Do We Want The PhiiipinesP.

The cry that is going up from a
great many people for the retention:
of the PHILIPPINE Islands is made
without due considerations by
many of our people. In the mat
ter OF the retention of captured ter
rltory our government should make
haste very slowly. When war was
declared by the United States it
was made part of the declaration
that 1t was not to be war for ex-
tention of territory. 1t was to he
a war for humanity, and such a
war was sacred. The war has
brought to us the island of Porto
Rico, and will eventually bring to
us Cuba. But these territories are
in the American hemisphere, and
are properly subject to government
from their own or adjacent people.
With the Philippines it is different.
They are populated by a half saw.
age population that are wholly diff
ferent from ours in every essential
that goes to make up a govern
ment. They are remote from u.s.
and would be only burden. Their
location is on the wrong side of the
Pacific. The retention of these
Asiatic islands would only emproil
us i'll endless quarrels and bicker-
ings with the European powers
that are grabbing after territory.
1t would forever tear down and de-
molish the barrer of the Monroe
doctrine, for it would stop us from
crying down European conquest in
the Americas. The horde of half
wild savages tnat go to make up
the population of these islands
would only entail an endless ex-
pense to govern. A free American
port at Manila is as far as we
should go with the Philippines.

Extra Session Talk.

1t is beginning to be quite GER
tain that there will be an extra ses-
sion of the legislature convened bv
Gov. Lord, probably in November.
Several prominent republicans of
the state who are quite close to the
governor, politically, assert that
such a session will be called. The
pretext being put forward is that
there is not time III the forty davs
Of the regular session to attend to
all of the business that will proper
ly come before the legislature. The
real object Of such an extra session
would be, however, to have a SELL
ator elected to succeed Mitchell
while Lord is yet governor, so that
he could use the influence of the
state administration in meddling
with and debating such election.
An extra session would cost the
people of the state $50, 900 and
would be of no adequate benefit.

Of Oregon Stone.

When the bids for building the
custom house at Portland were
called for it was stipulated that the
stone should come from the Snake
river quarries in Idaho. A great
cry was raised from all over Oregon
because Oregon stone bad been
Disseminated against, and so great
was the pressure brought to bear
that the department has ordered
that Oregon stone be used instead
of Idaho stone. The contractor
has been looking the field over to
select the Dest stone, and has been
inspecting the quarries of Lincoln
county.
The probabilities are that the
stone will be taken from this coun-
ty for the building. The stone at
Pioneer quarry has been fully test
ed and found to meet all the re-
quirements, and the quarry is open
and ready for the delivery of the
stone. The stone from the quar-
ries of this county will make a ST.
perior building.

YAQUINA BAY IMPROVEMENTS
Secretary AIger Says that Work VIII
Begin at Once.

Representative Tongue received
the following letter from the wal
department last Monday. It is
dated August s, and signed by
Secretary Alger:
81 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of letter signed by
yourself and Senator Mcbride and
Hon. w. R. Ellis, asking the rea-
son for delay in letting the contract
for the improvement of Yaquina
bay, Oregon, as authorized by the
river and harbor act of June, 1896.
and urging that the improvement
be begun at the earliest practicable
date. Replying thereto, I beg to
inform you that about the time the
plans for this work were approved,
May 9, 1898, the officer in charge
of the district was ordered to
report to San Francisco to
accompany the first troops to the
PHILIPPINES. He transferred his
duties to Major Fisk, who took
them additional to his own, but
who was obliged at that time to
proceed 10 the mouth OF the Colum-
bia river, where he has been for the
past two months experimenting
the construction of batteries and
arranging the submarine mine de-
fenses. AS Major Fisk has no
military assistant he has been
obliged personally to do the practi-
cal work, and has not had time to
attend to the Yaquina bay improve
ment. 1 have, however, this day
directed that the work be advertised
without further delay"

About one month ago my child.
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. 1 gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for physician and it was under
his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about
ten days and was having about
twenty-five operations of the bowels
every twelve hours, and we were
convinced that unless it soon OBJ
tain relief it would not live. Cham
berlains's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy was recommended
and 1 decided to try it. l soon

its continued use a complete cure
was brought about and it is now

BOLD BRAZENRY.
"Such things are always to be

"Such things are always to be
expected in time of war;"
These were the words uttered by
R. A. Alger, the secretary OF wal
when his attention was forcibly
called to the scandalous outrages
that had been and were still being
perpetrated by army contractors and
the horde of human scavengers that
followed in their wake. When he
was shown that the clothing con-
tractors had failed in almost every
item to live up to their contracts,
when he was shown that food con-
tractors had vilely and crimina1ly
furnished food not fit for any human
to eat, but had gotten their contract
price for frst-class supplies, when
he had been shown that transport
alton companies, medical supply
contractors and almost every con-
tractor in connection with the sup
ply and forwarding department of
the army were engaged in a huge
swlndle, and were open and bold
about it, he sneeringly and careless
ly turned it off by saying that such
things always happened in time of
war, and not a single one of these
base and unscrupulous robbers were
made to feel this displeasure or to
disgorge one cent of their gildings
and stealings. Why should they be
punished? Does anyone doubt that
there was some sort of a "stand-in"
with this execresence that occupies
the position of secretary of war?
Yes, such things are to be ex-
pected and always happen, especial
ly when men of the Alger type get
In control. But who is to be held
responsible for the lives lost by the
eating of rotten food, lack of medi-
cine, lack of clothing, lack of shell
ter, and every outrage and crime
that has been perpetrated upon our
brave boys in the Santiago cam
paien? Let tie righteous indigna-
ton of a brave and liberal people so
condemn Alger aud men of his type
that they will HiiAk into the obliv-
ion to which they belong.

