THE recent financial disasters, which
are largely the result of injudicious loans
upon watered stock, are liable to throw
the trust promoters" out of employ
e and permanently check these spec
ulative prices, which have brought re-
proach upon many legitimate business
consultations required for the economi-
cal production of articles of consumption.
Legitimate consolidation of interests to
reduce the cost of production, and so re-
duce the price to consumers, is quite a
different thing from the indiscriminate
organization of enormous concerns with
inflated stock for speculation purposes
only, and the public will quickly dis
criminate between the two systems.

THE leaders OF the Democratic party
are becoming more and more perplexed
as the presidential campaign approaches.
Most factions are fairly well agreed upon
Bryan as candidate, but demands are
coming from different sections that be
amend or drop certain of his issues; then
his election will be insured. But what
issues? He cannot drop silver or he
will lose Populist and Silver Republican
votes in the West; if he opposes expan-
sion he will ALLEVIATE the South, which is
overwhelmingly in favor of the policy; if
he takes up the tariff question again, as
free traders advise, he will antagonize
workingmen in the North who are en-
joying steady employment and at in
creased wages; if he atternps to make a
strong fight on trusts he will find him.
self forestalled by the Republicans. Mr..
Bryan has expressed himself clearly on
all these questions, SO that retreat seems
impossible, and yet his attitude, as
events have shaped. is at variance with
his entire party,o one point or another.

HERE are a few notes from a single
issue of Bradstreets, that of December g.
1899: "Wages of employees in the cotton
mills in Augusta, Georgia, are to be adj
vanced January first; Pennsylvania in
dustries are employing 100000 more per-
sons than they were a year ago; 100000
New England cotton mill operatives have
received an advance of 10 per cent in
wages; the Richmond, Fredericksburg
& Potomac Railroad Company has given
the yard conductors and trackmen a 10
per cen increase in wages; about 2,4oo
workers i'll the watch factories at Elgin,
Illinois. are to receive an increase in
wages January Ist." Let's see; who was
it that said that "it's better to open the
mills thar the mints"?

The poor condition of the ice, Christmas,
was a great disappointment to many who
were out for a skate.
Fireman Arthur Douglass, an oldtime Nc

visitor, fore part of the week.
A number of the young folks gathered at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. M. c. Maxwell,
Monday night, and enjoyed a delightful time.
The Christmas tree and programme, Satur-

large and appreciative audience. The
smoothness with which everything passed off,
the way in which the children spoke their
selections, and the manner of doing the dia-
logue all spoke we'll for the pupils and teach

brought the musical part of the programme
out in fine shape. All in all, it was a merry

Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co.

THE showing made by the house of
representatives on the money question is
not encouraging to Bryanites. The house
passed the gold standard measure by a
vote of 100 to $50, every Republican and
eleven Democrats voting aye. The vote
for this bill represents two-thirds of the
people of the United States, and the next
presidential campaign will undoubtedly
start with the gold standard as the law
Of the land.

A company of school children took their
Christmas dinner at the By6eld home. No
merrier company could have been found in
this precinct.
A general neighborhood dinner was par
taken of at the school house in the north end
of district II. They always manage to have a
good time up there.
Charlie Byfield and Holton Longnecker
each have a two weeks vacation which they
are spending at home. Eddie Byield also
has a ten days vacation and is home from
Franklin academy.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Longnecker gave a
dinner to a few of the old settlers. 1t was a
very pleasant affair, for no one better under

Mrs. LOngnecker.
There is a rumor afoat that Mr.. ]. F.. Helm

Redwillow to the more quiet village of Indian

The school entertainment at Miss May
Stangland's school was one of the events of
the nelghborhood and the teacher deserves
great credit for the perfect training of the
little school. 1t was an entertainment that a
school of larger proportions need not have
been ashamed of.
One surprise party a week will not do. Last
week there were two. One at Mr.. Longneck-
er's home, the other at ] F. Helms. Both
were joyous affairs and if this thing goes on
much longer. some of the folks will have to be
surprised the second time. An oyster supper
at Mr.Sheets', next Saturday night, will afford
a different sort of dissipation.

And Willie's won the tin;

Some politicians smoked cigars,
Some drank a little gin;
Our customers drank water
And claimed twas rather thin,
But the tender, juicy meat we sell
Caused them to loudly grin.
So everybody, great and small,
Come in and see our goods this fall;
Tho we may fail, we'll surely try
To merit confidence while you buy
For all our goods will stand the test,

And the poultry is the very best

FILIpINOs TAKE TO sNAMPs.
Campaigning Very Uncomfortabie-
Filipino Women Continue Beiiicose.

MANILA, June 2t.-9 p. M.--The insur-
gent army has taken TO the swamps and
hills beyond linus. The largest force is
supposed to be in the neighborhood of
San Francisco de Malabon, holding po-
sitlon more toward the lake or toward the
coast, according as eXlgencies demand.
General Wheaton returned TO linus TO-
day, bringing three men who were wound
ed in yesterdays fighting.
The heavy rains that fall nightly make
campaigning uncomfortable. The roads
are still good. but the rice-helds adjoining
them are pools of water.
FILIPINO TACTICS.
The Filipinos will not fight unless they
can meet our troops in positions most ad-
vantageous 10 themselves, or take our re-
connoitring bodies in ambush
1t is impossible TO learn what erect
their recent defeat has had upon their
leaders. 1t should be disheartening. FOR
they had boosted that the Americans
could never conquer the province or Ca
vite. Aguinaldo' home country, where he
always crsted the Spaniards.
General Otis recently received letter
signed by native women of the province
declaring that. if all the men were killed
the women would Stiil keep up the HShl
against the Americans.
INSURGENTS WATCH AMERICA.
Copies of the insurgent organ, the IN
5ependencia, show that the F1lipinos
hopes Of success are kept aflame by po-
litical movements in America. The In

asserts that these represent the dominant

The Filipinos imprisoned two English
men at Tachobon, on the Island or

manded their release. When this was re-
fused he landed a force OF marines and
