PHILIPPINE FACTS.

The campaign in the Philippines
has now been under active discussion
for over a month past, since the Presi-
dent announced his determination to
send DO, 600 men to the islands, and
certain facts are now established
First, the delay in the operations
in Luzon and the lack of men were
due to congress and it's disarmament
of the war army. This reduced the
regular army to 81, 400 men. Since
this reduction took place in March
over So, 600 men have been enlisted or
re-enlisted, until there are men
enough.
Second, the loss from disease in the
Philippines has been less than in any
tropical military expedition save one
or two short wars by English troops
and less than most English tropical
wars. Instead of the loss by disease
being heavy and due to carelessness,
it is less than the loss in the Mexican
war or the Civil war, less than in any
French expedition, and less than most
English expedition, as medical re-
turns and records show.
Third, instead of the result being
small from the fighting of the past
six months it has been large. A third
of the Tagal territory is now held. The
large forces of the enemy are broken.
The Visaya islands are peaceful. The
Sulu islands have accepted American
allegiance. Active resistance exists
in not one-sixth of the archipelago.
The campaign continues in spite of
the rainy season, and by November
Luzon will be brought under peace,
law and order.

FARMERS TRUST.

Col. Bryan, Congressman Daily and
other Silver Democratic Statesmen

1t is evident nothing short of "16 tc

"ROT AND TREASON. +"

The True Democratic Banner, al
ways faithful supporter of the
Chicago platform in its entirety, will
be seized with something more than a
cold chill when it reads the following
timely editorial comment on the
Democratic meeting held in New
York on Monday, from the Trenton
True American, the leading Demo
cratic paper of New Jersey:
The so-called Chicago Platform
Democrats, - in their meeting at
Cooper Institute, New York, under
the lead and inspiration of ex-Gover-
nor Altgeld, of Illinois, and Congress-
man Lentz, of Ohio, cheered Aguinal-
do, and denounced the Philippine wal
as "a cruel and brutal attempt to
crush weak people who are bravely
contending for the exercise of their
natural and God given right of self.
government.
1t will not be unprecedented for the
Chicago Platform Democrats to put
Aguinaldo ON the ticket as Vice
President, after speech referring tc
the pressure of thorns ON the brow OF
the Filipinos
But it will not add to the unifica-
tion of Democratic purpose to an
nounce as Democratic doctrine any
such rot and treason.

OUR GREATEST CORN CROP.

Last Tuesday a canvass of the States
which raise most of the corn grown on
this continent, made it seem safe to pre-
dict that the corn crop of the United
States would amount to 100000, 900
bushels, Advices received up to yester-
day, however, seem to indicate that the
crop may be from 10 to Is per cent. less
than this.
These figures have never been reached
before, and only eight times has the crop
amounted to 1900, 900, 900 bushels.
In order to convey to our readers some
slight idea of what such figures mean,
we have made the following calcula-
ton
A reduction Of Is per cent. on $780,
100000 bushels leaves 81, 125, 900 900
bushels. This, if loaded on freight cars,
which each hold on an average 600 bush
els, would fill 8, 541 ,667 cars, which would
make S8,542 trains of 40 cars each.
Freight cars are about 35 feet long,
bumper to bumper, and freight engine
and tender are 60 feet long, while ca
boose measures about 80 feet, making
the length of train 1890 feet. The
total length of all these trains, standing
end to end, would be over 1909 miles,
or less than 1900 miles short of reaching
around the earth at the equator
The Western farmers are to be con-
graduated Last years wheat crop and
the good price they got for it fairly set
them on their feet, and they have been
paying off their mortgages with ease,
without the help of Bryan's so cent silver
dollars. This years corn crop will put
them in such good spirits that the ca
lamlty howlers will find it hard work to
gain their ears.

A COLD FACT EDITION.

A cold fact edition would certainly
sell rapidly, for, as the Sussex Regis
ter truthfully remarks:
There is abundant material at hand
this week for ''cold fact edition, -
but we are inclined to be charitable,
even at the risk of mourning the dis
pleasure of the chronic kickers. An
unidentified writer, whose name
should not be hidden under the con-
temptible Elk, - truly says: Every
issue of live and reputable news
paper is mantle of charity and the
matter left out-truth, not gossip of
dames-would often more than equal in
volume the matter published. If any
editor could get out cold fact edi-
tion some day, and get up tall tree
and watch the result-whew what a
panic there would be. If people in
general manifested half as much ener-
gy i'll assisting newspaper men to Sc
cure news, as they do in condemn
ing them for not publishing it, there
would be less cause for complaint. -

IN SEPTEMBER HEAVENS.

