Mr.. John p. Applegate, prominent
citizen of Red Bank. n. j., tells the
following interesting and significant
story:
I'm the year 1895 there came at
different times 10 my home here on the
farm by actual count 12I men who
were tramplng the roads looking for
work From Ian. 1. 1900, to the 9th
day of August there have been but
two. one of these TOO feeble 10 work
anywhere. Why, in 1894 and 1893 we
could get good farm labor for 30 and
10 cents day and their board while
his year any farmer will tell you that
GOOD laborers are impossible to get,
while unskied ones want $l.2o to
$50, and they likely are some Poland-
crs who never saw pillow. and scarce
,t that, What does this indicate? Why
thnt the factories and foundries. the
railroads and the public works every
branch of trade is active and has
Swallowed up tile great body Of labor
The laborer who tramped the roads In
1894. 1895 and 1896. looking for work.
in 1900 lies back in his parlor and
waits for his employer TO come for
him in his carriage. This Is hot fig-
ure of speech; 1t Is fact. have done
it aud am still doing it."

our phl,,ppine.s.o,,cy.

We believe that it would be well for
the advocates Of the administration In
the campaign that will now shortly be
al its height to make most prominent
before the voters the settled purpose
of the government TO secure the ult-
mate adoption of self government In
the Philippines and in the meantime to
serve the interests and secure the CO.
operation Of the natives. On the other
hand, we call the serious attention OF
those who are dissatisfied with the
present outcome In some OF Its features
TO the fact that the determination or
the future policy of the government IN
this matter rests not with the admin
istration. but with congress. and that
1t is quite possible to attain all that
they really desire through congress
without putting Mr.. Bryan In the pres
idency and inviting the incalculabie
peril involved in his election. Not only
by the constitution, but by the express
terms of the treaty with Spain the
status of the natives of the Philip
mines Is within the control of congress.
That body can dictate the policy OF the
government on this as on all other
questions. and II 1t contains major
ity rejecting strong sentiment among
the people it will do so. Mr.. Mckinley
can be relied on TO respect such.a sen
timent so embodied with the utmost
fidelity. In the congressional elections'
therefore, lies the field for effective
activity on Tile part of those who wish
to hold tile government to Just policy
in the new possessions and do not wish
TO bring disaster to business interests
and dishonor TO the public credit by
the election of the free silver candi-
date. If candidates for congress are
chosen who will support the gold stand
ard and who will stand not for the
wild and impracticable notion of I'M
posing government on the FilipInos and
then assuming all the responsibilities
Of their independent Conduct with no
chance of control but for The exercise
of our Sovereignty with the steadfast
purpose OF the gradual and complet"
extension OF self government, the best
results will be attained with the least
rlsk.-New York Times.

He saw the country manufacturing

He saw pound of wool selling for

The special interest felt in the cleo
ton OF the president naturally tends
to dwarf other matters OF Importance
connected with the election. But the
voters everywhere should not fail to
remember that the election OF con-
cressu,en is second IN Importance only
10 that OF the president. and there is
great danger that the Republicans
may lose the control of the next house
Of representatives even though Me
Kinley might be reelected by q large
majority. The reason of this is partly
because the present Republican ma
jorify in the house Is very small. so
that a gain OF nine Democratic votes
would overcome 1t, and partly because
the new election laws in several OF the
southern states are of such nature
that the Republicans could not posi-
bly, hope to carry a single district In
1lat section and must therefore expect
to lose several seats from this cause,
which must be Offset by gains IN other
parts of the country. Chairman Bah
cock OF the Republican congressional
committee desires 10 Wstfu NHc WITS

found and eloquent language that

20 men were hunting one boss. Today
20 bosses are hunting one mana man

The Sober Burro Was Killed.

FROM nc Mericcn Hordid.
According TO a report received Yesterday
morning at tho general Offices OF the Mexican
Railway. a rather unusual incident happened
on Friday, while the express was running into
Vera Cruz. About seven miles from tho CITY.
when the train was running at a high rate OF
speed tho engineer, upon rounding n cnryc.
saw n man riding n burro on the track but n
lew yards In front of the engine. The engine
s,ruck the man and burro, throwing them INTO
,ne ar. 'poh the arrival Of the train a, Vera
Cruz. II was discovered that the man who nas
riding the hurro NJ the time Of tho accidor,
was reposing on the little platform built on
me front OF English engines. He was unhur..
but IN n very intoxicated condition, his thrill
Ing experience evidently not having resulted
IN SOLDERING him up. The burro was discovered
iylns beside the track yesterday ne1aaC.
literally out 10 pieces.
