Washington, June 13.-The President
has decided to send the Twenty-fourth
and Twenty regiments of infantry
to the Philippines. Both are colored
regiments and rendered conspicuouSly
gallant service in the Santiago cam
paign. They are hardy soldiers, and it
is believed will be able to withstand the
hardships of a campaign in the tropics
better than the white troops.
Great reliance is placed on the Twen-
ty-fourth and Twenty-tifth infantry, as
they can probably stand the climatic
conditions nearly as well as the natives.
Acting Secretary Meilklejohn to-day
issued the formal order for the two
regiments, excepting one major and
four companies of each, to assemble at
San Francisco and prepare for duty in
the Philippines.

If the matter commends itself to your

Mr.. Roberts, it seems, has at least
three wives, and, advocating and prac-

not, we women think, be allowed to
have seat in the highest law-making
body of our land. We realize that
what we think can not carry the weight

tions from voters would have, and we
earnestly hope that men who sympa-
thize with the movement will be will

part in any political question, but this

home and of women throughout the
country, and | am glad to use the little
influence for what | believe to be a
righteous cause. | trust you will par
don me for troubling you, but you sol
diers have been so good to me an

area of wheat sown last fall was 5000,

the plant is securing good root, and the
fields have fair stand. The estimated

A HARD SLAP AT BOSSlSM.
HANNA GETS A SINGING REBUKE
IN HIS OWN COUNTY.
Cuyshoga Gives Jones I5,o36 Ma.
jority.

The full returns of the Election show
that in Hanna's own county, Cuyahoga,
where his money, his personal influ
ence, and the patronage of the Admin
istration were exerted in behalf of his
ticket, he was most signally rebuked.
Jones was made the candidate of
Republicans and Democrats who want
ed to rebuke Boss Hanna and Boss
Mclean, and as result Jones carried
the county by majority of 7,64S over
both Nash and Mclean, and had ma
jority of Is, 036 over Nash
Never was such stinging rebuke
given to any party leader in Ohio.
More than one fourth of the Republi-
cans who voted for Guilbert, the Re-
publican candidate for State Auditor,
refused to vote for Nash. because he
was recognized as Hanna's candidate,
and voted for Jones. Guilbert's vote was
1867 greater than the vote of Nash.
With the Democrats, it was even worse,
there being s, 756 of those who voted
for their candidate for Auditor of State
who refused to vote for Mclean, and
voted for Jones.
But this leaves 19, 551 votes that were
cast for Jones, still unaccounted for.
These must have come from the 3, 072 Re-
publicans and 11,039 Democrats who
voted for Governor in 1897, but didn't
vote for anything but Governor, last
Tuesday. Adding these 3,072 Repub
| licans who didn't vote the Republican
ticket at all, this year, to the 1856,
who voted for Guilbert and wouldn't
vote for Nash, we have 11,059 Repub
licans in the county who refused to
vote for Hanna's candidate. Thus
more than one third of the Repub
licans refused to submit to party boss
| ism!
The Democratic revolt is equally
strong-over third of the party refus
| Ing to submit to the bossism of Mclean
| There ought to be lesson in this
| for Mr.. Hanna, and he should haster
to free Mckinley from his heavy handi-
cap.
1t is not strange that there should
be snch result in Cuyahoga. Hanna
has shown himself a bolter on severa
occasions. Last Spring he assisted il
defeating McKisson, the regularly
nominated candidate for Mayor, ant
thus secured the election of Democra
for Mayor, who threw thousands of Re
publicans out Of positions and work
ard he thus set the pace for Republican
boiling.
If this election does not teach les
son, the party may have to learn it
when the results will be much NOR,
disastrous.
Let the grand old Republican part.
lrepudiate bossism and throttle trusts
and nothing can prevent its triumph
for years. But people will not be boss
