statement Of these two we'll informe ed

satellites claim that there would

problem if the insurgents had not
been encouraged by the position Of
the anti imperialists in this country.
That is absurd The fears of
Agulnaldo and his followers would

Abbeville Meridional: Quite a

Gently member from Utah. While
we do not desire to be understood
as condoning the offence, a due re-
o. r6 for the truth rononalS
that there are other polygamists in
Congress than Roberts, and more
polygamy, polyandry, pornocracy
and moral depravity to the square
inch in Washington City, than in
Salt Lake City. Let no guilty man
throw rocks at Mr.. Roberts.
Bossier Banner: The operations
of the trusts are becoming more and
more gross and offensive. Most of
them have the support of the prott e
tive tariff. If the Democratic party
shall have sense enough to make its
fight against the trusts and against
the protective tariff scheme that is
the citadel of the trusts it may win
the next presidential election. The
list of protected trusts, their vast
combinations and capltalizations,
now forming, when pub ished, as
they will be in the campaign of
1900, will amaze and astound the
people.

Oid Age and Office.

1t is a singular circumstance that
the number OF deaths among the coun-
try's Vice Presidents has largely ex-
ceeded that among its Presidents.
While four men holding the higher
Office died during their term, the deaths
in two.of these instances-Lincoln and
Garfield-were caused by violence.
Six men holding the second office.
however, died during their term, and
all of them by natural causes. More
oyer. the Presidents. on the average.
have been, when taking Office, more
advanced in years than the Vice
Presidents.
Two facts may be suggested by this
record. The duties of the presidency
are not quite sowearing on the incumb-
ent as has commonly been supposed.
The life of the holder of the vice pres
idency may not be altogether so easy
as is popularity imagined. One of
the Presidents. Harrison, who died Il
HAUL al utttlil. was W : Cll VI at
the time of his inauguration, and the
other, Taylor, was 66 when he entered
office. However, some of the Vice
Presidents who died in office We're
older than these two Presidents At
death George Clinton;s age was 13
and Elbridge Gerry's 20. while Viii
liam II. King was Ga. Henry Wilson
63, and Thomas \. Hendricks 66.
Hobart was much younger than any
of the other Vice Presidents who died
in Office, being only 10.
1t is a fact, however. that the duties
of the presidency, Notwithstanding
| the popular assumption that they are
peculiarly injurious to health, have
! 1ot been found to be very destructive.
Washington was eight years at the
head Of the army during ehe revolu-
! tion, and previously saw hard service
during the French and Indian war.

| in the presidency, yet he lived to be

An Awful Fight.

The following story of an unusual
fight is taken from the Vest Plains
Gazette:
Yesterday evening 1T Bakersfield
there was duel. with knives as weap-
ons, unhampered by any of the rules or
restrictions which usually surround
such affairs of honor. As Il result,
W. u. Sharpe, the pOstma ster. is near
unto deaths door. and Luke Seels.
his adversary. is ca rrying wounds
viii ch are painful but not fatal. Fam
lily affairs appear to be the cause of
the trouble. III feeling has existed
for Il short time between the two men.
Yesterday in the Office the quarrel was
renewed and Il challenge to fight it ont
with knives was offered and accepted.
The principals repaired to the cellar
and went to work without interference.
When exhaustion and loss Of blood
had compelled the parties to cease
th-sir struggle. sharpe was found
wounded in many places. One kidney
was cut and the abdomen was catered.
In fact he was cut all over the body.
Seels was wounded. but in no instance
so seriously. Sharpe was attended
by physician who did not expect him
to live Nntll morning. Today he is
still aEve.
1t is reported that Mrs. Sharpe sat
on the steps leading TO the cellar and
witnessed this death struggle. One
can hardly believe such report anG
no rrcdence is given it.

MIR. I:U SCI ATTTE WHITE HOT Sc.
st. Louisan has an Extended Con-
ference with the President.

WASHINGTON. ID. G., Nov. 2i.-An
interview of more than ordinary sig
niicance took place at the White
House to-day. The parties to it were
the ePresidentand Mr.. Adolphus Busch,
of st. Louis. Mr.. Busch spent Sun
day in Washington, and had arranged
to leave at noon to-day for New y ork.
where he had an engagement to attend
Il dinner party this evening. The
President learned this morning from
Secretary Hitchcock that Mr.. Busch
was in the city. The secretary ex-
pressed desire to present his fellow
townsman. The President responded
with the suggestion that the call be
taken out of the ordinary reception
hours, and appointed time when he
could receive Mr.. Busch and talk with
him uninterrupted by other visitors.
Secretary Hitchcock conveyed the
Presidents wish to Mr.. Busch. who
Immediately telegraphed his friends
in New York to proceed with the
dinner, promising to join them some
time before the coffee and the cigars.
MIR. Busch accompanied the srcre-
tary TO the White House this after
noon. and was received in the library.
The President and the most prominent
American of the Southwest
entered into frank conversation
about public issues. The President
explained his views upon those sub
iects in which German are
especially interested. He invited from
Mr.. Busch Il free expression of his
views. and asked questions as to SEN
timent among the Germans. The con
versation was highly interesting. II
was characterized by perfect freedom
on both sides. Once or twice when
Mr. Busch thought he might be pro-
longing the interview beyond the
proper time, the President opened
some new feature. and chatted on as
if he enjoyed laying aside the "rli
nary routine and engaging IN the J."
terchange of opinion.
After Mr. Busch left the White
House ne was emphatic in ais expires
sion of appreciation of the reception
he had enjoyed. He was hearty in
his declaration of confidence in the
good purposes of the President. Mr..
Busch left on the limited Il; o'clock.
He expected 10 reach the dinner party

story of n Slave.

To be bound hand and footfor years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. Geo. d. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters. she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work. This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is a godsend to weak. sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaran-
