Manila respondent Discovers That
Their Relations Are Much Strained.


Barcelona, Jan. 28.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Diario says that he
has discovered that the relations be-
tween Maj. Gen. Otis and Rear Admiral
Dewey are most strained, owing to the
profound rivalry which exists between
the land and sea forces of the United

rs below par. The gambling hells of
Manila are taxed $1,000 each and the
police are highwaymen, who make ar
bitrary arrests and then demand from
$40 to $40 for the release of their pris-
oners." The correspondent further de-
clares that the Americans have monop-
olized all the trade and swamped the
markets with their products, rendering
European competition impossible. AS
an instance Of this, he alleges that
Californian wines are sold in Manila as
genuine Bordeaux.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The article in last fridays Gazette
urging the people Of Billings to cele-
brate the Fourth of July this year has
borne fruit. Mayor Yegen and others
have interested themselves in the mat
ter and the movement for a celebration
will probably be started this week. It
should be taken in hand at once if any
thing is to be done. Billings. if she is
going to undertake a celebration, wants
a good one. Attractions should be
offered which will draw people here
from the surrounding country, and
after they get here they should be we'll
entertained. A celebration will do
this city no good if they are not.
The time is already short to complete
arrangements for an affair of this char.
acter and if, within the next few days,
you are presented with a subscription
for a Fourth of July celebration, give
literally and encourage the movement
all you can. 1t will take work and
plenty of it, to perfect arrangements,
and if those who undertake to start the
movement are not heartily sustained,
it will fall through.
There must be hearty cooperation if
Billings is to celebrate the nation s
birthday. This city has done nothing
of the kind for so long a time that the
Fourth this year should be a memorable
occasion. Let US all take held and
make it so.

ism and rejoice that you live in the
best nation on earth and under the
greatest government ever created by
man. Push the celebration movement
along if it is once started. Everybody
must work and take an interest; il
they do. the day will be a proud one

orators and editors going about point
ing with pride to the fulfillment Of
their representations? The Dingley
law was enacted, and yet the year 1898
was the banner year in the history Of
the foreign m of the country.
For every dollars worth Of foreign
merchandise bought by the United
States, was sold ard exported two dol
lars worth of American products. And
this sort of thing did not stop in 1898.
In March. 1899, the exports Of manu-
features were $3.50, O25, 1913 as against
328, 214. $50 for March of 1898.

rub these facts in on those who advo-
Gated the Wilson tariff and who are
doubtless only waiting an opportunity
to begin to talk again about the beau
ties of free trade.

FOR A NEW COURT HOUSE.

Attention is called to the article in
this issue on the subject of a new court
house for Yellowstone county. 1t is
needed badly, and if the present court
house can be disposed Of at a fair
figure. a new one can be built without
either bonding the county or increasing
taxes. The commissioners, it is be-
lieved, are in a mood to take some ac-
ton, and that is half the battle.
Twenty five thousand dollars will put
up a court house and Jail which will
serve the county for twenty years. and
one that will be a credit to the city.
It will be economy, too, not to put
any more repairs on the present struc-
TUT the county has outgrown it; it is
we'll suited for a business house, and
now is the time, this newspaper be-
lieves, to dispose of it for the purpose
for which it was originally intended.
The safety of the county records de-
mands that something be done to pre-
serve them, which the commissioners
fully realize; they are not in favor Of
wasting money to enlarge vaults which
never were and cannot be made fire.
proof in such a building.
A site for a new court house will
probably be donated if the commission
ers decide to build. One has already
been offered, but it is not desirable,
The Gazette thinks, OH account of be-
ing too far from the business center.
But the offer is a liberal one, carrying
with it, as it does, a proposition to pur-
chase the present court house and Jail.
It should lead to others, and no doubt
will. The site is the first thing to be
secured and the commissioners, at their
June meeting, may take some action in
this direction. They would be justi-
fed. we think, in purchasing a site III
a good location if one is not donated.
A new court house must be built in a
few years, anyhow, and real estate in
this city is going to be higher in the
future instead of lower. It would be
economy, therefore, to secure ground
now.

The Omaha World Herald, Mr..
Bryan's personal organ, sarcastically
inquiries whether the Edward Atkinson
and Professor Laughlin Of today, whom
the administration papers denounce as
copperheads, are the same Edward At
kinson and Professor Laughlin whom
the republican organs "lauded to the
skies" in 1896, when the money ques-
tion was paramount, and when they
were supporting the gold standard.
Yes, it might be answered; they are
the same. The Edward Atkinson and
Professor Laughlin, whom the Bryan
papers are today holding up to the
country as true patriots in their work
of uttering reasonable sentiments and
sending seditious literature to Ameri-
can soldiers in the Philippines, are the
same Edward Atkinson and Professor
Laughlin whom the World Herald and
it's class denounced in 1896 as the
"hirelings of the gold power and the
arch enemies Of humanity"

assertions-was that protection was
ruinous to foreign trade. The enact

port of manufactures. What about this

Exports of leather, says the Shoe and
Leather Reporter, continue to show a
gratifying increase. Ten million dol.
lars worth of buff grain splits and
finished upper leather were exported
last year, as against less than three
million dollars worth ten years ago.
Our glazed kid manufacturers have i'll
particular made notable progress. Only
a few years ago they were having diff
Guilty in competing with the French
manufacturers in our own market.
Last year, besides completely supplying
the home market, they exported about
a quarter of a million dollars worth OF
their own product. American exports
of upper leather of all kinds in recent
years furnish a remarkable record.

tions il is a matter OF many years since

chieftain of the team. Whipple is foot
ball man of experience. having played his
position on both the winning California
elevens. BY many he is rated as the best
tackle on the coast. According TO Coch-
rams judgment, Pringle would secure
position on any one OF the big Eastern
varsity elevens If he would leave Cali

captain is a junior at the university. a
