BRUTALITY IN THE PHILIPPINES.


 It has beeu the contention oi the Democrats in congress for several sessions that there is too little of the transactions in the Philippine islands known in this country. They have insisted that a military censorship cx- isted at Manila, which concealed and kept from the public a great deal of information which the people, and particularly con- gress, ought to know
 It IS now being developed, af- ter much prodding and persist encv. that these suspicious were justified and that crime and brutalitieS to the helpless Fili- pinos have been committed by a portion of our soldiery in the past two years that are dis graceful and horrifying to our civilization.
 Ithas been also developed that the report of Major Gardner, provincial governor of the province of Tavabas, in the ar chipelago, has been in the war department for weeks and has only recently come to light through congressional resolu- tiOns.
 This report exposes a part of these military crimes The trial by courtmartial of Major Wal Ter of the marine corps for order ing eleven prisoners to be shot, has developed the complieity of other officers in the brutal and inhuman practices upon the people who were at their mercy.
 Testimony adduced shows that Major E. F. Glenn of the Twenty. fifth infantry. and Brig adler General Jacob II Smith, are equally, If not more. culpa- ble than the officer under trial.
 The testimony of Major Wal Ter in his own behalf IS that General Smith instructed him to burn and; that the more killed and burned the better pleased he (Smith1 would be; that 1t was no time to take prisoners" Wal Ter further says that he asked General Smith 10 define the age limit for killing and he replied: Everything over ten
 John K. Parsons, staff core spondent of the New York Herald at Manila and now in Washington, says he heard Gen eral Smith (then colonell say in the Oriente hotel in Manila that 1t was his understood order that no prisoners should be turned i'll by his regiment. There are oth- CT witnesses who corroborate the statements made by Waller.
 The president has become ap- prised of these transactions, some of them nearly two years old, and has ordered, through the secretary of war. that Gen eral Smith and Major Glenn be courtmartialed and thorough investigation be made of all the military operations in the Phil ippines.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE.
For Coughs and Colds in Children

T have not the slightest hesi- tancy in recommending Chamber lain's Cough Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs or colds" says Chas. M. Cramer,
 Esq, q wellknowe watch make of Colombo, Ceylon. "It has been some two years since the city dis pensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and have repeatedly used it and it has always proved beneficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. IL is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them ot hoarseness. 1 have persuaded many to try this valuable medi
 cine, and they are as well pleased as myself over the results" ;" For sale by Brown, MeQuiston X Go.
 Saturday the Democrat publish ed a card from four leading dealers warning consumers against short weight bags of bran and corn chops, urging them to insist on full weight of 100 pounds, by which means it is hoped to eliminate short weight packages. The average consumer must rely almost wholly upon the merchant with whom he deals as to weights. It is an out rage on the public tnat short weight packages of any kind should be put on sale, and the merchant who will not protect his customers from such an imposition is not deserving of their patronage. It Is q good idea for the consumer to weigh his purchases occasionally, and thus verify the integrity of the merchant with whom he deals The honest dealer will be glad of it, and the fellow who makes his profits on short weights should be found out.-Ark.

= Beef is getting to be a luxury. This is pretty good evidence of d beef trust. Ark. Democrat.
 We are not prepared to believe the increase in the price of beef is due so much to the operations of the trust as to the scarcity of cat tie. The demand for beef has been immensely heavy for the past two or thre years owing to the large shipments to South Africa, Europe and the Philippine islands. The drouth which prevailed so generally last year..also had a ten- deney to shorten the supply, for cattlemen and stock raisers all ov- CT the country were compelled to dispose of large portion of their herds on account of feed Besides, pasturage, or the area in the west which formerly was devoted en- tirely to stock-raising, is rapidly being lessened by its adaptation to agricultural purposes. This, of course. must also lessen the size of the herds. We believe beef will be high for several years. In the meantime, the farmer who takes advantage of the situation and in- crease, the size of his herds and the quality of his breeds will lose nothing by the prevailing condi- tion.-Ft.

Progress.
EVEN PING PONG IN WYOMING
Vhe General Is Enthusiastic Over
the Prospects for Fort
Smelling.

IRON, The Journal bureau, Room SO, Post
Building, Warrington.
Washington. Aug. 11.--General Corbin
adjutant general OF the army, has re-
turned from his official inspection Of
western and northwestern army posts.
He visited fourteen states, and between
inspections put in his time looking over
the country and taking needed rest.
He says that the development Of the
northwest along all lines since his last
visit there is almost beyond belief. He
notes specially that in the Dakotas and
Manitoba the little shacks and sod houses
of the pioneers Of fifteen years ago have
all disappeared and in their places are
thriving towns and the finest agricultural
territory that ever met human eye. The
growth of the twin cities amazed him.
He was not prepared for 1t. The Mime
apolis and ST. Paul of the old days. never
promised the beautiful and prosperous
cities that now bear these names.
General Corbin is enthusiastic over the
prospects for the improvement of Fort
Smelling, and 1t is quite evident that his
trip has done much to create this enthu
s!asm. Smelling Is In the heart of a
much more important country than Cen
eral Corbin had expected to see. He
thinks that the army officers and others
who have not been west and mort Invest
for fifteen years cannot grasp the Won
derful development Of these regions at

travellers tales. Speaking more par
ticularly of wyoming, which in the early
days was wilderness, he says:
Il saw better dressed men and women
at all points in this northwestern terri
tory than you would see in a trip through
the rural districts in the east. At New
castle there was a rapping on our car
window. and, looking out, saw Repre-
sentative Mondell and a company OF
ladies and gentlemen eager to give us
welcome. They were as fashionably
dressed as would have been a party at
Newport, and, what do you think, they
left a ping-pong tournament to come down
TO the station to greet us! Ping-pong in
Wyoming!'
What was the political sentiment in
the states you visited?' the general was
asked.

politics mentioned in all my tour
Everywhere I went the men were busy
with their crops and their mines and were
too much engaged in keeping along will
