The statement made in Chicago last
week by ex-United States Minister to
Slam John Barrett, that the anti-ex-
pansion speech made by Senator Hoar
in the senate was the eliminating in
fiuence that brought about the insur-
rection in the Philippines, assumes a
new interest when it is claimed that
Andrew Carnegie paid the tolls for ca
bling it to the Filipino junta at Hong
Kong, the same costing Carnegie $4,000.
Senator .Hoar has refused to say any
thing In answer to the charge of Mr..
Barrett, but because he maintains what
he is pleased to call "a dignified ST.
lence." does not vItlate Mr.. Barretts
cIrcumstantial relation of the incident.
1t is not hearsay with Mr.. Barrett, as
he was personal witness to the recep-
ton of the telegram at Hong Kong.
This is his testimony to the fact:
l remember the incident distinctly.
was coming down stairs in the hotel
when met the president Of the Hons
Kong junta, and he had In his hand the
long dispatch he had Just received II
gave large part Of Senator Hoar's
speech in full, and q summary Of the
rest Of It. asked the president what
re was going te do with II, and he told
me he meant to send 1t to the officers
Of the army In the Philippines. He was
urged not 10 10 1t, but he protested that
II had been printed In the United States
and was public property.
-Four days after that speech had been
delivered Il was in the hands of Those
who saw an opportunity to make polItl-
cal capital out OF 1t. The speech was
published and distributed among the
soldiers, and / believe 1t was the culmin-
ating influence that brought about the
open insurrection. That speech, you
must remember, was delivered before
there was an open insurrectlon.
1t Is stated that the administration
has known for some time of Mr.. Car
negle's connection with the exploitation
of Senator Hoar's speech in the Philip
pines. Now that part of the records OF
the so-called Filipino government cap
tured by our soldiers are on the way to
Washington, how would 1t do for the
gentlemen in Congress who have been
so free with their resolutions OF inquiry
about the conduct of the operations in
the Philippines, to ask for any informa-
ton they may contain. They won't do
it. They are not seeking that kind OF
knowledge.

The Demand for Rails.

There seems to be every prospect that
the iron aud steel industry will this year
break the marvellous record made in
that business last year. 1t was report
ed from Chicago in recent dispatches
that the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
road had contracted for $4,000 tons of
rails, amounting to S1,OOOOOO. on top
of this comes a statement from the
president .: the Federal Steel Company
that his company within the past week
had virtually closed contracts for $4,000
tons Of rails for railroads in this coun-
try and was negotiating foreign con-
tract amounting to $4,000 tons.
From this 1t would appear that there
is perceptible improvement in the de-
mand for rails. This holding of has
been ON account of prices The repre-
sentative OF one large rail company in
New York City, says the demand
comes principally from western roads
though there are number of foreign
INQUIRIES in the market at present. The
large buyers OF course placed their or
ders before the last advance in price
was made. Current orders run from
1000 to 1000 tons, and all are placed at
full prices. The railroads can probably
better AFFORD to pay 335 now than they
could S25 when rails were selling at that
price, owing to the great Improvement
which has since taken place in the
transportation business.
1t seems to be admitted by buyers
that firm prices are bound to rule dur
ing the whole of this year at least. Con-
tracts for ore and coke have been pref
ty well placed. and as these are the
principal factors in the manufacture Of
steel 1t follows that finished materials
should continue to demand Arm prices
In fact. there Is a disposition among
sellers to reserve a part Of their capa-
city for the latter part Of the year
rather than I'LL up completely at current
prices"

Every New Year brings deluge Of
calendars, both commercial and artistic.
Some are frankly commercial, and
others go to the opposite extreme a
great deal Of ornamental design and
very little calendar.
We have received copy of Swlft's
Home Calendar for 1900, which is un-
questlonably one of the most beautiful
Of the nd-of-the-century calendars.
The calendar is in the form of a
screen, it, exact size being 1Ox251a
inches. In each of the four circular
panels Is an ideal head. typical of one
OF the seasons, from paintings by Percy
Moran the great water colorist. The
pictures have all the effect of the origi-
nal water colors, and as there is no adj
vertisIng on the front, the calendar is
both ornamental and useful.

Rspublican League Of Clubs.

1t is highly important that the Re-
publican League convention which has
been called to meet at Parkersburg on
March 5, should be largely attended.
This organization in the past has done
good work, and its services will be
needed in the coming campaign more
than ever. The meeting will in meas
ure be the preliminary opening of the
campaign, and it therefore behooves the
Republicans in the various counties in
the state to not only revive the clubs Of
past years, but effect new organIza-
tons. Each club will be entitled to five
delegates.
It will be season Of conference and
preparation for the task set for the
Republicans this year. Heretofore
these meetings have been Of the most
enjoyable character and we presume
on this occasion 1t will not lack in
interest to the members Of the party.
Speakers OF national reputation will be
present, who will afford entertainment
as well as instruction. Now is the time
to organize.
