The Philippine InsurrectiOn.

The latest reports from the Philip
pine Islands represent the Instruction
there as rapidly spreading. The insur-
gents are estimated at fifty thousand,
and they have been reinforced by de-
serters from the native troops. The
Spanish captain-general has been
obliged to withdraw the garrisons from
the smaller islands, and to concentrate
them on the island of Luzon for the de-
tense of the city of Manila, the SUBJ
urbs of which have been repeatedly
raided by insurgent bands. Spain has
sand more troops, and until these REIN
forcements have reached the islands no
extensive operations against the rebels
are probable.-Ex.

Never has the impression which the
sight of Napoleon made upon me at the
moment when destiny was about to pro-
ounce between the world and him
ceased to be present to me; his look,
once so formidable and piercing, had
lost it's strength and ever its steadi-
ness; his face, which / had often seen,
now beaming in kindness, now nodded
in bronze, had lost all expression and
all it's forcible character; his mouth,
compressed, contained non Of its
ancient witchery; his very head no
longer had the pose which used to
characterize the conquerer of the
world. and his gait was as perplexing
as his demeanor and gestures were un-
decided. Everything about him seemed
to have lost its nature and to be brok-
en- up; the ordinary pallor of his skin
was replaced by a stronger pronounced
greenish tinge which struck me."-Mes

Exhaustion Of Natural Gas.

Recent statistics show that the sup
ply of natural gas in the United States
fell off one-half from 1888 to 1895. The
decline has been less in Ohio and In
diana than In Pennsylvania, the prod
uct in the last-named state being worth
more than nineteen million dollars in
1888, and less than six million dollars
in 1895. Owing to the adoption of less

Germany, and not a few from other
parts OF the world, the United States
included. 1t Is an event to witness
his reception OF them, the homage they
oner him, which Is so evidently In great
part personal, for II is no longer as II
he were the all-powerful minister and
ruler Of Germany. These pilgrimages
are honorable to human nature and
especially to German human nature.
But what struck me especially in such
OF these demonstrations as I have seen
was the mood in which Prince Bis
marck received them. To him they
were tokens of friendship: he clearly
liked to think of these strangers as
friends. Some of them had been his
comrades in the battlefield, or the
senate house. You saw how fraternal
was the feeling with which he grasped
their hands. The light came into his
eyes. and | have seen tears come into
theirs. There was between them a tie
which both recognized, and 1t was be-

In 1894 the East won i46 games and

McKinl law our imports of agricul-
tural products were $51, 000.0 900. In the

cultural imports reached $l07. 900, an
increase of s56.O00,000. During the last
year Of the Mckinley law American
farm products were exported to the
amount of $371, 100000. During the first
year of the Wilson law only 1901. 900, 009
were exported, loss Of $40, 100000.
In other words, the Wilson tariff bill,
in the very first year of its existence.
decreased the foreign market for
American farm products to the amount
of SIC, 900 900, and enabled foreign farm
crs to sell $4,000, 600 more of their pro-
ducts in our own home market-the

A government is not a producer Of
wealth; it is simply an agent of the
people for it's distribution in the main
tenance of law and social order. 1t is
essentially a consumer. Whatever
favors it bestows upon one class of its
citizens, it does at the expense of all cf
them Where will the immense profit
the Silver Trust hopes to- secure if a
free coinage law is enacted come from?
The answer is simple,--from the pock-
cts and the lives OF the rest of the
American people. There is absolutely
nowhere else it can come from 1t will
come from the wage Garner, from the
pensioner. from the little savings in
savings banks, trust and insurance
companies, from the wreck and ruin
of industrial enterprises, from the in
creased price of the necessities Of life;
in short, from the busy millions all over

reach with debased and deprecated

This latter seems to US the only sen-

the most of those Democrats last fall.

some threw away their votes. Mon

Democrats who voted for Mr.. McKin-
ley were not deceived. Indeed IL dis

The Southern senators VINO voted for
a duty on raw cotton declared they
could do so and still remain loyal TO
the Chicago platform. Surely in vot-
ing for Mr.. Mckinley or for the Re
publican candidate on Monday, the
sound money Democrats win be equal
ly consistent, to say the least. They
are men, not children, men who think
for themselves without saying by your
leave to William Jennings Bryan or any
other ghost dancer. Accordingly we
must wait to learn what the sound
money Democrats Of this congressional
district have decided to do.
