NO MORE NEGOTIATIONS

Debate and negotiation with the
F'ilipinos is closed. The Federal forces
are confronted with Anarchists, and
savages who have declared for the
determination without compassion OF
the Americans and their allies. When
men of the Anglo-Saxon race are con-
frOnted with these conditions, they
suspend differences OF opinion and
stand shoulder to shoulder They did
it at LUCKNOW and Cawnpore They
will do it in Manila. There is now no
question of rights" Savagery faces

down before it. There is no alterna-

declare for pillage and massacre, they

and good order.
Allowing the Filipinos the largest
tars and their fires" from American
domination; conceding that they have
the right to repossesS themselves OF
the lands Of their nativity;-there can
be no concession of any right to burn
and massacre.
The issue in the Philippines is at
present, not the rights of tne Ameri-
cans and Filipinos, but the issue Of
''enli ghtened" warfare, and humanity
towards the defenceless.
When the United States drove the
Spaniards out of those Islands, this
event forced obligations upon the Fed
eral government, which involved the
maintenance of order, without any re-
gard to the future political condition
of the Islands. Occupation was justi-
fed and must be maintained
president Mckinley expressed the
situation clearly in his speech at the
Boston banquet: 1T is not a good
time for the liberator to submit i'm
and government TO the liberated when
they are shooting down their rescu-
ers.''
No doubt there is now, and will be
a severe test of the patience and HUI
name feelings of our troops. Savage
warfare provokes savage reprisals.
But there will be none. The Indian
fighters, with regular troops, will de-

The Presidents policy required mill

not surprising thatst army and navy
commanders were irritated, though
they did not openly declare it at
the sight of preparations that would,
in the end, cost them the loss of lives.
But they conduct only subordinate
parts of the great movements of Am

mouths were full of teeth.

THE GROWING TREASURY.
A Triumph I'm Finnnciering to the
Credit of Republican Leg
islRtlOn. ~.

From the present indications the gov
ernments receipts will more than meet
it's expenditures in the current fiscal
year. Throughout the whole of the year
which closed last June the monthly out
90 exceeded the income, except IN
March, May and June in each of which
months there was n surplus. In the
present fiscal year there has been only
one deficit thus far, that for July; while
in August and September there was an
excess on the right side which Offset the
shortage of July, and furnished about
81 100000 in addition. The half year
which will close on December 81, it is
now safe to predict, will put good
sized balance on the credit side.
Here is n triumph in governmental
financierng for which the republican
party deserves high credit. At the out
set the Dingley law, which was passed
in 1897, did not quite meet expenditures.
The thrush Of imports in the four or five
months in which the law was pending
reduced the normal importations Of the
first seven or eight months of the oper-
alton of that act, and the pending and
the actual war with Spain also had an
adverse influence. Then, too, the gov
ernment's expenditures made sharp
and material advance even before the
war started, and, of course, even though
the Spanish end of the conflict is ever,
the level of outgo yet remains far above
the average of the years Immediately
preceding 1898. Yet the war revenue
act, supplementing the Dingley law,
are now providing sufficient fund TO
meet all the outlay Of the government.
Unless there shall be lavish appropria-
tions for other than Immediately urgent
purposes n good surplus is reasonably
certain in the fiscal year which closes
next June. while the chances, of course,
are that the balance sheet will be even
more favorable in the next IL months,
| unless some of the taxes are dropped in
! the interval, which is not likely. The
great improvement which has taken
place in the governments finances as o
result of republican legislation will un-
doubtedly make tens of thousands of
votes for the party in the election Of
1o00.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE OIL SMELLER.
a User OF the. OWNING Rod Who
Does Business In West
Virginia.

England is not alone in possession of
divining-rod men, for the United States
have their quota. The writer has met
two, ana one only last week. This di-
vincr possessed the power of locating
oil, and as oil is found at depth of
from 500 to 2.5CO feet, our American
divinertowers head and shoulders above
the Britisher. 1t may be of some inter-
est to state my experience with the
oil and gas divner last week, who is
known in the oil country as an oil
smcller
Several gentlemen, producers of oil in
the state of West Virginia, and myself
had heard of the powers of this man,
and having under lease a farm of several
hundred acres, it was suggested that
the oil smeller be summoned to give n
demonstration of his magic, and tell us
where the oil was on the farm An
appointment was made. The oil smell
cr was sent day ahead in order to
make his explorations alone. We met
him the following morning, and start
ed out under his guidance to walk over
the farm and see the spots where, il
wells were drilled, we would positively
get oil. We followed him few hun
drcd yards, when he pulled out Of his
back pocket his divining rod, the same
one which he always uses. 1t was en-
veloped in n white bag, at least once
white The rod was really too thin,
flexible sticks of wood, each about 80
inches long, and as thick as lead pen
oil Those rods intn n
cube of wood, two inches wide by three
inches broad by one inch thick, and
when carrying the rod the diyiner would
hold one of the sticks in each hand at
the extreme end and whenever spot
was found where there was oil. the rod
would bend downward with the cube
pointing toward the ground. The oil
smeller in our tramp over the hills
would say: Here is rich spot; here
you will find oil in great quantities"
Another place he would say was barren
of oil, and at another place small well
would be found. lie also could locate
gas, but for this he used piece of or
binary insulated copper wire. lie like
wise told us the depth at which we could
find oil, whether at 500, 700 or 1000
feet
l asked the smeller to let me use the
rod, but was informed that il would be
Intellectual in my hands, as | did not
possess the gifted power. lie told me
that he intended to have the rod pat
ented, but, alas what was the use, as
even his own sons could not use it, he
being the sole one of the family with
the power. After spending several
hours with the man, we asked him to
show us the best spot on the farm,
which he pointed out to us. We made
what is called location, and have de-
cided to drill u well on this spot. AS soon
as the well is completed il may be of
interest to your readers to know what
was found, and ! shall be most happy
| TO inform them. You ask me whether

Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as a kind OF insult to be asked
if they have weak lungs. All seem to
have solid faith in the soundness OF
their own breathing machine. In cases
of trouble they will admit there IS a
heavy cold "a touch OF bronchitis,
or even "a spell of asthma but as TO
weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive. who scarce
" speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush of doom, will assure you
with giistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles OF those near and dear
to us. 1t is also a sad thought that we
may hug delusion as to our own health
that we only get rid of when lite itself
must pay the forfeit.
Nobody can afford to think lightly
of lung troubles. Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them, or .let them wear out, or get
better in the SPRING or any other tom
foolery that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward. Weak lungs don't grow strong
by themselves-you must heal them
and strengthen them. and rid them OF
the very earliest germs OF disease, or
you are simply committing form OF
suicide. Either you must cure your
