ton of those brutes, apes, animals or
whatever they are, it would be diff
ferent. The boys in line have our
sympathy and the prayers of every
American citizen, but like the good
women of Nebraska say, the whole
islands and natives combined are
not worth the lives Of the boys lost
from their own regiment. The wo.
men have taken up the cause for the
Nebraska regiment, and demanded
that they be mustered out, and sent
a long cable to the boys of the regi-
ment to use their efforts to be re.
leased. They cannot be held ifthey
demand to be released, and all that
want to come home should not be
held by those who like such a life.
They have done the work that they
enlisted for, so they should not now
be compelled to subdue a class or
race OF inferior people who will al
ways be more obstinate and unruly
than the Indians have been. Ia an
interview printed in the Pstrie.
Agoncillo was quoted as saving:
"The Americans have fully realized
that they will never subdue the Fill
ipinos and that the policy of General
Otis has completely failed. The
FilipinoS have resolved to defend
themselves to the death. They haye
in their power 1900 American pris-
oners. The wet season is arriving
and fever will soon attack the Amer.
lean troops and disorganize them.
During this enforced truce We, on
the contrary, will increase the
strength of our organization. The
situation.of the Filipinos, therefore,
is far from desperate"

We Ear Too uncn

''Of the many cures in vogue and
recognized from their records as wor.
thy the name, nineItenths of them de.
pend upon reducing the diet for their
effectiveness" is the position taken by
Ella Morris Kretschmar writing on
The Subject of Diet" in the January
Woman's Home Companion.
"A widespread fad during the last
few years has been the no breakfast
cure, and thousands of dyspeptics
have gained health, the stout have
grown thin and the thin have grown
stout, all through lifting the burden
from overtaxed digestions. An equal.
~ popular cure preceding this was
the leaving off of the evening meal
equally effective, of course. lust as a
no midday meal cure would be IL It
should be promulgated
One of the most splendid cures. for
all Ills, in Europe is the grape cure,
practiced in Germany; and it is said
that any one taking the treatment
drops off the wear and tear of five
years-actually renews himself by 50
much. The sanitariums where this
treatment is given are beautiful and
healthily situated and comfortably
appointed. The patient is given moth
ing but unfermented grape Juice for a
period OF four weel1s-beginning with
generous amount, decreased to a
minimum allowance (as little as the
system will bear without great weak
ening), and gradually increased to the
frs. amount.
AT all European spas and Ameri-
can springs, where people are so bene-
fitted, what is the course? A restricted
diet and flooding of the system with
pure water-resting and washing the
system, IN other words.
Animals, those not dominated BY
the habits and thoughtIatmosphere Of
man, do not overeat, and even domes-
TIC animals stop short their nourish-
ment when in anywise i'll. A dog will
bury the food not immediately re-
quired; other animals leave off before
or at repletion. Man alone will eat
without hunger, solely to tickle his
palate, being, indeed, the only gorg-
ing animal save (truth is merciless)
the occupant OF the sty."

MAY Not Be Seated.

Washington, April 22,-Matt Quay,
acquitted yesterday morning at Phil.
adelphia of the charge of conspiracy
in the Peoples bank case and imme-
diately appointed United States SEN
ator by Governor Stone at Harrisburg,
is not likely to be seated by the Upper
House by virtue Of the appointment.
Of late the Senate has held uni
formly that when a Legislature has
an opportunity to fill a senatorial
vacancy and failed to do so the Cover
nor had no right to appoint, Begin
ming with the case of Lee Mantle Of
Montana the Senate has refused to
admit Senators appointed by Govern
ors unless the vacancy was prior to
the meeting of the Legislature.
The theory is that the power OF ap-
pointment was conferred on Govern
ors only for the purpose of having the
state represented until the Legislature
could act, and not at all as a referee
when the Legislature fails to agree.
The latest case was that of Henry
W. Corbett of Oregon, whose position
was identical with that of Quay.
The Oregon Legislature split in fac
tions and the Governor after Its
adjournment appointed Corbett. His
case was finally considered February
2S, 1898, and he was denied a seat by
the decisive vote Of 80 to 10.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
voted against Corbett on the consti'
tutional question, and Quay himself
was paired the same way. Corbett
was a Republican, clean, popular, and
admittedly qualified to be a good
Senator, but he did not get half the
Republican vote.
1t is believed here that Governor
Stones appointment was merely tC
give Quay an advantage of position
and it is predicted a special session
will be called. at which Quay will re
new the fight for reelection with the
prestige Of both an acQuittal and the
Governors appointment.
Stone was made Governor by Quay
and OF course would do anything be
was told to do, but the Senate cannot
seat Quay without doing violence tc
the uniform practice of late years
although there are older precedents
the other way.

POTATO STALK WEEVIL.
A New Insect Which Is said to BE
More Destructive Than Any of
Its Predecessors.

A new insect that has been numerous
the past year in Kansas, and is at pres
ent the most common, is the potato
stalk weevil, and is said TO be the most
destructive that the grower has to con-
tend with. Little is known Of this new
pest, as few understand the insect or
its work. The potato-stalk weeyil does
not confinc its attacks TO the potato
plant, but is to be found in weeds of
different denominations As many as
eight adults have been taken from the
stalk of the ground cherry. The horse
nettle, cookie bur, stick weed and bull
nettle are other weeds which are af-
fected by the insects. Wherever these
plants are permitted to grow wild they
are constant menace to potato grow
ing, in that they support in large num-
bers the insect to infect potato fields
in the spring. The effect of the pest
upon these weeds is not so noticeable
as upon the potato, as their vitality is
so slightly affected. 1t is shown clear
~ in the potato by the willing and
dying of the plant, especially in dry
seasons. The adult is Il small snout
beetle, and belongs to the same family
of insects as the plum curculio, and
has the peculiar beak that characterizes
this family of insects 1t is of an ashy
gray color, about one-ffth Of an inch
long, and marked by three black spots
at the base of its wing covers Spray
ing has been successfully tried upon
this pest by the Kansas state agricul-
tural college, and we advise spraying
the vines either with London purple
or Paris green, taking care that the
stocks and branches are reached by
the poison. As a precautionary meas
ure, rid the place of weeds.-Western
