When the war with Spain broke out
and gallant Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Of
Alabama, came forward to offer to
fight for the flag against which he had
once fought so persistently for long
years. we thought 1t a fine act, and our
respect for him has grown while watch
ing his brave and loyal conduct In Gu
ba and Luzon. And now he comes for
show how much he is entitled 10 re-,
spect. A great many Of his admirers
have mentioned him as a suitable can
didate for vice president, in reply to
which the old general says:
The greatest ambition of my life has
already been realized. have seen
those who were once confederate SOL
diers fight under the Stars and Stripes
against foreign foes as soldiers of the
United States. I have seen the masses
of the people of all the southern states
eagerly and earnestly offer their serv-
ices to fight in the country's cause, and
have seen them thus become partici-
pants in the events which have sudden
ly made ours the leading among the
great powers of the world, and opened
avenues which enable us to establish the
most favorable commercial relations
with countries containing nearly one
third the eartt's population. The reai-
.atzion OF conditions so advantageous to
our country fills the measure of my de-
sire, and beyond that I have no ambi-
ton whatever
These are fine utterances, which de-
serve the grateful approval of his, coun-
.trymen. There is no vanity, no self
praise in them. They are the words of a
manly patriot who by his example as a
volunteer soldier of the republic has
given noble testimony to the spirit of
American unity and brotherhood. OF the

the defense of the flag at the nation 8

grateful appreciation of the country

FARM PROFITS.

-
Any man Who improved a farm in
Franklin county twenty to thirty years
ago, and not living on it, and has relied
upon the rental for an income. knows
that it is only within a very few years
that 1t has been possible to realize any
returns. as it was generally necessary to
put back upon the farm in improve
ments about all received from it in rent.
To be sure there is once in a while a
landlord who is a natural born Skin
ner, and may have managed to get a
percentage of returns by eating up their
tenants and PICKING their bones clean.
but the average nonresident land own
er hereabouts has derived his only
profit from his real estate investments.
in the rise of the value Of the land. We
think that nine tenths of the comnuni-
5ty, both landlords and tenants, will bear
us out in this assertion.

Henry Bingham of Pennsylvania,
who is father of the house." since
the death of Representative Harmer,
began his service in the Forty-sixth
congress and has served continuously
for twenty years. Both in length
and priority of service Mr.. Bineha m
is exceeded by Mr.. Cannon of Illinois,
chairman OF the appropriations COM
mittee, who was first elected to the
Forty third congress and who is now
serving his thirteenth term. but his
term was not continuous, as he failed
40 reelection in the Fifty Second con
gress.
Mr.. Grow of Pennsylvania, the
venerable ex-speaker is the oldest
member. He first came to congress
in 1851, but there was a long hiatus
in his service from 1868 to 1895.
The distinction of father of the
house belongs to him who has served
longest continuously.

COOK PREDICTS SUCCESS
Chairman Declars With Bayan Dem
Ocrdts Will Surley Win.

Mexico, No, March S.-Chairman
Sam Cook seems TO be delighted with
the work of the committee at Kansas
City. He came home and to-day
printed III the lntelligencer double
loaded editorial in which he said
The Missouri democrats will lead
III the great battle for state and nat
ional supremacy. Four years ago
when the democracy was divided
and a national administration cleo
ted by democratic votes was using
it's immense patronage i'll aid of Mark
Hanna, Missouri was unfaltering to
principal and won the proud distin-
elton of being the first democratic
state in the union. This year the
Missouri democracy will attest their
devotion to Bryan and the principles
of true democracy by increased ma
jority. 1t has been wisely determined
to make the state campaign the
most aggressive in the history of the
party. 1t was also wise to increase
the representation to the state NOM
mating convention. The basis of
representation chosen will make a
convention of over 1000 delegates
and will be the greatest representa-
tive convention ever held in Missouri.
THE bringing together of this
great body OF representative dem
ocrats can not fail to result in increas-
ed party activity throughout the
state. With Bryan as the leader,
on an honest, resolute platform, and
q state ticket such az this convention
will nominate, Missouri will increase
her ma lority to iull 100, 900"

ORDERED HERE FROM LUZON.


Washington, March S.-By direc-
ton Of the acting secretary of war.
Mr.. Meikleiohn, instructions have
been sent to Ma iOr General Otis, to
return TO the United States some
time in May one battalion each of
the Fourteenth, Eighteenth and
Twenty third infantry.
The withdrawal OF these troops
was recommended by Major General
Miles several months ago. Hepoint-
ed out to the department that the
three regiments designated would
have been two years in the Philip
pines in June next. There is no
doubt that the decision of the de-
partment to withdraw three battal-
ions, which number more than POO
men, is influenced to some extent by
the disOrganiZatiOn of the rebel army
and the prospect that the American
troops will no longer meet with re-
sistance from an organized force
Notwithstanding the action of the
department in ordering home these
battalions, officers who have served
in the Philippines and who have Just
returned, say that this must not be
taken to mean that the rebellion has
been suppressed. The insurgents are
operating in small forces, which
scatter at the approach of American
troops, but reassemble and attack
whenever a good opportunity pre-
sents itself.
A well known officer in Luzon, in
writing to friend in this city, gives
it as his opinion that the rebellion
will not be entirely suppressed in less
than ten years.
