Old age has overtaken the year 1399, and the tolling of the watchkeeper's belli at 12 o'clock last Sunday night announced to the world the moment of ita expiring breath. As of all the years which have preceded it, it may be said to have brought much of happinee and much of sorrow; to some peace and plenty, to others misfortune and pov erty. The present year will be no dif ferent. The glad tidings of great joy is for some; but painand sorrow and anx iety and poverty have not been ban ished, and the dying year of 1900 will leave the old world very much in the anA condition it found it. We but follow in the foeteteps of those who trod Jife's journey before as, and leave to those who follow the same highway to the end of life. Sin and sorrow and joy nd gladness have always been in the world, and neither this year nor the next year can make auy difference in them. You may have disappointment nd woe, bat gladness and joy as well The year just starting on its mission is one of great promise to our county, state and nation. On every hand are evidences of prosperity which has come to stay, and throughout the nation paeans of thanksgiving are arising from every heart. As a nation we have pros pered during the year just ended, as never before in our history and the signs-of the times predict a brilliant ad prosperous year for all dwellers v .i. i n f -i. - t Y vcjuesfcu uic uag vi uie iree. creu ill . the far-off isles of the Pacific oar free flag is seen and honored. While we thus look backward on the past, we should not forget to look hopefully to the fu ture. Everything that pertains to na tional pride should be upheld. The onward march of civilization should be kept np, and when the year 1900 comes to an end, we shall look proudly upon a people whose territory knows no limit and on whose flag the sun win never set. Bat let ns look nearer home. Our people have not been in so prosperous a condition for many years. Business has been good for two years past; employ ment for labor, common and skilled, has been plentiful ; wages have been fair, if not nearly as good as in any previous time in our history, and the cost of living is no greater, if not less, than it has been in the past. The people throughout our county Eeem to have some ready cash with which to purchase the necessaries of life; and taken altogether the year 1899 was one of prosperity and plenty at home. Vast sums of private debt was liquidated ; an enormous public debt was cancelled, or the greater part of it, at least, and the prospects for further decrease of debt burden are very promising. Many new people have settled in the county and are hewing out homes where but a few years ago was to be seen naught but the virgin forest. The amount of taxa ble property has been greatly increased, and the prospects in general which now offer for the year so auspiciously just ushered in could be no more promising. Jt as all strive to the end that the year 1900 go down to history as one of pros. perity for the county, and contentment, good will, health and happiness for our people. CONVINCED TBAT TBS JIG IS VP, The grand Tagalog republic of Wash- ingtons and Hampdmis, a government recognized by the Anti-Imperialist League, is unaided evert as tigmeut of the imagination, which is about all it ever amounted to. The "congress" has skedadlud. The capitol , is in Aguin aldo's shoes, and liable to be arrested a any moment. The rebels in the north are on the run. The rebels in the south are going home, convinced that the jig is up. Only the rump ot the rebellion is left in Luton, The Mindanao rebels re giving up their guns. The littlu row is about over. The plight and ruin of Aguinaldo are the political plight and ruin of his sup porters in the United States. They have not teg left to stand on. Their hopes and their predictions have been baffled. The American authority over American territory has been asserted, The bubble of an independent Filipino republic has been burst. Teritorially the process of expansion is practically complete. The political aspect have yet to be considered, but against the fact itself is fruitless to strive. Otis and his generals have knocked anti-expan sion into cocked hat. All that is left to the Malay represen tatives of our Atkinsons is bushwhack ing and assassination. . So goes anotner democratic issue, smashed not merely before the meeting of the democratic national convention, but before the meeting of congress. SI WALL ON 0VBXANIFEST DESTINY. The Hon. Arthur Sewell of Maine, who bad the distinction to be nomina ted for vioe-president on the popocratic ticket, at the Chicago convention of 1896, by s Los Angeles man, and to have had the joy of running in a stern chase with Mr. Bryan, is visiting Los Angeles, where he will find the same generous welcome that is given to all misguided democrats. It is interesting to note, in this connection, that Mr. Sewell comes out strong for supporting tbe govern ment in the contest that is now on lu the Philippines, and that he is a be liever in the