means to the people of the United
States an annual expenditure OF
I $50, 600, 900, and which means that
expenditure not for one year but
continuously question of minor inn
portance? And that is not the most
serious phase of the situation. Re-
fleet for moment upon the effect of
the war upon our American soldiers,
officers and men. 1t is brutalizing
them as is plainly shown by the evil
dence which has been given before
the Philippine Committee. And
why this cruelty? Is it in accord
ance with the past histories OF our
army2 Mol And for good reason.
In the Civil War men fought for the
principles in which they believed,
the rights of the sovereign states
on the one side, the preservation of
the Union on the other. All were
sincere, All were fighting for their
convictions. Ministers, doctors,
merchants, farmers, the best men in
the country on both sides, made up
the rank and file of the armies. To
certain extent the same was true
in the Spanish war when the best of
our young men enlisted to uphold
the flag and to free Cuba. But
whom have we in the Philippines
Men who have enlisted for $l3 per
month. Men who enlisted generally
only because other means of gaining
livelihood were barred to them
Stop and think of the men you know
who have enlisted-not as volunteers
in the first fever of the war-but as
regulars for the paltry pay Of a
private. What manner OF men are
they2 Is it any wonder that their
officers cannot restrain them aud
that they practice cruelties and
avail themselves Of methods OF tor
ture? The Filipinos are human be-
ings with hopes and aspirations like
our own. They have seen the light
as the American colonists saw IL In
1875 and now is IL to be wrested
from them and are they to yield up
their hope Of liberty? PaciGed2'
Yes! Temporarily, perhaps, at the
muAels Of American rifles, but let
those rifles be turned away and
their hopes and ambitions will re-.
turn and they will renew the strug.
gle. We have killed their men and
sometimes their children and even,
perhaps, though accidentally, their
women. VIII they forgive US and
accept our ruler Never except ia
the presence Of large armed forces.
To preserve peace ia the Philippines
we must maintain an army of from
forty 10 City thousand men in theis
lands for years 10 come, perhaps,
forever and this 70 conquer a PEG

is to us Can the Philippine ques

The sensational story sent out by
correspondents, of combination OF
the democrats in the Senate with the
beet sugar senator's to prevent ac-
ton on the Cuban reciprocity bill,
the Philippine bill and tho Nicara-
guam Canal bill is positively denied
by the democratic leaders. The
story may have originated with the
beet sugar senator's who are being
driven to desperate straits, but the
democrats have heard nothing about
it except from the newspapers. As
far as the Nicaraguan Canal bill rs
concerned there is little hope Of Sc
curing an appropriation for that
purpose. Treasury receipts for the
past two months have not been up
to expectations and there will be "a
comparatively small margin between
receipts and expenses so that il Is
believed most probable that senator

All last week in the Senate was
devoted to the consideration Of the
Philippine question and today Sena
tor Lodge viii practically open the
defense. The House OF Represen-
tatives passed the Omnibus Public
Buildings Bill, the Agricultural
and the District Of Columbia appro-
priation bills and tomorrow will
take up the Omnibus territorial bill
which grants statehood to Oklahoma,
including Indian Territory, New
Mexico and Arizona. The bill may
precipitate considerable fight on
the floor of the House but its advo-
Gates say that they have sufficient
votes pledged to pass it and they
hope to get it acted upon without
serious opposition, although it is
known that the republican leaders
are opposed to it and only a show of
strength great enough to overrule
the Speaker insured its receiving a
hearing.

Apropos Of the Philippine qucs
ton there has been adopted by the
Senate resolution calling on the
Secretary Of War FOR a statement OF
the expense to which this country
has been put in the administration
Of the military affairs Of the islands
Secretary Root has shown a decided
tendency 10 avoid making this re
port during this session and would
doubtless like to postpone the state
meut until after the fall campaign.
He has magnilicd the difiioultiesand
in the meantime has refused 10 fur
nish even an approximation, which
is all the democratic Senators who
fathored the resolution desire To
the so, 0O0, 900 paid as a purchase
price for the islands may be added

purposes for the first six months,
from May to November, 1898, but
from that time on no figures are 10
be had and the most persistent in
quiry by senators and correspond
ents has failed TO secure any compe,
tent information 1t is estimated
that the total cost up to November,
1899, was 500, 900, 0OO but there all
estimates fail and If the Secretary Of
War has his way the country will
not know until next December.

