Every evidence of guerrilla warfare In
the Philippines is looked upon by the
democratic press as Indicating that the
conflict with the followers Of Aguinaldo
is by no means ended. The capture OF
the rebel chief,ain, Pillar. by friendly
natives, the effective work being done
by the Filipino police. and the good
order that prevails among the better
class of inhabitants, count for naught
with the bourbon press. To them the
war is not over until the Jast outlaw

been run to earth. ~
For years after rhe close of our civil
war there were exhibitions of outlawry
here and there, and in some localities
the Klu III Khan terrorized the peoS
Pile. Many northerners fell victims to
the fires of prejudice, which lived long
after the stars and bars went down.
There will be echoes from the Filipino
war for years, and the topography OF

Of troops for the preservation OF order.
Such conditions will be in line with the
natural order of things-the regular Sc
ouences of war. Guerrilla outbreaks
long after the war itself shall have been
concluded. But they will not indicate
that the victory of the British is not
essentially a complete one. No war was
ever concluded without its aftermath of
~outlawry, when circumstances made
such exhibitions possible.
1t is, therefore, rank demagoguery for
the democratic press to point to condi-
tlons in the Philippines as evidence of a
failure on the part of the federal gov
inner to quell the insurrection. But

The same rule holds good today. Grea

THE DIVIDED DEMOCRACY.

In boiling the county convention yes
aerday the Clark democrats exhibited a
degree Of courage never before imputed
to them, and which is more than likely
to place them in full control Of their
party in this state. Heretofore that
win of the democracy, in the interests
of party harmony, has surrendered
nearly every political advantage secured
to it's implacable enemies. Shortly after
the election Of Senator Clark by the
Sixth legislative assembly his friends
withdrew their opposition to the schemes
of the DAILY men, in order to promote
party harmony, with the result that the =,
bill to create Powell county was defeat
ed, the hobo circle at the top Of the Off
cial ballots was retained, and corpora
ton legislation of incstimable value to
the DAILY men was permitted to go
through that body and be placed upon
our statute books. Having secured these
fayors, through the magnanimous re-
fusal Of the Clark men to carry the war
into Africa" the DAILY men at once
turned their batteries on Senator Clark,
with the results that are known to the
world.
Notwithstanding the most vigorous
evidence OF non-appreciation which the
Daily democrats could submit to their
party enemies, the Clark men continued
