Patronize Home Merchants.

A grocer peddler has been do- ing this.community lately, and has roun ded in a good many dollars that of right should have gone to our home merchants. People who buy from peddlers certainly do not think of the principle in : volved. Merchants who buy your produce, lend you credit when desired and keep what you want at all times, is justly due your patronage. He pays taxes to keep up the schools, helps build up society and churches, and is a general public benefactor, while the peddleris an irresponsibleper- son representing an irresponsible concern, and if you don't get beat the first dash out of the box, it s a mere accident. It is unreasona- ble to suppose that S man can canvass d community taking only small orders, then go back over the same ground to deliver, and sell any cheaper than our mer- chants can sell. Help your home merchants, help yourself, and help the community in which you reside, by buying everything you need that you can get from the home merchants.

Itis very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting. the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dairyman called at drug store there for doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought bottle of Chamberlain s cough remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, MT. Otto Scholz, says tie family has since recommended Cham berlain,s cough remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has constant demand for it frem that part of the country.

HOW THEY LOOK UPON TT.
Green Forest Citizens Interview
 ed on the Special Act.

THE TRIBUNE has taken occas- sion to consult the citizens of our
 town relative their views upon the special act of the legislature that prohibits CD the sale..of liquor
 within five miles of the city of Green Forest.
 A few didn't care to give public utterance to their idea on the question, but generally a frank, pointed answer was given, and it will be seen that an overwhelm- ing majority indorse the position ! taken by THE TRIBUNE last week. \ Here is what they said: Dr. Harbert-Better have 6open saloons Let the state law N have it's course. l am opposed to special acts of any sort. 6 A. B. Reser-I am for saloons. gsNo need for such law, and it < should be repealed.
 VI G. M. File-THE TRIBUNE ex-
 pressed my sentiments exactly. @@The law ought to be repealed. % T. l.. Plummer-I am in favor
 of the repeal of the law. If the speople of the town desire saloons, Vet us have them.
 S A. Blasingame-I am in favor sAof selling whisky through open Adoors. The law should be repeal aed. This is my honest conclu-
 sion after having given the mat INer considerable thought. & Ed Puckett-We might just as
 well have saloons as the way it lis. I would favor the law as it is if it was enforced.
 IA D. c. Bailey-Put me down in
 flavor of saloons.
 G. R. Blasingame-I am in fa- sSyor of repeating the special act.
 People who want whiskey
 get it at Berryville and other
 places, and we get no benefit of \ the revenue.
 2 H. Stacy-I am bitterly oppos-
 ed to whiskey in any form. l
 know the whisky business is bad lyhandled here. I favor the law
 as it now stands.
 .sJ. H. Ramsey-Individually
 speaking, I am in favor of the law, but if a majority say So.
 repeal the law and give us open saloons.
 gE. Wise-Saloons would be
 much preferable to present con-
 didons. There is no way to keep
 whiskey out, so let us handle it lawfully and get the revenue.
 Judge Butt-The special act isn't doing any good so far as !prohibition is concerned. I am,
 however, opposed to whiskey in l any form, and would wipe it out ofexistence, if I could.
 RI. o. Walker-I was in favor of S the law, but am convinced it is
 not the right thing. I believe it
 would be good thing for the
 town to have open saloons.
 Pr. Molloy-I am opposed to
 whaskey in any shape, manner or f0rn. Better keep the law and e75fQrce it as it new lands.
 FIT. Ora btree-I am a teetotaler, } aler used whisky as bever- 8h my life, but am not in
 faY0r of such law as you have ther& Saloons would be a great X sositee of revenue, and if ma- .jorit# of the people vote for
 AceIlee they should have it. ,l F' Rudd-I hate to say any D thlnE that could be construed as favokable to w1aislxey, but think Sa GflG 4HW ;S a D1liCaDon and ShOllld

