The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-10-13

Colonel Bill KilgOur, the silver
tongued orator and rhetorican of
Montgomery, has gone to West Vir-
ginia to take the stump for the dem
Ocratic candidates for Congress. This
is an event of more than passing note,
and poignant commentary, upon
certain phases of the political cam
paign in Maryland. Why is Colonel
at this moment of anxiety in the cam
paign in his own loved and oft-apoth-
eOsized State, allowed to go over the
mountains and expend his eloquence
at Miracles Run, Ok Bow, Long
Reach, Lone Cedar, Sycamore and
Grass Lick? Did he become dispir-
tied at the game of hide-and- seek
played by Congressional timber at
the democratic conventions i'll the
Sixth district? and despair of being
called upon in this glorious month
of October to wake the echoes of the
Glades Of Garrett and the Middle
town Valley, of Frederick, with the
scream Of the Puissant American
Eagle and the Sweet Song of the
Dairymaid?
Candidate Poffenberger should lose
no time in recalling Colonel Bill from
Ok Bow and placing him before the
populace of Sang Run, Colonel Bills
imagery is honey and his diction as
the honeycomb. Before his COMPEL
ing eloquence the silver democrat
forgets 16 to 1, and the mind of the
goldbug ceases to dwell upon sound
money; the party is welded and indie
pendent and opposing voters brought
into the fold of Jefferson. The pur-
pie mists of long age enthrall his
auditors, and democracy, typified by
Colonel Bill as the Eagle, resumes its
sway over the ballot-box. Surely, we
have fallen upon evil days when the
democrats of Maryland open cam
paign without Colonel Bill.
Nor is this the only calamity that
has befallen the democratic stump.
If Colonel Bill is the idol and the
pride of the Western Shore, Majah
Billy Stewart is the unapproachable
and omnipotent orator of the Eastern.
Colonel Bill withdraws himself from
the State and carries his silver tongue
and his Eagle into the mountain fast
nesses of West Virginia and beside
the wooded banks of the Ohio, Majah
Billy stays at home, and there I'M
looses torrents of vituperation and
invective into the very bosom of a
faithful and long-suffering democ
cracy. Majah Billy rises superior to
all petty things. He fought for
States Rights at the head of an
Arkansas regiment on many bloody
fields, but in this crisis he refuses to
desert his matchless leader of 1896 and
the Chicago Platform.
Truly, with Colonel Bill making
tracks from the Potomac to Quiet
Dell, in Harrison county, West Vir-
ginia, dragging his Eagle with him,
and with Majah Billy declaiming all
the horrors of war of determination
against the goldbugs on the streets
of Easton, in Talbot county, Mary
land, this is a mournful time, and
saddening one, to all who hold in
vivid remembrance the oratorical
glories of MarylandHdemocracy in the
past. In the language of a justly
celebrated, if unknown, statesman,

KlOndike's Dark Side

The klondike is the hardest coun-
try on top of Gods footstool."
1t was weather beaten man, one
of the thousands lured from comfort
able homes into the search for the
pot of gold that lies at the end of the
klondike rainbow, who uttered these
emphatic words on the wharf at Vic
toria, B. c., September 70. He was
surrounded by 600 other Klondikers,
who, with him, had just landed from
the steamship Garonne, 10 days out
from st. Michaels, and of all those
who heard his words not one lifted a
voice in dissent. On the contrary,
all expressed their approval by their
looks and not a few by assertions
equally positive.

bitter disappointments of which the
people in the United States never
hear. They hear of the lucky strikes
and of the few who come back with
big wallets of gold dust, but they
never hear the story, or at least they
never hear but small part of it, of
the thousands who are suffering, al
most starving, and who can't get
even gold dust enough to bring them
back home.
There's about one chance in a
thousand of making a strike, and 40
600 men are hunting that chance. l

FOR A CABLE STATION.
Americans VIII Take Possession OF
Wake Island. I'm the Pacific Ocean.

