Grosvenor, the administration mouth
piece, did not make great hit in his
speech on the currency bill. 1t is relat-
ed by Washington correspondents that
he was more than usually labored and
turgid. 1t was viscous, sluggish, and
vas evolved as usual with great effort
1t was in vain he interjected his pom
derous periods, courting applause. His
listless hearers heard and endured in
silence. Grosvenor appeared with
long bottle containing a decoction sus-
piciously like milk punch in color and
consistency. A glass of hot lemonade
also adorned his desk while he spoke.
with this sort Of energy, which is said
to make men own whole towns while 1t
lasts, Grosvenor talked prosperity for
two hours.

When the final accounting is had the
Philippines will be found to have come
high. Fhe entire archipelago is not
worth the life of one good American
citizen and it has cost thousands, be-
sides great treasure. But two-thirds of
one of the islands has been conquered
up to date, and there are fourteen hum
dred other islands in the group. 1t is
said that only two or three of the
islands will be used by this country.
What is to become Of the inhabitants
Of the remainder of the group? Are
they to be left to their fate? Are they
not to be enlightened with cannon
balls and benevolently assimilated with
Krag- Jorgensens? Are they not human
as we'll as the people of Luzon and
Negros? If this is war for humanity
is it humane to abandon any of the
inhabitants of the archipelago to their
own customs and manner of living? By
what process does one human being be-
come worth saving and another be un-
worthy of civilization under like con-
ditionS?

TIE PRESIDENT MISTAKEN.

Mr.. Mckinley, in his message to
congress, says: "Our exports for 1899
alone exceeded by more than a billion
dollars our imports and exports COM
bined in 1870"
In this the president must be mis-
taken. Our exports for the year end
ing June 80, last, were 81 ,227, ,2O3, ,0SS. Our
imports of merchandise, in 1870 We're
$495, 1858, ,4OS, and exports s392, III ,76S,
making a combined total of $S2S, ,730, ,176.
Deducting this combined total from the
total of our exports in 1899, we have a
difference of $S9S, Az, ,9O2, instead of more
than a billion of dollars.
1t would be wrong, no doubt, to
charge that the chief executive of the
nation had deliberately misstated facts,
but by what process of arithmetic the
president arrived at this conclusion as
stated in his message cannot be figured
out. To find year in which the COM
bined exports and imports of the United
States were not within a billion Of the
exports of 1899, one would have to run
back along the line of statistics, a
great number of years prior to 1870.

MINIMIZING mAcRUM.

Already the authorities at Washing
ton are beginning to discredit Consul
Macrum. The report that he is q friend
of President Kruger and that he is the
bearer of important information con-
cerning the treatment the English ac-
corded the Beers, and the cause of the
unholy war, has set the administration
agog. Nothing must be permitted that
will in any manner reflect upon the En-
glish, for the alliance forbids it. So
Macrum is to be discredited and the
effect of his story is to be minimized
even before he arrives and has an OPP
portunty to tell it. A dispatch from
Washington assures the anglomaniacs
that Macrum will not be allowed to APP
pear as a representative of this gov
ernment and will not be given an au-
dience in an official capacity, If at ALL
Meanwhile he has been displaced by
the Juicy Drained, gosling son of Sec
retary Hay, who is persona grata to
the promoters of the alliance with En-
gland, and who is guaranteed not to
have sense enough to see anything in
South Africa save through an English

Today is the Tooth anniversary of the
death of George Washington. George
has been known as the father of his
country. He led victorious army
against the British and fought gal
lantly for the liberty of the people.
He was the first president of this free
country-freer then than now. He
fought for the same thing that the Fill
ipinos want and that the Beers are
standing up and fighting for. Liberty
was the battle cry that won. There was
nothing of the imperialist about George.
He might have stopped fighting and
formed an alliance and got cable sta
ton out in the Pacific, lot of Hoten-
tots in Gaum and some Malays and
coolies in the Orient, at 81 a head, but
he was not that kind oe a statesman.

YOU mustn't Kill TIE TRUs S.

