THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
stu an Unsettled Subject That May
Yet Rend the Republican
Party.

If President Mckinley supposed that
the election would end opposition to
his Philippine policy. he is finding out
his mistake. Even in a republican
congress, and among the republican
members, the question is regarded as
still extremely debatable, and it is
evident that the discussion has only
just begun. In a running debate in
the house of representatives a few
days ago one of the most vigorous and
sensational speeches made was that
of Mr.. Mccall, a Massachusetts, repub-
lican, in opposition to President Nc
Kinley's policy. Mr.. Mccall had pre-
viously distinguished himself by the
vigor of his opposition to the Porto
Rico tariff bill; he had assaulted the
whole Philippine policy of the admin
~istration. and handled it without
gloves. The government. Mr.. Mccall
said, should have declared at the out
set a policy in the Philippines similar
to hat which we declared in Cuba.
Our system of government was mani
testify unfit for a colonial policy.
There was no community of interest
between the people of these islands
ard the United States. No advocate
of retaining the Philippines had been
daring enough to maintain that they
should be a part of our political sys-
tenn. In fact, the great argument in
favor of the principle of the Porto
Rican tariff was that if we could not
apply that principle to Porto Rico
we could not retain the Philippines.
Upon what theory, he asked. are we
to remain in that country? The mo-
tive that had been most widely put
forth was that it was for our advan-
tage, and especially our pecuniary
advantage. In conclusion Mr.. Mccall
said:
1.-THE time has come when we can frankly
declare our purposes. Let us give those
people those assurances which our his
tory inspires. Let us tell them that We will
aid them for one year., or for five, If need
be, in setting up a government of their own,
symbolized by their own flag. and we will
leave them all that is most glorious in the
meaning of another fag-liberty, independ-
ence and self-government."
This might be an extract from some
democratic speakers ut~terances dur
ing the campaign, in opposition to
the policy and tendencies of imperial
ism; but election is past, and we shall
hear what the administration press
and spokesman have to say to such
comments from one of their w men.
So far from being settled, the Philip
pine question is likely to rend the re-
publican party asunder before they
are done with it. Already ome the
announcement thai the promises made
L. 800 location, - h-s-~ ho~n &hn COL
diers in the Philippines at once, will
not be kept; it is said that they are
likely to be retained there until the
last day of their enlistment. All hope
of securing reenlistments has been
practically abandoned. In addition to
all this, there is the probability that
the supreme court may knock down
President McKinley's house of cards
by a decision that the constitution
follows the tag.-Albany Argus.

SILOS AMI
Seven Facts Relative to
Their Value ON Which Every
body Can Agree.

Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed.
First. That a larger amount of
healthful cattle food can be preserved
in the silo in better condition, at less
expense of labor and land, than by N
other method known.
Second. That silage comes nearer be-
ing a perfect substitute for the sue
culent food of the pasture than any
other food that can be had in the win
ter.
Third. Thirty pounds a day is enough
silage for an average sized Jersey COW.
Larger cattle will eat more.
Fourth. A cubic foot of silage from
the middle of a mediuln-sized siIo will
average about 45 pounds.
Fifth. For 1872 days, or half a wear. an
average Jersey COW will require about
six tons of Stage, allowing for unavoid-
able waste.
Sixth. The circular silo, made of good
hard wood slaves, is cheapest and best.
Seventh. Fifteen feet in diameter and
30 feet a good depth. Such a silo will
hold about 200 ions OF silage, cut in
half-inch lengths.-Nationa1 Stockman.

Publicity IL Not Popuy.r.

