Aguinaldo is engaged in the same
game that many of our politicians are
playing trying to pick Philippine
plum for himself.
There are persons who are in doubt
OF the benefit of Gen. Wood, who has
so successfully governed the Santiago
district, on his own judgement, of the
presence of the legal adviser who has
been assigned him by the administration.
His common sense has advised him all
right.
Nobody can truthfully charge Sena-
tor Quay with being quitter, although
he has been charged with about every
thing else disreputable.
If Representative elect Roberts, of
Utah, should be denied a seat in next
Congress, he can doubtless utilize the
enormous lot of free advertising he is
getting by taking his three wives on
lecture tour, and making barrel or
two of money. Curiosity to see the
family would crowd every hall they
appeared in.
Rivalry among milliOnaires appears
to be gradually raising the price of
seats in the U. S. Senate.
Engiishmen are putting considerable
money into Cripple Greek Mines,
which we hope will bring them better
returns than some American mines
they have invested in.
The House, in its discussion of the
bill to increase the regular army, not
only fought the Spanish war over
again, but fought wars yet unheard of.
1t seems perfectly safe to charge
bribery in every legislature in which
there is a doubtful contest over the

Prof, Short may be right in his pre-
dictiOn that electric passenger trains
will be run at speed Of 175 miles an
hour, but we know at least one man
who will refuse to be carried that fast,
even on pass.
We are striking another centennial
period. The first of the celebrations to
be pulled off will be at Washington, next
May, which will last three days. Ohio
is preparing for a six months cele-
bration, at Toleda, in 1902 or 3.
1t is said that newspaper talk about
"embalmed beef has greatly de-
creased the sale of refrigerated beef,
which is not surprising.
Eagan's court-martial is a good thing
for decency in the army, and we trust
that the President will not spoil the
effect by tightening the punishment
too much.

Wilmington is making more progress
just now than it has ever done in the
past ten years, and one significant fact
that points to the truth of this asser-
ton is the value of the building per-
mits issued within the past six months.
Building Inspector Cassidy reports
this amount at 1922, ,s74, or nearly half
a million of dollars.

ChaInberlain's Cough Remedy

There are no better medicines on the

Crows.

There is some reason for calling an
owl the bird of wisdom, and yet there
is cause for wondering if the crow is
not mentally his superior. Crows are
not disheartened by the gloom of late
autumn. If the fog is too dense to fly
through it, they rise above it or trot
about the ground, discussing the situa-
tion with their fellows. Is this speak
ing too positively? / have long been
familiar with an observing man who
has lived all his days within sight and
hearing of crows He claims to under
stand their language and can repeat the
words" that make up their vocabulary.
Certainly crows seem to talk, but do
they? Does certain sound made by
them have always the one significance?
Year after year l have listened and
watched, watched and listened, and
wondered if my friend was right. He
believes it. / believe it-almost. Are
there limitations to ornithological in

The oI.ettcr Gnc."

The leader Of psalmody. or precentor,
in the church of Scotland used to read
from his desk in front of the pulpit the
successive lines for congregational sing
ing. He was the 'letter gael. e., he
that let go or started the praise-and
his desk was called the "letteron" dec
trinum). Pitching his voice to the first
note of each line, he proceeded to chant
the words in a slow, drawling mono
tone, prolonging the last syllable for a
little and then breaking at the head of
the congregation into the music set to
the words thus delivered The effect of
this would no doubt be frequently more
curious and entertaining than edifying
and solemn, and strange developments
must occasionally have occurred. The
position tested not only the musical
qualifications, but also the literary at
tainments of the leader. and there are
passages in the metrical version of the
Psalms as used in Scotland which must
have put rural precentors on their met
tle.--Notes and Queries

ington Just now is hive of political
industry. The Arlington hotel is one
Of the leading centers of political ac-
tivity, and one cannot enter the lobby
Of that hostelry of an evening without
seeing in one corner or another small
groups of prominent figures in the Re-
publican party engaged in serious and
Garment consultation. Two OF the
greatest questions that are receiving
the attention of these men are who
shall be McKinley's running mate next
year, and shall the ticket be nomi-
mated by acclamation.
In the light of information that has
been gathered from contact with lead
ers in politics it may be stated almost
without qualification that the Repub-
lican national ticket next year will be
Mckinley and Root. That Mr.. Root Is
willing to go on the ticket with Mr.
Mckinley there is not the slightest
doubt
AS to the matter of nominating the
entire ticket by acclamation, there is
reason to believe that the next Re
publican convention will establish
such a precedent. Senator Hanna has
conceived the idea, and it is remark
able how favorably It is being received
In all probability the Republican
convention will be held the second
week of June. It seems to be agreed
that the convention will go to Chicago
or Philadelphia. New York is alsC
after it, as is St. Louis.

