The Filipinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereignty
of these islands from Spain before the
signing Of the treaty of Paris, and there
fore Spain was in no position to cede
them to the United States. They argue
that the possession of 1000 Spanish pris-
oners captured with their arms fighting
against Filipnos is eloquent proof of the
nulity of Spanish sovereignty, as when
they surrendered Spain's hold was ire
vOcably lost. The document appeals to

Paris, Aug. S.-The Jour today says
there are grave contradictions of General
MERCER and former president Casimir
Perier before the court of cessation, and
it understands that counsel for Dreyfus

counsel propose, when the respective
dispositions are presented to the court

Perier with perjury. The arrest would

THE REIGN OF CRIME,

Every paper we pick up is full of the
records of the most horrible crimes In
Minneapolis men are robbed on the
most public streets, and even in day
light Two country banks. one at Cor
nell H., and the other at Popular Grove,
ILL.,. were robbed on Dec of 81, 900 and
$4,000 respectively. On the same day in
Chicago thieves poured kerosene over a
woman and, standing over her with
lighted matches, threatened to cremate
her if she did not give up her money.
She handed over $40. At Mayville, KY,
a negro was burned alive for assaulting
and numbering white woman in whose
house he lived as trusted servant
Blacks and whites both took part in the
execution. The wife of a prominent
Chicago politician, Sol Van Traag, is
convicted of sharing in the robbery Of
H.40O from man in a panel house.

river was crossed by some of the men in

SOUTH DAKOTA POLITICS.

HOWARD, S. D.. Dec 6-It is fortunate
Tor the Union Reform party of South Dakota
that December is an OFF month politically
II there was state convention or even a
ness of management could prevent the
smoulderng insubordination from flaming
up In open revolt. There are not two fac
lions. but half dozen, and each one Yell
Ing Il told you So at all the others
First, there is a very considerable section
OF the tripartite Misunderstanding that is
loyal to the flag. 1t Is led by such frank
fearless fellows as Glenn Farley, H. S.Volk-
mar and Clate Tinan. and these are telling
the management pretty plainly through the
columns OF their papers, and a deal more
plainly through private correspondence,
that 1t has made an ass of itself on the war
Issue. All attempts to discipline these re-
calcitrants have ended in signal failure. A
small Populist editor tried calling Far
ley down in print, but Glenn went back at
him with line Of presidents. running down
to Jefferson, showing that the Democratic
party was the greatest expansionist on
earth. Other less public attempts to applv
the slipper resulted in severe jolts to the
anatomy OF the wOuld-b be mentors In the
added light of recent occurrences in this
state Ohio, Kentucky, Luzon and other al
legged insurgent strongholds there is
growing disposition on the part of loyal
democrats to take the bits in their teeth
to fling out the ultimatum that If the blum
der which kept their party in sackcloth and
ashes from 81 to "a Is to be repeated next
summer. they will slide on the other cellar
door
In Minnesota we have a similar con-
dftion of things in the Democratic party.
+. b. Winston and other leaders refuse
to place themselves in antagonism to
our soldiers in the field; but S. M. Owen
thinks he sees chance to drop free sill
yer. which he opposed time and again
and get into Office on the peace-at-any-.
price-platform, which Vallandigham de-
Tended in 1864, and was defeated upon if
in Ohio by 100000 majority. Stick to
the omaha platform and shun all side
issues. N
