The plea of Major Sternberg, pay
master at Manila, that such of the Amer
lean volunteers and regulars as desire to
remain in the PHILIPPINES be mustered
out there when their time for muster
out comes and be allowed travel-pay
home, should be needed by the Washing
ton authorities. The major estimates
that ten per cent. OF the men would like
to stay and go into business provided
the islands are to remain under Ameri-
can protection and the travei-pay
would constitute a nice little nest-egg of
capital for them TO begin on. Major
Sternberg says that promising openings
are plenty: for instance, cattle thrive
there. at is he adds, 'the finest stock
country ! ever saw and the Orient can
be supplied with beef from here As
for the objection that white men cannot
live and work in the country, he takes
no stock in il, and ayers that there are
no healthier people than the English
and Scotch who have lived there for
many years. From information CLEANED
from other sources the inference is plain
that a white man who is temperate and
knows enough TO take care OF himself
can thrive rs well physically in'the
PHILIPPINES as anywhere else.
If we are going TO retain possession of
and develop the PHILIPPINES we need an
infusion Of American bl God among the
permanent residents, and il the soldiers
who have had experience of the climate
and have become acclimated, desire to
remain, they should be encouraged to do
sa. III money can be made in the cattle
business it doubtless can be made in a
good many other lines; In fact, in such
an undeyeloped country, there must be
an almest illimitable field for American
genius and energy.-Minneapolis Fri

The Empire Comedy Do. closed a
weeks engagement ut the opera house
Saturday night, owing TO bad weather
for the entire week the receipts were
light. A blizzard Saturday made "a
matinee out of the question. Though
the evening performance WAS given to- n
fnir audience, considering the Weather,
one thing particularly credjtahle to- the
company H. that although playing, on
several occasions, 10 light houses they
neither cut thrparts nor PLAYED horse

from them but rather brings them out
more fully by contrast. We cannot see
how The play Can help being n success

The Yoke of PopuIism.
Minneapolis Journal


One OF the soundest propositions which
has come before the South Dakota legis-
lature received the disapproyal of the
populist governor of the state. This
measure provided for an annual an d
permanent tax levy for educational pur-
poses, the object being TO establish a
regular income and take the educational
institutions on of politics. As a bust
ness proposition the bill was sound: as a
good government measure it was highly
desirable. The senate promptly passed
the bill over the governors veto, but the
populists IN the house blindly followed
Governor Lees lead, and the necessary
two thirds could not be secured. The
yoke of populism is still heavy up on
South Dakota.

As the time OF municipal electica

oning without their host for h. w.

Reporter is authorized to announce
that this decision is final and will not
be recoasidered under any circum-
stances. Our worthy Mayor states
that lac thoroughly appreciates the
honor conferred upon him by his fell
low citizens two years ago and feels
proud that there should be a desire
to renominate him as it carries with
il an endorsement Of his administra-
ton, but for private business reasons
it will be impossible far him to de-
vote any further time to public alta
ils, other than as a private citizen.

Why Was it Vetoed?
Argus Leader.

And now what will those Populist
newspapers say, which have been de-
handing that a depository law be passed,
so that the state might get the interest
on its funds, and that interest taking by
Treasurer might be stopped? Such a
law was passed by the Legislature, it was
a good one, modelled after the best stat
utes on the subject, but Governor Lee
vetoed it. OF all the yetoes by the Gov
ernor this was perhaps the most sur
prising, as it certainly is the most indie
feasible.

No False Economy
Aberdeen News

When the opposition are pinned down
to a bill of particulars the only item in
the appropriation bills 10 which they
take exception is the $4,000 for the blind
asylum nj Gary. This is an increase of
$500 for two years over the amount
heretofore appropriated for the main
~tenance OF the blind, but the fact remains
that of the sixty odd persons in this state
who grope in perpetual darkness only
n or two have been able TO take adj
vantage of the opportunity TO attend out
side institutions at public expense.
With a school at home, most of these un.
fortunates will avail themselves of the
chance to acquire an education, and so by
doing mitigate their condition. The Re-
publican party al well afford to stand
any criticism TO which il may be subject
ed because of its efforts to do Justice 10
those who are deprived of heavens great
est blessing, the sense of sight. Two
years ago the Populists refused to make
adequate appropriations for the insane
asylum al Yankton and the governor So
toed the appropriation for a needed new
building. The result was that a number
OF patients had to be housed In the jaun.

burned to death last month. The Rcpub-
iican party Is not anxious 10 make

Great Britain has permanently closed
the minis of India to silver, and has
thereby put the Indian empire praotic-
ally on a gold basis. With these things
happening since 1895. it is simply in
conceivable that the people Of this
country would elect Mr.. Bryan on a
free silver platform. I do not believe,
therefore, that there would be the
slightest hope Of Mr.. Bryan's election
IL he should be nominated. He sim
ply cannot succeed, and 1t will be po-
litical suicide for the party to nominate
him again for the presidency. A great
