 town offices we have fixed announce ments at 5 each. This means cash in advance. Cards, circulars and all printing pertaining to the election must be paid for before leaving the Gem office. There are no excep- tions to these rules. Promises don't go." The Gem has probably had the same experience which the JOURNAL MINER has, which has over S2OO worth of promises on its books for work done during the last county campaign in this county, and some $50 or $40 worth of promises from the last city election, to say nothing of the hundreds of dollars's worth of promises held as souvenirs of former campaigns.
 When such united testimony comes from Generals Lawton, Otis, Wheeler and hosts of officers and soldiers at the front, where they can understand the state of affairs better than any one in the United States, saying that the only hope of securing prosperity, peace. and the best interests of the Philippine is lands is to put down the rebellion, why should the Atkinsons, Hoars and Bryans still keep up their howlings7 The great mass of the American people are not going to be fooled by them, nor swerved an iota from their duty in pacifying these islands.

 While our Phenix contemporary, the Gazette, is rather cratic, and particularly so on politics, the fol lowing from it's columns will meet with a responsive echo from very many people: While the people of the United States naturally sympathize with the Boers, yet we ought not to forget that when Spain's guns were firing on our flag, that Germany, France and Italy showed their glistening teeth to Uncle Sam, and ran their fighting ships up beside those of Spain and then old England, recognizing the blood that mingled at Concord and Valley Forge, grandly aligned hel ships of war beside the stars oi this republic and with a feeling oi brotherhood emblazoned on hel banner, said: Your enemies are ours," and shotted her guns for bat tie. The United States must not be unmindful of those days of loyal friendship. The powerful guns ol England in the bay of Manila put the fear of the lord in that belliger- ant old German admiral, and there is a feeling of kindness in the Americans heart today. Let us try and stop the war; but let us not for get the debt we owe to the nation that turned her guns on our coun- try's enemies in the darkest period of our Spanish war"
