War of Conquest?

Following are extracts from a let
ter of Harry Donovan, dated April
26th, to A. A. McRae OF Hutchinson:
my arm Is just about we'll now and
I'm spending few days here at Gen'l
Mac Arthur's city headquarters before
l return to the field. So far as kno "
now the usefulness OF the injured mem
ber will be in no wise impaired.
The end is not in sight. We hav Q
good generals and brave, well drilled
and we'll seasoned troops but our dark
skinned enemies are the most elusive
mortals Oh earth and 1t seems }inpos.
sible to get them cornered where We can
deliver crushing blow. We 60 after
them time and time again and drive
them cut Of some of the best constructed
treuches that soldiers ever charged, but
the main body always manages to es
cape. They certainly are desperate,
savage fighters. and while they can t
stand the impetuous, irresistible charges
OF the volunteers or the machine-like ad-
vances OF the regulars, they send many
OF our boys to early graves and keep
their main body out OF our clutches.
| hope am entirely mistaken bue am
OF the opinion that the fighting viii,
continue for months to come.
They have realized from the very out
set that their struggle is hopeless, but
they say they are fighting for their lib .
erty and they intend to make des-
perate resistance. In converse tion with
Filipinos even last November I wa, to Id
that if the U. S. decided to retain the
group the natives would die fighting
even though they knew their ultimate
defeat was inevitable.
1t seems like dire calamity to spill so
much blood in an apparently unworthy
cause. for while it may be war OF
emancipation in the end. and may
bring the blessings of freedom and the
light OF higher civilization to the people
OF the Philippines. that end is so far
away that it ia hard to sea it through
the msts of the present trouble which
looks. on it's face, like war OF con-
quest.
There ia not a more optimistic solder
in the whole army than I, but W hen you
see dead and dying comrades, althou oh
you fully realize that this Is war;, and
war always means death to some, you
can't help but question thu grounds of
the sacrifice.
l am really tempted, when peace is
established, to remain and try to make
my fortune. As to the people, their
worst fault is their propensity for fight
inS and that, at least, shows that they
have bl:k1)le.'

receive half the am cunt paid for street
labor, is an absurdity too manifest to
aeed argument. Ii there had been q
general reduction made IN city salaries,
sparing no one, and proportlonate to
the duties aud character of the services
required, it might be said that the
clerk ought to stand a reduction as
we'll as Others affected, but when it is
seen that it is only proposed to reduce
salaries of the clerk and police, and ad-
mittedly for motives having nothing to
do with economy, then the sincerity Of
such legislation may we'll be Questioned
The wages ol street laborers have been
raised from $3.50 to $1.65 per day,
yet it is proposed to largely reduce the
clerks salary, and give him much
less than 81 day. At the same time
the salary OF tho attorney, whose pres
ence is only required at sessions OF the
council, is left at $500 per year, the
same as before. and all other salaries-
excepting police-are left unchanged or
increased.
The people OF this city have not
asked for this legislation. They believe
that the laborer ia worthy Of his hire,
that if salaries are to be cut, the re-
ductiou ahould be general, and not par
| ticular; that faithful service sn ould not
be rewarded with less remuneration. ~

