feet on people generally, and the
inpulsive, hot-blooded Filipino
IS no exception to the universal
rule. The non-reeegnitioa Of a
state of war as existing between
the Fiiipinos aud ourselves is of
peculiar Importance at This mo-
ment i'll view OF Aguinaldo's re-
cent proclamation IN which he
promises his followers indepen-
dence as the immediate result of
Mr.. Bryan's expected election to
the presidency. A notification
that everybody found with arms
in his LaAds would be treated as
a rebel and that no parole would
under any circumstances be
granted would make a good
many pause before again joining
an attack upon our troops.

WE ARE PROSPEROUS.

The bare statement of the num-
ber of mortgages filed during any
stated period is no safe criterion
Of the material welfare Of COM
lnunity, and any one who pauses
to give the matter consideration
is aware of this. The question
arises how many OF these mort
cages are renewals of old mort
cages at alower rate of interest?
For what purpose were these
mortgages contracted? To meet
obligations or to secure ready
money for investment in sotne
promising speculation? When
mortgages are being toreolosed
we may safely say that times are
hard, but when times are good
men often mortgage their be-
longings at low rate of interest
on liberal security, not because
they are being pressed by credi-
tors, but because they see an op-
portunity to make good invest
ment and need cash for the pur-
pose. In his speech at Oak
Grove last Friday evening Mr..
J. B. Irvine, father of the Times,
set at rest all this cry about
times not being any better.
Every farmer in Benton county
and everybody else knows that
we are far more prosperous
than we were four years ago.
No one is out of employment
who will work and wages are
much higher than they were in
1896. Out~eounty is nearly out
of debt. The publication of sta
tist,cs with an attempt to prove
that the people of this county
are not enjoying the Same meas
ure of prosperity which all other
portions of the country are en-
|joying, will have no effect here
where the people know better,
but it will give an impression
abroad which will act to our
'detriment.

Taber Writes Again

EDITORS AG1TAToR: Bill McKinley's pi-
rates report that they have murdered ten thou
sand Fiipinos and American savages rejoice.
Republicans ought to open their campaign
with scalp-dance and other Christian exer-
cises, such as roasting heretics, burning witch
es, judicialy numbering anarchists or crucifying
Christ or two. Perhaps it would not be best
to send another Maine on "friendly visit"
and blow her up to exasperate Americans and
bewilder Spaniards. "The pitcher that goes
too often to the well,' etc.
Future generations will wonder what sort OF
people we could have been to have had such a
president. A hundred years from now, it will
not be considered good form to send hornets
nest on friendly visit into neighbor's parlor,
and then blow the thing up to get an excuse
for fight.
Gentlemen will do we'll not 10 make tracks if
they don't want me to follow them.

ASHAMED of Kansas"

Eugene Ware, well-known Republican OF
Topeka, has turned calamity bowler. He has
issued pamphlet in which he so manipulates
figures as to show that Kansas is losing popula-
ton and is falling off in assessed valuation OF
property. He thinks the Populists responsible,
and, after saying he is awful tired, he threatens
to go back to Connecticut if the Poprlists carry
Kansas. What howl would 60 up from Re-
pubicans if Populst should write such stuff.
Gene, you had better take Hoods Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling Courier.
The Republicans are circulating pamphlet
recently gotten out by Gene Ware, of Topeka,
which tries to prove that since the Pops came
to the front, Kansas has gone to the devil; all
the decent people are leaving the state; that our
people are not fit to associete with, and that
what few respectable people there ale lett here
will surely leave if Kansas goes for Bryan this
fall That is "standing up for Kansas. Fort

FUNDS HELD BACK
From Starving Porto Rico.

Governor Allen, of Porto Rico, was in New
York several days ago, when he was interview
ed by World reporter. In reply to the ques-
ton, "What was done with the customs receipts
which the administration declared should be
given back to the people in want on the island
after the passage OF the Porto Rico tariff law?"
Governor Allen said
81 am not prepared to say. l assume the
money is still held in Washington"
Governor Allen said he had heard reports Of
suffering in the southern part OF the island
and he supposed the government IN TIMF
would send the accumulating funds for the re-
lief of the people. cit is my understanding, u
he said, "that the administration intends to re.
fund the customs receipts FOR CERTAIN PE
RIoD. The amonnt of these receipts, believe
is about ~ ,ooo, ,ooo."

THE declaration in the Republican platform
that "to 100000 of the human race has
been given a new birth of freedom" is hideous
mockery. Porto Rico is held under an oppress-
i've tariff without representation; Cuba is still
dominated by the armies of the United States,
and in the Philippines, guerilla warfare is
wearing out the stalwart American soldiers.
Devastation, sorrow and death are the accom-
paniments of the Republican idea of 'new
birth of freedom" The party that sustains
such monstrous doctrine deserves the con-
demnation of patriotic Amelicans.-B Burlington
Courier.

cago Record:
TO THE EDITOR: Let me make prediction:
A party platform which can inspire $1,000 men
to sing
"My country It's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee sing.
Land where our fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims PRIDE
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring"
will win, whether its candidates are elected or
not The doctrine that the constitution follows
the fag that an executive or congress deriving
its existence and its powers from the constitu-
ton cannot exercise lawful authority beyond it,
or in violation of it; that all governments in
stituted among men derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed, is made the
paramount issue" by one great political party,
and has the tacit or avowed Endorsement of
every one of the minor parties. This leaves
the upholding of the opposite theory to fac
ton only of the Republican party, possibly not
even majority of it. Will the tail continue
much longer to wag the dog? Even the impe-
rialst faction seems to be as emphatic in the
assertion that the Filipinos cannot be citizens
as the Democrats themselves; so the only ques-
tion remains, "Shall they be subjects?' Should
the verdict of the American people on such a
question remain long Ill doubt?
In 1876, when the Democratic party stood
for the autonomy of the South and the suppress
sion of carpet-bagism the only Democrats de-
feated were those not elected TO Office. Tllden
was counted out, but the Hayes administration
was forced to cdopt the Democratic policy
Such, predict, will be the outcome of the
campaign of 1000, whomsoever may be elected

Of the people. Their platform will
be well received by Aguinaldo and
bis followers but it will never be sup.
ported by the American people. The
action OF the Democrats in the lower
house Of congress on the trust ques-
ton and the dominating influence Of
Boss Croker, the head Of the ice trust,
made their trust plank meaningless
jargon.
"They have put l6 to l down 10
most obscure corner Of the platform
and there it will stay without attract
ing any attention in their campaign.
"In the face OF the events Of the
past three and half years and the
contempt with which Towne, the
great silver leader, WAS treated at the
convention, any man continuing to
call himself Free Silver Republican
will excite only pity.
Mckinley and Roosevelt will be
elected by a larger popular and elect
oral vote than has ever been given to
any candidates since the day Of Grant,
and the Kansas contribution to that re.
suit will be $4,000 majority over all. !"