in favor of open saloons, if a ma jority favor it. A saloon would be good thing for the town.
 Bert Greene-Evil grows out of whiskey the best can be done with it, but it is better to put the handling of it under the protec- tion of law and get the revenue. A saloon would be great draw ing card in Green Forest now.
 G. s. Firestone-I am an ad- vocate of high license and en- forcement of the law. I endorse THE TRIBUNE's position on this question.
 H. M. Foster-I heartily en- dorse what THE TRIBUNE said on the question. I am not a saloon visitor, but they are more accept able than blind tigers.
 w. T. Gray-I am strictly favorable to open saloons in Green Forest. It twould be great thing for our town treasury and would bring lots of trade here.
 A. J. Taber-Saloons are not desirable from moral stand point, but they would be prefer able to the present condition. I would favor repeal of the law.
 J. c. Bower-I haven't given the question much thought. I am against whiskey, but would not oppose the will of the major ity regarding saloons. There is sufficient protection of the state law.
 Dr. Poynor-I am in favor of boot-leggers, blind tigers and anything else before open sa- looms. l am for enforcing the law as it now stands.
 l.. E. Harbert-I am in favor of the law. Let it stand as it is.
 J. s. Nichols-I have no special liking for saloon, but I believe they would be a great help to the town.
 w. T. Carter-Countm me among those who favor saloons.
 Prof. Burney-Like every other man who prefers soberness and decency, to drunkenness and imaginary dimes, l am opposed to it's repeal. The following are a few of the many facts on which my opposition is based. Its repeal would immediately be followed by one or more saloons here, and I am opposed to sa- lOOil IlCIO. DCCouoC IL WQuid keep all migrants of good morals, and with money enough to locate where he wishes from locating here; while it would bring migrants of bad morals some of whom, sooner or later we would have to support by charity or at the poor house. 3 Because it would put our town in debt and increase the debt of the county. It is the history of saloons that the cost of prosecutions resulting from them always exceeds the revenue obtained from license. 3 Because a saloon would daily and nightly disturb the peace and quiet and innocence of the town. 4 Because a saloon is always ac- companied by gambling and lewd women. The three go hand lin hand the world over. 5 Because a saloon will bring rags and many a hungry day to children in and near Green Forest, who are now comfortably clothed and fed. 6 Because it will bring many a cloud and heart ache and curse and blow to wives who are now enthroned as queens of happy households. ' Because it will bring ruin, temporal and eternal, to very large number of Carroll county's brightest and most promising boys. Possibly your boy, and my boy among the

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
M. B. Russell Remem bers Our Readers with Another Letter.

PENERANDA, Philippine Islands.
 January 12, 1900.
 DEAR TRIBUNE READERs-Since my last letter there has been 8 government post established at this place, and Go. I, under command of Maj. Joe Wheeler, Jr., and Adjutant H. A. Barnes, has been assigned to garrison the post.
 The boys are all in reasonably good spirits, but we have several sick at present, most of them suffering from chills and fever.
 While we did not come here for the purpose of doing garri- son duty, yet we appreciate the opportunity of taking a much needed rest. Our service con- sists of guard and patrol duty. Although we have not had the opportunity of engaging in as many fights as some of the other regiments, yet we have been given credit by Gen. Otis of hav- ing seen harder service for the time engaged than any other regiment on the Island. We made the longest force march that had ever been attempted by any regiment in the service. It is a fact that the 34th covered territory in Gen. Law ton's recent advance that other regiments attempted and turned back, saying 1t was impossible to penetrate it on account of high water, mud, and impos sible to transfer rations through the woods.
 We made this march without rations being furnished by the government, depending entirely on foraging for our existence, and we were not permitted to see a single insurgent during this con- tinuous march of seventeen days. The boys discarded their blank cts and extra clothes; in fact. we carried nothing save our cups and plates, guns and 150 rounds of ammunition. During the march we were named the Hiking 34th." Gen. Lawton said of US that we out-marched any other regiment that he ever had in' command. l must say
 feel the loss of this b~
 mander, realizing &e.-

 Gen. Funston of Both Kansas fame is now commanding our division. Everything is moving along fine now. As soon as a. C town is taken the natives resume their various avocations and at once prepare themselves to meet the demands of the American soldier.
 am now of the opinion that the war is practically at an end. Of course, it looked discouraging to me at first as the insurgents were so hard to find, but they have either fled the country or accepted peace conditions and things have begun to assume prosperous condition. The na~ tives are fast becoming Ameri- nanized, and under the present management of affairs this coun- try will soon be 8 most valuable adjunct to our territory. Maj. Joseph Wheelea. Jr., our battalion commander, has won for himself the esteem and respect of every man under him. He deserves promation and we hone to see him getit.

Japan's Navy.

Japan has made her debut as a
builder of ocean liners, and the fact
is highly significant. It shows that
she is grasping the true meaning of
maritime empire. The idea that has
animated her statesmen is many
sided, but consistent. She has not
aspired to have a navy merely, but
also a mercantile marine, knowing
we'll that a navy is indispensable
not only for defense, but as insuran-
ce of maritime enterprise in develop
ment of industry. But she will not
stop with buying her navy or her
freigh and passenger ships from To-
reign builders. The q. s. consul at
Nagasaki reports that this new twin
screw steamship is equal in cons
truction to the best class of Atlantic
steamships, and, if this means any
thing at all, it means the auspiciOus
beginning of a self.contained mari
time industry that must be reckoned
with in the world competition for
Pacific commerce.

Closing OF The MOIi=
neux Trial.

