wise choice in selecting teachers for the COM

WHAT THEY SAY.
The Nebraska Troops Give Their Opin-
ions About Matters In the
Philippines.

The Nebraska soldiers, on their ar
rival at San Francisco, were industri-
ously interviewed by the newspaper
reporters, and in the main agreed in
their opinions about matters in the
PHILIPPINES.
They all agreed that the volunteers
were given most of the fighting to do,
and the Regulars were saved. The
reason given for this was the fact that
Otis wanted to get all the service he
could out of the volunteers before they
were mustered out.
They agree that it will take an army
of $4,000 to 100000 men to whip the
F1lipinos, and put down the guerillas
and keep them down.
The most of them think the last big
battle has been fought.
Some think the Filipinos will keeI
up guerilla warfare for years.
None of the Nebraska officers wOult
praise General Otis. They didn't like
the way he had over worked theil
regiment.
Gen. Grant, of the Utah battery
praised Gen. Otis very highly.

AL.bER AT HOME.
He Has a Magnificent Reception at
Detroit.

Secretary A1ger arrived home, at
Detroit, Wednesday night, and had a
reception from the people,
regardless of party. Gov. Pingree
made the welcoming speech, and among
other things intimated that President
Mckinley asked for Alger's resignation
because he hadn't the courage to with
stand the attacks of the yellow press.
The Secretary, in his address, said:
"And now, my fellow citizens, come
home without grievance. During
that struggle and while that great work
was upon me, / can truthfully say that
| had from the President all the sup
port that he could give. We went
through that struggle and came out
victorious. We transported across the
seas more than 10000 men, one way
and the other, without an accident.
We fought battles in the Philippines,
| in Cuba and in Puerto Rico, and we
never lost battle, a color, prisoner
or a gun. Wherever the American
flag was planted by the American sol
dier, there it stands and there it shall
stand forever. But, as 1 said, l have
no speech to make. l am glad to bt
among you again, private citizen, ant
that can travel these streets and NEE
you in social and business intercourse
and I propose to stay here the balance
of my life. Good night.

The Sulu islands lie south of the
Philippines. They belonged to Spain
and were ceded to the United States.
The inhabitants are Mohametans and
are not much more than half civilized.
They are ruled by a Sultan, and he has
evidently been seen, for he has ex-
pressed himself as very favorable to
the Americans. In recent proclama
tion, to his people, he says:
81 have met the Americans. They
have come among us as friends, not to
interfere with our religion, rights OF
government. All those who love theil
country or sultan, I warn to be friendly
and not molest them. The Americans
are like box of matches-you strike
one or two and they all blaze up"

WITHOUT A PARTY.

Jones, of Toledo, is man of correct
life and good intentions; but he is an
impracticable. He has recently cut
himself lose from the Republican
party, and says:
81 will never again wear the label of
any party, or claim political loyalty to
anything less than all of the people,"
This is pretty, but not business.
There can be nothing done without
parties. If all the people were in
favor of any set of principles, they
could do nothing, unless they organ
lied to select men to run for the offices.
If the people are divided then there
are parties. A party is simply an Or
ganization to carry out the principles
held in common by its members. The
parties that be, can only be defeated by
another party. Both parties sometimes
become faithless to the people, and a
third party is formed that defeats both
of them, as the Republican party was
made up of men who came out of the
Whig and Democratic parties. But
unless there is revolt of the people
against the existing parties third
parties simply destroy the influence
and lose the votes of those who go into
them.

Cleanliness is next to godliness." Dirt and
depravity go hand in hand. This is just as
true of the inside of the body as the outside
Constipation clogs the body and clouds the
mind. Constipation means that corruption is

its foul emanations, befogging the brain with
its tainted exhalations. Constipation is the
beginning of more diseases than, perhaps, any
other single disorder. The consequences OF
constipation are legion. Headache pain in

boy walked out on the tongue of the wagon to
fix it. Some little boys, who were on the
wagon, commenced to shout and laugh and
the horses became frightened and ran to the
barn. The boys, having jumped out escaped
injury, although one wheel was off and also

The First Nebraska regiment arrived
In San Francisco from the Philippines,
Saturday night. An eye witness thus
tells of the ovation they received: The
report that the men were to march to
the Preside between > and in the
afternoon served to line Market street
and Van Ness avenue with a solid wall
of humanity. Probably 100000 people
were gathered to welcome the Nebraska
boys along the line of march. Men,
women and children boarded the trans
port, loaded with gifts of California IS
choicest fruits and flowers for the First
Nebraska. The most gorgeous and
fragrant blossoms and the juiciest april
cots, peaches and pears were none too
good for the slouchiest private aboard
the Hancock. The vicinity of the dock
was black with humanity, and the
whole of the water front took on a
Fourth of July appearance in honor oi
the returned volunteers.

The Democratic leaders in Ohio are
terribly exercised over the announce
ment of Mayor Jones that he will be in
the field as an independent candidate
for Governor. They recognize the
fact that Jones Will get the greater
part OF his votes from the Democratic
party, and they realize that they have
no votes to spare.-Lima Gazette.
1t is not so certain, that he would
draw most of his votes from the Demo
cratic party. In the Democratic
counties, this is probably so; but in
Republican counties, the reverce is
probably true. This will make it a
question as to which party will gain by
his running.

YELLOW FEVER
At the Soldiers Home, Hampton
RhOads Cases.

Although there have been forty cases
and four deaths from yellow fever at
the Soldiers Home at Hampton Rhoads,
the authorities believe they will pre-
vent it's spreading. The fact that the
Home can be entirely shut off from
communication with outsiders, makes
the task less difficult than usual.
An old tramp soldier, who was just
from Cuba, and who strayed into the
Home on a visit, is believed to have
brought the disease there, as he was
sick before he left.

THE Yaqui Indians, in Mexico, are
giving Mexicans and Americans trou-
BILE along the Rio Grande. They are
fighters, but the Mexicans say they
have troops enough at hand to suppress
the outbreak. The trouble was caused
by the Mexican government breaking
faith with the Indians, and allowing
the whites to invade their reservation
in search of gold and silver.
