Buffalo Express At the outbreak OF the
Filipino war suggestions that 1t would re-
quire 100000 men were generally classed
among these "treasonable" utterances OF
the anti-imperiallsts
New York World. Dr. McQueston. late Of
General OTIS stan and health ofrlccr at
Manila, says that the western volunteers
are ''the finest soldiers in the world but
they all want to return home" And the
reason he gives is this THE men enlisted
to fight for their country and they are not
the kind OF men who want to stay and fight
an insurrecton for money or the fun Of
hghtlng"
Chicago Chronicle: For once in his life
the Honorable John Barrett, eN-minster to
Slam and eXpansionist extraordinary is en-.
tirely right. In few years he declares,
the United States can invest $500, 900 600 in
the Philippine Islands" The Honorable
John Barrett never spoke trucr words The
United States are already investing about
S5,000,O00 per month in the locality iud-
Gated. to say nothing OF sending there some
$4,000 soldiers. most of whom, from the
present outlook, will remain permanently.
We can undoubtedly invest $500 900 600 as
Mr.. Barrett, says The trouble is that the
investment will be entirely unproductive Of
returns.
San Francisco Call: 1t is time to do one
thing or the other. Either send 100 600 men
at once and hesom the Islands bare OF
human life, or do what was easy nve months
ago-treat them as human beings. cease the
reiteretion OF unconditional surrender TO
a people who know that we are already dis
arming Cuba and see whether the orders We
have taken from Great Britain to never
treat the Filipino as human are correct or
Tl,, lntt
Then the former must be- The troops must
be raised and sent. II they will not volun-
teer they must be conscrpted. The ranks
must be filled by force II need be and We
must push our conquest as all conQuerors
have to- 1t is evident that We must reduce
the archipelago to complete desolatlon and
leave only the inferior manhood living that
is found among the tribes that are too
cowardly to fight.
Philadelphia Ledger The words of DR..
McQueston are those OF man who has had
abundant opportunities for carefully study
ing the situation in the Philippine islands
and they should carry weight with the au-
thorities at Washington. 1t has heen almost
universally felt for some time by the people
that the force now in the islands is totally
inadequate 10 crush the rebellion and re-
store order and the words OF DR.. McQues-
ton fully confirm that feeling. The Fill
pinos have shown themselves to have Won
derful recuperative powers and are not TO be
despised as opponents and unless large
number of troops are sent at once, as the
doctor has suggested it would not he at
all surprising to find his words come true
and our army subjected to the humiliation
of being besieged in the city of Manila by
the natives. Under the circumstances 1t is
not at all an astonishing thought that the
volunteers now in the Philippines all want
to come home and the prospect OF a bounty
has no charms for them.

Dismayed by the inroads which American
enterprise has made upon what have been
supposed to be British industrial "pre-
serves" for many year, some of the busi-
ness circles in England have ceased talking
about an alliance with America, and have
taken up instead the desirablity of forming
some kind of an agreement to protect" the
home industries of Britain. The old style
commercial traveller, or bagman, has been
distanced altogether, not in Great Britain
only, but on the continent, by the eager
and pushing American drummer" They
get big orders in England, as well as from
customers in Germany and Russia whom
manufacturing houses in Great Britain have
long counted upon as their own. Truly
American trade is expanding. and new con-
quests in industry abroad are made nearly
every day by the quick marching forces led
by the American drummer.

Patrons of The Bee yesterday had the
privilege of reading several important
pieces of news which they could find in
no other paper. Among them We're the
outline of the proposed big canal and
power plant for Omaha, the declaration
of another dividend to Transmississippi
Exposition stockholders, the report of
the populist mass-meeting to protest
against the displacement of populist
otticeholders for the benefit of demo
cratic place seekers and SO on. IF you

NTeIe NIUtIIt.
The World Herald has commenced feec-
ing the plain common people again for the
snews of war for the campaign of 1900 1t
says that the republicans will get all the
money they want from the millionaires and
that the democrats must secure their funds
from the millions. 1t Is pity about their
poverty. When the free silver craze was on
tap they had to squeeze campaign funds out
of those poor decrepit silver kings of the
mountain states. Helena, Mont, has more
millionaires than any city of its size in the
whole world, and Senator Clarke, another of
the poor, plain people, is said to be the
wealthiest man in the world But the World
Herald, Coin Harvey, Altgeld Sewall and
Bryan will work the plain common people
to the queens taste all the same.

