A LITTLE TOO FINE.
Socialists demand public or common
ownership of all the homes, means of
production and means of transportation.
Populists demand public ownership of
euch lands, means of production and
transportation as may become subjects
of oppressive monopoly.
The little village home, worth ?2,000
or $2,500; the little garden and the lit
tle farm that the farmer occupies - and
till, populists would protect and con
serve for private ownership as an inspi
ration, a goal, a hope, a promised re
ward for the exercise of what we believe
to be human virtues. The socialist
would make of these little individual
Eroperties, tenements, hotels, boarding
ouses, public commons.
The wheelbarow,' the bicycle, the
handsled, the road cart or carriage are
all means of transportation, and we do
not believe the fertile brain of a Rocke
feller would ever devise a scheme for
their monopoly.
, For this reason populists would say
let these things be subject to private
ownership. Socialists demand that they
be nationalized. We confess this is get
ting down a little too fine for us when
public danger is scented in the private
ownership, of a wheelbarrow. E. A.
Twitchell. -
THEY ADMIT IT NOW.
It is a suggestive fact that- the large
Increase in the volume of money in cir
culation in this country, owing to the
increase in the world's stock of coin, is
being nailed by me republican press
with no little glee. Of course this in
crease is a good thing. But so far from
being an argument against the con ten
Hons ol tne democrats it goes to prove
the truth of the arguments made in 1896
as to the insufficiency of the volume of
money. The very ones who ridiculed
such arguments then are admitting
their truth unconsciously now. Buffalo

TOEY ARE ALL DUMB.
In every national republican platform
since the organization of the party, where
the subject has been touched on at all,
there is emphatic endorsement of bi
metallism, that is of silver and gold as
equal money. In defiance of this', the
republican house the other day under
the lash of a republican ' pie .ident, re
pudiated the historic position of the
party and declared that gold alone is
legal tender, and yet the rank and hie of
the party are as dumb as basswoodmen.

A LINCOLN MULLET HEAD.
I am the greatest man on earth.
My greatness is in three parts,
Gall, gall and gall.
I never read, "
I never think.
I nevef" listen to advice.
I just say a thing is so,
And then it is.
My greatness is mysterious.
It seeni3 to be a supernatural gift.
You cannot analyze it.
It's like the wind of which it is creat
ed. It comes when it darn pleases,
You hear the sound of it,
But you cannot tell
Where it comes from,
Nor where it goes to,
Nor where it's at.
Washington?
He was all right
For those early times,
But he couldn t make a speech.
Grant?
Grant made some good moves in war,
But Grant was a silent man.
And what's a silent man?
Webs tor? .
. Yes, Webster was an orator.
But he made only five or six great
speeches in his whole lifetime.
I've made four thousand in five years.
What do you think of that?
Lincoln? -
Yes, Lincoln did very well as a starter.
He was a sort of John the Baptist
Of me. .
He, made one little talk at Gettysburg
that was very good. -
Lincoln was like me in one respect, .
The common people loved him.

BROTHER ABNER.
A republican mornisg paper yesterday
had this pleasant "vs item: "Mr. Ab-
ner Mclvinley, br her of the president,
sailed for Cuba iii Saturday to look
after some valuable franchise on the
is!and." Is i here anybody in congress
or out of it who supposes that if Mr.
McKmley shall be permitted to retain
his "free hand'' military goverment in
Cuba as long as he deems it necessary,
the Cubans will get the self-government
promised to them until after all the 'val
uable franchises' there have been gob
bled up by the membors of the Second-
Term Syndicate. N. Y. World. .

Auditor Cornell last week allowed the
claims of Wilbur P. Bryant, J. G. P.
Hildebrand, and Leon Crandall, for
serviced rendered the state under the
Weaver insurance law. This action will
meet with the approval of all fairmind
ed persons Notwithstanding - the su
preme court held the Weaver law to be
unconstitutional, the gentlemen named
performed their duties in good faith and
are entitled to their pay. It is probable
that some hair-splitting objections might
be interposed to the auditor's course,
for instance that, acting under a law
void from the beginning, Messrs Bryant,
Hildebrand and Crandall legally per
formed no service for the state. But the
tact remains that the gentlemen put in
six' months of earnest, conscientious
labor, and in all fairness are entitled to
payment for the same.
December was the banner month of
1899 for investment of the permanent
school fund in general fund warrants
over $90,000 being purchased during the
month.
State Treasurer Meserve last week
took up and cancelled $20,000 of state
bonds held by the permanent school
fund as an investment. This amount,
together with $400 accrued interest on
the bonds cancelled, was paid out of the
sinking fund balance. The $400 is
placed in the temporary school fund,
and will be available for the coming
May apportionment; and tie $20,000 is
placed in the permanent school fund to
be re-invested as soon a3 possible.

THE REGIMENT.
Did you see the regiment march away?
Oh, but the day was fair and fine! .
The Rags were many, the mu3ic gay, :
And the companies measured a goodly
line, .
And their pulses bounded with life's red
wine.
There were many to cheer, and some to
. pray
That day the regiment marched away.
Did you see the regiment march away?
Oh, but the sight was grand and fine!
As the muskets gleamed, in the clear sun
shine. Scarce a man in the ranks whose head was
gray, -But
the knights of youth in trim array
Stepped side by Bide down the city street.
To the bugles' call, and the drums' glad
beat,
And so the regiment marched away.
Did 3ou see that regiment marching back?
Oh, but the sight was glad. to seel
Oh, but the sight was sad to see!
Each man looked fit to drop in his track.
Haggard and weary with misery;
For toil and hunger and fever aln
Had troubled them sre, and travel stain
Had darkened the faces and dulled the
shine
Of the trappings; and, oh, 'twas a shrunk
en line,
For many were missing aye, some were
slain
Who had, meant to march In that, street
aain, .
"When the gallant regiment came back.
Did you see the boys come marching back?
Scarce could they travel a mile or two
Weakened and wearied through and
through;
But thousands crowded along their track,
For the city was prcud to welcome them
back, ,
And eager to honor the heroes true,
Wholiad never wavered; and many a name
Was written high on the scroll of fame,
For the eyes of the whole round world to
eee! ;
So, freed from war and Its misery,
The gallant regiment came back!

NOT RISKING FIGHT
Number of Reconnoissances, But Only
One Real Engagement.
Reports from the movements of the
American commanders south of Manila
show that Generals Bates and Whea
ton are at Perez das Marinas and Gen
Schwan at Silang, all awaiting the ar
rival of provision wagons, says a Ma
nila dispatch of January 10. Iteeon
roisances have shown that 2,000 armed
insurgents have retired to the moun
tains from the district between In
dang and Maig, and that others have
retreated along the coast from Novel
eta toward Batangas. "
Nolan's squadron of the - Eleventh
cavalry drove a body of insurgents
from Maig. One American was kill; d
and two were wounded. Thirteen dead
Filipinos w ere found. The movement
largely resembles General Schwau's
experience in the same country, except
that the towns are now being garri
soned and that the insurgents refuse
to fight, retreating southward and
dividing intp small bands, with the
apparent intention of reassembling
later.
' The plan of catching a large number
between two brigades has failed.
About a hundred insurgents have been
killed, but comparatively few arms
have been taken.
The region is full of amigos, who
doubtless have been bearing arms
which they nave hidden. The women
and children remain in their homes,
and the insurgents, as they fall back,
release all prisoners they have cap
tured "
