UNMIsTAKABLY AND IRREsIsTABLY
DEMOCRATIC. e.

Everything points to a Democratic
victory in Ohio this fall. The trusts,
imperialism, militarism, Hannaism and
Bossism are too much for the great
majority Of voters to stand, and they
will be heard from in November. The
following from a prominent Cincin-
natl business man can be taken as an
indication how the political wind is
blowing:

A USEFUL VICE PRESIDENT.

The Chicago Chronical was one of
the first papers, II not the first to dis
cover the usefulness OF Vice President
Hobart, and it proposes that the SER
vices OF the vice president shall not be
ignored. His valuable services to his
country and to the President in secur-
ing the resignation of Mr.. Alger re-
ceives well merited recognition in the
following editorial:
Save when natural death or "the lot.
terry OF assassination" advances him to
the white house, the vice president of
the United States cuts but small fig
ure in the public eye. The facetious
references TO vice presidents as being
unknown to the general population
have some foundation in fact. To most
people the vice president is merely a
name. He is sort Of fifth wheel to
the national wagon. He has no pat
ronage-hence he is not cultivated by
the practical politicians. He has
no executive duties--hence he
receives little attention from the
people. Like the late Wilkins
Mlcawber, he Is merely wait
ing for something to turn up, and unless
the article turned up happens to be the
toes of the president he is likely 10 go

forced to abandon his campaign

The conditions in Manila are best un-
derstood by study of the sanitary and
health reports of the British troops In
India. The latter are better situated
as regards health and exposure than
our soldiers in the Philippines, who are
nearer the equator, and in damp and
malarious surroundings. Yet parlia-
mentary report on the health OF the
British army in India for 1896 shows
the general average OF the army was
70, ,484 Europeans, while the admissions
to the hospitals during the year were
81, 73S, or l 1856 per 1000. That is, on an
average the admissions annually ex-
ceeded the number OF the troops, as a
certain mum Der out OF every 1000 were
admitted more than once. But this in
cludes reports from the health stations
on the hills. The sick rate In the Phil
ippines, when northern vigor is fairly
sapped out of the Americans, will fairly
correspond to the stations on the plains
in India, where the hospital admissions
were found to be l 400 for every 1000
soldiers. This is the Judgment OF the
English sanitary experts. In NADIA
gascar, where the conditions of health
are better than in the Philippines, the
French suffer more than the British in
India In ten months, out OF an effec-
tive force OF 1850 men, the deaths
were 4,1S9, or nearly one-third, or 225
out OF every 1000.
Only study of the Philippine facts,
compared with the vital statistics Of
other tropical countries occupied by
white men from Europe show into what
charnel house, as it were, our Ameri-
can soldiers have been thrown by their
occupation of the Philippines 1t Is
terrible to reflect on and the horror is
emphasized when we involuntarily ask,
Why are they in the Philippines
what great purpose, national or hu-
name, is to be subserved? ?

WHY ARE THEY IN THE PHILIP.
PINES?

Owing to the censored dispatches
from Manila the people have been kept
in ignorance of the real condition OF
the American soldiers in the Philip
pines. The Pittsburg Post, in an edi-
torial on "The Sick at Manila" says:
An uncensored dispatch via Hong
Kong, reports between 1900 and 1000
American soldiers in the military hos
pitfalls, besides a considerable contin.
gentill in quarters, while large num-
bers OF men, now on duty, are reported
by regimental surgeons as unfit for ser.
vice, and many of these will doubtless
soon swell the list of hospital patients.
This is not to be wondered at when we
study the weather reports that General
Otis allows to come through. Think
of Al inches OF rain falling the first
twenty days of July. The soldiers are
encamped In swamps 'and forced to
sleep and rest In water, either under a
pourdown or in the shallow lakes that
now cover most OF the country. We
would not be surprised, even with re-
inforcements sent out, Otis will
have fewer effective men In

AMPLE.