'Mr. McKinley's views as to trusts"
says the Chicago Times Herald, "are
those Of every capable and conservative
lawyer and legislator in the land. He
appreciates that they are obnoxious to
the common veal as well as to the
common law, but finds that they are not
so easy to regulate by legislation as
irresponsible demagogues would have
their dupes believe. How to kill the
trust without crippling the development
of national industry is problem which
the president passes up to congress"
This is not the only problem which the
president passes up" to congress
without recommendation-bu 1t is one
of the most important to the future well
fare Of the American people. There
is, however, not half so much danger
of crippling the development of
national industry, in the killing of the
trusts, as there is to the continued sue
cess Of the Republican party. Mr. Nc
Kinley owes his election to the liberal
contributions of the trusts to his cam
paign fund, and we may rest assured
that these organizations. which he
characterizes as obnoxious to the COM
mon law and the public welfare" will
continue to do business In the future
as they have in past. unmolested by
the president and his attorney general.

THEY BRIGHTEN
THE WOMEN.
Three Fellows Having 1t Their
Own Way In the East End.
BEEN AT 1T TWO WEEKS
Attempted to Rob a Saloon and Have Been
In the Habit of Helping Them
selves to Everything In
Sight,

Many of the citizens residing in East
Tuscarawas street and in the side
streets bisecting Tuscarawas street
north and south east of the bridge, are
terrorized over the experience which
they are said to have had with strange
men the past week or two. The matter
was not reported at the police station
until this, Thursday, morning, when a
resident called there and stated the
happenings of the past few days. 1t ap-
pears that three men, one of them an
swering the description of man want
ed badly by the police, have been MAX
ing themselves obnoxious by, visiting
the various residences at night and in
some cases attempting to open the
doors and windows and ataother times
peeping into windows and frightening
women almost to death. Residents are
armng themselves with shot guns and
other available arms.
1t appears that the fellows entered
Lauxman's saloon near the bridge
Tuesday night. One of them went into
the kitchen, another attempted to ex-
tract some cigars or money from the
show case standing in the front part of
the room while the other fellow also
acted suspiciously. They were caught
by member of the family and ordered
out of the place. They then started out
Tuscarawas street and down a side
street where they peeped into windows
and at other places the same night they
attempted to effect an entrance. 1t ap-
pears the fellows have been begging in
that vicinity the past few weeks, and
when ever they are refused anything
to eat they insult the persons to whom
they apply. 1t is stated that women
in that section of the town, who have
seen the fellows, will not leave their
homes after dark, they having become
terror-strfcken on account OF the ac-
tions of the men. The street railway
men have noticed the men frequently
as they have pulled east with their cars
but the strangers have made no at
tempt to molest them so far as is
known. Even during the day time they
enter yalds and appropriate whatever
they can lay their hands on.

he had come over to tell his friends that

NO WINTER AT ALL.

There is no occasion for worrying
about the weather and it will not likely
make much difference whether the rail-
roads cannot furnish enough cars to
carry coal or whether the gas fails
again. The goose bone man has been
at it again and has chased all the win
ter over into next summer, at which
time it will be evaporated and go up in
steam. Elias Hartz, of Pennsylvania,
has predicted about all the fogs Pitts
burg has had for some years and is con-
ceded to be a great prophet. Given
three goose bones and long hair, and he
produces the following:
1.-THE coming winter will be no winter
at all. This year, to make things sure,
1 used the breast bones of three geese.
The bones were all from geese of last
spring To my great surprise all were
alike in color / was not so much sur
prised by that as 1 was to see them
nearly all white. Only the slightest bit
of purple could be seen on the tail ENDS
of the bones. This purple indicates cold
weather, away off in March, probably.
All the rest of the bone is white, which
shows beyond question that there will
be no winter at all. The fact that the
three bones indicate exactly the same
thing might help to convince people who
take no stock in the goose bone as
weather sign; but one bone is enough
for me. In the last fifty years in which
1 have made an annual test, the bone
has never failed once. The weather al
ways came to pass as indicated by the
goose bone. So you need not expect
much snow or ice or cold weather until
next March. The winter will be the
mildest on record"
