Saturday will witness the COM
pletion of the largest and most
imposing of the government build
ings. Painted white and orna-
mented in yellow, it stands first to
welcome the corners to Pleasant
Ridge. 1t stands as a monument
Of beautiful workmanship and
skill, and Contractor Gray and
Agent Bufold are to be highly COM
mended for the just pride they take
in showing visitors its attractions.
On the first floor is a large dining
room 3oX34, lighted by seven win
dows; a kitchen with all the mod
ern improvements; high wainscot-
ing, white walls, ventilators, an
excellent water system and 100
feet Of fire hose suspended from
the walls contribute toward the
convenienCes afforded. On the
upper floor the boys sleeping room
is separated from the girls by two
ooms assigned for the matron's
use. Latest improved vaults, por-
celain washing apparatus, clothes
presses, etc, greet the eye. Fire
escapes have been provided from
the porch that adorns the building
on the east. A great Improvement
is a sidewalk in course Of construc-
ton, of excellent lumber, with
railing its entire length along the
base of Pleasant Ridge to a point
parallel with the buildings. In
stead of fifty steps only fourteen
are now necessary to reach the top
Of Pleasant Ridge and command a
view Of our beautiful valley. The
debris is being cleared away, an
uns1ghtly portion of the fence re-
moved and the appearance of things
improved generally. PASTOR.

sEABoARD's NORTHERN OUTLET
The Air Line May Form an Alliance
With the Baltimore and Ohio.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 2.-Recent confer
ences between John SHELTON Williams
president of the Seaboard Air Line and
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road indicate that under the reorganiza-
tion of the latter company an alliance will
be formed with the Seaboard Air Line and
the Georgia and Alabama Railroad Com
pRny for a continuous system from New
York and Philadelphia to Florida.
The proposed alliance contemplates the
construction of road to connect the sea-
board and the Georgia and Alabama, the
building of link from Ridgeway, y. c.,
to Richmond under the charter of the
Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina Rail-
road. The Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad extends from Richmond
to Quantico and handles the business of
the Atlantic Coast Line. If traffic ar
rangement were made with this line to
Quantico, Va, there would be a gap of
about thirty-five miles to be built to reach
Washington, D. c., where connection
would be made with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.

the protests of partisan politicians In the
Senate nor the Mysteries of the antiquated
Federalists, with their distrust of the wis
dom and honesty of the American people
and of the soundness of republican princi-
pies, will deter the administration from as
vigorous a prosecution of this as of the
Spanish war.
Now that service in the Philippines is
something more than idling or drilling in
camp, subject TO the dangers of improper
rations and to the neglect of sanitary con-
ditions, there is widespread enthusiasm
among volunteers and regulars for an as
signment to the army of General Otis. The
recruiting business that had languished
under the policy of patience and forbear-
ance will now experience a boom. This is
the result of the attitude of the President
as it is believed to be- He has issued in
structions TO Dewey and Otis to strike
without mercy until Aguinaldo is pris-
oner or a fugitive from the islands and his
followers disband. This is the spirit that
appeals TO the minds and hearts of the
people. 1t is necessary if we are 10 pre-
serve the best fruits of our victory over
Spain.
One of these is the worlds recognition
of the real l'greatness of the Republic. Only
the English; have known the true charac-
ter of this country, and even they did not
90 full justice to our fighting qualities
How most of the nations of Europe looked
on us we could know from the contempt
expressed by Spain for the inharmonious
mercenarys stnpatriotic Americans, made
up of the refuse of the world. This false
notion was dissipated by the success of our
arms. and the Filipinos themselves were
eager 10 be annexed to the Republic. But
our long submission TO the defiance OF or
ganized rebels. and especially the failure
of the Senate TO ratify a Treaty of Peace
so much to our advantage, led the world
to doubt whether we are, in fact, a nation
of patriots intent on promoting the noble
doctrines of human liberty If we should
rest, now. with merely preventing the
capture of Manila and without. establishing
our full authority throughout the Philip
pines, we should be shamed and degraded.
This is why every loyal heart viii beat
high over the Presidents infeXibie resolve.

