SWindled.

The party representing himself
to be DR.. Mann, U. S. veterinary,
who was in this neighborhOod last
week seems to have been swim
dler. He claimed to be commits
stoned to buy horses for the army
and his mode of operation was to
agree to pay a certain price for a
horse, and then draw up a check
for a few dollars more than the
price agreed upon, stating he was
short of ready cash. The victim
would pay him the difference and
was to keep the horse for a few
days, or until the check was found
to be 0. X. Several parties in the
community bit and are out a few
dollars each.

Senators Elkins and Hanna are

Looks Like War,

The news from Congress up t.
Wednesday night looked more like
war than at any time previous
The House passed a resolution di
recting the President to intervene
and authorizing him to use the
military and naval forces of the
United States to stop the war. The
resolutions reported to the Senate
are stronger, but will probably be
put aside and the House resolution
adopted. The final adoption OF
either resolution means war, unless
Spain packs down.
The President has DELAYED.
luffed and filled, wabbIed and put
tered and given Spain all the time
possible to prepare, and would
have backed clear down if Con.
gress had not taken it out of his
hands. The case has got so bad
that there seems no alternative now
but to drive Spain out of the west
ern world.

Notwithstanding the large amount
Of its Chinese indemnity, Japan finds
itself in financial straits, and lacks
capital to carry on its largely increas-
Ing volume of business. Business
men in all parts of the empire are
making urgent appeals to the govern
ment for relief. But with the pur-
chase of new warships aud other ex-
penditures the imperial treasury finds
the demands upon it all and more
than it is at present capable of meet
ing, and is considering new schemes
of internal taxation to make up the
deficiency. Germany found itself in
q financial crisis only few years after
the payment of the huge French in
demnity, the lesson of both cases be-
ing that the booty of war does not
always pay its cost nor provide an in
exhaustible fund for the nation that
gets it.

A APennsylvania commission, charged

APennsylvania commission, charged
with the difficult task of devising
some means whereby convict labor
can be utilized without interfering
with union labor, has found, after two
years of inquiry, nothing better, un-
der existing statute restrictions, than
the New York plan OF utilizing such
labor in the making of supplies for
state nstitutions. The members of
the commission approve of the Euro
pean plan of making army stores and
equipments in the prisons. That plan,
of course, is not applicable in this
country, where ordinarily there is no
such demand for war material, but
Pennsylvania is supporting 80, 600 in
sane in its various hospitals, aud it is
believed that the furnishing of sup
plies for that INDECENT army would
keep all the prison inmates in the
state busy.

It is not so very long ago that Korea
was a close corporation, and, of
:ourse, having no foreign trade what
over, it is interesting and surprising
to know with what rapidity it has in
creased since 1898, when it had $3,-
900, 600, and in 1897 it had grown to
s11, 900, 600. The Japanese troops,
during the Japan-China war, spent
large sums of money in the country,
which furnished the Koreans with a
purchasing medium. Later there was
large influx of Chinese merchants,
and the government, in 1897, made
large expenditures for public works,
causing a great increase in trade.
Americans are somewhat interested in
Korea, in its gold mines and in the
construction of electric roads.

The New York Tribune says -
Amid all the talk about German in
terests at Manila, it is we'll to bear in
mind that there are only four German
trading houses in that city, that there
is no direct line of vessels between
Germany and the Philippines, and
that no cargoes are ever sent from
either country to the other. The
amount of German trade must there
fore be small It could not we'll be
large The chief products of the is
lands are sugar, hemp and copra. Ev-
identity no sugar could be sent to
Germany, which is garexporting
country. The hemp goes to all parts
of the world, but chiefly by way Of
Great Britain. The copra is practl-
cally all taken by Great Britain and
France. The tobacco, now a minor
product, goes chiefly to Spain, or did
before Admiral Dewey interfered
with the trade. It is one thing to
protect existing interests. It is an
other and very different thing to try
to establish new interests.

Those people who think that Amer

who think that the vast army of
workipgmen are not lovers of their

eating, comments the Chicago Times
Herald. They would find that some
where about the home of nearly every
laborer there is displayed the Ameri-
can flag, and in thousands of instances
right by its side is the Cuban flag with
its single star. They would find that
in the thousands upon thousands Of
public schools the children from the
homes of the laboring men are fore
most among the enthusiastic and pa
triotic children of the land. Those
who think that this government is in
danger OF being overthrown by an
archists, socialists, or any other class
of dissatisfied, restless spirits, are far
wide of the mark. This government
is founded in the hearts of the people,
and they are intelligent enou gh. to
know that up to date better govern
ment has never been organized They
believe in it, they love it, they will
seek to make it stronger and and bet

The authorities of Portland, Ore,
believe that they have solved the
problem of economical street sprink-
ling, and the explanation of the way
they do it is revelation of how that
far Western city is gridironed with
street railways. There are at least
thirty miles of track within the city,
as the contract for sprinkling covers
that amount of highway on which
rails are laid Each mile of the thir-
ty is to be sprinkled once daily, Sun
days excepted, the work to be done
by the street railroad company with q
motor sprinkling cart. The city fur
nishes the water, and the railroad COM
pany distributes it for $400 month.
Not counting the cost of the water, the
expense is about $13 per mile per
month. That is certainly less than it
would cost the city to do the work
through its street department.. The
cost per city lot of fifty feet frontage
is about seven cents month.
