Herald has discovered an other phase of tbo Philippine ques tion which it deems of Milllelout im portance to lie placed in Its slugged ed itorial columns It recites us a case In point the admission of Nevuda to state hoor for the purpose of securing an additional 800000 votes to keep tho ro publiean party in power and goes on to say Does any ono believe that tho repub lican party after getting the machiiieiy of the Philippine Islands in it hands woultl hesitutn to make a Mate of tho islands if it became necessary to secure a couple of electoral votes People who woultl have us bollovo that the repub lican party is alxivo that sort of thing should recall tho admission of Nevada to statehood This is u phase that few had thought of and ts worthy of profound consideration Imagine for instance these Filipinos voting to maintain u party that Is murdering and enslaving Ihoni a party that is forooiously tramp ling their freedom under foot a party that covets thoir property for their doar bloated capitalists a party that ignores all constitutional rights to gain its foul ends Just imagine this phase of this important question yo doar common people I Isut it enough to throttle you Then imagiuo these dear abused Filipinos voting to down their friends the democrats Those tireless littlo Americans who are spondlng great hunks of tlnio nud groat gobs of oratory in the preservation of the rights of a down trodden people fighting in con gross for rights those maligned Tagals uro unable to gain in tho Held Certainly tho World Heraltl must bo consistent in regaitl to ono phase or tho other Either these people of the Phil ippines aro not ho strongly aver o to American rule us has been preached or the republican party which is responsi ble for this rule need not look for the development of the now and lately dis covered phase If all tho alleged horrois in that island uro true the re publican paity wouldnt draw tho voto of a yellow dog The now phase is important and and tho World Herald containing it should bo given liberal and giatuitous distribution The oflico of mayor is a thankless position and has discouraging features Tho mayor is blamed and abused for many things beyond his control he is confronted with an end less chain of coinpluints and objections ho is hold responsible for ninny small things of which tho public at large knows nothing It is a position whore tho salary is not a consideration and tho honor of holding tho oflico is not worth tho trouble presented It is u position which should be placed in tho hands of a good mail and a representative citizen yot there aro few men who desire the ollico If a man accepts a nomination ho does so at tho sacrifico of hislesiies because it is urged upon him by friends He not only signifies u willingness to assume the burdens of til oflico because ho is convinced that it is tho duty of citionship but ho assumes tho unpleas ant situation of a factor in a muuicipal campaign Hi runs tho risk of being maligned ami abused unmercifully by partisans and sninll boro politicians and endures all the unpleasantness of a campaign tho most disagreeable in tho gift of tho people because he has every thing to lose uud nothing to gaiu Re garding tho matter in this light a city is indeed fortunate when it can secure as n candidate ono of its best and most highly respocted citizens and it is acuity that all good men owe to give him a hearty support to insure iu the future that when a good man is wanted for the position he cau bo found This is tho position in whioh Judge Robertson iB placed and for the sake of the city ho should bo glvou a magnificent voto and a clean campaign It is reported that C J Greene and John L Webster have signed a truce with Edward Hosowater to control
