AN organized fight is to be made IN
the next Congress for the reestaollsn-
ment of the army canteen. Reports
have been received from every post
commander in the United States OF
more arrests, assertions and general
lawlessness since the abolition OF the
csnteens than was the case before.
Army officers of all grades are in
favor of the regimental canteen rather
than the saloons outside of the mill
tary lines. These officers have not a
particle of pecuniary benefit from the
reestablishment Of the canteen, and
what they say should therefore be
given full credence. The necessity
of the canteen is unfortunate, the
same as the licensed saloon in civil
communities, but it is simply mat
ter of choosing the less Of two evils

The report last week that the Cuban
constitutional convention had ac-
copied the Plat amendment was true
but when the full report was received
It was found by Secretary Root that
the conditions of the Platt amend.
ment had been so qualified that il
was not acceptable, and Secretary
Root and President Mckinley have
since sent report to the convention
stating that the Plat amendment
must be accepted without any
qualification or alteration. In at
much as the first report of the az
ceptance of the of the Plat amend
ment is said to have been satisfac
sforily received by the people Of botE
the United States and Cuba, there
would seem to be no reason for the
amendment not being accepted by
Cuba in an unqualified form.

JOHN ALEXANDER Dow1E, at a meet
ing of his followers in Chicago on
Sunday, declared that he was John
the Babtist come to earth again,
who, he says,frst appeared as Elijah.
This statement was made as the
elimination of most bitter attack
upon the Christian church Of the
present day, both Roman Catholic
and Protestant. John the Babtist
also denounced the church of his
day in the persons of the scribes and
Pharisees, but he was a man whose
home was the wilderness, whose food

"REDucr1oN of the managing .ex-

PRODUCTION of the managing ex-
penses and of loss by fires" is the
keynote of Insurance Commissioner
Dearth's report to Governor Van
SAINT. The expense is now 43 per
cent of the premiums, and the loss
by fires is SO per cent, and only the
fact that there was an increase in the
value of investments during the past
two years saved the companies from a
loss of $8,OOO,O0O, and enabled them
to increase their surplus by some
thing over 100000. The startling
fact is brought out by the Commits
sioner that that from 35 to 40 per
cent of the fires during the last year
were reported to have been incendi.
airy, in which connection it is further
stated that the fire losses rose from
1877, 4s7.46 in 1899 to $685., 536.1 Is in
1900, and that unless something is
done to stop these incendiary fires,
insurance rates must be increased.
The commissioner also says that the
large expense account of 45 per cent
must also be decreased. This is q
matter that the whole state should
be interested ia, as rates are already
too high to have them increased
simply on account of incendiarism
and inability of the companies to do
business without spending 43 per
cent of their premiums for running
expenses.

MAx1M1TE, the new explosive in

danger than ordinary gunpowder'

THERE have been conflicting re
ports during the week as to what the
Administration would do with the
Philippines in view of the recent de,
cisions of the supreme court on the
Porto Rican tariff cases. Civil gov
eminent was to have been established
in the Philippines on July l, under
the Spooner resolution, but it has
been decided by the Administration
lawyers that the Spooner resolution
does not plainly enough confer a
power to levy a tariff, bu.. that there
is much more probabi ity of tariff
being legal under the guise of mill
tary necessity. The War Depart
ment will therefore continue to rule
the Philippines until Congress meets
and passes some Philippine tariff act
analogous to the Foraker act The
work of the Taft commission viii
meanwhile continue, and civil goYL
,rnment Will be established in the
various towns of the islands AS
'apidly as is practicable.

How . Cowboy Had Fun With an Atfa-
IetIc Parson.

How Cowboy Had e IN With an Ath.
IetIc Parson.
A clerical friend Of mine told me
a capital story Of a Yale man who
was the stroke oar Of his crew and
the chief athlete on the football
field.
He entered the ministry and spent
years in missionary labor in the far
west. Walking one day through q
frontier town, cowboy stepped up
to him and said:
"Parson, you don't have enough
fun. Take a drink" o ,,5
The minister declined.
'Well, " he said, ''parson, you must
have some fun, Here's faro layout.
Take hand in the game"
The minister declined.
IS 'Parson, = said the cowboy, you'll
die if you don't have some fun"
And he knocked the parsons hat
off his head and hit him whack on
the ear. een 9Hz
The old athletes spirit rose. The
science which had been learned in
the college gymnasium and forgot
ten for a quarter Of century was
aroused, and blow was landed on
the jaw Of that cowboy that sent him
spraWling in the street.
The parson walked over TO him
as if he had been a door rug, picked
him up and busted the side of the
house with, him and then mopped
up the sidewalk with his form.
As the ambulance was carrying
the cowboy off he raised his head
feebly and said:
Person, what did you fool me
for? You are chock full Of fun

"The further passage OF the bullet

Smyrna. Sept. IT, The farmers are
experiencing considerable trouble in
getting their corn crop cut. They have
to depend on colored help, and this ia
getting more unsatisfactory each year.
The colored people have mostly left the
small tenements on the farms and
moved to towns. Now the farmers are
compelled, II they want help, to bring
them to town Saturday afternoon. or
loan them team, which IL usually
kept until early Monday morning.
There Is movement among the farmers
to try and secure number of emf
grants and dispense entirely with the
colored help.
The Baltimore & Delaware Bay rail-
road, which recently passed unde5 the
control OF the Delaware railroad, is be-
ing put In excellent condition between
Massey's and Chestertown. New rails
and ties have taken the place of those
worn out, and the tracks have been
raised and ballasted. Nothing as yet
has been done on the track between
Clayton and Massey's, and there is d
rulnor that this part of the road will
be abandoned In the near future, con
nectiun being made with the Queen
Anne's & Kent railroad at Massey's.
Under the present schedule the after
noon train on that railroad does not
come any farther than Massey's. The
branch from Clayton 20 Massey's on
two occasions during the past few
yeurs saved the Delaware railroad
thousands OF dollars on perishable
freight when bad wrecks occurred be.
tween Townsend and Rlaokbird. The
trains were switched off at Clayton,
and reached Townsend by way Of
