now but quite weak and hope to be ready
for duty next week. Have not as yet
seen much of Manila, but saw some of it
when they drove me through in wagon.
From what have seen OF it should Judge
it to be Chinatown. The streets are
not much wider than our sidewalks in
Yakima. The natives resemble the Yak
ina Indians very much. When a soldier
passes them they make faces at him and
say he is no good. We are looking for an
out break tomorrow, as the military au-
thorities have demanded the guns they
loaned to the natives to fight the Span
iards with, and they have also demanded
the Spanish prisoners held bv them.
Our company was on duty last night.

the Filipinos tried to come through our
lines but were stopped. l hope to be
able to go out with my company and
fight should occasion arise. Aguinaldo,
the native general, has about $4,000
troops but only small portion have
guns. The balance carry large knives
and bows and arrows, and fight like In
dams. II is dangerous to 20 out after
dark as they will stab any soldier that
they find alone and unarmed. We are
not allowed to go outside the quarters be-
tween ten and three o'clock dur
ing the day on account of the terrific heat.
The sun blisters the skin as quickly as
though scalded with water. This is said
to be the cool season OF the year. The
hot weather commences in February, 50

which are in tobacco factory, are quite
clean. The buildings cover whole block.
Labor is cheap here. You can hire ma

This convention has one great object
in view, and that is to disbaud the

the United States government does
not care to advance such n sum, the

DESTRUCTIVE RAILROAD COMPETI.
vInN

How to obviate destructive railroad
competition is a subject that is para
mount just at present in the minds of
the big railroad capitalists. The re-
cent combination of the New York Cen
trail and the Boston and Albany on a
lease which runs for 999 years with a
guarantee of eight per cent dividends
on the stock, has newly excited talk Of
proposed general combinations of trunk
lines III various parts of the country for
mutual protection from cut-throat COM
petition.
The suggestion on this line which
has gained most converts among rail-
road men, according to Henry Clews,
is one for a series of consultations that
will create a series of amalgamated
groups out of the several lines connect
ing the Atlantic seaboard with the
West. Discussion of this question has
developed into a general plan of prov
incial federation of roads, embracing
on the one nand the Erie, Delaware n
Lackawanna and the Delaware and
Hudson in alliance with the New York
Central; and, on the other hand, an
alliance of the Lehigh Valley and
Reading companies in conjunction with
the Pennsylvania Company; while the
Baltimore and Ohio might unite its in
terests with the Southern combination
expected to be early achievements, nor
to be p~rematurely forced, but to wait
for convenient conditions for their con-
summation. However, it is believed
that the New York Central's acquisition
is but the beginning of a general move
for railroad consolidation in the vari-

The cruiser Panther now at League

1t is said the county Democratic con-
yention will be held some time in Au-
gust. The Republicans are engaged in
factional fights which will intensity as
the weeks roll around. The war waged
in Asia is unpopular and there is a
feeling Of disappointment generally
toward the administration of affairs,
national and state. At no time in re-
cent years has the outlook been so I'M
favorable for Republicans in this
county. The duty of Democrats is
plain. They must put forward for Of
flee men who will command the in
slant respect of the people and organ
ize and make a determined fight for
victory. With a good ticket, proper or
ganization and an aggressive fight the
Republican bosses may be driven to
cover.

