THR boys who have lately returned from Ma

"tfISroRy of the American Revolution,' is
not used in the Manila schools. 1t is not con-
sidered good food for the young Filipinos.-
Kansas City Times.
RooT, the new secretary of war, is corpo-
ration lawyer, and was Boss Tweeds legal adj
wiser when that King of boodlers and his gang
were looting the treasury of New York city.
Pretty pirds-the whole outfit.
MCKINLRyITRs point to the 900 volunteers
who have re-enlisted at Manila to prove that
the climate is healthy, and that they like their
job. One thousand of $1,000 are not many;

THE Populists again have a. paper at Topeka
The State Record. 1t is one of the neatest
papers in the state, and its rings true. Fur
thermore, it contains lots of news. The price
is only 50 cents year; or, $I.25 gets it and
the eight-pa Ac1TAToR year or IS cents
gets 1t and the four-page AGIrAToR year.
Send to the Record for sample copy.
GOVERNOR P1NGREE says McKinley's treat
ment of Alger is cowardly and unmanly. He
declares that Alger offered to resign time ant
again, but Mckinley wouldn't hear of his 60
ing. However, the pressure became too great
and Mckinley made up his mind that Alge
must go; but he hadn't the manhood to de
mand his resignation, so he shifted the burdei
onto Hobart's shoulders. Pingree is hot.
STRIKER at Wallace, Idaho, was convicted
Of murder in connection with the strike, ant
he was sentenced to seventeen years in the pen
itentiary. About 900 other miners are under
arrest on the same charge, and will be tried ii
September. Only short time ago, at Hazel
ton, Pa, sheriff and his deputies shot ane
killed number OF strikers who were doing
nothing, and they were arrested, tried and &C
quilted. That was different, you know.
STANLEY claims that he paid his wife on
Of his own pocket for visiting the state institu
tions, some weeks ago. He makes this CLAIM
because of the criticism of the papers. 1t il
not true that he paid the bill out of his ow
pocket, however. Had 1t been true, no bill
would have been presented. If Stanley pai
his wife, who paid the other two women? Tn
fact is that the three women were paid out G
the contingent fund. They presented bills TO
services at SO per day and expenses (meanin
railroad fair and hotel expenses). AT the sam
time, they rode on passes, and boarded at tn
state institutions.
