their lines wherever possible. This and
the persistency with which Aguinaldo and
Luna have sent in the same proposition for
nm armisticc leads to the belief that the
Filipino leaders have been simply working
for time in which to collect their forces,
and to permit their soldiers to recover
from the state of Generalization in which
the repeated victories of the Americans
had thrown them. The offensive opera
tons begun by Gems. Lawton and Hale
shows that Gen. Otis shares this belief.
The news from Manila regarding the
failure Of peace negotiations came as a
surprise to the War Department. The
campaign will be pursued with the utmost
vigor, and it is not likely that the rainy

EPICRAMS BY BRYAN.

William J. Bryan has an epig1am-
matte manner of speech which rivets
attention and causes the truth of his
utterances to strike home and to re-
main in the memory.
In his recent address delivered at
the Auditorium meeting Bryan was
unusually forceful and remarkably
wise in his remarks, and the entire
speech vas mastery in its logic and
irresistible in its elequence.
In dealing with the trusts the great
Democratic leader spoke words that
cannot be forgotten, Amonn other
things he said:
The trust is bad because of the
monopoly feature. When a few PEG
pie control a product necessary to
human existence, then those few con-
troll to a large extent the lives and
happiness OF all people who produce
those articles, all who work in pro
uINlhS, anu alt "uO IhlllISh bAN law
material used in its manufacture.
Can we afford to build up in this
nation a system by which d few shall
transmit wealth from generation to
generation where the masses can only
hope for a clerkship under some
trust?
IF they say there is no way to stop
the trusts, hat the Republicans are
doing all they can, remember that it
is within the power Of the President
to appoint an attorney general who
will enforce the law against the trusts
even if he has to go out of the Repub-
lican party ts get the attorney gen
eral.
And If the law on the statute
books is insufficient, it is within the
power of the attorney general to pro,
pose laws which are sufficient, and il
the constitutions stands III the way it
is within the power Of the attorney
general to reccomene an amendment
to the constitution which will give &c
Congress power to deal with this sub.
lect.
But the Republican party is power
less to annlhilate the trusts as long as
the trusts will furnish the money tc
keep the Republican party in power.
These words should be studied
carefully by everyone who has tht
good Of the people at heart.
In them will be found the arrsign
ment of the trusts, the description O
its evils, the suggestion ofthe remedy
the impeachment Ct the Republicans
and the demonstration that the peopl,
need hope for no help from tina
party.

It wasn't Applejack.

Mr.. P. D. Tebault, superintendent
of the Maryland Telephone Company
came over from Hagerstown last Fri
day on business, and desiring to re-
turn to that place in the afternoon
hired team to take him to Keedys-
Vile to catch train. Mr.. Tebault
is a stranger in these parts, but he
thought there was river to cross, so
when the colorsd driver had gone
four or FIVE miles he inquired how far
it was to Keedysville. "Keedysvills
said the driver, why, just ahead OF
us is Shenandoah Junction. The
driver had misunderstood the destina-
ton, and they had been travelling In a
direction exactly opposite from Kee-
dysville. Mr.. Tebault said things.
Then they hurried on to the junction,
arriving Just in time to miss a train
Mr.. Tebault said some more things
A time table was consulted, and then
the horses head was turned toward
Martinsburg, which point was reached
in time to catch a Cumberland Valley
train, Mr.. Tebault finally getting tc
Haeerstown about the close of the
day.
We wish to state that Virginia ap,
plejack had nothing to do with this
episode.

A Confederate Veterans Illness.

number of years past sojourning with
the old veterans at the Confederate
Soldiers Home, Pikesville, Md, we

the Maryland General Hospital, IN
Baltimore, a victim Of acute tuber-
culosis. His friend and physician,
DR.. James G. Wiltshire, is mluisterlng
unto him, and in this he is to be con-
graduated. We are sure a word OF
sympathy or visit from his friends
in old Jefferson will be very grateful
to Captain Heiskell, now that he Is
so broken in health that he is deprived
of tn. pleasure of a visit to the people
and the places he loved so ardently.

Worthless Dogs vs.. Valuable Sheep.

E. H. Reinhart informs us that a
few nights ago dogs attacked his flock
of sheep and killed nine out OF a flock
Of fifty. Since June Of this year Mr..
Reinhart has had IS sheep killed from
his different focks by worthless dogs.
In recent letter received by the REG
lister from farmer of this county ne
says: What is to be done with the
running Of ours at large? This more
than any one thing else keeps great
many farmers from investing in and
keeping large focks Of sheep upon
their lands, which would be to them
a source of great revenue, as sheep
are decidedly more profitable than any
other live stock now raised upon the
farm. This is a serious problem, and
so important an industry should have
protection from some source.

A Barn Burner at Work.

Monday evening soon after dark a
bright light was seen south of Shop
herdstown, which proved to be burn
ing straw rick in the barnyard on the
farm occupied by John F. Melvin near
Uvilla. We learn that Mr.. Melvin s
son was setting traps for rabbits near
the barn, when he saw blaze at the
straw stack, and then a man ran
from the place. An alarm was I'M
mediately given, and Mr.. Melvin at
once ran to the fire Fortunately,
too, a number of neighbors and trave-
lers along the road saw the fire al
most as quickly as it was started, and
running quickly to the scene helped
to prevent further damage. The straw
stack was only few feet from the barn
and the hardest sort Of work was
necessary to prevent that build
ing from taking fire. Water was
handy, however, and plenty of help
on the spot, and the barn was saved,
though it narrowly escaped.
1t has been but few weeks since
the barn of J. G. Tabler, in the same
nsighborhood, was destroyed by fire
at the same hour in the evening un-
der precisely similar circumstances,
and this second attempt has strength
ened the conviction that an active
frebug is at work in that vicinity.

one could put load of buckshot into
