MEET HIM WITH A SMILE,
A Rule That ELECTS 81 Protest From
Married Women.

lido wish some one would write a
few rules for men," said young mar
ried woman recently. I'm awfully
tired of reading in magazines and
newspapers that l must meet my hus-
band when he comes home from his
office pleasantly and cheerfully,' that
the house must be like a new pin,
must be prettily gowned, the dinner
must be daintily cooked and served
and that he mustn't be worried with

matter if delirium supervenes' for me.
'"These precepts are all right theoret-
icaHy and under ordinary circum-
stances are practical Every woman
follows them instinctiyely who wishes
to retain her husbands admiration, but
why aren't there a few laws of this
sort laid down for men to follow?
"Why isn't there some one to tell
them to look cheerful when they come
in and to forbear to grumble if dinner
is trif1e late for any good reason, to
be little sympathetic and affection
ate and remember that theirs are not
the only troubles in the house?
According to the ordinary writer, a
woman's whole married life should be
spent in practicing eXpedients to keep
her husbands love from growing cold,
while he apparently may pursue any
course he pleases, civil or uncivil, ty-
rannical or gentlemanly and be sure of
retaining hers.
''This may not be the masculine idea
Of the case at all; the sterner sex may
not really expect to get the whole
globe and give nothing in return, but
it is not the writer's fault if they don't
sedulously keep all such articles
away from John, for he's a very good
husband, and I'm afraid such litera-
ture would put ideas into his head and
spoil him.

ABOUT THOSE PROMISES.

A great many people seem to per-
sist in the belief that some sort of
promises, touching an independent
government, were made to Aguin
aldo when he was brought over
from Hong Kong and permitted to
land at Cavite. OF course it is i'm
possible for anyone to prove alb
so1ute1y that no promises of such
character were made. It would be
impossible to prove absolutely that
the sun will rise on the morrow;
yet there is a very fair promise that
Old Sol will make his regular ap-
pearance on schedule time. In re-
spect to those promises: Aguinaldo
says that promises were made;
Agoncilo, Aguinaldo's right hand
man and probably the shrewdest of
the two, says that promises were
made; William J. Bryan, who was
not present by the way, says that
promises were made; Carl Schurz,
we believe, says that promises were
| made; Ed, Atkinson says that
promises were made, and there are
number Of others who say the
same thing. Now it must be evil
dent, as none were present at the
alleged interview between Admiral
Dewey and Aguina1do except
Aguinaldo and the Admiral, that all
those who say that promises were
made do so upon the authority of
Aguinaldo, for Admiral Dewey says
emphatically that no promises were
made. There was present at that
interview another American officer
who says that no promises were
made. Well, then, the question is,
whom shall we believe, AguinaldC
or Admiral George Dewey? AS we
said before, it would be impossible
to prove absolutely that no promis.
es were made, but for our part we
will take the word of Admira,
Dewey in preference to that o.

ENCOURAGING TO DEMOCRATS,

The outlook for the Democratic
party is particularly bright and en-
couraging. A careful canvass of
the situation shows that there is
scarcely precinct in this whole
region which the party will not be
able to carry. The enthusiasm was
absolutely unparalleled in any for
mer political campaign, Reports,
well authenticated, have been re-
ceived from Tarlac, one of the lar
gest counties in the State of Luzon,
and it is said that there is not an
anti-Bryan man in that portion of
the island. Rumors have come
from Tataan showing that immense
crowdso of the most warlike Ei1ipinos
gathered at every rally, ali shout
ing vociferously for Bryan. The
Taybabas district is for Bryan and
Stevenson as one man, and that
portion of Luzon will not show in
the final court solitary Republican
vote, unless perchauce some Ameri-
can or sympathizer should be per-
mitted to cast a ballot. In Tukuran,
where careful poll has been taken,

PAP AND THE BOYS.

William Jenning Bryan is a father
1y sort Of a candidate for President
and looks after his children where
ever they may be. Upon learning
from his eldest son, Charley, that
Freddie was in distress and that a
few Democrats out in Idaho would
not give him cordial support, Father
Bryan at once sat down and wrote a
letter to his great and good friend,
Hon. K. I. Perky. The letter is
in words and figures as follows, to-
wit;
Ny Dear Mr.. Perky: -r
I am in receipt of a letter from
Mr., Towne, informing me of his
experience in Idaho and the gener-
al. situatson there. On the whole, he
seems to be we'll satisfied with the
outlook. However, quite to my SUR
prise, he stated that there are few
Democrats that are not giving their
cordial support to Dubois for Unitd
States senator, and that there is
suspicion in some quarters that GER
tain Democrats would like to bring
about situation that might be so
handled as to elect some Democrat
to the Senate.
II sincerely hope that Mr.. Towne
may be mistaken in this regard.
Surely, every consideration, both OF
good faith and good politics, urges
the loyal support of ex-senator Du-
bois by every Democrat in the State
Of Idaho, aud the success of his can
didacy for the Senat. He is thereg-
ular nominee of the Democratic
State Convention, and no loyal Dem
oerat in Idaho can consistently re-
frseto support him. But, in addition
to this plain obligation, the interests
of the party in Idaho, and in the
country at large, require that
Dubois be returned to the Senate, if
possible, He is very strong man,
and he IS perfectly loyal to Dem
ocratic principles. He is one of the
formost leaders in movement that
means much for the success and fu-
ture of the Democratic party.
fH men like Teller, Dubois and
Towne are not treated justly by the
Democratic party, twill both de
serve and receive the reproach Of
honorable men, and viii lose a vast
amount of strength with which it

A MISTAKE.

1t seems that there has been
popular Misrepresentation with re-
spect to a very important political
condition. Most of US have labored
under the impression, that the
Democratic party. BY its fusionistic
methods, had practically succeeded
in swallowing the Pops, but that
evidently was error. We have it
on very fair authority that the Pops
have actually swallowed the Demo
Gratis, nationally as well as locally.
1t came about in this way: A few
years ago, Mr.. Bryan, being much
chagrined over some action of the
Democratic party was about to bolt
into the Populist party, when a
friend of his, observing the action,
said: "Hold on, William, don't you
do that thing. You stay in the
Democratic party, and after awhile
you will be big enough to take the
whole Democratic party with you
when you bolt" Well, now the
theory is, that William has ,bolted
and taken the whole Democratic
party with him into the nav of
Popu1ism, and that is not. bad
theory because there is more Popu-
ism in Democracy than there is De
mocracy in Populism. But to one
who has no concernin this boa con-
strictor affair and does not care
whether the Democrats swallowed
the Pops, or the Pops the Demo
Gratis, the situation is a little 1udi-
crous because a great many. Demo
Gratis have been rejoicing in the be-
lief that they were doing the Pops
up all the time, when, as matter
of fact, the willy Pop was actually
smearing over the whole Democrat
ic party ready to take it down a
one gulp. Of course they still cal
it Democracy, but rose, you know
by any other name, would smell
just about the same.
