the war is believed to be
nearly over, and the islands will be
before long completely paoified and
caused to acknowledge the supremacy
of the United States. AS soon as pos
sible native self government will be es-
tablished in every town and village,
ADD the Filipinos will find that they
have gained along every line by the
change. Again we insist that this
matter is not war for humanity or
anything sentimental. The condition
was forced upon us, we have met it,
and we are solving the problem the
best we know how. 1t is the duty of
every American to uphold the ad-
ministration in its efforts to solve the
problem, whatever may be his ideas
with regard to the ultimate disposition
of the islands. That matter does not
enter into the present question at
all

THE condition of the streets of this
city on last Saturday afternoon was
disgraceful. Whose business is it to
see to these things? In the first place
every street in the lower CART of the
city was overhung with pail of fine
white dust that made breathing almost
impossible. A careful search failed to
reveal single sprinkler at work at an
hour when hundreds of people were on
the streets walking and
driving. The sprinklers ought to be
Kept at work all day and
every day. And then, in
front OF the green groceries on San
Antonio street, there was an i'll smell
ing litter of rubbish-banana peels, de-
cayed fruit, dirty paper-while Ell
Paso and San Antonio streets were lit
tered up for blocks with paper and 9th
er rubbish. There Is an ordinance
against throwing refuse in the streets.
Yet on Thursday night there was G
mass of it in front of an Ell Paso street
saloon that looked like the contents of
a couple of rubbish and garbage bar
rels. AS the summer approaches, it is
Of vital necessity that the city should
be made clean and kept clean. Why
s not the ordinance aenforced?

THE death of Ex-Governor Flower
which one mans personality has on
the price of securities and the stability
of prices. AS Russell Sage expressed
it, his word was worth hundred mil
lion dollars at any moment, yet he was
not worth in his own right more than
six to ten million dollars. The reason
for this was that he controlled the in
vestments of other men almost abso-
lutely and there were capitalists ofgreat
wealth who would willingly have paid
millions for his help in manipulating
the markets. When he passed away
all the stocks in which he
was interested were Immediately
affected, and almost all others were
touched by the wave which resulted
from the shock. There was nothing
8 sensational in Flowers methods. He
was generally regarded as safe man,
and his operations were not as rule
undertaken at the expense of smaller
men. When he went into any concern
he devoted all his energies to building
it up, and his judgment seems to have
been unerring. His success was due
to his skill in reading the signs of the
market and taking early advantage of
tn EN-, rather then to the often question
able methods adopted by many of the
worlds great financiers.

THE question before our people at
present is not "expansion", but simply
the best way to solve a difficult problem
which is now presented to US. Neither
the president,nor the republican party,
nor any responsible publ C man now con-
tends or at any time has contended
that the United States should engage
in any consistent effort to secure ter
ritory outside it's natural boundaries
which is what "expansion" means If it
means anything. On the contrary, it
is realized that the retention OF the
PHILIPPINES is likely to mean many in
creased responsibilities and the expen-
diture of much treasure and not few
lives. But the situation briefly stated
is this: The United States went to
war with Spain for just and righteous
cause. Our fleet of warships was divid-
ed, and so was Spain's. In order
to shorten the war and
limit it's theater, it was
absolutely necessary that the
Spanish feet should be destroyed.
Moreover, owing to the:declaration OF
n neutrality by all the European nations.
it was necessary for our ships to secure
q depot and coaling.station, by force, in
the territory of the enemy. In ODE
dience to orders Dewey destroyed the
Spanish feet, and as q logical sequel
established foothold on the land. Con-
siderations of humanity and of public
policy forbade the return Of the islands
- 70
war ended. Germany and other ns-
tions were reaching out for them. We
could not afford to give them up to
any foreign nation owing to the inter- |
national complications [ sure to arise. |
The natives are known to be divided |
into hundreds of warning tribes. and to |
be utterly incapable of maintaining an |
lection of some strong ma
ton. Then, no man in ]
the United States was able to say off !
hand what we should do with the is !
lands-what permanent disposition |
should be made of them. Nine months
have gone by since we assumed entire
control in the islands. One day the |
Filipinos. who had been fully in formed
of the intention of this government to
grant as large measure of self gov
eminent as the natives could assume to
administer, wantonly attacked our
troops. Immediately the administra-
ton decided on a policy. which was to
assure the absolute supremacy of the
United States in the islands as condi-
tion preparatory to any permanent dis
position of them. Pursuant to this de-
our soldiers have been car
rying on an offensive cam
paing against the natives. Now

MANY ARKANSAS PLANTERS TAKING THE SAFE SIDE
 OF FARMING.
A VERY LARGE TOMATO.
The Farmers of This Section Meet With Many Hardships-Some
 Raise Both Cotton and Corn.

Oae of the largest tomatoes ever grown in Arkar sas, is. now in possession of Manager Alex Dry burgh of the. Trulock, that is, if hls appetite has not yielded and he has made the tempting vegetable disap- pear before this writing. The ''jumbo" was sent t9 Mir. Dry yburgh by Planter T. w. Madel, of Rison. It weighs one and three-fourths pounds and measures IT inches in circumference.
 Of late the plaL ters of this sec ton have beer a bit more attentive to vegetables and corn and theit proceeds have proved very profita. ole. Their object IS to make Ar kansas the King in producing vege- tables and corr as well as cotton, which for the past several years have yielded very small profits. The counties of Jeffersen, Lonoke and Pulaski, especially, will produce a vast amount of corn this year. The writer was a recent visitor to Little Rock, and while en route he noticed fields of corn which had formerly been filled with cotton as tar as tue eye could see.
 The profits on corn during the year 1898 almost doubled that of cotton in proportion to tbe produc- ton, as did also that of wheat. The farmers living in the bottom lands of this State, as rule, experienced many hardships for the last few years, especially those in reach of the treacherous Arkansas. They labored day and night to raise a good crop, their only support, but quietly the river rose ard before he is aware the waters rush in upon him. He together with his like wise unfortunate neighbors con struct dams and in their work lose, time aad money. The rushing waters he cor quors, he looks for ward with au utlcipation and joyous expect tations while on his way to market.
 His joyous expectations aud great antcipatious are soon turned to a dream of sadness. He must sell, he is io debt aud happy family awaits his home comlng with good things. for which they have waited long and patiently Five ceats," says the cotton buyer; t is indeed Sad tale, but the poor farmer is compelled to sell and he sells.
 Raise corn as well as cotton and be prepared for the buyer. If one fails you are protected by the other. The farmers have at last realized their mis take and from the appear auce of the farms in this vicinity they are raising both cotton and cora and other things, too.
