"'The soil of the Hawaiian Islands is

Growth of tho War Debt.

For the last third of century the
people of the United States have been
paying off the great war debt created in
the early sixties-they have paid fab
ulous sums, more than five times the
amount of the original debt, but they
are not done yet. Even now after pay
ing almost countless thousands of dol
lars it yet requires more OF the products
OF labor to pay the remaining part of
the debt than it would to have paid it
all, at the time it was contracted-and
all this robbery has been brought about
by special and purchased legislation,
purchased or inspired by the invisible
empire OF finance-the destroyers of
freedom in all countries in the world.

FREELAND, Pa, DECEMBER II, ls9'


From the New York World.
On Sunday the World catalogued 349
pardons granted to criminals and l2g
combinations of sentence by Mr.. Nc
Kinley during the two years and five
months of his administration,
The list does not conclude the case of
Commissionary General Eagan, who,
after fair trial by court martial, was
sentenced to graceful dismissal from
the army, and whose sentence the presi-
dent changed into the reward of six
years furlough upon full pay.
But it does include the pardon of six
teen bank wreckers and a communication
of sentence in the cases of eight other
men who as bank officers betrayed their
trusts.
1t includes pardon in the cases of six
ty-one and the communication of twenty
nine sentences imposed upon postmas-
ters for embezzlement and kindred
crimes.
1t includes the pardon of thirty-three
counterfeiters and the tightening of
sentences upon fourteen others.
Without going further into the cata-
logue it is fair to ask why the president
has come to the rescue of these infamous
scoundrels by the use of his pardoning
power. Why has he granted respite to
bank wreckers and the betrayers Of
trusts, thus concerning other bank Off
GERS to like offense? Why has he i'm
paired the integrity of the postal service
by pardoning embezzling postmasters for
crimes that are objectionable? What
possible claim to clemency can any
counterfeiter have?
The pardoning power is conferred
upon the executive for one purpose, and
one only. 1t is not intended for the re-
lief of criminals, with or without a
pull" 1t is intended, as proceedings
in equity are, to correct mistakes and
cure injustices of the law. 1t was never
meant in any constitution that the ex-
ecutive should pardon criminals. 1t
was meant only that as a last resort his
power OF pardon should rescue men un-
justly convicted of crime.
In this view of the law and the facts,
President McKinley's wholesale Jail de-
livery is gross abuse of the pardoning
power.

Premature Congratulations.
IN the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The sudden appearance at Vigan of
an insurgent. force as though it had
risen from the vastly deep and the des-
perate night attack made on our weak
and footsore garrison in a town and re-
gion supposed to be inhabited entirely
by 'amigos" suggests the uncomfortable
reflection that our recent self-congratu-
lations upon the crushing of the Filipino
insurrecton may have been premature
Four-fifths of Aguinalds's army, esti-
mated at 30, 900 armed men, remain un-
accounted for, and the "friendlies" who
have welcomed our troops in the towns
entered by them are probably insurgents
in disguise, ready to dig up their rifles
and take the field again as soon as our
garrisons shall have moved on.
There is nothing improbable in the
report that Aguinaldo has made his
escape to Cavite province to resume his
insurrectionary career in the place
where it began year and half ago.
Doubtless we shall have to hold every
city and hamlet in Luzon in q grip OF
steel before we can claim that the in
surrection has been quelled.

THE FILIPlNO'S BOLO.
A Terrible Weapon When Used in q
Hand-to-Hand Conflict.

Hand-to-Hand Conflict.
A letter from Lieutenant William NJ.
Copp, of the Sixth Artillery, who was
on the gunboat Napidan in Laguna de
Bay gives the following interesting
information concerning one phase Of
the fighting with the Filipinos:
AN odd trait in the character Of the
natives is that they never leave one Of
their dead if they can possibly get him
away. They leave more now than they
used to, for this reason: Formerly they
had ut least five men for every gun,
and about all these uien were good for
was to carry away the wounded and
dead, although they were armed with
bolos. These weapons We're very effec-
tive against the Spaniards, as the bolo
men apparently cared nothing for their
own lives, and the Spaniards had not
the courage to stand when they
charged, so, of course, they were cut to
pieces the bolo being without doubt
one of the most terrible weapons at
close quarters in the world 1t Is very
sharp and so heavy that it will smash
any sword in pieces that | have seen.
They use them in the right hand and
long, heavy dagger in the left /
mad one of the many amigos who could
handle the bolo go through the motions
for me. and it was truly wonderful
The rapidity of his moves were such
that the eye could hardly follow them,
and all the time he kept constant
guard. The bolo is to cut, no point;
the dagger is used to stab, no edge
When the bolo men tried the same tac-
tics OH our men that they were accus-
toned to employ so successfully against
the Spaniards they were killed in large
numbers, as our men did not run, but
simply shot them. Now so many of
these men have been killed, there are
fewer of them to gun, and they are
not able to get the dead away quite as
well as formerly.
III your servant goes away for a day
or two, you can be certain he is with
the insurgents and in some fight. 1t
is too common to excite comment here
when an officers servant, who has
been absent several days, is found in
the insurgents uniform killed or is
brought into our hospital for treat
ment."

The more the people hear and see OF
Hon William ]. Bryan the more they
find in him to admire He is honest,
frank, courageous and able. He never
hedges, lodges nor equivocates. He
has decided opinions and can express
them as forcibly and eloquently as any
man on earth. During the ~ days pre-
ceding the late election Mr. Bryan trav-
eled 3 $500 miles and made so addresses.
His speeches were not mere platitudes
about the starry old flag or the tran
scendent glory Of this great republic -
the high destiny of the nation under
God and Mckinley. His addresses al
ways contain something sensible and
worthy of thoughtful consideration.
Mr.. Bryan is marvel of physical en-
durance and has an exceedingly wide
and accurate knowledge of public af-
fairs. The editorials of goldbug
papers in attempting to belittle him
and his cause are written by men who
are so far his interiors in every good
sense that they are not worthy to be
mentioned in comparison. Most of his
detractors are men who have no con-
victions on any subject that they hold
sacred, but who write what their en-
ployers dictate, for a fixed price Cour-
age and ability cannot be hooted down
by the jibes of aristocrats, and Will
lam Jennings Bryan will live to tri-
umph over those who meet his logic
with ridicule and his arguments with
sneers. RI st,A,.... ...-3s 81

ty. Though it has been considered a
safe Republican county the Democratic

The bulk of Cuba'S agricultural exist
pnce depends on the cultivation of
sugar cane. With raw sugar selling
for only 2la cents a pound on the sea
coast in Cuba. there are few capitalists
who will lend money to owners of Gu
ban sugar estates. The interruption in
the sugar industry caused by the war
gave the manufacturers of beet sugar
such an advantage ana such hold on
the markets of the world that the
grower of sugar cane finds himself
crowded pretty close to the wall.
In illustrating this point Mr.. Howard
said: Let us assume that the produc-
tiOn of Cuban sugar is now one-fifth of
what it was before the war If Cuban
sugar with only one-fifth of the nor
NAL production offered for sale. is only
21s cents pound, delivered on the sea
coast, what is likely to be the price of
sugar when the production is restored
to its normal bulk? The capitalist
who has money to Invest. hesitates
right there. 1t is not that the capital.
list fears another revolution would de.
stroy his investment, for that contin
