CAMPAIGNING ABOUT lMUS

Manila, June p, 9 p. m.-The insurgent
army has taken to the swamps and hills
beyond linus. The largest forct Is sup
posed to be In the neighborhood of San
Francisco De La Malabon, holding a po-
sition more toward the lake or toward
the coast, according as exigencies de-
mand. General Thornton returned to
linus today. bringing three men who were
wounded in yesterdays fighting. The
heavy rains that fall nightly make cam
paigning uncomfortable. The roads are
still good, but the rice fields adjoining
them are pools OF water. The Filpinos
will not fight unless they can meet our
troops in positions most advantageous to
themselves or take our accommodating
bodies in ambush.
1t Is impossible to learn what effect the
recent defeat has had upon their leaders.
This should be disheartening, for they
had boosted that the Americans could
never conquer the province of Cavite,
Aguinaldo's home country, where he al
ways worsted the Spaniards. General Otis
recently received a letter signed by ma
tive women of the province declaring
that, If all the men were killed the wom-
en- would still keep up the fight against
the Americans.
Copies of the insurgent organ lndepen-
dencia, show that the Filipinos' hopes of
success are kept aflame by political move
ments in America. The Independence
prints reports of alleged speeches made
at alleged meetings in the United States
denouncing the war and II asserts that
these represent the dominant American
sentiment. 1t declares that the Filipinos
will continue the war until the next pres
idential campaign. which is ''sure to re-
suit in a decision to withdraw the Ameri-
can troops from the Philippines"
It Is reported that the Spanish garri- |
son at Baler, in the province of Principe, |
on the east coast of Luzon, which had |
become reduced to thirty-three men, fin |
ally surrendered to the Filipinos after |
holding out for a year.
The Fii:pinos imprisoned two English |
men at Tachlobon, on the island of Sa- |
mar, southeast Of Luzon. The British |
frst-class cruiser Grafton steamed to that |
point from Cebu and her commander de-
manded their release. When this was re-
fused, ne landed a force of marines and |
cleared his ship for action, whereupon |
the Englishmen were handed over.

THF EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI

cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty

Is It not time that the nonsensicaI
kissiug-bug fad should be dropped by
the aewspapers2 1t has been a ten
days' sensation. There is no such bug,

Insects whose bite or sting is more or
Iass poisonous, and wherever their
wOuHds are made more or less infiam,
NATION or swelling will result. When
these insects are numerous, as they are
at this season of the year, so also will
their presence be numerously demon
Gtrated. When an insect punctures 9
hp, then it is a kissing-bug; when II
operates on any other part OF the anat
omy. then it is simply an insect, with

course OF extreme exaggeration, it il
about time this silly business is rele
gated to the shades of the past.

The question OF street improvement
has been the subject OF much comment
in Perrysburg during the past summer,
and its agitation will probably continue
as the spirit of Improvement seems TO
have taken hold of our people, and 1t is
to be hoped that spirit will not die out
until our village is placed in the posi-
tion it should occupy-at the head Of
the procession of progressive Ohio
towns.
The question OF the best kind OF i'm
provements for streets is being consid-
cred from the standpoint OF economy
and excellence, some of our people
claiming the Mcadam being the cheaper
and better while others favor brick paw
ing, claiming that while the brick is
probably the most expensive in the first
cost, it is better, more durable, and in
the long run the cheaper. Opinions
differ, of course, and as Perrysburg has
Tor many years suffered by reason OF the
people being divided against themselves,
it is we'll to secure Information OF the
subject from reliable and unprejudiced
source.
II. Foster Balm, assistant State Geolo-
gist of Iowa, in an article on Brick
Paving in the Middle West" published
in the "Review of Reviews" )" gives much
valuable Information on the subject. BE
takes into consideration all the different
systems OF street Improvement, and
while he admits that Mcadam is cheaper
in first cost, he says it requires to be
kept in the very best condition in order
to give good service; it soon wears out
particularly if it be allowed to become
rut-cut, and can only be kept in condi-
tion by constant care and expense. He
then refers to the several other payers
in use in various parts of the country,
but finally decides that brick is the best
for all purposes. He says that where
brick can be purchased at ten dollars
per Thousand, with freight rate addi'
tional, brick pavements can be laid al
S1.25 to $3.50 per square yard. Brick
paving in Minneapolis, where the brick
must be hauled from Des Moines, Iowa,
the cost per square yard is Sl.75 Asids
from the average low cost, brick paving
he claims has many incidental advan
tages, especially in the smaller towns
| 1t is clean, fairly noiseless, and under
ordinary conditions is islong-lived. These
facts are worthy of consideration by oul
people,
To become thoroughly disgusted will
Mcadam it is only necessary to drive
down Main street in Bowling Greer
during the summer, and observe tn,
cloud OF dust that is blown on ant
through everything alongside tn,
street. The stone becomes powdered
almost as fine as lime and is much NOR,
disagreeable than ordinary road dust.

The following opinion, by ]. T.
Gillispie, an Observant citizen OF Mass >,
who has just returned from a trip to
Russia, and who is now in Washington,
Is both interesting and pertinent:
with all her prOfessed friendship for
the U. S., Russia does not tolerate
American missionaries within her
borders. Russia is pre-eminently sell
hsh Ia all her aims, and her ambitions
are far more stupendOus than people
m this country have any idea Of. She
creams OF the time when she will
dominate not only the whole of China,
but India, Persia and Turkey as well.
The building Of the great Siberian rail-
way Is nothing but a scheme of con-
quest. Russia courts the friendship OF
the U. S., because she fears that when
the inevitable conflict between the Slav
and the Briton comes on, the u. S. may
side with the mother country. Down
IN their hearts the Russians care nc
more for US than they do for the Eng.
Alsh, and whenever they think the
hour Is ripe, they will push US aside In
the Orient. just as ruthlessly as they
will John Bull. They bide their time
being n patient and cunning race, but
Ia the meantime II suits them to appear
10 be our friends"

The long-continued scarcity of paper
currency in the United States treasury
has led the officials to apprehend seri-
Gus embarrassment, next fall, when
paper money will be so urgently de-
manded in the west and south. They
were troubled with similar forebodings,
last fall, but managed to get through
the season without any real difficulty.
The circumstances are somewhat differ
ent now from what they were a year
ago, however, and that is the cause of
the anxiety. In previous years the
paper that has gone out in the fall has
come back to the treasury in the win
ter and spring, but this year nothing of
the Kind has happened, and there is at
present no promise of the usual accu-
mutation of paper that is both expected
and needed. Little is coming in from
the custom houses, for about three
quarters of the duties are paid in
gold. There are 4 good many davs
between now and next fall, and many
things may happen; but it is one of
the recognized defects of our currency
system that ii lacks elasticity. 1t cam
not or at any rate does not, expand
or contract according to the needs of
business. Virtually, the only possibility
OF expansion lies in the national bank
currency, and that seems already to
nave nearly reached its limit. Some
$S6OOO,00O of the war bonds are now
held either as security for bank notes
or the deposit of public funds, and
! there is little probability of any mate
rial increase of circulation from this
source. Bank men say there is even
less profit in bank note circulation when
money rates are high than when they
are low. Elasticity is quality much
needed in our currency.
