Mckinley and Hobart.

NO president and vice president
have ever been so intimate as McKin-
ley and Hobart. Cleveland and stew
enson had nothing in common, and for
several good reasons were not friends.
Harrison and Morton were friendly,
but uncongenial. Cleveland and
Hendricks hated each other, and ev-
erybody knows of the quarrel between
Garfield and Arthur over the distrlbu-
tion of patronage in New York. Hayes
and Wheeler were friendly, and the
vice president would go to the White
House every Sunday night with other
friends and sing hymns. Grant and
Colfax and Grant and Wilson got
along rairly we'll together but in both
cases each had more intimate friends
Lincoln was always suspicious of
Johnson, and Johnson always spoke Of
Lincoln with contempt. So We have
to go back to Mr.. Hamlin's time in or
der to find vice president who pos
sessed the thorough confidence of the
president and was on what are called
in mate terms with him.
Between MI Lincoln and Mr.. Ham
Ian there were no secrets and no lack
C. confidence. But even they We're not
so brotherly as Mckinley and Hobart.
The vice president goes over to the
White House, walks into the presi-
dents room and says: Hello!
What are you doing now?" just as if
they were law partners, and the pres
ident will call in Colonel Montgomery
and say, Tell Mr.. Hobart to be ready
to go driving at half past A." 1t Is

Is a Native of Marietta.

From William l.. Smith, Chicago,
senior aide-camp and chief of staff of
the National G. A. r., captain L. j.
Cutter recently received a letter. In
the letter the distinguished gentleman
refers to the fact that he halls from
Marietta, and thus beautifully brings
up some old memories:
Il had the good fortune to be born
and raised in your old town, but / have
been about 1t very little since enter
ed the service on the 10th day of June,
1861. In my boyhood / knew every
body, but time and the years of my
absence hive limited the circle of ac-
qualntances greatly l fear. My saint
ed mother and a brother and a sister
sleep in the old cemetery, situated be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, IL /
remember rightiy;and if mistake not
some Of my relations on my mothers
side still reside in the city. The last
year of my school life was passed in
the old High School building on Seam
mel street, between Third and Fourth.
| haven't seen the old town since 1885,
since when, | am informed, many
changes and improvements have been
made. In former years it was indeed
happy, comfortable, sleepy old town.
and / shall ever treasure fondest rec
olleations within my heart for the
happy, careless days of my boyhood,
passed within its boundaries.

Indorses McKinley's Policy.

Addressing the Iowa Democrats at
Des Monies, William jennings Bryan
delivered himself upon these lines as
to the duty of the United States in the
Philippines:
But we should not only give the
Filipino independence, but also protec-
ton. We should protect him from
his enemies We should establish a
government and then tell him it is his,
and then we should tell all the world,
Hands off" That would he a declar-
alton of American princlplese.
Exactly. That Is eminently correct.
Protection is just what we did give The
Ilipinos-protection from the Span
ish. Then by the overt acts of agi-
tators and insurrectloniats within
their ranks it became necessary to
give them protection against them
selves. 1t also became necessary to
protect other interests to which our
occupancy of the Philippines commit
ted us. That was duty we could not
shiTk. And as soon as he has been
brought to a proper realization of our
position and a full sense of his own
well being. we are ready to establish
for the Filipino a wise and good gov
ernment and tell him that it is his.
Upon his acceptance of 1t we will very
promptly tell all the world Hands
off!"
Right you are, Colonel Bryan. That
is exactly the declaration of American
principles this government is waiting
to declare to the Fllipinos and toward
the Philippines. Il is extremely un-
fortunate that this announcement Is
delayed indefinitely by the inslstence
upon the part of Aguinaldo's Tagals-
aided and abetted by malcontents here
at home-that we first conquer by
armed conquest this misguided and
wrongly encouraged insurrectlon.-

Strength of the Army.

