ORDERED TO THEIR FARMS.

Manila, Oct. 5.-11:3O p. m.-Aguin-
aldo, according to report brought to
Manila today by Dominican Friar from
the north, has issued orders to the Fill
pino soldiers in the northern provinces
to return to their towns and to resume
farming
This story lacks confirmation, but the
rumor may be in accordance with Aguin-
aldo's policy of keeping the country as
productive as possible by using his mer
in alternate shifts on the farms or under
arms.
Dagupan, San Fernando and Deli
cinict, which are under the guns Of the
United States warships, are supposed to
be evacuated. 1t is alleged that the
evacuation order calls upon the male
inhabitants to be orderly i'll case of the
arrival Of the troops and expresses the
hope that the Americans will protect
the towns.

DANGEROUS MENACE.

The intimation from Washington and
from Louisville, Ky. that the governor of
Kentucky may call upon the president for
Federal troops to aid in seating Taylor.
the late gubernatorial candidate on the
republican ticket in the Blue Grass State.
is matter for serious reflection on the
part of the American people even II II
be only suggestion OF Federal interior
ence which may not be acted upon,
1t Is true that the Federal constitution
contemplates and authorizes the use of the
regular army in influencing or settling
matters OF local character only when the
governor OF a State shall have exhausted
the States power and resources unayail-
ingly in putting down riot or disorder
but OF late years this wise provision has
been more than once disregarded and the
strong hand of the general government
has been felt in directions where 1t was
not rightfully used. In a strike In the
State OF Illinois Mr.. Cleveland, 1t will be
remembered, used the army against the
strikers when the governor of the State
not only did not call for Federal aid
but actually protested against the presl-
dents action. 1t is not yet forgotten how
tho Federal troops bolstered up the rotten
carpetbag governments OF the South for
many years. We have had some informa-
tion lately also Of the high handed conduct
Of the Nations troops during the exist
snce OF labor troubles in one OF the ex-
1ame Western States.
Such experiences naturally lead the good
and honestly patriotic citizens OF this
country TO dread the very suggestion OF tn,
presence OF the Federal troops at Stat,
elections or State capitals in seasons Of
differences between the citizens OF tn,
State. The possibility Of su0h Federal In
reference is menace to the States rights
and to liberty, and the exercise OF Fedora
power under such circumstances is AWAY
step towards Capitalization. The con
stitutIonal safeguard that the regular arm,
can only be used In extreme cases upor
the call Of the governor and his comics.

The news comes from New England
that coal famine is threatened up there

UP within month and yet the coal barons
are complacently discussing the propriety
Of putting the cost TO the consumer
considerably higher.
AS an illustration of the phenomenal
and rapid increase in the consumption Of
coal 1t needs only to be stated that the
anthracite region in Pennsylvania has this
year produced about 5000 600 tons in e%-
cess OF the corresponding period last year
and yet the demand has kept the price go
ing upward, The same extraordinary con
ditions noticed in the iron and steel trades
where i, has seemed next to impossible
to meet the demands of the world, in spite
OF the greatest production ever witnessed.
appear also in the coal trade in the
East.
PROFESSIONALLY in the latter case the
"harons" have deliberately curtailed pro-
duction below the poss.b BILE output in order
to keep the price on the ascending scale,
and yet it is surmised that the greatest
possible output would be taken at price,
that would be reasonably profitable to the
big combines.
The Texas capitalist who can not set

the nationalist members of parliament was
held at the Mansion house h0re today with
the object of bringing about reunion of
the different Irish factions Timothy
Harrington presided. Only score of com.
moners were present. NJ. Healy ex-
planned the absence of John Dillon and his
followers, but he said he thought 1t was
the duty of the conference to proceed to
the consideration of the proposals of Mr..
Redmond's party and to discuss basis
for reunion. Mr.. Healy added that under
the circumstances he believed 1t was best
to re-propose the resolution adopted at
the last conference and subsequently re-
scinded, namely, that committee of this
conference be appointed to confer with
Mr.. Redmond's party with o view OF &C
complishing reunion of the Irish national
representatives.
After a discussion, in which Arthur
O'Connor declared that thu proposed or
any other committee should be appointed

rule should be the main object in and out

the love for the beautiful, and the exhibit
deserves the hearty approval OF every citi-
zen of the State.
Nacogdoches Phone: The management
of the Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Fes-

exhibit on that occasion. This county

to the regular display OF products of the
fields. gardens and orchards, there will be
an immense annex for the exhibition of
live stock, agricultural implements, etc.
The festival has simply outgrown all cal

are demanded to meet the needs of the
South Texas fair in the broader scope
which the enterprising people OF Houston

miums for everything, and the biggest
crowds that ever attended the Bayou Citys

s,on Of the States inability to prevent
trouble. Is no safeguard at all when the
constitution Is falling into disrepute and
powerful party Of the Nation is exclaim-
ing that I'VE have outgrown' that ought
to-be sacred charter OF our liberties! Then
again an INSCRIPTIONS or bitterly partisan
governor has 1t 10 his power to attempt
any kind OF political usurpation and upon
its being resisted by the citizens OF his
state seek and. II the administration at
Washington be OF his party faith, obtain
the outside force with which to override
the rights or sentiment OF possibly ma
jority OF the people OF his State.
1t is for reasons Of this character that
a large standing army In this country
would inevitably become In the bitterness
and recklessness of partisan politics a d.
rect menace to States rights and the in
tegrity OF our republican institutions. The
excuses and facilities for Illegally and OPP
pressively using such an army, by bold
and ambitious president, with partisan
lieutenants occupying gubernatorial chairs
throughout the country, are SO many and
so easy that those who laugh at the popu-
lar apprehensions from the existence OF a
large army either laugh through dense ig-
norance or wicked designs.
The governor OF Kentucky may not call
for Federal aid; Mr.. Mckinley may refuse
1t II called for. but the bare suggestion
that such move is contemplated. opens
to us a broad view OF the possibilities OF
partisan aggression in this country when
backed by a big standing army.
