FRIDAY, DEC. 22, 1899.
T he death of the brave General
Lawton is deeply regretted through
out the United States. The army
will feel his loss, as all confidence
was imposed in his judgment and
integrity.
O f the nineteen vice presidents of
the anti-imperialist league elected in
Boston, fifteen are prominent demo
crats or mugwumps and almost the
entire number opposed the war with
Spain. If Aguinaldo hears of it he
will be encouraged to keep on run-
ning, and not throw up his job just
yet. For more than a year he has
believed that one blast upon the
Anti-Imperialist League s horn was
worth a thousand men. But since
their par valve has been proven the
tagal chief should be informed, so
that he can come back to Gen. Otis
and be forgiven.
G overnor G eer has written a let
ter to the Union Scout, a paper pub
lished near his old home, in which he
denies the charge brought by Plum
mer, and explains why he has not
before taken notice of the calumnies
that few public men escape. The
people of Oregon will insist upon
Gov. Geer prosecuting Plummer in
the courts for criminal libel, and thus
forever silence him, and more fully
vindicate himself before the world.
It is true, public men are subject to
all manner of censure and villitica-
tion, but an example should be made
of those who carry their blackmail
ing schemes too far.
