1T IS GRAVE.

The situation at Manila is very
aim that is to loot Manila. 1t is with
this hope of reward that the thousands
of half civilized men have Joined his
standard. All Aguinaldos vaporing
about his love of country, and his de-
sire for liberty is so much playing to
the gallery. He is intensely venal and
has shown it. Not three years ago he
sold his cause to the Spaniards and he
would be just as willing to sell it to
the Americans, only they are not on
the buy; he finds that they are on the
fight
The reports that come over the wires
show that Aguinaldo is playing up his
cards as fast as he can. He has made
an effort to burn Manila, and has sue
ceeded in part. He proposes to give no
quarter to American soldiers and he
would massacre every foreigner on the
island if he could.
1t is very evident that Aguinaldo's
strength lies in Luzon, and that on the
other islands in the group he is Meth
err popular nor regarded as representa-
tive of any cause. In point of fact the
industrious on the other islands will
accept American rule with pleasure,
because it assures them the fruits of
their industry.
All the same the position in Manila
is grave because the troops have not
only to fight the armed foe, but have
lines. Dewey and Otis however are
more than a match for Aguinaldo and
his advisers, some of whom are un-
doubtedly renegade whites.

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.

There are always two sides to a sto-
ry, and from DR.. Raffers interview
can be gathered the German stand
point. Consul General Roses reasons
for his opposition to the decision of the
chief justice are now for the first time
published. He is said to have taken
the course he did upon a clause in the
Berlin treaty which spoke of not inter
fering with Samoan law and customs.
He considered that the decision of the
chief justice was against those laws
and customs and therefore should not
be obeyed.
DIR. Raffel stated that the reason
that the friction arose between the con-
suls and himself was because he would
not join them in flying his flag over the
chief Justices house, in order to pro-
teet Mr.. Chambers, whose life was
threatened. urging as his excuse that
the residence was too far away to be

1t is satisfactory to find that the
opinion of Chief Justice Judd has been
upheld with regard to admitting of
those Chinese who held permits for
their return. The solicitor general re-
views the case very ably and points
out the manifest injustice" of inter
fering with a right incidental to lawful
residence in the Islands. The questions
of female relatives and travellers still
b
temain in allegiance. 1t is now very ev-
ident that the Chinese were wise in
sending Attorney Robertson forward
to argue their case,

The letter of Pope Leo to Cardinal
Gibbons upon Americanism is a very
important document, and will be read
with much care not only by Roman
Catholics but by thinking people of all
denominations. 1t lays down with care
certain principles which will be a dis
tinct guide to Catholicism throughout
the world. This is probably by far the
most important thesis which has come
from the Vatican for years, and may
be regarded as the religious will and
testament of a prelate who has won
the respect and esteem of the Christian
world.

protected by the guns from the Ger
ent excuse, but had the consuls shown
a united front instead of a disunted
one, it is hardly probable that the Sa-
means would have acted in the manner
that they did. II was the fact that
they saw division that made them the
holder.
1t is also very plain that though the
division broke out at that particular
time, it has been smoldering along for
some time. A disagreement so radical
does not spring up in an hour, there
must have been causes deep down,
which came to head then.
Complicated with the political disa-
greements are those of religion, and
nothing can be more embittering than
such a difficulty. The Roman Catho-
lie and the Protestant factions have
fallen out and each is accusing the 9th
err of trying to gain power through its
appointee.
AS far as actual violence goes there
seems to be peace within the Islands,
though the outside world knows very
little about what goes on outside of
Apia. But it is evident that there is
much friction between the opposing
foreign forces, as the records of the
chief Justices court show.
1t will be a good thing when the Phi
ladelphia reaches Apia. With an ad-
miral present matters can possibly be
made more satisfactory, but it looks
serious conference between the three
treaty powers and a thorough investl-
cation of the conduct of the consuls
and possibly of the intrigues of the va
rious religious bodies.

WHY NOT ACT?