A group of consultations which
afford fitting prelude to the brilliant
skies of Winter now grace the north
eastern heavens, says the New York
Mail and Express.
Taking survey of the stars visible
at 8 o'clock on September LIST, the
first to be noticed is the Big Dipper,
swinging low down in the northwest.
Farther south, and pointed out by
the curve in the handle of the Dip
per, Arcturus is nearing the horizon.
In the extreme southwest Antares
the fiery, is setting, followed higher
up by the planet Saturn, recognizable
by it's steady light. The visible por-
tion Of the Milky Way begins here
and sweeps across the heavens almost
through the zenith, disappearing be-
low the northeastern horizon.
High up in the south, included in
the Milky Way, shines Affair, the
first magnitude star Of Aquilla.
Turning to the east, the great square
of Pegasus, formation once learned
never forgotten, is visible. Alpha
Andromeda forms one corner of the
square.
| Far down in the southeast, Fomal-
haut. the most southern bright star
ever visible i'll these ATTITUDES, is ris-
ing. A little to the west of the zenith
shines the superb Vega, and farther
to the east the Northern Cross.
| 1t is to Cassiopeia, Andromeda and
Perseus that the September evenings
will owe their chief distinction. OF
the three, Cassiopeia is perhaps the
easiest to locate, its five bright stars
in zigzag row being very noticeable.
They give the chair in which the
lady famed in mythology is supposed
to be sitting the appearance of an ar
ticle of furniture with the back fall
| ing out. Perseus is directly below
| Cassiopedia, and is distinguishable
by line of bright stars perpendicular
to the horizon, while little distance
to the east is a group of four, one of
which, Algol, is, with the possible
exception of Mira, the best known of
variables.
Higher in the sky and farther to the
east Andromeda may be recognized
by the three second magnitude stars
in long, bending row.
All these consultations are notable
in the history of stellar astronomy.
Andromeda contains the great nebula
which, under favorable conditions
clear weather and absence of moon
| light-can be seen with an opera
glass.
1t has often been mistaken for
comet. Persons claims notice not
only because of the mysterious Algol,
already mentioned, but ON account of
the "Great Cluster, veritable
"ball of suns. 1t can just be de
tectedby the naked eye as nebulous
patch.

Long Felt Want.
1t is always pleasure to visit a
store where the proprietor not only
caters to the wants of customers, but
has thought for the comfort of the
latter as we'll. Such a place is the
store of F. A. Trowbridge, successors
to Carlson Brothers Company. The
interior has been remodeled and the
complete line of sporting goods hand
led by the new firm are shown to the
best possible advantage. In addition
to bicycles and sundries is to be found
a complete stock of Photographic
supplies, with dark room for those
who desire to avail themselves of it's
use, golf goods, fishing tackle, base
ball, foot ball and lawn tennis sup
plies, and graphaphones and records.
Mr.. Trowbridge, the head of the
new firm, is not stranger to Morris
town, having been resident here at
one time. He spent seven years in
the sporting goods business in New
York and is certainly qualified to
make success in his chosen line.
There has long been a demand in
Morristown for an establishment of
this kind and Mr.. Trowbridge is here
now to fill this want See advertise

STATE PRISON ALARM CLOCKS

An air of mystery seems to sur
round the attempt on the part OF the
Board of Inspectors of the State
Prison in their attempt to place the
responsibility for the recent escape of
two notorious prisoners, remarks
the Trenton True American. Jacob
Van Wrinkle, of this city, is an In
spector and member of the Special
Visiting Committee, which is giving
especial attention to the matter. In
an interview, he said to a Chronicle
representative that she hoped one of
the prisoners would be re-captured
very soon, which he thought would
result in the capture of the other. -
Mr.. Van Wrinkle said that while his
committee had not learned how the
prisoners escaped, it had ascertained
the fact that there was need OF a
much Better system of guarding pris-
oners than the present method. For
instance the Board found alarm clocks
n'each tower, in which the guards
were supposed to watch during the
night, so arranged that the alarm
would ring hourly, when it is pre-
sumed the sleepy watchmen would be
awakened, signal that they were on
duty and then resume their disturbed
slumbers.
The clocks in the south towers, To-
Gated on the wall which the prisoners
who escaped scaled, were found run
ming at o'clock on the morning of
August 18th, and the records
show that one of the guards failed to
signal at II O'Clock as required. Evil
IDENTIFY his slumbers were too heavy
or else he was absent from his post of
duty. In either case the neglect to
signal should have been Immediately
investigated by the proper authori
ties.
Inspector Van Wrinkles opinion
s'that the Board had acquired, during
the investigation, a good deal of valu-
able information, which must lead to
a better system of management, F" has
been the opinion of the public for a
long time. We hope the investiga-
tion will be thorough and conducted
irrespective of party or party ap-
pointments The management of the
New Jersey State Prison has not been
highly creditable to the State for
somee tim past
