Our Grimes in the Philippines.

In the San Francisco Star Of recent
date the following statements are made
by an American gentleman who has re-
sided in the Philippine Islands fifteen
years, and who is large owner of prop
erty there:
| feel convinced had Admiral Dewey
been at the head Of affairs this CHASTITY
business would never have happened.
There can be no doubt whatever that
hostilities were provoked and COM
menced after deliberate premeditation,
to serve political ends. The semi-of-
fetal Manila Times and Tho Freedom,
published in Manila under the sub
vention of one or other OF the regi-
mentsl both admit now that the first
shot was fired by Private Grayson, of d
Company, Nebraska regiment.
This admission is all the more re-
markable when one considers that the
jingo party are in absolute power in the
Philippines and cook every report to
suit their own palates; at first they

because in the first place the cable is
not American property, secondly no
state of war existed, and pending sign
ing of the treaty of peace and transfer
of the Spanish rights in the cable, the
latter should haye remained neutral
and open to all.
Latterly they have established a
censorship OF the press also; hence any
reports emanating from Manila papers
must be taken for what they are worth.
Every effort that mortal can invent is
being made use Of to prevent the truth
from leaking out and allowing tie
American people to see the iiasco made
by the Imperialists. who are trusting to
time and distance to veil their mistakes.
1t is a matter of common knowledge
that the military party expected n
walk-over, or in any case very feeble
resistance would be offered, which
would be easily overcome "by vigor-
Gus, sharp, and relentless attack" and
the Philippines would be theirs!
Relentless it has been with ven
geance, in the indiscrimnate slaughter
of women and children rushing for
safety from their homes, fired by SOL
dierS, and the wanton bombardment in
the middle Of tho night of defencelcss
towns and villages, without any pre-
vious warning to allow non-combatants
and women and children to be removed
to places of safety, contrary to all rules
of civilized warfare.

or restrain trade, as being inconsistent
with the spirit of free institutions, and
demands that these combinations, II
they cannot be legally prevented, shall

The thirteenth plank pledges the party

secure free, fair and honest elections,
to prevent the use of public money and
patronage for private profit and to give

on the Democratic national committee,

late war and sympathizes with the men
whose blood was shed in a conflict
waged for humanity's sake.

A Republican View of 1t.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The nomination of Farmer Greasy, of
Columbia county, for state treasurer by
the Democratic convention makes it
necessary that the Republican conven-
tion, yet to be held, shall select as his
competitor man Of equal If not super
ior merit. Mr.. Greasy was member
of the lower house of the last legisla-
ture at the last session, and his record
on measures of state policy, OF revenue
and reform legislation was such as to
win very general appreciation.
No Republican citizen can want to
vote for Democratic candidate, but
the Republican state convention will
deliberately invite many thousands of
such citizens to vote for Mr.. Greasy
unless it shall plant itself solidly on a
platform of treasury reform and repudi-
alton Of the abuses recently revealed
and nominate candidate whose char
acter and political associations will be

monwealth that reform is intended tc
mean something-thati 1t will be carried

The fashions and fine dress
seems to be absorbing the brain of
our young people throughout the
land more today than common
sense. A young married man,
with small family, recently
made this remark: IF times go
on as they are it won't be long
before / will not be respected if /
go to my church in one horse
wagon.
There is truth in this remark.
1t is not what a man is now, but
how he appears. A young lady
buys fine dress or a young man
buys fine suit of clothes, as the
case may be, another wants to APP
pear better before the public and
buys one little finer, another
still finer, and here it goes. Why
not those that have the means
dress plain and economical and
set an example for those who have
not been so Fortunate, and let
those whose means are very linn
tied, and perhaps haven't home,
dress according to their ability
and not try to deceive the world.
Our fathers and mothers, perhaps
most of them, in their young days
wore homespun clothes and went
to church i'll OK wagons, or walked,
and it seems that we ought tc be
contented with less. If this rae
ing in fashions does not stop more
homesteads will be tied up with
mortgages, more people will be
without homes and more dry goods
bills left unpaid.
If this money spent for dress
were spent in identifying and i'm
proving the home or buying a
home, or part be expended in sus-
tanning the church, our homes
would be more happy and bless
ings more abundant.
