wnARToN's QUESTIONS.

Now we desire to ask our Populist friends
just where they would have pulled out of
that matter. Would they have sailed for
home before doing as Dewey did, or would
they have left Immediately after the annihi-
lation of the Spanish fleet? Would they
have stayed until the Spanish left the islands,
or would they have left when Aguin aldo
commenced his warfare against us? At
what particular time would they have de-
serted that part of the earth?-[ Willmar
Argus.
There has been no desire expressed
that the United States summaril9
abandon the Philippines any more
than Cuba. The evacuation could take
place whenever the war department
thought fit. But it was the absence of
the word of assurance that the islands
would eventually became free that
drove the islanders to desperate re-
sistance. Why was this assurance
withheld, Mr.. Wharton? Why not be
as frank about it as, for instance, was
Mr.. j. J. Hill, who said that we want
the Philippines because 1--WE can use
them"? Why talk about freedom -
at home, and then tell these "sullen
peoples " of the tropics to submit un-
conditionally or die? We will add a
statement made by Rev. Clay Mac
Cauley, who visited at Manila in JAN
uary last. He asserts that brave old
Admiral Dewey said to him at that
time: "Rather than make a war Of
conquest on these people, I would up
anchor and sail out of the harbor."

If man owning $2O,00O,0OO gives

gives no more proportionately than
would person possessing $4,000 who
contributes 25 cents of this am cunt to
the same end; and yet some abject
editors-who themselves, perhaps, in
a week give proportionately ten-fold
more than any of these capitalists

The tory newspapers are devoting
much editorial space to show how i'm
proper it was to apply the Declaration
of Independence to the Philippine
question in Fourth of July orations,
but on the other hand how proper and
patriotic" it was to defend the pluto
cratic game. of conquest on such oc.
casions.
Willmar tribune., 1899-07-19

Speaking of things in their ordinary
course, in country of monopoly there
can be no patriotism. There may be
a party spirit, but public spirit there
can be none. AS to spirit of liberty,
still less can it exist, or anything like
it, Edmund Burke.

Success in Business.

About the only way to make a
success in business is to do first
class work, stick at it and be salts
fed with a small margin of profit.
One may not grow rich quick in this
way, but it will last. A removal to
a new field for business will almost
invariably be found Improbable un-
less sure opening exists or meth
cd can be adopted which will bring
a rush, and then it must be handled
on business principles and honesty,
else, rocket-like, it may soar up
wards with momentary whizz and
fall as stick in the dark when the
fash is over. If through superior
business NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
in making, buying and selling-a
man in a town does big business,
he does it generally at the disad-
vantage of other people, as there.is
usually only enough trade to 60
around, and if concentrated at one
point other points must suffer.
Still business energy and alertness
are to be commended as long as
honesty and fair dealing are prac-
ticed. This will be discovered to
be essential, as the public will soon
find out and show they despise q
dishonest man and crooked ways.

LIFE FROM THE OUTSIDE.

Did it ever ooeur to you how
much more than the mere addresses

man reads-how much Of the seamy
side % life he sees? The postman
10 our district, now for example.
There is, he says, snug little house
Just round the cornor where a young
girl answers his ring. A year ago
last summer when he rang one
morning an elderly woman opened
the door. Next day and irregu.
larlp twice or thrice week for she
next two months letters came to
the young girls mother addressed
in sprawling, girlish hand and
poetmarked with the name of q
Pennsylvania mountain resort.
Then one morning the young girl
herself opened the door again and
looked disappointed when an adyer-
Using circular was all she received.
The next morning, however she
dim pied and blushcd when she saw
her own name on an envelope which
bore on one cornor the name Of q
business firm. There were two
stamps, and the postmaik was Pitts
burg. Every day after that SINH
lar letter came, and at Christmas
there was small box that came
registered. At Faster there was
another box, and on a dav in May
her birthday perhaps-another.
All this time letters came every
day.
In July two days passed without
q letter. Then the same writing
appeared on an envelope with the
name of an Atlantic City hotel on
it. The girl went away to the
springs again in August. Two At
lantic City letters arrived during
her six weeks absence. One came
with the Pittsburg postmark the
day after she returned.
Then for a month no letter came.
She opened the door eagerly every
time the postman rang, and some
times her lip quivered little when
there vas no letter for her. The
Pittsburg postmark on letter came
then-a thin letter.
And just the day before Thanks
giving the postman handed her a
thick, creamy, large envelope adj
dressed in a strange hand. The
postmark was Pittsburg. It looked
like wedding cards Perhaps it was.
The postman couldn't read what the
envelope contained of course, but
he thought he read something in the
girls face. He's an imaginative
fellow, our postman, and it seemed
cruel to him that the large envelope
with the wedding cards should
come Just the day before Thanks
giving,-Washington Post.

Story of A Slave.

To be bound hand and foot fol-
years by the chain of disease is the
worst form of slavery. George D.
Williams of Manchester, Michigan
tells how such slave was made free.
He says: "My wife has been SO help
less for FIVE years that she could
not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters,
she is wonderfully improved and
able to do her own work." This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleep,
lessness, me loncholy, headache
backache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed.

Reflections of a Bachelor

The trouble with man is that there
are women.
A man loves an ideal; a woman
idealizes love.
Ever so often woman likes to
stroke mans hair and ask him il
it rests him.
When a girl proposes to a man
she always acts as if she expected
him to apologize for it.
The best man in tie world is not
half as good as his friends think be
is, nor the worst half as bad as bis
enemies say.
When a woman says if she were
rich she would do lots OF good things
in the world, she means she would
give away her old clothes to her
poor relations.
A women can pretend to b, gay
and happy when bad husband OIL
wild son, or something like that, is
breaking her heart, but when she
has a hat on that is unbecoming
her courage wiIts.-New York
