UNFAIR CRITICISM.
Secretary Root Calls Attention to
Talk on Sultan of Sulu and the
Treaty in Regard to Slave Holding.


Washington, Oct. 27.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted two hours and a
half. an hour longer than usual. After
the adjournment the members were un-
usually reticent One member said that
the president had cautioned them
against making any statement about
the meeting today. 1T can be stated,
however, that the discussion related to
the Philippines and there is reason to
believe that it was in reference to mill
tary and naval plans, which are to be
placed in operation soon.
Fully an hour of the session of the
cabinet was consumed in discussion
of the political outlook especially in
Ohio, some of the members having re-
ceived advices from their friends en-
gagged in the campaign conveying an
accurate statement Of existing condi-
tiOns.
There was some talk as to the prep
arations of designs for the new custom
house at New York, but no attempt
was made to reach a conclusion.
The Philippines discussion was
brought about through newspaper pub
locations of recent date purporting to
outline the treaty or arrangement
which General Bates has made with
the sultan of the Sulu archipelago. Sec
retary Root took occasion to point out
the unsoundness and unfairness, as he
alleged, of the criticisms which have
been cast upon the friends Of that ar
rangement and especially where they
relate to the question Of slave-holding
in the islands.

A NUISANCE,

For some time the merchants at the
corners, along East Drinker street, have
been Chating and complaining at the
surface water which would run along
the Traction company's rails at this
point and spread out in various direc-
tions on the road, making an unsightly
and ill-smelling place at this, the centre
of Dunmore.
The water comes from the ordinary
sewer which was built at a wrong angle
a few rods above the corners and which
throws the water as described.
The attention of the street commits
sioners to this nuisance would receive
the commentator of the merchants.

TO THE VOTERS OF LINCOLN
COUNTY.

The report is being circulated that
voted for a bill in the last Legislature
to require voters to produce a tax re-
ceipt before being allowed to vote; this
is not true. The State constitution
fixes the qualification OF a voter and
that right can only be abridged by y
change in the constitution, prepared
by the State legislature and ratified by
ajority OF all the voters OF the state
The bill that | voted for was only a
proposition to submit TO the voters OF
the State the question as to whether
the constitution should be changed SO
as to require the production OF a poll
tax receipt, or a certificate of exemp-
ton from the payment of poll tax, as
a qualification to vote. Respectfully,
