Oh, what care for her sweet smiles
Who charmed me long agos
I've grown beyond her and her wiles,
And you may tell her SO.
She is my dearest sisters child;
My fond heart used to throb
Whene'er she looked at me and srnilet
And called me 'unky Bob
Yet LET her hunt some other out
To buy ier sweets and furs;
Ter sway o'cr me is put to rout,
But through no fault OF hers.

Tie sweetest brightest Tad,
And at his basket, kneeling down,
Am !. his dctias dad.

"Our commission expects to report

ing We have become satisfied from
the testimony Of all interests before the
commission, that the prevailing opinion
in the country is that the trust has
come to stay.
Il believe the information we have

a new interstate commerce law which
will include many Of the features con-
tanned in the Cr'lom bill.
Many have testified before the
commission concerning the Importance
Of publicity in relation TO the opera
tions OF the large corporations. and 1t
will undoubtedly be one Of the results
OF the commission work that we will
recommend the appointment OF an
official. whose duties will tally with
those Of the bank examiner. and who
shall gather facts about these COM
panies which can be used for the bene-
fit Of the government.

The Pilkiutcn Trial.

Richmond. Va. Oct l3.-The most
interesting feature in the trial Of W.
q. Pilkinton. for the killing Of W. NJ.
Flanagan, at Pownatan Court House
Yesterday, was the introduction Of Mrs
Flanagan, with the ten children Of the
dead man, the youngest being baby In
her arms. She testified as TO how she
heard Of the tragic death OF her hus-
band She went up to Pilkinton after
the shooting and spoke to him Mrs
Flanagan identified the clothes her
husband wore She denied that her
husband ever carried a pistol or that
she warned him not to have fight
with Pilkinton.
Commissioner OF Revenue Goode, Of
Powhetan. was the first witness pat on
the stand by the defense. His evidence
was very favorable to the prisoner
Once he was sharply contradicted by
Mrs. Flanagan. Mr.. Laird, the sue.
ceeding witness. also said Flanagan had
Pilkinton by the throat when the shot
was fred. Frank Hayne confirmed
this. as did q. o. Worsham. All Of
these witnesses were put on the stand
by the court. the prosecution being I'M
willing to do so.
The defense proved many threats
made by Flanagan. Another witness
testified that after the county election
Plkinton told him he wanted to be
friends with Flanagan. Several wit
nesses testified to threats by Flanagan.
The Court at the evening session heard
a good deal Of cumulative evidence.

william ]. Bryan in an interview !"

the Philippine question. He requested
the reporter to take down his exact
language. and here it is:
No. sir:I do not favor the with.
drawal Of our troops What do be-
lieve and what have repeatedly an.
nounced as my belief, is that we should
at once declare our purpose in unequiv-
ocAl terms, so positive that the Filpi-
nos cannot doubt 1t. to grant them full
and complete independence the very
mo nent they have established a stable

such an announcement as that right
now, the war would cease in very
short time and our troops conld withdraw
without laying down their arms in the
face Of an enemy. Furthermore, l
wish to state it to be my profound be-
lief that il we had come out with
such an announcement in the first
place the war would never have occur
red"
Perhaps the attitude Of the United
States, or rather what ought to be its
attitude. towards the Filipinos is here
reasonably well stated, 1t is certain
that we ought not to contemplate the
permanent possession of these distant
Islands, and the reader may remember
that In the closing days Of Congress
before the Senate would vote an ap.
preparation for the war. it
insisted upon the adoption OF
O resolution declaring that it was
not the purpose Of the United States to
retain the Philippines as colonies, or
TO incorporate them as part Of the
body politic or make American citizens
Of their inhabitants. But very diff
ferent sentiment is being preached by
the "expsnsiopists," with President
Mckinley at the head Of the procession.
II the Democrats are wise they will
encourage the Republican leaders In
this insane course. and make it the
reigning issue in the Presidential can
