IN UNCLE sAMs OWN WAY.

A dozen or so Of highly respectable gentlemen, including Senator Hoar and ex-Minister Phelps. have earnestly petit.oned the administration to put a stop to the fighting in the Philippines a once and let the Tagalos understand that our government has not come to oppress them and rob them as Spain did
 These gentlemen assume that our government has made a wantOn and cruel assault upon the Tagalos and that the latter are simply defending themselves like good patriots.

It pays to fuss with sheep.
 Get the sheep sheds ready before the sheep have to come in.
 Sheep never do well when too closely confined, even in winter.
 Examine the feet of sheep. Keen them clean. Clip off the toes and any ragged horn.
 Sheep will suffer more from cold while their coats are wet in the fall than they will when covered with snow II winter.
 Some stocllmen claim that four sheep nay proftably be pastured with every cow and not materially injure the pas ture for the cows.
 Sheep running with cows seem 10 look upon them as their protectors, and will run for security to the cows if dogs appear.
 Early eve lambs are the best when year old. They will breed earlier and turn off heavier feeces than late ones, and are quite sure to winter better.
 The number of sheep in this country has fallen off 1O,OOO,OOO within five years, and yet we import more than half the wool we use.-Farm Journal.

THE DEMOCRACY'S DESPERATE
 PLIGHT.

l It is conceded by everybody whose
 judgment is worth considering, that, fl the democratic party makes it's next presidential campaign on the same is- sues that it did in 1896, it will be beat
 en even more disastrously than it was
 in that memorable struggle. And yet
 there is the strongest probability that
 it will repeat it's monumental blunder
 next year The machinery of the
 party is completely in the hands of
 men who evidently mean to sink or
 swim with Bryanism. Chairman Jones of the national democratic committee, who is one of the most rabid advocates of free silver, has announced the ''ad- visory committee of the national com mittee for the coming presidential campaign, and has taken pains to se- lect men who will head off any attempt in the Party to secure a modification of the Chicago platform. Following cut this purpose MT. Jones has ignored the usual custom of consti- tuting this advisory commit tee from members of the na- lIOildl COIiIHlNIlSO, anu 14dS lIlllo ltlI out the committeeman from California, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York, because it was feared they would op- pose free silver. On the advisory com mittee are Senator White of California, q true-blue 16 to 1 man; Campau of Michigan, an active participant in the crime that uEned the delegation from that state over to silver in the Chicago convention Of 1896; Mack of Buffalo, who still clings to the silver policy af ter disheartening experiences with it in New York; Altgeld of Illinois, the great champion of free riot, and George Fred Williams, whom the gold demo- crats of Massachusetts seem to be un- able to dislodge from his position of control in the state organization. No wonder that high democratic authority says of this array: Before them stretches straight away the broad road that leads to death. A few months hence they will be moving down that familiar thoroughfare to the old fu- neral march Of 1S96.'

OUR OUTLAY AND ENGLAND'S.

England, by general consent of those who criticize this country, is well gov erned, and parliament, by tho critics of congress, is constantly cited as a wise judicious and economical national legislature as matched to ours In the flood of attacks and abuse on the appropriations of congress it will probably surprise the average critic and citizen to learn that up to the breaking out of the war the eXpendi- ture of England has grown faster than the expenditure of the United States The appropriations for 1889 are the last made before what has been slan- derously called the "billion dollar con- gress." The appropriations for that fiscal year were made by 9 house of which MT. John G. Carlisle was speak CT, and in which the democrats had an unchallenged majority. The States mans Yearbook, an acknowledged standard authority. gives this as the expenditures of the United Kingdom and the United States for 1889 and 1897, total postal expenditures being included for the United States as for England in both years:
 U. K US. 18S7... ... .S507 ,000 900 S447, ,O00, coo 1889 =. .. ... AZ COG 900 394, ,O00, ,C00
 ms comparison IS the same TOT beth. It includes total appropriations of all sorts, embracing the payments Of both on these dates. As' these figures show. in the seven years most attacked for extravaganza congress has added $53 100000 to the outlay and parlia ment $65, 900. GOO.
 Yet congress has twice as large a population for which to legislate and ali area thirty times greater to protect, improve and govern than parliament, for these are the appropriations of the United Kingdom and not of the British empire. The yearly appropriations of the British empire are $1, 1,724, ,009,000.
 Coming down to 1898, our war year, and England has added 2,0O0,0 GOO since 1899, and this country $148.000,- O0O Taking war expenditures, this is not a large relative increase, and no expert will hold it such. l. is a cheap war when in span Of nine years the country at peace has added One-half as much as the country at war. Down to the war congress had added less to tho yearly outlay than England, and when the war and war expenditures are over the same relative expenditure will appear In other words, congress adGs to appropriations in peace less fast than parliament.-Phila Press.

Retained subject to tax


 atiOn ...... .... $299, ,512, ,679 This shows that out of every twenty dollars of personal estate assessed for purposes of taxation nineteen escape The same story is told by every state in the Union, though perhaps the ra- tios may differ. It seems to be utterly impossible to get at personal property, doing great injustice to the honest men who come forward and submit tol such taxation. The tricks for evading personal taxes are so numerous that no man with conscience of the least elasticity need pay, and so clever that no law has yet been devised to check mate them. It is therefore no wonder that the Henry George school,y which proposes to tax land and thereby pre- vent the escape of any person and in sure absolute justice to all gains ad- herents when men known to be among our greatest millionaires make return of only a few thousand dollars in per sonal property, and the poor man pays on practically everything he owns. It was this state of affairs that led to the almost successful agitation for na- ticnal income tax law Agitation and class hatred will not die out until some scheme of taxation is adopted which will do away with such glaring injustice as that shown in the New York figures

Browns in Town"


What promises to be one of the BAN
ner engagements of the season at the
Grand opens tomorrow night fos the
entire week, under the title of Browns
in Town. The author has constructed
a farce which is said to be entirely new
in its theme, and one that is original in
its lines and situations. The story is
decidedly complicated, and the compli-
cations are new. They come about
through the efforts of a young man to
keep his marriage a secret from his
father. In furtherance of his plan, he
and his bride go to a country villa,
where the father arrives later upon the
scene, and where friends. drop in, quite
by accident, of course, and to the ut
ter despair of both Brown and his wife.
When the father arrives upon the scene
he is told that his son is visiting a man
by the name of Brown; this naturally
compels the Introduction of Mrs. Brown
as well as her husband. One of the
friends, in ignorance of the marriage, is
persuaded to play the part of Brown.
He finds it much to his liking, and pro-
