people Of Eddyville and the surround
ing country last evening one of his
able discussions of political questions
Marked attention was given by the
hearers as Mr.. Lacey pointed out the
conditions which exist at the present
time and contrasted the substantial
results which have come to the nation
through the administration of the
republican policies, with the dire
calamity experience during the free
trade administration of Cleveland and
the adoption of the democratic falacies
of those years.
Visit of keIlys Army.
The major wildly refreshed the
memory with panorama of Kelly's
army moving in their little boats down
the Des Moines. all strong healthy

POLICY.

ts word of only half dozen letters, but 1t has q whole lot of meaning. Just now it's the policy" of the police man to stop gambling for few cents every day. because those nickels ana dimes if laid away would buy quite few pounds of tea or coffee every year; just think of it, 5 cents per week Tor a year would buy half a dozen pounds of health bracing, nice tasting tea. Isn't it too bad our cops cannot get after the gosh blamed beef trust and put an end to their policy of rob ping the people? Then again, if the bluecoats could only get after the pol icy'' of doctors charging dollar, in- stead of 25 cents. for vaccinattng, how many good dollars would have Heen saved by the people of Water bury during the past six weeks if such q policy could have been enforced!

BOSS cRoKER's DAIRY FARM.
viii Make Butter and Cheese and
sterilize Milk,

London, May 18.-The dark design
OF forming a corner in milk, is attribut-
ed to Boss Croker by a correspondent
OF the Financial Times, who is now
becoming acquainted with the Let
combe enterprise for the first time.
he says: BOSS Croker has bought a
large farm In Berkshire, the richest
milk district in England. He intends
I 0 e a factory on a stupendous
scale for the manufacture of cheese,
butter and sterilized milk. He has
ALREADY contracted with nearly so of
the prominent farmers in the neigh
borhood to take all their milk at
prices between 4 and 6 cents a gal
Ion than they have been receiy-
ing. Boss Croker has applied for and
received permission to copy and fol-
low the methods of the royal daries."
n correspondent of the World call
cd upon MI. Croker at Vantage and
found him immersed in bucolic pur-
suits. He was dressed in a suit of
checks, with riding CATERS and heavy
boots. He wore a tweed cap and
with a hunting crop under his arm
was going around with the workmen
on the place. He looked well and has
seemingly found a new interest in
life on his dairy farm. He has lust
added another 60 acres to his property
by a purchase from Mr.. Silver, the
squire of Letcombe.
The land adjoins Manor farm, with
which he acquired the honorary dis
tinction Of being lord of the Manor of

MIXING HISTORICAL NOTES.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: It is
rather odd that Senator Vest as well
ais Senator Tillman put that Lincoln
Stephens Hampton roads peace con-
ference in 1864, as the report of their
speeches in the Congressional Record
does. It took place in February, 1865,
which makes the stupidity of Jeffer-
son Davis in standing out for the rec
ognition Of the confederacy by Lin
coin all the more marked. Appomat-
tox was only a little over two months
away, and yet Davis had the e%ffront-
cry to demand independence when. the
resistance that lie and his supporters
had been making to the national au-
thority for four years was on the
point Of collapse. In the entire his
tory of the American republic there
is not another instance of blindness
and madness quite so striking as
Davis failure to see, right on the eve
Of Lees surrender, the smash-up for
his side which every one of his advis-
ers saw.

BEGINNINGS OF ARBoR DAY.

New York Mail and Express: Now
comes the Country Gentleman, the
best and most interesting of the agri-
cultural weeklies, and bowls over the
accepted account of the late j. Ster-
ling Morton's invention of Arbor
day. The Country Gentleman calls
attention to the fact that it proposed
an Arbor day in 1856 and urged the
project repeatedly in that year and
in 1857, whereas Mr.. Morton never
interested himself in the matter until
1872. 1t is admitted, however, that
he did more. than any other man or
agency to bring about the actual. OBJ
servance of the day. He may truly
be said to have been the father Of
Arbor day, though the Country Gen.
t1eman sets up what appears to be a
perfectly valid claim to being it's
grandfather. Morton did an excellent
work in this matter. There is glory
enough in it for both the Nebraskan
and our venerable and dignified agri-
cultural contemporary of Albany. 2,

WHY We REMAIN.

Minneapolis Journal: In the debat,
on the Philippine bill in the senate
yesterday, Senator. Hoar declared tina
the war in the Philippines would moi
have occurred had our government
declared its purpose to recognize
Philippine, independence when GU,
treaty obligations were fulfilled and
a government had been established
in the Philippines:
Senator Hoar ought to know by
this time something about the his.
tory OF our business in the Philip.
pines. He prefers writing the history
of the Spanish war on the basis of his
own inextinguishable prejudices. It
has been demonstrated beyond the
possibility of successful contradiction
that before the treaty Of Paris was
ratified. Aguinaldo and his colleagues
had definitely, determined to make
war upon the United States and drive
our troops out .of the islands, and
that on the night previous to the
news of the ratification Of the treaty.
a t~reacherous assault was made upon
troops at Manila and war a
foutrance was declared by Aguinaldo.
The theory of Senator Hoar is that
II government, having acquired the
islands by treaty with Spain and un-
dertaken to perform many serious OBJ
legations connected with the SOW
ereignity thereof, was bound to bow
to the dictation, of an adventurer who
had pledged himself to lead a portion
OF the people of Luzon to the looting
OF Manila and the massacre Of all for.

archipelago, having pulled down our
nag, and SO leave the Filipinos Of the
eighty tribes to fight out the question
OF supremacy among themselves.
In discussing the bill Senator For
aker said that we would stay in the
islands until we have established law
and order and good government there
and that we might stay there "even
longer than has been expected"
The work mapped out by
the senator will keep us there some.
longer than Senator Hoar wants
to stay; somewhat longer than
Senator Tillman wants us to stay.
We do not as nation like to repudi-
ate our obligations and the treaty of
Parls imposes upon us obligations
which have no terminal point that
mortal vision can now detect.

INVADING THEIR FIELD.

If the creamery men thought they
had removed the element of. competi.
ton when they secured passage OF
the law practically prohibiting the
manufacture Of oleomargarine they
made a serious mistake. The packers
are now preparing to embark in the
business Of making butter and be-
cause of their greater capital, better
facilities both for manufacturing and
distributing their product will un-
Ndoubtedly give the creamery men a
hard russell. The latter have con.
graduated themselves too soon. They
thought that when the anti-oleo bill
became a law nothing would prevent
them from deceiving the consumers
with their made over stuff, the com.
bination of old and rancid butter. col
oring matter and a little cream, but
instead of having the field to them
selves they find that they are going.
to have competition for which they
were not prepared. The packers as
sert their ability to make better and
cheaper butter than the creameries
and promise to prove this to the sat
isfaction of everybody The butter
makers may not like it, but the pack
ers propose to give the consumers
the benefit of legitimate competition
and the announcement is received
much good feeling by the people
who are now compelled to pay fancy
prices for renovated and .doctored
stuff sold under the guise of "pure.
creamery butter.

Even the best informed on modern
political history of the country will
probably not recognize in the
Hon. George H. Williams,
candidate for mayor of Port
land. Ore, the distinguished gen
tleman who some years ago acquired
fame under the appelation of 'Laund-

good reports now given concerning
him it is to be hoped that he may
prove more successful in the coming
campaign than he was when Grant
named him for chief justice Of the
supreme court.