THE TOBACCO TRUST.
Gloomy View Taken by Danville
TEiTrs" @0' Leef Dealers

Danville. Va, Feb. 27.-The consolida-
tion of the new Union Tobacco Company
with the American Tobacco Company in
terests Danville not a little. The details of
the deal by which these two giant com-
panies become one were not known here
until Saturday, and at once the combine
was the talk of the town. Leaf tobacco
dealers, who had hoped that the formation
of the Union Tobacco Company would in
some way weaken the grasp that the
American held this market, were
greatly demo:alized and all grades OF leaf
tobacco went off in price in consequence.
The local dealers recognize the fact, or
think they do, that this consolidation
means practically absolute control OF the
entire tobacco manufacturing interests of
the country and stupendous monopoly
with capital of Sl00 600, 900 or more.
1t does, indeed, look as if the American
Tobacco Company. having step by step re-
moved from its path every yeStige OF
opposition and competition, are now un
disputed masters of the field A prominent
tobacco dealer said: LAS matters now
stand, there is no help that | can see for
the tobacco interest. This powerful COM
pany is in position TO dictate terms both
ways. II may dictate to the farmer prices
for his product, the raw material, and 10
the tobacco consumer just what price he
shall pay for the manufactured article.
The men who have engineered this
gigantic scheme and carried it to success,
continued this tobacco dealer were 100
smart TO come in conflict with law. They
have strictly complied with the law, and
the only way the power of the trust can
be destroyed is by the omnpotent might OF
the wrathful people
This seems to be the view of the tobacco
dealers and raisers generally, and already
movement is on foot to tax the tobacco
monopoly out of existence.
The recent snowstorm and the bitterly
cold weather accompanying and following
it operated against the leaf tobacco market
and caused an almost total cessation of
sales for a week. and naturally this was
followed by a rush of leaf TO market. The
result was that the past week has found
the warehouses crowded with leaf and
something over two million pounds was
sold. The consolidation of the two great
! tobacco companies, as outlined above, had
| its effect upon prices, which, in the main.
ruled low.
The Business Mems Association will have
a general meeting next Wednesday night
| when full reports on the progress of the
| fight against the railways for lower freight
rates will be submitted II is probable too.
! that the tobacco combine will come up for
| general discussion. and it may be that the
/ Governor of the State will be appealed to
TO call an extra session of the Legislature
| TO legislate against the trust.

The President FIRM.

1t is intensely gratifying TO the Ameri
can patriot TO find that now, again. when
an emergency forces a decision, President
Mckinley becomes a firm, determined
leader. ready TO uphold the rights and the
honor of the Government at any cost. He
has been reluctant TO take the necessary
step TO convince the Filipinos that this is
q nation worthy of respect, admiration, and
trust We have been represented TO them
as a timid and divided people, without
distinct policy, TO be driven away from
the Philippines by warlike demonstration
of Tagals, backed by the minority of the
United States Senate. There has been
cause enough to compel the disarmament
OF Aguinaldos army, Nbut the President has
preferred TO place the responsibility for
the increasing strength and popularity OF
that outlaw on the Senate. As long as the
Treaty remained unratified the protocol
restricted our operations and the President
could justify his federation of an irritating
and defiant army which held his procla-
nation in contempt. firmer hand would
have enforced the menace of that docu-
ment, regardless of the delay in the Senate,
and would have brought the outlaws TO a
proper regard for American authority.
Now that Aguinaldo has forced the issue
and made a desperate attack on the troops
OF General Otis, it becomes a question
whether we shall rest with the mere re-
pulse of the open enemy. II is here that
President Mckinley does honor TO himself
and TO the nation by an utter abandonment
of conciliatory policy toward the rebels.
Not until the last man lays down his arms
and submits TO the rightful rule of the
Government at Washington will there be
<ny cessation of our military activity. Not

MONDAY. FEBRUARY p. 1899.
The nemocrnttc Caucus.

