tone.
For whatever they do. they all do with their
might.
Why. "a thing done by halves is one never
done right;
And they gladly will urge you to tarry awhile,
And to watch them at work in true old
fashioned style.
As they knit and they spin by the candies
pale light,
You will think you not often have seen such a
sight;
But the minutes will fly as past minutes have
done.
For, the shortest hours are the happiest ones.
Then the spinning-cake passed. and some tea
offered you,
You'll regretfully say you must bid them
adieu,
And, the doors you will close on the things of
of the past.
But the mind has a picture that always will
last.
OH but leave not the house till you.sup with
the rest,
Who will claim you at once as their New
England guest,
And supper. excelling Colonial times
May be yours for the sum of just two or
three dimes.
So, forget not the hour. and the place. and the
date,
And the New England Supper and old
friends in state.
While from near. and from far. oh come
young and come old.
And now. thank you. kind reader, my story is
told

When your stomach begins to trouble you, it
needs help. The help it needs is to digest
your food. and. until it gets it. you won't have
any peace. Stomach trouble is very distress

of the most dangerous diseases begin with
simple Indigestion. The reason is that indiges
ton (not-indigestion. not-nourishmen0 aUedk-

Several matters of Importance will de-
mand the attention ofCongress without
much delay. The Hawaiian islands be.
ing now ours will come up for considera
ton as some sort Of government must
be provided,
The Philippines will not be fully a
part of the United States until the
treaty has passed the Senate. The
House has nothing to do with treaties
further than to appropriate money
when required. After the treaty shall
have been confirmed, which this will be
in all probability, legislation as to their
status and government will be in order
The last few months, by these acquisi.
tions, have brought prominently for.
ward the absolute necessity OF ship
canal by Nicaragua or Panama, which
ever route is the preferable. 1t should
be government work by all means.
The present bill subsidizing company
should be thrown aside. Our history
shows that the government is sure to be
euchred, as witness the Union Pacific
railway. General James Longstreet,
commissioner Of railroads, recommends
that the government build a double
track trans.continental road from
Kansas City to San Diego, Cal.
1t will be seen that Congress is likely
to have plenty of business. With these
and other new matters, besides the
regular and legitimate affairs, appro.
priation bills, ETC., this short session
will be busy one. The session expires
March 4 at l2 noon, go that measures to
be put through must be hurried along.
There is talk Of an extra session of the
new Congress being called by the Presi-
dent to meet in March.

THAT PHILIPPINE DEBT.

The New York Tribune thus sketches
the loans and debt of the Philippine
islands:
Down to three years or even less ago
tae Philippines were sort Of crown col.
ony of Spain. They had no such status
as Cuba enjoyed. They had no repre-
sentation in the cortes at Madrid. Their
budgets were established simply by
royal decree. They had, moreover,
practically no debt There was no rea-
son why they should have any. But in
1896 formidable insurTection occurred,
and Spain was put to great expense in
the work of suppressiug it, First, the
Spanish treasury devoted to the pur-
pose large sum taken from a Cuban
loan and charge against Cuba on the
fine principle of making one colony pay
the cost of suhjugating the her. Then
a loan was raised in Manila from the
local banks. Finally, on June 10, 1888,
the cortes authorized the grant of the
royal guarantee for so-called Philip
pine loan Of $400O0,000 at per cent.
This loan is re1eemable in 40 years, and
to such redemption ol 1t and to the pay
ment of interest on it the Madrid
government pledged first the chief re-
sources Of colonial revenue; second, the
customs, and third, the royal treasury
of Spain. 1t may be added that the
loan, even at per cent, was fioated at
discount, actually realizing only $685.
$40, ,476. 1t 10 not known that a single
peseta Of 1t WAS spent for anything but
warfare.

REOPEN The BURKE CASE.

