The fight next year will be between
Bryan and free silver and Mckinley

the appropriation bills required for
running the government and will act in
diligently and patriotically on the rec

Rico. If the situation in the Philip
pines becomes better congress will
enact the required legislation for those
islands. In my opinion, before con-

such as to allow the president to turn
the islands over to congress for legisla-

HowELLs. THE NOVELIST.

Since Mr.. William Dean Howells has
assumed the new role of lecturer and
is speaking in the west on the subject
of 1.-The Novel and Novel Writing" a
new interest in him has been awakened.
He is justly regarded as the leading
American novelist. A western journal
in comparing him with Mr.. James, his
only peer in perfect finish and aceu-
racy of style notices that the latter
has to some extent expatriated himself
by following English models, but Mr..
Howells has never swerved from his
first allegiance to the American type.
The merchant, the farmer. the banker,
the journalist, the matron, the spinster
of all ages. and the young girl in all
phases, have been his material, and ne
has wrought in them with perfect
artistic comprehension and with a
consciousness altogether unmatched in
our literature. A sketch Of his career
and his development as writer is APP

AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES.

When six weeks ago the sales in the
Boston wool market reached 10000, 600
lbs, 1t was considered a record breaker,
and predictions were made that this
figure would not soon be reached again.
Yet last week records a total of 16,26s,-
600 lbs! In addition to the demands OF
manufactures pressed with orders,
Spectators bought heavily last week
and there was much buying on English.

further advance and refused to let their
holdings go. But for this the sales
might possibly have gone to 2O,000000.
AT Charleston, South Carolina, Brit
ish Consul Coe tlogan has given out con-
tract for 1900 mules, presumably for
use in the South African war. The work
of securing such number of mules at
this season Of the year is not an easy
task, as the market in this state is
short on mules.

William Johnson, three miles north of

and never had horse on the place.
He is known throughout this section
as 1.-THE horseless farmer" He raises
corn, potatoes, cabbage, celery, melons
and all kinds of vegetables, all the
land being under cultivation. Johnson
does all the work himself by hand. He
has hand plows, hand cultivators, hand
planters, and hand harvesters. Even
the marketing is all done by hand. He
trundles his crop to town in wheel
barrow, making an average of three
trips day the year around. In the
30 years johnson and his wheelbarrow
have travelled 16S,Oo0 miles nearly
seven times around the world. When a
boy he was kicked by a horse, and
since then he has had nothing to do
with horses.

PEOPLE UPHOLD THE GOVERN
MENT.

i
Many writers are reaching the con-
clusion that the most important lesson
OF the late election is found in the sup
port of the government Philippine poll
icy. On this score the New York Trib-
une says:
THE one issue in the election of 1899
which directly affected the welfare and
honor of the country has been conclu-
sively settled Many times it has been
said that capacity for self government
was shown in nothing else so surely as
in knowing what issue was al a given
time of the highest actual Importance
and how to meet il. Not for the first
time nor for the fiftieth, Americans
have shown precisely that capacity.
Many blundered, but the majority
proved its right 70 rule. The majority
saw that all else was of secondary iln-
portance compared With the support OF
the national government in its suppress
sion of an armed rebellion. Whatever
else the elections proved, or failed to
prove, they show beyond question that
a large majority Of the voters mean TO
uphold the government in its dealings
with the Philippine Islands, and to give
to it at home and in all foreign lands
the prestige and power which come
from the support of a great self gov
erning nation.
While the result Of the voting was yet
to be ascertained there We're reasons
for such support which some persons
thought it unwise to discuss Every
body had been duly informed that the
conduct of Aguinaldo and ms insurgent
followers would be affected, and pos
sibly so much as to end the contest be-
fore long, because his force had been
kept together for some months, accord
ing to the testimony of the most trust
worthy generals or civil commissioners
who had Investigated the matter main
~ by the belief that the democratic ops
position to the government would
either formally change its course or else
cripple its action. Though the real
meaning of the elections in respect u
