The Knowledge Wanted.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealcr)
The public are not greatly concerned about
General Miles They are concerned as to the
character Of the provisions furnished the troops
the private soldiers-and II there bad meat
they would like to know why there has been such
persistent effort TO make it appear nothing was
furnished but what was sweet and wholesome. 4"
On the other hand, if the meat was as good as
is claimed by the War Department officials. they
would like to know how there comes to be such
a CLOUD Of witnesses 10 the contrary.

Mr.. Reed and His Party.

From the Philadelphia North American.)
Sneaker Reed is big mana mighty big nan
and on most questions he is sound; but he is
NOT the Republican party, nor does he frame
the policies of the Republican party, either by
sarcastic shafts or otherwise; and this must be
horne in mind. The Republican party has al
ready defined It's attitude the question,
and the simple question for Speaker Reed 10 de
eide is whether lie will follow on or fall To
the rear And this is no joke.

An Opinion of shur.er.

From the Minneapolis Tribune)
shafter is the most pretentious military hum
bug developed by the late war, but his luck was
phenomenal. He had officers and men under
him who were unconquerable alike by the Span
iards and by their own laundering commander
in-chef. And it is upon their disobedience OF his
orders and their gallant work that Shsfter now
builds his own fame, churlishly refusing them
the full measure OF credit which they deserve.

Under Mr. Zimmerman.

We predict that the Liberal party, far
the members OF it in England, Scotland, and
Wales are concerned, will get together better
under Mr.. Bannerrnan's leadership than under
that OF a more brash and sensational man, and 1t
is quite likely that shall now hear less talk
ON the part Of the government that there is NO
rffecIiNr nnnusitium.

Kipling and En- gan.
tFrom the Denver Post.)

Rudy.rd kipling said to reporter: Il an
easily excited when excited ! speak of hand,
and when / speak fi-hand am apt to say much
more than care TO stand responsible for" Nj.
Kping seems 10 be an esteemed contemporary
Of the late General Eagan.
The times., 1899-02-12

Tomorrow we may expect to hear from
Ilollo. Considering the fighting qualities
of General Miller and his two thousand
men and the power Of our naval guns. we
may count on hearing Of the surrender OF
the city, either before OF after fight.

Politics in OhiO.-In the press of other
matters the political fight that is going on
out in the Presidents State Of Ohio has,
perhaps, been overlooked for the time be-
ing by the majority of people. The con-
test, however, is getting warm and is likely
to assume national character. On the
Republican side the struggle is between the
Hanna and Foraker factions to control the
coming State convention, which will nomi-
nate a candidate for Governor. Senator
Foraker appears to be leading his colleague
in the election OF delegates, and his friends
are quite elated.l However Mr.. Hanna has
yet time to get in his work. as the conven-
ton will not meet until some time next
June. The fight is increasing in bitterness.
and conservative Republicans are afraid
that it may result in splitting up the party
to such an extent that they will lose the
State next autumn. Republican defeat
in Ohio next November would have a direct
bearing on Mr.. McKinley's prospects for a
denomination next year. There are those
who believe that it would practically take
him out of the race. The Democratic lead
ers In Ohio, it is said, intend to observe
great care in selecting their candidate for
Governor this years. as. II he should hap
pen to be elected, he would doubt
less figure as a Presidential possibility

than advertised and is an artist OF
ability. He fairly made that stick-look-
ing instrument, the clarinet. talk. The
most difficult selections were played
with remarkable accuracy and genuine
artistic feeling. More beautiful music
than that OF the clarionet under Mr..
Watson's charming manipulations is
rarely heard. The accompanist and
pianist +. 4. Patchen made warm
friends aud demonstrated that he is "a
fine musician. His touch is light and
true and no better accompanist could
be asked for by anybody. Miss Reds
humorous selections were well received.

The Clifton Public School.

We have been informed that the board of directors of the Clifton public school have under adyisement the purchase of a tract of land in North Clifton on which to construct substantial school build ing which will be commensurate with the scholastic population of this school district.
 This would be wise move on the part of the board. It is a foregone conclu- sion, judging from the growth of the town, that such move will necessarily have to be made sometime; and why not do it now? The present building is too small and is uncomfortable both in win ter and summer, and, worst of all, is only a few feet from the railroad track and right in the business center. It will be an injustice to the pupils, and also to the teachers, to longer maintain the school where it is after the close of the present term.

 Up on the Missouri side of the Missis- sippi river the natives have queer way of directing strangers to certain locations. A Keokuk man got tangled up in Clarke county, near Alexandria, recently, and accosted a nice looking old lady whom he met on the road and inquired of her the best way to reach Fox island. "You first cross the K line,' then go south across the fill, then cross Fox slough, and as soon as you come to the dyke go south along Anthony's pond to Walkers slough, then cross Fox river to Sugar creek, and after you cross Honey creek you come to Gilkenson's bridge. This will take you about two and half miles. Then go south along Hughes pond can't direct you any further, but you can
