Pilgrims See Many Strange
Things, But Feel Things
Far Stranger.

Amid the shouts Of exultation
of the acclimated and the groans
and signs and numerous other
uncomfortable expressions of the
timid pilgrims, the Missouri VAL

hazardous journey, barefooted,
across the hot sizzling sands of the
great desert that guards on every

The Chinese Wall.

Everything about China and
her people and country is of great
interest to our people at this time.
Johnson's Cyclopaedia has this To
say about the China Great Wall:
CA remarkable fortifcation con-
structed by order of the celebrn-
ted Emperor Shi-Hang-T, the
first universal Emperor Of China,
for the purpose of protecting the
northern aud northwestern from
tier of his empirs from the lords
of barbarions who then swarmcd
in that part Of Asia. To accom-
plish this great object, he united
the severed defenses which had
been erected for the same purpose
by the feudel prince. Several
million of men, it is said, were oc,
cupied for the space Of ten years,
during which time half q million
of men employed of the work per-
ished. 1t was completed in Oil
B. G. The entire length of the
wall was about 1856 miles, its
heighth being 20 to rs feet, with
towers about 100 yards apart, and
40 feet high. The wall is thick
enough at the summit to admit of
six horemen riding abreast. Each
face of the wall was built of hewn
stone Or brick, with earth filled in
between. The Chinese name for
the wall is Wan-li- Chang Ching,
or ''Ten Thousand Mile Rampant.

Those Dakota Horses.

The Harrison-Findley horse
trial ended Saturday evening in a
divided jury. Mr. Harrison is not
we'll pleased with our style of JUS
tice and will carry the case direct
ly to the district court. The facts
are about as follows: In the fall
of 1898, Durham Findley, former
ly Of this county, but later a ranch
worker in South Dakota, brought
in q car of horses and sold them
out around Mondamin, his former
home. Later Jerry Meats, of Mo-
dale, happened to be out at Belle
Fourche and there saw a brand
similar to the one worn by the
horses Findly had sold here. He
spoke of it and the owner of the
brand having missed car OF
horses, started an investigation,
claims to have discovered that the
horses Findley had sold here were
his with the brand changed. He
then began action to replevin the
horses. He proposes also to be-
gin criminal prosecution against
D Findley for the alleged thievine
of the horses. This will be tried
in South Dakota, where the offense
was alleged to have been commit
ted.-News.

How Long?

The war in the Philippines has been
going on now for just one year and y
half. For eighteen weary months the
best blood of tho United States has
been drained into a repulsive and ap-
parently bottomless swamp of guerilla
fighting that leads to nothing and we
have spent on the wretched job more
money than the Democratic party un-
der Jefferson and Monroe needed to
triple the area of the republic.
When we began the war with Spain,
a nation of eighteen million people,
with considerable navy, an army that
could call upon a million trained men,
a treasury and complete organized
government, we fought her to stand
still in three months and a half, and
we never put more than 10000 men in
our fighting line. To suppress 2,0OO,-
600 unorganized Tagals, in what we
have never recognized Us a war, we are
using $4,000 men, and after eighteen
months of fighting we do not seem TO
he much nearer success than We were
ut the beginning.
Does not tins imply atrocious mis-
management somewhere! And how
long is it to be kept up? Are the
American people prepared to resign
themselves toa permanents state of war
in the Philippines, with great part of
their resources in men and money an
nually devoured to no purpose?
Our army of occupation in the isl
ands is quail to the entire force that q
state like New Jersey could be expec-
ted to raise to resist invasion. Prac-
ideally, therefore, we have subtrac.ed
a state like New Jersey from this de-
fensi: resources of the nation That
is what has been accomplished by i'm
periallsm, masquerading in the robes
of expansion.
III we had given the Filipinos voice
in the management of their own conn
try there would have been no war. III
we would condesend to negotiate with
them the war could be stopped even
now.
In dealing with the savage Moros of
the Sulu Islands, with their polygamy
slavery aud monarchy, we were willing
to recognize the local authorities and
customs, aud by SO doing we obtained
n r
dts without blow. Why should we
refuse to do as much for the civilized
and Christian inhabitants of I.uzon !!
w. J Bryan, in his Indianapolis
speech hit the true note when he said:
IF Republicans say it pays to sscri-
ice our soldiers TO gain trade, you tell
them you are not willing to trade one
American boy for all the trade Of the
Orient"

At their meeting in Faneuil
Hall, Boston, on the 7th inst, the
anti-imperialists declared
"We believe that free silver is
less serious than free slaughter;
we depreciate the appeal to the
pocket at home and to the cannon
abroad; the doctrine that Ameri-
cans can be made rich by taxation
and Fiiipinos righteous by force;
and the practice of assimilation of
lower races in Asia and the ma
nevolent dissipation of higher
ideas in America"
