JUDGE D. K. WATSON, formerly a
member of the House OF Represen-

/ said II think l know Ohio. and l
tell you our people are in favor OF
I standing by the flag. That's the
Arst thing in all this war-standlng
~ the flag! We must establish the
supremacy of the United States
over there. There is no getting out
Of it We simply can't afford to
come running back from the Philip
pines with our heads bowed in
shame and our flag trailing in the
dust. There is but one thing to do,
and that is to fight it out just as the
President has planned, -"
ACCORDING to Judge A. L. Krum-
Ter, of Indiana, who is good auth
GRITTY, that State is safely and per-
manently anchored in the Republic
can harbor, because of the growth
OF its manufacturing interests and
the general good times, speaking of
which he SAID: sour people are en-
joying flood tide of prosperity.
Everybody is satisfied with current
conditions. Money is plentiful,
crops are immense, and the demand
for labor is unprecedented. In the
West there is overwhelming appro-
val of President Mckinley Philip
pine policy. l read of directors to
that policy in the East, but we have
no Hoars or Atkinsons in our Sec
ton. The sentiment is we'll nigh
universal that the Filipinos deserve
punishment, and they are going to

SENATOR B. f. Shakespeare, of
Mill Creek Hundred, is candidate
for Senator for the Republican nomi-
nation at the election next year.
He had what is called the short ter m
and his friends think it is nothing
more than right that he should be
reelected for the full term of tour
years, as all the Senators will be
elected for that time hereafter He
is conscientious man and if re-
elected will do his duty to the best |
OF his ability. It was not his fault
that no U. S. Senator was elected,
as he stood ready to cast his vote
for any man that Only needed sim
gle vote more to ensure his election.
Mill Creek is a staunch Republican
Hundred and the nomination of
good man for Senate will be equiv
alent to an election.
THE tone Of the stock market was
better yesterday. Advances gen.
er ally represent the changes of the
day. The better tone was caused
by the Treasury Department an
nouncing an offer to prepay nation
al bond interest for the remainder
of the fiscal year-to the end OF
next year-charging therefore only
modern discount. The effect of |
this announcement was seen in an
immediate advance in prices.
amounting, up to o'clocks, from
to 2 points. The buying was quite |
brisk, but the advance seemed to |
meet selling orders probably given
before the Treasury offer was given.
president KRUGER sent his ulti- |
matum to the British Government,
giving it until o clock this evening
to withdraw its troops from the
Transvaal border, to land no more
troops in South Africa, and to with
draw all the troops landed since
June 1st, 1899. President Kruger
says his sword is unsheathed and |
the presence OF the British troops
is intolerable to him, and he Will |
hurl them out Of his domain. 1t is |
either war now. or withdrawal of |
the British forces.
f. B. FRAZER thinks that David |
c. Rose, of Newark, is playing the
baby act in refusing to attend the
reunion Of the Delaware Legisla-
ture at Old Point Comfort this
month. He says no tears would be
shed il Mr. Rose stayed at home |
and 1t is no worse to vote for ]. Ed |
ward Addicks than It was to vote
for Horace Greeley for President
which he accuses Mr. Rose Of doing.

exchanged friendly shots, with the
