The Philippine White Elephant.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch Qnd Rep,

The money that would be spent in con-
quering and garrisoning the Philippines,
and crushing out the desire of the nations
for self-government. could, if expended in
improving the internal waterways of this
country increase our home trade 100 per
cent A years cost of maintaining an
army on the other side of the world, If
expended in irrigating the arid lands of
the West. would add millions of acres to
our productive territory. A single million
honestly spent at home would yield the
people of the United States more real
benefit than score of millions spent in
military conquest in the East.
The United States can, by treating the
Philippine people with ordinary fairness,
increase its trade with them. But the
talk OF building up great commercial
base there is humbug. What is sought for
by the policy Of conquest Is to provide
posts for ambitious commanders, and fat
2ickings for politicians in search of jobs

The Louisiana sugar season win begin
in a week or two. The New Orleans Plea
yune says the outlook is for large crop,
and probably fair price for it, The al
ternaIing heavy rains and bright sun
shine Of the past few weeks have made
the cane grow rapidly, so that now the
fields show tonnage above the aver
age. The acreage that will be harvested
this season is considerably larger than
was that of last season. Some dement's are
expected to accrue to the sugar growers
from the fight that is now on between the
Arbuckles and the Sugar Trust There
will be two great purchasers in the mar
ket, and when there is such competition,
the producer has right to look forward
to getting better prices.

DR.. Parkhurst and his band of reform
ers are said to threaten the success of
the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt for
the governorship of New York. 1t seems
that the principal objection which the re-
formers have TO Roosevelt is the fact that

There seems to be no doubt in New York
that John Jacob Aston viii be nominated
and elected to Congress from what Is To-
eaily known as the Murray Hill district"
He has had some political ambition for
some time, but rea1zed that his wealth
would prove a barrier rather than an aid
IN his progress toYards Washington. His
war services, however are believed TO have
removed that objection on the part of the
voters. Some years ago his cousin, VIII
liam Waldorf Aston, made a race for Con-
gress as the representative of that dis
trict, but was defeated by Roswell P.
Flower. Many persons think that the de-
feat largely Influenced Mr.. Astor to expa-
triate himself. since he removed to Eng
land shortly afterwards.

From the chicago Commercial Dem.)

That Democratic provision of the consti-
tuition of the United States which provides
that Congress shall make no law respect
ing the establishment of religion or pro-
hibitng the free exercise thereof is of the
highest practical utility; valuable to the
people in their political character; valua-
ble no less to the various denominations
free under its provisions to worship as
they see flt
ton is that our government shall see that
taxes raised for the church establishment
are abolished in toto. They must not be
levied at all to be diverted to some other
purpose.

Chief Two oots-standing-T Together, of
the Tuscaroras, of Upper New York, is
in trouble with the leading men of his
tribe. He is an advance advocate of wo-
mans rights. and is in favor of giving the
women of the tribe all of the rights and
privileges that are enjoyed by the men.
The other leading men of the tribe look
upon this effort to raise the squaw to a
social level with her erstwhile lord and
master as an outrage upon Indian precept
and tradition. Chief Two-Boots-etc says
the men are afraid of the women; and
thus the fight is on.

LIVELY POLITICS IN CONNECTICUT.

LIVELY POLITICS IN CONNECTICUT.
The Democrats of Connecticut haven't
had so lively a political convention for
many day as that which they held last
Wednesday to nominate a state ticket
The whole trouble was over the question
of indorsing the national platform of 1896
The committee on resolutions reported on
the money question as follows THE De-
mocracy of Connecticut is now, as 1t has
ever been, in favor of bimetallsm, as
enunciated by Jefferson, affording as it
does, the most stable standard of value
and we declare ourselves opposed 10 mon
ometaliism of any kind" The minority
report on the same subject simply re-
affirmed the platform of principles adopt
ed by the last national Democratic con-
vention.
Then there was a very hot fight which
lasted pretty nearly all day. From the
accounts of it in the Northern papers it
was much like the fights the Republicans
in the South used to have in
their conventions during the days
of carpet bag rule. Silver appeared to
have great many warm friends, but
they were in the minority and conse-
quently. the silver banner went down In
defeat when the vote was taken.
IL is difficult to tell whether silver has
gained or lost ground in the North since
the last national election. 1t is giving the
Democrats of New York great deal of
trouble just now 1t threatens to intro
duce dissensions in the Democratic camp
in that state to such an extent this fall
as to make it doubtful whether an ac-
ceptable platform can be adopted and a
strong ticket nominated. However, Mr.
Croker is working to harmonic the silver
ties and the oddities, and. it is said, with
a fair prospect of success.

From the New. York Commercial ando.

