TO OPEN LUzoNPoRTs.
Otis Instructed TO Raise Blockade

Washington. Dec. 14.-under in.
structions sent by Secretary Root Ma
ior General Otis will garrison hemp
ports i'll the island of L,lzon and raise
the blockade as soon as the exigencies
OF the situation admit of such action.
Secretary Root said that this was in
accordance with the original plan
which had been furnished to General
Otis some time ago. 1t never had been
intended to keep the ports closed any
length of time, the object in block
aiding them being, of course, to pre-
vent munitions of war from reaching
the insurgents. The immediate effect
of the secretary's order, it is believed,
will be to cause break in the corner
in hemp which now exists.

The Great Campaign Of 1000.


The policies of the great political par
ties are now being formed and the can
didates discussed. The voice of the peo-
pie as recorded by ballot at the approach
ing presidential election will probably
decide the policy of the nation for the
next decade. Every citizen must study
the great questions that are to come be-
fore the people. This can only be done
through the medium of q great news
paper. Now is the time, therefore, for
every voter to subscribe for the best and
most reliable newspaper obtainable.
The semi-weekly Republic covers the
whole field of political news. While it
is democratic, it publishes the news in
regard to all political parties without
prejudice. Its telegraphic and cable
news service is superior to that of any
other paper. Its special features are
the best. In fact, it is the paper for that
large class of readers who cannot offord
or do not have access to the daily papers.
Attention is called to the Republics
Sunday magazine. Its half-tone illustra-
tions are alone worth the subscription
price. 1t is made up of special articles
by the best literary talent, embracing
a variety of subjects of current interest.
News features of absorbing interest are
illustrated and enlarged upon. For the
benefit of the ladies the latest fashions
are illustrated. The Republic Sunday
magazine is always interesting to every
member Of the family.
The subscription price of the semi
weekly Republic is S1.00 per year. The
Republic Sunday magazine $1.25 per
year. Both papers are now being offer
ed at the very low price Of $3.50 for one
year. To secure this low rate both must
be ordered and paid for at the same time.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Money talks, but unless you have
plenty of it, it shutters.
Every man feels more big and manly
for ten-minutes after he has succeeded
in sneezing in, deep, bass voice.
There is man in the moon and a
woman in the moon, but nobody ever
claimed there was baby in the moon
yet.
If an angel from heaven came down to
call on the average woman she would
probably begin by apologizing for not
having the winter curtains up yet.
No matter how long a man lives, he
never has quite the same respect for a
great man that he used to have for the
boy next door that could put whole
apple in his mouth without biting it.
