WILL MAKE NO REDUCTION commissroxers decided kot to cut police force. her "Will Retain the Officer and Trust to the Taxpayer to Pay Tliexn. The "Police Commissioners have decided to retain the present forco, in spite of the fact that no funds are available for pay ment of salaries for October, November and December of this year. Chief Mc Xcuchlan said yesterday that he did not ieol Justified In disbanding the patrolmen and thus leave the city without even the email force now on duty. He did not think that the people of Portland desired to be entirely without police, and he" is sure the taxpayers will meet the emer firencj and xirovlde for the payment of the city's Just debts, when the time comes. "A few years ago," said he, "all that would have been necessary in a dilemma of this kind would bo to issrue city war rants for the payment of Police Depart ment or any other municipal bills, but city warrants were finally Issued to the extent of $500,000 for -all (purposes and the taxpayers thought it was high time to re f und this S per cent interest-bearing debt and sell bonds bearing a lower rate. We would have plenty of money even now to pay all the department's debts but for Assessor Greenleaf's reduction in the val uations of Multnomah County. "The department for tho past few months has been Just about self-sustaining, through fines collected in the Mu nicipal Court, but these moneys go into the general fund, and the City Council lias recently passed a resolution refusing to loan the Police Department any more money to pay its current expenses." In the meantime how will the policemen do without their pay? Most of them are poor men and have families, and they can not afford to wait four or five months. Some of the members of the force are in the habit of discounting their salaries .now, and thu paying some broker $3 out of their $70 f oi the use of the money dur ing the current month. It is a question now whether brokers can be found who will advance the men the amount of their salaries, at ever so large a discount, as there is rothlng sure about the city pro viding funds for the payment of the men at all. The Commissioners have not yet decided to issue certificates to each member of tre force at the end of the month, but this will probably be the mode adopted. Then, to fell their certificates and obtain, cash enough for personal running ex penses, will be the problem which patrol men, captains, drivers, Jailers and even tne Chief himself -will have to face. OBSTRUCTING A STREET. Hill Company Charged "With Using Thoroughfare for Lumber Yard. Residents of that section of the city eouth of Glbbs street are vigorously pro testing against the energy and expansion ist principles of the proprietors of a planing mill in the vicinity. The con cern 5s located near Gibbs street and ex tends from First to Front. A fire oc curred there some two months ago, which badly damaged the sidewalk on the Front etreet end of the property. This side Walk has never been repaired, and since the new proprietors have resumed opera tions It is alleged that they have extend ed sheds on both ends of the property, have built a fence taking in a portion of the damaged sidewalk, on Front street; and, not content with this, have piled lumber on that street as close as possible to the car tracks, completely -depriving the public of the use of said sidewalk, and are piling lumber on the street on all sides of the establishment where there is a street. It is alleged that Front street is not improved to its full width at this point, end that the sheds have been extended beyond the street line. It is not often that fault is found with any ono for .displaying too much energy, but It is al leged that the proprietors of these mills have come in from, some place in the country, where people are not particular A Two Days' Cut In Women's Wool Hose Fast black, seamless, cash mere, with elastic ribbed tops, and double merino heels and toes; prime 25c hose, at 19c pr Renaissance Pure white, 56 Inches wide IT 9 nr 41 J.

APPLICANTS FOR PENSIONS Many of Them Go Before Local Ex amining" Board. The Board of Medical Examining Sur geons for Pensions, which meets In Port land every "Wednesday, has usually a number of applicants to dispose of. Some of these are ex-soldiers of the Clyll "var, and others are young men who served In the recent "War with Spain. Under recent laws, ex-soldiers who have reached tne age of 65 are entitled to at least $C a month, if their genenal health is so poor as to Interfere with their earning a living. At the age of 73 a veteran must be pret ty -well preserved, or he 13 entitled to $12 a month. The object of recent laws was to help old soldiers in their declining years, who have become decrepit from any cause. Several worthy veterans of the Spanish "War have recently been awarded pensions on the findings of the Portland board, and among these is Frank- Taylor, -who ALIi QUALIFIED ELECTORS 1 SHOULD VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.

