"1rrigation in the Philippines"

is not war; it is vandalism, it is not
American, it is barbarous. If not or
dered by the highest authority it
would never have been perpetrateA
by American soldiers, except, per-
haps, in isolated cases.
The democrats believe in keeping
the military authority subordinate to
the civil power. 40 republic can exist
that does not do so. The democrats
intend to investigate these cruelties
when they have the power, and punish
the guilty, however high in command.
They will Investigate the expense ac-
counts, both at home, in the Philip
pines and in Cuba. The transport sery=
ice and the purchase of supplies will
be investigated. Tney will find out
who received the large sums that have
been raised by extreme taXtion and II
the money was squandered on high
living in Cuba and elsewhere. who was
"hxed'' to stay out of politics and who
was aided to stay in. What secret in
trigue set free the Hanna pets, Rath-
bone and Nicely? Why Buen Canine
was ordered by the administration to
come to this country to testify, when
the request of the democrats for other
witnesses was refused? a page might
be filled with other details that will
be investigated and from the amount
OF evidence that has been forced to the
surface there is q vast amount behind.
To do this the democrats must elect
a majority of the next house OF repre-
sentatives and this they will do, if the
people agree with them that the cur
tain should be raised and the truth
known.
No wonder the republicans are on
| the defensive and are endeavoring to
switch the thoughts of the people
| from their misdoings by claiming that
the army is being attacked. They
know, however, that it is the orders
| issued to the army that is the main
| point and the officers of the army, for
| their own honor and reputation, and
the honor of the United States will
| welcome the change.

A LAZY vIRe1N1AN.
Put Out One of His Eyes to Save the
trouble of Squirting When
Ont Hunting.

During one of Senator Daniels ia.
nous campaigns he struck little
town in the central part of Virginia
which was said to contain some of the
LATEST men in the old dominion. He
was in the midst of group on the
porch of a small hotel, when process
sion approached which looked like a
funeral, says the Chicago Tribune. He
asked who was to be buried.
'Jack Sheridan" they told him.
Poor Jack! He was a good-natured,
good-for-nothing lazy fellow, who
seemed to have little native talent
for drawing and spent most of his time
making pictures for the children. He
lived upon the few fish he caught and
the squirrels he killed, but mostly on
the donations of his neighbors.
$50 poor Jack is dead, is he?" said
Senator Daniel.
"No, he amt dead 'xactly," was the
reply of one of the loungers on the
porch.
"Not dead-not dead? Yet you are
going to bury him?"
tact is, senator, mes got Zoo 1n1eT-
nal, ALFRED lazy to live. We can't at
ford him any more. He's got SO lazy
that the grass is beginning to grow
over his shoes-so everlastin' lazy that
he put out one of his own eyes to save
the trouble of squintin' when he was
out a-gunnin'."
But" says the senator, "'this won't
do. It will disgrace my constituency
Try him awhile longer, can't you?"
Cant do it; too late-eoffp cost
$1.10. Must go on now"
About this time the procession halt,
ed and the senator promised, if they
would let Jack out, to send over a
barrel of corn to the unfortunate.
Upon this announcement the lid OF
the coffin slowly raised, Jack Sheridan
sat up with an effort, opened his one
good eye, looked at the senator and
asked:
SIS the corn shucked?"
"No," replied Senator Daniel, mot
shuclsed."
"Then," said Jack, as he sank into
the coffin, "go on with the funeral"

Just for n Blind.

With a flourish of trumpets it is an
nounced that Representative Little
field, of Maine, is preparing bill for
the regulation of trusts and combine
tions in restraint of trade. The repub-
lean press takes particular pains to
ndd that this bill is being prepared at
the particular request of President
Roosevelt, and with amusing eager
ness the public is assured that Repre-
sentative Littlefield is good lawyer.
All this claptrap goes in very nicely
with the statement that the president
and Attorney General Knox are to
make speeches in favor of restrictive
laws. And, meantime, one can only
wonder whether there are any people
remaining who are deceived with this
fake antitrust aggressiveness, and if
there are, how long they will remain

DEMOCRATS WILL DO.
Matters Which Republicans Are Try
ing to Cover Up VIII BE
Thoroughly Aired.

The republicans are in a mess;
they are unable to agree among
themselves on the most important
legislation. The exposure of the
footing of the Cuban treasury to aid
the sugar trust, the bribing of Gomez
and the cruelties in the Philippines
have put them on the defensive.
With admirable righteousness they
attempt to divert public opinion from
their own sins of omission and COM
mission by charging the democrats
with attacking the army. The pres,
dent sets the pace by making stump
speech at Arlington, and the great
trust-controlled daily newspapers
take up the refrain. The little or
gans edited by the postmasters give
tongue in unison.
This effort to put the democrats in
the attitude of assailing the army
will prove abortive. The common
soldier is all right, and most of the
Officers from Gen. Miles down. They
obey orders; that is the duty of the
soldier.
| The democrats do protest and will
| forever protest against the issuing
and carrying out of orders to make
ga bowling wilderness" of any terri
tory under the American flag.
They protest that to kill all ovel
