Mrs, Betsey Smith and her husband
 of Erie, Kansas, are out, and she is go- ing to be still further out if the law will let her, and we guess it will after considering the divorce petition in
 which she sets forth the reasons why she doesn't want MT Smith around
 any more. In this petition she points out that the defendant became a ire quenter of saloons and spent his time in loafing, discussing politics, whiting dry goods boxes and saving the govern ment of the United States from ruin; that the only necessaries of life he was willing to provide for plaintiff was "wa- ter" and this marital duty he perform ed grudgingly, his whole time being oc- cupied in preparing for a conflict with the red dragon, the octopus and other monsters that were breathing destruc- ton and devastating the helpless mill lions of American serfs, and so engross- ed was the defendant in saving the run ming gear of this government and ad- vocating a dollar that would be good in Europe that he took no time to indulge in the vulgar pursuit of rustling pro- vender for the family larder That this work was left solely to plaintiff, and that she kept the gaunt and hungry wolf from the door by running her sew ing machine from dawn's early light till the king of day had retired to his nights repose in the western horizon; that plaintiff has nothing for all these thirty years work to keep her from want; even her sewing machine is in the possession of this great financial general, who is so apt in his disserta :. tions on finance, per "capiter,' and the maintenance of the flag in the Philip pines; that this plaintiff is no richer than she was thirty years ago, when she was led to the altar by the defendant except in experience-and though she is broken in health, plaintiff is willing to take the akove asset for her sole ali- mony. feeling that it will be easier to support herself than to provide longer for the defendant. That plaintiff feels that she ought to have her sewing ma chine as a reminder of the work that it has performed in the past and as nnemento that she was once united in marriage to the defendant.
 So she had, and it is a pity that there isn't more for her to have. MT. Smith ought long ago to have been devoured by the octopus. He is not useful.

WAR NEws.

If anybody knows anything about the queer war that is said to be going on
 between the Russians and the Japanese he isn't telling it, unless he is telling it in the Echo de Paris. which prints Q letter from a St. Petersburg correspon- dent. who. according to his own ac- count of the matter. hears things from a friend of his on the Russian general staff. The military man is quoted as saying that there are now four army corps in Manchuria, 8 fifth well on it's way from western Siberia, and two more just starting from Moscow and Kursk; that by the end of next month Kuropatkin will have 46O.0O0 men in Manchuria; that, however. he has de- termined (the Czar approving) to act on the defensive until the arrival of September and the Baltic fleet, but will probably before then employ the Cau- casian mounted brigade in chasing the Japanese from wiju, Seoul, etc. When September comes along the St. Peters burg friend of the correspondent bids us all look cut for great battles and knock-down blows by land and sea-"

.PHfLIPPiNn RAILROADS.

The bill concerning railroads in the Philippine Islands which has just been passed by the senate and is awaiting action by the house is attracting some os the attention due it. The bill per- mits the government to guarantee five per cent. interest upon capital invested in railroads, and with such a guarantee there can be little hesitation in em- barking capital in such enterprises. What safeguards will protect the gov ernment srom paying dividends on Wa tered stock has not been fully explain ed. MT. Williams. member of the house of representatives from Illinois, lin protesting against the passage of the bill said:, "Who knows but that some Machen, some Beavers or a Perry Heath will not turn up as superinten- dent Of railroad construction in the Philippine Islands?" He then went on to predict some of the greatest sean dais that ever have occurred in a civ ilized government in conseouenee of the enactment of this bill.
 As there have been some pretty good-sized scandals in our own civiliz- ed government the scandals which will come from this measure if it becomes a law may not be the biggest, but it is pretty certain that they will be big enough. Still, it will be beneficent thing for us to do to give the Filipinos the railroads they need to help civilize and Christianize them.
