Yellow Journalism at Manila.

One of the institutions that we have es-
tablished in Manila is the American yell
low journal. 1t is called the Manila Free
dom and is a very effective trouble breeder.
1t has given advice to the Filipinos which
undoubtedly led them to believe they had
been cheated and betrayed. The follow
ing is sample;
"Aguinaldo should post himself on Yankee his
tory and mediate thereon. On the hrst page ne

Later News from Manila.

Tuesdays dispatches state that Gen.
Hale's brigade is continuing the work of
driving out the rebels from the country
between the reservoir and the water works,
a distance of about three miles. The coun-
try is now clear on the left of the river,
but the enemy is still in front of Gen.
Wheaton's line The rebels have twice
sent out men under flags of truce who drew
rifles from behind their backs and opened
fire when American troops advanced to
meet them.
Gen. Otis has issued a general order d.
rectlng the United States troops TO give
particular attention to the specific duty of
furnishing full protection to the lives and
property of all German, Austrian, Dutch,
Italian and Portuguese residents, and,
with the cooperation of the resident Ger
man consul, to give aid and assistance
wherever necessary.

Manila Air Like Steam.

The temperature at Manila yesterday at
o'clock was 81 degrees, but the cloudy
air was like steam and the troops were
greatly Inconvenience on the line, in spite
of the temporary shade afforded by mating
and bamboos wherever feasible. There
we're fewer prostrations, however.
1t is source of satisfaction to the war
department that the regulars who are on
the way to reinforce Gen. Otis in the Phil
ippines are all armed with the 'caliber 30'
rifle, commonly known as the Krag -Jorgen-
sen. There has been more or less uneasi
ness over the fact that the volunteers on
the firing line around Manila we're at a de-
cided disadvantage against the natives,
owing to the fact that the Filipino sharp
shooters, armed with Mausers, could lie out
of range of the Springfelds with which our
volunteers were armed, and shoot them to
an extent that was limited only by the bad
craftsmanship of the natives. With the
arrival of the regulars this situation will
be completely changed.

The Army Reorganization.

Under the plan for the reorganization of
the army finally adopted by Congress the
enlisted strength of the regular army will
be limited to less than 10000 men, al
though until July l, 1901, the President
can increase it to $4,000 men. The Presi-
dent is also authorized to enlist 81, 900 vol
unters for two years and four months.
There are to be 81 regiments of infantry
and three of cavalry among the volunteers.
The reforms desired by military men in
staff organizations have not been adopted,
but there will be reduction of the num-
Der of officers in nearly all the staff de-
partments and reduction in the number
of general officers. No great number of
new officers will be required, except sec
ond lieutenants, and for these places en-
listed men who deserve promotion will be
preferred to civilians. This measure is
unsatisfactory and incomplete in many re-
spects, and may probably be revised by
the next Congress.

THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
some Town Expense Figures.

Some deem the article about the ex.
penses of the road commissioner last year
in your last issue misleading, possibly Civ.
ing the impression that they were only
about $1,000. They were in fact $16l7. 10
and the bills left over for breaking roads
in the winter of 1899 till the March meet
ing, which are governed entirely by the
amount of snow and wind the Lord sees
fit to give us. 1t is proper, perhaps, fur
Their to state that the roads in the early
fall of 1898 were In excellent condition, but
the excessive rain fall during the fall dam
aged them several hundred dollars, which
was not at all the fault of the road com
missioner, and the large snow fall during
January, February and March occasioned
much extra expense also. AS TO what was
said about the Uverseers bills the item OF
S43 is also misleading. No part of this
was paid before the March meeting, 1898,
but Spill was included in the bills of the
overseer The rest was not, but perhaps
it was not his fault that S12.44 of the re-
mainder WAS not.

IAN incident of the adjournment Of Congress
last Saturday described by the New York
Tribune's correspondent
And then follows an incident which
would have been impossible eight years
ago, and one that no man then would have
believed could ever happen on the retire
ment of Thomas b. Reed from the office
of speaker of the House of Representatives
Mr. Dockery of Missouri is called to the
chair by Mr.. Payne, who is temporarily
acting as presiding officer, and he imme-
diately recognizes Mr. Bailey of Texas,
who in feeling and felicitous speech Of
fers resolution thanking the speaker for
the manner in which he had discharged
the duties of his Office. The speech was
repeatedly and heartily applauded on both
sides, and the resolution was adopted by q
unanimous vote, every member rising to
his feet. Mr.. Dockery then appointed
Messrs. Bailey, Bell and Payne commit
tee to escort the speaker to the chair, and
his temperance was the signal for more
applause on both sides and in the galleries.
His speech was a model of brevity, modes
ty and sincerity, and was heartily applaud
ed. Probably, as he surveyed his audi
ence, he recalled similar occasion, eight
years ago, when he faced hostile minor
| ity, not man OF whom was Wiling open
| ly to say that his administration of his
high office had been either able, fair or
impartial. And yet he is the same man
now he was then; his opinions have not
changed; his views in regard to parliament
tary law and the duties Of his office re-
main the same. The Democratic minor
ity, however, has learned some things in
eight years, and among them correctly to
rate and appreciate the ability, impartial
ty, courage and fidelity to duty OF Speaker
Reed, whose views in respect to parliament
tary law and procedure most of them now

Judging by the amount of
business we are doing in Fur
niture and Carpets it is not
very necessary to urge them
upon the peoples minds. Our
prices for these goods are any,
where from one quarter to a
half less than the price gener-
ally asked. The reason prices
are so low is that we make NOT
exception OF Furniture and Car
pets. Anything the people
need shall be sold at what the
people can afford to pay. The
spirit of genuine business is for
the peoples improvement, not
for their oppression. If we
asked as much for Furniture as
generally asked, you would
say as people used to say; "Oh,
it's all very nice to have nice
goods, but it costs more than 1
can afford" Nobody has ever
yet been able to make that re.
mark when talking about this
house, regarding chamber sets
or other merchandise. The re-
mark we hear most frequently
is "You don't say So" When
it pops into everybody's mouth
there must be a great deal of
meaning in it.
