An injudicious Thomas cat en-
gagged in an argument with anoth-
er feline who had considerable
more strength and science
than himself. When the argu-
ment was ended the injudicious cat
was short one ear, and an eye,
his nose was split open and he
was short enough hair to stuff a
small pillow. He finally gathered
himself together and crawled feeb-
ly under the shelter ola porch to
take an inventory of himself and
figure on repairs. While there
he heard a democrat trying to
demonstrate to companion that
the late elections were very en-
couraging to the democratic
party. After listening to the talk
for a few minutes a sad sort of
smile spread over the disfgured
eeuntenance of the cat as he said:

Upon his return from the east,
it viii be remembered, that Gov
ernor Steunenberg undertook to
insert a little prop under the top
ping silver cause in this State, by
announcing that he had discovered
a strong silver "trend' beyond
the Rocky Mountains. He did
not definitely locate the place of
its abode, but rather sought to
convey the impression that il per-
meated the eastern States.
Now, the Governor is German
and il is worthy Of remark that

Agrees With Patrie.

Briefly, we can quite agree
with Mr.. Patrie on his historical
analysis Of the situatio,l-that the
fusion of the Silver Republicans
and Democrats in the various
States has been unsatisfactory as
a rule, and has in no manner adj
vanced the cause of silver, while
Silver Republican leaders gener-
ally have been turned down to
make room for Democrats of me-
diocre ability and uncertain silver
Views-on all these things the
Herald agrees with Mr.. Patrie.
But upon his deductions IRON
these facts there will be a wide
range of opinien. In one thing
we differ decidedly, however,
with Mr.. Pauie. We do not be-
lieve in making such confornded
hard work of it to get back into
the Republican party. All polit-
ical parties sta I'D with open arms
to welcome all the recruits they
can get. If Mr.. Patrie, or any
one else, believes that his l.olitical
views are best represented by the
Republican party we can see no
reasonv'hy he should not come out
quietly and gracefully and say so
and let that end it. This thing of
asking anybody else what to do
in politics we do not believe in at
all. If man is sincere, he will
do as his conscience Dictates

NOTES.


pines have been making excellent
progress during the week, Ag-
slinaldo is still in hieling and his
army is rapidly disnltegrating,
The most notable event Of recent
occurrence was the capture Of
Central Canon by Lieutenant
Munro. It is thus told in the de-
spatches:
''Manila, Dec. 1.-The capture
by Lieut.. Munro and fifty men Of
the Fourth cavalry Of the Filipino
General, Canon, with 500 men
and officers, with rifles, several
American and seventy Spanish
prisoners at Bayombong, prov
ince Of Nueva Viscaya, was a
successful bluff. Lieut.. Munro
tapped the rebel wire, telegraph
ed to Canon that he was advanc-
ing with a large force, and de-
manded his surrender. After
negotiations, Canon consented TO
capitulate to a superior force,
whereupon Lieut.. Munro tele-
graphed that he would enter the
town with a small guard and re-
ceive the garrison's surrender.
He captured the whole Filipino
force and secured their army,
the rebels supposing Munro had
an army behind him."
General Joe Wheeler says that
the Filipino war would soon come
to an end if Congress immediate
ly upon its meeting would pass a
resolution unanimously endorsing,
or sustaining, the Administration
at Washington. In a later de
spatch he says Of the insurgent
forces:
"They live by taking what
they want from the people. Many
of them are robbers who rob de-
fensciess people of their money
and sometimes murder them. II
we should withdraw there would
be warfare and anarchy in the is
lands, and the well to do would
get some strong government to
come and take control Aguin-
aldo publishes paper, which is
filed with expressions from peo-
pie of the United States who are
called anti-impsrialists, and ]
think were it not for these ex-
pressions the instruction would
be closed. y
Aguinaldo's proclamation which
was issued October the 18th, and
its substance cabled to this coun-
try, has finally reached here in
its complete form, and it is re-
ported shat elegantly gold en-
bossed copies have been sent to
Mr.. Bryan, Mr., Atkinson, Mr..
Jones, Democratic chairman, and,
presumably, MIR. Dubois. The
proclamation starts off in this way:
"a message of gratitude to the
illustrious Democrats of the Unit
ed States" Reference is made
to Mr.. Bryan in the following
glowing style; "American by
birth, he has been educated in
and practiced the teachings Of the
greatest Presidents of the United
States, and for that reason has
sympathized with President Ag-
whom he recently ac-
claimed the hero of this century,
a follower of the teachings which
have inmortalized Washington,
Monroe and Jefferson" This is
followed by the declaration that
There should be pictured in Fill |
ipino history, with the same glory, |
Risal, Bryan and Aguinaldo,
glorious trinity" etc. We regret
to observe that Atkinson, Fred
Dubois, Billy Mason aud Flenner
have been omitted from the list
of Filipino deities and trust Ag- |
uinaldo will hasten to append
codicil to his calendar. Before

