call the attention Of our
readers to the candidates whose
notices we have printed IN the
Review. +. +. Erickson, whose
war cry Is a deputy coroner for the
East Side claims the attention of
every voter Of that populous dis
trict. Mr.. Erickson, candidate for
coroner, comes to us very warmly
commended by numerous residents
of that section and we have no
doubt that he would make most
satisfactory coroner.
On the same page will be found
the advertisement Of ]. c. Sill, for
coroner. Mr.. Sill's slogan Is "a
public morgue separate from an
undertaking establishment" This
he proposes to establish II elected.
He is also an East Side man.
Either of these gentlemen will give,
we think, first class service to the
people.
Our candidate for representative.
X. c. Couch. Is known to every
man, woman, girl and boy In St.
Johns. We need say nothing about
him except that we do not believe
there is a man In st. Johns who
will not vote for Mr.. Conch. He
Is eminently fitted for the position
aud II elected will surely make a
good record for himself. He will
stand by statement No. without
any frills aud will vote for the
choice Of the people.
Again we wish to call attention
to the claims Of ID. B. Sigler upon
the people Of Multnomah county
for reelection. II ever there was
public officer who deserved to
succeed himself, Mr.. Sigler Is the
man. Just take look at the
achievements Of the man during
his present term Of Office. He is
the only assessor who has COM
PEELED the corporations to pay a
just proportion Of their taxes.
Heretofore this class Of property
holders have been practically
exempt from taxes. have taken
millions out of the country, receiv-
ing the same protection to person
and property that other property
holders have and paid practically
nothing for the service. To Mr..
Sigler belongs the credit Of revolu-
tionizing the assessment Of the
county, insomuch that now, these
heavy corporations are placed on
nearly the same footing as the lab.
orer with his little home. This Is
as II should be and the man who
has had the courage to make the
assessment and the ability to make
Il stick should most certainly be
awarded another term as a reward
for his faithful services. Every
laboring man in the city should
give Mr.. Sigler his vote.

The defeat of A. Markely Lee
Esq, of Charleston for the legis-
lature is a sad disappointment to
the State. It is seldom such men
will consent to stand for Office,
and when they do, the people
honor themselves in voting for
them, butin Charleston they have
different ideas about such things:
men of candor, who do not truckle,
appeal not to the majority in that
city, with the result that Char
lesion no longer has an infuen,
tial force in the general assembly.
The defeat of Mr.. Lee was a
much greater loss to Charleston
and to South Carolina than it was
to him.

SOLVING SERVANT PROBLEM.
Commissioner Watson Makes Some Pertinent
Remarks.

Commissioner Watson says he
has walked up from his dream of
solving. the domestic servant
problem in this section, which is
steadily growing more acute by
substituting foreign white SER
wants for the negroes.
I'm done with the job," said
Mr.. Watson with a sigh ''There's
no use. I will make no more at
temps at least for the present to
bring white servants to any part
of the State. Conditions will not
warrant further attempts along
this line. There are some in
stancesi in which the experiments
have proved successful in which
both sides continue satisfied, but
these are few and far between.
The chief trouble is the matter
of pay. People in this state are
unwilli e to pay the increased
price for white help. They'll
Start out with a thorough under
standing of what they are to pay,
and begin right away Dragging
on the relief they are getting,
and everything will work lovely
till pay day, when there is a
splitting up and the jig is all up"
1t is merely an idle dream that
Mr.. Watson has been having for
he has been working with the en-
ergy characteristic of him for
several years trying to bring re-
lief to the long suffering public,
but every experiment he has
made has been a disappointment
so far as the general plan he in
augurated was concerned: and
he has become a gutter only
after the most determined efforts
IN different directions and after
the most exhaustive study Of the
situation.
His first attempts failed be-
cause Of social conditions, the
help he located leaving after a
time for the north and the west,
even where it was well treated
and amply paid These were in
telligent people of some educa-
ton. whose lives were made mis-
cradle by the nagging OF negro
servants in the same household

RHETT HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE.

