is nothing in it to embarass any,
nody OF to infunce the policy Of
THIS government towards the
Philippines; it would be COM
Piled with if we disposed of the
islands at any time, and it would
not be violated if we held them
until the crack Of doom. Preei-
dent Mckinley has no reason to
teel other than indifferent towards
the resolution.
BY the first vote he cast in the
Senate Vice President Hobart
had the pleasure Of Defeating the
proposition Of Senator Bacon that
the United States pledge itself to
turn the government of the Phil
lpp1nes over to the natives as
they shall have established a
stable and independent govern
ment. The Senate tied on the
proposition, 20 to 29, and Mr.. Ho.
bart cast the deciding vote against
the misunderstanding proposition.
-Four republicans supported the
Bacon proposition-Hale, Hoar,
Parklns and Quay; also two pop
ullsts-Jones, Of Nevada, and Pet
t1grew, while only two democrats,
McEmery and Morgan voted
against it. Senators Kyle, Teller
and Stewart also voted rgainst it.

Washington Letter
(From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, February II, 1899.
President Mckinley and five
members Of his cabinet have gone
on "a flying trip to Boston, where
they attended the annual dinner
of the Home Market Club, but be-
fore leaving Washington, he took
occasion to disabuse the minds
Of the democratic senators who
protested to think that he was on
ly blufing when he said that IN
less the Senate passed the Hull
army bill he would call an extra
session of the next Congress, by
reiterating that statement. r Pres
ident Mckinley does not desire
an extra session Of Congress ard
no man has done more to try to
avoid one, but legislation for the
increase and reorganization Of the
regular army is absolutely neces-
sary. The full bill for that
purpose has been passed BY the
House and there is plenty Of time

factories. In his veto message he
says: Il have never heard it ad-
vanced, even under the plea OF
public policy, that. it was justi-
fable, to permanently take the
property Of one taxpayer and
transfer it to another's private
use to enable the latter to carry
on an industry which but for such
aid would not be profitable or
self-sustaining." It must be ad-
mitted that the point is we'll taken
and it does seem unreasonable
that public funds should be used
to make an industry one Of profit.
The Irvine Investigation is now
pra ctically completed and the
committee will, in e. short time,
submit it's report to the legisla-
ture. AS has been stated before
the committee has found no evi-
dence that reflects upon the pris-
on management. The whole trou-
BILE GEMS to have been that the
farmers neglected TO order in
time. One witness who appeared
before the investigation commit
tee and who, it was believed,
would give some evidence against
the prison management, testified
that he ordered his Irvine the Sec
ond day Of June and he was high
ly incensed because he did not
get his order filled. His origina
letter was produced and one may
imagine his surprise when he
was shown that the letter was
written the sixth day Of July

for the Senate to pass it. If it
fails TO do SO, and an extra SEES
sion is made necessary, the re-
sponsibility therefor will belong
to the democratic Senators who
are banded together to prevent a
vote On the bill by the the Sen
ate.
There was quite lively con-
test in the house over the Hep
burn CANAL bill, which was offered
as an amendment to the Sunday
Civil bill-Representative Hop
kins, of illinois, who was in the
chair, ruled it oat ono point Of
order, and when an appeal was
taken from his ruling the House
voted to sustain the ruling.
Owing to the snow blockade of
the railroads, all the mem bers of

dered to meet in Washington to
look into the embalmed beef

able to reach the city in time to

ed, The court will get to work
the first of next week.
The Senate has passed the bill
admitting Oscar W. Diegnan, OF
Iowa, one Of the Merrimac heroes,
to the Naval Academy, as a cadet.
There is some talk about Pres
ident Mckinley being somewhat
embarassedIby the McEmery res
olution, which was adopted by the
Senate by a vote Of rs to 20, this
week, should the House adopt the
resolution, but there isn't the
slightest reason for it. Had
President Mckinley felt any in
terest in preventing the adoption
Of this resolution by the Senate
he would have easily done so, as
sixteen Of the the twenty-six who
voted for it were republicans.
THE resolution does not amount
to a row Of pins, and would prob
ably never have been adopted
had not promises been made by
individual senators to Senator
McEmery previous to taking the

Trip Through the County.

~o~> sSH~
It was our pleasure to accompany
the Treasurer on his collecting tour
of the county during this month and
we were agreeably surprised to note
the many improvements which have
been made to homes and farms in
years time. Scarcely a place we
passed but what showed signs of
marked improvement and the addi-
ton of convenience and comfort. We
we're warmly received and hospita-
bly, entertained around the hearth
stone Of our people in every section
of the county, and their kindness and
attention will ever be cherished as
pleasant remembrance of delightful
time.
W. were fortunate in having as
travelling companions two such jovial
and wholesouled boys as are Treas
urer Jasper S. Derrick and Auditor
G. A. Derrick. They were lively as
crickets and as merry as love stricken
youth, on the way to his marriage
feast. Uncle Jasper seemed to know
everybody and everybody knew him
He was prime favorite with maids,
wi1cws and children and it was hard
to tell which of the three classes of
sweet humanity made his heart
beat flster and his pulse to quicken.
He was feasted on gentle glances,
sweet smiles and button hole bouquets,
which be solennly afirms be enjoyed
more immensely than he does the
more prosaic turkey and trimmings
with yeller legged chicken thrown
in for good measure.
Auditor Derrick was not q whit
behind our social Treasurer, but
being younger in experience he was
as bashful as a school boy and looked
on the many little dramas with a
far away wistful look, that seem to
say "turn backward, turn backward,
Oh, time in thy flight and make me
lover just for tonight" He wore
his hat after the new tangled fashion
the girls have Of wearing their hats
low down on their faces completely
hiding their dancing eyes so that he
could see and not be seen. He tried
to persuade US that he greatly pre-
fered the backoones and rice, the
sausage, spare-ribs, the puddings
and scrambling musb, the potatoes
and bread, the turkey and chicken,
to the smiles and glances, the fow-
ers and ribbons, but we put it down
to the green eyed monster which
comes to US all when we first went
sparkling. He also is we'll known
throughout the county and is grow
ing in popularity as his sterling
worth as "a man, citizen and an officer
becomes more generally known.
AS for ourself, we have crossed the
meridian of life, our bayday lies in
the past and we amused ourselves by
entertaining the good husbands and
wives, watching the little firtations
of the gay bachelor member of our
party, envying the gastronomic
powers of the other, devouring the
daiaties prepared for US and in chas-
ing the Almighty dollar.
The collections were very good
and made the heart of our kind
hearted Treasurer to sing with glad
