Pot l'resident WILLIAM H'RIXLCY, Of Ohio. Por Vice-President THEODORE' ROOSEVELT, Of New York. By the refusal of the West Shore Mills Company to grant the city lights for one year, persisted In for the last four months, the sum of $1300, at least, has been saved to the city, and it Is now enabled to pet Its lights at about what The Astorian has maintained was the correct figure, or little more than $4.30 each per month for the year fol lowing the expiration of the former contract. The citixens of Astoria will be grateful to the West Shore Mills Company for their persistent stand whereby the city has been saved so muh needless expenditure, as well as for their submission now when the sea son Is approaching in which the lights will be really needed. During the year for which the new contract Is made the water commission will have ample time in which to make arrangements for the establishment of a municipal light ing system. The commission have not ceased their investigations of munici pal lighting as established elsewhere, and will he prepared to profit by the experience of cities where It has been thoroughly tried. x ENGLAND A3 A CIVILIZER. It is reported that the pastor of one of Astoria's churches stated from his pulpit on Sunday evening last that he was glad to see the English absorbing large areas of foreign territory because they carried with them a purer clvilira tlon than do we Americans, who take too much whiskey with us. The reverend gentleman has evident ly forgotten the opium war, the most disgraceful crime ever perpetrated by a60-called Christian nation, which re sulted In the permanent debauchery and degradation of the most populous na tion on the face of the globe. The British government has always depended upon the opium traffic for Its revenue from its East Indian posses sions, and when the Chinese govern ment refused to allow the Importation of that fearfully degrading drug, and Imperial Commissioner Liu, on April 3. 139. at the port of Canton, destroyed 20.3S3 chests, wrongfully smuggled in by the British, the infamous opium war was the result. The purer morality and undoubted right of the Chinese govern ment to proteat Its people against this Cdrse, thrust upon them without their consent, were thwarted by British might, and. today, as an evidence of the wonderful civilizing effect of British intercourse with China, the stench of opium pollutes the air wherever a Chi naman is fouund. Another evidence of the purity of British civilizatlrn may he found in the fact that one-third of all Its agents In India, the British soldiers, are admitted annually to hosritals for treatment for venereal diseases. "GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.," In a leading article in the Sunday Oregnnlan the editor wanders far from the facts in an answer to an editorial In the Eugene Guard. Without sympa thizing with the Guard, we see no reason for falsifying facts In order to answer Its arguments. America can afford to let the Filipino have what Httl credit belongs to him. A recogni tion, instead of a wholesale denial, of well-known facts would have added strength to the Oregonian'g position Tlthout in any sense reflecting upon the policy which the republican party has, in Its wisdom, seen fit to pursue. The Oregonlan states that "there was no war lit the Philippines when Dewey came." In a letter written by Mr. Willllam, the United States consul-general at Manila, under date of March 19, 1S98, some weeks before Dew ey's arrival, were the following state ments: ' ' "Rebellion never more threatening to Spain. Rebels getting arms, money, and friends, and they outnumber the Spaniards, resident and soldiery, prob ably a hundred to one." On March -1st he wrote: "Now five thousand armed rebels, which for days have been In camp near Manila and have been reinforced from the mountains, plan to attack the city tonight. All is excltem.'nt, and life un certain." Referring to fighting then in progress. cn the d ime date he wrote: "The British shipmaster there tCape Balinao) at the time reports about for ty killed and forty wounded. After surrender the Spanish put the deod and wound vl together in a house, and, by burning, cremated all." Again, the Orvgonlan states that "'Aguinaldo applied for permission to come over and help in the organlza tion of a native militia." and that "In making this request Aguinaldo did not ask for Independence." The facts are that he did ask for exactly that. independence under American protec tion. as can be easily proven by copies of the Singapore Free Press of the middle and latter part of April. On May M. about the time of Agulnaldo's arrival In the Philippines, Consul General Pratt, of Singapore, sent to Secretary Day a manifesto of the' Fil ipinos, beginning as follows: "Compatriots: Divine Providence is about to place Independence within our reach." This was not promised to Aguinaldo, for no one had the authority to give him any such assurance, but he expected It because we had adopted that policy for Cuba. The Oregonian also states that, "in fact, the Filipinos rendered us no ac tual service. Troops soon arrived from the United States, who did the land fighting." On this point we refer the Oregonian to senate document No. 62, ragi 491. on which, speaking of the Filipinos' services In "driving the Span lards from Cavite, twenty odd miles In to the defences of Manila." General Whittier Is reported as saying: "All the success was on the natives' side, and the Spaniards surrendered between 7.000 and S,000 men well armed, with plenty of ammunition and in good condition." On page 499 General Whittier is quot ed as saying: "Jaudenes, the acting captain-general in reply to Merrltt and Dewey's no tice to remove his non-ccmbatants, acknowledged that the insurrectionists surrounded the city, and that he could not remove women, children, etc., out. His fear and solicitude about the na tives entei ing the city when I received the surrender of the city were almost painful to witness. This admission demonstrates, as well, the military ability shown by the Filipinos." When asked by Senator Frye whether the Filipinos had been of material as sistance to us. General Whittier Is quotad on page 501 as saying: "very groat. If the protoccl had not oeen signed i mm tr.e Spanish at home would have Insisted upon their army doing something. They dismissed Augustin because he was not disposed to fight, and I think if they had not had this experience of having been driven back into the city and the water cut off. so even that Jaudenes said he could not remove his non-combatants, the govBrnment would have Insisted on his making a fight, and he could have made a very good one, for his position was strong, If they had any fight in them at all. But EVERT PLACE HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM THEM BY THE FILIPINOS, who managed their advances and occupation of the country In an able manner." On pages 420 and 421 General Greene made the following statement concern ing the extent and effect of the opera tions of Aguinaldo'g army: ''Between 2,00" and 3.000 Spanish na tive troops surrendered to it during the months of June and July; it constantly annoyed and harassed the Spaniards In the trenches, keeping them up at night, and wearing them out with fa tigue, and it Invested Manila early In July so completely that all supplies wore cut off, and the inhabitants as well ns the Spanish troops were forced to live on horse and buffalo meat, and the Chinese population on cats and dogs. It captured the waterworks of Manila and cut off the water supply, and if It had been In the dry season would have Inflicted great suffering on the inhabitants for the lack of n-atT." Whom are we to believe, the officials on the field or the omniscient Oregon-Ian? WHITE COLLAR UNI Columbia River and Puget 8ound Nav igation Company.
