NEW GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED !.
One Has Been Organized for BuIacan
Province.
(By Associated Press }

GUIGUINTO. BULACAN PROVINCE.
P. l., Feb. 26.-The United States Philip
pine Commission has arrived here from
Manila, and has organized Il provincial
government for this province. which. un-
til recently. was controlled by the in
SurgentS. The inSurgent Colonel Moreis
is still operating with his band of three
hundred men in portion of the province
Nevertheless, sentiments of peace and
satisfaction with American sovereignty
appear to be as prevalent here as in the
provinces in which governments have
previously been organized. The prsSi-
dente of the town welcomed the commits
sioners, declaring that the people of the
province which had been watered with
the blood of Americans and Filipinos.
earnestly hoped for the Obliteration OF
the marks of war and for the estah-
lshment of a peaceful government guar
anteeing personal liberty.
There was a big meeting this after
noon at the chapel. The discussion de-
veloped into contest between Bulacan
and Malolos over the location of the
capital. Bulaeau has always been the
capital but Maloios is more central The
commissioners deferred deciding whether
to take a vote of the delegations on the
capital question.
All the business of the establishment OF
the government will be completed to-
morrow.
The next province to be offered Is Bot
tan which will complete the organization
of the governments in General Grant S
district.

MIR. Land Explains.
Editor of The Times:


Sir,-Pardon me for again intrudinS
upon you and your readers, but it has
been suggested to me that a wrong inter-
probation might be placed upon por-
ton OF my recent communication which
would reflect upon the Judgment or pro-
ficiency of our worthy sheriff Dy your
readers other than those in this section.
1 refer to the following:
The military was asked for by the
sheriff as full precnution. There are
many here who then and to-day believe
their presence was Unnecessary
1t is merely necessary for me to say
that the precaution taken was wise un-
der the existing circumstance. No as
surances would be given the sheriff by
those who had engaged in searching the
train that no further attempt would be
made to get hold of the negro, and his
friends, myself being among the number,
not wishing him put to the disagreeable
necessity or taking chances of hurting
any one, advised him to call on the mill
itary for protection. This in order that
no unlawful violence could be done the
prisoner.
The II asonS scrne think the military
was not needed is a compliment totthe
sheriff rather than reproach. knowing
his fearlessness from past experiences.
and his determination to protect his
prisoners. it was thought by them that
he could repel the attack of those who
would do violence to his charge.

THE PARTY is RESPONSIBLE.

The Petersburg IndeX-tAppeal pro-
tests that the Norfolk Convention last
spring did not call the Constitutional
Convention, either actually or yirtual-
": that il had no power to do so and
merely made it a party issue III COM
pliance with the demand OF an over
wlelming majority of the Democratic
voters of the State.
The Norfolk Convention made the
calling of Il Constitutional Convention
a party measure. and all the party
men-those who We're opposed to the
convention. as well as those who We're
in favor of it-took off their coats and
went to work for the proposition and
carried it. The Democratic party IN
Virginia is the most powerful orSanl-
cation in the State, and whatever 1t
undertakes to do, it is usually able to
carry through. If the Norfolk Con-
vention had declared against the
calling of Il Constitutional Convention,
and had adopted the resolution advls-
ing the members of the party through
out the State not to vote for it, the
measure would have been defeated be-
yond a peradventure. Therefore, we
say. that the Norfolk Convention vir-
tually called the Constitutional Con-
vention.
The Richmond Dispatch agrees With
us in hat position. Our contempo-
rary said in its issue of yesterday: 1t
is our opinion that the people OF Nir-
ginia would not have voted to call 4
Constitutional Convention at this time
but for the support given it by the
State Democratic Convention. The
Democratic Convention was not the
author of the Constitutional Conven-
ton movement. but its support was
indispensable to its success.
There is no doubt on this point.
When the party did not formally en-
dorse the convention measure. it fail
ed When the party did adopt it, the
convention was called.

FRANK col .ES
NAY YET BE FREE.
His Pardon Again Recommended by
the Board Of Penitentiary
Directors.