Mr.. A. A. Brown, a prominent citi-
zen of Cincinnati, and an active men,
ber of the Union Reform League Of
that city, withdraws his name from
that League so that he may give his
unqualified support to the Democratic
party. In letter to the chairman Of
the league he says:
"Firmly believing that the Demo-
cratic party, under the matchless lead
ership of VIM. J. Bryan, will reafiirm
the Chicago platform in national and
and state conventions, and believing as
do, that every patriotic citizen of
this nation who honors its history, its
constitution and its great principle
that governments derive their just
power from the consent Of the govern
ed" should cooperate to the one end
that the policy of Imperialism and des-
potism should be rebuked; that the bad
faith manifested toward the people in
concealing great truths concerning the
Philippine campaign should be con-
demned; that the aid and fostering
care extended by the present admins
tration to the creation of great trusts
to the sacrifice of commercial liberty
on the part of Independent industry
should be overthrown; to
the end that corruption, Of
fetal robbery and theft, and the MUIR
der of tens of thousands of our brave
sons in an unholy war should be met in
solid phalanx, instead OF broken ranks
and believing as do that the Chicago
platform presents principles best
adapted to present great emergencies,
it is therefore my patriotic duty to give
it my supsort.
"And, believing as do, that Repub-
licanism in Ohio Is little short of politi-
cal despotism, and the interests of the
state demand it's overthrow, and believ-
ing as | do, that the best methods to
employ to defeat the great enemy OF
political purity and civil liberty is by
presenting solid and undivided front
and believing as do that the candi'
dacy of John r. Mclean, an ideal
Democrat, a philanthropist and bene.
factor of the poor, who, notwithstand.
ing, his wealth, is always mindful Of the
necessities of the unfortunate and suf.
fering, will cement the Democracy in
the state and result in a magnificent
and triumphant victory at the polls,
must therefore withdraw from the
Union Reform movement and give my
unqualified support to the candidacy oi
John r. Mclean for governor and the
support of the Democratic party"

How the trusts take care of labor
and the consumer is we'll illustrated by
the tin plate trust. Out of $4,000 tin
plate workers, 1000 skilled workmen
received an advance of 10 per cent.
At the same time the price OF tin plate
has advanced to the consumer l.65 per
box. On the output the trusts have
advanced prices to the extent of $l4,-
100000 in seven months. The advance
in wages for the same period amounts
to $5OO,OOO-a net gain in the advance
of the price Of tin plate over the ad.
vance in the price of labor of $13, ,500,.
000 The consumer pays the price,
The trust pockets the profits.

HOPE SEES A STAR.

The sudden and pathic death Of Rob
ert Ingerson has revived many of the
things he said and wrote when he was
yet in full strength and vigor of his
manhood. The following Grafton de-
livered at his brothers bier, some
years ago, though "vague and unde-
fined" is pathetically descriptive of his
own death.
Dear Friends: I am going to do
that which the dead oft promised he
would do for me.

band, father, friend died when man.

and while the shadows still were fall

rock and in an instant hear the billows
roar above a sunken ship. For, wheth-
er in mid sea or 'mong the breakers of
the farther shore, wreck at last must

every life, no matter il its every hour
is rich with love and every moment
jeweled with a joy, will, at its close, be-
come tragedy as sad and deep and
dark as can be woven OF the warp and
woof of mystery and death.
"Life is a narrow vale between the
cold and barren peaks of two eternities.

