Twenty Millions for What 2

The United States have forced Spain to
sell the Philippines, agreeing to pay $4,000
600 for them.
This is Il most ridiculous performance upon
the part of the Mckinley Administration.
Spain did not own or control the Philip
pines, for the insurgents had driven the Span
ish from a large part of the archipelago, and
in time would have destroyed every vestige
of Spanish authority.
We have agreed to buy from Spain for
$4,000, 900 something that Spain did not
possess, and instead Of taking peaceful pos
session it is likely we have bought Il very
formidable instruction, which may cost the
United States much blood and treasure to
subdue.

The Storm in the West.

OMAHA, NEB., November 28.-Snow has
been falling the past "a hours throughout Ne
braska This, combined with the fall of last
week, leaves heavy blanket over the state.
The indications for winter wheat are very
much improved as result of this condition.
TACOMA, WASH, November 28.-Thous-
ands of sheep are imprisoned in the noun
tains near Pendleton, Ore. Three feet of
snow has fallen in the foothills there, and the
sheep cannot get through it to the valleys be-
low. This situation results from the fact that
the sheep men have kept their sheep on the
mountain ranges as long as possible on ac-
count of the dryness and lack of grass out
side. Unless chinook winds blow and melt
the snow, sheep men will be unable to bring
their sheep ont without heavy loss.

Meeting Of Congress.

Congress will meet in regular session on
Monday next. 1t will be the last session OF
this Congress and the session will end on the
4th of March next.
The Presidents message is expected on
Monday, but there has not been much specu
lation as to its probable contents, except that
it will be largely devoted to the late war with
Spain and the peace negotiations.
Influential Congressman who have arrived
in Washington do not anticipate much legs,
lation beyond the passage of the regular APP
preparation and deficiency bills, but the ses.
sion is likely to prove quite an exciting one.

Storm in Colorado.

DENVER, Gel, Nov. 39.-Advices received
here are to the effect that the storm south
and west of Denver is the worst known in
years At Como the snow is between two
and three feet deep, and between Como and
Leadvlle, and as far as Gunnson, 10 feet of
snow has fallen. The south Park road is
tied up and trains on the Denver and Rio
Grande are greatly delayed. Snow slides are
reported on all roads.

For the Democratic Advocate

One would imagine that every one who
wishes to be considered good Christian and
lawabiding citizen, would have the snow re-
moved from the sidewalks at the earliest pos
sible convenience, especial on the south side
of this city, or if it is impossible to remove it,
for sweet charity sake sprinkle ashes or saw
dust over the frozen parts. sob for the rar-
ity of Christian Charity in this cold bleak
town. TMID WAYFARER.

Some Political Transactions in Mary

The ADVOCATE is in receipt, with the compliments
of Hon. A. Leo Knott, a handsomely printed and
bound volume, containing a biographical sketch of
Mr. Knott, together with history of the re-Organ-
ization of the Democratic party in Maryland after
the division of 1860. Mr.. Knott was a prominent
figure in every movement looking to the re-organi-
zaton of the party; foremost in the struggle to
get back the right of suffrage and leader i'll
the effort that resulted i'll the redemption of the
state from the clutches of the extreme, radical Re-
publicans who denominated all who were not with
them as ''rebels' and TRAITORS" even those con-
sentative Republicans like Gov. Swami, Col E. II.
Webster. John " L. Findlay Gen. John W. Horn,
Gen. John s. Berry, Charles L. Phelps and others,
who though standing by the federal government
through the four years of war; believed that the
should be removed
The book is very interesting throughout and re-
calls many instances of oppression, outrage and in
dignity upon the best citizens of this state by set
of fanatics and scalawags upheld by the Federal
government and Federal bayonets. Ofcourse much
must be allowed for the excitement and passion of
the times but the extreme Republicans went be-
yond all liberation. The Democrats and conserva-
tive citizens resolved to throw off the yoke and the
history of their struggle is entertanly related i'll
the biography of Mr.. Knott Were the book printed
pie now it would be a powerful lever in redeeming
the state second time. Maryland is not in the
clutches of the same men as lead in the sixties-a
weak and corrupt administration of affairs now af
