Some way in looking over the
Chinese and other Oriental problems
the Signal cannot but be more and
more impressed with the impressive
truths of holy writ, and that it would
be sensible for some classes to apply
at home the words of the Saviour,
who said: ''Cast the beam out of
thine own eye and then thou can see
better to cast the mote out of thy
brothers eve.

If Bryan should be elected, the United
States Treasurer will have the new duty
thrust upon him of issuing monthly,
perhaps daily, statement, declaring the
actual value of the silver dollar The
quotation will never be 100 cents, as it
is now.-Salt Lake Tribune.
1t the election Of Bryan at this
time will not accomplish the restor-
alton Of silver, as the apostates as
sert, how will the prophesy above be
brought about? His election must
mean something or nothing.

Montana Methodists have passed
resolutions endorsing the slaughter
of Filippinos for trade and Christ's
sake and with sanctimonious serious
ness commend congress, the admin
istration, the advancement to ga
world wide power" and the pushing
of "bene6cent institutions" into the
'furthermost parts of the earth. "
Praise God from whom all blessings
flow; ten thousand Filippinos Cath
olics) gone below This may be a
simple recognition of McKinley's adj
dress to the Methodists at Asbury
Park, New Jersey. 1t is safe to say
that if the Filippinos were all Meth
odists the Montana Christians would
not have passed the resolutions, but
considering that the Catholic church
holds sway there it is not astonishing
that other creeds welcome any means
offering hope of installing more
''beneficent institutions.

The Signal has been asked what is
the purport of the frequent ''overalls"
remarks heard in connection with
Mr.. Stanrod, the republican candi-
date for governor. The reference is
to an incident. which took place at
Pocatello in Stanrod's court when he
was district judge there. A laboring
man WAS summoned to court as a
witness, Juror or for some other rea-
son and appeared in his working
clothes, wearing overalls. Stanrod
was greatly shocked and asked the
man, if that was the best garb in
which he could appear before "this
court. y The man explained that
he had s'his other suit at home but
did not have time to go and get it
but accompanied the sheriff at once.
The judge gave the poor working
man a dissertation on the proper
apparel in which to appear before
this honor"-some say he sent the
man home to dress up, but that is
indefinite. The Boise Statesman, in
a column editorial admits the facts
but apologies for Stanrod on the
ground that the overalls we're every
dirty"

COST OF THE PHILIPPINES.

| FROM The report submitted to the
senate by the war department in June
and no official figures have been
printed since, it appears that the
sum of 1888, 000,O 900 had been with
drawn from the public treasury to
defray expenses growing out of tue
Spanish and Philippine wars, as well
as the expenses incident to prepare
ton hostilites.
This includes the regular national
defense fund which, in 1896, for
instance, was $50, $50, 92O. 1t also
covers the expenses of the peace com
mission and the $50, 600, 600 paid to
Spain.
This leaves balance on account
of war alone of about $500, 900, 900.
The most. of this was expended in the
maintenance of large army, over
200, 600 men in camp while force
no larger than the regular army act
ually captured the Cuban strongholds
and forced the Spanish government
to give up
The amount expended in the
Philippines up to the 1st of last
month is estimated as follows:
Transportation. .......$ Is, 631, 096
For the army. 49,. ........ 100, 600, 900
Navy at Manila. ....... so, 900, 900
Total. ............ Sl05, 637, 096
The estimate for the navy includes
only the expenses attached to keep
ing ships in the archipelago since the
beginning of the lnsurrection.
But the real cost of the Philippine
war is not figured up in dollars and
cents. 1t is shown in the following
list, which covers the period beginn-
ing with the end of the war with
Spain and ending June 18th, 1900:
hiliCu OSI
Died of wounds and accidents. go. $40
Dled OF disease ..................1 j, 2S0
Total deaths ..2,117
Wounded. 9, 1876
Grand total. ... a, 302
This is the loss the people feel
most keenly. And the pensions to
follow will add to the other expenses
of the government.
And for what is all this loss of
life and waste of treasure?
"For trade" answer the mouth
piece of the administration.
And the Boise Statesman of last
Saturday contained half column of
Philippine casualties-poor fellows
added to the debit side of "trade. -
The account can never be paid. War
never brought trade in the history of
the world. Trade is secured only by
peaceful means.

Speedy, Fair and Honorable Ad-
justment to All.
Reasons why You Should Insure Your Prop
erty with the Abbeville- Greenwood Mu-
tual Insurance Association.

Reasons why You Should Insure Your Prop
erty with the Abbev1lle- Greenwood Mu-
tual Insurance Association.
i. 1t is all Association of the
people, for the people, and we have
thoroughly demonstrated that mu-
tual insurance Is practicable for
4 and by homefollls.
: 2. This Association insures
against fire and lightning, cyclones,
tornadces and wind storms" while
capital companies insure against fire.
3. This Association has half a
million dollars of property insured,
and since its organization has paid
thirteen thousand dollars of losses,
at an average annual assessment OF
one-half Of one per cent, onc-tilh
of the cost OF other companies, and
not in Il single instance has it re-
sorted to the aid of the Courts to
collect an assessment OF to adjust q
loss. r
4. By this plan you pay for the
protsetiien you have enjoyed in the
past, and if there is no loss, there
is no expense while in other COM
panies you pay in advance for pro-
lection you expect to get: though
may not get except paid for dearly
by legal proceedings.
5. This plan is contract between
neighbors; while in other companies
you enter into i contract written
by the company, for the company,
and against you. You can read and
understand the policy of this COM
pany. Few understand an aver
age insurance policy.
6. Speedy, fair and honorable
adjustment of all losses of property
are made at assessed valuation
when insured, with no threc-fourths
clause attached. The man who
values your property is your neigh
who also adjusts your loss; while
in other companies. when you sus-
tain o loss, stranger comes and
looks into the ashes and says what
is to be paid you.
Z. You can with small expense
insure against fire, wind and storm.
while a fire policy is about all you
can afford in the old companies
You can enjoy the satisfaction of
knowing that if your dwelling is
burned, it is insured in an Assocla-
tion composed of friends and leigh
bors, who will pay every dollar at
which it was valued, and not be
subject to thousand and one restric-
tions, imposed by other companies,
more for their advantage than for
the protection of The insured. The
money paid out is kept at home, and
every dollar goes TO the loser of
property, which means the upbuild-
ing of your own county.
8. Don't wait to be burned out
and become o burden to your
friends by having them BEG for you,
when absolute protection is yours
by casting in your mite. Demon
stration is fact, and cooperation
is your duty. Therefore, at once
insure in the Abbeville-Greenwood