principle that it is the "manifest destiny" of this republic to aid in the enlightenment and civiliza tion of the world. All of which goes to show that there are more differences between Mr. Bryan and his late run ning mate than the wide difference that separates the states in which they live ADVANTAGES OF ROADS. Bad roads constitute the greatest drawback to rural life, and for the lack of good roads the farmers 'suffer more than any other class. It is obviously unnecessary, therefore, to discuss'' the benefits to be derived by them from im proved roads. Suffice it to say that those localities where good roadB have been built are becoming richer, more prosperous and more thickly settled, while those which do not possess these advantages in transportation are either at standstill or are becoming poorer and more sparsely settled. If these conditions continue, fruitful farms may be abandoned and rich lands go to waste, . Life on s farm often becomes, as a result of ''bottomless roads," isolated nd barren of social enjoyments and pleasures, and country people in some oommunities suffer such great disadvan tage that ambition is checked, energy weakened and industry paralyzed. Good roads, like good streets, make habitation along them most desirable. They economize time and force in trans portation of products, reduce wear and tear on horses, harness and vehicles and enhance the market value of real estate. They raise the value of farm lands and farm products and tend to beautify tbe country through which they pass. They facilitate rural mail delivery and are ODDS AND E.NDS. It will be altogether proper if the war in the Philippines ends at Cavite, close to where it began, ana nign unto tne place where Admiral Montojo received an everlasting jolt to Spain and the fleet under his command. This paper possesses the only well equipped job printing plant in St. Hel ens, where the quality of stock used and workmanship are of the best. Our prices are consistent witn such qualities and we guarantee satisfaction to patrons. If there were fewer liars in Hons Kone there would be less war in the Philippines, and had there been no At kinsonian kickers in this country it is doubtful if there wonld have been any war at all after the end of the war with Spain. Those eminent autis, Carl Sehnrtz and William J. Bryan, have had a falling out, Mr. Schurtz declaring that if Mr. Bryan continues his free silver argu ments he will spoil the anti-imperialis tic broth. Will not some one kindly rescue Mr. Schurtz and his broth ? The fact that we are buying bonds. instead of issuing them, shows another of the marked differences between the present administration and the last one. And there are so many other agreeable differences that it would require a cata logue of many pages in which to detail : them. The Astoria Herald claims to have a letter from Robert Ingersoll, written in hades. That gentleman is toasting his shins, carrying coal and making him self generally useful, according to the letter. "Bob" says the weather gets a little warm but he doesn't mind a little thing like that, and he further remarks that he is disappointed in not finding as many of his friends there as lie thought he would. It should not be lost sight of for a moment that there is not, and never has been each a thing as a Filipino na tion. The Filipinos are only one of the numerous tribes of natives in the Philippines, and it is only their tribe which is in revolt against the U. S. government. By keeping these facts in view, the farcial nature of the antis is made plain. Yes si reel Mr. Bryan would make the people of this country believe that the whole fabric is on tbe eve of bankruptcy. And yet, in the face of his declaration and gloomy forebodings, is it safe to say that William Jennings Bryan has never before in his life made one-tenth the money that he has during these times ot "great depression." lie is eternally "talking through his hat." Over in Eastern and Southeastern Oregon the sheep killing coyote is the bane ot the herder's and sheep-owner's life. Lake county offers a reward of f2 for every coyote scalp, and stockmen, ranchers and hunters vie with each other in chasing the wily and elusive animal. The last term of the commis sioners court of that county drew war rants for $1200 for scalps. The money was well spent. In the sheep country of Eastern Oregon coyotes have caused untold loss. Aguinaldo, the elusive, is still at Iarire somewhere in the wilds of Luzon, but be is merely prolonging the day of ugd ment and increasing the chances that his followers will tret shot. Although the juckrabbit may succeed for a long time in getting uirougn noies in me lence, the time must come, sooner or later, when the swift hound will gobble him up, no matter how Beet ot loot he may be. The jack rabbit of the Philippines is vastly Bwift on foot, but the time can not be far off when be will find it im possible to find another hole in the fence. Tbe Bandon Recorder man thinks Mormon men roust be a frugal and in