Hits the Nail on the Head.

United States Senator, James X.
Jones, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, just before
he started from Little Rock, Ark.
for Washington, D. c., said in an
interview:
"Mr. Bryan is great man.
Whether he will be a candidate for
the Presidency in the near future
remains to be seen, but it is not
probable that he will 1t is more
reasonable to presume that he
would decline the nomination, even
should it be offered to him.
Reorganization? 0, that's all
nonsense. There's nothing in it,
and it will blow over in thirty days.
1t is precipiated by those who de-
serted the party and gave aid and
comfort to the enemy, and does not
represent the strength or the spirit
of the genuine Democracy. Ifthere
is to be a reorganization of the
National committee or platform it
cannot be done for four years, or
until the next national convention
AS to the issues, they must depend
largely upon the national and inter
national developments of the next

"SH0RE ACRES.n

The beautiful drama of American
home life, Shore Acres was presented
at the Opera House last evening for a
second time and drew nearly rs large
an audience as when the company APP
peared here early in the season. Many
who attended before enjoyed the play
again last night. The play itself is one
of the best that has been placed upon
the American stage of late years, and it
is so natural and home-like that one
cannot help but lore il and the eharac-
tiers who act its parts. There was some
change in the east last evening bnt it
did not effect the show in the least.

side of American country life and viii

Stand by the President.

President Mckinley has given
Gen. Macarthur to understand that
there is to be no more nonsense. 1t
is we'll The patience of the presi-
dent has been really surprising.
The history of last years army OPP
erations in the Philippines has been
disgraceful. At least three sets of
commissioners have been sent there
by the president at different times
to examine and report conditions.
They all went to the city of Manila
and remained there several weeks
performing their duty. They all
returned home and made their sew
eral reports. Their reports all
agree that the Filipinos are prac-
tically unanimous in wishing to be-
come colonies OF the United States
and that there is no organized oppo-
sition to American rule in the is
lands except a few robber bands.
Gen. Macarthur has sent reports
regularly every month to the War
department. And his reports in
dictate a very different condition
from that reported by these com
missioners. The American people,
who are raying the enormous ex-
pense of keeping an army of 20, 900
soldiers in that distant country can
see no sense in keeping it there if
there is no war, and nothing more
formidable than d few robber bands
to oppose it. Yet the army has
been kept there for the past two
years. Who is right, Gen. Near
thur or the president? Stand by
the president, say we. He must be
right. The commissioners, who
unanimously agreed upon the rob
Der band" idea, were all good men
and true. Not a democrat among
them. Besides they were well paid.
And, above all the great American
people have given their verdict that
the president is right. There is no
war in the PHILIPPINE islands, and
has been none for at least year.
The soldiers are being kept there
solely in order that a lot of super
fuous Generals, Colonies etc. may
keep ther positions and draw pay.
Stand by the president. We do
not mean that people should go to
Washington and get into the White
house and stand up beside him.
There are several obvious objections
to that, especially if carried out
persistently, for, as the poet said
''There are moments when one
wants to be alone What we
mean is that we should stand by
the president in a moral sense, and
with all possible activity of meta
morphosis.

THE Wausau PILOT was full of in
formation about election prophets
some time since. Is there any of it
left over2-LaCrosse Chronicle.
Yes, Bro. Usher, we have that
one made by you when chairman of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, when you predicted that
Wisconsin would roll up something
ike $4,000 democratic majority,
and was so sure about it, that your
friends dropped all their surplus
funds in backing you up, but you
were a poor prophet and your friends
lost. Good day. Come again.

