There has been much sickness in
this vicinity this season. Children
are suffering from scarlatina, sore

are thankful that thus far there
have been no very SERIOUS cases.
Lila Clark has been for some time

she, too, is on the road to recovery.

faithful discharge of their duties.
1t seems to us that the control OF

The Des Moines Register and Leader
says: The Omaha WorId-Herald criti-
cises what the Register and Leader
said about the Declaration of lnde-
pendence IS applied to government in
the Philippines, and says: ono form
OF government which is imposed upon
an unwilling people and under which
they are denied the hope OF ever be-
coming full-hedged citizens OF that
government meets the purposes OF
the Declaration AS no such con-
dition exists as the World-Herald re.
fers to, there is nothing to discuss.
The E'ilipinos are "full-hedged citi-
zens" of their own country, with
greater liberties than they ever en-
joyed before. What they may be-
come in relation to the United States
remains to be determined.
The Filipinos are referred to as
"cihzens Of the Philippines. What
country is that? The American con-
gress legislates for it, and the Ameri-
can president presides over its admin
istration. The American who takes
up his residence there will be entitled
to participate, exactly as the Filipino
participates, in such form Of govern.
ment as they have. The American
would be q citizen of the United
States; the Filipino will be a citizen
of the Philippines. What sort OF a
sountry is thiss VIII the Register
and Leader be good enough to say?
But even of such government as
they are to have, the Filipinos are not
"full-fedged citizens" They are to
be permitted to vote for one branch
of a local legislature, whose measures
may be completely destroyed by an
other branch appointed by the Ameri-
can administration.
The Filipinos have no Gown coun-
try" They are the subjects OF re-
public-the greatestrepublic on earth
They are to be governed and to be
taxed without representation other
than sham form Of representation.
So far as the United States il con-
cerned, they are denied the privilege
OF being citizens, and apart from the
United States government they have
no country Of their own of which they
may be citizens,

EARLY CIGAR TONGS.
Matches We're n Convenience
Yet Unknown.

Some customs seem TO have as many
lives as the proverbfal cat. In the good
old days of Queen Bese every smoker
had in his outfit a pair of tobacco
tongs. If he were gallant of the
court, they were made Of silver, if
substantial merchant, of brass, but
If workingman. of cheap iron ware.
They were necessary implement to
the smoheY. Matches were I'M
ka,own, and the only available fire in
the day time was the blazing log upon
the hearth. says the New York Post
With the poker small piece of glow
ing ember was BROKEN off, which, with
the tongs, was applied 30 the freshly
charged pipe Hundreds of these
tongs are to be found in the collections
of antiquariane. Most of them are
clumsy objects, but few are so grace
fui in outline and artistic in work
manship that they seem TO be of
French and Flemish, rather than Eng
hsh origin These tongs were re-
vived on q small ecahe some 20 wears
ago, when they were employed for
holding cigarettes. The cigarette
tongs were from two TO four inches
In length, connected at the upper end
by smart spring, which kept the ends
together when in position of rest.
When used the smoker opened them
and caught the cigarette between the
tips close up to the mouth end. The
continuance enabled the user to burn
the cigarette down 10 the last Whit,
and protected the fingers from the
ddecoloring vapor that produces the
brown stain upon the fore and middle
fingers. The new tengs shown nova
days are somewhat larger, and are in
tended to hold cigars as we'll as to
reach coal from the fireplace to a
pipe. They are made ofiron, steel and
gun metal, and many of the latter are
said TO tie manufactured from war
ships cannon, and other trophies of
the late war with Spain.

How to Make Anti Trust Capital.

President Roosevelt's plan OF cam
psign to spike the Democratic guns
on the antitrust issue" is rather too
simple. This plan includes, it is said,
the preparation under his own super
vision OF drastic anti-monopoly law
by Representative Little1ield, OF
Maine, and & proclamation of his pur-
pose, in the speeches which he In
tends making, to press this measure
upon Congress.
This is creditable to the Presidents
sense of right and to his courage i n
antagonizing the powerful financial
interests that are backing the trusts.
Like the suit which he directed to be
brought against the great railroad
merger. his plan shows capacity for
popular leadership, however he may
get on with the politicians and the
campaign contributors.
And yet MI. Roosevelt ought to au-
ticipate the very obvious comment up
on such campaigning. "What is the
good in talking about recommends
ton to Republican Congress?" the
psople viii ask. "Hasn't your party
had uudisputed control of Congress
and the executive for six years past?
And has not every bill for the re-
straint of trusts been quietly smother
ed in one house or the other?" Mean
| while the monopolies have waxed fat
and kicked as never before in the his
tory of the world.
The President may be sure also that
the people will point to his failure to
secure the least particle OF relief to
Cuba as a measure OF Executive in.
fluence upon Congress held firmly in
the clutch of the combined protected
monopolies.
| There is just one way, and only one
in which the President can check II
any manner the tide that is running
strongly against his party on the trus'
question. If he can infuse some o.
his own energy and determination in

The Defeat in 1900.
"In 1900 the action of the republican party
in turning war commenced for humanity
into u war OF conquest compelled the con-
sheraton Of another question: question
so far-reefhing in its consequences that
our party rightfully declared It to be the
paramount Issue. Without abandoning -.

Landmarks.

These are not necessarily the monu-
ments erected to distinguish the
boundary lines Of farms, territories OF
states, or the public buildings, OF 3
city, OF state, or nation, nor yet,
the monuments erected to commence
rate its dead. Every community has
land marks more enduring than any
Of these; more expressive of the pub
lie character of it's people, and more
worthy Of the veneration of mankind.
The most cherished of these land
marks are the public institutions
which secure to the people, without
distinction of nationality, race or sex,
all the blessings of free government,
In which all may participate, the per-
feet freedom Of religious opinion and
worship; the right Of trial by jury;
and to the uudisputed right to the en-
joyment and possession Of his acQuisi-
tionB, and the sacredness of his home.
And in considering these land marks
that establish public character and
the permanenee of these public insti-
buttons Of every name and nature, it
is proper to take cognizznce of the
individual characters which have
brought forth all these results.
These individuals by hundreds and
thousands denied the divine right OF
Kings and asserted the divine right
of every individual to be sovereign to
his own person, and acts, consistent
with the equal right Of every other
person. This inspiration and thought
influenced the most intelligent and
thoughtful to sever family ties and
the associations of home for the new
world, aud brought to the western
continent the best of the human
family.
The private and public life and acts
of these individuals have established
historic land marks on the pages Of
history more enduring than the mar
bic that commentaries the triumphs
of yalor won in the enslavement of
one people by the victorious arms of
another. The presence Of these land
marks are to be found in every COM
munity. They are not the exclusive
meubers of any church, nationality or
political creed, but constitute the
great body Of American citizenship
without reference to place of birth.
In every contest in the ordeal of
war every element OF its population
has been represented in behalf of the
civil authority Of the country, and
the soldiers Of the republic have been
inyincible because every one has per-
sopsl interest In the perpetuity Of its
institutions, not only for himself, but
for those to come after him. These
arc the land marks that makes our
country great and glorious, and the
preservation Of which is worthy Of the
best efforts of citizens, patriots and
statesmen.
Every man and woman who has
given their services in educating the
people in the principles that arc fun
damental to our government; each
and every man and woman Of good
morals and pure lives is living land
mark to the American fabric of gov
eminent, and the lives of all such who
have been gathered home are land
marks whose good works do follow
them.
