say they care little about prestige
derived from conquering men with
arrows in their hands, but that the
taxes resulting are what they fear.
The idea of calling these Phil

newspaper persist in doing, is
unjust. They have never taken
the oath of allegiance to the Uni

dence from the start and have
said so. They will always hate
us, and nothing is to be gained by

THE administration press is hav-

just now with Edward Atkinson,
charging him with high treason
and calling him an algebraical
roohrback and other old things,
in the doing of which they show
very great ingratitude. This is
the very same old Atkinson who
took up the lay of the barnyard
hen and figured on the number
OF eggs she could lay in given
time at a given number OF eggs
per lay. And he figured and fig.
ured until his poor old head
became as added as some of the
eggs he figured on, and he figured
out the hen was a better silver
mine than any in the wild and
woolly west and much easier
worked. And the republican
papers took up the lay and lied
with the same vim and vigor with
which Atkinson figured and the
more he figured the more they
lied which Is common thing with
figures and republican news
papers. But when he attempted
to make his hen figures jibe with
the Philippine question our repub
lican friends jumped over the
traces and kicked the poor ole