Recruiting will probably be contin-
ued until the army reaches the author
lied strength of 100000 men. About
so 900 regulars have been enlisted
leaving room for 5000 more The ten
volunteer regiments, with total of
19 ,O90 men, are practically full. Gen.
Otis is organizing in the Philippines
two regiments OF infantry and one OF
cavalry, with total Of 1866 men, one
half of whom will be obtained from
the volunteers leaving Tor home. The
three regiments will be filed with re-
cruits from the United States. We
have still over 10000 regulars in Cuba
and nearly 5000 in Porto Rico. In
Alaska is a total of 40O soldiers and in
Hawaii 4S3 These two possessions
are light charge in military sense.
Some of the troops in Cuba might be
withdrawn from present peaceful in
dications throughout the island, but as
the details of pacification are still
ahead and a general election to be
held at some time in the future it is
doubtful if the existing army of 10000
will be much reduced.
In the Philippines are 22,55O regu-
lars and 5072 are on the way there
BY the end of the month Otis will
have total of 1882 regulars. In
San Francisco, ready to sail, are 2SO1
men, which will make Uhe aggregate
30 423. The three regiments organiz'
ing at Manila, and in service now a:
far as recruited, will bring the aggre'
gate to 34,2SS. Ten new volunteer
regiments, whose ranks are now full
can depart for Manila as soon as
transports ara ready. This gives az
aggregate of4S, ,951 fighting men who
should be in the Philippines before the
end of November. Nearly 10000 more
recruits could be accepted before the
maximum of 100000 men is reached
They can easily be obtained long be-
fore ships could be secured to tekt
them across the Pacific. The problem
of ocean transportation must be allow
ed for, but in any case the end Of the
rainy season will find a powerful Am-
crican army in Luzon, and re-enforce-
ments in hand, If needed.-Globe Dem

France is on trial rather than Drey-

are far beyond the significance of any

OUTLET TO HIGHLAND PARK.
A ROAD SOUTHWARK ORDERED
OPENED.
New Operating Room at the County

Supervisors.

At yesterdays session of the Board of
Supervisors the report of the viewers
of the road petitioned for by r. Davis
and others for a road leading south
from Highland Park to the Middle
Freeport road, on a line with the
Twenty -fourth-street extension, was

over two miles in length, and the esti-
mated cost for damages is 81 ,2S1. 40.
]. H. McKune, counsel for Moses
Sprague, Informed the board that the
latter would oppose the opening of the
road unless allowed $500 damages. If
not allowed that sum the board could
get the land only by a suit in court.
The sum estimated by the viewers
as damages for Sprague's land was
$26S.34.
L. M. Lincoln, representing Mrs. Ed
wards, said the latter would consent
to the opening of the road if allowed
. proper sum. He could not say if the
$267.26 allowed by the viewers would
be satisfactory, but would report to her.
Carl Strobel, representing Mrs. My
ers, thought the $50 allowed her would
be about right.
Chairman Curtis moved that the
prayer of the petitioners be granted:
that the sums allowed by the viewers
as damages be set aside from the funds
of Road District No. 4, to pay for the
same, and that the road be declared
opened and public highway.
The damages allowed Curtis, Hebron

states that the Board of Supervisors

was the duty of the board to adopt
such an ordinance as prescribed.

passed in 1883.

MRS. FEELS DEATH.
It Is Believed to Have Been Ac-
cideutal.

Mrs. Gertrude Fiel, the woman who
on Thursday night threw herself Cor
felD from third story window at SIT
Eleventh street, Oakland, and who died
without recovering consciousness, was
well known in Sacramento County, and
particularly in Folsom, where much Of
her life was passed at the home of her
mother and step-father. Captain Ben
Chambers, formerly Of the Folsom
Prison guard.
She was related to some of the best
known people in Folsom, and was a
general favorite being light hearted,
careless and full of humor.
Friends in this city who knew her
we'll believe that the fall which result
ed in her death was accidental. They
think she threw up the window, leaned
out for a breath of air, lost her balance
and fell. They cannot, knowing her
disposition and how much she enjoyed
life, bring themselves to believe that
