A COMPARISON.

The question is often asked, elbow
can the United States honorably with.
draw from the Philippines Islands at the
present time, and prevent further blood
shed? We would answer that the ad-
mlnistratlon could recognize Aguinaldo
as the commander of the Philippine
army, and ask for peace conference,
when they could be promised absolute
freedom under protection of the United
States, as soon as the country had its
government established, and the COM
plete withdrawal, say in 60 days there
after of the whole U. S. army.-Lisbon
Searchlight.
Certainly. And then let us suppose
Jud LaMoure should organize the govern
ment of Pembina among the people Of
!; the Red River Valley from Wahpeton to
Hudson's Bay, and should demand that
the government of the United States and
Canada turn this section over to his gov
ernment. The administration could re-
cognize Jud as the commander of the
Pembina army, etc. We ought to ask
Tud's pardon for comparing him to Agui-
naldo, but he would have the same right
to the government OF Pemhina as Agui-
naldo to the Philippines. Tud is a natural
/
make a move of this kind he would GER
tainly have more or less following. Some
one in Texas or Alaska, or some other
state might do the same, and we could
save bloodshed by letting them go. We
prefer, however, to shed blood to save
co..ntry, rather than shed country to save
blood. On the same principle of saving
we could turn the criminals out Of our
penitentiaries and save the expense OF
taking care of them. We could let
thieves 60 free to save the expense OF
trying them-we could-but we amt go
ing to do it this year.-Oakes Republican.
Say Mr.. Republican, comparisons are
odious. Next time take Pettigrew or
some of his kind for parallel. We, up
here north, don't like the taint of seces-
sion-even in Imagination.

sions are about those of the ordinary
bank draft. II has two adiuncts-the ad-
vice. or notification to be sent by the
issuing to the paying postmaster, is re-
production Of the order through the use
Of carbonized paper (the manifold pro-
cess), and receipt for the amount, to
be furnished by the issuing postmaster to
the remitter.
On the back of the order separate
space has been provided for the stamps
of banks through which it may be passed
for collection.
In color the order is blue, having a
light blue ground, with fine, closely inter-
lacee, tinted lines of geometrical lathe
work, of darker shade. In the center is
an escutcheon bearing the words, "Pos-
tai Money Order" in shaded capital
letters of the same two tints Of blue. The
tint of the order and the lathe-work will
serve to prevent limitations; but, as an
additional safeguard against counterfeit
ing, horizontal water-mark, composed
of the initials U. S. M. O., in broad,
capital letters, has been wrought into the
paper on which thenew forms are printed.
ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW FORM.
Through the process mentioned (the
carbon or manifold process), the order
and the advice are produced simultan-
eously. By the same operation the es-
sential p 'rticu ars of name payee, date,
amount, and place of payment, as writ
ten in the order, are duplicated, or re-
produced, ard made to appear in the adj
vice precisely as in the order. The liza
bility to mistake is thus greatly lessened
and a saving OF time effected. Discrep-
ancies between order and advice, which,
by entailing additional correspondence
and causing DELAY in payment, have here
totore been source Of annoyance to the
department and postmasters, as we'll as
to remitters and payees, are prevented,
and absolute uniformity between the or
der and the advice insured. The des-
patch Of advices, which hitherto have
not been made out until after issue OF
orders, will also be accelerated.

New Books.

from the American Book Company,
publishers Of school books at Chicago,
we have received copy of "The Story
of the American Republic" 1t is the
second of series of text books which
deal with the history Of this country in a
remarkably clear and interesting manner.
Ihe~average school history is a mass
of dry facts, dates and occurrences with
out thread of narrative with which to
find the way through its misty mazes.
The ordinary school boy, eagerly grasps
and retains the story of pochahontas and
of George Washlngton's hatchet as in.
|teresting and therefore to him important
historical affairs. He remembers readily
that somebody threw tea overheard in
Boston harbor hundred or thousand
years ago, but he will hazard guess, if
you ask him, whether it was Lord Corn
wallis or General Jackson that was at the
head of the party.
These books The Story of the Thir-
teen Colonies" and "rhe Story of the
Great Republic" take advantage of this
child love Of story and the narrative"
style with the result of very readable
narratives of the early settlements and
later history Of this nation, that is inter-
esting, not on'y to the young, but to the
older, and especially to any of the latter
class who are becoming rusty" it is
a delightful and easy way to brighten up,
by reading these attractive pages. The
list price is Is cents.

suffragist, there is only one issue. '1e
to 1! l6 to 1! 16 to 1! and Bryan is our
prophet" Unless we have free-silver,
the nation is bound to be ruined. AS
silver goes down, SO go down prices.
Silver is the thermometer of trade, OF
manufactures, of grain, and so on, and
so on.
Well then came the battle at the polls,
and the results alter the polls. Silver
has almost been forgotten, and every
sensible man has occasion to see and
know that the price of silver, has no
more to do with values of other kinds of
property, than any other article of pro-
duction, of similar value.
Even Mr.. Bryan seems to see that peo-
pie can't be fooled on so simple a pro-
position again. So the war cry is to be
changed. 1t is "Down with the trusts, I"
and under this demagogical war whoop,
it is intended to gather the dissatisfied
fragments into cohesive mass, as was
done when the war cry was '16 to l."
The intention is just as it was before. to
use this new war cry just as they did the
old one, to array class against class, the la
borers against the employers and against
capital. Two years ago it was the bank.

were to be involved in common catas-
trophe. Now it will be the same, the
people against the trusts-which latter
by easy gradation, will very soon, in
campaign literature, mean everybody
that has more money than the particular
individual to whom the demagogism is
addressed.
The facts that the campaign has prac-
tically started in Ohio by the nomination
of millionaire Mclean as democratic
nominee for governor, or that the Stand

STOCKS All PONDS

New York. October 24.-'fhe stock
market was distinctly reactionaIy today
III spite of some strong spots. Profit
taking was on very large scale. Sales
on this account were quite well alb
sorbed and there was no sign Of lie
liberalization of price,. In fact the profit
taking became obvious, and some of the
room traders turned hears and sold the
market moderately. The bear faction
was not aggressive, however, and made
no great inFoads on values. Neither
were the bulls inclined to resume their
campaign for the advance after taking
their profits and the market was inclined
20 drag during the latter part of the
day. Some attempt was made to infuse
strength into the market in the last hour
by the bidding up OF Union Pacific and
Baltimore and Ohio preferred. This in
duced some slight covering by shorts,
but so far as IA general resumption of
the advance was concerned the attempt
was abortive. Prices were very UNI
steady at the close and in many cases
were pursuing Il downward course
The active realizing in the first hour
was much helped By a notable accession
of outside demand which was attracted
by yesterdays sharp rise following Il
week of stubborn resistance to all at
teInpts at driving prices downward. This
demand and continued manipulation by
a section Of the bull party served to
wipe out pretty generally the opening
decline and bring the market hack to
about last nights level Having reached
that point the downward course began
and, with the exception Of some irregu-
lar fluctuations, the market continued
heavy below last nights level for the
rest Of the day.
Special points of weakness in the early
dealings were American Sugar, Ameri-
can Tobacco, American Mailing pre-
ferred, Anaconda Mining Company Pull
man and Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Ag-
gressive strength was shown all day by
United States Leather, which was taken
