No sooner is one phase of affairs cleaicd up favoiably than a fresh chapter of tlismalisin is opened. Three mouths ago they insisted that it would take an army of 50,000 men to drive Aguinuldo's army out of its works. Hut 10,000 proved enough. Then expenditures in the Philippines were estimated by opponents of the treaty at hundreds of millions a year. The real figures are quite moderate, with some revenue as an offset. Even the an nexation of Hawaii drew forth a warning that it would be necessary to maintain theie a strong army and fleet. A few soldiers sufficed and the presence even of one cruiser is not required. There has been talk of a spirit of revolt in Cuba and Porto Rico, but all that has happened is distinctly encouraging. A favorite assertion of the pessi mistic class is that the Philippines can not be quieted for years. Bui the change for the better within two weeks has been remarkable. The natives will be given all the home rule they can maintain successfully. and many are finding out that they Lave no reason for further fighting. The calamity prophet will not down, however. If there had been any thing retiring in his nature he would Lave quit after the presidential campaign of 1 830. That was truly a culmination of dreadful forebod ings of universal ruin if the gold standard prevailed. Yet the decis ion to slick to the 100c dollar bas licen followed by one of the greatest eras of national prosperity. Those who are gloorry in regard to the Philippines will draw it mild if they carj t) be warned by their uniform failure to make a true forecast of American progress, racy, if iti imbecilo leadeis do not extinguish it, may peiform all the necessary functions o4 an opposition party for many yeais yet.

The Ninth street road -Jl SAD ANNIVERSARY. List night marked the 34th an niversary of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by J. Wilkes Booth, in Ford's theater, Washington City. It was just at the ciose or me ctvu war, on lue eve of the present generation springing into existence. The Telegram says: The occasion was a horrible one, convulsing the entire nation. Those of the past generation yet alive, when recalling the tragedy to their mi nils, shudder at ft to this day. Piesident Lincoln had just saved tbe Union from dismemberment, and was about seeking comparative rest, uch as he had not known in four dreary, troublous years, when be suddenly was ushered into eternal life and immortalized on earth. What a difference between April 14, 1863, and April 14, 1899! Then the United States was entering upon an era of renewed peace. Now this countiy is embroiled in difficulties fn various parts of the globe, and those who were opposing each other during the rebellion are, In 1899, fighting side by side against foreign foes. Strange conditions are brought about by the mutations of time. The war with Spain has obliterated all sectional lines in the Ur.ited Slates, and at this moment the nation is more compact lhan ever before. WILL WIN DEM OCR A TIC VOTES. The Democratic Brooklyn Eagle, in referring to the fact that the New Yolk Times favors the nomination of Richard Olney by the Democrats in 1900 for tiie f residency, remarks that "the probability is Mr. Olney will vote for William McKinley for that office, and the Times will ask its readers to do the same thing." This forecast is probably correct. Very likely Mr. Olney, if he voted at all in that year, voted for Mc KiDlcy in 189G.

Arriving in that now-thriving liitle berg, they were met by a delegation of teachers and others, ho soon hail tli -in comfortably seated in a hck driven by Capt. J. H. Dukep, at,d they were irlvtu over the beautiful road abvve the city, where was obtained the grand est view of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams imaginable. It was just the day for such a drive. Upon returning they spent a short time in walking about the city and viewing the many improve ments now going on, after which they were taken to the school house here the meeting was to be held. Much has been said hy them regarding tbe neat ness of the buildin and the air of interest in their scheul which pervaJes the atmosphere there. Hon. E. L. Smith welcomed the visitors in an eloquent and most cordial manner, which just captured tbe teach ers, particularly the young ladies. Prof Gavin answered in a happy manner assuring the people of Hood Kiver that they were glad to be privileged to meet with them. Director N. C. Evans being compelled to visit Portland, was not present to speak on the subject assigned him "Our Schools." Some of the best papers ever read at an institute in the county were those by Mrs. E. I.. Smith, Miss Minnie Elton and Miss White, while Troy Shelly gave a splendid talk on "How to Teach Multi plication." Mies Halloa Thinnan told how she taught number work in the first grade, and her remarks were at once interest ing and entertaining, as she illustrated her methods. Prof. J. 8. Landers covered a part of a wide field embraced in the subjact "Literature in the Schools." ic manner which at once caused every one present to be interested. The question intended to be brought np was how shall we have literature in the schools? and the answer naturally was, create a school library. It was dis covered that about seventy per cent of the districts of the county have started libraries since November 1st. This subject was very thorough! r dis cussed by Supt. Gavin, J. T. Neef, Troy Shelly, C. D. Thompson, J. M. Carroll, H. L. Ho,we, Hester Howe, Kate Daven port and Mrs. E. M. Wilson. During the session some of the best of singing was listened to, which was fur nished by the school children, under the direction of Miss Ann Smith. At the noon hour the visitors were escorted to the hotel by a committee of teachers and friends, who joined them in the dinner served. The meeting closed at 3:30 o'clock, and about 4 :30 they started for the boat landing. Although the wind blew heavily, the return trip was very enjoy, able and they reached home at 7 o'clock. These educational meetings are not only instructive, but a great benefit to the teacheis, giving them an oppor tunity to recuperate after weeks of arduous work. REGARDING THE SEWER SYSTEM An Kniioaer to II Employed to Inrca-tlg-ata Concerning Ulovo Conteata, The council met in special session Saturday night, with Mayor Nolan pre siding and Councilmen Kuck, Johnston, Johns, Clough, Gunniog, Stephens and Keller on hand. The mayor stated that the object of me meeting was to bear the report of tbe special sewer committee which was appointed to investigate the proposed sewer system for the city and advise concerning the best means to the end desired. Kuck, of that committee, recommended that a civil engineer be emplojed to look into the proposed sys tem and report as to its feasibility. Whereupon, on motion of Councilmen Johnston, the recommendation was ac cepted and the committee directed to employ V. J. Roberts, formerly of The uanes, but now of Pullman, Wash., as such engineer. The recorder Immedi ately a rote Mr. Roberta to that effect.
