JUOER W'JR HAS SO rLACE IS
AMERICAS POLITICS.
It not infrequently happens tint'
that
among the most j idicicus and ap
preciative citizens of a country are
those who are or who bave been
temporarily absent from it, says the
2ew Yoik Tribune. There is more
reluruiog travelers that they come
borne better Americans than when
they went awav. They should do!
so. They have ba I an opportunity
to compare or to contrast the institu
tions and conditions of America with
those of other lands, and to regard
them from such distance as affords a
. : ri. ... i
correct perspective. I here must
always, of course, be a laige piopor
tion of citizets at home who see
cieariy ana iuidk rigui, eise iuc
nation would speedily go to ruin.
But it is not surprising, however
much a matter of rebuke it may be
to some, to Bud in a colony of
Americans abroad a far greater
unanimity on the right side than
exists in the nation at Lome as a
whole.
This thought is suggested at this
time by a perusal of the brief but
weighty letter which some fifty
Americsn citizens resident in South
Africa have addressed uTo the Na
tional Political Conventions and the
People of the United States of Amer
ica." The document is worthy of
reproduction for repcrusal, as follows:
"We, the undersigned Ameiican
citizens, resident in South Africa,
though entertaining different views
as to the meiits of the controversy
that has culminated in the present
war, are entirely agreed that the
cause of humanity will best be served
by our fellow-citizens in the
United States observing a strict neu
tralily toward both belligerents. As
republicans and democrats, we unite
hi deeply regretting the efforts that
we now learn are being made to drag
this unhappy matter into politics,
since we realize that such a course
can bave no beneficial result to either
of the belligerents, but, on the con
trary, is calculated to prolong the
strife by raising falsa hopes. We
appeal to all political parties in the
United Stales in the name of human
vity to refrain from cruelly playing
with this matter for political pur
poses, believing, as we do, that theie
is n3t, has not been, nor ever will be,
the slightest chance of our country
departing from its traditional policy
by intervening In this foreign quar
rel. We are convinced that if this
truth were fully realized in South
Africa, as it ultimately must be, the
war would sooner terminate, and
thousands of lives be saved. Hence
we earnestly appeal to men of all
parties, to eliminate this matter from
the coming campaign."
In that speaks the voice of patri
otic wisdom. There also speaks a
representative voice of the American
people. Tbe fifty names appended
to the letter are those of democrats
and of republicans, of men who
sympathize with the Boers and of
men who sympathize with the British;
of men from New York, and of men
from Texas and of men from Cali
fornia and from many other states.
Thpy are a varied company, but they
are all American citizens and they
all sec with absolute clearness and
precision the duty of the United
States government and of the Amer
ican people. What they say is to
be commended to the careful con
sideration of all those to whom it is
addressed.
Perhaps Senator James K. Jones,
of Arkansas, chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, can en
lighten the people a; to the evil
effects of trusts. He his for a long
time been a member of the cotton
bale trust.
While all the appropriations made
during the last session of coDgress
were 124,000,000 larger tlan in 1900,
that uine
in taking
the census, Jtud upwards cf seventeen
millions will be used for improtin;
the postal service, Lite another
seven millions will be spent in in
creasioff our navv. In other direc
tions there has been an
actual

j
i .eDator Wolcott faid in Ins s pcetb
at Philadelphia that "A democratic
president could paralyze the ojcra-
linn t.t the ritw currency law a
., ., fr,.m
I effectually as if it were
jour statute books." Democratic;
success would reopen the whole cur
! rencv ouestion and end in a
for irredeemable paper money.

I have a doubt on that point.

The talk of nomitating David B
i Hill for vice-piesiJenl on the Bryan
ite ticket is ridiculous. Hill is a
gold-standard democrat and a radical
on onent of the Brvanite policy of
an income tax. And besides that
; there , n)t ft . of socialist L!ood
I 1
in his bodv, Hill would make . a
pretty fair democrat but he isn't a
Brvanite bv a Ion way. and Bryan-
ism goes these dajs.
After all that Senator Hoar ha
said and done to give aid and com -
fort to anti-expansion democrats, he
now declares that the McKinlcy and
Roosevelt campaign will bo earnestly
supported by him for be believes the
future of the Philippines will be
safer in the hands of McKin'ey than
Bryan, though he is still opposed to
the policy which brought on the war
in the islands.

