TORRES EXPRESSES WARM
FEELING FOR cHAFFEE

Manila, Dec. 16.-The insurgent
General Torres, who was found guilty
by a military commission Of ordering
the assassination of an American
corporal and sentenced to be hanged,
but whose sentence was disapproved
by General Chaffee. broke down when
he was released. He said that 1t was
just that his life was spared because
he was innocent Of the crime imputed
to him. lie has expressed his high.
est regard and warmest feelings for
General Chaffee, and his appreciation
that the supreme military power in
the Philippines Is in the hands of
such a man. Torres says he is sub
missive to the existing conditions.

deal of unfinished business in Stark
county to attend to. A good deal Of 1t,
also, has never been commenced.
Up to date Prosecutor Day has not
sent word to Attorney General Sheets
that he will proceed to make the Anti
Saloon league and the Stark County
Liquor league come forward and tell
what they spent election time to fur
ther or defeat the aspirations of certain
citizens for Office. The statute is very
plain about this matter, and the fine

bills. ,I
Charles o. Silver's candidacy for mes
sage clerk has assumed some propor-
tions, and in the general shuttle that Is
being made, he may draw a prize.
Congressman Tayier has frequently
been mentioned for governor, and
would be acceptable TO the rank and file
Of his party. but II he is to depend up
on Senator Foraker for his endorse
ments, he might as well begin writing
letters to Governor Dick just to get his
hand in. While Foraker would doubt
less like to give Congressman Tayler
the nomination, 1t Is an unfortunate
fact that he is rapidly nearing the stage
when he has nothing to give but his
word, and few are accepting that with
out seasoning these days.

Representative Pollock has declared
that he is not for the Hanna slate
Representative Metzger has declared
that he will support it. Thus do these
Stark county brethren dwell together
in unity.
Tom Johnson has declared that none
of the Cuyahoga county delegation

great many Of the Legislators are glad
they were not elected from the Cleve-

and has endeavored to spank him. but
found the seat of his trousers spiked.

The Municipal Code Bill.

That perennial agitation for a munic-
ipal code bill will be re-opened afresh
at Columbus with the first of the year.
As usual, both the great parties in Ohio
profess to favor uniformity of local
government for Ohio cities, and the
legislators will be loud in their pro-
testations that they are for reform.
But no bill can reform the present mu-
niciple muddle in Ohio without tread
ing on the toes of a host of party
bosses here and there in the state;
whenever the boss discovers he is
about to get the worst of it his minions
In the legislature Immediately begin
to obstruct legislation.
So host of objections will spring
UP in opposition to any municipal code
that may be proposed at Columbus
next January; and it is about an even
chance whether the legislation
when 1t is finally effected-will be
for better or for worse. The objections
K will be on many pretexts, and every
member will be ready to have the new
law effective In every other district of
the state except his own; but the re
suit will be the same. At least, that
Is the experience Of the past.
The Cleveland Leader, Republican
says editorially Of the coming attempt
at revision of the general and spe-
c!al laws governing municipalities:
There is no doubt that the bringing
of suit to test the constitutionality
of the Cleveland federal plan law and
the talk Of legislation to repeal that
law If the courts shall hold it to be
constitutional. will lend impetus to the
movement for the enactment of a gen.
eral law for the government of Ohio
cities.
~ This Is a matter in which the Ohio
board of commerce has taken a deep
interest for several years. Some time
nirce commission authorized by tho
general assembly drew up a bill de-
signed to provide uniform govern
ment for all the cities. The proposed
law is comprehensive in its provisions,
mot only giving uniformity in govern
ment, but establishing civil service re-
form in the cities, and providing for
(. IN improved system Of conducting the
nnainess affairs and keeping the ac-
Seounts OF cities. a.l
here is no doubt of the need OF
ch legislation. The only thing that
/ Xrtands In the way of II Is the opposi-
1>on of the politicians. Public senti-
1sent may need education before such
|. y law can be enacted. but some day
hero will be demand for change
|0hich cannot be resisted.
The provisions of tho constitution
uncorning the government OF muni-
oolities is very plain. 1t was the in
