THE VAIL OF ANGUISH.

1t is amazing that there should be any
forbfdding the bowling, shouting and
screeching of tamale peddlers in the
dead hours of night; such wailing and
dreadful crying of the tantalizing ta-
lay near enough to the streets thus
shocked by these wretched cries of an
guish. 1t was said that if the ordinance
passed the vendors would take to horns
their husky wares.
Indeed, and are the citizens then at
the mercy of these drifting, wailing
peddlers? Is there not law sufficient
and unusual noises at night and in un-
timely season? Unless we mistake, that
remnant of civilization still clings to
the statute book.
But Mr.. Dolan's ordinance was in
tended to meet a distinct and greivous
public nuisance, for these tamale cries
have been so long endured and suffered
under that mayhap they have become
usual, and therefore not within the
prohibition. But if the ordinance is
not general in its terms, so as to en-
brace all hawking of wares at night in
screeching, wailing, unintelligible and
ghostly tones, then it should be proper
ly framed For the ordinance must
not discriminate, but be general in ap-
pucation.
But this, is no reason for opposing out
Of hand the proposition in Mr.. Dolan'
ordinance Some one suggested at the
late festive and dramatic meeting OF
the Trustees that the poor devils
should be permitted to make a. living
these tanale peddlers. By all reason,
yes, let them make a living, but in
doing it make them respect the living
that they be not shocked to death by
their Internal and heart piercing walls.
They are already responsible for much
human misery and numbers of miscar-
riages of nature, by reason of their
belch upon the still air of night Of the
most startling, ear-piercing and un-
earthly means and cries, the widest
and most exaggerated dreams of fancy
ever conjured up.
But soberly, this is no trivial sub
ject, and the attempt to laugh it out
of court is not to win. The author
of the proposition is right, and he
should be sustained in his war against
the yelping Of peddler-cries in the
night time upon the streets Of the city
It is bad enough to have the soul OF
you torn with terror by the awfulesa
cry Of woe and distress that can ema-
nate from human throat; but it is in
jury aggravated to learn that no one is
being sent to doom, and that only a
vagrant tamale peddler is attempting
to blackmail peaceful people into buy
ing his silence.

Population and Wheat.

A somewhat perplexing problem con-
| fronts many American farmers and
presents to the country at large GU
rious phase of popular economics. 1t
relates to the outlook for the produc
ton Of wheat at a profit for the next
decade or longer. If the population of
the United States increases as rapidly
as in the past, it should not be very
long before the consumption of this
cereal rises to 00,OOO,00O bushels per
annurn. A slight acquaintance with
the statistics of production for the last
decade affords evidence that when any
such supply is demanded year after
year 1t will be difficult to find large
stocks of the grain or even compare
lively small ones for export. There is
reason to believe that over 4O0,OOO,OOO
bushels of the 1898 crop will be taken
for domestic consumption. In 1888,
1880 and 1892 the amount required for
this purpose was over 3SO. 100000 bush
els. Those were years of plenty follow
ing lean haryests. Under the circum-
stances, it seems fair to assume that
for the first time the great increase in
the population since the last census has
been responsible for a record breaking
demand for wheat in the home market.
1t would be a grand thing for the
country if as a. result of the augmented
demand for wheat simultaneous with
our increase in population the business
of farming on the Western plains
should again assure the income which
invited SO many into agriculture before
there was question of losses. 1t
would be better still in every way for
the nation if this should be brought
about by a firm and steady demand
for all the grain which could be pro-
duced year in and year out, and that
is a condition to which the facts ad-
duced seem to point--Providence Jour

vertised and their sale so persistently
pushed. Herein is a hint to be taken.

No one need be surprised if it turns
out to be true, as is now reported, that
Aguinaldo is desirous of opening up
negotiations with Admiral Dewey for
the conclusion of hostilities between our
troops and the insurgents. 1t is not I'M
probable that the shrewd leader of the
rebels has awakened to realization of
the hopelessness of his attempt to over
come American arms, and it is very
natural that he should wish to commu-
nicate with Dewey, in whom he has
great confidence. The same dispatch
tells us that a. chief, if not the CHIEF
reason for the resistance Of the in
surgents Is the belief among them that
the Americans proposed to continue in
force the oppressive religious tithe i'm
position that obtained under Spanish
domination. Aguinaldo, however, has
all along known the hollowness of that
belief. He received his education
abroad, and he knows perfectly we'll
that there can be no religious establish
ment under the American system. If
now his deluded followers are beginning
to ascertain the truth, his hold upon
them will be greatly weakened, AMI
that the truth must reach them cannot
be doubted. If it comes in fullness to
their intelligence before peace is nego-
tiated, Aguinaldo will fare i'll in the
house of his friends. The Malay char
acter is one that INDUCES in revengas,
and it will turn upon a friend as quick
ly as upon an enemy. Aguinaldo may,
therefore, be preparing way to per-
sonal safety before he falls into the
hands Of his deceived followers