He was blinded by the glare of the head light of an engine and walked off the dock and struck on his head. The re mains were brought to Dunning under taking rooms yesterday morning. After looking into the matter, the Coroner de cided that on inquest was not necessary. The funeral will take place this after noon from the home of his son, William E.

Therefore, we have all been striving to got away from cheap money, and if the United States should vote to go back to it that country would suffer, in our estimation, Just as she will surely do If the natives are prematurely put in possession of the government of the Philippines, as the party of Mr. Bryan proposes in Its programme. To do this would mean a century of riot, revolution and bloodshed ln the Philippines. We know through experience what a condi tion of revolution and bad government means, and if the United States should take these backward steps our faith in Its government as an Ideal institution would be shattered, and the consequenoes of this loss of moral prestige would be 'far reaching, and surely your commercial relations with us would be harmfully af fected.'

Baltimore American. Tho National campaign of this year bears such a striking resemblance, ln nearly all of its salient features, to the battle of four years ago, that history seems to be repeating itself in the do main of -American politics. The two leading candidates for the Presidency now ara the same men who run against each other then, and they stand for the same principles they stood , for when they first sought the suffrages of the people. Their theories of government havo not changed. Tho great Issue be tween them and between the two parties is Identical this year with the great issue of 1838, and all attempts to sidetrack that issue have been the most dismal failures. It Is McKlnley and sound money on the one hand. Bryan and free silver on the other. Efforts to scare the people with Imperialism, militarism and with reckless denunciations of all com binations of capital for business pur poses have not hid the supreme Issue, and tho campaign has now narrowed down, as It did In 1S96, to the question whether this country shall or shall not have a stable currency, based upon a sound financial system. Four years ago this month. Chairman Jones, then running the Bryan cam paign, Just as he Is now, was making the same sort of claims that he Is today. In fact he was asserting, day after day, that Bryan would carry states In which ho had not the slightest chance. Just as a reminder of those prophecies, which never came true, here are some of Chairman Jones' estimates given to the people In 1896: Claimed for "Went for States. Bryan by McKlnley by Ohio 25.000 47,407 Indiana 20.000 18,151 Illlnol 50.000 H29 Michigan 50.000 58.868 Wisconsin 30,000 102.012 Iowa 20.000 65,552 Minnesota 30,000 53.875 Bryan's managers are now claiming these same states, with a lot of others, by majorities so absurd as to make the wiser men of their own party laugh ln derision. The only wonder is that they don't claim Pennsylvania and Maine. Every credible report from the group of Western States given ln the table above,makes It weU-nlgh centaln that their Republican majorities this FalL will w be Just as large -as they wero In 1896. - In fact.

The well-informed "Washington cor respondent of the ICew York Tribune, discussing this subject says: . "There 13 now show for Bryan. He will not carry as many states as he did In 1S96. Tho general drift of opinion now Is that McKlnley will have every state he car ried In. that, battle and ln addition, ono California vote, "Washington. "Wyom inir. Kansas and South Iakota, with a strong probability of Nebraska, itself. Every chance that Bryan had in Mary land is rapidly vanishing,, and he nerer had one In "West Virginia. "When tho gas belt of Indiana Is heard from. It will e overwhelmingly for McKlnley. as before, and so will tho Germans of Illinois and "Wisconsin." Prospects in California. John D. Spreckels, owner of the San Francisco Call, had this to say in "Wash ington recently about the political out look ln California: "President McKlnley will easily carry the state. He has lost none of his sup port of four years ago, and has gained heavily from the Democrats. AH over the state are prominent Democrats who supported Bryan four years ago who are now with the Republicans for this cam paign. The Republican majority of four years ago will be greatly exceeded this yar. California, "Washington, Oregon and "Wyoming are certain for McKlnley. All of these states are heartily for ex pansion. They are benefiting Immensely by the trade In tho East, and know that much more may be expected. Child "Was Suffocated.
