the female sex is q well-established
fact. To some extent It de-

overtaken the deficiency before the
end of the first year. In other words,

Nearly six weeks since the vol
unteers in the Philippines were
offered their discharge upon ap-
plication, but thus far not one has
been recorded and so the eager

prompted by some other motives

The democrat theory is never
correct in practice, and the disas-
trous administration of Cleveland
from 1898 to 1897 will never be
forgotten, It was then that the
Democratic party, for the first
time since the close Of the Civil
War had full control Of the gov
eminent; and everybody knows
what mess it made of the bust
ness. The United States is now
progressing most favorably and
there is no reason why We should
not still further increase our ex-

and they're getting it.-Wilming-

Reports from Manila are en-
couraging. It is in the nature Of
things impossible that Aguinaldo
can much longer hold together
the remnants of his shattered for
ces. Many of his followers have
been kept in line merely by fear,
and as his power wanes their fear
becomes less and less, while they
yearn to escape the discomforte
and dangers of his service in
creases. They cannot see why
they should throw away life itself
or all the comfort and joy of life
in hopeless struggle which ever
if successful would not make tn
Philippines free, but would onl!!
make Aguinald their leader.