tained that the vice president serves
no earthly use.
1t is evident, however, that, In the
case of the Honorable Garrett A. Ho-
bart at least, this assertion Is not vel
founded. The Honorable Garrett A
Hobart has demonstrated that he Is
of some use-not, perhaps, In strictly
official way, but in extricating his
chief, the Honorable William McKin-
ley, from an awkward and embarrass-
ing situation. Incidentally, perhaps,
he has conferred benefit upon the
country.
For IL was Mr. Hobart who induced
the Honorable Russell A. Alger to
offer his resignation as secretary of
war-the resignation being grabbed by
the president with the joyous alacrity
displayed by the traditional turkey
gobbler in disposing of the grasshopper
on the sweet potrto vine. How Mr.
Hobart did it-how he turned General
Alger from his repeatedly expressed
determination to serve out his
term--can only be conjectured. 1t is
enough to know that by hook Of crook
he got Alger to retire voluntarily from
the cabinet, relieving the president OF
the unpleasant necessity OF evicting
him vi ct armis.
Thus, as we have said Mr.. Hobart
saved his chief some Embarrassment.
For the president was In an awkward
fix. He had publicly declared, not 80
long ago, that General Alger was per-
soma gratissima In the cabinet and that
he could stay as long as he liked.
Hence, when he changed his mind con-
cerning the matter-when he decided
to offer up Alger as sacrifice to pop
ular wrath-it became delicate mat
ter to get Alger In the proper frame OF
mind to become the burnt Offering. He
wouldn't take hints and it would have
been rather inconsistent to fire" him
bodily after expressing the highest re-
gard for his ability and services. 1t
was In this emergency that the Honor
able Garrett A. Hobart came to the
rescue.
Carrying General Alger off to his
seaside cottage, Mr.. Hobart proceeded
to wrestle with him. What spells,
what COMPUTATIONS or what mighty
magic he employed we do not pretend
to say. But he did the trick. He got
the resignation. He saved the presi-
dent an extremely unpleasant quarter
OF an hour. Incidentally he relieved
the war department of an incubus. And
for these services he is entitled to a
certain degree Of approval He dem
onstrated that vice president can,
upon occasion, do something else than
draw his salary.
Whether the performance OF polit-
ical dirty work for the president con-
stitutes an evidence of statesmanship
is not to the purpose. No one has ever
accused Mr.. Hobart of being states
man. He merely wants to run for the
vice presidency again, and, consider
ing his services to Major Mckinley,
that gentleman will be ungrateful II
he refuses so small a favor.

Senator Elkins defends Alger's con-
duct of the war and thinks Mr.. Alger
has been abused too much. He says:
"Of course there were mistakes" But
he is OF the opinion that the President
and not the Secretary should be held
responsible. Says Mr.. Elkins: "Sec-
retary Alger has been compelled to
endure series of brutal assaults which
should have been hurled at the ,Presi-
dent" The fact that Mr.. Elkins has
heretofore been unfriendly to Mr.. AL
ger makes his statement all the more
significant. There is, however, one
way to settle the question as to "Who
was responsible?" and settle it rig hit for
all time to come. Let the President

to refuse to vote for Hanna, will be

August 16, at Kilgore, In Carroll

ties. All these things make it hard

Hanna lieutenants went after Rutan
first at the primaries in Carroll county
and they induced Ex-Mine Inspector
Thomas Fl. Love to be candidate
against Rutan. The fact that Rutan
went back on Mark, the First, was
worked by postmasters and other fed
eral Office holders and the Hanna peo-
pie let lots Of beer and Doodle loose in
the fight and then only obtained bare
majority of the delegates for Love, and
they are afraid all of them may not
stick but may vote for Rutan. The
Hanna people in Harrison worked mat
ters to fever heat, although the For
aker bosses, who control the situation
there, played cards pretty skilfully and

OF the Army.
Special to the News-Democrat.

Special to the News-D Democrat.
London, July ga private letter
received here from a war correspon-
dent at Manila and dated June IL says:
"There seems to be no end Of the war
in sight. The censorship Is constantly
becoming more troublesome. General
Otis recently established rule that
any matter relating to the navy must
be taken to the commander of the feet
for his approval and afterwards sub
mitted to the military censor, thus add
ing to our difficulties. For some rea-
son, which the censor would not ex-
plain, General Otis refused to allow us
to send the death OF the Monadnock's
captain, Nichols, for two days after its
occurrence. The general also refused
to let US send news Of the disappear
ance Of Captain Rockefeller april 28),
on the ground that 1t would worry his
family, or the killing OF Captain Tilly,
of the signal corps, until the next day.
The correspondents are all very tired
of this arrangement, which simply
means that they must go out and rim
larges chances of getting shot, several
times week, with no chance of max
ing regulations, because their stories
must always reflect Otis views.
"It Is impossible to write the truth
about the situation. The recources
and fighting qualities OF the natives
are quite misunderstood by the Ameri-
can papers, and we cannot write the
facts without being accused OF treason;
nor can we tell of the practically unani-
nous opposition to and dislike of the
war among the American troops. The
volunteers, or at least a portion of
them, were at one time on the verge OF
mutiny, and unless General Otis had
begun sending them homewards there
whould have been sensational develop
ments.
"We have been absolutely refused all
hospital figures"
