The Presidents Philippine Policy.

Ocean Grove, N. j., Aug. 2S.-Pres-
ident Mckinley, in speech here this
Afternoon, said:
IL believe that there is more love
for our country and more people love
the flag than ever before. Wherever
the flag is raised it stands not for des-
potism and oppression, but for liberty
and opportunity and humanity. and
what that flag has done for lis, we want
to do for all peoples and for all lands
which by the fortunes of war have come
within this jurisdiction. That flag
does not mean one thing in the United
States and another in Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
There has been some doubt in some
quarters respecting the policy of the
government in the Philippines. l see
no harm in stating it in this presence.
Peace first; then, with charity for all,
establish a government of law and
order, protecting life and property and
occupation for the we'll being of the
people who will participate in it under
the Stars and Stripes"

The Draining of Walnut Greek.

The county commissioners took no ac-
ton in regard to the petition of property
owners along Walnut creek, asking that
the county assist them in draining the
swamps and brick-holes along that
stream. 1t is probable that at the next
meeting they will appoint new COM
mission under the act passed by the
Legislature of 1895 for draining this
creek, but the county conyicts will not
be used in this work, as asked by the
petitioners.