A contemporary tells of a creamery
manager that wanted to stimulate the
patrons of his creamery to produce
more and better milk. He called them
together and told them that if they
desired it he would publish an annual
report giving the details of the bust
ness, showing just how much each
man had received for his milk, what
per cent. of fat it contained according
to the Babcock test, and just how many
cows each man had used in the produc-
ton of his milk. At the next meeting
h patrons voted not to have the re-
port. The good dairymen were afraid
the poor ones would learn how they did
it, and the poor ones were ashamed to
have their records known. Publicity
is n of the surest ways of getting bet
ter conditions, but a good many men
are afraid of publicity.-Farmers' Re
view,

"But-I don't understand. Don't

According to consular reports from
Germany the demand for American
dried apples, peaches and raspberries
is increasing. Consul General Mason
at Berlin says, however, that to hold
the market Americans must ship in
large quantities of these things at
moderate prices. That is going to be
the trouble in the future as it has been
in the past-the selling of our fruits
low enough to hold the foreign mar
kets. However, we have this to help
us-the Europeans are accustomed to
paying fairly high prices for their
fruit.

DISIIONOR IS URGED.
Senator BeVeridge's Suggestion Re-
garding the stars and Stripes
in Cuba.

when the stars and stripes is
hauled down in Cuba" said United
States Senator Beveridge. in his speech
at the New England society's annual
banquet in New York city, 'Iet it hang
awhile at half-mast, in mourning for
the people of Cuba, abandoned, and
the duty of the United States, de.
serted"
1t is difficult for Americans not filed
with the Mckinley administrations
greed of conquest and of dominion over
helpless and alien peoples to agree with
this sentiment expressed by Senator
Beveridge, especially with regard 10 an
American desertion of duty in allowing
the people of Cuba, to establish their
own Independent government. Such
Americans will see, instead, a splendid
performance of American duty in so
high and unselfish a course.
When this government declared war
on Spain it was for the purpose of
freeing Cuba and of making certain the
establishment ola Cuban republic as de-
sired by the Cuban people. There was
no talk of taking Cuba from Spain and
annexing it to the United States. Oul
declaration of war announced plainly
the American belief that 1.-The people of
Cuba were then, and of right should be,
free and independent" In these words
we solemnly pledged ON national hon
or TO the freeing Of Cuba.
The sole condition under which the
and stripes should hang at half
in Cuba would be if we stultified
ourselves by proving false to our word
and annexing Cuba to the United States
against the will of the Cuban people.
Senator Beveridge TO the contrary not
wi~thstanding. this would be a shameful
deed. and one tc make Americans blush
for all time TO come. Senator Bev-
regard for the national honor
needs strengthening. The plain duty of

it is pledged before all the world, is to
set Cubs free.-St. Louis Republic.

pacity of the round silo is greater in
proportion to the wall space. 1t is the
present practice. when building a
square or rectangular silo, to board
up or otherwise cut off the M
thus lessening the danger of loss OF
silage. Metal Innings for the inside of
wooden silos have been tried. but with
poor success, usually proving less dur
able than wood. Recently steel siding
has been used in place of wood for the
outer part of the wall of the silo, and
it is said to compare favorably with
lumber as to cost.
The first silos built in the United
States were pit silos," and these are
still sometimes made, but, aside from
their cheapness, they have no advan-
tage of consequence yer those built
IN top of the ground. \ serious OBJ
lection to them lies in the difficulty in
feeding the silage from them. On side
hill situations they can sometimes be
used aGvantageously. 1t is often pos
sible to build the silo partly below and
partly above ground, materially less
ening the cost, but retaining the adj
vantages of the above-ground silo.
The desirability of silage as a food
for farm animals during the winter.
and also in times of drought. has led
TO many attempts to construct CHEAP
silos, especially in sections where build
ing materials are high. One of the
most satisfactory Of these cheap struc-
lures is known as the "stave silo." It
is built much as a round tank. but is
without top or bottom other than the
soil. and is composed of two-inch lum-
Der of varying width held together by
hoops of half-inch iron, with suitable
blocks for tightening. When filled, a
temporary roof may be placed on the
silo, or straw or grass may be spread
over the silage.

To this novelty has now been added
what is called a "monsterphone,"
