About His Trip.

Years to Come.

Denver, Col, Oct. e.-Con-
gressman John f. Shafreth, WHO
has been travelling in China and
thu Philippines for the last four
months, has reached home. Speak
ing of the conditions In the Philip
pines he said
'Peace has been practically re-
stored. There is still little in
surrection in Samar, but aside
from that everything is fairly quiz
ct. l do not believe, however,
that the retention of the islands
will he profitable, rs the govern
ment will have to expend great
deal of money on them, even in
time of peace. 1t costs now be-
tween 100000. and $4,000. u
year to keep the soldiers there,
and even If Tie number is reduced
to 30, 600, tho expense will still
he greater than the profits from
the islands will warrant. The
islands are nnquestionably rich,
but their benefit to- the United
S'Htes will not materialize until
-cncratlon or two shall have pass
eel and the need for an army in the
islands shall have gone"
In regard to China, Mr.. Shat.
roth says
"rhe trade of the United States
with China has grown rapidly and
this country will soon be Keeping
pace WITH the struggle for suprem-
acy. The danger of the invasion
of American fields by the Chinese
Is not very great SO long as the
exclusion act is in force, hut as
this will expire next spring the
problem will ne one for the gov
ernment again to consider. So far
the government has not allowed
the Chinese to enter the Philip
pinee and | presume it will exclude
them there SO long as they are
kept out of the United States"
MIR. Shafroth looked into the
silver question in the Philippines
and, when congress shall meet this
winter will submit plan for the
re"pening of the mint at Manila

The above apparently innocent
resolution was passed today by a
small body of farmers who assem-
bled in the court house here for
the purpose of resurrecting the
defunct alliance which ha, been
dead in this county ever since
1892.
When The meeting was organ
lied this resolution was first pre-
sent"d and after full discussion
was unanimously adopted.
Until the terms of the resolu-
ton are complied with no further
Ell 'rt will be made to perfect the
organization nor will any other
county meeting be. held until some
time in November.
The gentlemen referred to in
the resolutions are Messrs. ID. F
Efrd of Lexington, John G Will
born of York. and W. N. Elder
also of York, These are the
State officials who are reorganizing
the State county by county,, and
the work has been proceeding
systematically. Remembering how
the alliance was used as a politi-
cal step-stone in the early '9Os
the farmers of Sumter county do
not intend to allow themselves to
be used by politicians again, and
have taken today the initiative to
test the faith of their wonld be
leaders.

be taken if these gentlemen re-
fuse to comply with the conditions
imposed but it was intimated that
an independent comfy srganiza-
ton would be formed which shall
be ga non-political southern cot
ton growing organization.' Even
today it cropped ont in debate
that some imperative action must
be taken to fight the cotton oil
trust which has fastened it's fangs
upon the State and is buying up
the cotton seed at their own prices.
On this point the farmers are
aroused all over the State and.
alliance or no alliance some Or
ganization will be perfected. They
begin to realize the true value of
their cotton seed and do not in
/ tend to part with Them for small
prices.
The decisive action of the meet
ing today in making their leaders
declare themselves may be the
means of inducing other counties
to take the same step. F.P.C.

IRISH ROUTED DANES
ON GOOD FRIDAY

To readers of the Inter. Mountain IN
Butte of Irish nativity. Good Friday will
recall the battle of Clontarf. in VIII CHI
the great King Brian Boriohme Tor Boru)
routed the Danes ad forever ended their
dominion in Ireland. This event took
place early in the eleventh century, Ions,
before the Anglo Norman invasion.
The Danes suffered their first great
defeat at the hands Of King Malachy OF
the Hy-Niall line-.''the wearer of the
collar of gold cOmmemOrated in tbs
verse of Moore. But the glory of crush
ing the pirate settlers and expeliny
them, for the most part, from the coun-
try, belongs to Brian-a fine historical
fgure-called not inaptly the irish
Alfred. Brian one of the lesser kings Of
the south there We're four kings in Ire
land, an island not larger than Custer
county, in this state), was in a certain
sense, usurper. He displaced the SUI
preme Hy-Niall dynasty. and became
monarch in the first years of the elev-
enth century. His reign is still a brigh.
spot in Irish annals he kept distracted
land in peace; repaired much of the raw
age done by the Dane; restored churches
and built schools in word, was prob
ably a great sovereign. The legend that
tells how a fair girl, though rich and
rare were the gems she wore," could 60
in safety everywhere in these golden
years, is a tradition of an suspicious
period. Yet Brian, unlike Alfred, WAS
only a great chief, passiOnately revered
and loved by his tribal subjects. tic
founded no institutions and made no
laws. His name however is still famous
as the hero of the most decisive victory
ever won over the Morse races which
freed Ireland from them. The great fight
of Clontarf, in which the Celtic tribes,
assembled from every part of Ireland
and aided by friendly Scots from the
Lowlands, overthrow, under the aged
king, the heather host of Sitric and
Sigurd, and drove it into the devour.ng
sea, rang through Christendom as a
mighty deliverance, and was Ions
mOurned as wOeful day by the Danes.
1t attests the valor of the Irish race in
war; and Irishmen, even now as they
survey the scene, still rich with the
memories of Marathon of their OWL,
feel the pride felt by Frenchmen for
Valmy and for Jemappes.
Although victorious, King Brian was
slain at the battle of Clontarf. The old
king left the command of the Irish troops
to his two sons and went into tent to
pray, remembering the day common :
rated the death on the cross at Calvary.
In that position, with the crucifix up
raised, Danish jarl espied him and ran
his sword through the kings body. 50
Brian persisted in the very hour OF
triumph.

OBJECT TO HIGHER TARIFF.
Would Cut OF All Opportunity for
Commercial Redress.

Shanghai, April 5.-The China associa-
ton has cabled to London a protest
against the proposal to pay the Chinese
indemnity by an increase of the tariff.
The association claims that although
such an increase is possibly practicable.
it should remain for future settlement,
as an increased tariff is calculated to
deprive the commercial powers of means
of redress for treaty grievances and is
also detrimental to the expansion OF
trade. The association considers that
the present source of revenue will pro-
vide for the payment of the indemnity.
