A staggering blow was delivered
to republican claims in regard to the
pacihcation Of the Filipinos last
week by deacon" Buencamino, so
called because of his activity in
connection with one of the mission
airy societies now laboring in the
islands. The Deacon, who, by
his own admission, holds a "fat
office" in the employ of the Philip
pine Commission, was heralded as
typical example OF the pacifed
Filipino and was brought before the
House Committee on Insular Affairs
to convince the misguided democrats
OF the entire untenableness of their
views. However, while he tried
to testify as his employers would
have wished, he was forced to admit
that the majority Of the Filipinos,
himself included, expected that they
would, on the complete termination
OF the instruction, be made

In this issue We publish an order

is an injunction against the miners
at Tunnelton, restraining them from
most everything in connection with
the Company and its property at
Tunnelton, except breathing the air

Over in the adj lining Senatorial
district composed of the counties OF
Monongalia, Marion and Taylor,
they have been having a hot old
time among the Republicans for the
nomination. Charley Swisher OF
Fairmont, and George &. Sturgiss OF
Morgantown, are the candidates.
Each has his owe county and the
fight was in Taylor, which went for
Swisher by less than a hundred
majority. The following from the
Morgantown Dominion is one of the
echoes of the scrap
1t is funny to hear the Sturgiss
people tell of their experiences with
the Swisher crowd in Taylor coutny.
One OF the most laughable stories is
about one of the Swisher men en-
gaging local county officer into a
controversy about whether or not the
negro has soul. The Swisher man
asserted that he did not and the
Monongalisn scrapped for his side
manfully claiming that the race in
question have souls. While they
were arguing another Swisher man
was getting all the votes that were
loose at Webster.

The old saying that "murdcr will
out" appears to be receiving anoth-
er verifcation in the Treasury
Department. 1t will be remembered
that some time ago Mr.. Wilbur f.
Wakeman, then appraiser at the port
of New York, preferred the most
sensational charges against certain
silk Importers and certain govern
ment officials who had been party to
the frauds. An attempt was made
to suppress the charges. Lyman J.
Gage, then Secretary of the Treasury
dscountenanced nhe investigation,
took sides with the silk importers,
discredited Mr.. Wakeman and event.
ually recommended Wakeman's dis.
missal, which recommendation, as
it was urged by influential New
York politicians, Mr.. Roosevelt
acted upon, but as it turns out
against his own convictions. Mr..
Wakeman, being sure of his facts
forced the issue with the result that
Mr.. Gage felt compelled to resign.
But Mr.. Wakeman was not even
content with this. He wrote TO the
President, who at first resented his
letter, but subsequently ordered an
investigation by man whom he
felt he could trust. As a result
there has been received at the
Treasury Department report from
this man. w. Wickham Smith,
which is most sensational in its
character and rumor has it that
several persons will find themselves
in Jail and number of regulations
will be severely smirched when the
affair becomes public. The Treasury
officials refuse positively to discuss
the report which they admit has
been received but the friends of
Wakeman have already started a
campaign looking 10 his reinstate-
meat which they regard as the only
practical vindication and reparation
which the President can make for
the injury already done by the
action of Mr.. Gage and himself.
1t is alleged that the government has
been swindled out of millions by the
fraudulent importers and their
friends in the Treasury Department.
