CONSIDERING the cases of Alger, Egan and Captain Carter and that of Admiral Schley, it seems to be get ting to be a badgeof honor to be slighted by the McKinley administration and a disgrace to be honored by it. The Civil Service Keform League ox presses surprise that Governor Roose velt has quit talking about civfl Bervice reform in his recent political speeches. Ab a matter of fact, there is nothing more in civil service reform for RooBe velt; hence he has retired from that sphere of reform and has taken on the mantle of a machine politician. 1 .The only explanation for the escape from General Otis' press censors of the story f the capture of our gunboat by the Filipinos is that Otis is evidently not trying to conceal unpleasant things that happen to the navy. His contract is big enough without takini on more. Why is it that while a year ago not a single republican newspaper would de fend the trusts, now the republican plat forms seem to fear more that the people may injure some good trusts than that some bad trusts may injure the people? The republican party does not act like one that meant to do more than an through the motions of making a fight against the trusts. Admiral Sampson was to have met Dewey in person when he arrived off the oast and escorted him to New York, but Dewey came when he was not ex pected, and, as in the case of Admiral n c . .. vbi vem, oampson was noi mere to re ceive him. Behind the trusts are the jreat finan ciers, the great money trust that bun coed the American people into electing President McKinley on a platform de claring for international bimetalism and then construed the result as a declara tion for the gold standard. Now they intend to fool the people by having the republicans declare against the trusts, as they declared for bimetalism, for pub lication only and not as an evidence of good, faith. .. t It may be, as the republicans inti mate, that the signers of ' the Declara tion of Independence were a pack of old fogies whose principles are cow com pletely out of date, but. the republicans will find out next year that the majority of voters don't think so. . $ Cups and Saucers i Dinner Plates..... 8 Since Diahes 45c Me 25c 100-Piece fine Decorated Dinner 8et 9.50 Transport Sail for Home.

Furnished Every Week by Clacka mas Abstract & Trust Co. 000 Governor Roosevelt, in his speech at Akron assumed to criticise the demo cratic nominees for what he called tbelr greed for office.
