The west is beginning to wake up to
the evils of populism. The regions
where the party has lost strength have
been marked by great increase in rail-
road construction in the past twelve
months. On the other hand, not a sin

Kansas. and only six-tenths of mile
in Nebraska. Nothing builds up a
country like railroads, and nothing
prevents the extension of railroads like
populism and kindred agrarian falla-
cies.

the tidings of .Aguinaldo's proceedings
were received with public demonstra-
tions of mild sort.
All is not plain sailing for the insur-
gents, as it is; said the rival authorities
at Cebu are fighting.
The trouble has not yet reached an
acute state, but the safety of the town
and surrounding country is in danger.
The northern provinces have recently
given indications that they are not in
accord with Aguinaldo, and should his
proclamation lead to hostilities with the
Americans, he may have revolution as
well as war of conquest on his hands.
Another serious feature, according to
dispatches, is that the interior of Luzon
is in ferment Native officers have
been murdered and no effort made to
punish the criminals.

Involving Right to Tax Unpat-

Companies.
Decision Upholds the Action OF
Montana Authorities in the
Matter.
Carver Heirs Said to Have Dis
covered the Deed They Have
Long Sought.

WASHINGTON, JAM 24.-In the United
States supreme court, Justice McKenna
handed down an opinion in the case of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
versus the treasurer of jefferson county,
Mon The case involves the right of
the state authorities to tax railroad
lands within the Northern Pacific grant
which are unpatented, because their
character with reference to minerals
has not been determined The railroad
company contended that such right had
not existed, but the decision of the cir
cult court was against the company and
the supreme court upheld this opinion.
Justices Brewer, Shiras, White and
Peckham dissented.
