LETTER TO o. D. OWEN,
BARTON. VT.

Dear Sir: Some think take a good deal
OF risk in inviting complaints of Devoe lead
and zinc-we authorize agent to sell it
under this guarantee:
IF you have any fault to find with this
paint, either in putting it on, or
hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer about
It.
1--WE authorize him TO do what is right at
our expense
The following story tells how little the risk
is:
J. H. Asher & Co., hardware dealers, Rhine
beck, n. Y, have sold Devoe from 70 to now,
and have had just one complaint in all this
time.
Three sides of ho2se were perfect; the
fourth bad as the three good.
ExpIanation-It rained the night before
the fourth side was painted; and the painters
didn't wait for the wood 10 dry.
What is done in such a case? Whatever
the dealer, who sold the paint, considers it
fair to do We leave it to him. He may not
do exactly what we should do if we were there
but we are not there. The best we can do IS
to leave it to him.
Yours truly,
2. w. DEvoE & Co.

/ For the present, at least, the United
States is charged with the responsible
/ ity of governing the Philippines and
! other tropical regions, and since sol
diers will be required there for polio
ing purposes, if for none other, the
question where the necessary troops
are to be drawn from becomes one
of the first practical Importance. Ex-
perience has shown that the American
is no more capable than the English
man of sustaining the rigor OF the
tropical climate, and for that reason
Major L. L. Seaman urges, in the
December number of the North Anler-
ican ReUieaO, that the United States
follow the example of England and
employ NATIVE Troops for Our Colo
NAL Possessions" The latest exper-
iment which England has made in
that direction is the formation Of
regiment of native Chinese for the
protection of Wei Hal Wei-an exper-
iment that has been in every way a
success and DR.. Seaman gives rea-
sons for believing that the American
government could raise an efficient
force either among the Chinese in the
Philippines, or among the Filipinos
themselves, and thus save many
American lives and much American
money.

The Count of Castellanes' yacht,
Valhalla, has been seized at the in
/ stance Of a creditor for 626, 900 francs
due.
In the midst of one of the most Sc =
we're storms of the season the iron ore
barge Charles Foster, in tow of the
Iron Duke, went to the bottom at
o'clock Sunday morning ten miles off
Erie, Pa, and eight persons were
drowned.
For the third consecutive tim g
! Harvard won a victory in the annual
debate with Yale held in Sanders
theater Dec. Z. The best speaker for
Harvard was Roscoe Conklin Bruce,
son of Hon. Blanche K. Bruce, the
we'll known colored man, who won
the Coolidge prize in the trial debate
and singularly the leader on the Yale
side was Frank II. Sincerbeaux, who
won the Thatcher prize at his college.
The question debated was: Resolved,
sEThat the permanent retention of the
Philippine Islands by the United
States is desirable" Harvard had the
affirmative and her case was substan-
TALLY put together, while Yale's neg
ative was constructively weak.
After long and interesting debate
General CIRCUITS oleomargarine bill
was passed by the house Dec. 9TH by
vote of 1876 to 92 The bill as passed

garine, butterine, imitation butter or
imitation cheese transported into any
state Or territory for consumption or
sale, subject to the police power of
such state or territory from forbidding
the transportation or sale of such
product when produced and sold free
from coloring in imitation of butter.
The bill increases the tax on oleomar-
garine cOlored in imitation of butter
from two to ten cents per pound and
decreases the tax on oleomargarine
uncolored from two cents to one
quarter ola cent per pound.

cod Eacts.

Nine months ago printing paper
was selling at S55 a ton. Now the
price is from 500 to $40. The In
ternational Paper Company
giant trust controls the output of
all the large pulp and paper mills,
and publishers are squeezed to the
extent that they are being ruined
financially. Congress has been
asked to repeal the duty on paper
and pulp. Bills have been intro
duced, but they slumber in Dali
zell's committee. The little Dandy
Jim congressman from Pittsburg
sits down on the publishers ap-
peals and tells the newspaper men
to be patient and relief will come
after awhile in the ordinary>course
of business. That's comforting,
isn't it2 After the monopoly vul-
lures have eaten all our flesh our
bones can be set mp for grinnipgi
skeletons, and sold to the doctors.
The publishers of this country
should unite and go down to Wash
ington and make their demands
known in such a way that our
$4,000 a year hired men would
give heed. Editor have largely
been instrumental in making the
statesmen representing us at Wash
lngton, and some of them have
been manufactured out OF pretty
poor material. They should be
given to understand that they viii
be held accountable, individually
and collectively, for the passage Of
a bill taking the duty off pulp and
paper; also the passage Of an anti
trust law with teeth in it.-Mead-

Divuiged secret Dreyfus Documemts-
Statement of the War Minister.

Paris, May 25.-The question Of the
alleged meddling of Detective Tomps
in the Dreyfus affair, which was warm
ly discussed at the reopening of the
chamber of deputies, was brought up
in the senate this afternoon. The min
lister of war the Marquis de Gallffet,
ON Tuesday denied the existence of the
Tomps letters at the ministry of war,
