It la claimed that a moeroent la on foot to brine out Don Cameron, of Penn sylvania, as an Independent candidate fcr president by the fcepubllcana of the free aUver atates of the West. In con junction with some Southern state dele gations. It Is alleged that when It Is demonstrated that the Republican party la convention assembled will not commit Itself to the free coinage of silver, there will be a bolt of the delegations from Montana. Idaho. Colorado. I'tah. Nevada and Wyoming, with the hope of further accessions, to nominate Don Cameron. afftttif Stewart confirms this report to the extent of proclaiming that "our sliver people" will support Cameron for the presidency, but this assurance Is only good for the pocket borough of Nevada. It is entirely probable, however, that the effort will be made to put up an In dependent candidate on the platform of tree silver and a low protective tariff. In the anticipation ot enlisting the mass of the Peoulists and many Democrats under thia standing as well as the silverl'e Republicans. If a free silver majority docs not con trol the Democratic convention at Chi cago, and enforce Its demands for a free sirrer plank, there Is a practical cer tainty of a bolt from the convention, and widespread Democratic revolt. This S3 ay mean an Independent Democratic candidacy in apposition to the Cleveland machine nomination, but there will doubtless be a strong effort to advance the prospect of success by compromise or combination with the Populists and free silver Republicans. So it is not beyond the range of possl bllity that Don Cameron may be the candidate of a combination of free silver men. Irrespective of party, though there will be great obstacles in the way of such a union through factional J.alou les, personal rivalries and former political antagonisms. The silver coinage Demo crats will be exceedingly loath to set up any standard except an avowed Demo cratic party standard, for old party lines are hard to break, and they are senti mentally proud of parading as the true heirs of the founder of Jeffersonian Democracy. Don Cameron will not be accepted by them except as a bitter pill, and the Populists at large will not like els leadership much better. The actual outcome of the snarl and dissension must be awaited without confident prediction. Onw hard fact, however. Is generally Ig nored by the boomers of Independent candidates. Party splits are far easier to produce In anticipation than in prac tice. Threatening factions have swal lowed crow many times before, and may do so again. If the Astoria fishermen really want to Bnd out whether Sand Island Is in Oregon er Washington, the courts are open to them. A proceeding to restrain the fish commission of Washington from granting licenses for traps would bring to issue the boundary-line question In short or der. Unfortunately, the law is not what they swn to be looking for. They would fcrttS suffered the question of concurrent Jurisdiction to remain unsettled, as here tofore, in all probability, had not the Oregon fish commission forced It Into the courts by the arrest of trapmen under the Sunday-closing law. From this source no move can be expected in the present controversy, aa such action Is not a part of duty enjoined by the stale law. The Oregon and Washington fisher men are each confident Sand Island Is on their side of the Interstate boundary. Lt them make up a friendly" Issue and take It to the United States courts. Oregonlan. It has been demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that Sand Island is In the United States, and that the power of the government exceeds that of one Mr. McGraw. For particulars see local column. The Spanish-Cuban battle at Locliuza last Tuesday, In which the Bpanlurds suffered a crushing defeat, and the los of 450 killed and 500 wounded, beside many prisoners, will open the eyes of multi tudes In the battle strength of Maceo. He and his fellow-patriots are often spoken of as Ignorant negroes, but surely they have abilities which it will not do to despise. Also, they are fighting on their own familiar and carefully chosen territory, to which may be added the truth that they are animated by a su preme and Intense love of country. Patriotism Is a terrible foe to meet on the battlefield. The presence of several hundred "de tained" Jtnlaln emigrants on Kills Island that they may be returned to Italy's sun ny clime is an object lesson for every true American cltisen. Also, the fact that these undesirables are but the van guard of some 12,000 more Is an object lesson so full of holes that the most ob tuse ought to see clear throunh the facts Involved, and demand as never before the most stringent Immigration laws. Welcome th worthy, reject the un worthy. A ministerial Kngltshman out In Ohio voted, as he boldly declared. Just to show how easily an unnaturnllsed resident can vote In America, Now he has been con victed of the offense, ami the govern ment will show him how easy It Is to estch and punish residents of his peculiar American stripe. He had better have kept out of such politics. Senator Sherman opposes the extermi nation of the seals on the ground that It Is a cruel act and Is not to be justified even though th same result Is brought about by pelagic hunters. Th measure, he thinks. Is Influenced by spite, and that Is not a good ground upon which to earn- legislation. It will be wiser. It seems to us. to wait awhile before tak ing such extreme measures. Democracy apear to have a stable full of dark horses. Judging by th chorus of "neighs. It Is superfluous to urge a fusion ot silver men In Colorado. It Is all fuse. Th subject of a national Klower has been revived In New York state. JIST1CE. Three men went out on a summer night; No care had they or aim: They dined and drank 'Kr we go home."

