Give the Credit Eue.

From st. Louis Globe Democrat.
An enthusiastic welcome has greeted the
Pennsylvania regiment, just returned from
the Philippines as it paraded through the
streets of San Francisco.
1.-The Pennsylvanians are sturdy look
ing lot" says dispatch and "their spick
and span appearance commanded great at
tention." Three volunteer regiments from
Manila have reached San Francisco to be
mustered out. The Oregon regiment
brought back over 1000 men. The Nebras-
kans report total loss of sixty-two men.
The Pennsylvanians lost an aggregate of
only twenty-f0ur men. Here are three regi-
ments which after years service, largely
on the firing line In Luzon and in the
trenches, return to their homes with COM
bined mortality of less than 1870. All saw
more or less hard fighting and marching.
1t was the Pennsylyanians who stood the
brunt of Spanish night sortie during a
storm. The Nebraskans and Oregonans
where in the thick of the engagements
reaching from Manila to Malolos and San
Fernando, and passed through several ugly
ambuscades. But they are back home
looking well and with ranks but little re.
duced when comparison is made with for
mer wars.
In the face of figures so significant II is
useless to say that these regiments have
not been inteligently handled and we'll
cared for. They are healthy, make fine
appearance Oh parade and their mortality
list is small, They have worked steadily,
fought bravely and seen some hardsbips,
but all this is in the line of soldiers duty.
Those who do not count upon such an ex.
perience should not enter the service.
Many regiment in the civil war returned
with less than 200 men. These regiments
are not in the shape that bespeaks an in
competent General.

The West Wants Him.

The west wants Mckinley. That is the
report which comes from the Pacific slope.
The whole west is booming. People are
able to sell their produce at good prices and
get the money, and everybody is earning a
good living. Organism and free silver are
dead out there now. Nobody out there
wants either, for Bryan told the farmers
that If Mckinley was elected the price of
products would go down, while their Oblga-
tions would increase under the gold stand
ard, but the opposite happened. The most
ardent Bryanites then are most ardent
Mckinley men now, and are calling for
his reconciliation. Perhaps this is the rea-
so2 why Bryan is going to the Pacific again
to tell the people how badly of they are.

ONE OF THE BEST.
Senator Mcmillan so Considered by Gen
eral Spauldipg.

The st. Johns News last week contained
an extended interview with Gen. o. L.
Spauldiug assistant secretary of the treas
ury, published under the heading above.
We give that part relating to the senatorial
question:
"What do you think of General Ager's
candidacy" asked The News.
The General was guarded in his reply
and evidently did not care to discuss the
matter as he avoided the query by saying
that he koew nothing about it. ''Of course
it raised quite talk In Washi ngton at the
time his alliance with GOV. Pingree was
first announced" said the General, "but it
has all quieted down and we hear nothing
more about it." Later In the conversation
when reference was made to Senator Nc
MILAN, General Spauldipg said:
Regarding Senator Mcmillan, / want
to say that consider him one of the strong
est men in the United States senate. You
know he does not follow the band wagon
method. He is quiet and is seldom heard
OH the floor Of the senate and never plays to
the grand stand, but be is an earnest
worker, even though he does not perform
his services for the public by making big
noise. He Is sincere, conscientious public
servant and does tremendous amount of
hard work."
The News suggested that 1t was fortunate
for Michigan to be represented by man of
this character, and the General replied by
adding:
''It certainly is. and he does great deal
about which little is ever said. Yes, SIR"
continued the General. "Senator Mcmillan
is one of the three or four leading men in
the United States Senate. He is chairman
of the District of Columbia committee, and
as such his duties are very arduous. This
committee is practically a common council
Tor Washington city, and In connection with
the street railway and other city matters,
the senator has demonstrated his excellent
business judgment and shrewd foresight.
His knowledge and thorough familiarity
with commercial usage make his opinions
valuable, and they are much sought after.
He possesses the faculty of turning off
great deal OF laborious work, and has made
one of our very best senator's"

liant national diadem. believe in Mchi-
gan and her people, and if l should be
elected to this high Office l would endeavor
to give the people good, honest govern
ment and strive in every lawful way to
promote the general welfare.
HIS IDEAS ON TAXATION
lever since entering public life l have
felt that every department of our govern
ment, municipal, county. state and nation
al, was administered at great cost, and that
it would be far better for all classes, If the
simplicity of the fathers could be restored.
Taxation should be made as light as is con-
sistent with the proper administration Of
public affairs, and the hard earned dollars
of the people should not be treated as the
spoils of whatever party may be temporari-
ly In power. The fact that taxes have in
creased million dollars for the current
year, and another million for the coming
year will be more forcibly impressed upon
the people when they come to pay their taxes
this fall, and the necessity for economy will
be so driven home as to make its dismissal
from the mind of the voter impossible.
"While IL is no more than right that all
property should be taxed equally, the doc.
torine of the famous French economist,
NJ. Say, that the best system of taxation is
that which is least in amount is apparent
to all. These are my ideas as they relate
to taxation, and they are by no means new
or improvised for the occasion. My record
in congress will show that labored unceas-
ingly during the eight years spent in
Washington to tighten the burden of the
people. You will recall that when l first
entered congress introduced bill to re-
move the duty on sugar, and II required
four years OF hard work to accomplish the
task, but while 1t was removed 1t saved the
people of the United States S142,00 900,
and the government ran just as we'll with
out the income derived from 1t. Every
student of American history is aware OF the
fact that the expense of running the repub.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1899-08-25
is AGAINST TRUSTS.

'In going about the state l find that
there is much feeling over the growth of
trusts have felt that those trusts which
are organized to r Use the price of necessi-
ties and fatten upon the people are a men,
ace to national welfare and prosperity, and
upon the floor of congress l denounced the
then existing trusts, as organized conspira-
cies against the rights of all citizens. 1t
seems to me that congress and the legis-
atures of as states should be able to pro.
tect the rights of the people in this regard.
1t is my belief that under present condi-
tons the states should solve these problems
locally, and stand squarely upon a plat
form denouncing any combination which
has for its end the enrichment of few to
the detriment of the many.
"In conclusion, let me add that l am
much gratied with the generous interest
which republicans generally evince in my
candidacy, and II they entrust me with Their
liberties as their chief executive, shall use
every means at my. disposal to discharge
my duties faithfully"

to vote in congress today on the question OF
annexation of the Philippine islands he
