The story now is thatswe are to take
all Of the Philippines debts and all.
No one knows just what the debt is,
but it will haveto be pretty small to
be anywhere near in keeping with the
value of the territory. The more we
learn of the Philippines the less we
are inclined to cry aloud for them as
an addition to this country. It seems
that there are four or five hundred
different tribes of savages, each with a
different religious belief and vary
ing style OF dress, including everything
from a stoveplpe hat and pair Of
anklets to the regulation evening cos
tune June Of the Paris swell. Democracy is
pretty good thing, up to a certain
limit, but it looks as though we were
liable to get too much Of it in the

If the Democratic managers and
newspapers are really seeking al OPP
lportunity to make point against the
Republicans, why do they not pick out
some pledge to which the Republican
party has committed itself and which
has not been carried out? In 1896 We
predicted return Of prosperity with
the election Of Mckinley, and it is
here. In local affairs the Republican
party has never made pledge thatit
did not redeem. The administration
of the affairs Of this State is such that
it is pointed to as model by the other
states OF the Union, and many of its
laws, notably its liquor law, have been
adopted even by the bourbon Demo
cratic states Of the South. The Repub-
lican party is all right, and will con
tin 'les to be trusted BY the voters Of the
State. 5. sss755s 5 II
