"The steamer which carries the grain

There is no special significance to
Mr.. Nealets report except that it fur
nishes positive denial of Gov. Lind's
statement, by one of his own employees.
All who have been led to believe that
the grain service is being conducted
on a more economical besis than for
merly have only to glance at the Off
cial reports on file.
The report of the weighmaster of the
Duluth district shows that the number
of bushels of grain weighed during the
grain year of 1900 was 134,749,95S. The
official report of the grain year of 1899
shows that the number of bushels of
grain weighed by the Duluth district
for that year is 192,52s, ,6557, or an excess
over the year 1900 of 57,575703 bushels.
The expense of the Duluth district
for the year 1900 was $43, ,1G8.3T, while
for 1899 it was s3S,563S3, or $4.544.74 less.
In other words, 1t cost the present adj
ministrat ton $454474 more to weigh
1874, 1896 bushels Of gran than it did
the previous administration to weigh
1872, ,52S, 657 bushels This does not take
into account the expense Of the appeal
board.
Now, these are the figures. They are
official and on file where any one can
see them.
No one would think very much about
this IL it were not that it is being con-
stantly proclaimed from the housetops

The UnhOly War.

The war in the Philippines has ended about
sixteen times. The trouble with the inhuinan
monster is that it won't stay ended. Aguinaldo
has been dead several times, but lie won't stay
dead The Filipinos are still active, and Ag-
uinaldo is still the guiding spirit.
Senator Beveridge's speech did the mischief.
Beveridge said, in the United States senate,
that Hanna wanted the islands for commercial
purposes. Immediately after that speech was
published, the war opened with renewed vigor.
Aguinaldo came to life. "Benevolent assimi-
lation" died a-bornin', and Hanna commercial
ism reigns in its stead.
Aguinado don't want to be commercialized-
not even by Malk Hanna-and don't blame
him. can't even find it i'll my heart to be
benevolently assimilated. If l am ever benev-
oentlv assimiated l want it to be by canni-
balls. Probably Aguinal!o feels the sane way.
Comnercaism lays waste the fat places of
mans earthly habitation.
The island of Luzon is slaughter-pen. Its
strong men have fallen in battle. Widows and
orphans wander, homeless, in their own land,
and flee to cover like wild beasts.
For once and only once, the United States
government has carried needless death aud
devastation into happy homes and fair country.
For the first time in the history of our nation
there is a blot on our fair name and an indeli-
ble stain upon our character. There was no
provocation to war. There are no extenuating
circumstances. The blood of the Filipinos
cries from the ground for vengeance and the
tears of the widows and orphans plead for just
ice and mercy. 1t is not war-it is a massa
ere. 1t never was a war; The Filpinos, in
skill, numbers or equipment have never, any
where near, been the equal Of the American
army. In the name of humanity, call for
cessation of hostilities. Call in our army. Pro-
claim all amnesty, Give the Philippines
protectorate, same as Cuba. Repair, as far as
possible, the devilish work of the past. Re-
store, as far rs possible, our good name to just
ice and humanity.

A Hard Nut to Crack.

Ministers who favor the introduction of
American "civilization," with all the concomi-
tants, are invited to read this clipping from
Manila daily paper. 1t is rich reading, and
Georges Weekly offers it without apologies:
The Chaplain cited an instance where he had
seen four American soldiers rolling around In a
carriage in drunken state, crossing the Bridge
of Spain, and said: "The degradation of Ma
Mia means the degradation of Luzon, and the
degradation OF Luzon would result III the deg
radiation of the whole archipelago, and the city
of Manila would be reproach and disgracesto
the whole American nation. Every man should
have pride that he is representative of Occi-
dental thought and progress, and he ought to
be ashamed to give himself over to sin.
ga mestizo of repute said the common peo-
pie of the islands never saw a drunken man un-
til the Americans came That may not be so,
but never saw drunken Filipino or China
man. The people have reason to believe that
the United States is nation OF drunkards. All
the men should take this to heart. What have
we come to these islands for? To establish
peace-loving people. Shall we leave them
worse than we found them?-The Manila Times.
Isn't it just barely possible the Filipino isn't
half as bad SIS our stay-at-home warrior states
men of the Mckinley Hanna class try to make
us believe he is? And isn't it barely possible
we are degrading the Filipnos instead of max
ing him more rist-like.-George's Weekly,
Denver, Colorado.

is for prohibition. Kansas must have water,
and lots of it. Prohibition damned the flow of
beer and whisky, and Colorado damned the
water courses. Saloons, dives and boct-leggers
opened the dam of prohibition. GODDARD will
open the Colorado water dams. Kansas will be
submurged from now on till election. Western

If the reform forces of the Second district
wish to exhibit wisdom in the selection of
candidate for congress, they will nominate that
old war-horse and lifelong reformer, John P.
St John He is one of the ablest men of the
nation, and would certainly be a credit to the
district and the state. On account of his repu-
tation, as debater, as a speaker and as an ag-
itator, he would add strength to the state ticket
and to every county ticket in the district.
He would put up better fight against Trust
Vice President Bowcrsock than any other man
in the district.
With John P. St. John in congress, the Sec
ond district would certainly be beard from.
Ne are for ST. John for congress.

JUSTICE BREWER, formerly of Kansas, is op-
posed to expansion. He says: '"Two visions
rise before income of a nation growing in
popu lton, riches and strength; reaching out
the strong hand to bring within its dominion
weaker and distant races and lands; holding
them by force for the rapid wealth they may
brins-with, perhaps, the occasional glory, sue
cess and sacrifice of war; wondrously lux
uriously life into which the fortunate few shall
enter; an accumulation of magnihcence which
for term skal charm and dazzle, and then the
shadow of the awfnl question, whether human
nature has changed, and the old law, that his.
torv repeats itself, has lost its force, whether
the ascending splendor of imperial power is to
be followed by the descending gloom of luxury,
decay and ruin. The other, of nation where
the spirit of the pilgrim and the Huguenot re-
mains the living and controlling force, afirm-
mo that the Declaration of independence, the
Farewell Address of the Father of his country
and the Monroe Doctrine shall never pass into
innocuous desuetude."

Ten Per Cent Advance and Reduce
don In Powder.

Wnkesbarre. Pa Oct. 2.-The coal
operators OF the Wyoming. Lackawan-
ma and Lehigh regions held an impor.
tant meeting in this city yesterday ar
ternoon and decided To offer the miners
M increase of 10 per cent In wages,
and also 10 reduce the cost OF powder
20 the miners from 50 10 TO 81 80 per
keg The whole situation was thor
oughly discussed. nearly all those pres.
ent taking part therein. The powder
question was the chief subject or de
bate. and next came the recognition oil
the union So far as can be learned
uone Of the operators were in favor OF
recognizing the union in any way.
The meeting lasted from p. III. until
O'Clock. Last evening w. \. Lathrop,
the chairman OF the meeting. gave out
the following from the Lehigh Valley
Coal Co.:
This company makes the following
announcement to its mine employees: ut
will adjust the rates OF wages so as to
pay 10 its mine employees on and after
Oct net increase OF 10 per cent on
the wages heretofore received; and viii
take up with its mine employees any
grievances which they have"
1t is understood from the foregoing :
that powder will be sold TO miners for
81 80 per keg. and that the difference
between this rate and the old rate OF
81 10 shall be taken into account In
figuring the net advance Of labor.
Similar notices TO the above will be
posted by all the other companies rep.
resented at the meeting The strikers
say that under no circumstances will
they accept the offer. They claim 1t is
not as good an offer as the Reading
company made TO its men. The union
is ignored and the net increase must
come out OF the price OF powder.
