An Unbroken Front;
man W, d. Vandiyer In the Miss

congressman w, u. NandiYer In the Mississippi
Valley Democrat.
'sIt is a common remark, that the
Missouri Democracy presents the
solidist phalanx in the United States
Congress. Led by the old veterans
like Bland, Dockery, DeArmond and
Clark, the whole twelve present an
unbroken front to the enemy. And
more than once, when there have been
signs of wavering on the part of
others, Missouri's stand has not only
served to strengthen the party po-
sition, but to determine what that
position should be. OF the new mem
bers of Missouri's delegation, 1t IL not
proper for me to speak, because, no
difference what may be their ability,
industry or integrity, their position
and their influence Will not be deter
mined at one or two sessions. But of
the older members, Bland, Dockery,
DeArmond and Clark, 1t is safe to say
that no State in the union has four
stronger. better men here. 1t has fire.
quently been said that Missouri has
the strongest delegation in the House,
and there Is nc doubt but that such
men as these have made 1t 8 What
our new men will do can better be told
after they have had opportunity to
demonstrate their usefulness, which II
should be remembered cannot be done
in n or two years, col even in four
years. The useful men here are those
who have been here eight or ten
years.

FIGHTING AT N
Spanish Power In the Philippine Is
lands Gone Forever.

MANILA, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, June
Is, via Hong Kong, June 1.-THE Sc
verest engagement since the naval
battle of May 1 took place to-day in
the suburbs of Manila.
One thousand insurgents attacked
1900 Span1ards, inflicting heavy losses
and almost forcing an entrance to the
city.
The insurgents on land and the
Americans on the water completely
surround Manila. Foreigners have
fed to the ships, while the Spaniards
have placed their women, children
and priests In the forts.
1t is reported that Captain General
Augusti Is willing to surrender to the
Americans In order to prevent the
insurgents from capturing, burning
and killing them. The Archbishop
has overruled the Spanish on this.
The increased presence here OF
German warships excites comment in
view of the local attitude of the
SpaniardH. The Katserin Augusta,
Admiral Diedrich, has arrived, MAX
ing three.
Everything is In readiness for the
arrival of the American troops. They
can take Manila In "a hours, az it Ia
now at the mercy of the fleet.
A great fire is raging north of Ma
Mia. The insurgents have captured
the waterworks. Captain General
August has ordered all the male pop
ulation of Manila to become soldiers,
Spanish power is crumbling in the
Philippines. General Peuna and 1000
Spanish soldiers have surrendered a,
Santa Cruz. Similar surrenders have
taken place in Lagana, Pampanga and
in each case but few we're killed.

Bad management keeps more peo-
pie In poor circumstances than any
other one cause. To be successful
one must look ahead and plan ahead
so that when a favorable opportunity
presents itself he is ready to take ad-
vantage of 1t. A little forethought
will also save much expense and valu-
able time. A prudent and careful man
will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
in the house, the shiftless fellow will
wait until necessity compels 1t and
then ruin his best horse going for a
a doctor and have a big doctor bill to
pay, besides; one pays out 25 cents,
the other is out a hundred dollars and
then wonders why his neighbor is get
ting richer while he Is getting poorer.

To Teachers and Others:

To Teachers and Others:
MEXICO, Mo-, June IS, 1s9s.-Hav.
ing been appointed Assistant Man
ager In Missouri by the National
Educational Association, which meets
in Washington, D. C.,July 7th to 18th.
inclusive, 1 shall be glad to give any
information concerning this meeting.
1t should have an unusually large
membership from Missouri this year
Our state has been recognized and
honored by selecting superintendent
j. Nj. Greenwood, of Kansas City, as
President of the Association.
To anyone who has the teachers
spirit, the n. E. A. meetings are in
valuable. There we come in touch
with the first educators of our coun-
try and often with those of other
lands. This meeting will have a dou-
BILE advantage for those who have not
visited our National Capital. As
there are a few books everyone is ex-
pected to read, SO there are a few
places every teacher is expected to
visit; one of these is Washington.
Railroad rates will be a little more
than one fare for the round trip from
starting point to Washington-plus
50 for the N. E. A. membership. This
fee will secure to you, by making
application before July IL, a copy Of
this years proceedings, including the
Principals meeting at Atlanta held in
February. Twenty or more excur-
sions from Washington have been ar
ranged for at a very low rate for the
round trip. There is no official route.
The railroad fare will be the
same by all roads from Mexico. 1t is
our expectation to go by special
train from st. Louis via the Vandalia
and Pennsylvania lines and 1t may be
by special car via the Wabash from
Mexico. The Vandalia and Pennsyl-
vania have no superior in point of ele-
gance and convenience.
Anyone, teacher or not, can take
advantage of this trip. Tickets will
be good until September or later, II
the application be made by the holder
at Washington. Further information
ON this point can be given hereafter.
AS Assistant Manager l am endeav-
oring to secure q large party to start
from Mexico about July 5th and
shall be glad to have parties join us
here, at st. Louis OF at any point
along the line, 1 shall be prepared
to give Information concerning hotel
and good boarding house rates. Any
one expecting to 60 should write be-
forehand and secure quarters indi-
vidually or join a party and secure
board and lodging with its members.
Berths in sleeping cars must be Sc
cured beforehand. Apply to station
agent at Mexico.
If yourselves or any of your friends

I shall be pleased to answer promptly
any inquiries concerning the matter.
Yours very truly,
D.. A. MCMILLAN,
Assistant Manager.

PATRIOTISM IN PAYING WAR TAX

No man should grumble at paying
his portion of the war taxes. Patri-
otism demands that we should look
pleasant while we are doing u part
in this matter. Along this line the
Chicago NeiUs- Record says:
"Increased taxation is one of the
temporary evils of war and Is a bur-
den which the people may be expect
cd to bear without complaining in such
times as the present. The war-reve-
nue. law undoubtedly will be product
i've of hardship and inconvenience.
War involves hardship. Those who
go into the field as soldiers bear the
brunt Of the contest. AS compared
with the sacrifices made by the volun-
teers who leave their work for army
service, the burden Of extra taxation
for war purposes seems small. It ia
in that light that the burdens of the
war-revenue law Will be borne, cheer
fully and willingly, So long as the in
creased taxation shall be absolutely
necessary.
As the soldiers aud sailors show
their patriotism by seeking conflict
with the enemy, so the people at large
may be expected to give evidence OF
their patriotism by consenting cheer
fully to the e1:actions necessary for
raising funds for pushing the war to
an early and successful termination