Frank Coles, the noted Lynchburs
burglar, who is serving term in the
penitentiary, and whose application for
pardon has been pending for long time
before the Governor and the Board OF
Directors. may yet go free.
The board held q meeting yesterday
afternoon, and although it was not par
don day." several old cases were taken
up and considered, among them being
that of Coles. The papers We're once
more referred to Governor Tyler, with
q favorable recommendation and it is
very likely that when he returns from
New York he will give his approval to
the pardon and set the prisoner free.
The Sunday-school teachers have made
a great fight for Coles freedom. and
but for the fact that his misconduct at
the prison has several times thrown
the fat in the fire. their efforts would
doubtless have been attended with sue
cess ere this.
try Immediately if he is pardoned and
so as a missionary to some foreign land.
It is understood that the Governor was
about to sign the papers for his release
on one occasion when q story of the
prisoners misconduct came to his ears.
Coles has been doing better recently and
has made certain promises which His
GAceileHcE eAetcled oL hlii, ana IL loohS
if his chances of release were good.
Coles had complied with the conditional
pardon law in that he has served out
one half of his sentence. His case at
tracted a great deal of attention, both
in Lynchburg and elsewhere in the State,
he having lost his bearings when at
tempting to burglarize a jewelry store
and bored through the wall of a private
house in Lynchburg on Sunday. He
committed other infractions upon the
law, it is said, but the attempted bur
glary case was the one upon which he
was convicted.

CURRENT TOPICS.

..Nothinr more surely indicates the
so,;d and enduring character OF the pros
ner;,v which has come to the South,
saws I,esiie,s Weekly, than the figures
showing the tremendous growth Oh tiie
cotton industry in recent years. 1 ne
value of the cotton-seed Oil product
alone has reached enormous proper
tons. In the fiscal year ending June
goth. 1900, over s25,50o,Oo0 was realized
from the export of cotton-seed OIL ana
it is estimated that the manufactures
products of seed-oil consumed at nome
amounted in value to at least SlcNoo,oVO
more. And this whole industry mas grown
up in the past thirty years.
The remarkable part about this is that
formerly this product was usec 10 ieeo
stock. or to make manure. The South is
learning the lesson of thrift.
In spite OF the disaster, Galveston is
still doing an immense trade, ana inc
report of the Secretary Of the Maritime
Association for the past fiscal year was
most gratifying.
The total of all products carried to
Europe except cotton. is 4260'3 tons. Inc
value of all exports is approximately
$40 100000.
In the statement of the amount OF ton
mage which sailed from Galveston ior
Europe between June 30th, I'eo' ana L en-,
ruarv Sth, 1901, the time covered by all
the statistics, there was a very marked
increase in the size of the vessels. Inc
average net tons per vessel is 2,li5,
whereas in the past there has been no
average that went above 1000 tons. w hen
it is considered that in the season OF
1896 the average size OF vessels coui-
ing here was but scarcely l.4oo tons, the
growth to this period seems the more
remarkable.
The Richmond Dispatch is one OF North
Cardinals best outside friends. In its
issue of Saturday it discusses the
impeachment proceeding at Raleigh, say
ing, in part:
I've know practically nothing OF the
merits of the case, and must say we have
full confidence in the wisdom and patriot
ism of our Democratic brethren OF the
Old North State but at the same time
we trust they are not being led into pre-
cipitate action by the fact that they are
49, w.
branches Of the Legislature"
And again:
I'VE cannot help expressing the hope
that our Democratic friends at Raleigh
are sure of their ground. Our real inter-
est In all that makes for the welfare of
North Carolina and the Democratic party
must be our excuse for any seeming med
ding in what does not directly concern
u.s. If our friends are right in their
contention, as, even now, we are more
than half sure they are, then more power
to their arm, say we; but surely an
impe cfmen proceeding is a serious mat
ter"

OFT OF THE ORDINARY.

Henry M. and Maria Shultz, of Read
ing, Pa, have just returned from their
second wedding trip. They were married
thirty years ago. They lVed WIN
the brides parents one year and then
separated because the young VIE "ollio

The net results of the years transae-

Such results have been accomplished
without the sacrifice Of any OF those

membership is valuable and growth nee