Reports of damage to the cotton crop
in Georgia, together with a rainfall in
Texas, are less significant with respect to
a change in the probable outturn of cot
ton than have been anticipated. Mr.. H.
NJ. Neil OF NeiIi Bros New Orleans
house wires to the editor of the New
York Commercial that the cotton crop in
the Atlantic states is recovering from the
injury caused by the excessive rainfall
during August and that it now promises
well. In the Gulf states the weather dur
ing August and September has been very
favorable, while in Texas, which raises
almost one-third of the entire crop, the
late and present Sept 2O) rainfall assures
a bountiful cuttlirn

transferred TO the Stars and Stripes. La

pose of bringing the vessels inside of the
law which permits only American vessels
TO- engage in trade between American
ports. Vessel owners in the Philippines
evidently expect that the island will be-
come American territory.

FUSION IN LIBERTY COUNTY.

The Democrats and Populists in Liberty
county have Joined hands for the purpose
of electing member of the legislature
from that county. They don't love each
other any better now probably than they
did year ago. but they feel that the best
interests of the county require the cleo
ton of white man TO the legislature.
Therefore they have put aside the parti-
san feeling which separated them and
stand shoulder to shoulder for the public
good. Government by white men is regard
ed as being of more importance to them
than the keeping alive of a bitter part
san feeling.
Cannot the Popullsts of the Eleventh
Congressional district learn something
from this action of the Populists of Liberty
county? The Republican candidate
for Congress IN that district
is, of course white man,
but the fusion of the Popudsts and
Republicans there is a step towards open
ing the way for negroes to get into office
in this state. If the Republicans help the
Populists in their efforts to get state and
county offices this year they viii expect the
get state and county offices two years
hence.
The Populists of Liberty county have
seen the danger of aiding the Republicans
either directly or indirectly, and if the
Eleventh district Popu9ists are sincere in
their efforts to promote the best interests
of the state they will have nothing to do
with the fusion agreement which their
leaders have made with the Republicans
These Populist leaders, there is reason to
think, care more for the success of their
political schemes than they do for Popu-
hsm. If they cared for Populism they
would not assist in sending a Republican
TO Congress. Therefore the Populists of the
district are under no obligation to support
the fusion movement We feel sure that
there are few, If any, of them who would
not regret seeing negroes in office in Geor-
gia. The Republican party in this state
means the negroes. There are very few
white Republicans. In the Eleventh district
they are hard to find. If therefore the Pop
uhsts of the Eleventh support Republic
can for Congress they viii practically say
that they have no objection to seeing the
state turned over to the negroes.

There is at present." says the New
York journal of Commerce, IAN unusually
heavy movement of canned fruit and veg
etables to Southern points. 1t is ex-
pected that 100000 cases will be shipped
within a short time" There is absolutely
no valid reason why it should be neces-
sary to ship a single case of canned fruits
and vegetables from the North into the
South to supply the demand. We have in
the South the finest soil and climate in
the world for raising fruits and vegeta-
bles, and for a part of the year we have
these products in superabundance to sell
TO the North. The South is capable of
furnishing the United States with all of
the fruits and vegetables that they can
consume, both fresh and canned, and the
South should make an effort to do 1t.
There is no sense in sending North every
year hundreds of thousands of dollars to
pay for canned products which we could
ourselves supply if we only would do it.

"A peculiar surgical opera ton was per-
formed in Monroe, La, recently, says the
New Orleans Picayune. Capt. Myatt OF
that place was a member of the Thirty
first Louisiana Regiment, and was in
Vcksburg at the time of the siege, where
he received a Federal mimic bali in his
right eye during the month of June, 1864
From that time until last week the bullet
has remained in his head despite the eff
forts of physicians to remove it, He was
standing behind the breastWorks when hit
The bullet came through the earthworks
before hitting him, and thus a great dea;
of its force was lost He was sent to the
hospital where he remained until July 10
when he came nome. While in the hospi-
tai, after the surrender, he was attended
by some of the best surgeons in the Fed
eral army, all of whom asserted that the
ball had gone too far into the back of the
head to be got out. While the captain
has suffered much, he has attended to his
mercantile and planting interests The
manner in which the bullet was located
was purely accidental Capt. Myatt was
suffering from toothache, and called on
DR.. C. B. Johnston, to have him pull the
tooth, which was giving him considerable
pain. On closer examination DIR. John
ston found 1t was not tooth. but a
leaden bullet, that was causing all the
trouble. He called in Drs. Brewer and
Faulk. physicians who made the same
diagnosis of the case as he himself had
made. Capt. Wyatt refused to be put
under the influence of anestheties and the
dentist undertook to drill the BAN out,
and after several sittings succeeded in ex-
tracing the bullet. The bullet after en-
tering had turned down at right angles
and came under the eye, whence 1t had
gradually worked its way down to the i3u
