The Coulter has recantlv been taken

The Courier has recently been taken
with a bad spell-one of those short
ones Altho l do not thoroly under
stand the case suppose they will pull
rhru. Thruout a somewhat checker
ed career of about ninety years (net)
have devoted much time in trying to
learn to spell, and if phonic spelling
will teach me when / don't know
whether it is one or two, or two MS
or one or whether there is but one s,
will join the class if don't have to
pay in advance. Phonotyphy is a
grand thing, so is philoprogenitiveness
and mince, pie, but if you will add
cheese to the latter you can get a
worse spell than you can invent for the
former. Now, there are summersault
and hiccough-both these words need
revamping. I think if should try the
first I should get the last and be hide
bound for month into the bargain.
Don't worry, I am not going to hig-
gledypiggledy myself in any such I'M
dignified manner. Now how is this

GOT PLENTY OF ACE.

The rising temperature of the last
few days has not occasioned the wall
of despair that it did few weeks ago,
when it put a cessation to all work on
the ice harvest. This time the ice men
of the city and all those who contem-
plated storing ice for next summer,
availed themselves of the second OPP
portunity, and as far as can be learned,
all have secured sufficient ice to supply
all demands next season. In all proba-
bility there will not be any more ice
of sufficient thickness for storage pur-
poses this winter. This, however, may
be a false prediction, but at any rate
that is the opinion of the ice men.
Most of the ice that has gone into
storage this winter is about foot in
thickness, and is said to be of a very
fine quality, even better than put up
last season. 1t is not as thick as the
last years crop, but it is claimed will
remain in storage with less waste.

islands, neither Of which they ap-
proved, they would take the one that
could be amended rather than the one
that would be i~rrevocable.
American public opinion believes in
the retention Of the Philippines, and in
the extension to that country Of a
truly American form of government.
under which the Filiplnos would have
no provocation to revolt. 1t believes
that free silver vas dead In 1896 and
is ten times deader in 1900. That is
one issue. at least. that will not be
heard Of again in the immediate
future.
Unquestionably the people are OPP
posed to Mr.. Mckinley and his policy
in the Philippines. But they reason
hat If the islands are retained that
policy can be changed and a truly
American system established in the
future, while If they were abandoned
altogether they never could be re-
gained.
Mr.. Bryan could have been elected
by such a majority as no President
since Grant has ever had If the two
e%xtraneous issues of free silver and the
abandonment Of the Philippines had
not been needlessly dragged into the
campaign. a4flf#a
Beyond a doubt a great deal Of
money hasbeen used in this election
and yet we are not inclined to believe
that any State has been actually
bought. The result may be accepted
as the will Of the people on the partic-
ular issues that the people chose to
consider entitled to precedence.

FRIDAY. +. NOVEMBER ., 1900
HOW IT HAPPENED.

The following from the Examiner
OF San Francisco. a Bryan organ. may
clear the mist from Democratic voters
eyes so they car see how 1t happened:
William Mckinley has been re-
elected In most decisive fashion. His
popular majority is much less than In
1896, but his electoral majority Is
enormous. Through the haze of this
defeat the Democracy can see the
victory that might have been. Beyond
a doubt Mr., Bryan would have been
trIumphantly elected but for two
things:
The first was the intrusion of the
silver issue. Free silver was dead.
and so unpopular that ever It's corpse
was enough to drag any man down to
defeat:
The second was the policy of cutting
loose entirely from the Philippines.
That was not in accord with the spirit
Of the American people.
The people evidently made up their
minds to dispose Of free silver once for
all. The effort was superfluous. for
free silver had ceased to exist as a
possible policy four years ago, but the
voters were determined not to have
the remains lying around any longer.
The Democratic Party has paid by
two defeats for the adoption Of an I'M
popular and discredited issue. Free
silver was defensible in 1895. although
even then Its advocates had an uphill
fight. But everything that has hap
pened in the past four years has helped
to bury 1t deeper in the graveyard Of
Of obsolete issues. Russia. Japan and
half a dozen minor nations have be-
come gold standard nations. Even in
South America silver is steadily losing
ground and Mexico is almost the only
important friend left. A flood Of new
gold has filled the monltary channels Of
the world.
Every argument the silver advocates
advanced in l896-scarcity Of money.
approaching carrency. business string
ency-has ceased to have any applica-
ton to present conditions. Prices have
been rising instead Of falling. The
r u ;ts have bsep practically reducing
the wages Of the entire laboring popu-
lation by making the dollar buy less.
This is the most effective argument
advanced by the Democracy for win
ming labor votes, and it Is under such
conditions that the Democratic party
ha; been put in the ridiculous and
odious position of trying to make the
dollar bay l.ss still.
AS to the Philippines. the Examiner
was the first paper to advocate their
retention. but it never believed In at
tempting to hold their affections with a
shotgun, as Mckinley is doing. That
policy is as repugnant to the American
people as It is to the Examiner, bet
the people clearly thought that as be-
tween two methods Of dealing with the

PASSAGE OF THE CIRCUIT BILL
VOTE TAKEN IN THE HOUSE YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.
Defeat of the Substitute, 113 to 1.S-
Adoption of the OleOmargarine
Measure by 1913 to 81.

After The Stars report of the proceed
ings in the House closed yesterday. the de-
bate on the oleomargarine bill continued.
Mr.. Bailey (Kan) supported the substi-
tute. He said that laboring men from all
parts of the country had protested to the
committee against the Grout bill.
Mr.. Grosvenor opposed the Circuit bill,
which he said was designed to destroy one
industry for the benefit of another In the
course of his remarks, he said that the
coloring matter which 1t proposed to
deny oleomargarne manufacturers the use
Of. originally used by them, and was
now a staple of all COW butter manufact-
urers. He said that If the manufacture of
oleomargarne was destroyed, the bill
would destroy it, the cost of butter would
increase % per cent to the iaboring man.
Mr. Lamb and Mr.. Davidson supported
the bill. Mr.. Williams member of the agri-
cultural committee, who favored the sub
stitute, devoted considerable time to the
legal and constitutional phases of the pro-
posed legislation. He said he was willing
to stamp out fraud, not only In the sale of
oleomargarine but of Vermont maple syrup
and every other food product.
Mr. Tawney, who has been closely identi-
fled with the proposed legislation. closed
the general debate with a fifteen-minute
speech in favor of the Grout bill. The bill
was then read for amendment under the
cured recognition for the purpose of ex-
tending their remarks in the Record
Mr.. Bartlett moved to strike out the
proviso to the effect that nothing in the
bill should be construed to permit any
state to forbid the manufacture or sale Of
oleomargarfne in such form as would ad-
wise the consumer Of Its real character
free from celebration. The amendment was
lost 4S to III An amendment was adopted
providing that the act should go into effect
July 1. 1901.
Mr.. Bailey (Tex) closed the debate against
the bill. He contended that the pretense OF
the bill-that it was to prevent fraud-was
itself fraud.
Mr. Wadsworth on behalf of the minority
of the committee then offered the substi-
tute prepared by the minority. The vote
was first taken upon the substitute.
The substitute was defeated, 113 to 1I8.
The bill was then passed, 19S to 90. as fol-
