vent any tampering. through malice or
fear.

PRICES ADVANCED.
Government May Not Purchase Ffiar
Lands in Philippines.

Manila, March 16-There is posi-.
bility that the negotiations for the
purchase of the friar lands by the
government may fail because OF the
excessive prices asked by the religious
orders and commercial corporations
interested with the orders. Some OF
the estimates Of value submitted to
Gov. Taft and Archbishop Guidi show
the prices to be double the figures at
which the land was offered for private
sale last year. The government is
anxious to purchase the lands, but is
not willing to pay excessive amounts
for them.

this girl and her father being Cir
culated over the country by Davis
and his henchmen, to the effect
that the father was supporting
Davis and the girl did not blame
him for pardoning the negro on

that he had received a round sum

CANDIDATES AT HARDY.
A Lively Discussion -vandeventer rvnc-
lures the Governors Record In
Spirited Speech.

The discussion between the
candidates for governor, at Hardy
on Friday last was largely at
tended by the voters Of the North
ern District as we'll as by a re-
spectacle number from south OF
the line, mainly from Morgan and
Big Rock townships.
The speaking vas opened
promptly at the appointed hour
by Judge Carroll D. Wood, who
occupied an hour and fifteen
minutes. No speaker was ever
given more close or respectful at
tention. His speech was fepleto
with suggestions for the good OF
the state and her people and
abounded in recommendations
along the line of better highways
better schools and the improve
ment of our state charitable in
stitutions, that commended them
selves to the great crowd OF ar'
tentive listeners and should coni-
mend themselves to every one but
the demagogue and self-seeker.
He explained the attitude of the
Supreme Court on the antitrust
cases 80 clearly and forcibly and
showed so conclusively that the
court decided the cases appealed
to it upholding the antitrust act
that every one who listened to
the elucidation of the subject was
convinced that it had been here
totore discussed before the peo-
pie only to mislead them, to COW
or the direliction OF duty In the
Attorney General, Davis, and by
placing the fault elsewhere to
raise himself to place and power
by placing his own shortcomings
on other shoulders. Judge Wood
then announced that if Governor
Davis would find three reputable
lawyers in the state who would
not say that the Supreme Court
had decided the ANTITRUST cases
correctly he would withdraw from
the race.
Governor Davis was the next
speaker and was given good at
tention throughout his discourse.
He undertook to, and did to the
apparent satisfaction of some of
his hearers, explain why he
abandoned his two hundred and

Cuba as a Stale.

Senator Newlands, of Nevada,
has introduced joint resolution
in the United States Senate, in.
viting Cuba to enter the Ameri-
can Union as state. Itprovides
that Porto Rico be joined to Cuba
as a county, that the president
and vice-president of the repub.
lie become the governor and lieu
tenant governor, and that the
bonds which Cuba is about to is
sue, shall be given out as state
bonds. BY becoming a state in
the Union Cuba would gain free
trade with this country, which
would increase the value of her
sugar production to the extent of
doubling her income; she could
make her loan much easier and
at three per cent instead of five,
as her bonds would be guaranteed
by the United States government;
and she would doubtless increase
her prosperity in every way. The
union would not be the anncxa.
ton Of a subject or dependent
state, but an admission upon
equal terms as a sovereign state
of the United States. Senator
Newlands declares that we should
make the offer and that the pres
ent moment, when Cuban affairs
are before Congress, is an oppor-
tune time.

thirty cases against the trusts
and why he refused to amend his
complaints, intro luce his testi-
mony and proceed to judgement
He justified his pardon record in
a way that appealed strongly to
the prejudices and sentiment OF a
few and the remainder OF his
speech dealt in generalities along
the old line. Governor Davis re-
ceived frequent and liberal ap-
plause throughout his remarks.
Mr.. Vandeventer was the last
speaker and owing to the lateness
of the hour many who would have
remained were forced to 60 home
and thereby lost the pudding
and Dip of the repast. He ar
raigned Gov. Davis administra-
ton 80 forcefully and in such
scaehing language that the few
Davis followers who had remained
in the audience WINGED under his
scathing invective. He charged
that Davis and his followers in
the legislature did not want to
fight the trusts and said that one
of the judges of the Supreme
Court sent to Senator King an
amendment of eleven lines to be
incorporated into his antitrust
bill that would have made that
measure effective without doubt,
but that Davis would not allow
the amendment, He alluded to
the manner in which Davis had
bulldozed poor old Auditor Mon
roe by exacting promise OF his
support to Davis and to vote for
the purchase of any farm he,
Davis, wanted to purchase. And
then showed from the evidence
before the ways and means COM
mittee of the house how Davis
tried to force the other four men,
bers of the board to buy the AL
theimer farm for SS7 800, when
he had in his pocket a written
proposition from Altheimer to sell
it for $4,000, which he kept
secret from the other members
and charged that it was the pur-
pose of Davis in this to steal the
difference, S12, 500 from the state.
He attacked Gov. Davis par
don record vigorously and dwelt
at length on the pardon of the
negro, Pomp Brown who had
seized, pulled from her horse and
dragged into the woods a young
white girl by the name of Nc
Cullough and tried to perpetuate
