WE GLuAT Anew.

For the third time within six months
the REVIEW has been before the people
with large undertakings and all have
been successful. The contest last
September was one of the most exciting
the county has even seen, the Christ
mas edition was the finest printed in
Iowa in 1898, and our January guessing
contests closed last night in blaze of
glory. In the meantime we have been
printing the best paper III Crawford
county. The REVIEW is rejoicing, it
has the big head, it is conceited and
is stuck on itself, and it don't care who
knows it. 1t feels sorry for the poor
little chuckle-headed fellows who have
to play second fiddle and eat sour
grapes in the back yard. 1t weeps with
the small bored man who cries, slot
terry" and fraud" when he sees the
great REVIEW soaring away from him.
1t cOmmiserates the smallness Of the
intellect that will prevent It's employees
from playing in the band because the
occasion Is a REVIEW enterprise. But
above all we would like to repeat what
everyone knows, and that is that the
biggest, the best, the most enterprising,
the newsiest and tho cleanest newspaper
in this neck of the woods is the Great
and Only. the Denison REVIEW.

What We Could Do.
ESTABLISHED 1855

What We could do if our subscribers
should all pay up?
We coulu pay up all our own bills
aud have The sweet conscienceuess that
We owed no man a cent.
We could make many needed inn
proytments Ill your paper.
We could get new press, aid new
type, use better paper and lux, employ
m~re people to set more type TO get out
a better paper. TO better The COM
munlty.
We could look forward to the cheer
ing prospect OF a new suit of clothes III
the spring.
There are some of our readers who
would not know a subscription receipt
from d wash boiler and from whom our
Only hope OF getting our dues seems to
be TO tile claim against their estate ii
they have any, after they have gone to
join the other dead beats in that realm
where the thermometer never gels
down to s'summer heat" These are
the same fellows who when they get
into trouble come around and asks The
editor not to mention it because they
are "old readers" They are the same
fellows who send their money to Chi
cago to buy poor groceries for the price
of good groceries in Denison. They
are the same fellows who do not pay
the doctor, nor the grocer or the butch
er, they ars the same people who make
every merchant feel poor after years
hard work, they are the same fellows
who prevent improvements in every
line of business on account of the
money that is tied up in their bills
Some of them wear better clothes than
honest citizens can afford. They all
could run a newspaper or any Other
business better than the owner, they
are posted on the finance of the nation
some for free silver and some for a gold
standard, but we cannot see that il
makes one earthly bit of difference tt
them as they seem t. have no use fol
money of any kind.
Such people are public nuisances anG
as such ought to be abated. The RE
VIEW has many readers who for var
lous reasons have been unable to pay
as promptly as they themselves woulo
wish. But they are honest and indus
trious and we know they will settle az
soon as possible. q These are not the
ones we are addressing ourselves to
but we fear that they are the only ones
who will take the lesson to heart tol
the professional deadbeat is so copper
lined and case hardened that he wOulC
not respond to Gabriel's trumpet if ht
thought there was cent to pay.

LODGE ON EXPANSION.
What the Senator from SIassaceusetts Has
to Say on the Subject.
Continued from Page Two. )


The President can not be sent back
across the Atlantic in the person of his
commissioners, hat in hand, to say to
Spain with bated breath, II am here in
obediance to the mandate of minority
of one-third of the Senate to tell you
that we have been too victorious. and
that you have yielded us too much. and
that l am very sorry that l took the
Philippines from you" do not think
that any American President would do
that, or that any American would wish
him to. Still less do think that any
American would withdraw General
Otis and his soldiers and recall Admiral
Dewey from the scene of his great vic
tory, leaving it to be said of us that we
had deserted our post without an effort
to repair the ruin we have made or to
save the people we have freed with
One more task declined, one more footpath un-
trod.
One more DEVILS triumph and sorrow for angels,
One wrong more to man, one more insult to

Therefore, Mr.. President, by reject
ing the treaty we renew the state of
war. The protocol is but the agreement
of, the Commander in Chief. When the
treaty fails, it could be torn in pieces;
but whether it is thrown aside or not.
still we are in state of war, and the
subjects of Spain, among whom are
numbered today the Filipinos. would
be the public enemies OF the United
States by all the laws of nations.
There, then, would be the President,
with the country at war with Spain,
armed with the war power, which he
can use unchecked as the Commander
in Chief ofthe Army and Navy. The
treaty commits the disposition Of the
Philippine Islands to Congress and to
the ways and practices of peace. Its
rejection leaves it in the sole power of

"ReAsoNABLg RIGID ECONOMY
Taxpayer Gives His Opinion of the Super
visors' Economy.