"iiiiatn Jennings jsryan
has no
need to make the asscition that he
'stands where he stood four years
ago,' " states the Tacoroa Ledger.
"It as entirely unnecessary, for his
every utterance Dakes the fact
manifest. He does not progress, and
even lacks the genius of the democrat
and the occupant of the front seat of
a caniage of seeing things after they
are passed."
"If we ate going to give the Fili
pinos their independence," says
Bryan in a recent letter, "wc ought
to sfcy so at once, and thus avoid
further bloodshed." Mr. Bryan
should explain if he would give in
dependence to each of the sixty
tribes, or authorze one tribe, in the
name of independence, to tyrannize
over all the others.
Congressman Dollivcr says the
fight in the coming campaign is for
the wages of the workingman, for ihe
solvency of buyer und seller, for
the market place and for dividends
on every invested dollar.
Col. Bryan turns a deaf car to
every appeal that is made to him to
drop silver. From present appear
ances he believes he will have all he
cai do to drop Towne.
If the people of the country are
against expansion, how is it that no-
body can be found to run for presi-!
dent on an
platform ?
anti-expansion policy
The "yellow kid" of yellow Jour
nalism may become prominent in
national politics if Willie Hearst be
comes the running mate of Willie
Bryan.
In the absence of an issue, logic,
or mental activity of any kind, the
democratic paity can always fall
back on abuse cf Ilanna.
Wheat is behaving as if it intended
to poke fun at the Chicogo platform

come to all the capital it can make
out of the deportation of Mullet and
"Ms in the Goat." KigMcen years
ago, when thtse men were convicted
of conspiiacy in the murder of T. II.
Dutke and Lord Fiederick Caven
dish, the leaders of the national part?
in Ireland, Messrs. Parncll, Dillon
and Davitt at once issued an address.
to the Irish people and to the woild,
expressing their horror and despair
at the shameful crime which had
brought disgrace upon their country.
iri ; It. . .,. : 1 . 44 Wa fjit.l
0! that no act has ever been perpetrated
in our country, uuring iuc exi-iuug
struggles for social and political
rights of the past fifty year?, that has
so stained the name of hospitable
Ireland as tbi cowardly and unpro
voked assassination of a friendly
j wnger,
and that until the inuider-
eis of Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Mr. Burke are brought to Justice that
stain will sully our country's name
ri-i . i 1 . t
The feelings expressed in this mani
festo were generally expressed all
over Ireland. In Cork, a meeting,
chiefly composed of Nationalists and
Land Leaguers, passed unanimously
' the following resolution :
J "That this meeting of the citizens
j of Cork, spontaneously assembled,
j hastens to express the feelings of in-
i dignation and sorrow with which it
has learned of the murder of Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Mr. T. II.
Burke last night, and to denounce it
as a crime that calls to heaven for
i vengance; to repudiate its authors,
i whoever they may be, with disgust
I and abhorrence, as men with whom
thc Irish nation has do community of
feeling; and to convey our condo
lence with the families of the mur
dered." I It remains for a Wasco county
j Bryan ite not a democrat, thank
j God to defend two conspirators in
one of the crudest murders of all
the ages; to defend, this is to say,
men whom tbeir own countrymen
have repudiated and despised, and to
condemn the national authorities be
cause they have done their simple
duty in the premises and refused
these murderers a domicile on an
American soil. Mullet and Fitzhar
ris were not condemned to a life
servitude merely as suspects, as our
contemporary would have it, but foi
actual and well attested conspiracy
in the crime of murder. Their
membership in the society of "In
vinciblcs," that planned and exe
cuted the murder of Burke and
Cavendish was never open to a
reasonable doubt. The Irish-American
societies that have protested
against the depot tat ion of these
murderers are guilty of "amazing
impudence," and the Wasco county
Bryanitc organ that justifies tbcm is
guilty of still more "amazing impu
dence." The Flmt fruit.

