notice by recent dispatches In the
daily press from Manila that Aguinaldo
and his followers have been celebrating
in honor of the undergraduates, ana
that the Independence, in an editorial
says: Mr.. Bryan should be pictured
in Filipino history with equal glory
with DIR. Rial and Aguinaldo. They
are the glorious trinity of our political
redemption. Those fellows over there
should remember that political parties
are most wonderfully constituted IN this
glorious country and that party plat
forms are highly uncertain quantity, las
full of holes as skinner and made OF
very elastic material. Witness the attl'
tude of the Republican party toward Sill
yer a few short years ago and It's attl-
tude Immediately after the election OF
Mckinley. 1t will not be advisable lor
the Fllipinos TO bank too heavily on the
attitude of the anti-imperialists. Our
stock of issues for national campaign
has run rather low since the great gODs
of prosperity we are now absorbing have
put quietus on the IT. to issue, and
anti imperialism is about the best thing
we now have in stock with which TO
work up the excitement necessary for a
well-regulated presidential campaign.

ALMA RECORD -
will give you short description OF
our voyage from Honolulu to Manila
will have to commence writing now,
as my time will be short for some time
TO come when we land.
We left Honolulu, Oct. 18th, at ten
O'Clock and at present writing are 800
miles from Manila. We will reach there
Sunday morning if nothing happens.
The boys are very anxious 10 get ashore,
the trip has been long and tiresome to
many on board; not enough foot move
ment, and the same kind off food. They
all want change, be it better or worse.
Our daily exercises are as follows:
Get up for breakfast at 200; Guard
Mount at 9 30, each company has 20
minutes Calisthcnic exercises; dinner
at II noon. The afternoon is devoted to
card games of different kinds, athletic
sports and reading, etc. Supper at 30.
Band concert from $50 until s 30 p. IN.
Taps at 40 p. M, and all Is over for
the day.
A funny thing happened Sunday af-
ternoon at two o'clock, oct Sth. We
crossed the 1S0th meridian. Time ad.
vanced "a hours. We had TO skip one
day in all our books, so we lost the 9th
day of Oct. Some Of the boys are still
working on the problem, how we can
gain day.
We have had only one storm on our
voyage SO far. We had one that shook
us all up for a while. 1t was rough for
two days and then all was pleasant
again. One could not wish for better
weather than we had on this trip.
There is no bad sickness OH board as
yet and no deaths, which is wonderful.
Very seldom voyage of this kind, and
so far, without some one dying. There
are only four ladies on board, they are
nurses for general hospital at Manila.
cannot blame the boys for getting lone.
some with no ladies. have notion to
get lonesome myself sometimes.
Friday, Oct. 20th.-We are between
two of the Philippine Islands this morn
ing; Manila on our left and a small is
land on our right, the first land we have
seen OH our trip from Honolulu, The
first we saw was rocks rising as il
seemed out of the water, no land. The
rocks looked like marble in the sunlight
it was very beautiful indeed.

| notice in your issue of Nov. goth an
article signed Tax Payer" relative TO
that 81 900 guaranteed and paid &. w.
Althouse when his mill burned AT Ithaca
some time ago. While not wishing to
enter into any controversy regarding the
court house question, | desire 10 state,
that that tax payer told as far AS l was
concerned, deliberate falsehood. AS
supervisor of Ithaca township, never
spend a cent of tax to raise money for
Mr.. Althouse. AS assessor of the village
of Ithaca, spread the tax that L was
authorized TO spread by the village
board. and had no more 20 do with auth
orizing the tax spread than the tax pay
er himself. / was not member OF the
board of trustees neither had vote or
voice in the matter, as the taxpayer
knows, and as the records Will prove.
The responsibility for spreading what
was called the Althouse tax, rests with
the board of trustees for that year, and
have no idea but what they are perfect
lv willing TO assume it. As far rs was
concerned, had no discretion IN the
matter, simply did my duty and notL'