EDITOR REvIEW:-As liam reader
of your valuable paper the thought
struck me that should say few
words Though your paper if you would
permit me. | am taxpayer and l
want to say a few words i'll commenda-
ton of our honorable Board of Super
visOrS.
| see in the report of their delibera-
tions that they have started in for econ
omy. Now [ think this is just the
thing. First. L see they have com
meEced with assessors l think asses
sors get entirely too much money for
the labor performed. [ see about
twenty four days is the average time
limit for township assessors to do their
work in. That will make saving of
about $40 per township. Nobody thinks
OF getting a man for assessor who has
any business of his own, for his time is
worth more than So per day. but of
course there are plenty of men who
are glad for such hand OUT as that.
don't suppose there is one assessor
out of the twenty township assessors
who can do the work in the limited
time, but they might call their wages
ST 50 per day and that would give them
more days to do the work in. l think
there could be plenty of men gotten fol
even less wages, and it would be such a
saving OF money. AS for ability aud
ljudpment could not vouch. An asses
sor very seldom has to make more than
three trips to assess a man, and if ht
does have to do little extra work he
Can work some at night and not have
to put in so many DAYS. L think just
the right place to commence is on the
So men, and if there is a little extra
committee work for our worthy super
visors, or if they want to raise some
county or officers salary a hundred o.

the money from other places to do il
with. | think every assessor in the
county ought to Re grateful to oul
supervisors for the liberal allowance O.

can recommend to the people Of

way, without fear or favor. In
these days Of political jobbery a
man Of that kind is hard to find
and Denver is fortunate in her
selection. All good citizens
should rally TO his support and
elect him by an overwhelming
majority.

Our Population in 1900

II the United States retains the
Philippine islands as colony the
combined population of the United
States and her colonies, based on
figures now obtainsble, will reach
81, $685. 729. Probably when the
next census of the United States is
taken in 1900 the combined popu-
lation may exceed 10000, 900.
This is greater population than
any other nation, except China,
the British empire and the Russian
empire. Before the annexation Of
Hawaii the area in square miles of
the United States was 3,602, 900.
Taken with the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Hawaii it will be 3, 727,-
453 square miles, the fourth
largest in the world. While there
is no relative change in position as
to size and numbers since annexa-
ton began, it IL interesting TO
know that we are or will be much
greater.

all right, the supreme court was to
follow it with a judicial decision sup
porting Goddard's views. Unfortu-
nately for the promoters of this scheme
Goddard ''opinion" has been met
with storm of ridicule and indigna-
tion, both from the ley Il profession
and the laity, that has caused them to
sop and think what an outraged pub
lie is likely to do to them in case they
persist in carrying out their bastard
ly plans to override the executive de-
partment of government with the Judi
cial.
They are now trying to find way
to back out gracefully and let Go.-
dard down without too rude a shock.
This attempt to set aside the cOnstitu-
ii on of the state at the OrCer of the
corporations is interesting as showing
how far the leaders of the republican
party can be forced to go by their
masters. The corporations are now try
ing to cover the retreat of their tools
by giving it out that theywar the ex-
ira session to stand as they are in bet
ter shape under the new laws than un-
der the old. The absLrdity of this
proposition is clearly shown by tho
tremendous efforts made by the rail
road. telegraph a..d Insurance com
panies to defeat these new laws when
they were pending before the legisla-
ture. 1t is pretty smoothe scheme
on the part of these fellows to prove
that they like their medicine. They go
on the theory that if they can make US
believe they are pleased with matters
as they stand, we will at once take
their satisfaction away by making new
laws and in the shake-up they might
be benefited.