Councilman McGregors views on the ' Situation. Astoria. Or.. April U. ISM. Editor Dally Astorlan: I beg space In your columns for the following communication touching the controversy of hydrant rental of the new water system. All admit th efficiency and superiority of th new system as a means of fire pro tection. I admit that the expense ot maintenance of the water system should be bourne by all benefitted. Rental for hydrants by taxation will not so distribute the expense of main tenance. The greater portion of that part of the city I represent will be de prived of th poor protection It now en- Joys and receive nothing In its place. I consider their taxation for hydrant rental unjust. At fires In this locality the fire department have succeeded In getting water with the engines, where It will be Impossible for them to do so with the new water system. Tee question of hydrant rental was brought before the city council on No vember 5th, IS; said souncll shirked Its duty by referring the matter to th pres ent council, causing the water commis sion to increas rates on the consumer January 1st. IS. Being Informed by the commission that SS00O rental must be allowed by the city to insure a reduction of rates to the consumer, investigation followed. The result at such Investigation brine's me to the conclusion that the water com mission Is not managing business for the best Interests of the consumer or tax payer. The -ter commissioners nre empower ed to bvTrow on bonds VW.tWu for the construct!, n of water works; they bor rowed OO.OO. hsve spent the same, and are short of . inds to complete the water works. They refuse to Issue further bonds to const-uct the works, but on January 1. P-S6. harden the consumer by increasing water rates, and now wish to Impose on the taxpayers In a like man ner. Water rents and money from all sources have been used by the commis sion In the construction of the now sys tem. Had sufficient funds teen borrowed to construct the water works, there would have been no occasion 10 Increase water rates on the consumer, but such rates could have heen reduced In amount to equal a reasonable rental to I allow ed for fire hydrants. Thus, the burden of construction would come whtre it rightfully belongs, on the present and the future population together. Thirty-year bonds were Issued with ih's view, and the whole trouble comes in the water commission not having borrowed enough money to cover the cost of con struction. Water rents would have ac cumulated by this time to cover all neces sary extensions. The water works were constructed with the expectation of railroad population to help pay for their construction, and when such population arrives, will be plenty of time for cre ating a reserve water fund. I believe the sum of 15,000 demanded by the commission to be In excess of re qulrementa, even under the present sys tem of management: but, as I am pow erless to change the management, I may be forced to burden the taxpayer that amount for the relief of the consumer. whose water rate at present I consider extortion. In preference to the allowance of $.7Xi0 hydrant rental I should favor, first, the reduction of water rates to the old stand ard of IMPS: then the city council to make an allowance for hydrant rental equal to the deficiency caused necessary for the actual running expense of the water plant When consumers have Increased to such tecotln. I admit that the expense of rate at CO cents per month I think the city should be allowed free water. In notifying the water commission that the city council would make no allowance as rental the committee on fire and water lid so on the Instruction of the council, and I believe such steps were taken by the council to bring about negotiations Touching the saving made In the lire department, would nay that In accordance with the plans adopted by the council for re-modeling, the expense of two en gineers and repairs and fuel for two en gines will be saved, amounting to about sfNr ONE run down, jt or emaciated from any cause whatever, will be helped at once by the use of Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil and Hy pophosphites. It possesses in a peculiar sense fleshTmak ing, strength-giving ele ments. There are plenty of cases where persons have gained a pound a day by taking an ounce of Scott's Emulsion. LP The largest piece of Good tobacco ever sold for io cents 1250 per month. If the plans for th re modeling of th fire department as sug gested by th Insurance surveyor be fol lowed, the expense of maintaining the fire department would far exceed th ex pense of engine service last ye ir. 1 look for and expect a reduction In Insurance rates on whatever plan the tire depart ment may be re-modeled. In conclusion I beg to say I nm work Ing In this matter as a councilman for what I consider the best Interest of wa- ter consumer and taxpayer alike. Very Respectfully, W. F.

A curious gift has been made to the National History Museum of Hnleiia. This gift consists of a bird's nest, eon structed entirely of steel. T.'i- re nre a great many watchmakers at Soletta, and In the vicinity of the workshops ttere are always the remains of the old springs of watches, which have het-n cast aside. Last summer a watchmaker dls covered this curious bird's Mest, which had teen built In a tree In his court yard by a pair of water-wagtails. It measured ten centimetres In clrrumfer ence and Is made solely of watch springs. When the birds had fledged th-lr brood the watchmaker secured their unique nest as an Interesting proof of the in telligence of birds In adapting anything which comes within their reach.
