It is gratifying to note by the most
rfcert advices that everything is com
lir our way In the Philippines, despite
the evil wishes of those In America
whos sympathies are with the ene
mies of their country. The fatuous
Filipinos under Agulnaldo, Who have
been encouraged to a tricked and use
less resistance of the authority of the
Vnlted States, have met with nothing
but defeat In their futile struggle,. as
they di -serve. Their success and the
withdrawal of the United States troops
ard authority from the Archipelago
would mean, first of all, anarchy, and
thn disintegration of this "island em
pire," either by agreement among the
European powers, or through more and
bloodier wars. There never was any
justintation on the part of the Ameri
can "mestixos" for the course they
pursued, once the scheming and
treacherous Aguinaldo set himself lu
armed opposition to United States
authority, whatever reason they may
hsve believed they had before hostili
ties besan. For the government to re
cede after that event would have been
folly unpardonable and Inconceivable.
Kor was there over any reason why
we should take the backward step, al
though there have been some honest
and sincere men who took the other
view; but once the authority of the
Uniiod States was assailed and its sol
diets filed upon all discussion should
have ceased, and the duty of every
patriotic American was to stand by
his country. Not to do so was treas
onable. REASONING A PRIORI.

The Best Food
for Infants
Nature planned that infants
should have only milk for at
least the first year of life. But
thin milk, skimmed milk, will
net nourish. It's the milk that
is rich in cream, or fat, that
does the work. This is be
cause fat is positively neces
sary for the growing body.
Scon's Emulsion
contains the best fat, in the
form of Cod-Liver Oil, for all
delicate children.
They thrive greatly under Its use.

and will therefore name Senator Mc
Pride's successor, hence they will
go
into convention with tut one object in
view the election or defeat of George
McRnde. Candidates for the U-glsla
turo will not be chosen because of their
fitness to pass laws or to represent their
cor.stitutents in the legislative body
but upon the proposition whether or
not they vill vote for McBride. This
is no uncommon thing, but the rule
that has prevailed since ths state was
admitted to the Union, and which will
prevail as long as senators are elected
by the legislature, esieclally while one
party has an overwhelming majority.
ThU3 the interests of the people are
made secondary to the Interests of
set of ambitious men who want to be
I'nited States senators. Parties under
such circumstances lose sight of state
inurests in their tifurt to hoist some
favorite into ollke. After the election
and when the legislature convenes the
welfare of the people will be lost sight
of in order to defeat Mr. ilcBrlJe or
to elect him. It will be the same old
scjuabble that has been witnessed in
every biennial session for the past
quarter of a century, and the state and
the taxpayers will suffer the conse
fjntnees. These 6cjuabbles and hold
ups should cause all rlght-mlndel peo
pie to become disgusted with our antl
quated method of electing senators. It
should cause them to start In at the
primaries with a protest against the
method. Voters should Insist that the
delegates to conventions exact
pledge from all legislative nominees
that they will not support anybody
lor senator who does not agree to
work for a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of senators
by direct .-ote. In this manner the
people can take the initiative, and can
effect a reform that will to some ex
tent purify state legislatures and re
move the senatorial election frorr. the
choice of legislators.
C'ne of the Effects.
Nero fiddled while Kome burned. In
ISM the imports of the Willamette
customs district, according to the of
ficial report of the United States bu
reau of statistics, were valued at $57,
115; those for the Puget sound district
were u,.i. t.rporis ior tne same
year from the Willamette district
amounted to K3SM&S, while Puget
sound exports were only l,!t43,G81; a
difference ir. favor of Oregon on both
iTipo) ts and exports of nearly three
to one. From l'it down to the present
time, year by year, the commerce of
Washington has increased and that of
Oregon 1ms relatively declined. Every
other Pacific coast state has nearly or
quite doubled in population and trade,
but Orf-gon has langed behind. From
total Imports and exports at Puget
sound of J2,03,5."2 in U84, for the elev
en months ending November 30, 1899,
the date of the latest statistics pub
lished by the government, the total
Imports and exports of the Sound have
Increased to $1-3,766,973. The change
for the Willamette district for the
same period of time has been from
5,0JO,634, in 1884, to $6,381,201. From
1884, that is to say, to 1S99, Puget sound
has gained in yearly commerce $11,683,-
421 and the Columbia river $1,340,567.
