Herald from Washington says: Con-
siderable concern has been felt i'll Of
fetal circles for some time RESPECTING
the fate of American prisoners still
held by the Filipino insurgents This
is due to an intination made by Aguin-
aldo IL a note to General Otis. deliv-
cred a month ago, that gave rise to the
fear that injury might befall the pris-
onerS il recognition of the so-caiied
Filipino republic by the United States
We're longer delayed.
IT was in answer to this threat that
the president sent a message to General
Otis for transmission to Aguinaldo, an
nouncing that if the prisoners were
maltreated in any manner he and his
subordinates would be held personally
responsible.
AT that time Aguinaldo was believed
to be within the Gordon established by
the American troops sreac ching from San
Fabian to San Isidro. While it cannot
be learned that Aglinaldo received the
communication. General Otis undoubf-
ediy succeeded in -apprising him OF its
contents: and. knowing the result of
wanton injury either to the American
or Spanish prisoners, it is hoped here
that Aguinaldo viii see that they are
protected from harm.
Aguinaldos effort to secure recogni-
ton by threatening injury to the pris-
oners is considered by the officials as
the last card to be played by the inSur-
gent leaders. It has been noticed that
although the insurgents have permitted
many Spanish prisoners to escape, they
have carefully held the American pris-
oners. This leads the officials to be-
lieve that Aguinaldo hopes. if finally
captured. to make terms advantageous
10 himself This would be impossible
if the prisoners were found to have suf-
fered .any harm.

MONEY POWER IS TOO GREAT
CAUSE OF DEMOCRATIC WEAK
NESS IN NORTHERN STATES.
Senator's Tillman and Berry Speak Of
the Conditions Of the Two Great
Political Parties.

New York, Dec. lin reply to these
questions, asked by the New York
World, why is there not Democratic
governor in any northern state? Why
is there not a Democratic senator from
any northern state? What is the
cause of this? What is the remedy
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
says:
'Upheavals in regard to the finances
of the country and the efforts of the
Democratic party to press silver as an
issue has been largely responsible for
the present conditions. The free use of
money in northern elections has result
ed in temporary reverses. 1t will de-
pend upon whether or not the northern
constituencies shall continue subserv-
lent to money in elections and the mis-
representations of newspapers as me-
dunn of education; whether or not such
a revolution shall come as will give
the Democracy hold in the north.
Il mention the lavish use of money.
and, incidentally, the press. as / firmly
believe these two things are the great
est factors in producing the condition
which prevented legislatures from
electing Democratic senators. / would
rather not regain power in furtherance
of the classes against the masses of the
to the Republican party and take up
their policies and follow their schemes
to the benefit of the wealthy as against
the people. l prefer to await the revo-
luton which will return the Democ-
racy TO power"
Senator Berry of Arkansas says: II
believe one source of our weakness is
that the Democratic party too fire.
quently goes off on a tangent and takes
the unpopular side of the controversy.
1t is not easy for a Democrat TO sacri-
flee a jot of principle to great deal of
success. and so it sometimes happens
that our party is not as close TO the
pulse of the people as it might be.
with the Republican party it is diff
ferent. Take. for example. the currency
bill now pending. The Republicans who
now advocate this gold standard meas
ure. not even excepting the president
himself, were avowed silver men fifteen
years ago. They have found il con-
venient to fall in with popular party
policy.
Il see no immediate hope for a re-
united Democracy. but this congress
may develop new issues upon which
the party can find common ground for
coming together and working in har-
mony. The future of Democracy is not
at all discouraging"

not expect the county to pay $3.50 year
ly, or any other sum for water ser
vice.

to Salt Lake. The communication was
merely filed.
The appointing of a county delegate
to attend the National Livestock con-
vention was laid over.
