Washington. Feb. 16.-The house yes

fusing to override the decision OF the

In the senate yesterday Mr. McEn-
cry, of Louisiana as a question of
personal privilege, made emphatic de-
nial of the statement that his resolu-
tion adopted by the senate on Tuesday
was introduced I'm the interest Of sugar
growers of Louisiana. He said that he
had not consulted the planters about the
resolution, and that as a matter of
fact they We're known to be opposed as
a body to the ratification Of the peace
treaty. The McEnery resolution de-
clares that "it is not intended to incor-
porate the inhabitants of the Philippine
islands into citizenship Of the United
States, ROr is Il intended TO permanent
ly annex the islands, but it is the in
tention of the United States to estab-
lsh on the said islands a government
suitable to the wants and conditions
Of the inhabitants of said islands to
prepare them for local self govern
ment."

citation" Of congress TO Miss Helen Mil

WHEN a man intends to spend
money in advertising he should see to
it that he invests it where he will get
his own back and with interest. Ad-
vertisers who think for themselves,
who have studied advertising up to
date will not throw away money on
so-called cheap adyertising-which is
usually poor, that is, worthless in
yestment We believe, after a close
study of many years, that advertising
pays. 1t pays better than any other
form of legitimate investment. But
cheap" advertising never pays, as
every live business man knows.

habit that is universally INDUCED in and
almost as universally injurious. Have you
tried Grain-O? 1t is almost like coffee but
the effects are just the opposite. Coffee
upsets the stomach, ruins the digestion,
effects the heart and disturbs the whole

NEXT Tuesday is election. The
Citizens party has nominated eXcep-
tiunally strong candidates, and the
administration of the borough affairs
by tnat party in the past is so far
superior to the acknowledged incom-
potency of the Democracy, that the
voters generally would be derelict in
their duties were they to vote to con
tinue that state of affairs.

The report of the condition Of the
two national banks in this town.
made to the Secretary Of the Cur
reney on the 4th inst, shows that
about half million dollars of idle
money is in the vaults of these insti-
tutions The banks are not respon-
sible for this; in fact, they would
profit more were the money invested
in several paying industries. There is
no good reason why this money
should not be put into circulation for
the advancement and improvement
of Shenandoah. The money would
earn more if invested in some live,
honest manufacturing concern.

only witnesses examined in the Adams
inquest yesterday. DR.. Hitchcock at

GOVERNMENT AID TO SPEcU.
LATORS.

From the Sioux Falls Daily Press:
The administration has converted the
department hitherto known as the
treasury department into q sort of
cheap bureau for the assistance and
immediate relief of the stock brokers
and speculative plungers Of Wall
street.
A few days ago an appeal came from
Wall street for help. The report was
that money was scarce and speculat-
ors were compelled to pay high rates
for its use. Investigation followed. 1t
was given out with authority In Wash
ington that the investigation showed
that the shortage Of money was only
apparent. There was money enough
for all legitimate business. Persons
able to give good security could get
all the cash needed at reasonable
rates. The stringency was in the pure
ly speculative circles, Long time loans
were easy; call loans hard. Banks
had quit letting the trust promoters
play with. Hence no relief would be
given by the government. 1t was also
said that there was no danger of a
panic in business circles In the West
where the crops were good and had an
all-controling influence.
But alas and alack; the excuse had
not been fairly digested before Gage
sends out a notice Offering to buy
bonds at current rates to supply the
New Workers with ready money and
relieve the strain. And the brokers
are selling bonds to get cash with
which to continue their speculations.
The United States furnishes the
money.
Since the administration had de-
clared that there was no stringency
in legitimate trade, 1t follows that the
relief offered is to the plungers and
spectators. They alone were clam
oring for more money. Trust promo
ton had used up the ready cash and
the trust promoters wanted more.
They are getting It, Uncle Sam pays
the bill.
Does anybody suppose that II the
farmers or laboring men or any other
class Of American citizens engaged in
legitimate industry had appealed for
aid to the treasury department, Gage
would have responded with millions
of the peoples money? Oh, no. The
first aid offered is for the spectators
only. This is their administration.
They pull the strings.

Tho Anu-ImpOrlallss Conference.

Self-government rather than good
government! That was the keynote
Of the conference. The sentiment IA
profoundly true. It touches the depths
Of political morality. Not that good
government is to be despised, or re.
garded with indifference, or even with
secondary concern. Good government
is among the highest of human aspira-
tons. Politically speaking, 1t is the
very highest. But no government 9TH
err than self-government can by any
possibility be or ever become good. 1t
may be stable-as stable as the gov
eminent Of the car. It may be peace
ful--as peaceful as the government of
prison. 1t may be good government
In the estimation of the privileged
classes, But 1t cannot be good in the
only sense in which unselflsh and truly
religious and patriotic men have

Polxgamx and Polygamy.

The Christian women OF the United
States are in arms against the admis-
sion of the member-elect from Utah,
Mr.. Roberts, to seat in congress, The
objection urged is that he has a plu-
rality Of wives; that he is guilty Of
polygamy. Under the laws Of the
United States polygamy cannot exist
in any state or territory. Polygamy
exists over the entire Sulu group. Sui
tan and slave practice 1t. Why are
these horrible conditions permitted in
possessions of the United States? Why
get shocked at a single instance in this
country when thousands and tens Of
thousands are practlcing It in Sulu un-
der the approval and protection of the
United States--Cincinnati Enquirer.

right to call government good. New
York In the worst days of Tweed was
better governed than Warsaw in the
best days Of the order that reigned
there. BY its keynote sentiment the
antl-imperial conference justified It,
self. And, inspired by the profound
sense Of liberty, equality and justice
which characterized its proceedings
throughout, that conference has placed
the anti-lmperialist movement as sure
ly In the line of succession to the abo-
lition movement Of the 40s as the
abolition movement was placed in the
line of succession to the liberty move
ment of the previous century.

The Farmer n Loser

An interesting table has been pre-
pared by the Democrat, of Bowling
Green, Ohio, which is rich in its con-
trasts, 1t goes to show that this
much-vaunted Mckinley prosperity"
is prosperity for the trusts and for no.
body else-certainly not for farmers.
The Democrat advises readers to take
no PERSONS word, not even its own, for
these figures, but to inquire of local
merchants whether or not they are
correct. AS the Democrat presents the
figures they read as follows:
