If our citizens expect their prop
erty to advance through increase
of population drawn hither by
good schools, factories, good city
government, waterworks, electric
light service, telephones, etc., ETC.,
they must be willing to encourage
these enterprises. If q factory
seeks site, and you happen to
own the property, don't think that
your dirt has suddenly doubled in
value. Sell at q loss. rather, and
re-invest In the next block or else
where in the city. and get your
profit out of the advance which
IS sure to follow enterprises like
these.

EASTERN ARKANSAS IGNORED
AGAIN.

In ignoring Eastern Arkansas in
his selection Of the three railroad
commissioner Gov. Jones has
aroused much fesling throughout
that section of the. state. The SEN
ators and representatives hailing
from that quarter are not at all
satisfied and make no effort to con-
ceal their disappointment. Every
man in Arkansas who is at all
posted on current politics is aware
Of the fact that the governors
staunchest friend. and defender in
the past has been Hon. J. E. Wood
of Lee county, editor of the Mari
anna Courier, and senior represen-
tative from that county In the leg
,islature. In an interview with the
Commercial Appeal correspondent
today Mr.. Wood expressed his
feelings in the following forcible
language:
What is the feeling of Eastern
Arkansas in regard 10 being ig
nored in the appointment of rail-
road commissioners by Governor
Jones'"
Zone of disappointment and
ehagrin, OF course. More especial
~ so when the appointee which
should have come from that section
was not, according to the statement
Of himself and friends, an appli-
cant for the position. Yet in face
IF this fact, Gov. Jones ignores the
claims OF several of as competent
and capable men as the state holds
within her borders, from our sec
ton. and for freak of fancy,
cal it, nothing else, makes an APP
pointment which is not satisfactory
to US at all. Besides, it will DO
noted that while Eastern Arkansas
has proven IN the past true and
loyal adherent to Gov. Jones, yet
he has never gone to it with a
prominent appointment. All these
things, of course, make us feel
rather sore over the course of the
governor, aud causes US to have q
feeling of resentment which will
be cherished against him."
What effect, If any, do you
think this action Of Gov. Jones
will have as far as your section is
concerned, as to his future politi-
cal aspirations 2"
"Oh, well, l can't tell about that;
no man knows what q day may
bring forth. But / feel fully as.
sured in saying that if Gov. J ones, at
this time, should ask anything a t
the hands of our section he would
meet with the same treatment he
has melted out to US. He would
find himself most woefully left.
In fact, our section has been very
much disappointed in Dan Jones
rs governor"

The Afissourin Idea OFT.

Out In Missouri. which Is the state rep
resented by Mr.. Vest in the senate, the
legislature is overwhelmingly Democra-
tic and to show its intense hatred Of So
called ''militarism," n bugaboo which
has no existence in fact, 1t has reduced
the appropriation for the Missouri Ma
tionaL Guard from $4,000 to $4,000.
This conduct of the Legislature of Mis-
souri, recalls the fact that at the begin
ming of the Spanish American war that

reflected little credit on the state gov
ternment. There was every evidence Of
a policy Of parsimony in providing for
the National Guard.
The St. Louis Republic Is the leading
Democratic paper of Missouri. and re-
fers to the action Of the legislature as
having been taken In the face OF what
may be termed piteous protest" One
OF the members OF the legislature. who
was himself member Of one OF the
Missouri volunteer regiments in the
war, Is quoted by the Republic as hav-
ing told the legislature of the effect OF
Missouri's Neglect Of her soldiers. The
members Of the regiment to which he
belonged. the Fifth Missouri. had been
obliged to equip themselves at their
own expense. and when they enlisted
and went to the front. he declares. they
were Inundated whenever their condi-
ton was contrasted with that OF the
troops OF less populous and wealthy
states. They were so ragged that they
were not allowed to take part In the
dress parades at Chickamausa Park"
He further stated that the regiment
was too poor to establish It's own hospi-
tai and lost twelve men on this account.
The Democratic legislature OF Missouri
did not seem to appreciate the slgnill-
canoe OF the statement.

