No public man is in favor of such a
plan, so far as | am aware. Yet, i'll the
course Of time we may take them in.
"No colonial system, such as England
established years ago. in India, will ever
be established under the Stars and
Stripes" declared Mr.. Teller. "Our
fiag will always float over liberty and
happiness insured TO all the people be
meath it's folds. Although all of them
may not be accorded the fullest rights
of American citizens. the flag will float
as an emblem of good government and
protection to them as it does to us
In reply to n question from Mr.. Till
man. Mr.. Teller said he would not go
to war with the people of the Philip
pines in order to force our institutions
upon them. He would consult them as
to the form of government and he be-
lieved that by pursuing this course we
should avoid the necessity of war with
the natives. Their government might
not be as perfect as ours, but all ac-
counts agree that the natives are tract
able and intelligent and capable of pro-
gress.
Mr.. Proctor here interrupted Mr..
Teller to read an extract from letter
from Admiral Dewey concerning the
character of the Filipinos as follows:
"These people can be governed with
the slightest difficulty. They readily
give in to reason. and | have not had
the slightest difficulty in dealing with
them"
Mr. Proctor also read an extract from
the letter of an army officer in terms
Of praise of the Fiipinos. and indicating
that there need be no difficulty with
them.
Continuing Mr.. Teller expressed the
opinion that the natives could not be
governed from Washington. They were
susceptible to just and liberal treatment,
and there was no reason why, if they
were capable Of approaching them, our
benefcent institutions should not be ex-
tended to them.
Mr.. Allison Qowa), reported favor
ably from the Appropriations Committee
the House resolution providing for an ad-
iournment of Congress from December
DIST to January 4th. and it was adopted
without division. The remainder of the
session was given up to the Nicaragua
Canal Bill Senator Caffery was the
only speaker ON this subject, and he op-
posed the Morgan BILL

rescue. and who was ascending a ladder
to try to save Mrs. Underwood, was
struck by her body as she fell and
knocked TO the pavement below. He
struck an iron railing that surrounded
the house and was seriously injured.
Mrs. Raymond. who occupied Il room
on the second floor. was assisted to the
window by her husband and stood on
the SILL panic stricken, and calling for

scaling ladders, while people on the
street shouted to the Raymonds not to

1t is claimed by the authorities that
the casualties resulted by reason of the
panic. The house was supplied with fire
escapes and the fremen were early at
the scene.

THE pres ent session of the Kentucky
Legislators has far surpassed the ex-
pectations and hopes of the people by
attending strictly to the business
for which they were elected. Not
mnch Dragging is being done by the
press yet, as it has been fooled so
many times heretofore by sessions
which started out very promising and
wound up in a complete failure. We
believe, however, that the present ag-
gregation will succeed in passing many
measures that will be of great benefit
to the people, and that the members
will not do like many others elected
to office-forget that they are the
servants and the people the masters,
and consider themselves masters and
the people the servants Many elected
to office do crowd this foolish idea into
their little craniums, and the result is
that they have to be relegated to the
rear. Whenever a man thinks him.

THE people of the nation will now
breathe easier, as special to the dai.
lies announces the important news
that Dora Clay has returned to her
husband. Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay. We
have never known any affair to be so
completely run into the ground as has
this separation. The papers have pub
lished every move made by both par
ties and the way the country CORES
pondents have worked the dailies has
been a sight to behold. OF course Gen.
Clay is prominent man.. but his pri-
vate affairs should not be picked to
pieces like has been done in the past
few months. and such would not have
been done had the old man been able
to get about. 1t is said that when he
saw Dora returning he ran and met
her affair off, fell on her neck and kiss
ed her. A choice piece of veal was or
dered, the ring placed upon her finger,
and the lion and the lamb lie down to-
gether, SO let us hope that the matter
will be allowed to rest, and the noble
old man be permitted to spend his re-
naming days in that peace which he
SO richly deserves

Asleep.
ITO the sorrowng Mother OF Lucille Weisiger. ]
When they laid her down to sleep,
The Angels gently waited signs,
Closed down to rest. the soft sad eyes,
And then she spoke no sweet replies
When they laid her down to sleep.
When they laid her down to sleep,
They crossed the dainty, dimpled hands,
And smoothed her hair in shining bands,
And softly said, "God understands
When they laid her down to sleep.
When they laid her down to sleep,
They kissed once more the dear, white face,
On which no pain had left a trace,
Nor any sin to mar its grace
When they laid her down to sleep.
When they laid her down to sleep,
They knew she loved each flower that grows
So in her hands they placed rose,
Its petals pure as Alpine SHOWS
When they laid her down to sleep.
When they laid her down to sleep,
They read anew the patient smile,
That marked her marble mouth the while,
The perfect lips that knew no guile
When they laid her down to sleep.
When they laid her down to sleep,
They knew amid lifes JOY or pain,
That music was her glad refrain,
And so they heard choral strain
When they laid her down to sleep.

SOME seem to think that in event of
Uncle Sam helping Cuba and boxing
little Spain's jaws, that England
would pat the U. S on the back and
urge us on, for the reason that it
would place us under moral obliga-
tions" to pay off Cuba's great debt
which she now owes 1t looks quite
reasonable to believe this, for John
Bull hates Americans worse than the
devil does holy water and you can bet
your last chip that England will not
do anything for us unless she sees
something big coming to her in re-
turn. England's attitude toward us

THE suggestion to publish the list o:
pensioners is good one. No honest
soldier will object to have his name
published to the world, but, on the
other hand, will be proud to be on
what was intended for a roll of honor
The kick will come from the coffee
coolers and camp followers, who were
never near enough battle to smell
the smoke. These latter should be
purged from the lists, and, unless it is
done, the honest, bona-fide veteran
will soon be ashamed to be on the
rolls. If the government would take
the money it proposes to send to the
fools who rushed into the Klondyke

men to seek out the frauds on the pen
