A COMING LECTURE.

On Thursday, January Goth, Mrs.
Booth Tucker will visit Wheeling and
lecture upon the Social Work" of the
Salvation Army in the Fourth Street
M. Z. church. Mrs. Booth Tucker is
the second daughter of General VIM.
Booth, and with her husband, Com
mander Booth-Tucker, assumed COM
mand of the American forces three
years ago. During their brief COM
mand the social work of the Salvation
Army has been vigorously pushed, so
that now we have two hundred poor
families comfortably settled on three
colonies forty shelters firmly estab-
lished where thousands are comfort
ably housed, nineteen rescue homes"
for poor fallen women who desire to re-
turn to virtuous paths, homes for
homeless children. slum posts and var
ious other philanthropic movements.

The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly held it's first meeting of the
new year yesterday, and the interest
evidenced by the full attendance argues
we'll for the organization during the
next twelve months.
Among the noteworthy incidents Of
the meeting was the valedictory of the
retiring president, w. H. Riley, which
reviewed the work of the year just
closed, and was fraught with earnest
advice for the future and clearly
drawn lessons from the past. He con-
trasted the empty treasury and the
disturbed conditions OF the labor world
at the beginning of 1898 with the
Furnishing condition of the Assemblys
finances at present, and the general
improvement in the realm of the toll
ing masses. In pertinently referring
to the formation of trusts, he said:
There must be an earnest and encr-
getic effort TO combat them. 1t is the
paradox of the age that although cap
ital continually aims at Capitalization
and organization it looks upon the
same thing in the field of labor with
eminent disfavor." He pointed, how
ever, to the fact that arbitration dur
ing the past year was accepted with
better grace by both employer and
employee, illustrating the willingness of
both in these later days to submit dis
agreements TO the court of mutual
concessions and reason. The best way
to obtain favorable legislation, he
thought, is to appoint a representative
from each political party to offer sug-
gestions to the law making body of the
State. In closing, Mr.. Riley paid
high tribute to the fair and able man
ner in which the newspaper men re-
ported the meetings of the past year.
Secretary Salisburys report was vol
luminous and full OF facts and figures
of interest to labor The total receipts
of the Assembly Tor the twelve months
was s1,244.64, of which sum there is \
very considerable residue still in the
treasury. At the beginning OF the
year there were 80 local unions repre-
sented by delegates in the Assembly,
and on December 31st there were %.

But that is not the end of the story.
There is a still more curious compli-

means gentleman, or is equivalent to

A FEW PLAIN FACTS.
THE MALICIOUS AND IGNORANT
NEWSPAPER CRITICS
The Lack of Sufficient Soldier. in the
Philippines Due Entirely to the Hos
tility of the democrats Under Such
leaders as Senator German.

"
If those papers which propose to deal
fairly with the President in regard to
the Philippine matter would take the
time to possess themselves of Il few
facts, they could criticise more intelli-
gently and justly. For instance, those
papers assume that the apparent in
sutficiency of men in Luzon is due
either to Gen. Otis or the President. If
Gen. Otis has been reporting that 3d.
600 men are sufficient when they are
not, II of those critics says. he is un-
fit for the position. If, on the other
hand, this paper continues, he has re-
ported that 10000 men are sufficient
because the President desires such a
report, the President is more than re-
sponsible. The critic, it should he
added, expresses the opinion that the
latter assumption is very improbable.
So it is, and being one of the assump-
lions OF reckless and malignant papers
1t should not be repeated as a posi-
bility.
The grasp of n few facts would shift
the responsibility of having n larger
army in the Philippines. Aguinaldo
opened hostilities Feb. 4. At that date
the treaty with Spain had not been
ratified, and by the conditions Of the
protocol, which secured II cessation of
hostilities. the United States could not
send a soldier to Manila. The treaty
was not ratified by the Senate until
Feb. 6. AS soon as the treaty was
signed by the Queen of Spain, March
IL, the war was at an end. Not only did

They have doubled under q Republi-

publican vote has grown since 1896.
The fusion plurality last year was only
2,7S1 for Governor, the Republicans
carrying the Legislature and gaining
n Senator. Bryan has no certainty in
Nebraska in 1900. In fact, the chances
are the other way. Some Of the West
ern States in his list before are sure to
go against him next year. One of these
is Washington. Bryan's %anti-expan-
sion views alone settle that Washing
ton is for commercial development on
the Pacific. Its Republican plurality
last year was SOB. quite n change
from Bryan's l., 493 in 1896.
Kansas has parted company with the
silver party. Its Republican plurality
last year was 1aS7O. Kansas and
Washington combined take fourteen
electoral votes from the Bryan column.
a change of 1000 votes last fall would
have given Nebraska, and South Da-
kota to the Republicans. The gains of
Republican Congressman in the trans
Mississippi States last November We're
remarkable, and had the high distinc-
ton of saving the House. All of Ne
braka's neighboring States are as pros
porous as itself, and can match its in
crease invdeposits. Speaking in the
light of mathematical facts, Bryan's
prospects in the States west Of the
Mississippi have generally faded. Fig
ures of all kinds prove it Nor can he
count on gains east of the Mississippi,
unless in kentucky, in which the Dem
ocratic party at present is more seri-
ously divided than in 1896. The facts
in the case suggest IL change in the
Democratic candidate. but even that

very volunteer regiment have the

every volunteer regiment have the
right to muster out, but the regulars
enlisted under the law calling out the
volunteers had the right also to be
mustered out. This meant that on
March IL the only disciplined soldiers
Of whom the President could avail him
self was the regular army of $1,000
men in service when the war began.
Nearly q month passed after the attack
of Aguinaldo before the Senate permit
ted the bill increasing the army to be
come a law. The bill was fought by
Democrats under the lead of German
on the ground that the army was large
enough. Finally, after wasting more
than a month, during which period It
was doubtful if the hostile Senate
would give the President a man whom
he could send to Manila, that body,
March 2, passed the compromise army
bill which authorized the President to
increase the regular army to 65,OO0
men for two years and to enlist $4,000
volunteers for a like period. Until the
passage of this bill, nearly q month
after Aguinaldo began the war, the
President did not have a soldier he
could send to Manila-not one. After
the adjournment of Congress orders
were issued and recruiting for the reg
ular army began. If the $4,000 or SO
Of regulars had been recruited in q
week andhastenedto Manila they could
not have reached that point before the
middle of May. But the $4,000 or any
considerable portion of the number
could not be recruited in a week, and
they could not have been shipped to
Manila in such numbers because It
would have been impossible to obtain
ships to carry them. If these green
troops had arrived at Manila the mid
die Of May or June and had been put
into the field unacclimated, half Of
them would have died Of disease incl
dent to exposure in the beginning Of
the rainy season.
Therefore, II Gen. Otis had called for
10000 more men when Aguinaldo be
gan war, they could not have been sup
Piled until Congress had authorized the
President to recruit them. When Con-
gress did finally give the President the
authority it was too late to put that
number Of seasoned and disciplined
men in Manila. The later responsible
tty about calling for more men may
rest with Gen. Otis as O matter Of
judgment, but the fact that the Preea-
dent had no men to send is due larEeay
to the Gormans and the Vests end
