Is It not depriving a man of his right to vote on account of previous condition when the law says you can't vote unless your father, grandfather or great grandfather voted. The vote hinges upon the previous condition of the parents. The best news of the week was the announcement that W. J. Bryan is pre paring to start a weekly paper In which to defend Bryan democracy. Hundreds will be able to read his writ ing where one may be able to hear blm talk. No man ever had half the Influence for good in this country that Horace Greeley had through the col umns of the New York Tribune. The J Held Is as wide for the harvest of truth and justice now as It was then and harvesters are In the minority. The "Commoner" ic an expressive name. One of the best proofs of McKinley prosperity can be found in the annual report of R. G. Dun & Co. The total number of failures in this country dur ing the year ending the 30th of last November was 10.520, sixty of thesa being bank failures. The total num ber in was 9,752. fifty-two of these being bank failures. The increase was 76S The liabilities this year were $W4,06G.139; last year the iiab!litie3 were $101,018,466. Another evidence of prosperity is the number of factories of all kinds now closed. Nearly one half are standing idle from various cause. We believe it would be a good plan for the state to start a beet sugar fac tory on tbe state farm and also a starch factory. They would go well with the butter and cheese factories already there. They need not be very large. Let farmers raise beets, bring them and draw sugar at actual cost or cash as they choose. The government has got to do these things or ths trusts are going to govern, more than tbey do now. Crime and whisky are partners. They travel together and sleep in the same bed. Take the crime of murder and where the most whisky is drank there murders multiply. California bad one murder the last year to ev ery 3.000 of her population. Maine had a murder to every 38.000. New York had a murder to every 14,000. Vermont had one to every 40.000. Ne braska had one to every 6.000. Iowa h?d one to every 11.000. ' Yet they say prohibition does not prohibit. We have not seen a single good rea son given for taxing the people nice millions a year and giving it-to ship owners. The only reason given, so far, is that a lot of merchant vessels of our own would come handy In case of another war. No one denies but that ships can be built for less money in this courtry than anywhere else in the world.

It ought not to be counted any more of a crime for the Chinese to violate a treaty than for the Americans to do the same thing. Previous to the Bur llngame treaty which, was made in the early sixties, no Chinaman was allowed to leave . China nor was any foreigner allowed to settle in. China. That ' treaty - stipulated Americans could settle in China and that China men could settle in America. No limit was .placed upon . emigration . either way. Yankees were the first to go back on the treaty Nations as well as individuals should respect '" poor bargains as well as-good ones. - "A national marriage and divorce law is now before congress and we hope' It "will -pass.5 Marriage is an In stitution that jponcerns every part of the country alike and a legal marriage and , a.', legal divorce should be the same in ' every part' of the country.8 Then If they would make a companion in marriage the first heir it would be carrying justice still further. It is a fact that marriage is the nearest earthly relation and the law should so treat it. Young people leave their relatives and cleave to each other and it is a great injustice for a relative, of the dead husband to come in and rob the widow. It is also unjust that the child should be permitted to crowtf the mother out. Children are as safe in the care of the mother as in care of the father. Then polygamy should be prohibited and a severe penalty at tached. If our Creator had intended that men should have scores of wives there would have been born a score of girl babies for every boy baby. The sexes, in number, are just about even, and the ratio holds good all through the animal kingdom. In a natural state animals pair off, one of each sex. Many of the fowls are very strict in their pairing relations, more so than humans. Equality before the law should prevail everywhere, at every time and with everybody whether wife or husband. News of the Week Two things have compelled the at tention of the world during the week. The Boer war for independence has, however, been the one thing above all others upon which men have fixed their eyes. England is in a most de plorable condition of mind. All their great generals have declared time and again that the Boers were whipped and there was nothing left of them but a few snipping bandits. Now these bandits have fought a great bat tle and thoroughly whipped the well organized English armies sent against them commanded by some, of their most distinguished "generals. In ten days the Boers have killed, wounded and taken prisoners more than a thou sand of the flower of the English army, and Dewet has not only out fought, but outmaneuvered the reg ular army of Brittain and has again got away with but little loss. - England Is humiliated. The conti nental press calls attention to the evi dence of the most distinguished sol diers of all England that there is noth ing in South Africa but a few bandits and they point to the fact that those few bandits whipped the flower of the British army. After that they talk just as irritatingly as a contCuental savaga knows how. All that makes the English editors and English states men feel very bad indeed. The fighting has been spread over a large .extent of country, the chief bat tle being fought