1t is'alleged that while there may be
general opposition in the East TO the per.
manent holding of gthe Philippines the
West is af1ame in favor of that disposition
OF them. This is the same old story. Be-
fore the war began we were told that op-
position to it was confined to the East,
that the West and South were almost to a
man for it. Yet a person who journeyed
West in search of this sentiment always
failed to find 1t. The same was true of
the South. AS the South and West are
loudly protesting against their volunteers
being sent to garrison Santiago and other
Cuban cities it seems hardly probable that
they are likely to advocate a policy that
will take many Of their sons to q perma-
nent residence in Manila, 10000 miles
away, in a climate as bad as Cuba's, and
surrounded byia population far worse.
On the Pacific coast there is undoubtedly
considerable sentiment in favor of the
permanent occupation of the Philippines,
because of the impression that it will
be commercially advantageous to th at
section, but we doubt if much of that
sentiment can be, found anywhere else,
except among classes who see or think
they see some personal profit in it.

Old Hunter Tells the Difference Between
Buffalo Herd in His Day and One Now.

Gazing on the scraggy remnants of
buffalo in an Enclosure at Glen Island,
Colorado tourist in the East said:
"They are buffaloes, don't dispute
that, but they are not the kind that us ed
to make the West looked like moving sea
l reckon you have read good deal about
extinct buffalo. Ten years ago heard
that the last buffalo had been killed-the
last not in captivity. But the buffalo,
like the Indian, dies hard. And I read
about the last Indian long before began
shedding my hair.
"There is herd of buffalo in Colorado
that has been knocking about for thirty
years at least, and man in that STAGE
who has made buffalo ailife study tells me
he knows of two herds. In 1865 there
was a big herd in the country known as
Middle Park. AS the country was settled
BY whites the buffalo fell back. Hunters
followed that herd to Milk river, but in
the winter of 1875 the weather was so Sc
we're that the hunters gave up the chase.
That was the great snow winter in Colo.
RADIO. The snow was so deep that buffalo
couldn't get around That's an actual
fact. But it never gets too deep for In
dams Th at winter band OF Indians
went after the sbuffalo and killed more
than could be brought away. Next spring
a lot of whites went out and got rthe tai
low from the dead buffalo and mae
money out of it,
1.-THE white hunters brought back the
news that the Indians had killed every
buffalo in the herd But that was like
other buffalo stories. A few weeks later
herd was found on the headwaters OF
Troublesome river. 1t was part of the
herd which was snowbound. White hunt
ers killed some of this herd and brought
the meat to market and got into trouble
for it, because there is a law against
killing buffalo in Colorado. This law
operates against white man, but An
Indian can hunt and kill anything he
likes and the law never touches him.
"1he last man / saw who had seen
buffalo in Colorado told me that he had
coun ted ten buffaloes up on the North
Park Slope. That was four years ago
Think Of It'll He had seen buffalo because
he had counted 'em. len of en-
l wonder what he would "a thought If
he had seen $50. 600 in q herd. And can
remem Der the time when it took 10. 900
to m AXE q herd. But never again will
any man see such a herd. When buffalo
herds get scattered they don't even multi
ply."

CoNcERNING THE PHILIPPINES.

There are many assumptions in regard
to the Philippines that are not in accord
with the facts, but which, nevertheless,
favor of the permanent holding OF those
islands by the United States. 1t is said
that it would be wicked for us to give
them back to Spain. This assumes that
we hold them now. AS matter of fact
we do nothing of the kind. We hold Ma
Mia bay, Cavite and perhaps the city OF
Manila. This is by no means equivalent
to holding the Philippines, which consist
of many hundred islands, some of them
large and densely populated. The pos
session of Manila gives us vantage
ground for sci zing them, but we might
have to do considerable fighting before
they were actually in our possession. 1t
is by no means certain that the natives
would welcome our occupation, and il
they did not, they would be able to make
o good deal of trouble for us as they have
for the Spaniards.
1t is assumed by the advocates of per-
manent occupation that the government
we should give the Filipinos would be
so much better than that they have had
under Spanish rule that we should have
little or no trouble with them. But their
ideas of good government may be v,ry
different from ours, most likely are. and
they may not be suited by what we give
them. If they are not then we shall have
to govern them by force. Evidently AID.
miral Dewey, who knows more about the
situation there than anybody else, does
not anticipate that the natives will be
very eager to accept the blessings which
we are proposing to shower on them, with
out questioning, else he would not have
expressed tho opinion that an army of
$50, 900 men would be needed to hold
these islands and keep their population
in order.
Perhaps the f1imsiest assumption is
Senator Foraker's that because we were
allowed to get foot-hold in the islands
therefore Providence intended for us to
hold them. That sort of inferring would
convict us Of defying Providence by not
holding on to Mexico for we got very
much of foothold in that country.

The greatest claims for S.S.S. (Swift's
Specifc) are made by those whom it has
cured, and after all the most valuable
reputation is one which 10 given by those
who speak from experience. We could
publish page of what We claim S.S,S.
will do, but the people prefer to read
of what 1t has done, and hence we give
the testimony of reputable, well-known
people in different parts of the country,
who gladly tell of how S.S.S. has cured
them of blood diseases, after trying
other treatment in vain.
No wonder S.S.S. has such staunch
friends. The experience of those who
take it to-day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found it the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
and cannot be cured by one medicine
in dozen which claims to cure them;
so when S.S.S. is taken with satisfactory
results, after disappointing expert
ence with other remedies, it is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

Mr.. William Sewers, of Bradford, Ohio,
was cured by S.S.S. ten years ago OF a
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
~ had terrible blood disease which
is considered incurable, and was treated
for long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get frmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
~ changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood REM
edy on the market, VII II the slightest
benefit. After five years of treatment
which did me no good whatever, was
induced to try S.S.S. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case, for in
lew months was entirely cured and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
/ could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet APP
peared."
S.S.S. is sure cure for Cancer. Ca

blood diseases, which other remedies
have no effect whatever upon. 1t is

A COLONIAL SPANIARD.
Spanish Ambassador a Century Ago
and His Marriage to Miss Mexican.

Mr.. Thomas Mexican Metre of
Baltimore, writes as follows:
In 1896 the country was just re-
covering from the revolutionary
struggle, and society was never gayer
than nj that time. 1t was during
Washington's administration and
Philadelphia was then the capital.
The dinner was given in June by a
resident of Arch street, whose name
is not mentioned, but suspected to
be General Washington. Among the
first to arrive was Chief Justice Nc
kean accompanied by his lovely
daughter, Miss Sally Mexican. Miss
Mexican had many admirers, but her
heart was still her own. The next
TO arrive was Senior Don Carlos Mar
ttneZ de Irujo, stranger to almost
all the guests. He was soon lost in
amazement nj the grace and beauty
Of Miss Mexican. They We're mar
ried April 10. 1898. Senior Don Carlos
Martinez de Yruio y Tacon was born
at Cartagena, Spain, December 4,
1863. In 1896 he was appointed his
Catholic maiesty's envoy eXtraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary
near the government OF the United
States, In March, 1877, President
Adams was iuaugurated. A con-
temporary describing the ceremonies
mentions Senior MARITIME de Yrujo
rs follows:
He was OF middle size. of round
person, norid complexion, and hail
powdered like SNOWFALL: dark
striped silk coat, lined with satin;
white walstcoat, black silk hreeches
white silk stockings, shoes and
buckles He had by his side an
elegant hilted small-sword and his
chapeau, tipped with white feathers,
under his arm. In Jeiferson's domes-