ASSISTANTS WANTED

1t is almost certain that the county
superintendent of schools of Wisconsin
will try to have the coming legislature
pass a law creating the position of as
sistant superintendent of schools in the
larger counties of the state.
The question will be one of the prin-
cipal topics discussed at the meeting Of
the County superintendent associa-
tion in this city on Dec. 20 and 81, and
upon the decision reached at this meet
ing will depend the action of the super
intendents in placing the subject before
the legislature.
The form in which it will come be-
fore the superintendent association
will be:
/. Is such an officer needed in coun-
ties having a large number of schools?
?. How should he be placed in posi-
ton?
3. What should be his qualifications
and duties?
In this discussion the details of the
bill which may be submitted to the
legislature will be decided upon.
Many of the county superintendent,
in fact most of them, favor the creation
of the new Office. They point out that
superintendent who has over 100
schools under his jurisdiction cannot
we'll visit each school once a month,
which they claim a superintendent
should do to keep proper supervision
over the work of the schools.
There are some Of the counties in
the state which have almost 300 schools
under the county superintendent, and
it is utterly impossible for an official
with that number of schools to do his
work in proper and efficient manner
without assistance. Grant county, for
example, has 2S4 schools, and Dodge
has as large or a larger number.
Then there are counties with so great
an area that 10 cover the ground more
than one man is necessary. Chippewa
county is tifty-four miles long and forty
two miles wide, and Marathon county
is the same length and thirty miles
wide. Both counties are larger than
the entire state of Rhode Island. Clark
county is forty-two by thirty miles in
size.
Il has been suggested that superin-
tepdents should not have over 100
schools to take care of, and that for
each additional 100 or major fraction
thereof they should be allowed one
deputy. The deputy should be APP
painted by the superintendent, subject
TO certain requirements as to qualifca-
tiens aud training. Whether these will
be the Outlines of the bill will be de-
eided at the superintendents meeting.
The superintendent will also discuss
two other subjects aS that meeting: one
with regard 10 the conditions of the
granting of certificates to teachers in.
the district and graded schools and 10
superintendent Of graded schools. and
the other regarding the holding Of
teachers institutes. Milwaukee Daily

THIRD OAVALRY'S WORK.
Interesting Report Concerning OPP
crnti0ns In Northwestern LuzOn.

crations In Northwestern LuzOn.
Washington. July 13.-The war depart
ment has received an interesting report
from Captain George A. Dodd, Third
cavalry, in regard to operations i'll north
western Luzon with Troop L of that regi-
ment from April s to May 3 last. This
troop enjoys an enyiable reputation for
expert horsemanship and military drill
in this country, having participated in
various military tournaments at Madison
Square Garden at New York, and coming
out with flying colors in each.
Captain Dodd's force, consisting OF 81
men and 93 horses, left Vigan, the capital
of Ilocos Sur province, on April 8, and
headed northward. Early on the morn
ing of the 18th inst. his command en-
countered a large party of insurgents
under Gregorio Aglipay in the mountains
near Badoc. In a fierce fight, lasting an
hour, 40 insurrectos were killed, four
were mortally wounded and Al were
made prisoners. The affray took place in
thick jungle, which made the move
ments of the soldiers very difficult.
The command then proceeded to hunt
down a large body of insurgents, which
were believed to be somewhere in the vi
cinity of Badoc. At daylight on the 25th
inst, they met their quarry, and another
sharp engagement took place. The bolo-
men are said to have fought with great
ferocity, and the troopers We're obliged
to put aside their carbines and close in
with their revolvers in hand to hand
fighting.
In this fight 100 insurgents were killed
outright and five captured with rifles and
horses. Captain Dodd's only casualty
was spear wound, suffered by Ser
geant f. Il. Coppeck in the fighting at
close quarters.
This engagement, says the report, prac-
tically squelched an attempted uprising
in Ilocos Norte, and the next day the
Filipinos were again at work in the fields.
Captain Dodds command arrived back
at Vigan on. May 3, having covered a
distance of 435 miles. u
Captain Dodd highly commends the
conduct during this expedition of Lieu
tenants Chitty, Mckinley and McNally;
also of Sergeant Il. II. Coppeck, Corporal
Robert J. Walker, Private Felix McCue,
Private D. S. Murdock, Acting First Ser

emperor of China was intercepted order
ing the Chinese troops to unite with the
Boxers.
Subsequently the governor moukden in

nese and that all Russians must per.
manently leave Manchuria. The engi-
neers' protests and urgings that the gov

Russians at Port Arthur to annihilate the
Boxers did not avail, and the Chinese
troops continued to mass until the rising
