Important Decision.

important DECISION.
In the circuit of Berkeley county
last week Judge f. Boyd Faulkner
handed down a decision in the case of
the Berkeley and Hampshire Turnpike
Co. against Raney and others, of in
terest to the people Of the State. In
1897 the Legislature passed an act re-
quiring turnpikes and toll roads to be
built and made according to certain
specifications as to width, bridges,
drainage and culverts, such as most
roads do not conform to, and provided
that no toll shall be collected unless
they do. 1t was claimed in this suit
that the plaintiffs road did not meas
ure up to the requirements Of the act
and was not entitled to collect toll.
The Judge held that private indlvld-
uals using the road had no right to
refuse to pay toll and defend because
Of defects in the road but that not
withstanding the act Of 1897, a suit
on behalf of the public in the name Of
the State to revoke its franchise was
the only way in which the failure to
keep the road in condition could be
taken advantage Of; and that, until
such judicial determination was had,
private individuals could not require
the turnpike company to litigate the
question with them.

A precious one from us has gone,

The soul is safe in heaven.

No REST FOR THE F|LIP|NOS.
American Jurisdiction to Be Ex-
tended Over the Whole Group.
THERE is TO BE NO ANARCHY.

WASHINGTON, Feb lS.-The admin
istration has determined to extend
rapidly the jurisdiction of the United
States over the whole of the Philip
pine group. 1t is acting on the theory
that delay in this case is dangerous
and that anarchy and general
paralysis of such interests as the ISL
ands support will be brought about
through failure promptly to replace
the Spanish sovereignty over the
islands by that of the United States.
This decision involves the necessity
of a naval campaign, and this will be
instituted as soon as Admiral Dewey
receives the reinforcements in the
shape of gunboats now upon the way
to Manila.
The naval vessels probably will be
accompanied by some troop transports
and the soldiers will be landed where
necessary to hoist the United States
flag and take possession formally of
the ports. 1t is understood that there
will be no attempt made at this time
to displace any of the existing munich
pal governments except where they
prove refractory and offer resistance.
In fact, policy of Cancellation will be
followed at all points in the treatment
Of the natives.

PHILIPPINES WILL Be HELD.
They Will Not Not Be Given Up
Until Congress So Directs.
M'KlNLEY MAKES A SPEECH.

Boston, Feb. 1s.-At the Home Mar
ket club banquet President Mckinley
spoke in part as follows;
1.-THE future of the Philippine
islands is now in the hands of the
American people. Until the treaty
was ratified or rejected the executive
department of this government could
only preserve the peace and protect
life and property. l know no one at
this hour who is wise enough or suf-
ficiently informed to determine what
form of government will best subserve
their interests and our interests and
their and our we'll being. The whole
subject is now with Congress, and
Congress is the voice, the conscience
and the Judgment of the American
people. Upon their judgment and con-
science can we not rely? / believe in
them l trust them. 1 know of no
better OF safer human tribunal than
the people.
"Until Congress shall direct other
wise, it will be the duty of the exec
utive to possess and hold the Philip
pines, giving the people thereof peace
and bene6cent government, affording
them every opportunity to prosecute
their lawful pursuits, encouraging
them in thrift and industry, making
them feel and know we are their
friends, not their enemies; that their
good is our aim; that their welfare is
our welfare, but that neither their
aspirations nor ours can be realized
until our authority is acknowledged
and unquestioned.
mo imperial designs Turk in the
American mind. They are alien to
American sentiment, thought and pur-
pose. Our priceless principles under
go no change under a tropical sun.
They go with the fiat:
Why read We not the changeless truth,
The free can conquer but to save,
eff we can benefit these remote peo-
pies, who will object? If in the years
Of the future they are established in
government under law and liberty,
who will regret our perils and sac
rifices; who will not rejoice in our
heroism and humanity? Always per-
lis and always after them safety; al
ways darkness and clouds, but always
shining through them the light and
the sunshine; always cost and sacri-
fee, but always after them the frui-
tion of liberty, education and civiliza-

KNOCKED OUT S2O,OOO,OOO.
Tho House Refuses to Pass the Indem-
nifty Item for the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Two very
sensational and unexpected things
happened in the House during the con-
sideration of the sundry civil bill.
The paragraph carrying the appropri-
alton of $4,000, 900 for payment to
Spain under the terms of the peace
treaty was stricken out upon point
of order made by Mr.. Wheeler, Ken
lucky Democrat, who declared that
he opposed the appropriation on
principle and would resort to any
technicality to defeat it. The point
of order was debated for hours,
its determination hinging upon the
question of whether the ratification of
the treaty by the Senate and it's sign
ing by the President vitalized it with
out the action of the Spanish cortes.
Warrant of law was necessary to make
the appropriation in order. Mr.. Hop
lsins, Republican, of Illinois, who was
in the chair, sustained the point of
order against it, and upon appeal his
decision was sustained -14S to Sc.

WICHITA, Kan, Feb. 1s.-A dastardly
act of vandalism was discovered at the
Emporia Avenue Baptist church last
evening by the pastor. Upon opening
for services it was found that the
church furniture and instruments had
been frightfully mutilated by an AK in
the hands of some unknown persons.
The reeds and keys of the fine organ
were chopped and torn out of place.
The beautiful center chandelier was
shattered to pieces and the works and
dial torn out of the large handsome
clock, besides the complete demolish-
ment of the electric motor.
Further investigation showed that
the seats and carpets had been hacked
and cut to pieces and, not satisfied
with their dastardly work, the van
dals entered the Baptistry and turned
on the water, flooding the entire base
ment, and then to complete their work
burned every book in the extensive
library, leaving the church interior a
total wreck. No cause can be given
for the dastardy act.
