1t has been feared all along that as
soon as peace was declared in the
Philippines that Aguinaldo would
soon make arrangements TO come over
to this country and enter the lecture
field. 1t is announced from Boston
through the New York World that
the Filipino chieftain would embark
at Manila for the United States just
as soon as possible. going direct to
Boston to join bis friends and his
former secretary. Sixto Lopez. and
together they will tour the United
States to lecture up on the Islands
and create a sentiment for the in
dependence Of the Filipinos. 1t
does not seem that Aguinaldo was an
authoritative representative of the
Filipinos and why he should assume
to speak in behalf of that race is not
understood.

William Jennings Bryan does not
propose to let Grover Cleveland get
back into the democratic party if
the burning words that he is driving
at the eX-president are of any avail.
In a recent letter Mr.. Bryan again
scores Mr.. Cleveland for the odium
he attached to the democratic party
when he left it in 1896, and which
Mr.. Bryan says has never been
effaced. There is anoher wing of the
democratic Iarty which is not slow in
its belief that when it comes to the
odium business that Mr.. Bryan
spread it as thick over the party as
could possibly be imagined when he
assumed control Of the party in
1896. Mr.. Bryan still clings to the
free silver and anti-imperialism
as the paramount issue. In
enunciating issues the gentlemanpays
no attention to the people within
the ranks. 1t is presumed that the
democrats in the house Of represen-
tatives "eally understand bout as
well as anybody what should be said
and done with reference to democra-
tic issues. In a caucus held by the
members Of the party recently they
argued that antitrust and tariff
revision were two issues to be on
sidered in the campaign. Mr.. Bryan
holds different ideas, and evidently is
not in harmony with the house demo-
Gratis.

The Howard Spirit OF Dakota had
a birthday a few weeks ago and it
then attained the age Of five years.
Brer. OSbon has had some hard b; Eiies
to fight in those five years. and we
are glad to see that he has come ont
triumphant. We take great pleasure
in reading the Spirit. for its editor
is a mar who does not hesitate to
make known his thoughts. no matter
whom he hits. at the start it looked
like the Spirit would have a dificult
time to succeed in a field that was
literally oyerrun with newspapers.
but the survival of the fttest was
given a good illustration in this in
stance and the Spirit has demon
started its usefulness in the field it
occupies.

A story of Mark Twain.

When Mark Twain was beginning
his caree as a humorous lecturer, he
one day arranged with a woman ac-
quaintance that she should sit in q box
and start the applause when he should
stroke his mustache. The lecturer
started off so well that he did not need
any such help, however, for he caught
the audience from the first. By and
by, when not saying anything worthy
Of particular notice, he happened to
pull his mustache, and his anxious ally
in the box at once broke into furious
applause. Mark was all but broken up
by the m~isadventure, and ever after
ward carefully avoided employing
such help to success.

General e. S. Bragg, Of Wisconsin.
who holds the post Of consul general
at Havana, has written a letter
home that will doubtless cause him
some trouble in the near future. He
hasn't a very high estimation Of the
Cuban race and IN writing home to
his family he made this comment as
to the possibility of their future de-
v%elopment; "Uhcle Sam might as
well try to make a whistle out OF a
pigs tail as to make anything out Of
these people," If the Cubans make
any show to take exceptions to the
statement 1t is very likely that Cen
eral Bragg will hear something from
his own government.

County fairs are beginning to be
the rage again. Sioux Falls and
Huron r both arranging to have
them this fall. The county fair is
an institution in the east that is
successful beyond any western expec-
tations. Without a fair there is lit
tie opportunity for the people of the
state to show their products. Perhaps
they may not be seen by any eastern
individuals but for the city and
country folks to meet at the fair
grounds it is an exceedingly good
thing for each. The town people
have little opportunity to see what
is raised in their own county and
through the medium Of the fair there
is much enlightenment in this re-
spect. There is nor Or less preju-
dice against the fair proposition but
1t ought to be swept away for the
benefit of the community. Sioux
Falls and Huron are certainly doing
the right thing to foster tine fair
project, and The Republican hopes
that they will both be immensely
successful.

Pat and the Jockey.

Pat went to a race course the other
day and fell in with a number of sport
Ing friends who were betting on the
races. He was urged to bet, but stead
tasty refused until he saw two of his
friends win a large sum on one of the
races. Finally, after much urging, he
put half a row on a horse, from
which moment he became deeply inter.
ested.
AS the horses came past the judges
box Pats fingers clutched the back of
the seat and his eyes were wide with
excitement. The horse on which he
had bet finished sixth. Without a
word. but with a look of deep disgust,
he got up and hurried down to the
paddock where the jockeys were. Call
Ing the youngster who had ridden that
particular horse aside. Pat inquired in
deeply injured tones:

their expressions Of the success of
the races. It is reported that there

esting features of the afternoon.
There FIVE horses entered. and
were hitched TO buggies. and driven
by their owners The race was for
a half mile. First place was won
by Mr.. Hatfield. the best time being
j 2s. Some OF the Mitchell horsemen
had their driving horses with them
and they were sorry after the race
was over that they did not go in and
win the money. Frank Adams won
the farmers race without much oppo-
sition from the other horess-
The mile novelty was also an inter
esting ICE Each horse was paid a
purse for every quarter of a mile that
they won of the whole mile. Mer-
naugh's Cabiu went in and took every
quarter from the other horses, the
Queen of Diamonds being played for
a winner in the first quarter FAY

a special race was made up between
Dan McDermaid's Icicle Dan and a.

