be cut in the southern part OF the

While flax has made great improve
ments and is now in blossom in most Sec

is very poor; in the eastern part OF the
state considerable has been plowed I'M

pines as serious was shown by
the fact that the first thing Sec
rotary Root undertook, when he
returned to his post of duty last
week, was proposition to send
General Chaffee 10000 recruits as
fast as they can be forwarded. If
democrats were disposed to say,
I-told-you-so, to the republicans
present conditions would amply
justify the taunt. The republi-
cans have been for months con-
stantly assuring the country that
all the serious troubles in the
Philippines was over, and now
they are confronted by the neces-
sity of reiniorcements for the
already large American army in
the Philippines. 1t is unneces-

anything; the facts speak fol
themselves. The people will
sooner or later tire of this bust
ness, and then they will natural
ly turn to the democratic party
for relief.