Mr.. Teller. comes forward to remark
that the silver Republican organization,
the little there Is left OF twill be main
taned and that "thc free silver issue
will be paramount" In 1900. He expects
that the Organizes. the Popullsts and
the silver Republicans will combine
Into one party and carry the country
for free silver. This being DONE the
country will be saved. not only from
further obligations TO do business and
pay Its debts with the best money In the
world. but from the capitalists and syn
dlcates and combines. and the danger
OF maintaining n standing army OF
100000 men (some,hing that isn't now
contemplated.)
That is Mr.. Tcllcr's platform. and he
makes the startling announcement that,
although he Is still n Republican with
II silver lining. the Republican party Is
"a menace to the existence OF free gov
eminent" He falls In one important
feature OF his statement In not figuring
out how the plan Of the silver Republic

bring about the combine proposed be.

An Excited Contemporary.

( The Parkersburg Sentinel man flg-
ures out the danger OF 'milItarism"
which Is being thrust upon us In his
imagination. 1t Is commended to the
administration at Washington as a
timely warning against further pro-
ceeding on Its alleged reckless policy.
The article Is based on the idea that n
cali for 100000 soldiers for the Philip
pines is to be issued. Referring to an
imagined emergency, growing out OF an
alleged statement from Lawton that
100000 men are required In the Philip
pines. notwithstanding 1t has already
been announced from Washington. that
the volunteers at Manila whose terms
OF enlistment have expired, will be mus
tered out and replaced by fresh SOL
dlers.l and that the purpose Is to keep
n force OF but $4,000 men In the Philip
pine Islands, the Sentinel throws terror
Into the ranks of Its readers as follows:
=! II the, opinion OF these officers be ac-
cepted by the government as Il correct
conclusion as to the situation the number
OF soldiers necessary In the PHILIPPINES will
absorb the entire army, not leaving n
single man for Cuba. Porto Rico. or at
home. Therefore Congress will have to
provide for another army. and II the basis
of the number necessary for home and the
West indies be not changed the new army
will have to be increased to $500 There
seeras to be no way OF escape now from
the maintenance OF n monster army, which
would necessarily Increase with every ud-
ditlonal ENHANCEMENT. The Philippines,
Cuba. Porto Rico Guam, the Carolines,
and the Sandwich Islands call for much
greater army than our laws provide for,
the Samoan or Alaskan controversy
should become serious mere soldiers will
be needed. and the United States would
then ut once be degraded to military
government.
We quote the above as a sample OF
the character Of information which is
being disseminated among the people
In some parts OF this and other states.
1t may be due to lack Of knowledge, 1t
may be Intentional: we are not prepared
to say. In the present instance we are
moved to believe that ou. esteemed
Parkersburg contemporary must have
been laboring under a spell OF temper
airy excitement due to an attack OF Wis
ionary expansion Of militarism.

WHEELING. APRIL 81, 1901


General Gomez Is reported to be pre-
pairing manifesto TO his following,
favoring an American protectorate un-
til such time as stable. independent
government may be established in
Cuba. This is sensible conclusion and
II the proposition. which is endorsed by
leading men among the Cubans, is ac-
cepted by the people. 1t will facilitate
the day when the island will be COM
pletely pacifled, and the resumption OF
industry and prosperity VIII bring
about state Of contentment which will
reconcile the people to their new con-
dition.
Gomez's address. II worded properly,
should be effective. There are two
classes OF Cubans. one desiring the i'm
mediate withdrawal of American troops
and the establishment of an independ-
ent government. and another desiring
annexation to the United States. Both
want free government. The great
majority seem to desire independence,
and 1t is to these that Gomez Is to es-
pecially address his manifesto. The
purpose Is TO bring these people to un-
derstand that an Independent govern
ment can Only be successful when the
island is completely pacifled. the SOL
diers are all at work. and general re-
construction is advanced, but that these
things cannot be accomplished without
the assistance of the United States.
The establishment OF Industries. the
resumption Of the cultivation OF the
soil, the re-establishment of peaceful
conditions and the Introduction Of free
education will soon bring about sItua-
ton which will hasten the time when
the hopes Of the intelligent people in
Cuba who desire stable government
may be realized. II the annexation
feeling should grow. and the people ask
for admission to the United States, that
will be question for the future. The
sentiment in this country for annexa-
ton can be strengthened to make 1t a
popular move only on practical evidence
of the capabilities of the Cuban people.
