with a good deal of force that as the Fill

determined by the protocol and we can do
little but remain on the defensive since
we are under obligation to contlne our
selves TO Manila and the territory imme-
diateiy surrounding It, To suppress tho
Filipinos we must be allie to pursue them
and occupy all the principal points in
Luzon and also Iloiio. But after we get
sovereign rights over the islands through
the ratification of the treaty 1t Is to be
feared there is n hard task before us
before We get actual possession Of them,
and establish peaceful submission. We
have been fiattering ourselves that be-

more benevolent than was that of the
Spaniards, because we intend to give
them good government and not TO exploit
them solely for our own benefit, our task
Of getting possession of them would be
comparatively easy, but this collision at

made up its mind to do 1t we hope 1t will

clear enough that the administration at

THE OUTBREAK IN THE PHILIP
PINES,

The news of fighting at Manila is not
been in a threatening attitude for some
time past, and several times hostilities
have been averted only by the exercise of
the greatest tact and forbearance on the
part of our commanders. As far AS can
be Judged from the dispatches received
up to the time Of writing the movement
of the insurgents was inaugurated delib.
erately and was not the result of some
accidental collision. The knowledge that
endorsements for our troops were on
their way probably fastened the attack.
Our troops appear to have been entirely
successful in Iepelling the insurgents, and
their losses happily are not serious. The
grave thing about this engagement is the
intense hostility on the part of the ma
tlyes TO our occupation which 1t discloses.
Our offer of benevolent assimilation"
has met with a rude rebuff, and IL looks
as If we would gain actual sovereignty
over the islands, only after hard strug-
gle in which we must expend good
many lives and much treasure. The ma
sves of Luzon are less warlike and more
jractable than those OF some of the other
Islands, and our task in the latter is like
~ TO be even more severe than in Luzou.
The fact that we have rssorted to powder
and bail, even though it has been in self
defence, Will greatly increase the diff
ruities of convincing any of the natives
that we have gone to the archipelago
with benevolent intent. They will look

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6.

The farmers OF ScarboIo are taking II
pretty lively interest in public affairs
and we are glad to sec it. The citizen
of q free country can never be too much
interested in what goes on in thu body
that makes laws for him. The members
of that body are his servants and he
ought TO see to it Lthat they serve him
well. 1t is not necessary to agree to all
the positions they have taken to COM
mend the vigilance of the Scarboro
farmers.

Sooner or later the "embalmed beef"
scandal will have to be Investigated to de-
termine where lay the responsibility for
The furnishing Of this beef and its accept
ance, for there is no longer any room for
doubt that bad beef was supplied the
army. The reputable packers of the
country will force an inquiry If nobody
else does, for this scandal has already
cost them millions and will cost them
many more unless it is cleared up and the
guilt fixed where it belongs. The conduct
of General Miles is making his charges
through the newspapers instead of the
regular military channels is merely Incl
dental TO the larger question of the re-
sponsibility for the bad beef. While there
may be a difference Of opinion in regard
TO his methods there can be no difference
of opinion as to the Importance of his
disclosures. The health of our force in
Porto Rico, certainly, and probably of
some other divisions of the army was put
in serious jeopardy by bad beef furnished
by rasca!y contractors and accepted by
incompetent or rascally inspectors. The
country will never permit this scandal TO
go unexpI.red. The sooner this is under
stood and the whols matter is probed to
the bottom. the better for the administra-
tion. Let no guilty man escape"

The Scarbnro farmers have resolved that

tinue there We should be inclined TO
modify that somewhat. II we We're to
submit "a resolution it would DO that no
appropriation should be made for the
Eye and Ear Intirmary until the charges
recently made by "a reputable physician,
were investigated in a decent and inn
partial mannsr with view of getting at
the truth. After that is done and the
facts are ascertained it can be determined
whether this Institution is deserving of
aid from the taxpayers Not cent should
be given it until these charges are cleared
up We do not say this in any spirit of
hostility to the institution. Neither do
we mean TO affirm the truth OF the

serious enough and that a sufficient
prima facie case has been made out TO
demand searching investigation before
any appropriation is made for its benefit.