Frank Hatch was not satisfied with
the way his horse u and the purse
was doubled for another race today.
a game OF ball was played between
Alexandria and Bridgewater, the
former winning by a score that al

the superior team. The races of the
were very good indeed and
they were close enough to be excit-
so that the big crowd got its
moneys worth in every instance.
The closing feature of the day was

The ascension was a successful one.

Umbrellas.

Sometimes an umbrella that begins
to show tiny cracks and pinholes may
be mended at home. Open the UNI
brella and hold it up to the light. Mend
the holes on the inside with black silk
courtplaster cut slightly larger than
the holes. Sun umbrellas and parasols
r more effectively mended in this
way than umbrellas. which sometimes
require a repetition Of the mending
after being thoroughly wet.

An .Anima1.s Memorial Stone.

In the center of a field at Waverhill.
Suffolk. England. is a large fat stone
covering the grave of a mare that
died in 1852. inscribed as follows:
"Poka. She never made a false step.
Ecclesiastes iii. 10" A reference to
chapter and verse shows the following:
"For that which befalleth the sons of
men befaIl&h beasts. ever one thing
befalleth them; as the one dieth, SO
dieth the other" This is probably the
only instance Of a text from the Scrip
lures appearing on a memorial stone to
an animal.

Snake Bite and Whisky.

There is not on record an authenti-
Gated case of snake bite cured by
whisky. Plenty Of individuals bitten
while under the influence of liquor
have died, and large amounts Of alco.
hol have failed to save life in many
cases. Only about one in six Of those
bitten by venomous snakes dies. The
remaining five are cured by anything
they happen to have taken. Stimua-
ton is excellent, but the giving Of
whisky to drunkenness by lowering the
resistive vitality has undoubtedly been
a causative factor in many deaths sup
posedly from snake bite that would
otherwise not have occurred.-Ameri.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAnD,s REBuKE

At the meeting of the Nationa
Educational Association in Mime.
apolis last week among the speaker:
before the great body Of educator:
was Archbishop Ireland. One of the
evenings he spoke on the subject OF
Influence and Responsibilities Of
the Teacher" In a portion of his
address the archbishop gave some at
tention to those people who have
been wont to criticize this govern
ment on its relation to the Philip
pines Islands. Archbishop Ireland
has been a warm supporter of the
policy OF the government in its con-
duct Of affairs across the water and
what he had to say with reference
to the conditions will be appreciated
by the great majority OF the people.
while the critics can find what COM
fort they are entitled to in reading
this portion Of his address:
I am one of those who see in the
sequence Of the late Spanish-Ameri-
can war the guiding hand of a mighty
providence and the outburst OF forces
long gathering in the bosom of the
nation, sure. at one moment or
another to break out in resistless
self-assertion. Nevertheless, l shall
never deny that among the immed-
late causes Of war there are to be
numbered exaggerated statements,
lies too, and calumies. ceaseless ap-
peals, to wild reckless passion which
disfigured and disgraced the utter
ances of certain writer's. and certain
other manipulators OF public opinion.
/ know for a fact that instructions
going from the office Of a newspaper
to its European correspondent read
thiswise: "Wire all that makes
for war: nothing that tends to pre-
vent, or delay it," Grave indeed
were the causes, demanding from
America a solemn act: strong were
the provocatlCns given to ruf1e the
national temper; yet, we can never
prove the methods in which false
hood and passion play a large part:
and we can not but assert that it
were immensely better for the coun-
try If the reultS attained through
war should have been attained with
out the carnage and havoc of war.
How ungaurded and reckless and
how repreheDsible many statements
published at the present time as from
the PHILIPPINE Islands purporting to
tell dreadful deeds of cruelty and
injustice, for which on close -exami-
nation no foundation in fact is found.
] shall name in connection one in
stance, which I am particularly
pleased to censure.
A little while ago certain Catholic
newspapers raised the cry that prose-
lytism vas the order Of the day in
the schools Of Manila. The chief
officials, it was said and the teachers
in the normal being regularly Or
dained ministers. The matter was
investigated and it was discovered
that the chief officials and teachers
in the normal were not ministers
and that their own good sense. as
well as strict government orders.
confined them strictly to secular
matters. Newspapers, which bad
admitted into their columns such
statements, have since, indeed, re-
,pudiated them: but meanwhile much
needless excitement was raised and
much harm done.