AT this writing, Wednesday night, the
news Is that our troops near Manila
have made a steady and successful ad-
vance upon Aguinaldo, driving his
forces back in every instance, and
while suffering by loss of men killed
and wounded, the Americans have won
substantial victories and compelled
Aguinaldo to abandon his capital, So
called, and occupy a still more remote
position 1t seems that he burns and
destroys as he retreats, and leaves des-
olation IN his wake. which is Indicative
of the war that he considers defensihle.
but W hich cannot be excused. There
was no need for Aguinaldo to burn The
towns of his own people, except he uses
that method to fasten the unhappy Fill
pinos more securely to his cause. For
he Well knows that the American troops
are fully supplied with all things need
ful, have open connection with an un-
railing base, and have no need to live
upon the country through which they
pass He is not, therefore, by his in
cendaary acts in any respect impeding
our progress, but simply writing down
lnfamy in his own history
The record-union., 1899-03-30

It is altogether likely that If Agui-
naldo is not overcome completely at
Malolos, or at his new capital, wherever
that may be, that ON the fall Of the
first-named place General Macarthur
will pause in the campaign, garris on
the town and return most of hs~ troops
to Manila, while fresh bodies are sent
forward to maintain the railway open
and for future operations. He will not
certainly now pursue Aguinaldo into
the hills in the rainy season If the In
surgent is successful in fleeing to the
uplands. For if he is driven into sucn
retreat he will not be- particularly dan
gerous to our armies, though he may
annoy the outposts considerably. But
in the meanwhile our Commissioners
will be able to reach a large body of
homes, from which they have been
driven by fear and the torch. Thus the
way will be opened for convincing these
frightened and deceived people that we
entertain towards them no evil designs;
have come to tighten, net to augment,
their burdens, and that there is no
reason whatever for their adhesion to
the insurgent cause. Letters from the
seat of war give encouragement THAI a
change of sentiment Is going on among
the Filipinos, and that there may az
any moment be an open disavowal by
the leading men Of alliance with Agui-
naldo. This change is looked for for the

Alameda Argus: We do not know how
the situation at Manila may be re-
garded by those who have knowledge
on the subject and are close to the
avenues of information, but to US it is
disquieting. The warning natives have
plainly not been vanquished, and ap-
parently not disheartened. They have
been pushed back, but not dispersed,
and they continue defiant about Manila,
while becoming restless in other parts
of the country. The heavy slaughter
inflicted on them does not matter, as
their number appears to be legion. Our
forces are not strong enough, evidently.
to strike a sudden, crushing blow, and
the hesitation in doing so is no doubt
due to a realization of the fact that to
attempt it and fail would precipitate
a terrible disaster, that might end in
the wiping out of our forces. There.
are not men enough at Manila to put
a speedy and effectual end to the in
surrection- With double the force now

The Woman of Fascination.

The woman of fascination IS never
what is called an educated woman,
than which there is nothing more re-
pellant to the sane and world-taught
mind.
She feels that she has a mission to
instruct all those who do not happen
to have learned precisely the same
things that she has learned. More
over she is very self-conscious and
painfully aware of her own mentality.
She is therefore intellectually like the
vulgar parvenu who has raked a sud
den fortune from some mud heap and
makes himself offensive by his eager
ness to let you know how much ne Is
worth.
Blue eyes-that is to say, unmitl'
gated china blue-are never fasclnat
ing IN a woman. But blue eyes verg
ing upon gray, and also eyes OF any
other color, may be admitted to thu

A Use for Liquef1ed Air.

II IL reported that a new use mas
been found for liquened air, the possi-
bilities of which have been matters OF
discussion among scientific men TOT
some time. According to the Mining
Reporter, a discovery was made recent
ly b. which 1t is now practical to use
liouefled air in underground work, sucn
as mining, driving tunnels and sinking
shafts. It lie said that under proper
conditions the liberation of air from
the liquid can be effective in general
ing power with which to run drills un-
der ground, pumps, hoists, etc.. while
cool air can also be supplied In the
deepest mines. The liquid air can al
so be used in freezing soft ground
making tunnel cutting less hazardous
and tedious. If there is any reliable
ity In this reported discovery, and its
success can be practically demonstrate
ed. 1t will make new departure in the
lines OF work named, and once again
make the genius of science the soul OF
Industrial progress.

! u.-a .oncernin1 underclothing

A word concerning underclothing
may be timely. There is controversy
always going ON for and against WOOL
len undergarments. The writer per-
sonally prefers wool in both summer
and winter, and when OF extremely
light weight, has found it decidedly
the most comfortable wear, even in
tropical climates; but the question,
after all, is not so much one of ma
terial as Of texture. The important
point is that cloth for undergarmerts
should be loosely woven; then 1t may
be of wool, cotton, linen or silk, as the
wearer prefers.