Editok Chbosici.k: It was an-
nonnced a few days apo that Hood
uiver now tiaa two saloons, paymg a
license of b00 each. This money of
ccurso is paid iDto the city treasury of
Hood River. Hood River has always
enjoyed the proud distinction of being a
strictly temperance town and having
furnished the leaet amount of criminal
business for the courts of any community
of its size in the state. All tins becauee
she never had a saloon. In yesterday's
issue you give a graphic description of
the fiMt, but inevitable fruit of Hood
River's recent change of policy. Poor
Mi-Uan was the first victim of the Hood
River ealoons. It is said that he bad
been drinking heavily at Hood River

RECORDER'S ANNUAL REPORT.
Hh.lD m Ortly fnraved Cuuilltioa
la the fit)' finance.
To tub Hos. Mayor and Cocnlil ok
Dallih Cut :
It is ureal pleasure to be able, for
the second time, to submit for your con
sideration a favorable annual report of
the financial condition of this citv.
For year th expenditures were
greater than tbe income, and It il was
a perplexing difficulty that was hard to
overcome, and it remained thus ontil
two years ago, when tbe taxpayers were
informed that tbe city's financial condi
tion bad changed from a long coarse of
adversity to a courts of prosperity very
gratifying to taxpayer. The following
report, after considerable labor, is so ar
ranged that every possible source of in
come and ex pen lit are is to plainly
r-hown that it can be readily eeeo how
tbe money of the people has been han
dled and their affairs conducted.
The fiscal year commences July 1,
1899. and ends Jane 30, 1D0O.

Besides this saving the city contrib
uted over $500 towards the opening and
improvement of Federal Btreet, greatly
increasing the value of property in that
locality. Beside this the city contrib
uted over $600 towards the parchase of
tbe chemical engine, hook and ladder
truck and fire alarm system, the result
of which is that we have a line fire de
partment and that the rate of insurance
has been cnt down ou business property,
saving hundreds of dollars for the citi
zens. For the purpose of comparison the fin
ancial condition of the city for a few
years back Is given. Only a few years
are necessary, as further back would
bring us to the period when the $57,000
deht was slowly contracted:
For the fiscal year July 1, 1890, to
June 30, 1897, the expenditures over the
incoino nniouuted to $42.16.
For the fiscal year July 1, 1897 to June
30, 1898, the expenditures over the in
come amounted to $58.73.
My firet annual report then showed
that the affairs bad changed, and for the
fiscal year commencing July 1, 1S98, and
ending June 30, 18W, the income over
the expenditure amounted to $3041 93.
Tins city is running on only a 5-tuill
tax, while other cities in Oregon and
Washington are struggling hard w ith a
tax luuch larger than ours, a few of
which I will cite for example: Walla
Walla, Wash., tax 12' mills, loss $700.
Last year lots, $3100. Salem, Ore., 10
mills; Astoria 10 mille, saving nothing;
Albany, 8 mills; Baker City, 10 mills;
LaGrande, 10 mille, and Vancouver,
Wash., 7 mills.
LeeB than two years ago there was no
eueh thing as a sinking fund to met
the city's debt contracted years ago.
Monet was put into the sinking fund as
follows:
Feb. 20, 1S99 $5000 00
May 3, 1899 u)00 00
May 3. 1900 1U(K) 00
Jane 6, 1900 1500 00
8500 00
This money Is loaned at interest and
1 i ft nrriflnrintr ntrpr thrift a nn T1.A
' - S w.. . " M J V in . 4 lie
debt will be payable In twenty years
from now, if this sum is kept at interest.
Without computing the re-loan of the
inteiest, this sa:n will amount to about
$20,o00 when the debt is due. Thus it
will be seen ihat one-third of the debt
is practically paid.
There is no reason why this prosper
ous condition cf the citv should not con
tinue as long as its officers live up to
that maxim that a public ollice is a
public trust.
Respectfully submitted,
N'tn If. G.vrK.s,

The Chinese ask "How is your liver?"
instead of "How do you do?" for when
the liver is active the health is good.
DeWitt's Little Early F.isers are famous
