Mckinley Analysed.

A telegram from Thomasville, Ga,
says that the administratio will not
decide upon its permanent policy
respecting the Philippines until the
Schurman commission has reported.
This might be true, but it isn't,
and the leas intelligent observer of
events will swallow IL with liberal
allowance of salt. Mckinley and
Hanna are not waiting for the report
of the Schurmann commission, but
republican-lile, they are trying to
determine which is the popular side
OF the question, without regard to
wright Oh wrong. Ii they decid
that annexstion is feasible, that they
will lose nothing by such policy, then
thsy will be the biggest ducks in the
expansion puddle. But if, on the
other hand, they discover that they
cannot expand without jeopardizipg
their Jobs, then the dear people will
be given to understand that thoy
have never entertained thought Of
expansion.
Congressman Joseph w. Bailey,
OF Texas, grasps the situation firmly
by the nape of the neck when he
analyses Mckinley as follows:
The trouble with Mckinley, is he
doesn't know what is his own policy
yet, and consequently everybody
also is i'll the dark. 1 know one
thing to be a certainty. The Presi-
dent prior to his visit to st. Louis
and otEer points, was as fatty oppos
cd to the retention of the Philippines
as any one. On that mem orable trip
he heard, orthought he heard, an
ominous underground rumpling in
favor of the holding of the Philip
pines, and since then he has followed
that policy. Or rather permitted it to
drift along; and, mark you no one
has ever yet heard him say he was
in favor of it. When the force of
public opinion shall designate clearly
to Mr.. McKinley's mind that the
American people don't want the
Philippines, he, aud of course, the
republican party, will be right in the
push; for, mind you, they have an
nounced no policy so far. Mr.. Nc.
Kinley has his ear to the ground all
the time listening to catch the rum
blings of public sentiment, but q
man in that strained position is
likely to err.

Mrs. Eliza Young, an aged COL
ored woman, mother of Chris Young,
of this town, died in Bluefeld last
Thursday, and was buried on Fri
day. She was about 81 years of age
During slavery she was owned by
DIR. Floyd, who lived in this town at
that time. Her husband, Sam
Young, was owned by Charles Young
who died many years ago, and whose
children took Sam to Texas. Before
this time, Eliza. with her two chill
children, Chris-and Emma, were
sold into Tennessee. Thus husband
and family were separated. and never
met again. After the surrender she
came back to Tazewell, hoping to
find her husband, not knowing that

before. "Aunt Eliza" was well
known throughout Tazewell, having
lived, at different times in many OF
the best homes in the county. She
was great nurse, and was honored
and appreciated for the efficient SER
vice that she rendered for years.

many of them, seeing the promises
OF good treatment are fulfilled, are
inducing their relatives to return to

1t is believed that desertions will
soon doplete the army of Aguinaldo
to little or nothing. 1t would not
take long for an army of the kind he
has gathered to melt away and dis
appear in the mountains and jungles
of Luzon.
Numerous signs point to an early

Gen. Pho del Pillar, the best fighter
among the Filipino officers, will

Queer Women.

Some women are queer and their
queerness sometimes has pathetic side
to it. Here is case where a young
couple went forty years ago onto new
farm in new country. They built such
house as they could and as the BARNS
came and more room was needed the old
house was added to by leantos and wings
and here the children were born, grew
to manhood and womanhood and babe
father and mother goodbye" as they
went out into the world. The time came
when the bank account and the needs of
the old man and woman required new
house, and so an architect was consulted
and nice modern home built just at
the rear of the old house which was to
be removed. Now when the new home
was all finished and the day came to
move into it, this woman said that she
could never live in it and begged to be
allowed to end her days in the old home
which had become in some way part
of her life. The smoke still curls up
from the little back kitchen of the old
house as mother gets breakfast, while
the handsome new house with parlors
closets and bath rooms, stands, with
blinds drawn down, tenantless. AS we
said before-women are queer.

Barbarians and Their Dead.

We passed few days since on the
railroad a cemetery situated adjacent tc
a town of about six hundred inhabitants
The people it seems were possessed Of
sufficient enterprise to fence it in and
that was all. Sunfiowers, golden rod
ragweed and all the vast army Of weed
pirates held complete possession of the
sacred acre. 1t would have cost about
two dollars to have moved the weeds
down but they were permitted to grow
thrifty and high-headed, fed by the de
composing remains of the towns founder
and early settlers, intersected atinterval.
by the. runways of skunks and rabbits, 4

lifting its head and mutely protesting
from the weeds against such libel or

kegs on the depot platform Of the town

Special Crops.

Certain sections of the country, seem
ingly without any special reason take, up
specialties in agriculture and horticult-
ure and become famous for their pro-
ducts. Bohemians and Poles first utiliz-
ed the peat beds of Kalamazoo for celery;
Rocky ford, sterile. parched canyon of
Colorado, is devoted to the production
of nutmeg melons; the Edgerton tobacco
district Of Wisconsin is growing rich
raising the weed; sometimes community
will make speciality of potatoes or
cabbages. OF course special fitness Of
soil and climate have something to do
with the success of these specialized
efforts, but really far less than most
people think; for instance, as good celery
as can be grown In Michigan can be
raised on any of the moist peaty lands Of
the west; by selecting the right sort, a
better favored nutmeg melon can be
raised on an Iowa or Minnesota farm
than Colorado ever produced and there
are thousands of acres of good tobacco
land all through these states.