the Sparis,. solder is frugal liver
his comr,iesariat allowance being
two meals a day--one at 9 A. NJ,
the other at s P. NJ. In some corps
coffee and soup are served out in
the eatly morning. Apound and a
half of bread day constitute the
government ration; any food beyond
this must be bought by the private
at the canteen. He gets a little
meat, and keeps in excellent condi-
ton on a chunk Of dry bread, a lit
tie oil and a Glove of garlic a day.
II to this he can add pint of wine
which tastes like vinegar and water
he feels perfectly happy. There is
one thing he cannot go without,

Or. Norman Kerr says that matt liquors
are one OF the main sources OF the indi.
gestion so common in our midst The
continued irritation OF the delicate lining
membrane of the stomach by the alcohol in
even the mildest beers persisted In for
heightened period. is extremely apt to give
rise to a train of dyspeptic symptoms,
which tends 70 make many an otherwise
happy life miserable. A lifetime of total
abstinence would, | am persuaded, have
warded on two-thirds OF the dyspepsia
have been called upon to confront.
The liver suffers severely in many cases
in which beer has never been taken to ex-
cess. | have frequently observed consid-
cradle enlargement Of the liver in persons
noted for their very moderate but constant
drinking, who seemed the picture OF health
while alive, but whose sudden aud unex-
pected death necessitdted a post mortem
inquiry.
In nursing stouts and beers are especi-
ally pernicious. Their use has wrought
untold mischief to many mothers and un-
dermined the tender constitution OF vast
multitude OF helpless and innocent infants.
/ have said nothing whatever of the
damage resulting from beer-drinking to
excess, or of the appalling exten. Of men
tai and normal evil inseparable from the
general social use OF beer. My warnings
are on purely scientific and dietlc grounds
against steady, limited indulgence in such
liquors as are weakening to the system,
and invite gout, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
other unhealthy bodily conditions.
There is no call for us to drink beer, how
ever moderately. We can enjoy better
health without intoxicating drinks than
with them. Our Creator neither Implanted
longing for them nor provided supply
of them for our use. They are not, in the
true sense OF the word, food. But
though they can do us little, II any, good,
they may do us much harm. Many are
killed by them, both for time and for
eternity, and even their continued moder-
ate use tends In the direction of loss of
health, lessening Of strength and shorten
ing of life.
Let us all, who desire to avoid gout,
rheumatism and dyspepsia, shun ale, beer,
porter, stout and all other kinds of fer
mented and distilled liquors.

A python twenty feet in length, that
lied in the reptile house Of the Lon
lon Geological Society last month,
vas the largest reptile ever confined
here. There is general impression
hat pythons reach length OF forty
eet or more, an absurdity made mani
est when the authorities assert that
he female Indian python still in the
tardens, and but trifie over eighteen
leet long, is the longest snake in cap
ivity of which there is any record.
seneral impressions as to the length
II these great reptiles are due TO the
,bsurd pictures that formerly decorat-
ld Biographies aud other works used
lometimes as text books, showing a
picture of a python in the act Of crush
ng and swallowing an Indian buffalo.
That was a ridiculous picture that
was the father of many Iof the "freak
journalism" pictures Of the present
lay. The London python, which was
4 real instead of fabulous reptile,
was just over twenty feet in length.
Il was obtained in Malacca, and was
presented to the society by DIR. Hamp-
.hire on August 30, 1876, and had,
therefore, lived rather more than
twenty years in England. During
that period il had been fed principally
with ducks, of which it sometimes
swallowed four or five at one meal.
It's food was offered to it once a week,
but it sometimes refused to eat for q
month together. The specimen will
be mounted for the Tring Museum.

Successful Grape Grating.

J. I. Porter, of Ohio, writes: An
old Clinton vine stood at the corner of
the woodhouse which was so vigorous
that its branches spread over every
thing within reach, but bore no fruit.
In April, 1896, 1 cut both branches off
close to the ground and grated
Delaware grape into one and an Iona
into the other. / used no wax simply
wrapped carefully with strings of
cloth, pasted little mud over the
wound and covered all with earth ex-
cept the top buds of the gratis Those
gratis made wonderful growth the
first season, owing to the far-reaching
roots of the Clinton vine. At close of
the first season the Iona vine was
about 16 feet long and the Delaware
about 70. This season, with the vines
one year old, the Delaware branch
bore twenty-four as fine lunches of
Delaware grapes as [ ever saw. The
lunches and berries were slightly
larger than the Delaware generally
grows and so compact on the stems
that they could not be picked off east
ly without beginning at the end of the
stem.
The Iona branch bore about forty
punches of Iona grapes of the finest
quality. This is a quick way of get
ting a grapevine into bearing. tried
the same experiment on wild grape
vine down in the pasture. 1t grew
just as vigorously, but an inquisitive
Jersey COW spoiled the experiment.
