STOP THE ISLANDERS

One of the worst tendencies OF the
average cheap journalist is to be coz
tinually fipging at the army auo lis
officers Usually the men who write
these attacks know absolutely nothing
about the facts and care less. They did
not serve in the army, and nothing
short of an act of CONSUMPTION could
have made.them do so. Their motive is
fsrfrom patrioticand the average news
raper reader has already learned the
yalae that can be placed upon such
opinions Much of their spleen is the
product of jealousy and much of it
comes from a desire to jump on any
and everything, literally to be "agIn
the government" The trouble is that
some people are misled by these false
statements of the men who were not
behind the guns, and the impression
has gone abroad that there is some
thing really wrong IN the system. If
this is true the cheap psragrapher of a
cheap paper is not the man to provide
a remedy, The army has plenty Of
competent officers ready ana willing to
provide remedy for the so-called ills,
but 1t must be first clearly established
that ills exist.
If the average writer who has FL ed
his columns with nauseating and con-
temptlble attacks on Gen. Jacob Fl.
Smith had been on Samar it is gu te
probable that the kill and burn order
would not have been written, these
brave soldiers of the Faber pencil would
have given just one order aud that
would have been al order to retreat
without delay. That the popping of
champagne has much sweeter
sonnd than the pop popping of a
Nauser even army officers will not de-
n, and the evidence is that most of
the journalists who are attacking the
army are very much more familiar
with the sound of the former
1t is time for the cowardly and con-
temptlble attacks to cease. The army
has sustained itself creditabIy wher-
ever it has gone and the same cannot

one-year-old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
F. Green, of Is Queen street, West

filed with water
There were no eye-witnesses to the

which it occurred is not known. Mrs
Green, the mother was attending
church services at the time She car
ried her infant to church with her
leaving the little boy at home in care
of the cook. The little fellow began
playing about the house, and while
the attention of the cook was attracc-
ed in another direction he went out
on the back porch A few minutes
later a lady who resides next door
came over to the Green home to see
Mrs. Green. Not finding her in the
house she walked through to the back
porch, and there gruesome sight
was revealed. Lying in the half
filed barrel was the dead body of the
child.
The body was quickly taken from
the water, but life was extinct, and eff
forts at resuscitation were futile.

The Best Remedy For Group.

This is the reason when the woman

fashioned remedy for Group, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Cbamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient to "throw
up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re-
nefin a shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough appears and
il will prevent the attack. 1t never

Vice-Governor Wright of the Phil
ippines would like to see the doors of
those islands thrown open to Chinese
immigration. The islands are much
in need of skilled laborers, and he
says the Chinese would supply the de-
mand and at the same time teach the
Filipinos many industries.
This is just another instance of Gov
ernor Wright's clear headedness and
sound sense. The Philippines are not
our only territory that would be ben

Hamilton King, United States Min
lister to Siam has limited that King

to visit this country as a guest of
the nation, 1t is further said that his
imperial majesty has set apart 900, 900
taels $3.50, OOO) to pay the expenses of
such visit. Secretary Hay computes
the cost Of entertaining his royal Wis
itor at $40, 600. If for this outlay the
King will leave behind him the large
sum above named and give a free
show all along the route, the visit will
not be a bad investment. A real King
travelling with full retinue, will be
something new. Foreign princes are
no longer novelties. but an Oriental
monarch traversing the country in
full regalia would be worth while
Let the invitation sought be extended

puts Buffalo Bill out of business for

RECEIPTS SHOW INCREASE.
Columbus Warehouses Have Received
35,627 Bales of Cotton.

OSgoGf OctSS VI AOlIOns
Columbus, Ca, Nov. 1.-THE
Columbus warehouses have re-
ceived so far this season 35.627
bales of cotton against 29,S58 bales up
to this time last lear. The present
stock is 1892 bales, against 11,199
bales on Nov. Is, 1902
1t has been claimed that there will
be an abrupt falling off In local receipts
after Dec. /, as the crop is mostly
marketed, but conservative opinions
now are Columbus cotton receipts
for this season will not differ very
greatly from those of other seasons.
Last year the warehouses received CO.
900 bales. The weather this fall has
been extremely favorable for the gath.
ering of the crop, and it is claimed
that the long period of clear, warm
weather has developed a considerable
top crop. Many planters claim, how
ever, that the top crop is inconsidera.
