MERICUs. Ca, APRIL. 27, 1901
sOUTH'S POLITICAL COMPLEXION
CHANGING.

There IS now an influential element
in all the southern states which is in
sympathy with some of the politics of
the republican party We refer chiefly
to the factory owners, and with them
may be classed considerable percent
age of the business men. The business
men are with the republicans on the
money question, and the factory own
ers believe in the gold standard, expan-
sion and a protective tariff.
Another thing that must not be over
looked in the consideration of this ques-
tion,i is that in at least four of the south
ern states the race question has practi-
callydisappeared from politics, and there
are indications that it will disappear
from politics in some of the other
southern states very soon The impor-
lance of maintaining the supremacy of
the white race had been a strong factor
IN holding the white people together
IN the south, and it still is in most of
the southern states When the negro
vote shall be eliminated altogether it
will not be SO easy matter to hold the
white voters together. Their readi-
ness to divide was shown by the re-
markable strength developed in a very
few years by the populist party.

EXAMPLES OF CONFINEMENT
AND THRIFT.

The quest of matrimony on $50 a
week, TO which we referred few DAYS
ago, and which at this writing is still
b-ing discussed by correspondents of
the New York Sun, has brought out
some very interesting statements, tend
ing to show not on'y that there are
more people who are content with lit
tie than we are apt to suppose, but
that 1t IS possible by thrift to save a
fairly comfortable maintenance out of
very moderate salary in the course
of years.
For instance, "a happy wife and
mother writes from Yonkers, n. Y,
to the young man who questioned the
advisability of marrying on the stated
salary to say: Friend, ask not fur
Their; believe one who is speaking from
experience. You can live well, not
merely exist, and lay by little for a
stormy day from $50 week. My hus-
band earns $50 weekly My family
consists of my husband, daughter
years of age and myself. We live in
q select locality, dress well, use ice and
milk, eat well, go to the theater &C.
casionally, and at times entertain
friends. do all my own work, which
1 consider pleasure, supported by my
husbands love"
| Aud correspondent from Ossining,
IN the same state, says, in part:
''There are more married people living
on less than $40 per week than there
are at $50 or more, and they don t
J have to exist like animals, either.
, Where the animal has the best of a
multitude of people is that he doesn't
have to have his good cigar and spend
$40 or more week on rum and other

VACCINATION.

II the vaccination takes well, the arm
is always sure to be more or less in

signs of the spot becoming irritated
and sore, protect it with shield. The
best for this purpose is a round one,
made of thick layer of cotton or left
with hole in the center. The spot
should not be rubbed or scratched or
clothing allowed to touch it. Dust the
wound with little powdered boric
acid, and as it discharges cover with
a clean, soft piece of linen or gauze. If
necessary to wash the place use boric
acid wash, one teaspoonful of the pow

AN ERROR CORRECTED.
in Regard TO Spanish War Vet
erRns' BOunties.

Washington, Oct. 1s.--F. Il. Ritt-
man, auditor of the war department,
Thursday issued special circular let
ter relating to bounties to soldiers
for services in the recent Spanish
American war. Mr.. Rittman says:
A special dispatch was published
in several of the leading daily papers
on or about September 20, 1901, in
regard to an alleged discovery Of
some old laws by Brooklyn lawyer,
granting Ss4 state and s1o2 federal
bounties to soldiers for services in
the recent Spanish-American war, and
stating that it would cost the states
about 100000 and the federal gov
ernment about s5,O00,O00 1t was also
alleged that some thousands of cases
were now before Attorney General
Knox at Washington for his decision,
and that the matter is expected to
be settled within the next ten days.
"There is no foundation whatever
for any such statements as set forth
in the dispatch so far as the United
States is concerned, and II is hoped
that those who are interested in this
matter will not be induced to make
useless inquiries or to file worthless
claims on account of such misrepre-
sentations."

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
der Civil Service Rules About

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1s.-Indiana
republicans, who have been to Wash.
ington recently, bring back the in
formation that President Roosevelt
will put the rural free delivery under
civil service rules about the first Of
next year. To some of the Indianians
he made the positive declaration that
10 must be put under such regula-
tions.
From his conversation his callers
gathered the impression that he will
touch on the subject in his message
to congress.
Indiana is especially interested,
since this state is regarded as the
birthplace of rural mail delivery.
More territory is now covered in
this state than in any other state,
and plans are just being made to
extend the service to many places in
the state.

tional cemetery. The fact that the
distinguished senator's body was to
be removed from the state which had
honored him in life was not known
until Sunday, and has caused consid-
erable comment. II had been pro-
posed to erect niasoleum in one of
the city parks, where the body might
be entombed, and measure looking
to this end was considered by the
last state legislature. However no
action was taken, and il is said that
Mrs. Davis, becoming displeased with
the delay in the matter, determined
to remove the remains to Washington
for final interment.

Manila. Oct. 19.-The 9th infantry
has avenged the massacre of nearly
half o hundred of their comrades
at Balangiga. A detachment of 46
men of the 9th was surrounded by
500 bolomen near Gandara, on the
Banguhon river, Island of Samar.
For time II looked as If the slaugh-
ter of Balangiga was to be repeated.
Ten men had fallen dead and six
others were wounded, when a strong
detachment of the 9th came on the
scene. After fierce fight the Fill
ipinos were routed. leaving over 100
dead on the field.
Manila, Oct. Glowing to the vig-
lance of Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Baines,
ir., of the 9th United States infantry,
another slaughter of American troops
by insurgents has been averted. 1t
seems that Lieut.. Baines discovered
a prisoner re-entering cell at Car
biga, Island of Sainar, where several
were confined, through hole that
had been let in the wall. An investi-
CATION showed plan to fill the jail
with bolomen and to call the guard,
which would be necessary to get the
door open, and then to attack the
garrison. 1t also developed that the
instigators were priest and the
presidente. both of whom have been
together with several other
prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discover
ed, but fortunately frustrated, at
Pambujnn and other points in Samar.
Several persons have been arrested
in connection with these.
Reinforcements are being rushed to
Samar, and 80 marines, under Lieut..
Col. Mancil c. Goodrell, have gone
on board the United States cruiser
New York, and two battalions of the
18th infantry will start Immediately
for the same destination.
United States officers from the pro-
vfnces that were supposed to be paci-
fled have recently arrived in Manila,
and they say that the news of Amer
lean disasters spread like wildfre
among the natives, who scarcely at
tempt to conceal their delight.
The troops in Samar anticipate hard
fighting. Brig. Gen. Jacob II. Smith,
who is in command, has visited most
of the ports and instructed the COM
manders that the insurrection must
be hammered out and Gen. Lukban,
the insurgent leader, captured. AL
ready the movement of troops has
begun.
