Clifford and Huth were, last season
the features OF Rich and Harris

from the success attending their efforts
with that attraction wisely came TO
the conclusion that they could enter

own.
"A High Born Lady" was written for
their especial use by Herbert Hall
Winslow, and he has brought into it's
construction most amusing complica-
tions, an interesting story and brisk
dialogue. while mertorious specialtles

sembly; we know if the election was
left to the people, he would 60
through with an overwhelming ma
ioritv. But when politicians COM
bine as is evident in this contest, and
candidates from various sections are
brought out, there is no telling
whether the attempt to weaken Neal
on the first ballot will succeed or not.
In some instances, where Neal would
get solid delegations, the effort to
thwart him has been made by bring
ing out candidate from the COUP
ties of those delegations, hoping
thereby to make county pride vote
for the home man, and thus reduce
the Neal vote. If Neal is defeated 1t
will be done by such tactics, and not
because he does not merit aretentlon
in Office. His defeat will mean that the
spoils of office is more sacred than
faithful service, and that political
debts are to be paid &c politicians, at
the expense of the people.

The bill to pension Confederate

The bill to pension Confederate
soldiers proposed by Marion Butler,
the Populist Senator from North
Carolina, is regarded as a trick.salv
to allay the feeling against the Seua-
tor in his home State, and the propo-
sition is meeting with objections from
members of the Confederate camps;
the latest is from the L. OBJ. Branch
camp of Confederate Veterans of Raj
eigh, n. c., in which they protest
against the bill, saying, ave hereby
enter our protest against said bill as
degrading and demoralizius in its
tendency and suggest to the honor
able Senator that he use his efforts to
purge the pension rolls of the bum
mers and bounty jumpers of the Fed
eral army and we will thank him for
same" The proposition to pension
Confederate soldiers does not stand a
possible chance of success and Sena-
tor Butler knew it when he made it.
He simply endeavored to play a po-
litical game and "busted" in the
draw of the card.

The situation iu the Philippines is
still problematic, and time alone will
tell what the final outcome will be-.
The Filipinos determined to make a
stand for Independence and they
claim to have the American promise
of cooperation to attain their lnde-
pendence. Agrimaldo, the President
Of the Filipinos, protests against any
recognition of the sovereignty OF the
United States in the Philippines, and
claims that Uncle Sam did recognize
the belligerency OF his people when he
saluted the Philippine fas and by
other acts. Many public thinkers
look upon the situation as seriously
menacing, and while they all agree
that in the event Of wae, the United
States will succeed, not however,
without much loss of life and treasure
will the taking of these islands so far
away be worth the cost. What does
Uncle Sam want with them anyway?
If the Filipinos have been struggling
to throw off the Spanish yoke, they
are as much entitled to their Inde-
pendence as the Cubans, and our
government has given its word to
turn Cuba over as soon as a stable
government" can be accomplished.
Bryan, in his Chicago speech last Sat
urday, hits the nail square on the head
when be said, "Shame upon a logic
which locks up the petty offender and
enthrones grand larceny" II it is
theft to steal Cuba, it is a greater
theft TO steal the Philippines.

ception into the Soldiers Homes, a
srievously mistaken notion is cher
ished. Our people are not dreaming
of any such idea, for they are too
sensible to entertain any proposition
SO utterly romantic, not to say ab-
surd. The old Johnnies are doing
tirst-rate without any bounty from
Washington. Our pension list is
already big enough, and there is no
need for lur,her burdens. The whole
idea is Quixutic and the very first to
deuounce it would be the proposed
beEe6ciaries.

that the beef furnished our soldiers
in Cuba and Porto Rico was "em.

dered it unfit to eat and dangerous
to health, will depend entirely upon

report has been submitted to him,
ana what he will say will depend up
on he nature of the report. lit be

hard to convince the board that they
used no chemicals and that the beef
furnished the soldiers was the same
that the trust sells in every large city
in the country all the time. Gen.
Miles is conducting an independent
Investigation, through the Office of

The Senate might have done four
days work this week, but it did not
actually do four hours work. Evi-
dently the Senators are not helping
the administration avoid an extra
session of the next Congress.
Talk of the administration putting
candidate in the field against Gear
Reed for the Speakership of the next
House is again prevalent.
It is SAID that Mr.. Reed has been
asked to define his position towards
the Hull army Dill and several other
measures in which the administration
is deeply interested, and that if he
does not agree to aid in putting those
measures through the House, an ad-
ministration candidate for Speaker of
the nextHouse will at once be brought
out. Such talk has heretofore amount.
ed to nothing, and this will probably
do the same; Reed isn't likely to help
the administration, nor will lie fight
it. He will allow it to pass any bill
that can command majority.
