An old soldier, Thos. Perry,
who is a well-to-do farmer of
Dickinson county. called at the
Union office Saturday and reg
istered a kick against the Nc
Kinley administration and the
Republican party in general.
Mr.. Perry has been lifelong
Republican but says he will vote
for Bryan this year. '"The Re
publican party has always pre-
tended to be the friend of old
soldiers" says he, "but the Nc
Kinley administration has prov
ed the contrary to every think
ing man. A number of my neigh
bors join me in saying that this
year we are going to vote for
Bryan. We will not vote for
Calderhead either. To be brief
about the matter, we are going
to vote the reform ticket com
plete this year. We are tired OF
promises that are never kept. -

BENEVOLENT assimilation,

lipinos killed, 1O,7SO; wounded

1O,414; prisoners now in our
possession, about 1000. MAC
ARrHER. The upwards of ten
thousand killed will never know
how good this christian nation
really is. According to ortho-
dox ideas they were (being igno-
rant heathen) sent straight to
hell before they had an oppor-
tunity to know how hard the
good republican party is work
ing to "benevolently assimilate''
them. The upwards OF, two
thousand wounded heather are
bordering over the lesson as
they nurse their wounds; while
over ten thousand captured and
surrendered, together with the
hundreds of thousands of other
native Fillipinoes who have not
rubbed up against Uncle Sam,
may yet be given an opportuni-
ty to become "benevOlently as
simulated" by the lead and pow
der, shot and shell method, or
through the influence of Ameri-
can beer and whiskey. AS a
christian nation we're a lulu.

abandoned as not worth proving up

that the owners thereof will be paid
full value for the same.
There will doubtless be much liti9a'

While Mr.. Duval did not receive the
nomination Of both the democratic and

is in reality the fusion candidate, for

and from the interest manifested in

populists, we believe large majority
OF that party will give him support.

We Register a Kick.

In behalf of q long suffering public

against the Editor of the Beacon for

patrons of that office have been school.
ing themselves to spirit of resigna-
ton; cultivating feeling of charity
and "benevolently assimilating' them>
selves to- conditions as they found
them, believing that there will come
q time some day" when there would
be opportunity for q change. The
public has been patient and long suf-
fering, but the public now gets up on
its hind heels and bowls, because, for~
sOoth, the editor OF the Beacan, by
hauling the P. M. over the Goals for
sins of commission and omission, has
caused the aforesaid P. M. to with,
draw himself from sight on the Sab
bath day, and open his Office only one
hour-and that hour from IL to /,
when most people are at dinner.
We sincerely fear that if the Beacon
continues to harrow the feeling Of oul
retiring and modest p. M. by further
structures upon his official actions. he
the p. NJ. may take a notion to pro.
hibit the mails from entering the town
at all during the remaining year of his
official duties. Some people can wait
day. or q week. or rerchance q
month for mail; but yearl Now Mr.
Beacon, don't be too hard on the
Judge, for you don't know what be
may do next.
