Pittsburg Dispatch: Colonel Funston,
of the Twentieth Kansas, is entitled to
rank as the most brilliant among the
land fighters in the Philippine cam
paign. His exploits are marked by a
daring and abandon that would have
done credit to the days of the bloodiest
hand to-hand fighting, though directed
by an intelligence of a superior order.
Colonel Funston weighs rather less than
100 pounds. it is said, but he is a thor
oughly good man, all there is of him.

1t may be that the grain men thought
that the state grain inspection law was
enacted for their benefit. Governor
Stanley has recently given a course
of instruction along that line and it is
now pretty generally understood that
the law is to protect the farmer who
sells grain. If the man who places the
grade on his wheat is appointed at the
behest of the men who purchase it the
farmer has the short end of the rope.

ipinos Is Over.

Washington, Jan. News from the
Philippines does not bear out the opti-
mistic views of Gen. Otis respecting
the situation at Iloilo, Gen. Otis has
sent reinforcements to Gen. Miller,
and if the present attitude of the in
surgents is maintained a conflict be-
tween the United States forces and
Aguinaldo's followers seems inevi-
table. The weakening of the strength
of troops now at Manila, in view of
the fact that the insurgents of the is
land of Luzon seem to be maintaining
their attitude of opposition, is a cause
of solicitude at the war department.
AS a result, the six regiments fregu-
lars are to be hurried to the Philip
pines and none of the volunteers now
in service will be returned to this
country until it is sure that further
weakening of the United States forces
in the islands will be safe.
Three regiments will leave San
Francisco for Manila within a week,

army, which are to go by way of New
York, the Mediterranean and the Suez

breastplate, making it ring like bell.
