AN ILLINOIS regiment was to have
been shipped on the vessel that brought
the 4th Ohio home, but as the votes
of its members were not deemed nee
essary to elect republican congress-
man in their district, its sailing was
postponed and the Ohio regiment, the
votes of whose members are sorely
needed to defeat the democratic can
didate in theirs, shipped in its stead.
Few men like to relinquish power, no
matter how it may have been achieved,
and those who have obtained it by i'm
proper means surely will not hesitate
to resort to such means in order to re-
tain it.

THE REPORT of the Nicarsguan canal
commission will soon be published. 1t
will state that the construction of the
canal is practicable, but will give no es-
innate of the cost OF the work. The
commission was very expensive one,
but a much cheaper one could have
made just as satisfactory report.
Nothing is inpracticable nowadays, ex.
cept the restoration of life and love, and
the avoidance of taxes, but why the
people of the whole country should be
taxed untold millions OF dollars for the
sole benefit of few Northern shipown-
ers, is what they at least cannot under
stand.

DURING DEMOCRATIC supremacy, the
voters of New York were relieved OF
the tyranny of the famous Johnny
Davenport with his iron cage; but the
republican legislature of that State has
placed over them State supervisor Of
elections, who, if that were possible, is
more UNANIMOUSLY tyrannous than Dsv-
export was, as heis now arrestiDg dem
ocrats there by the hundred, to confne
them on election day aud TO deter
others from voting on that day, though
he had warrants issued for their arrest
many days ago; and all for spite, as the
democratic police board had removed
him from the command of the police of
that CITY.

AFTER all that is said about the 81
legged effect the Spanish so-called war
has produced in obliterating sectional
lines. there is neither sense nor use IN
shutting ones eyes to the fact that no
such obliteration has occurred. That
such is the case is proved by the truth
thst there is little or no doubt that at
the election to be held tomorrow the
Southern States will go solidly demo
cratic. as, from the necessity of ths
condition. it must be-their self-pres-
ervation compels them to do so, and as
little that nearly sll those of the North
will 90 republican, not at ali from ne
cessitv, and really against the interests
of the vast majority OF their people,
but, apparently, simply and solely be-
cause the old sectional line is still as
distinct there as ever, and seems to b.
really more effective there than any
other factor in the election.

The NEGROES of Washington, though
not allowed to vote there, have appeal
ed to the President to use U. 5. troops
in North Carolina TO force their race
in that State to vote tomorrow, and
say that unless he shall do so, lawless-
ness will soon overshadow the national
capital, and "ere long the late slave
holder will call his slaves at the base
of Bunker Hill" There are few slave
holders yet alive, and it is doubtful if
any them would like to be masters again;
but it is no less true, and all the ex-
slaves know, and most of them will say,
where they cannot be heard by their
own race that their condition in slave
~ was infinitely preferable to what it
has been, and is, under the ''inestima-
BILE boon of freedom"

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Something About the Spanish Possess
sions Thnt Are Soon to Fail
Into Our Hands.

The town of Manila, which has risen
TO first Importance since the declaration of
war with Spain. is the capital of the Phil
ippine islands Just within or Just with
out its harbor will be fought, probably. the
first big naval battle of the war. and the
first sea fight between the modern war
ships of civilized nations. Old Manila Is
built on the southern shore of the Pasig
river. This portion of the town is the
walled city. Here are the administration
buildings. barracks, converts and cathcd-
rails. The frequency of earthquakes has
discouraged the erection of imposing build
ings. and even these. the most important,
are little more than picturesque. To the
north and across the river is Binondo con-
nected with the older city by a stone bridge
81 feet long. with ten large arches. This.
like the town itself. dates back into the
centuries. 1t was built In 1850, but was
reconstructed in 1874. Binondo is the center
OF trade and industry. The situation of the
town is beautiful-and by town is always
meant the two divisions. On one side is
the bay--perhaps the largest in the world.
A framework OF forest-clad mountains. be-
ginning away back of the town. declines
gently toward the shore. On another side
there is picturesque plain mounted by tho
military barracks and the promenade.

A Peace That Wns Not Peace.

The Spanish residents here criticise and
ridicule the so-called peace, and all for
eigners lament the present state of affairs,
which is daily becoming worse. If the reb-
els succeed in bringing in arms they would
soon take possession of the country, ex-
cept perhaps Manila and some other sea-
ports. which could be defended by gun
boats. The coasts are well watched to
avoid this, but the Philippine fleet of eight
cruisers, twenty-three gunboats and four
transports are insufficient for guarding
such long coast line. -..
The fact that the rebels have not yet
succeeded in bringing in arms and ammu-
milton Is probably due to want of funds.
Such is the present state of the country.
Yet we read in the Spanish papers that the
queen regent and court attended mass in
San Francisc lie Grande, where a solemn
Te Deum was sung as a thanksgiving for
the happy termination Of the Philippine
campaign, and the highest honor that
grateful Spain can bestow on subject
has been accorded to Captain General
Primo de Rivera for bringing about this
happy state Of things. In bygone days
the order of San Fernando was not so
easily won.

BANKS READY TO SUBSCRIBE.
Take Large Blocks of War
ROnda.

Washington, April 29.-The banks Of the
United States, especially in the West, are
said at the treasury department to be pre-
pairing to subscribe largely to the expected
issue of government 3 per cent bonds, and
Charles G. Dawes. comptroller of the cur
rency. is daily receiving from all parts of
the country requests from banks for the
immediate printing of national bank cur
purchased by them, there may be no delay
in the issuance of the currency.
AS from twenty-five to thirty days delay
is ordinarily required for the preparation
of currency after the purchase of bonds
and notification to the government by
banks of their currency requirements. the
comptroller, for the purpose of encour-
aging subscriptions to the new issue OF
government bonds, announces that cur
rency will now be prepared for banks no.
tifying him of an intention to subscribe
to any new issue of bonds which may be
made by the government. Under this ar
rangement the currency will be issued by
the government without delay, upon the re-
ceipt from the banks of the new issue of
government bonds as security.
Eight prominent national banks already
have made a tender of their services in
placing the new loan without compensa-
ton. -.I~l
Washington. April 29.-(Special) The Cit
liens National bank, Of Kansas City, Mo-,
and the First National bank. Of Hutchin-
son. Kas., in anticipation of a government
loan, have offered their services to the
treasury in placing the same. Neither bank
states whether its offer is without COM
pensation, as number of national banks
have done.