The food commissioner is evidently
doing his duty in so far as he has ex-
amined many specimens of food and
has found them adulterated more or
less seriously. He tells of adulterated
coffee, of adulterated cocoa, of adulter-
ated milk, of adulterated pepper and
80 forth. He complies with the law in
making a monthly report to the Board
of Health, and then the matter no lon
ger lies in his hands, he can do moth
ing unless the Board of Health con-
sents.
The law reads, Act "a of Session
Laws of 1898, Section 5: who
ever violates any of the provisions of
this act shall be guilty of misdemea-
nor, and upon conviction shall be fined
not exceeding one hundred, nor less
than twenty, dollars, or be imprisoned
at hard labor not exceeding one hun
dred, nor less than thirty, days, or
both"
The penalty is severe enough. The
mere fact of being shown up without
penalty would be severe, as it would
injure if not annihilate the retailers
trade. But it is not in the hands of
the food inspector alone to push for
the penalty.
Section of the act above quoted,
says: 1T shall be the duty of the food
commissioner, with the consent of the
Board of Health, to make complaint,
with the necessary evidence, through
the proper authorities against such
manufacturer or vendor"
From this it is very clear what the
duty of the Board of Health is One
fails to see what is the reason for any
discussion as to how to proceed. The
evidence of adulteration is before the
Board of Health. They must either be-
lieve their analyst, or they must not.
If they do not trust their analyst they
should get another; if they do trust
him why do they not at once tell him
to make complaint through the prop
err authorities
In dealing with a question of this
kind there should be no respecting of
persons. If the better class of stores
are selling adulterated goods they
should be shown up as much as the
small vendors. What it is that makes
the Board of Health hold it's hand one
cannot say but looking at the matter
as an outsider the delay in action,
when the evidence is plainly before
them, is inexplicable.

FAvORs GOOD ROADS.
United States Senator Harris Makes
Some Suggestions.

In a letter to a Topeka friend, United
States Senator W. A. Harris says of
Kansas roads:
I feel warmly interested in the sub
ject, and have grieved no little over
the apathy to move in that direction
among our people. 1t seems to me that
the first move must be made in the di-
rectiOn of proper location of roads. Our
rectangular section line theory will
never permit of construction of decent
roads The roads between principal
towns should be located with reference
to grade and distance. The distance
can nearly always be shortened greatly,
and easy grades can be obtained, so
that it will be possible then to go on
with macadam, which is so easily avail
able everywhere throughout the state.
The section line roads may serve to
considerable extent as laterals to the
main roads. OF course, the only possible
objection that can be offered to such a
location is that here and there men may
have their farms divided by the road,
but the fact is that road through
farm is very often a great convenience,
and it is no more trouble to cultivate
field on one side of the road than on the
other. However, there may be angles
occasionally that farmer recognizes
as somewhat incOnVenient. In Kentucky
and elsewhere these things have been
adjusted very frequently by farmers
exchanging pieces of land which are cut
off by the turnpikes. At any rate, these
are minor objections in comparison with
the great object of reduced distance
and grades

the statement that the insurance COM

In view of the new testimony intro

to be hopeless. That the case was

GRISSOM SUES WOODS.
Poet Writer Asks Kansas City Banker
to Pay $4,000 For Alienat
ing His Wife.

Kansas City, Dec. 11.-Dr. William S.
Woods, the millionaire, president of the
National Bank of Commerce, was sued
Saturday by his sOn-in-laW, Arthur
GrissOm. the writer and poet, for $780,
600 DANA ges, for alternating the affec-
tions of Mr.. GrissOm's wife, and for
1000 for breach of contract, making
$4,000 in all. The suits were filed in
the circuit court late Saturday after
noon Mr.. Grissom's s lawyers are Frank
p. Walsh, F. f. ROZZelle and John G..
Park.
Mr.. Grissom states as his cause of
action that from the day of his mar
riage with Julia Stone Woods the only
child of DR.. Woods, her father has sys-
tematically and persiStently prosecuted
her to dislike him and leave him. and at
last did take her away from him and
is keeping her in Philadelphia against
her will. Mr.. Grissom declares that his
wife loves him, that he loves her de-
votedly and that if it were not for the
interference of DR.. Woods, she and their
child, Gladys, would return to him and
they would be happy together.
Miss Woods was engaged to marry
Archie RObart, a well-known young at
tOrney, of Hannibal Mo, and. with her
mother, had gone to New Y Ork to pur-
met GrissOm, whom she had known be-
fore, and they were married, using the
money intended for the wedding outfit
on their honeymoon. They settled in
New York. In April, 189S DR.. Woods
wrote to Grissom, promising him an
allowance of $500 a month if he would
remove to Kansas City. In his petition
for damages for breach of contract,
GrissOm alleges but one months install
ment was paid. All persons concerned
in the suit are prominent socially in
this city, and the filing of the suit has
created a sensation.
