A cobra showed remarkable suscep-

her, but the first tone awakened her,
and she raised her head. AS the mu-

she was standing straight as q pillar,

For the Democratic Party II It will
Endorse Prohibition.

Chicago. Ills, June 2T.--It developed
today that the Prohibitionists of the
United States expect TO go before the
Democratic National convention at
Kansas City with list of 100000
voters pledged to support William j..
Bryan IL the Democratic party will
adopt Prohibition plank In its plat
form.
The advocates of this movement do
not expect the Democrats to favor such
a plank, but they believe and insist
that it will be the entering wedge
which will finally split one or the other
of the two great parties and build up
on the ruins the foundation of a new
party.

MANILA, Stay 9.-Preparations for
the returning nome Of the thousands
of American volunteers now In service
throughout tue islands are much In ev-
idence. Large stretches of land adjoin-
ing Manila and lying near the bay are
being ieveled aud drained for the pitch
ing of the teats OF the eastward bound
bluecoats, most of whoiE win be mobi-
lized here. Additional docking facili-
ties for the fieet Of transports required
10 accommodate the soldiers are being
arranged. aud the var department Of
iicials are confident that but little con-
fusion or delay will attend the embark
Ing of the men.
The time set for the disbandment of
the volunteers Is June 80, 1901. The
problem now confronting the authorl-
ties is how to get the 81 900 soldiers of
that army away from the Philippines
before the date named and relieve
them with troops from the regulars"
without loss OF prestige and without
material disturbance of the present
military organization. The districts
surrounding, Manila will be inadequate

quence. many of the men will probably

die of that city is we'll adapted for en-.
campment purposes.
In cable dispatch from Washington
nre statements made by Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin concerning the transfer Of
the fighters. The general says It is pro-
posed to maintain an army of 10000
regulars In the Philippines as long as
required. To do this will necossitate
drawing on the troops stationed In Gu.
ba and In the United States. The army
now scattered among the islands has a
strength of about $4,000, equally d.
vided between regulars and volunteers.
All of the latter are to be mustered out
on the appointed date at the place Of
their original enlistment. In order to
accomplish this with certainty and
with little embarrassment the move
ment is to begin carly in November
next. As was the case with the volun-
teers for the Spanish h-Amerlcan war,
they will be taken home, so far as pos
sible, in the order of their departure
from the United States.
The fulfllment of this task will tax

ARMY OF PAUPERS.
Pouring lntO Ponce, Porto Rico, For
Government Aid.


Ponce, Porto Rico, April 6.-An an
nouncenent having been made that the
Porto Rican Penevolent society would
relieve the poor Of Ponce, the town IS
simply overwhelmed with an army Of
starving or pauperzed folk. No fewer
than 200 men, women and children, sick
anL starving, are living in the corridor
Of the city hall and in kiosk on the
plaza. Most of them are fed by the
society. Letters have been received an
nounciug that 5000 are Oh the way.
The above is from the Associated Press
and has appeared in all the daily papers.
For this condition the Mckinley ad-
ministration is responsible. Our armies
were received witt open arms and we
were welcomed on delicacies, and this
is the way they have been repaid. The
treatment of these poor people by our
trust controlled jelly fish president is
one Of the blacklist crimes in history.
Their condition is like the man from
whom the devil was cast, and afterward
the devil found seven others worse than
himself and all returned to torment him.
No such widespread want and suffering
was ever exl PC lrnced under Spanish rule,
and this is the result of the process of
benevolent assimilation of our imperial
istic administration.

which he does in his newspaper, the El-
dorado Daily Republican. He says:
"Laws are not enacted to be enforced.
They are put upon the books for the
courts TO knock ont. When this came
up in court the yiolator said this Sc
called law was nothing-was not worth
the paper it was printed ou-and he went
right on violating its provisions, 500
times a day, every day in the year. But
by some hocus-pocus, known only to
those who juggle in such things, this
legislative enactment, which cost the tax
/ payers $50, COO, came up for final deter
mination before three men in Topeka.
who don't know any more than we do.
Lawyers were employed on both sides
and after trampling all over the state
constitution and saving the air fer some
hours, the three men, sitting as the su-
preme court. took the case under ad-
visement.' There is not a word or line
in the constitution of the state of Kan
sas that authorizes the supreme court to
sit in judgment upon an act of legislature,
but it has usurped the power and does it
all the same, every week in the year.
The three men go into room and pro-
Ceed to make medicine over the const;-
tutionality Of this legislative declaration;
and Judge Doster, who IS partisan, says
it is law. Judge Bill Johnston, who is
also strorg partisan, says it is not good
law. So the kibosh is onto Judge Bill
Smith, to flip the penny for decision.
Judge Bill walks the floor, scratches his
right ear and says it its good law. He
takes another turn or two, scratches his
left ear, and says it is not law, and sticks
to it. And right here, without any con-
stitutional right, without any authority
granted by the people, the clearly ex-
pressed will of the voters is turned
down. In the meantime, the so-called
law has been on the statutes for year,
and it will take another year before the
legislature can convene and enact an
other so-called law to take the place Of
the one the supreme court knocked ont;
and then it will take the lawyers a third
year to get the second enactment before
the supreme court to be knocked out in
the same manner, and by the same three
Judges, sitting as a supreme court in this
land of the free and the home of the
brave.