sympathy with the Beers since
cid man Kruger refused TO per-
init the American consul to act
as British agent, during hostilities,
because the American govern
ment is supposed to sympathize
with England. 1t will be remem-
bered that during the Spanish
American war NJ. Cambon, the
French minister acted as the
Spanish agent in the United
States and the English ambassa-
dor acted as the American agent
in Madrid, Spain. 1t was well
known that the French people
sympathized with Spain and the
English people with the United
States, yet the integrity of the re-
spective agents was never ques-
toned. Old man Kruger does
not seem to know much about
the rules and amenities of civil
lied governments.

son of Iowa was elected Speaker
of the House of Representatives.
There were present $50 mem

is no wonder that Dubois is scrap
ing the country for something to
fuse with.
The opening Of this Congress
has been Of unusual interest be-
caus of the Roberts question.
The matter was disposed Of in
a quiet and orderly way, which,
in our Judgment, forebodes no
hope for the Utah Congressman
elect. We have noticed that
when Congress determines on a
coarse, it pursues it without much
fuss and noise. One Of the feat
ures OF the Roberts incident was
the presenting Of a mammoth pc
tition containing 100000 of
names, 1t was done up in %
rolls each two feet in diameter,
and wrapped in the American
flag. When Mr.. Roberts name
was called to take the oath he
arose but proceeded no further.
Mr.. Taylor, Republican of Ohio,
objected to the administration of
the oath. He was seconded by
Mr.. McRae, Democrat of Arkan-
sas; and Mr.. Roberts was obliged
to stand aside. The matter was
then referred to a special com
mittee. The fact that the fight
against Roberts is lead jointly by
Republicans and Democrats re-

THE DAY IN THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON. March 2-During al
most the entire session today the senate
was engaged in routine business. Two
measures OF national importance were
passed, the fortihcations appropriation
bill and the bin providing a code of Grim

provision for the high licensing of the
liquor traffic in the latter measure Gre
ated considerable discussion. and an ef-
fort was made to incorporate an absolute
prohibition amendment, but it failed by
decisive vote. The fortifcations bill

NEW THEORY IN ROTATIONS
OF PLANET JUPITER.
Professor Hough, OF the Dearborn Uni
versity, Discovers That the Planet
Rotates on Its Own Axis.

CHICAGO March 2-Professor George
w. Hough, the astronomer at the Dear
born observatory in Evanston, has made
public new discovery in regard to the
surface rotations OF the planet Jupiter.
which is completely at variance with the
existing belief.
II is the general tenet Of astronomers.
and the statements are embodied in the
most recent text books on the science.
that the surface rotation of the planet
Jupiter is similar to that Of the sun, be-
ing quickest near the equator and slow
est in the high latitudes near the poles.
In his conclusions on a long record OF
observations, extending over % years
and which he has just completed, Profes-
sor Hough announces his belief that the
surface OF the planet Jupiter rotates on
its axis in the separate envelopes or
strata.
Professor Hough further discovered in
the long series Of observations that the
spots shift in longitude, as well as hav-
ing a rotaryment, and this also supports
the ring or strata theory and strengthen
ing Professor Houghs belief of many
years that Jupiter is in a gaseous or
plastic state.