The famous Molineux case, now
being tried before Recorder Golf in
New York, has at last gone to the
jury. This case has run longer in
the Recorders Court than any cri-
minal case ever tried in any country.
1t has attracted worldwide attention
and the jury'S decision will lie avail
ted with great interest.
The case is without a precedent
in New York criminal jurisprudence.
The son of a citizen who had rende-
red distinguished services to his
country; a young man who had
himself won some measure of success,
is connected with a heinous crime
merely by slip of paper, admittedly
in disguised hand.
Few cases have ever presented
greater opportunities to counsel for
addressing a jury. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne in his open
ing dipped into metaphor and gave
free vent to impassioned oratory.
Mr. Weeks, a0ith his voice racked by
a cold, maintained q conversational
tone and never lost sight of his facts.
He essayed no flights of fancy, made
no apt quotations, but confined him.
self to the exposition Of the case from
his stondpoint.
Roland B. Molineux's fate now
rests in the hands of twelve of his
countrymen.

ofthe professional experts in handWri-
ting, of the practical experts from
banks, and of his former associates

Russia And Persia

The news papers in Saint Peters
bourg expressed immense satisfaction
at the Persian loan of 22,500, 900
rOubles to be foated by the Loan
Bank of de Persia, Russian ms
titution, but thaught Russia showed
excessive delicacy in not including
the custom houses of the ports of the
Persian Gulf among the guarantees.
They urged the prompt building of
railroad as the best means of shut
ting out the claims of other nations.
The "Herold" saw extraordinary
significance in the conclusion of the
arrangement, which shows Russia is
resolved to protect her interests in
Persia in determined fashion. The
paper also said it thaught Germany
would not be envious Of Russian
success, which can be regarded as
Russia's compensation for Samoa
The other papers said the first
thing Persia ought to dc is to extin-
guish her indebtedness to Great Bri-

Venezuela'S Peace
Threatened Again.

According to a recent despatch
from Port of Spain another reYo-
luton against the government of
Venezuela is imminent. 1t is said
that there are serious dissensions in
the Cabinet.
General PulidO, the Minister of
War, has openly objected to the po-
Icy Of President Castro. The libe-
raj party is opposed to excessive ta-
xation and the levying of contribu-
tiOns upon and the confscatiOn of
private properties. There is belief
that liberals are planning a revolu-
ton.
1t is understood that General Bello
Rodriguez, who was the Minister of
the Interior during the Andrade
administration, will be the leader OF
the new revolution. He is an influ-
eutial liberal and has been in COM
munication with the leaders of the
liberal party. The Hernandez revo-
luton is a conservative movement.

tain and thus regain her freedom of
action in the province of Ears.
The British Army

The great anGiety of the people Of
Great Britain in connection with
the war in South Africa is rapidly
turning into Indignation. A strong
belief is growing that while the men
in the rank and file are doing all
that can be expected from them, the
majority of the officers are incompe-
tent and insuficientiy trained.
A British officer who for years
past has acted as an instructor OF
candidates for commissions in the
British Army gives the following
startling explanation of the medic
ere intelligence of British officers:
"The secret of our national weak
ness lies in the fact that the aristo-
cracy and the class commonly known
as society, both in town and country,
provide W per cent, OF our regular
officers. This society is suffering
from carefully induced cerebral afro
ply, caused by a persistent neglect
of Intellectual training and a mode of
life that is dissipated."
He demands "the suppression of
the diseased oligarchy which now
governs the country to the exclusion
of the physically and mentally heal
thy middle class"
Until England adopts system of
selection and training of officers 81
milar to that of the United States,
and in fact nearly all civilized coun-
tries, and abandons the principle
of commissioning men whose only
claim to consideration is the fact
that they have titles, she must look
for disaster in her military enter
priSes.

The Chinese In The
Philippines.

The Philippines commission finds
the Chinese question difficult. Nat
urally. The Chinese have been in
the islands since before Spain dis
covered them, and are intimately
bound up with their industry and
commerce. Their merchants carry
on much of the business, and their
coolies do the heaviest labor of the
civilized parts of Luzon. Though
they are hated by the natives, it
would be industrially hurtful as we'll
as very difficult to expel or exclude
them. With development of the
wild parts of the islands there will
be need for more Of them rather
than less. Doubtless the U. S. 60
vernment will find it profitable to
study the experience of the British
in the Malay Peninsula and the
Straits Settlements. Here the Chin
ese are as abundant as in the Philip
pines, as useful and energetic in trade
and industry, and as hateful to the
natives, Oh whOseindolence and inno-
cence they practise to mOnOpOlize
property, employment aud business.
The British use their great moral
influence and government to regu.
late and restrain the Chinese and to
exercise 2aternal protection over
the natives, and so have managed
to retain the benefits of Chinese i'm.
and escape its evils. This
is line of policy quite foreign to
the experience of Americans with
Chinese in this country, but which
may perhaps found wholesome and
necessary in the Philippines.
