NATIVE PHILIPPINE POLICE
An Efficient and Loyal Force Has
Been Organized.


WASHINGTON, May 11.-An extensive
resume of the organization and varying
conditions of the Philippine native po.
lice force is contained in a statement
made public today by the division of in.
sular affairs of the war department.
The report recites that, because of the
poverty of the municipalities, the Phil
ippine commission appropriated the sum
of $3.50. 600 to provide increased improve
ments and to further increase the com.
pensation for cases of meritorious ser.
vice and faithful service.
The reports received at the war de.
partment indicate that an efficient and
loyal force of native police has now been
organized with prospects of further ex.
tension and increased ability The total
force now numbers 6,349 officers and
men, great many of whom are on the
meritorlous list and receive additional
f6COmDenSn.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial

matters have resumed their normal
| course, though Japan's distrust of the
northern power still remains in as full
force as ever and the nation does not in
the least relax its vigilance in watching
every move of the Muscovite.
None save those who have long re-
| sided i'll Japan can form any conception
of the strength of the national senti.
ment regarding Corea. The people have
been taught for centuries that the desti.
| MES of the two countries are indissolu-
bly, united, and the conviction of this is
not only ineradicable but has become
part and parcel of the patriotic enthusi-
asm which is the nations life. More
lover, the tide of emigration has flowed
IN large volume to this peninsula, which
is recognized as the only field in view of
the growing restrictions upon the influx
of Aslatics in the west.
Japan's Patience Sorely Tried.
Japan now has a population of 49,
100000 upon a surface less than
that Of the Atlantic states of America,
and, it being a mass of mountains, only
one-twelfth of the soil is arabic. Corea,
therefore, becomes an absolute neces-
slty In the near future as a field for en-
igration, and apart from the fact of it's
possession by Russia, it would be rec
ognized as a mortal menace to the island
empire. 1t may, therefore, be readily
imagined that the nations patience is
liable at any moment to be exhausted
by Russia's diplomatic policy.
The official census of foreigners in
this department. made last month shows
very large increase in the American
population, as also in the German con-
tingent, plainly indicating that the
British preponderance in the foreign
business of the country will soon be-
come thing of the past.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY %, 1901.
The Coming Municipal Campaign.


The next municipal election in Els
worth will take place on Monday,
March 4; hence but six weeks remain
for the parties to get in their prelim-
mary work.
For the past two years our city gov
eminent has been in the control of
the democrats, and while perhaps it
cannot fairly be said that their con-
duct of municipal affairs has been in
any vital sense worse than that of
their predecessors, it certainly cannot
be said that there has been any i'm
provement.
There is, therefore, no essential
reason why they should expect longer
to be continued in office. Ellsworth
is a normal republican city. Nothing
but lack of party fealty, which was
the cause of republican disaster two
years ago, or sublime Indifference to
party duty on the part of republicans,
to which the democrats owe their sue
cess of year ago-nothing, we say,
but these two things can prevent re-
publican success at any election in
Ellsworth
1t is the duty, therefore, of the re-
publicans of this city to supplement-
the party's recent success in State and
nation by old-time activity and res
olute determination to redeem the
doings of the past two years.
1t is as plain as pike-staff that
non partizanship in local affairs in
this city, while beautiful in theory,
does not work in practice; there is no
desire among the rank and file OF
either party for it. Every effort in
recent years to apply it to the stu
alton here has resulted in compro-
misses that have proved utterly un-
satisfactory all around.
1t is not to the discredit of our
democratic friends to say that how
ever well they may have administered
the city's affairs during the past two
years, the republican party can easily
furnish set of men who can admin
lister them with equal ability.
Hence let us proceed forthwith to
the preliminary work of the cam
paign. A strong pull, and pull al
together; a subordination of past
differences within the party to its
future success, and the victory is
surely ours.

senator Hale ON the Army BIN.

The Kennebec Journal this morning
prints in full the speech of Senator
Hale on the army bill, in which he
states very clearly and succinctly his
reasons for supporting the measure.
Commenting on the speech the
Journal says:
.whfle the senator does not believe on gen
eral principles In a large standing army. be Is
convince q that the force called for by the army
bill Is rendered necessary by the condition in
which the army in the Philippines would. other
wise, be left as result of the withdrawal of
troops. By the expiration of terms of enlistment,
Ard by sickness aud casualty.
"The senator feels that the wars Of the future
are vastly more likely TO be fought upon the
ocean than upon the land. 1t may be said, in
this connection that no man in Congress has
borne more conspicuous part in building up
our Am rican navy than has Senator Hale, who,
affairs, has been In position to do most efficient
work in promoting this branch of the service.
The country owes much of its present state of
naval efficiency to his clear headed labors in
this dir elton.
Oft would not be surprising ST, as result Of
these labors, his interest inclined somewhat In
shis direction, aud yet We can but believe that
time wi fully demonstrate the accuracy Of his
prediction, that In the contests OF the future.
the navy rather than the army Is destined to be
the real test OF our national strength"