Washington, Dec. 24.--The govern
ment has determined to hoist the flag
over another island far out in the
Pacific ocean and orders were sent out
late Friday afternoon to the com
mander of the Bennington, CaP.
Taussig, to proceed at once TO take
possession in the name of the United
States government of Wake island. 1t
is distant about 1000 miles from Nj
hau, the westernmost of the Hawaii
an islands and 1900 miles east from
Guam. 1t is almost in direct line
between these possessions of the
United States, and is admirably adapt
ed for use as a station for Pacific
cable to connect the Philippines with
Hawaii and the United States. 1t is
about three miles in length and en-
closes lagoon of salt water.
The average height of the island is
eight feet above high tide. 1t is
scarcely capable in itself of sustain
ing life, hut it is expected that a ca
bile station can be maintained with
out difficulty by the erection of a
condenser TO supply fresh water.
Some station in this locality is deemed
to be absolutely necessary to the
maintenance of a cable, and for that
reason the American peace commits
sioners at Paris endeavored to secure
one of the Caroline islands, but with
out success. Wake island is said to
he by right already American terri
tory, for in 1851 Admiral Wilkes sur
veyed the place and asserted title. It
is not inhabited, so far as known at
the present time, though in the past
some guano gatherers have temporarr
ily lived on the island.
The Bennington is now at Honolulu
and the orders to her go out by steam
er. After hoisting the flag on Wake
island she will proceed Ito Guam and
make the survey of the island which
was ordered some time ago. She has
already completed survey of Pearl
harbor, seven miles from Honolulu,
which will form the foundation of the
government plans for the enlarge
ment of the ihal'bor there and the

A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE
Services of the Americans May be
Needed to Suppress LawleSsness and
Protect Citizens of the United States
in the Besleged Town.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The admins
tration has taken steps to safeguard
American interests in the city of
Iloilo, on the island of Panay, one of
the Philippine archipelago, and a mil
itary and naval expedition is now on
its way there from Manila. Cable adj
vices were received here Monday from
Gen. Otis, commanding the military
forces in the philippines, and Admiral
Dewey, commanding the naval forces
there, showing that they are acting
in concert in the matter Gen. Otis
said he had sent two regiments and a
battery of artillery to Tloilo on army
transports, and Admiral Dewey noti-
fed the navy department that the
cruiser Baltimore had sailed from
Manila for the same place.
1t is explained that these officers are
acting upon their own discretion in
the matter and that no official advices
have been received here to Indicate
that there is any unusual lawlessness
in Iloilo. Several days ago it was re-
ported by way of Madrid that the
Spnish forces in Iloilo had been at
tackled by the insurgents and had driv-
en- them back with heavy losses, but
this report lacks official confirmation.
The United States expedition is more
in the nature of precaution, but will
take active measures for the suppress
sion of lawlessness in case the condi-
tion of affairs requires it.
Admiral Dewey is anxious for the
arrival of the Buffalo, which is now
near Malta, en- route to Manila, in or
der that he may send home number
of men whose terms of enlistment
have expired.

The so-called congress of the revo-
lutionary government of the Filipinos,
which has been in session for some
time at Malolos, has Unexpectedly ad-
journed, owing to the difficulty of for
mulating a constitution. The cabinet
of President Aguinaldo appointed at
Bacoor on July Is last and named in
the proclamation issued that day, has
resigned. Aguinaldo, who had been
at Malolos, came from there to Santa
Anna, suburb of Manila. He then
visited Paterno and now it is reported
he has gone to the old town of Cavite.
Reliable advices say that while he was
at Paterno he was indefatigalble in his
efforts to overcome the policy of the
militant faction. which is hostile to
the Americans. 1t is probable that his
influence will avail to avert trouble.

He was chatty kind of conjurer, and

Our little boy was afflicted with hip dis
ease, or bone ulcer, when he was about
three years old. He suffered severely for
year and nine months. We had seven
different doctors for him, but they could
not cure him. They took out one piece of
bone about 81 inches long, the shape of a
shoe, and one smaller piece. The hole in
his hip was about 81 inches deep, and the
sore kept running all the time. The doc
tors ordered us to keep the hole filled with
cotton, saturated with some kind Of medi-
cine. This we did, and used a probe to in
sert the cotton. We could introduce the
probe about 8! inches; and found by NOV
ing the probe about that there was large
cavity next to the bone, and we could feel
the bone with the probe. The child was
very pale, thin and weak and could not
sleep, and we had no hope of his recovery.
The treatment we gave him under the doc
tors directions did him no good We final
ly commenced using Aliens Ulcerine Salve
and it soundly and permanently cured him
in about six months. He has been well
about four years and is strong and quite
feshy,. but limps little on account of one
leg being little shorter than the other.
He is picture of health, and runs, scuffles

ing had been the matter with him. We be-