The candidacy Of Hon. R. Good
wyn Rhettt, coming Us it did, on
the eve of the opening Of the
campaign was cne Of the most
remarkable in results we have
ever known in the States prl-
mary-method history. Mr.. Rhett
made such a high and clean cam
paign, that his very manner drew
friends to him. He was attacked
by Evans and Johnstone and his
fealty to Democracy questioned
by them.
He was also harassed and an
noyed by John P. Grace, who, it
is currently rumored, and from
circumstantial evidence, it is be-
lieved, was out, not to win him.
self, but to aid John Gary Evans.
When Evans ran against Earle,
John T. Duncan to crafty pri-
vate spleen went over the State
to defeat him. The spleen meth
Cd having worked then, it is be-
lieved that Grace had induce
ments to work the same methods
on Rhett; but we honestly believe
one more week of Grace's attacks
upon Rhett would have resulted
| in putting Mr.. Rhett in the sec
ond race. with 8. D. Smith, in
stead of John Gary Evans.
| But the first race is over and
Mr.. Rhett has no reason to have
any heart burnings from the re-
suit. He made a most remarkable
campaign-one that should set
the pace for the future, and ne
}received a very highly compli-
mentary vote, and, when it is
taken into consideration that this
was Mr.. Rhett's first experience
with State elections as a candi-
date, we must believe there is a
great future before him and he
will yet be recognized by the
voters of South Carolina.
The TINES did not support
Rhett, at the same time, it took
nostock in the attacks made upon
him by Evans, Johnstone and
Grace, it knew there was no SIN
cerity in those attacks, but that
they were for the purpose of de-
ceiving anl confusing the mass
es. We would rather be repre-
sented by such a high toned gen
tlemac as r. Goodwin Rhett IN
the United States senate, than a
dozen little hungry politicians as
John Gary Evans has provenhim
self to be. South Carolina needs
statesmen. and not grovelling
politicians, men who stand for
something and not men who make
a profession Of seeking Office.
| When three defeats cannot Salts
fly John Gary Evans greed for

POOR OLD CHARLESTON.

The conductof the city of Char
lesion il. the last primary has not
had a tendency to encourage
those who feel kindly towards
the old city: it is hard to speak
a kind word for a people who de.
liberately, and with malice afore
thought, advertise to the world
their contempt for law and order.
The vote in the recent election
in Charleston was a rebuke to
Governor Ansel for doing his
sworn duty, and it will ever be
remembered with sorrow. When.
ever a people so far forget them
selves as to permit a lawless ele-
ment to voice disregard for the
laws Of the State as was done in
Charleston by tee Reputation of
Governor Ansel, solely because
he undertook to make an earnest
effort to enforce the dispensary
law, that people will not and can
not expect the elbow touch from
the people of the State.
The great masses in South
Carolina realize the necessity of
maintaining order, the laws must
be sustained, and the officers who
are charged with the enforcement
of law shall be backed up with
public sentiment. Charleston has
ever resented interference with
her liquor traffic, and any officer
who undertakes to enforce the
liquor laws of the State in that
city is regarded a common enemy,
but Charleston forgets she has
other interests besides the hell
broth dives, there are other peo-
pie besides the lawless rum-sel-
Ter, and when the other interests
become so Indifferent or impotent,
as to permit a contempt for law
to be advertised as the sentiment
OF the city, how can Charleston
expect any sympathy from the
decent people Of the State.
The TINES editor feels kindly
for Charleston, and possibly un-
derstands conditions there better
than the average living beyond
the Cooper and Ashley rivers, he
knows the best people in that
city do not endorse the lawless-
ness, so prevalent there, nor did
they join in the reputation Of
Governor Ansel, but neverthe-
less the majority of the elector-
ate gave it's vote against the gov
ernor for no other cause than his
enforcement Of a statute, not Of
his making, but placed on the
books by the people Of South
Carolina, and the action of this
majority will be charged up to
Charleston as a whole. 1t GER
tainly cannot help the city, but
it will lessen her in the estima-
ton of the State. There IS only
one way for Charleston to redeem
herself, and that is to purify her
jury box, her police system: and
show to the world that Charles.
ton is a part Of the State, and
subject to its laws.
