A TRIBUTE TO THE BoERs.

Henry Hales, a correspondent of the

ARE our IDOLS FALLENs

There are Surface indications that
some of the idols of the nation are in
danger of falling from their lofty ped
estals, If they have not already done
so in the minds of some of the elements
of the g. o. p. One example is that II
the Chicago Marquette Club, which
celebrated the birthday Of Lincoln, but
yet omitted any reference whatever to
the memory, the life or the deeds of the
great President, and this episode, re-
markable as it was, has been emulated
by the Hamilton Club, which had a
banquet with much wine, in comment
grafton of Appomatox day, but only
one casual reference to Grant was made
by one of the speakers. At the Mar
quette Club banquet the entire time OF
the orators appears to have been taken
up with eulogistic remarks upon the
life and career of Mckinley, and the
consecrated Cantonian utterly dwarfed
the quiet simplicity, steadfast loyalty
and eminent public services of the mar
tyr The Hamilton Club, not being a
distinctive political organization, was
quite as bad, but in another way. There
was less of Mckinley eulogism, but
more of the disposition to await de-
velopments of political nature, but
Grant cut no figure at any stage. And
both Lincoln and Grant were Repub-
lican Presidents!

OUR COAL IN DEMAND.

The extraordinary and unprecedent-
ed industrial activity in the Pittsburg
district and Western Pennsylvania
generally has resulted in an abnormal
demand for coal. and the miners of
that region, even working to their
fullest capacity, have been unable to
meet all requirements, and a fuel fam
inc has been feared for some time past.
To avert such contingency and en-
sure the steady running of all indus
tries, the coal operators of the Pitts
burg district have closed a contract
for an auxiliary supply Of half mill
ion tons of West Virginia coal, with
a proviso that this amount may be
increased to one million tons, if need
ed. This is one of the largest coal con-
tracts ever made, and ensures unusual
activity in the West Virginia mining
regions during the spring, summer and
fall. The delivery of this coal is to
be made on call during the Scale year
ending April l, 1901, and the first
shipments, it is predicted, will be
made almost Immediately. The half
million tons will put 100000 in the
pockets of West Virginia mine own
ers, while the railroads will be great
bcnefciaries.

Letter From Philippines.

Letter from Pntifppfnes.
James H. McClelland has just receiv-
ed a letter from his brother William,
who is in the Twelfth U. S. l., now To-
Gated in Victoria, Luzon, in the Phil
ippines. The letter is very interesting
He states they have had good weather
for three months and that it had not
rained for four weeks. The natives
during this good weather were busy
harvesting their rice, which he said
reminded him of harvesting wheat or
oats, but that the greatest sight was to
see the Filipino market He describes
young native girl coming along with
half bushel basket on her head and
a large cigar in her mouth, and when
you pass them they always say good
morning" with a smile that would
stop an eight day clock. The market
is just an open field, and each one who
has goods to sell stops and deposits
them on the sides OF the path and the
buyer passes between. They have fish,
bananas, eggs, nuts, rice, tomatoes,
sugar and many other goods. All are
very cheap compared to this country,
and you can always tell merchant by
his long thumb nail ON his left hand,
which is generally about one inch long
In speaking of the native cooking,
which he has not fallen in love with,
they first cook some fish, which they
never think of cleaning, and then some
rice, and they take piece of fish and
roll it around in the rice and then eat
it. Another dish is rice and sweet
potatoes, both cooked together. This
is what the people live on, and when
young man gets married he lays
around and CANDLES, the main sport
being chicken fighting. One can see
pits everywhere, and on Sunday you
will see sporting men going out to
gamble on the fights, probably spend
ing the money his Te;fe has made dur
ing the week but they think 1t is all
right. When the Americans occupy a
town they form a civil government and
elect mayor and number of civil
police. The new mayor has large
street parade and gives a large ball,
furnishing band and making grand
celebration. As for farming. it is done
at the beginning of the wet season. as
during the dry season you could not
pillow the ground with a six horse team.
Mr.. McClelland closed by saying that
it is rumored that his company viii
go to Manila during the wet season
and that he will not object, and that
his health is very good.

The Republicans of Bridgeport were
very active yesterday fixing up the
fences for the primaries Saturday,
which will be warmly contested, with
the result in doubt. 1t is a factional
fight and is on the committeeman, in
which one side claims that all candi-
dates must hand their names into the
committee and pay their assessment.
This time expired last evening. The
other side claims any one can be a
candidate and that it is not necessary
to give names to the committee or pay
an assessment. or use the Australian
ballot. The fight is getting very
warm and a good many think. Bridge
port will send two delegations to the
convention, but harmony may yet pre-

THE HORSE IN WAR

1t is computed that England has al
ready sacrificed 10000 horses in South
Africa, and although the great horse
markets of Europe and Asia have been
secured for animals, tens of thousands
having recently been assembled at
Trieste, Austria, for shipment, the sit
uation is so critical that orders have
been given for the purchase of 5000
to $4,000 head in America. These an
imals are to be gathered at Buffalo,
for inspection and shipment to New
York, where it is thought their aver
age cost, including transportation to
the seacoast, will average $3.50, or
about 100000. Then will come the
vast cost Of thirty days voyage to
Cape Town, during which, with the
best of weather. from thirty to fifty
per cent. will die and go overheard,
leaving perhaps $4,000 more or less
seryiceable animals, which must be fed
up and rested before they will he fit
for anything at the front. The loss
in horses in the English army at tle
Cape is estimated at 5000 head per
month, they costing an average OF
$3.50 to $500 each delivered. This is one
form of war waste.

NOT THE RIGHT MEASURE OF
RELIEF.

NOI THE MEASOhh OH
RELIEF.
If it is seriously proposed to repeal
any of the war taxes, why not first re-
move those most burdensome on tie
people, as the bank check, telegraph
and express nuisances. They effect
many people upon many occasions,
while taxes on real estate deeds and
mortgages effect most people only once
in their lives, if then, and the public
at large is not interested. The person
who buys a piece of property or bor-
rows money on bond or mortgage can
afford to pay the tax. for it is com
paratively small matter, and is paid
once only. But some other features of
the war tax are daily and costly nuls-
ances to the public at large. The bill
just introduced into Congress does not
appear to afford the measure of relief
the public desires.

THE KENTUCKY APPEAL.

The appeal of the Republicans from
the Supreme Court of their own State
to the Court of Appeals of the United
States, has met with deservedly scant
encouragement, even from the most
ultra party organs and leaders, be-
cause there is but one inevitable out
come, and that is the utter discomtit-
ure of pretender Taylor. Originally,
perhaps, having cause containing
some merit, Taylor ruined his own
case by his lawlessness and EDITORIAL
course in dispensing the Legislature,
interrupting the course of business,
and in filling the State capital with
armed men who, resorted to murderous
plots and actual assassination with a
recklessness which could not COM
mand the respect or support of any
law-abiding citizen. Taylor was fool
ish from the outset, and soon added
wickedness to his lack of lev0l-headed-
ness. His pretensions are about at an
end, and in thirty days we shall hear
no more of him, and his name will
only survive as a Renaissance and
his career as one not to be emulated
by those who may come after him.
