notwithstanding the Philippine war,
and the heavy expenses of the past six
months, the national debt has been re-
duced over $4,000, 900. Currency circu-
lation has increased 65,ooo,oo during
the year The surplus for March is
S16,5 $40. For the nine months of the
present fiscal year the receipts exceeded
disbursements by S543o2, 900. Every
American citizen can and will feel proud
of this record. The Republican party
promised prosperity, and its promise has
been redeemed Contrast these figures
and times with those of Grover Cleve-
lands administration, when the land was
full of charity soup houses, when two
thirds of our railroads were in the hands
of receivers, when mills were closed, and
factories were silent, and the laborer and
his family realized the pangs of hunger
and misery of idleness. God grant that
none of the present generation may
ever live to see such another adminstra-
ton AS with fairys wan, Mckinley
and the Republican party, have touched
the rock of prosperity, and a sparkling,
refreshing stream of plenty and glad
ness has burst forth.

Some Democratic papers are Haunting
the name of Robert L. Patterson, at the
head OF their editorial columns, as suita-
bic nominee, to run with Bryan. Well,
Patterson talked and voted against Bryan,
in 1896, and said some very bitter things
against free silver. He would be just as
easy to defeat,as any other Democrat, and
then, don't you see, some of the free silver
Democrats could get chance to scratch
his name. BY all means, let Willie and
Robert be slaughtered together,
Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.

Death has again visited our commun-
ity and taken from us Moses Grantham
Dick, son of Mrs. Sallie Dick, who was
born June IS, 1880, died March 90, 1900,
aged 10 years, 9 months and II days.
He became seriously i'll last October,
and fingered on in the various stages of
consumption until one morning. when he
was called above by his Heavenly Father.
About a month ago he professed the
Christian faith, and was baptized by Rev.
w. F. Gruver and received into the
United Brethren church. He gave I'M
mistakable proof of his redemption, and
bore his suffering very patiently. We
will miss him here. but we know that
God needs him above. Great sympathy
is felt for his bereaved mother in her deep
sorrow.
One less az home
The charmed circle broken-a dear face.
Missed day by day from its usual place,
But cleansed, saved, perfected by grace,
One more IN heaven.
One less on earth
Its pain, its sorrow, and its toll to share,
One less the pilgrims daily cross to bear
One more the crown Of the blest to wear
At home in heaven.

for a little visit with his family. He
reports trade in good shape on the
road.
Mrs. w. f. Benkleman was glad to
welcome her sister, Miss McDougal,
yesterday, as will the many friends
who knew her while she was engaged
In our school.
An exchange gives the following
good advice to parents: Before you
listen to the complaints OF your chill
dren about the fiendishness of the
teachers and get all worked up and
excited over it, 1t is better to reflect
a little. Remember your one or half
dozen cherubs drive you crazy about
half the time and bear with.the teach
er who is making for you Intelligent
men and women of as unpromising
material as you were twenty or thirty
years ago. Remember that besides
your own boy, who. Of conrse, every
body knows is an angel, she has to
contend with that awful boy of your
neighbours, and you know full well
what terror lie is"

When hog gets an ear OF corn
every other hog will trot behind him
and squeal and whine, beg and toady
for bite; but just let the front hog
get into fight, with his head In a
crack, and every son of sow will
jump on him and tear him to peices.
Just so it is with men. AS long as a
man is prosperous aud has money he
can't keep his friends of with base
ball bat. The moment he is uDfortJ-
nate and his money is gone, he is not
only snubbed by his alleged friends,
but they at once begin to do him all
the harm possible. When a man

hind and pushes. When he starts

who governed China. seeing that their
Offices would soon be at an end, plan
ned the great coup whereby the EN-
press Dowager dethroned the Emperor,
assumed supreme control and banished
all reformers. Straightway the reform
movement. which before had been un-

great body. with headquarters at Sim

an dother important cities with large
Chinese populations. Millions of dol

for the cause. The purchase of arms
and SUPPLIES Of war was arranged for.

Now that the allied forces have driv-
en- the Tartars from Picking, the re.
formers have placed their men in the
field. Over twenty thousand Of them
are under arms at the city of Wei
Chaou, near Canton. in such a posi-
ton as to practically control the situa-
ton there. The viceroy can depend
with certainty only on the few Manchu
and Tartar guards whom he has with
him. The bulk Of his provincial forces
are Cantonese. who hate him as much
as the reformers do. and who will in
all probability flock to the standards
Of Sun Vat Sen.
In the valley Of the Yang tse- Kiang,
at and near Ta-Tung. the reformers
have nearly thirty thousand men. They
are preparing to march northward to
meet with others. who will rescue the
Emperor. and. placing him at their
head, return either to Picking OF Nam
King, there to found government.
There are among the reform forces
many Americans, one Of whom, Homer
Lea, left San Francisco some months
ago for the purpose Of recruiting and
drilling soldiers. Lea was student
at Stanford University. and said before
he left there that he would practically
become commander in chief Of the Chi
nese revolutionary forces, and that
he had hundreds OF Americans. mary
Of them soldiers. officers, university
students and professors, who were will
ing to follow him to China. He sailed
for Singapore literally supplied with
money for expenses. A few weeks agJ
he wrote from Shanghai saying that h,

he took his life in his hands.
