Each room should be furnished In
strict accordance with its purpose, and
no room should more prominently des-
ignate its object than the dining room.
Whatever its decorations, they should
be simple and chaste. All its pictures
should be of an associative and not of a
comparative character; wherefore it is
that designs Of fruit, fish. game or the
like are never in particularly good
taste. The English dining room is typ
ically characteristic OF the people.

necessarily chromos. Palms and flow

Man who Won't Write Letters.

Manila. Oct 2.IThe Maciu Moros in
Mindanao have offered but slight re-
sistance to the column under Capt.
Pershing, of the Fifteenth cavalry.
After a series of skirmishes on Mon
day and Tuesday of this week the
Moros retreated into six forts on the
shores of the lake.
The American column reached the
former camp at Maciu Sunday night.
On Monday the Moros opened fire on
them with brass cannon and rifles
from a series of new forts which had
been erected since Capt. Pershing's
first visit to the place.
The battery under Capt. William S.
McNair scaled ridge commanding
the position of the Moros and shelled
them out. The engineers under Capt.
Jay j. Morrow had constructed trail
over the swamp fanlling the Moro
position. The men of Capt. Pershing's
column crossed the swamp by the
trail and captured and destroyed
three of the Moro forts. The Moros
stood but short while, and ran as
soon as the artillery opened on them.
Capt. Pershing has been ordered to
destroy the forts unless the Moros
make peace. Twenty Moros were
killed and many were wounded.
There were no casualties among the
Americans.
Washington, Oct. 2.-The war de-
partment officials are watching with
great interest the operations of Capt.
Pershing against the Maciu Moros,
who are located near the southeast
end of Lake Lanao, on the island of
Mindanao. The datto at Maciu has
proved to be one of the most power
full and stubborn in his resistance to
the United States. He has perhaps
| 5000 or 1000 followers. 1t was the
Maciu Moros who last spring killed a
number of merican soldiers and cap
tured stock belonging to them. An
unsuccessful effort was made to get
them to surrender the murderers and
give up the stock that had been taken,
but their datto was obdurate and the
war department determined on the
compaign which Capt. Pershing ap-
parently has gone far towards bring
ing to a successful conclusion.

DURAND'S BROTHER.
He Is Selected TO Head the Demo-
cratic State Ticket in Michigan.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 1.->After an ami
mated discussion lasting nearly three
hours yesterday, the democratic state
central committee selected L. L. Du-
rand. of Saginaw, as the party's candi-
date for governor. The new nomina-
tion was made necessary by the with
drawal of Judge George II. Durand, of
Flint, brother of the last nominee.
Judge Durand was stricken with
paralysis five weeks ago and his con-
dition has remained such that all
thought of his going through a cam
paign or filing the Office of governor
had to be abandoned.
The fight yesterday lay between the
gold democrats, who favored L. Il.
Durand, and the silver leaders, who
wanted to nominate State Senator j.
w. 'Helme, of Adrian; Charles Il.
Sigh, of Grand Rapids, or some other
democrat who had come out as a sill
YER man in 1896. Helme's friends
stood by his declaration that the
state convention should be recon-
vened to fill Judge Durands place on
the ticket and as he had declared that
he would not accept nomination at
the hands of the committee, his name
was not presented. On the second
formal ballot, the committee stood II
for Durand and 10 for Sigh, the nomi
nation of Durand being Immediately
thereafter made unanimous.

the destruction of cur prosperity which

abolition of the tariff. admission of all
foreign products to free competition
with American products-that is the
proposition which is squarely set be-
fore the people of the United States.
American thought will instantly re-

radical was proposed and when the tar

The stream of immigration flows
mainly toward the grain fields of the
west, ihe timber lands of the north
west, and the orchards and gardens
of the Pacific slope. Yet the south
needs labor for her textile, wood
working metal, phosphate and other
Industries, and the outlook in agri-
culture is, as a financial journal put
it, that the south probably has as
good opportunities for the right kind

Almost the same can be said of the
silver issue. 1t, too, has gone into a
hole. Bryan still maintains feeble
pretense of standing by his financial
principles. He still says that the sup
ply of gold has increased enormously
and silver has decreased. But no one
pays attention to what he says. His
voice is like "the voice of one crying
in the wilderness" but it is not the
voice of a John the Baptist. Many cry

they would have a chance. But it must
be remembered that President Nc
Kinley, in 1896, was anxious to have
a fight upon the tariff issue and no
other. He sought in vain to bring that
issue to the front. Now it is an issue
by the consent of both parties. No
body shrinkS from it, since if a test of
strength is invited ii might as we'll be
made now as any other time. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has spiked some of the
democrats guns. He has stolen the OPP
positions thunder on the trust ques-
ton He has compelled the democrats
to say they are in favor of regulating
the trusts by national authority,
though in congress they have voted
against interference by the general
government in state affairs. and they
will do so again whenever the oppor-
tunity presents itself. Now, as to the
tariff, they must favor taking up the
question piecemeal at the short Sc
sion or of reforming it on free trade
lines at the long session. If the lat
ter, they will have the people to reckon

RIVAL INVENTORS.
They Test Their Airships IN the At
mosphere Above Long Island.

New York, Oct. 1.-Two airships
made ascents yesterday on Long Is
land which surpassed the achieve
ments of any other of their kind on
this continent. The airships were
the creations of rival inventors, Leo
Stevens and Edward C.. Boice, and
their performances were very much
in the nature of a competitive run,
both being in the air at the same
time and both faring about equally
well. The wind was light. 1t is
claimed that the Boice airship ascend
ed to a height of about 1000 feet and
sailed n course about two miles in
extent, The navigator finally alighting
by means of a ladder resting against
a telegraph pole near the point of
starting.
For the Stevens airship it is claimed
that the ascent was to n height of
1000 feet. After making Il flight of
about two miles the balloon in de-
scending came in contact with tele-
graph wires and became disabled, but
the navigator succeeded in alighting
in safety and the airship was rescued
without serious injury.

Anti-ImperiaIism.

Anti-imperialism What has become
of it? Only few months ago hundreds
of spellbinders were vociferating t heir
fears that the United States was bout
to become an empire. The bogy of i'm
perialism had taken possession of
many minds. A self-appointed iunta
of six eminent statesmen kindly Of
fered to relieve the president and CON
gress of the duties of government. We
were told that the Filipinos who had
not been exterminated were about to
be enslaved. We were also told that
the administration was building up an
empire on the ruins of democracy. APP
parently anti-imperialism was to be
the issue in the congressional and in
the next presidential elections.
Lc and behold anti-imperialism has
vanished says the Chicago Tribune.
"Abiit, eXcessit, evasit, eXupit." The
anti-imperialists have scuttled and
quit. They have not abandoned the
Filipinos, but they have given up their
issue. Not a murmur is heard on the
subject The anti-imperialists have left
some of the republican orators in the
vocative. Secretary Root, for instance,
was cooked. and primed, and loaded to
the muzzle on the Philippine question.
He was prepared to scatter grape shot
in all directions. Some of the orators
in southern Illinois were ready to vim
dicate the soldier boys on the firing
line. Now there is no one to attack,
