terest in it's financial affairs. The. Pa
irons OF Husbandry represent the far
mers in aggregate form, and it is
proper that they should voice the SEN
timents OF the taxpayers in the rural
districts. West Brandywine Grange is
leading the fight against the present
Democratic Levy Court. No doubt its
action will be followed by other
oranges in the county. for the condi-
tions are such that the farmers should
be aroused fully to the abuses which
have been practiced in the expenditure
Of the money which they contributed
under the tax levy. II the grangers in
the First. Fourth and Fifth Levy

dictd to the preservation Of their records,
no matter how unimoortant. Down in
Albay province our troops recently found
the yearly financial statement Of the rebel
government. While it is thought its fig
ures are untrue, it is interesting as an
example of how the rebels do business
and maintain their prestige among their
people. In the balance sheet for 1S99-19OO
the insurgent minister of finance states
that during the year 1S9e-1S97 the expenses
of the Spanish government in administer
ing affair amounted to s17.47402o, Next
can, but thanks to the capacity of the
revolutionary leaders, the total expendi-
lures of theinsurgent government for last
year only amounted to $685., 407. All this
cconomy was effected while the Ma1iia
customs house, most lucrative source Of
income, was in tn hands OF the Ameri-
cans. It was promised that as soon as
the rebels gained possession Of Manila,
which would be in few weeks, they
coulG manifestly reduce the rate of tax

Ohio Democrats May Indorse

FOR THE SECOND PLACE

Would Accept.

Columbus, O., June 1.-THE democratic
row. It was at one time proposed TO hold
the convention last week, but some Of
the subscribers to the Dewey celebration
fund objected, and the plan was aban-
doned. The Dewey decorations, exterior
and interior, however, still remain all over
the city. The hotels have large portraits
of Dewey displayed. and none Of the dem
ocratic heroes except Bryan. There is
much talk about Bryan and Dewey being
nominated at Kansas City. John r. Nc
Lean has announced that he must sail
for Europe with his family next Saturday
and that he cannot attend the convention
in Columbus this week. Mr.. Mclean does
not expect to return in time to attend the
Kansas iCty convention. He would be
placed at the head of the Ohio delega-.
ton to Kansas City if he would give his
but he declines absolutely. Those
who propose the combination of Bryan
and Dewey believe that there is no doubt
about the admirars accepting. There is
some diversity Of opinion as to whether
his convention should take the initial
step in endorsing Dewey as well as Bryan
-or the national ticket. 4
The officers to be nominated in tomor-
'ow's convention are secretary Of state,
larry and food commissioner, member Of