Austin Reveille, May 3: After six days
OF Indifferent luck in running wild horses
In lone, Smith Greek and Reese river
valleys, the crowd mbled for that
purpose disbanded Thursday after cap
turing about 250 head OF wild horses,
branded and unbranded. A large num-
Der we're also shot. All in all, including
colts, it can be estimated that the range
has been depopulated OF nearly 450 head.
II was also proven thst the only and
proper way to capture the horses is by
building trap corrals in Smith Creek val
ley, for the horses driven from the upper
part OF that valley and lone valley will
turn back on reaching the Buttes opposite
Peterson's ranch in Smith creek.
In Wednesdays drive there was over
six hundred head brought from lone val
ley, and on reaching the Buttes the fun
began. Horses were running in every
direction. and on arriving at Reese the
herd had diminished to about l20, out OF
that number SO were corraled after miles
OF barb wire fencing had been torn down
by the horses.
In the herd captured 122 were for sale.
A horse buyer was on the grounds and
made an offer for the horses. His price
was small and as j. r. Wilson had a
standing offer OF $5 a head, he got the
horses, l22, which he shipped yesterday
over the N. @. The horses are for the
eastern market and are in charge of AL
Wilson.
The money derived from the sale OF
the horses will be divided pro rata among
those taking part In the round up after
| all expenses have been paid.
1t is proposed to hold another round
up this Fall, trap corrals being placed in
certain localities in Smith creek valley.

rhe New Same of Ping Pong

Ping Pong, or table tennis. has become
a fashionable fad in this country as in Eng
land, where it originated. 1t is played on
a table with celluloid balls and small
rackets, and. though resembling tennis,
differs from it materially in the rules and
the methods OF play. In little book en-
titled, "Ping Pong: The Game and How
to Play It." Arnold Parker. an English
expert, tells all about this new fad. His
explanations are made clear by many
cuts, and the book may be commended
as a good guide to one OF the most sensi-
BILE of parlor diversions.

Roosevelt Upholds Philippine Policy.

Roosevelt UphoIds Philippine Policy.
President Roosevelt, addressing in
Washington the congress of the Sons of
the American Revolution, said in part:
"You come here tonight from eyery
quarter-from every state of the union
from the islands of the eastern seas.
The republic has put up it's flag in those
islands and the flag shall stay there.
May we now show our fealty to the
great men who did the great deeds of the
past, not alone by word, but by deed. by
30 shaping the policy of this great re.
public as to make it evident that we are
not unworthy Of our sires. They did
justice, and we will do Justice. Thew
did justice as strong men and not as
weaklings. With righteousness must
go strength to make that righteousness
Of avail. And in the names of the
mighty men Of the past ask each man
here to do his part in seeing that this
nation remains true in deed as we'll as
word to the ideals Of the past; to re.
member that we can no more afford to
show weakness than we can afford to do
wrong"

CHAMPION OF
IRRIGATION.
From Forestry and Irrigation.

Mr.. Newlands has come to be regarded
as the champion of national irrigation in
the House Of Representatives By his
tireless activity and unremitting perse-
yerance he has kept before the attention
OF the mempers OF the House, and OF the
country at large. the importance of ma
tional construction Of large storage reser-
voirs, and Of works for diverting rivers,
the magnitude of which places them be-
yond the scope Of private or even Of State
enterprise. He was born at Natchez,
Mississippi, August %. 1S48, and entered
the class of 1867 at Yale College. where
he remained until the middle of the Ju-
nior year.
Later he studied at the Columbian Law
School and was admitted to the District
Of Columbia bar. Afterwards he removed
to San Francisco. where he practiced law
until 1886, when he became trustee of
the estate Of William Sharon, q former U.
S. Senator from Nevada. In 1888 he be-
came citizen of the State Of Nevada,
and was actively interested in irrigation
development. He was elected to the
Fifty-third and subsequent Congresses,
has served on the Committee on Banking
and Currency and the Committee on For
eign Affairs, and is now member of the
Ways and Means Committee and the
Committee on Irrigation.
His most notable effort was the prep
aration of the so-called Newlands bill,
which was introduced into the Fifty sixth
Congress-, and which in substance, incor-
porated in the Hansbrough bill. passed
the Senate during the Fifty-seventh
Congress. This bill is intended to create
fund for the reclamation Of the arid
lands. proceeds from the disposal Of the
public land from the Western States being
set aside for that purpose. The bill is
now before The House of Representatives
and has received the serious considera-
tion of various public men, including the
President.

Good breeding cattle are in brisk de-
mand. They ought to be, and those
who have them should arrange to keep
them and get something out of them.
One man may not be able to get as
much out of them in the way of profit
as another, but there is no reason why
he should not try and learn how the
other man does. One will never learn
new things if he does not try. High
class cattle command high class prices,
better now .han ever before. The scrub
is wastebasket product.