BUTTER MEN OWN THE TOWN
w. IL. RiddeI Returns from Sioux
Falls and Reports II Great
Gathering.

w. f. Riddell OF this city has returned
from the national convention of the Butter
and Creamerymen's association which is still
in session at Sioux Falls, S. d., and reports
large and enthusiastic meeting In speak
ing OF the convention he says: Fully 25OO
delegates are in possession of the town and
no one seems to question their right to run
matters to suit themselves. The convention
is getting down to work and already many
papers of value and interest to the butter
making fraternity have been presented.
The most interesting feature of the meet
Ing, however, seems 10 be the contest which
is on between ST. Paul, Duluth and Lincoln
as TO which city shall have the next conven-
ton. As soon as a delegate arrives he is
buttonholed and covered with badges OF the
different cities, but up to date the Lin
coin badges seem 10 be most in evidence
ST. Paul offers more money than Lincoln
but the latter city seems TO have the largest
following, so it is quite likely that Ne
braska will entertain the next convention
The Iowa men are pulling hard for the presi-
oency and il they are successful they will
probably support the Nebraska delegation in
Its contest"

Members of the local live stock exchange
and Others interested in the rapid handling
OF mail have sent letters to Congressman
Mercer in relation to the inadequate service
given the Exchange building and the pack
ers since the new fast mail trains have been
put on. In the letters sent no complaint
is made against the present force. but the
need for more help In the postofiice here Is
emphasized.
Since the fast trains were placed in serv-
ice the collection of mails has not been
satisfactory to the commission men or the
packers neither has it met the approval of
shippers through Iowa and Nebraska. One
important objection is that the early morn
ing collection Of mail at the Exchange build
ing, which 10 made about s O'clock is made
too long before the departure of the east
bound morning mail trains. Another is that
the second collection in the afternoon, which
has always taken the mail for the east
bound fast mail trains. misses it entirely
under the present arrangements.
In order to assist the postal department
In explaining just what is wanted. the stock
yards and exchange people have suggested
that the following schedule OF collections
would be satisfactory to all. The time given
is only approximate. but 1t should be
near the departure Of the trains as possible:
Morning collections at $40. $3.50 and IL 20.
Afternoon at ! 80. 2:20 and 4:25.
THE deliveries OF mail as made at pres
ent are entirely satisfactory. Five deliv-
cries and fve collections are now made daily.
but the schedule suggested to the depart
, ment calls for six collections. leaving the

RUNS UP AGAINST 1T AGAIN
Once More Ehrhnrt is in Police COur,
and is Held in Bonds, to the
District Court.

Again Irah b. Ehrhart has been bound over
to the district court, this time on the charge
OF grand larceny, which was filed against
him by the smith Premier Typewriter com
pany. The defense introduced no testimony
and the court held the defendant in the sum
OF $500. His brother in-law, J. e. Brown
Will be compelled to give 800 bond for his
appearance as witness against Ehrhart
The typewriter which Ehrhart is charged
with having taken by proxy from the Office of
r. r. Pike was traced to his home, where it
was seen by his brother r-in-law. Ehrhart
told Brown afterwards that he had shipped
the machine to Denver and Thursday it was
returned having been taken from box OF
household goods which Ehrhart had sent
there. 1t will be used as evidence against
Ehrhart in the district court.
Charles Ellis and Peter Green were tried
for breaking and entering the dwelling house
OF r. G. Pierce, 5l4 South Thlrteth street, in
the daytime. January 49, when $50 worth of
lead pipe was torn out. The defense sought
to show that the boys bought the pipe from
a man, Sam Jones, in Florence. They were
trying to sell it at a junk shop when the
officers arrested them.
In his argument. the attorney for the de-
fense raised the point that this could no,
be called dwelling because 1t was unoccu-
pied at the time the robbery occurred: that
1t could not be considered the dwelling of
Mr.. Pierce at any time because he mad never
occupied 1t; that ownership OF the house was
not proven, and lastly because the pipe was
part OF the real estate He introduced a
number or authorities and the court took
the matter under advisement promising to
render his decision this afternoon.

William Barrier. the alleged dynamiter,
was brought down from the county jail yes
terday afternoon for a preliminary hearing,
but at his o~n request it was postponed until
Saturday, February 4. Red" Morrisey is
to be tried on Saturday of this week. One
OF the assistant county attorneys came down
to look after the hearing and was agreeable
TO the continuance of Barriers hearing as
1t is thought that considerable evidence can
be obtained in the interval Just what the
charge against Barrier will be has not been
made public, but the statement was made
that he would be punished for his practical
joke. The idea is gaining ground among
those who have been sweating" Barrier
that he is mentally weak and was playing
for notoriety and a job when he planted
the dynamite. Morr'sey will most likely
be handled as a vagrant when his case comes
up Saturday. Investigation shows that ther,
was no woman with Barrier on the night IL