dustrious class when some of them can support two, three or four wives, when there are men in his town who cannot support one. Perhaps they could if they would. It ought not be a hard matter over there, where "God Al mighty sets his table twice day,' as was once said by lion. J. W. Maxwell in the Oregon legislature, speaking of Tillamook county, lie meant the un covering: of the luxuriant clam beds by the ebbing of the ocean's tides. tialein btatesiuan. Our dear old friend. Aunt Susan B Anthony, is still reasonably certain that the world's salvation can only be worked out through the operation of female sutfiaire. Aunt Sumii is certainly stayer, but she must concede that, in the matter of headway, there are oth things than f. s. that go with much more swiftness and dispatch. We trust that the ladies who are holding a con vention at Indianapolis will have lovelv time, and a for that brute, man may they give it to the miserable wretch a he deserves. Meanwhile, we have an idea that man, the wretched brute, will continue to bans on in the same old place, even though his hold at times is difficult to maintain. Twelve carloads per month of second class mail matter, printed in one Maine oitiee, "Sample Copy" stuff of the cheap advertising class, is one of 20, 0(H) frauds which helps to swell the uostoltlca defi cit auuually and destroy the ethcieucy of legitimate country newspapers. Could Postmaster-Geueral Smith sup press swindles like that and ureas, u the postofiice express package system there would be no more deficiencies in that department. The pound rate was granted to the newspapers of the conn try on a theory that the government should encourage the dissemination of intelligence, but it was never intended by congress that advertising journals, novels, ancient history, encyclopedias, political documents and other mercliau dise should enjoy the same advantage as newspapers at cost of several mil lions of dollars to the taxpayers of the country, and these abuses are constantly on the increase. PERTINENT PA It AG RAPHS. Mb. Roberts, of Utah, has begun to explain, and no man In the country can reckon on steadier job. Ir our arms had captured Aggie' mother-in-law instead of his mother there would be no telling when the war would end. Those persons who desire to express sympathy lor the under dog" the isoers will now be required to change their views. The order of things has been Reversed. Ma. Robebts did not help his own case verv much bv trvinir to linueach the character of the witnesses against him New Jersey's republican plurality is 1,919, against 4oo in lava, an example ot the expansive influence ol expansion. It is a very hopeful sign when a mau like Loneressunin Mbley can be con vinced in four years' time that tbe gold standard is a good thing lor the country. No doubt Aguiualdo'a safest place would be under an American guard. His most dangerous enemies are the natives he has oppressed and despoiled Dewey is mistaken about his ability to inake a srjeech. Ilia address to the captain of tbe Olyinpia, "You may fire when ready," is tbe essence ol eloquence. Br laying down their arms the Tagals can get peace and a great deal more free dom under the American nag than tney can secure in any other way. The question in Kentucky is whether the state is to be run by s majority of voters or by conspiritor armed with a trick election law contrived by himself. "The gold standard has come because it has come." remarks an exchanze. It necessary unless the united estates proposes to be a hermit nation. Secretary Gaoe estimates the sur plus for the present fiscal year at $40.' 000,000. The prophets who figured out s dencite ot hundreds oi minions n the Philippines were retained are not good at cipnering. Seven years ago the foreign trade of the United States reached $1,000,000,000 for the nrst time, and this year it will go bevond $2,000,000,000. Uncle Sam's varieties of expansion are an interesting study. Mb. Bryan says the people fail to make the proper distinction between a standard dollar and a credit dot' nr. Mr. Brvan assumes to be extremelv learned about different varieties of dollars, but unless their value is 100 cents the Amer ican people have no use for them. Ex-Szkatob Palmsb'b prediction that Brvan, if he is the candidate in 1900. will lose Illinois by 100,000 votes will not htartle any bod v. Bryan was beaten by 142,000 in Illinois in 1896, and be is weaker now all over the country than he was then. The general's forecast is very conservative. Is 1895 Senator Hoar made a speech at Plymouth, Mass., at the 27-"th anni versary of the landing of the Pilgrims, in which he spoke glowingly of the successive additions of territory to the United States. He referred to the growth of the tree the Pilgrims planted and concluded in this eloquent strain : "Its boughs hang over the Pacific. And in good time it will send its roots beneath the waves and receive under its vast canopy the islands of the sea." Senator. Hoar has a chance to explain this imperialistic talk.
