Dses Mckinley Appreciate the News2

Does Mckinley Appreciate the News?

There is a grim vein of humor in
the uncensered news from Manila
that Philippine Mayors elected un-
der our direction, and supposed to
be our partisans. have been found
acting as recruiting agents for the
insurgents, and have consequently
been arrested. Their cities were
supposed to be friendly to our rule,
and were given certain measure of
self government. The result ia trea-
son at the very top, and what there
is at the bottom even the most dense
Of our imperial expansionists ought
to have learned by this time.
Such mess as the Mckinley Ad-
miaistration has made of matters in
the Philippines has probably never
had its parallel in modern history,
unless it be found in the brutal
laundering of the English in Iadia.
Last year our troops were welcomed
by the natives of all classes as
friends aud deliverers In less than
six months they came TO be hated as
the tyrannical Spaniards never were,
and to-day even those whom we pick
out for positions OF honor and trust
intrigue against US when it is not
safe to fight US openly.
Admiral Dewey commanded both
the respect and the affection of the
Filipinos, and if Mckinley had
listened to him the present lament
able state of affairs would not exist
on the islands. For some occult
reason, however, his advice was dis.
regarded, and, weary of seeing the
useless slaug liter that he could not
prevent, he started for home. In
the meantime blunder succeeds blum
der, and yet our President assures
US that all is well, and and that the
flag is being glori6ed by the sacr;-
fee of the lives of our own soldiers,
as well as by the slaughter of the
natives.

HARDIN TO GET REVENGE.
With Bryan and Blackburn He Will Stump
for Goebel.

With Bryan and Blackburn He Will Stump
for Goebel.
Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 28.-General
Parker W. Hardin returned from the
North to day, where he has been
since the Louisville democratic con
vention which nominated Goebsl
and in which he was the contendinR
candidate. General Hardin has as
yet made no public expression of
what action, if any, he will take in
the present gubernatorial contest.
Ex-senator Blackburn is authority
for the statement that he expects
General Hardin to take the stump
for Goebel within q few weeks. Har
din favored Goebel over either Stone
or Brown in the Louisville conven.
ton. His opposition to Brown is
due to long standing political feud,
the result of the fight made on Gen
Hardin, ex Auditor Norman and a
set of politicians which controlled
the convention nominating Hardin
four years ago.
1t is charged that Brown knitted
Hardin, and this resulted in tie
election of Governor Bradley and
the republican administration. Many
law suits and newspaper coutrover-
sizes were inaugurated by Governor
Brown, in which he showed the bit
terest feeling against Hardin.
This feud has never ended, and
Hsrdin's opportunity for revenge
has now come. It Is said he will
take the stump with Bryan and
Blackburn for GoebeI. and that he
viii thus make himself sure to sue

He SPOKE HIS MIND.
President Mckinley Would Hold the Philip
pines.

Ocean Grove, n. j, Aug. 26.-
Before an audience that filed the
vast Methodist auditorium President
Mckinley spoke of the Philippines.
In response to many calls for an
address the President said:
"Love of the flag and love of
country are not inconsistent with
religious faith. l believe there is
more lo7e for our country and that
more people love the flag than ever
before
wherever that flag is raised, it
stands. not for despotism and op-
preston, but for liberty, opportunity
and humanity, and what that flag
has done for US, we want il to do
for all people and al lands which,
by the fortunes of war, have come
within its jurisdiction.
That flag does not mean one
thing in the United States and
another in Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
"There has been doubt in some
quarters respecting the policy of
this government in the Philippines.
Il see no harm ia stating it in
this presence: Peace first, then, with
charity for all, to establish a govern
ment of law and order, protecting
life aud property, for the we'll being
of the people who will participate in
it under the stars and stripes.

NEW USE FOR GLASS.
CeramOcrystal Successfully Used In
the Construction of a Street
in Lyons, France.

John C. Covert, United States consul
at Lyons, reports that last October a
paving company there began laying a
piece of pavement of ceramocrystal, or
devitrified glass, laid in the form of
blocks, eight inches square, each block
containing 16 parts, in the form of
checkers, fitted together so that water
cannot pass between them, and the
whole pavement looks like one large
checkerboard. The advantages claimed
are that it offers a greater resistance
than stone; that it is poor conductor
of cold, and ice will not form upon it
readily; that dirt will not accumulate
upon it as easily as upon stone, and
that it will not retain microbes; also,
that it is more durable than stone, and
just as cheap. The new product is OBJ
tanned from broken glass, heated to a
temperature of 1880 degrees, and COM
pressed in matrices by hydraulic force.
The firm manufacturing this material
proposes to have large house con-
structed entirely of glass as one of the
features of the coming Paris exposition.

The Celery webworm.

Prof. w. G. johnson, Maryland state
entomologist, reports new insect pest
in the gardens of that state. He calls
it the celery webworm, as it spins
a delicate web in and about the plants
and upon the ground. This web pro-
tects it while feeding. When it attacks
the celery the plants look as if blighted,
the leaves whiting and turning brown,
but in such cases the worm or its web
will be found. Thus far it has worked
mostly upon the self-blanching varie-
ties, but has been seen upon others.
This may prove only local attack, and
it may not be seen again for several
years, if at all, but celery growers will
do well to keep on their guard against
it, even if hand picking is necessary to
exterminate it when it appears.-Amer-
lean Cultivator.
