When it is reported from .,Ianila that
the American army has captured the
wardrobe of Mrs. Aguinaldo, we have
no criticisms to pass upon the truth
of the statement. But when it is fur
ther stated that the wardrobe filled
twelve barrels, we must respectfully
reserve the right to doubt the truth
Of the report. From the pictures we
have seen Of the first ladies Of the
Philippines the inference is irresistible
that, if there is female apparel enough
in the Philippine islands to fill twelve
barrels it has been well concealed.

Only two vessels of the new Amer
lean navy have been lost-the second
class battleship Maine in Havana har-
Dor and the cruiser Charleston on the
north coast of Luzon. The Charles
ton was laid down in 1897 and the
Maine in 1885, The only cruisers of
the new navy older than the Charles
ton are the Atlanta, Boston and Chi
cago, laid down in 1888. The destruc-
ton Of the Charleston five years ago
would have been serious loss to the
United States navy. That it is not
sch now is because so many new ves-
sells have been built or have been au-
thorized in the last few years.
Whenever a warship is lost in the
German navy new vessel is ordered
without alteration of the naval pro-
gram for any particular year. The
same plan should be followed in our
own navy. We are to have a new
Kearsage and a new Maine, and if the
Charleston cannot be saved we should
have new vessel to lake its place.

The Grand FORKS Plaindealer is
kicking because nails are so much
higher than several years ago. The
fault lies with the esteemed democratic
party OF which the Plaindealer is so
ardent and so forceful an exponent.
The fact Of the matter is that nails
were so greatly in demand when it was
necessary to nail all the lies set afoot
by the democratic and populist cam
paign orators in the last campaign that
though the mills have been working
overtime they have peen unable to
eaten up with the demand since.

fhe newspapers are circulating a
reported interview with ADMIRAL
Dewey in which is given what pro-
fesses to be his opinion of General
Otis. and which is by no means COM
plimentary to the general. We are of
the opinion that the interview was
written by the same man who wrote
the famous interview with the admiral
in which he was made to state that
the next war of the United States
would be with Germany. And it is

time tables for the planets owe the
good people of this country an ample
and abject apology. The meteor dis
play which was so extensively and
profusely advertised throughout the
country that the open air for the last
two or three nights has been crowded
with outstretched necks and the dark
ness Of the night pierced with eager
eyes, failed to pan out. 1t has been
q lamentably poor show. 1t has been
sort of Uncle Toms cabin with only
one Eva and NANCY bloodhound.
Where we were promised mcteors by
the thousands. we have seen but one
or two scraggy leonids, possibly where
some resident Of another planet spilled
little candle grease into the ether.
Astronomy is too dignified a science
thus to trihe with the curiosity Of the
people. Indeed, we can easily imag-
inc the residents Of far off planets
gazing scornfully at the people of this
little earth during the two or three
nights last past and contemptuously
crying "Rubbcrneck!' 1t is not a
pleasant thought by any means. 1t

ago-when it was announced that the
Associated Press report would be re-

age to a certain extent, he still does not
hope to land where Senator Roach did.
But he will be treated with fairness, and
will have place on all committees where
the state has interests.
Congressman Spalding, like Senator
McCumber, will not come in for as good

The western part Of the state par
ticipates in the general prosperity,
and the Dickinson Press thus felici-
tates:
Dickinson is the best town of it's
size in the state. \ big lumber yard,
grain elevator. Il fine brick blacksmith
shop, new state bank, a cigar fac
tory, and the installing Of the finest
pressed brick plant in the northwest
are among the new Industries and inn
provements which nave come to Dick
inson during the year of 1899. Further
than this the citizens Of the place have
during the past week subscribed nearly
$4,000 for an electric light plant to
be owned and controlled by home peo-
pie. 1t will take little time to in
corporate and get bids for putting in
a plant but it is surely coming during
the next six months. Everybody is
prosperous around Dickinson and
with the vast stretch of rich farming
and grazing country tributary. the
place is destined to become one of the
most important business centers in
North Dakota.

The Oswego (Kan.) Independent has
resurrected an olu banner which was
carrier in populist professions during
the campaign Of 1896 Here are the
Inscriptions it bore:
"a Vote for Mckinley Means More
Tramps.''
''McKinleys Election means:
: '10-cent Corn.
''25-cent Wheat.
"S-cent Oats.
ISL per ton for Hay.
80 cents per pouru for Butter.
''3 cents a dozen for Eggs.
"2-cent Hogs.
''11h cents for fat Cattle.
''No money to larry on Business"
1t is unnecessary to say that no class
of people in Kansas are more ashamed
of this banner now than the populists
themselves.

The western railroads are having
great difficulty in securing men to op-
crate their trains. and were there
enough cars TO carry off the business
that has accumulated along the lines
they could not accept more business
unless they could secure more men.
Engineers, tiremen and train crews
are wanted. Labor on the conStruc
ton Of new roads and the repair Of old
ones is about as hard to find as is
skilled labor Western roads have
staining orders with labor employ
ment agencies in all the large cities for
men, but there are no men to be found.
For the mines in washington and Mon
tana agents have been securing the
middle states and have even gone into
the pinerics and offered large wages
for men. In the lumber regions. also,
only small crews have been found. and
many of the mills have been obliged
to partially Shut down for want of
men to handle their logs. The Twin
cities, which for years have been a
supply depot for western labor. cannot
begin to supply Il small portion of the
demand. The recent return of about
two .-lousand Italians from the con-
struction forces Of the northwestern

climate and who go south to work dur

as yet have not been supplied.

and their stock Of household goods, which
have started from Indiana with this point

the means to go ahead. On arriving

EASTER SUNDAY falls on April 81
this year. In response to inquir-
les, it may be stated thet the
establishment Of the Christian fes-
tival of Easter, typical of the resur-
rection Of the Lord was a matter
of much controversy in the church
for centuries, but was finally settled
by the Gregorian calendar adopted
by the Roman church in 1852, and
Easter is always the first Sunday
after the full moon which happens
upon or next after March 2lst,
which date is the beginning of the
ecclesiastical year. Therefore the
earliest date upon which Easter
may occur is March 22d. IF the
full moon should fall OIL March
3lst, Easter is the following Sun
day. The latest date on which the
festival may fall is April Is. In
l716 and in 1918 Easter fell on
March 22d, but it will not occur
again in this or the next century.
In 1886 it fell on April 25th and
will do SO again in 1913.