NOTHING BUT FACTS.
No Deception Used In Talking About
MOrrOw'S Kid-ne-Oi
The Arguments in Their Favor Come
From People Who Have Tested
Their Merits.

There is no deception in anything we
publish about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. All
our statements are facts and arc from people
right here in Pennsylvania
People in all walks Of life are using and
recommending Kid -ne-oids because they cure
backache, nervousness, sleeplessness and
general debility in cases where other remedies
have failed.

says 81 was troubled with disordered ki ii-
neys and suffered greatly with severe aching
and at times very sharp pains across the small

Morrow's Kid-ne oids and as they were

to try them. Since taking Kid ne.ods
have not been troubled with any more pains.

sihIev,s Change of Faith.

Mr.. Sibley, former apostle of free
silver, and idol of the Bryan followers
in this state, has changed his views
on the financial question and is now
in accord with Republican doctrines.
He says, in an authorized interview,
that his direful predictions in 1896
have failed, and that the gold stand
ard and William Mckinley brought
prosperity to the whole country,
which in his opinion is permanent.
Mr.. Sibley's change of attitude may
be better appreciated when it is real
lied that he was the favorite Eastern
candidate of the silver wing of the
Democratic party for the Presidential
nomination in 1896, and that he could
have been nominated for Vice-Presi-
dent if he would have consented to
become candidate.
Speaking of his unfulflled predic-
tions he said "Bimetalism was liv-
ing issue in 1896, but the conditions
have changed. In that year l pub
licIy predicted that if Mckinley and
the gold standard were successful
prices would fall, with a correspond
ing increase in the purchasing power
of the gold dollar and we would have
an era of hard times and commercial
depression such as this country has
seldom witnessed.
Now look around me and l see
the forges blazing, the fires lighted in
all the furnaces, the shuttles weaving
and the looms spinning; every man
who has a days labor to sell finding a
ready market for it; our ships loaded
to the Plymsoll line with exports
bound for all parts of the world, and
everywhere plenty and prosperity.
And so it occurs to me that somebody
must have been mistaken, and per
haps that fellow was me.
Witnessing, as we do, a revenue
coming to the government sufficient
to overcome the deficit and promise a
surplus, with every industry actively
and profitably engaged, with every
ldn cinplOJCO NhO 0CNh9 ChpAD1
ment, the overshadowing issue is
whether we shall so wisely conduct
ourselves as not to disturb this pros
porous condition. 1t would, perhaps,
be better if Congress simply does
nothing but pass the appropriation
bills and adjourns without expert
menting with any theories that may
return us to the souphouse period.

want to contribute to the soup
houses. Not because l object to con
tribute to the soup houses. Not be.
cause object to contributing, but
because / want always to see pros
perity, happy homes and smiling
faces
Mr.. Sibley then proceeds to show
that the prosperity is permanent, and
says that the man who cannot see il
is blind. How unlike are those senti
ments to the "calamity bowling" edi
tors. He says that unless the Demo
Gratis modify their present attitude
the question is as good as settled al
ready in favor of McKinley's elec
tion.

Austin, Tex, Dec 13.-informatlon
reaching here today is to the effect
that on Dec. 3 the Yaqui Indians and
the Mexican forces under General Tor

the Yaqui river. The engagement was
between the main body of Indians and
Mexican forces numbering 1000
About ten days previous several bands
of rowing Yaquis who had been out on
securing expeditions and depredatinp
tours began gathering at the main
camp of the Yaquis, located in the
mountains on the Paphigochlc river
The Mexican troops attempted to head
them off, but we're unsuccessful and IN
a short time they Joined the main body
of the Indians. Evidently fearing that
the troops we're preparing to invade
their camps the Indians pushed the
fighting themselves.
The onslaught was vigorous, but moi
effective, as the Indians did not ad
vance in solid body, preferring theii
old warfare from behind boulders anC
trees, the fighting lasting for a day ant
night, when the Indians withdrew
having sustained considerable loss
The militia made several attempts
| to dislodge the Indians from their re
treat in the rough, woody country
without success, and upon each deplo!
the soldiers lost quite a number o
men killed and wounded. The soldier
report that they observed a number o
squaws fighting among the bucks.
