 Aguinaldo is said to have annOunc ed that his friend Edward Atkinson was about to be elected president of the great state of Milwaukee. The Beer city must certainly be in a great state of mind over the news.
 The Porto Rican incident is closed and will remain so until time brings proof of the prosperity of the island under the new bill. But even then, the democrats will not have the hon esty to admit that they were mistaken as to its effect.

Some pretty good | documents have come from McKin- ley's pen, and no doubt this will be | up to their usual s:au1arl.
