the North, composed OF members OF
the G. a. r. and their families, voted
the straight democratic ticket. In the
South, all men who have any real sub
stantial interest in the welfare of their
State, must, for their own sake, vot
the democratic ticket, as otherwise the
condition of the South would soon he
like that of Cuba; and negro aud scala

SPANISH PROVERBS ON WOMEN

express briefly the ideas Of the Cas-

these are some about women that do
not show a very high estimation Of the
sex, and most Of which would not apply

SILVER PARTY POLITICS..

The Silver party in this State seems
to b. in a bad way. One faction
wants fusion with the Democratic
party in the coming campaign and
the other faction will have none of it.
Each faction accu sps the other of tie
ing under the control of the railroad
and the Republican party. AS an il
lustration of the views held by the
opposing wings of the party, we pub
fish the following editorials from the
Carson Appeal and the Winnemucca
Advocate. Both are simon pure Sill

Under the caption Of "Fusion Oh
Silver Forces" the Appeal says:
"The fusion of the Silver rurces in
California must be duplicated in this
state. The two conventions Winch
meet in Reno in September must he

".he Appeal does not blame either
OF these interests in attempting to ac-
complish this result. If they succeed
the blame can only rest upon the Sill
yer Party in thus allowing itself to
be manipulated by the enemy.

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

President Mckinley has expressed himself as
opposed to this country keeping the PHILIPPINES.
He has finally agreed to leave the matter to the
"people." AS result, the boards of trade of
several large cities have passed resolutions in
favor of keeping the islands. Numerous bank
ers, politicians and jobhunters are insisting that
we keep the islands. So far as THE PEOPLE are
concerned, they have no means of making their
wishes known, aud it would do no good if they
had There is not one farmer in ten who de-
sires that we keep the Philippines
Ii we keep these islands, it will be necessary
to keep large standing army there in order to
keep down the residents of the PHILIPPINES.
Admiral Dewey says if we conclude to keep the
islands, standing army of 10000 will have
to be sent there. 1t would cost us more than
the islands will ever be worth to us. Of course
there will be plenty of Offices to fill, and that is
why so many politicians are clamoring for an,

The Business Situation.
Philadelphia, July 80.

The American, Philadelphia July 80.
In summing up the business situation on
Monday last, the Philadelphia Press rather
gloomily remarks
'The distinct pause which has COME in bust
ness is variously explained, but of it,; existence
there can be no question whatever, The stock
market is dull, in spite of much advice to buy
stocks. Grain speculation has ceased. Textile
weeklies publish pages of interviews; to explain
the dull market. Boot and shoe shipments to-
day only equal those of 1895. Tie iron and
steel trade, while very large, is "a tenth less
thau it was three months ago. With loanable
capital very cheap, exports large and imports
small, no activity is apparent at an y profit.
Cereals must average lower for the next
yeai, and cotton probably will. Wooden man
ufacture has not met the boom it anticipated,
and both wool and woolens are readjusting
prices. In cotton, permanent ly lower level
has been reached, and both the capitalization
and profits of mills have to be adiusted to it."
Thus business halts, but the Press, taking a
glance at the figures of our fore ign trade, cheer
ingly, but rather illogically, concludes that "a
great tide of prosperity is cerlain."
Also summing up the situation, and on the
same day, the Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"Business still waits the shaping of the new
trade year. We have large crops; in prospect,
bnt they are not made. We expect to get good
pric>s for cereals, but tbe basis of value has
not yet been determined. We expect the de-
moralization in railroad ates will end shortly,
but the machinery for aiding it is not yet Wis
ible. We hope for an expansion in manufac-
turing, but the immedia te tendency seems to be
in the other directionj and, finally, we look for
peace with Spain, WI ich, however, is not yet
in clear sight"

THE RICH FARMER.

Chicago trader ESQ says the Kansas City
Starr has been travelling over Kansas, and has
found the farmers so rich that they put on their
good clothes and sit around the depots. This
is an observant trader. He should be a war
correspondent, and report for yellow journal
The traders observation is not new to the
people of Kansas. Eight years ago, the farmer
sat on goods boxes, in blue overalls, and talked
politics. Behold what change! Now the
farmer has good clothes, and is promoted to the
depots. This change has all come of the far
iner going into politics.
The Lord loves independent men, and He
blessed the independent farmer in giving him
good crops. Surely the farmer is in the swim,
when the Lord, the governor and the legislature
are all on his side.

rec, ,gnized by the United States, it seems to
me they should be respected on the held OF

dom rom Spanish tyranny for half century
or mo, e. and now that the object which they
have so long fought for is in sight, they should
share in the fruits of victory. General Garcia

Kansas Troops to Manila.

CAMP MERRITT, SAN FRANCISCO, CALF,
July 3o.-The Twentieth Kansas is going to
Manila. This is now an assured fact. Cen
eral King, who is in a position to know, to-day
stated to Colonel Funston that he might assure
his men of their early departure.
This longed-for information was at once con-
veyed to the boys by Colonel Funston himself
and pandemonium reigned for no short time.
Hats without number sailed into the air, and
the shout that went up from some 1900 Jay
Fawkers' throats must have been heard in Kan
,sss CITY. Officers and men rejoice without linn
iitstion.
General Merritt to-day cabled from Manila
that he would need all the troops originally as
SIGNED to the expeditionary forces, and as re-
suit the Twentieth will embark at no distant date
on either the Tartar OF the Athenian, two large
Pacific steamers recently purchased at Seattle
and now on their way here to be converted into
transports. Each is capable of carrying full
regiment. Colonel Funston said, in response
to an inquiry, that he now felt satisfied that the
regiment would soon depart.
Lieutenant Colonel E. c. Little sha1es the
same opinion. Whether the regiment will now
remove to the Preside, the new camp mile to
the north of the present quarters, on higher or
firmer ground, is not definitely known, though
the movement had been ordered for Monday
In view of the fact that they will soon leave, it
seems hardly probable that the change will now
be made.

MCKINLEY IS RIGHT in THIS.

"The powers" of Europe have been anxious
to take a hand in settling the trouble between
America and Spain. They want to name the
terms of peace President Mckinley has been
in doubt about what course to pursue, but it is
now stated that he has concluded that the two
countries directly interested can settle their
own differences without any outside interfer-
ence. In this he is certainly right. The other
nations have no right to dictate the terms OF
peace or have anything to say about it. This
isn't their fight.
