1t was not necessary for the delegate
from Washington county, in second
ing the nomination of Colonel Pearre,
to remind the Convention that the Re-
publicans of said county were fickle,as
that fact is apparent to all observing
persons, and the chairman of the
Convention was living and moving

licanism in that neck of the woods.
His:illutration'of the large and magnif-

professional could play, would in

is party of men and not of princi-
pies.
And Allegany, which expects at
least eight hundred or a thousand
Republican majority for it's favorite
son from these grand old mountains,
refused to do us the empty honor of
casting her vote for Col. A. g. Stur-
giss, when that act would have re-
suited in nothing more than CARROTS
candidate receiving nine votes
against fifteen for Noyes and Wine
brenner, but even this little courtesy
was denied us by those who have
professed to be our friends.
We were Inundated in receiving
three votes only out of twenty-four,
and these were cast by our own
delegation.
Allegany, where is your gratitude,
and what can you expect from us,
with such treatment staring us in the
face?

THE insurrection in the Philippines
could be suppressed in mighty short
order were it not for the encourage
ment the Filipinos receive from Mr..
Bryan and his party. They are led
to believe that Bryan will be elected
President and that he will recognize
them as insurgents and withdraw the
United States army. Acting under
this belief they are stimulated to per-
sist in the rebellion that is costing
the lives of many American patriots,
and all on account of the vaporings
of the demagogues at home.

Next to the wage Garner, the class
most benefited by the revival of pros
perity under Republican admins
tration are the farmers The general
rise in prices in all agricultural pro-
ducts has transformed their industry
from depression to thrift. Experts
have estimated that the products of
agriculture last year were worth a
billion and half of dollars more than
any year during the Cleveland Will
son depression from 1892 to 1896. This
is an average increase of 81 per cent.
Live stock in general has gained in
value 80 per cent, and crops show an
increase of % per cent. The products
of live stock, including meats, dairy
products, etc., have increased 40 per
cent over the lowest point during the
period mentioned. Horses have in
creased one-third, cattle about 40 per
cent, and sheep have about doubled
in value. In values of farm lands
tnere is decidedly upward tendency
and sales are far more numerous, as
a result of better prices for farm
products, and the number and
amount of mortgages are materially
decreased.
A brighter day has dawned for the
farmers of America, and the restless,
panicky class of agriculturists who
in 1896 were prone to believe in free
silver as panacea for their ills, are
now contented and happy and con-

that sound money and confidence are

Democratic Expansion.

quently commented upon, but brief
review of the history of expansion
considered in connection with certain
Democratic assertions may not be
amiss. The Democratic party, under
the leadership of Bryan, claims to

pure and undetiled exponent of true
Democratic principles. The blot of
Clevelandism, say the Bryanites, and
the hiatus during which the party
followed false gods are things of the
past, and the Democracy of today
abides by the tenets of it's founders.
Such an assertion is equivalent to
saying that since 1896 the Democratic
party has adhered to those principles
it espoused during the years from
1903 to 1860.
In those years the Democratic
party was the party of expansion, as
the following record of the extension
of our boundaries will show:
1903-Lousiana purchase, area, $685.
166, $50 acres.
1605-11-19 - Oregon annexation,
area, 1874, 76O, $50 acres.
1S14-19-Florida conquest, area, "A, :
$50, 900 acres.
1S35-45-Texas annexation, area,
242, 235, $40 acres.
1S4S-Mexican conquest, area, 1884,
443, $50 acres.
1S53-Gadsden purchase, area, 49,
142, 400 acres.
This is the record of our expansion
up to the time we acquired Alaska,
but in 1860 the Democratic party de-
manded the control of Cuba. In
every instance above cited, save that
of Texas, the territory was covered
into our boundaries and the people
brought under our government abso-
lutely without regard to the consent
of the governed" a theory about
which we hear much these days.
All of this was accomplished by the
Democracy during those years in
which the principle to which the
modern Democracy claims to have
reverted prevailed. Nothing could
more clearly demonstrate Democratic
inconsistency on this subject than
the above citation of the Democracy's
own achievements in the direction of
expansion.
But the party of Bryan endeavors
to avoid the charge of inconsistency
by asserting that it annexed only con-
tiguous territory. The effort is
shallow one when the facts and cir
cumstances are considered. The
Philippines are closer to our seat of
government today than the louisiana
territory was in 1903, when Jefferson
bought it. They are, too, more
easily to be brought under our form
of government and made amenable to
our institutions than were the inhab-
itants of the Louisiana purchase in
1903. Nor will their subjugation call
for the expenditure of one-tenth the
blood and treasure we spent and are
still spending on the territory west of
the Mississippi. The fact of the mat
ter is that the Democratic party is
opposed to expansion now, merely be-
cause our new territory has been
brought in under a Republican ad-
ministration. Freed from partisan
humbuggery, expansion is and always
has been a Democratic policy. In
these days, when we are so much
more able to govern foreign territory
than we were while the Democracy
was extending our boundaries, it
would be gratifying to see the Demo
cratic party adhering to the prin-
ciples of Jefferson and Jackson in
fact, as well as in theory. If it only
would, it's honesty would be its most
striking characteristic.

Broken the accord.
r. g. Dun Il Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: New business for manufac-
turers this year has been light in some
branches and much below the production
last month. 1t is perhaps too often for
gotten that industries start this year with
larger contracts ahead than ever before,
and when half the work Of the whole
year has been ordered in advance there
cannot continue quite the same activity
in new buying. The wooden manufacture
er has just opened new season with
the largest TRANSACTIONS ever known in
a single week, it is said, but in most 9TH
er lines contracts previously booked
would make similar activity impossible.
Yet there is seen enough of hesitation
caused By advanced prices to make mac
tivity trying. Ironland steel prices have
been yielding for several weeks, and are
shade loyer for products than at any
other time since the middle Of September.
Wheat has advanced to 757s cents, with

The war news for which the people of
England had been waiting in agonizing
suspense came Sunday in the shape of
dispatch from Gen. Butler and told
of the retreat of the British army across
the Tugela river and the story of Spion
kop. The dispatch is dated at Spear
mans Camp and reads as follows:
''On. Jan. 20 Warren drove back the
enemy and obtained possession of the
southern crests of the high table land eX-
tending from the line of Acton Homes
and Honger's Poort to the western Lady.
smith hills. From then to Jan. 20 he re-
manned in close contact with the enemy.
''The enemy held a strong position on a
range Of small kopjes stretching from
northwest to southeast across the pla-
tcau from Acton Homes, through Spion
Kop, to the left bank OF the Tugela. The
actual position held was perfectly tena-
bic, but did not lend itself to an advance,
as the southern slopes were SO steep that
Warren could not get an effective artil-
lery position, and water supply was
difficulty
ION jar. % I assented to his attacking
Spion Kon large hill, indeed noun
tain, which was evidently the key of the
position, but was far more accessible
from the north than from the south. On
the night of Jan. % he attacked Spion
Kop, but found it very difficult to hold,
as its perimeter was too large, and wa
ter, which he had been led to believe ex-
listed, i'll this extraordinarily dry season
was found very deficient.
THE crests were held all that day
against severe attacks and heavy shell
fire. Our men fought with great gal
lantry. l would especially mention the
conduct of the Second Cameronians and
the Third Kings Rifles, who supported
the attack on the mountain from the
steepest side and in each case fought
their way to the top, and the Second Lam
cashire Fusiliers and Second Middlesex,
who magnifcently maintained the best
traditions of the British army through
out. the trying day Of Jan. "A, and Thor
nycroft's mounted infantry, who fought
throughout the day equally well along
side of them.
Gen. Woodgate, who was in COM
mand ut the summit, having been wound
ed, the officer who succeeded him decided
on the night of Jan. "A to abandon the
position, and did so before dawn Jan. %.
Il reached Warren's camp at a. m.
on Jan. 20 and decided that second at
tack upon Spion Kop was useless and
that the enemy's right was too strong to
allow me to force it. Accordingly / de-
cided to withdraw the force to the south
of the Tugela. A few hours afterward
we commenced withdrawing the train,
and in thirty-eight hours Warren's force
was concentrated south of the Tugela
without the loss of man or a pound Of
stores.
The fact that the force could with
draw from actual touch-in some cases
the lines were less than a thousand yards
apart-with the enemy, in the manner it
did, is, / think, sufficient evidence of the
morale of the troops, and that we were
permitted to withdraw our cumbrous OK

an unknown man at Holden, Mo. Supt.
ID. Hardy Of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way had learned that an attempt would
be made TO rob the express car on the
east-bound Missouri Pacific train for St.
Louis. 4 posse was organized in Sc

cial train for Warrensburg, where the
sheriff and special officers were taken
aboard. Supt. Hardy's information was
that the hold-up was to take place near
Doran. When the train reached Holden
the officers were informed that the sus-
pected men were at a resort, and it was
decided to arrest them then, as it was
believed enough evidence had been Sc