GOV. SHAW WINS In IOWA.
His Re-eieetion a. Chief Executive Assured

Des Moines. Iowa. Nov. Leslie NJ.
Shaw Is reelected governor OF Iowa by
plurality Of at least 5000 Chairman
Weaver, OF the Republican committee,
claims 6el9. Chairman Huffman. Of the
Democratic committee. comedies 4099.
Enthusiastic managers claims 65o09.
Shaw himself claims eO,e0 His plurality
two years ago was less than 3o0o0. He
runs slightly behind the ticket on account
OF local conditions, the other candidates
on the State ticket running !. 800 ahead OF
him.
Not only is the State ticket elected. but
the Republicans have elected l91 OF the
10 new members OF Tie general assembly.
which Will elect a United States Senator
10 succeed John II. Gear. Figures are
made on the returns up TO II o'clock.
These show that 81 Of the 2e0 precincts
give Shaw II SIS, and Fred f. White, his
opponent, 9,4Z1 This is a net 4.epubican
gain Of 10 per cent, which will add %, 90
10 the Shaw plurality OF two years ago.
The managers are confident Of these fig
ures, because the net gain has been con-
tinuous in every precinct. The only losses
yet reported are in the German communi-
" in Scott County.
There was a comparatively light vote as
compared with '96, but the vote com
pares favorably with that Of 1sT. with
which all comparisons have been made.
The Republicans insist that the result
Is an Endorsement Of ths national policy
in the Philippines and for sound money,
the two issues having been made pre-
dominant BY the Republicans, and the
war by the Democrats.
Chairman Weaver said at 1870 o'clock:
I'VE will have 5000 at least. and ! eI-
| pect 1890. We have made unexpected
/ gains In all sections OF the state. Shaw
| has run better with his ticket than was
anticipated We regard the result as a
| strong Endorsement Of Mckinley. We viii
| have 100 majority or joint ballot in the
! next general assembly. While the plur-
] ality last year was about G9,JJ0, the ma
/ tional issue was money exclusively, and
| most attention was paid 10 the State is
| sues. The campaign this year Was fought
/ out on the natioEal issues alone"
Chairman Huffman said: we will con-
cede Shaw's election by 5000 We have
no reasons TO offer fer the result except
| that the people were befuddled by the
| false cry Of patriotism
Gov. Shaw saidI Il judge from the fig
ures that the Republican ticket viii have
$1,000 plurality. Even 5000 would be a
magnificent victory for the party. Predic-
tiOns were made Monday that the head
Of the ticket would not get more than
2),00O so that the result Is gratifying 10
| the party which has stood loyalty with
the great national administration Of Will
lam Mckinley. Considering the light
| vote as compared with that Of 1887. a
g. 600 plurality is equal 10 $1,000 OF 5000. "
| f II. Hunter. manager Of the cam
paign Of J. II. Gear for the United States
Senate, said: 1T wouldn't surprise me If
the plurality climbed up to 5000 yet.
This is equivalent 10 many more thou

will have from 40 to l20 members of the

and estimates on his plurality were cut to
1850 With three-fifths Of the county
heard from the returns indicate 1,eo for
Mclean, but If his losses continue this
may be cut down, and it IS barely possible
that II may be wiped out, but this is hard
ly probable. This mysterious dwindling
IN the Democratic strength can be ex-
plained only by the Jones vote, which Is
now apparently cutting into the Mclean
ranks. Early returns indicated 1900 for
Jones in the county. This has crept up.
until il now indicates that he viii have
1850 votes. The increase was at the ex-
pense of Mclean. If II keeps up the Dem
ocrats may lose the county, which early in
the evening was conceded 20 them.
The fusion ticket, composed Of half
Democrats and anu-C1X Republicans, Is
running about evenly with Mclean. i
appeared early in the evening that not
single Republican was elected, but at II
O'Clock the Democratic strength had so
fallen on that the Republicans began 20
claim a possibility Of electing several Of
the county officers. The fusiOnists have
probably carried the legislature. but the
contest for county treasurer is very close,
with chances favoring John II. Gibson
(Rep) over Edward Renau Dem) and
Judge Howard Ferris for Probate Court
over Oliver =. Jones DEM. 1t will re-

50 small that the total count viii be nee
essary to decide the result. The fusion
lists have also lost heavily, and at this
hour Republicans are claiming the cleo
Jion Of part of their ticket. The remarka-
bic falling off in the Democratic vote,
which early in the evening promised to
show a plurality of 6o00, is probably due
TO unexpected gains by Jones, whose
total vote is now estimated at 13, 900 in the

is extremely gratifying TO me, as it must

the non-partisan idea is large enough to
justify the claim that the cause has won
the greatest victory ever recorded IN the

Il believe the moral force will lead the
legislature to pass the municipal code
commission bill, which provided that ev-
cry municipal officer in Ohio shall be elect
ed by the non-partisan plan, doing away
entirely with political parties in 3ll our

shaping national issues next year. There
