After His travels

Four-year made his first long journey
the other day-the first that he was aware
OF, at least. 1t was to Boston and back,
and it lasted twentyfour long hours. They
had to take two trains to get there, and
they stayed all night at big, strange hotel,
where the negro walters were such a novelty
to Four-year-old that he lost his appetite
and fixed all his attention upon the black
skinned servitors He returned home,
the weight of his travels upon him and full

not be satisfied to give to Europeans an equal

islands when it might be monopolized by
Americans through the adoption OF customs
duties that have proved prohibitory IN the
Philippines as they have also proved IN the
United States. The door may be opened.
therefore, during period when military
government is in operation, but when peace
has been restored and the Filipinos have

Farmers Still Being Robbed

The reason why the farmers of Kansas
have no mortgages to sell is because Provi-
dence, not the Republican party, gave them
enormous grain crops last year, and at a
time when all the other countries of the
world had short yield of breadstuffs, which
secured to the Kansas farmers an unusually
high range of prices for their products They
are however, still buying their supplies of
industrial articles, including farm machin-
cry, clothing and boots and shoes, by
measure which gives less than thirty
inches for a yard.-Kansas City Times.

Carnegie as a Benefactor

Mr.. Carnegie is tremendous benefactor
to the human race He has just entered
into combination to increase the price of
steel rails, although he admitted some time
ago that his firm was making good profit at
the old prices. AS the railroads pay the
increased price they have to get the money
back in the way of freight and passenger
rates. The increase comes out of the pock-
cts of the people, and is unnecessary and un-
iustifiable Press.