While the Commercial club is bending
its energies to promote the establish
ment of new manufacturing industries
in Omaha 1t may not be out of order to
suggest to members of the Commercial

and support industries already at
Omaha. If omaha merchants and con
sumers could only be persuaded to give
preference to Omaha made wares

THE SHADOWS.

Frank Dompster Sherman.
All up and down In shadow town
The shadow children go;
In every street you're sure to meet
Them running to and fro.
They move around without a sound,
They play at hide-and-seek
But no one yet that | have met
Has ever heard them speak.
Beneath the tree you often see
Them dancing in and ont,
And In the sun there's always one
To follow you about.
Go where you will, he follows still,
or sometimes runs before,
And, home at last yOull find him fast
Beside you at the door.
A faithful friend is he to lend
His presence everywhere;
Blow out the light--to bed at night
Your shadow mate is there!
Then he will call the shadows all
Into your room to leap.
And such a pack they make 1t black,
And fiji your eyes with sleep!

Iowa is likely to take the place OF

congressional delegation. Senator Allison

Henderson, as speaker, Iowa will have on

He then told his story For ten years he
had been orderly for the young army officer;
lived right by his side in his family, and
followed him wherever he went That morn
ing he was twenty feet behind the brave
colonel, hobbling along as fast as his old,
unsteady legs would carry him, when he saw
Stotsenberg fall. Some of the soldiers saw
it, too, but before they could reach their
leader old Chris ellison had fallen on his
knees by his side, crying like a child. IL
was too plain that death was there, The
old man knelt and sobbed until the dead
colonel was borne to the rear and then
followed the sad procession with look of
deepest despair on his face. He remained
by the body until it was taken to Manila
and prepared for shipment. 1t was difficult
to say whether the heartbroken wife or
faithful old soldier suffered most.
"Gilson is the unique character of the
Eighth army corps. He is soldier by pro-
fession and for life, which alone is not singu-
lar, for there are others Of the same kind to
be found in the troops here, but the range
OF his experiences and the pertinacity with
which he follows danger gives the distinc-
tion. He was a soldier at Vancouver in sy2
while U. S. Grant was there as a second
lieutenant. He went east in 50, fighting for
while along the Mississippi and later in
the army OF the Potomac. He was in Pea
Ridge and Cornth. At Fair Oaks he took
part in cavalry charge that nearly cost
him his life. The great scar on his cheek Is
he mark Of a rebel blade received in that
fight. In the same charge his right hand
was nearly severed and two ribs were
t~rken, ugly evidence of which still exists
He was in every Indian war of the west
after the civil war that he could get in,
closing this work in the campaign against
Geronimo under General Lawton, now COM
manding the First division, operating
against Agunaldo. He went with an ex-
ploring party all through Alaska in the early
days aiding the government surveys and
mapping work. For the last ten years prior
to the Spanish war he was the devoted
orderly OF Lieutenant Stotsenberg, going
with him to Lincoln, Neb., where the lieu
tenant had charge OF military instructions
and was later promoted to a captaincy
When the captain was made a major in the

A letter from Manila printed in the Kan
sas City Star tenderly sketched the sad
scenes witnessed at Malolos when the bodies
of Colonel stotsenberg and Lieutenant Sis
son were brought in from the battlefield,
and incidentally tells OF the soldierly ca
reer of the colonels faithful orderly, Chris
ellison. The bodies were laid out on a
rough low benoh by the depot" says the
writer. THE slightly built colonel and the
splendid form of his lieutenant, each with
a tiny red spot over the heart were eyed
by hundreds of passing soldiers. One Ne
braska soldier would come up, take look
and turn away with a tear on his cheek
and fierce look in the eye. Another would
gaze at his dead leader unaffected and criti-
else him for rashness in leading men where
they must die.
when the crowd had thinned to scatter
ing spectators there was an old man, with
bent shoulders, weather beaten, SCARED

and stand there in reverent grief. II he sus-

been watched he brushed the water from
his eyes and calmly gazing on the dead
colonel, said:
