10 the only state which has given its
soldiers fighting in the Philippines an
opportunity to exercise the right Of SUI
frage, There are more than 10000 vol
unteers in the Philippines and about
1900 regulars. 1t is estimated that
about 1000 men enlisted from New York
state, and If any of the congressional
election Districts are close. especially
those In the vicinity Of Fort Niagara,
where the Forty-second regiment was
recruited. the vote OF the soldiers in
the Philippines will have an important
effect. Officials Of the war department
say that the Federal government could
take no action to insure the voting Of
the troops in foreign service. This was
a matter 1t was said. which the states
themselves should have attended to.

STAYING AT home
Was One Of the Best Things the
President Did For
Himself.

The Cincinnati Enquirer rather
agrees that President Mckinley did the
best thing that he could have done. un-
der the circumstances. by staying here
in Canton during the campaign. and
saying nothing. The doubt 10 expressed
whether Mr.. Bryan did himself any
good by going about the country
rpeech- making. The Enquirer says:
The result OF the election Will be ac-
cepted by many a. q vindication OF the
policy Of silence on the part Of a nomi-
nee for president Of the United States
The questions at issue lin the recent
campaign were regarded as OF the ut
most Importance. and the briIliancy Of
Mr.. Bryan's tour must be conceded on
oil hands. He discussed matters elo-
quently and on broad ground. His ain-
cerity was undoubted and his reception
in all parts Of the country was enthusi-
astic. President Mckinley said moth
ing; or. at best. he engaged only In
etock phraseology that would not bear
analysis. The Republican candidate for
vice-president would have done more
for his ticket had he been as reserved
as the chief. Out OF all this comes the
conclusion that Mr.. Mckinley has
saved hts breath. and great deal Of
wear and tear on his physical organ
ization. and is still elected. Here 10
another evidence of the skill and wis
dom OF the Republican managers. which
come from their long dominance In
government control, and the ample ma
terial resources they are always able to
bring to bear In a campaign. They
knew that It would not do to enter Mr..
Mckinley against Colonel Bryan In an
oratorical race against the kaleilo-
scopic adoption OF tho brilliant Nebras-
kan to circumstances. They knew they
could not afford to pit the stilted rope
tition of q campaign speech of tho Nc
Kinley pattern. So. instead OF putting
the president on the stump they put him
on his dignity. We may never see an
other campaign in which the nominee
for president will meet the people face
to face.

Friday morning, in court room No. 2
Judge I, II. Taylor delivered what, Is
pronounced by attorneys. an exhaustive
ana able bpfhfofi IN the case brought BY
the city OF Alliance against eolon g.
Thayer, Richard Roe. ct al. represent
ing the United States Telephone COM
pany, to have q temporary injunction
issued to estop the company from build
ing their hne Into the city until the
question Of the validity Of the ordinance
granting the franchise was settled.
1t was claimed on the part Of the city
that three certain amendments to the
ordinance were offered after the first
after these amendments were offered,
which were material in their nature.
the ordinance was read but twice In
stead of three times, as required by
law. At,, ..,t, -....
The matter was argued before Judge
Taylor about two weeks ago, Rogers
q Thayer representing the city OF Al
lance. and Baldwin G. Shields the tele-
phone company.
In passing upon the case Friday
morning, Judge Taylor held that but
one of the amendments entered into the
matter. and that was the one making
the $4,000 bond given by the company
liquidating damages In case the conf
pany sold out to the Bell or Central
Union company. This being a material
amendment. and 1t being admitted that
the ordinance had been read but twice
after its insertion. the court held that
the ordinance was not lawfully passed,
and he therefore granted the tempor-
ary injunction.
The other two amendments offered
were: first, that the company should
furnish the city of Alliance free tele-
phone service In the city and county
and also to SehrIng, Mahoning county,
and, second, that II furnish eleven tele-
phones for the city's public schools.
In passing upon these two amend
ments Judge Taylor said that the city
had no right to make such exactions of
the company. as they were illegal and
unjust demands and that the company
would have a right to reject them. for
the reason that this was but an indirect
way Of receiving compensation for the
granting of q franchise. which is In
direct violation Of the statutes.
He also held that the city had no right
to attempt 20 fix toll rates, and said
that 1t was q councils duty to encour-
age any competition that looked to-
ward the public good. instead Of try
ing to stifie II in the interests Of indi-
viduals.
The attorneys OF the company an
nounce that new ordinance will be
introduced in the council at Alliance
and every care will be taken to see
that 1t is legally passed.
The company has line completed to
the city limits and has established toll
Ane. and everything is ready to wire
the city just as soon as the franchise II
granted. -

against the Filipinos as peo-

defensive, against the Filipinos as peo-
pie. The Filipinos number probably ten
millions Of people and two millions Of
men capable of bearing arms. If they
were united in war against us, the little
army which we have there would scarce
~ be circumstance in their way. But
the majority Of the Filipinos are quiet,
docile people, not disposed to fight and
not engaged in the insurrection now prac-
tically quelled. Aguinaldo had -compar-
atively few supporters outside of his own
tribe, the Tagalogs, who comprise prob
ably one-tenth of the whole mass of Fill
pinos. He, in his mad effort for abso-
lutte rule, attacked the forces Of the Unit
ed States, and we were compelled to quell
the instruction.
8. The United States troops are in the
philippines for the protection Of the peo-
pie from murder, rapiRe and misrule, and
Tor the preservation of law, order and
property rights. For many years there
have been robber bands in the mountains
who would from time to time light down
upon the villages and rob and murder the
people. The Spaniards paid no attention
to the interior. but protected only the
coast. Last spring one Of these bands
attacked Filipino village and, in addi-
ton to the robbery and killing, carried
away thirty Filipino women to the hills.
Two companies Of United States soldiers
pursued them, attacked and dispersed the
band, and restored the women to their
friends. We are bringing to these islands
true liberty, Liberty protected by law"
4: The possession and control of these
islands came to us providentially, unex-
pectedly and unsought. They are ours
by treaty, and a treaty which Mr.. Bry-
an approved. We are responsible to the
nations of the earth and to the Judge
OF all the earth for their care We &C.
cept the responsibility in the fear of God
and the love Of humanity. I may not live
to see it, my boy, but if you live twenty
years you will see the most marvellous
Development in the worlds history in the
Philippines. Good roads, good schools,
the development Of agriculture, manufac-
lures and mining, the Introduction Of
American push and energy among the
people, railroads. and a hundred other
means Of transformation. You will see
there twenty millions of contented and
prosperous people who will rejoice in
their liberty and their privileges and be
proud Of their relations to the greatest
of all nations, the United States of Amer
lea. And then, my boy, every Democrat
in America will swear that he always
was in favor Of that thing and that he
was ever an expansionist Of the first
water. YOUR FATHER.

HUGO DENKENSPRUCT.
A Wisconsin Farmer and Ex-Justice
of the Peace to His Nephew.

Yes, Jonathan, that Indianapolis
speech as you say, is very fine and lots
of it. Mr.. Bryan is schmart man
enough, but I kvit him for the sake Of
his sixteen to one" humbug, and the
demonstration at Indianapolis makes me
kvit him more. He says he was right
then and the people wrong, and that lie
is right now and the good people must
now apologize by electing him President.
The other fellows in the convention at
Kansas City have not so much faith, but
they have hopes, so they compromise
with Mr.. Bryan and raise a crop Of ca
lamity imperialism mixed with the six
teen to one" old seed, saying to them
selves, "Where one don't grow the other
will"
Did you ever try to drive in the barn
with your hay-load too big on one side
too much haw on one side and too much
wheels on the other? Yes, you did: and
you didn't say, "Uncle Hugo, we needn't.
unload, all we do is to back out and
paramount another big lot of hay on the
other side; then we drive in the barn all
right"
Twill tell you little true story which
reminds me Of this loading up at Kansas
City with the reaffirmation business and
the paramount Imperialism" on the top.
GERMAN INDEPENDENCE.
A very nice talking man called on my
father one day to enkvire for sheep and
calves to buy. They soon struck bar
gain in which he was to pay twenty dol
lars for two calves and six sheep. That
was before greenbacks. He offered my
father twenty dollar bill, but as he was
afraid Of wild cat money" there was
plenty of it in those days. my father said
he wanted hard money. After much nice
talk from the man my father said: mo,
I rather have the sheep and calves"
Then the man went on with his fine talk
and complimented the Germans, saying
pleasant things about the German indie
pendence OK character
So they were about to part on friendly
terms when the dealer took an awful
kvick fancy to one of our horses. Pretty
soon bargain was struck for one hun
dred dollars. When the buyer came to
pay, however, he pulled out eighty dol
lars in silver and gold and that same
twenty dollar bill. Then there was talk
till you couldn't rest. but my father said
at last: No, / rather have the horse
The stranger answered: We'll, i give
you my note for the bill. but my father