The Democrats in the House are anxious
10 put themselves on record on the subject
of a Philippine policy 1t is This and not
the expectation OF ef1ecring any legislation
thai caused the call for caucus tonight.
1t is not clear just why anybody should
want to declare himself as 10 our
future policy in the case OF the peoples Of
whom we are every day learning something
new. and in relation TO country about
which our information is still far from
complete. II is not TO be supposed that
any set OF men representing great party
would care TO antagonize the immediate
policy OF the Administration. IL is simple
patriotism TO uphold the Government at
time when its lawful authority is resisted
by vicious enemy who employs methods
Of warfare that are forbidden by all the
laws Of civilized society. 1t is clearly the
first duty Of every loyal American TO stand
by the Government and TO avoid everything
that could in any way encourage and
strengthen the enemy.
As TO the future attitude of America
toward the Philippines, there is no pressing
need that anybody should speak at this
time. There is no suggestion from The
Administration of legislation for the
islands beyond what would be necessary
even if il were the distinct purpose. to
abandon them after establishing a stable
government We are compelled 10 sup
press the rebellion, and until that is done.
and until good order is fully established.
there must be military occupation. There
can be but one policy for long time to
come. What shall succeed it cannon be
wisely determined now. Our knowledge of
the Filipino character has been largely
increased in The past few weeks If it
should become clear that AguinaIdo is the
tool of The agents of foreign govern
ment which seeks TO compel us to retreat
for its own ends We do not think any
considerable part Of the American people
would favor an abandonment of our title
TO sovereignty.
Since The future probably holds secrets
that are essential to a wise decision Of
our course. it is premature for the repre-
sentatives Of a political party to project a
policy that cannot be applied until peace
is achieved and our authority is recognized
throughout the islands. Nobody viii con-
slider it cowardly in the Democrats to re-
frain from the announcement of a plat
form. unless. perhaps, it refers entirely TO
their ardent support of the Administration
in its efforts to preserve order in the ter
ritory which fate has given into its keep
ing.

Won Diederich Back Again.

1t is assumed that the arrival of the
German cruiser, Kaiserin Augusta, at Ma
Mia. is the cause of the puzzling message
of Admiral Dewey which somebody in the
Navy Department was so indiscreet as 10
make public. This is the flagship of An
miral Won Diederich, with whom there
was trouble in the early days of our occu-
patton of Manila Bay.
Holding friendly relations with this
country and taking a characteristic inter
est in the German residents in the Phil
ippines, Germany has a right to send a
warship TO Manila. But it is not really
necessary that she should. Especially il
is not important that she should send this
particular commander. against whose con-
duet the Americans have had reason to
make complaint 1t is known in Germany
that Admiral Dewey reported his trouble
with the German commander and that the
American newspapers have commented on
the unfriendly disposition of Admiral Won
Diederich when the naval officers of other
countries were eager TO conform 10 the
reasonable rules established by the Ameri-
can commander. II is also known TO the
Berlin government that Washington Off
cials have had reason to suspect German
agents at Hongkong of lending encourage
ment and even material support 10 the
Filipino rebels. II is clear, too. that the
coming of the Kaiserin Augusta TO Manila
at this time will be considered favorable
to their cause by the rebels
| For these reasons the Berlin authorities
if they are as anxious to convince
America that they are friendly as Am
bassador White represents them To b.
should not have detailed this particu ar
commander to watch events in the hilip-
! pines at close range Evidently Admiral
| Dewey believes difficulties may grow out
| of it. He mas had too much experience
with this German Admiral TO feel comfort
! able in his presence. We are engaged in
/ a war TO establish our authority in the

who have adopted the most savage meth

GRIEF MADE HER TRY SUICIDE.
4 Woman Crazed by Her Daughters
DePfh.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2T.-Mrs. Hendietta
Ostheim, of No. 24S2 Jefferson Street. tried
to end her life late Saturday night while
crazed with grief over the death of her
sixteen-y year-old daughter, from typhoid
fever. on Saturday afternoon. She was
taken to the German Hospital Her condi-
ton improved slightly after FIVE hours of
constant work with her. and while she is
critically sick, the attending physicians
expect the woman TO recover.
Mrs. Ostheim's eighteen year-old son,
Isaac stated at the hospital Saturday night
that he was absent from the house making
arrangements for his sisters funeral and
he found his mother in a critical condition
on his return He stated that some weeks
ago he purchased some paris green. which
disappeared. and it is thought that Mrs.
Ostheim swallowed the poison.