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
JULY A,

This is the day patriotic Americans
most delight to celebrate-the Glorious
Fourth. To-day is the 123d anniversa-
ry of the signing of the Declaration OF
Independence and the birth OF the re-
public of the United States. Through
out the earth. wherever Americans
chance to be and in our newly &C
CURED possessions will the Glorious
Fourth be celebrated in the good old
accepted and time-honored n by
patriotic addresses. fireworks and the
booming of cannon. For the Fourth
means much to Americans, and is the
first and greatest anniversary of Amer
lean history.
There is but one place where the eel
ebration of the Fourth of July this
year will be a bckery-the Philippine
Islands. Doubtless in army circles
the1ay will be celebrated as is
Customary. But will it not be IN the
nature of a bitter travesty IN the sit
nation for the orator of the day at
Manila to read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence as if he meant it? Whoever
may be selected for the task, if he is
q sincere American one would think the
language of that grand document in
which our ~forefathers proclaimed lib
erty throughout the land and struck
off the shackles of English domination,
just as the Filipinos to-day are fighting
for their liberties and a government of
their own, one would think, we repeat,
that the language of the Declaration of
independence would stick in the throat
of the orator who shall give it voice
in Manila to-day
AThe Declaration OF Independence has
DAlTSalnped in the mud in those
islands, and if it shall be read there
1t will strike every American con-
science as a scathing Indictment for
faithlessness and treason to the spirit of
its authors and the Constitution of the
United States rather than the signal
for patriotic festivities and rejoicing.
And it is suggested that it would be
proper that at Manila the statue of the
Goddess of Liberty, if one could be
found for the occasion, should be
draped in mourning and portraits of
the signers of the Declaration of indie
pendence and each American President.
as well as those of Webster, Clay,
Blaine, Sumner, Logan, etc., should be
similarly daped in crepe; that the por-
traits of the leaders of the imperial
party. including Hanna, Alger, Nc
Kinley, Havemeyer, Rockefeller, Pier
pont Morgan, Vanderbilt ct al, should
be appropriately decorated as the dom
inant power in the newly founded
American empire and successors of the
statemen before named. Other fitting

PINGREE In A BAD LIGHT.


PINGREE IN BAD LIGHT.
The popular impression of Gov. Pin
gree has been that of a man entirely
incorruptible who would never trim his
political sails to suit anyone but his
wi conscience and who would speak
his honest convictions at all times.
But there seems to have been some
mistake about Pingree in this respect.
The other day he f~latfootedly denied
a story of Ayers concoction that he,
Pingree was for Mckinley. He said, in
effect, that he was for Mckinley when
Mckinley broke loose from Hanna and
got back to honest American principles
once more; he denounced the war in
the Philippines and said a great many
things that caused the President to
bring Alger up with a round turn and
plainly tell him he must choose be-
tween remaining in the cabinet and
continuing his alliance with Pingree.
This was some days ago. What has
transpired since, what pressure has
since been brought to bear on Pingree
is not apparent, but the fact remains
that the erstwhile bold and eccentric
Governor of Michigan comes out in an
open letter to Alger in which he cakes
it all back and blames everything on
the wicked reporter-always a convent
ont ccananoaf fAr nnh1;a ryhn QUO
afraid to stand by their utter
ances after they see them in print and
feel the consequences. In short, Gov.
Pingree pusillanimously repudiates his
whole interview ven down to his well
known and frequently expressed SEN
timents in regard to the Philippines
war, now declaring that while he dep
recates it, he realizes the necessity for
it and in brief, reverses himself and
humbly crawls into the administration
band wagon and takes the stool of re-
pentence at Hanna's feet.
This is Potato" Pingree in a new
light, or rather, one in which the peo-
pie have not heretofore seen him, and
it must be said that he doesn't look at
all well in it. He shows himself, in
deed, to be but a ~selfseeking politician
like Alger and the rest of them, no
better and no worse.
This side-light on the Pingree char
acter bears out the recent explana-
tons offered of the Michigan COVER
nor's troubles in his shoe factory, due
entirely to his contemplate and dem
agogic toadying to the labor vote. 1T
appears hat he and his partners long
ago put in improved machinery in Or
vancements and improvements in shoe
manufacture. But Gov. Pingree caus-
ed this machinery to lie idle pending
the success of his political schemes so
as not to ALLEVIATE any labor votes from
him. This was the act of an insincere
demagog pure and simple. No wonder
it has brought about an almost open
rupture with his partners in the shoe
factory, who demand that he divorce
politics from his private business af-
fairs. 1t indicates his real character
probably as we'll as anything could and
shows how greatly his admirers have
been misled.
Thus is another popular idol shatter-
ed!