Testimony of stabIeman Detective
Heard by Lawyers.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 29.-Judge f. E.
pellenbaugh filed a motion with the
Bar association trial committee asking
that the hearing in the Burke case be
reopened in order that the deposition of
George K. Hill, which has just been Sc.
cured, may be placed in evidence. Hill
was engaged for some time in doing de.
tectiye work in the Manning alienation
Of affections case.
The trial committee met and Hill tes
titled that prior to 1896 he was EN-.
ployed in the livery stable Of G. W.
Moon, where Burke stabbed his borse.
He said Burke told him he had entire
charge Of the Manning case. Previous
to that Hill testified he had been en-
ployed as private detective in the
Manning case, and that to the best of
his knowledge Judge Dellenbaugh did
not have any connection with it, In
rebuttal =. ". Moon denied that Hill
had ever been employed by him. The
bar trial committee will meet on Thurs.
day to formulate its report, which will
be submitted to the Bar association Sat
urday.

Besides the twenty millions to pay
Spain for the Philippines, that Ia, for
copquering Manila, the treaty requires
our government also to pay S!7, 900, 900
Of Spsin's debt to American citizens for
property destroyed prior to the declara
ton of war last April.
All this is not counting the cost after
we take possession. Mr.. Carnegie says
the cost will be hundred millions a
year, and Hsrper's Weekly in an elabo-
rate statement, puts it at $l63 900, 600
This would look like costly road to
ruin. Some Republicans may console
them selves by having good intentions.
But hell is paved with good intentions.

Governor Bradley, of kentucky, who
is an outspoken Republican, spoke his
piece the other day to a New York
journal man as to the race problem
saying that, "for more than third of a
century Of profound peace the people
of the United States have proved in
capable Of settling the race question; it
is no nearer solution now than at the
Outstt" And yet, he goes on to say,
we are row making an effort to acquire
other race problems by the annexation
Of "Malays, negroes Chinese, Japanese,
pigmies, lepers" and what not, and
thereby to assume burdens and re-
sponsibilities which will inevitably
prove onerous, expensive and exceed.
ingly dangerous. He concludes that
"In view of the rash energies being ex-
pended in this behalf abroad, there Is
NO time remaining for the settlement OF
ysxed questions Of government at home.

POINTS IN THE PRESENT PROS.
PERITY.

In the decline of prices of late years
debts have not fallen Herewith, and
there is the hardship. Taxes, which are
debts, have increased rather than di-
minished. And yet, according to some
people, this is prosperity.
These same people who proclaim
prosperity, poiut, among other things
to the increase of our exports Of manu-
tactured goods, from sl5S. 900, 900 In
1893, to $2Ss. 900, 900 in 1893. But they
do not refer to the narrowing Of the
market at home in consequence of the
fall in prices and wages. This increase
in foreign, is at the expense OF home
trade.
Undoubtedly employers have suffered
with the wage earuers, and the fund.
holders have had the continuous pros
perity and been able to revel in his
gains and squsnder their surplus. But
this reveling as tiken place largely be-
yond our limits. Surely, every Ameri-
can citiz N knows Of all this, for blind
must he be who Is not aware of it all.
In working on foreign orders we hear
of establishments where the workmen
are paid less than when working on
home work. The claim is that the
foreign order has to be taken lower, and
the men rather than stop the mill snd
be out of work, consent to cut. This,
it seems, is the case in one of the large
locomotive works and in some shoe
factories. And this is part of the pres.
ent prosperity,

Return Home.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. - Tho war de,
partment, in view of the assurances
that peace treaty will be signed, is ar
ranging 10 muster out more troops. II
is probable that from $4,000 to 40, ,O0O
volunteers will be mustered ont as soon

There has been quite demand for the
return of volunteers from Manila, but
no troops will be brought from the
Philippines unless they are replaced by
others.
With the acceptance Of the American
terms by the Spanish commissioners,
any further possibilities of renewal of
hostilities with Spain is at an end and
the only necessity now for troops is &C.
garrison the islands and preserve the
peace of our new possessions. It is
probable that the $4,000 or 10000 men
mustered out will include large mum.

the force at Manila will be reduced