about twenty miles from Pretoria. Of this battle Lord Kitchener reports: "The casualties were, I regret to say, heavy killed, five officers and nine of other ranks: missing, eighteen officers and 555 of other ranks These latter were four companies of the Northumberland fu siliers, who were stationed on the hill, and some yeomanry and other details sent up to support them. Names and nature of wounds are being tele graphed from- Cape Town." We are in no position to take the part in these continental quips against the English statesmen, for we find our selves in practically the same plight in the Philippines. Not .only our gen erals, but the president himself has frequently asserted that the Philip pines have been conquered, and that there were nothing left bu a few ban dits, the only difference being that the deceivers have called them "ladrones." General Otis in making his report months ago said: "The war in the Philippines is already over. The in surrection ended some months " ago. There will be no more real fighting in the Philippines. There is no rebel army, nothing but guerilla bands who are ladrones, armed robbers who prey upon their countrymen. Peace is practically restored all through the islands Luzon is pacified." And in his closing sentence he repeats, "The country has been thoroughly paci fied." A writer whom the New York Out look, the great ecclesiastical Imperial ist paper of the country, calls its "Special commissioner to the Philip pines," and who says: "I believe In the United States retaining the Phil ippines . " . it is our plain duty .': ... . that the Filipinos are wholly incapable of self government, etc.," ber ing upon the ground feels called upon to deny these statements of General Otlsl He denies that the Filipinos now In the field are "ladrones." : He says: "It is usual for ladrones to move In bodies of three, jour or five, hundred meh? to dress, when they can, in sim ilar uniform? to observe In any meas ure the rules of war? to besiege towns with none but American soldiers in them and no loot? Does It seem prov able that sixty thousand troops and more are needed to keep down bands of 'armed robbers?' In another place he remarks: "It Is a fact well known that robbers and ladrones respect no rules or customs of recognized warfare. They neither give nor expect quarter. They have no self-respect and. extend .none to others. -Near San Miguel, Nueva Eci Ja, the other day, a ban of guerillas captured an American officers and ten DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED v by. local . applications, as . they, cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the .Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deaf ness is the result, and . unless the in flammation can be .taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of -ten1 are caused, by catarrh, which is "nothing but an in flamed condition of the - mucous .sur faces. . ....

In surgents escorted two of our men, who were wounded, to the 'nearest Ameri can gamson In order that they might receive, proper medical attention. Of late an insurgent . officer known as General Tevson has released several American prisoners, among whom' is Captain Roberts, on parole. The Ma nila papers of August 30 report that near Pasanjah the , insurgent General Cailes has just captured seven ladrones whom our troops . have been, chasing for some time, and turned them over to the American commander for pun ishment. We have a good deal of evi dence that American prisoners have been and are . being treated well, and no evidence to the contrary. Do these things look like-the work of la drones, which means thieves or ban dits?" The truth about the matter is that the Filipinos have Adopted guerilla warfare. That is a recognized mode of warfare among all nations. If tbe Filipinos had had good tacticians in command they would have adopted that style of warfare from the first, In stead of lining up their men unsup ported by artillery to be shot down by the hundred, as they did in the be ginning. It was the style of warfare adopted by Sumpter and other gen erals during our war for independence and is in fact what gave us our victory over England. This writer in the Outlook, whose name is Phelps Whitmarsh, further declares that General Lawton was right when he said that it. would take 100,000 men to "pacify" the Philip pines. He says that is the opinion of every military officer in the island3. "Sixty thousand men," he says" when they were concentrated in Luzon, were sufficient, but when that number is spread out over such a wide, discon nected territory as the Philippine, archipelago, Its force at any given point is lost." He does not say anything about an enormous navy which is just as neces sary as an army. That fact is too of ten forgotten by the .taxpayers as well as Mr. Whitmarsh. According to the official naval reports";there " are con stantly in service in he -Philippines something over fifty war vessels of all kinds. They must alj be kept in re pair, they, all burn immense amounts of coal and all have a lull complement of officers and men who must be paid. After the islands are . "pacified." the coasts must be forever patrolled there are six thousand miles of them for no one can tell when a conquered people will become "unpacifled" and go to importing arms, and preparing for another attempt at liberty and in dependence. Let the toast be: "The army and navy forever in the Phil ippines." ;o r The Hay-Pauncefote treaty has been up for discussion in the senate in se cret session for nearly two weeks. It appears that the republican senators are turning populist on that question as well as on the coinage of silver, for it is said that there are sixty-seven of them who are determined to amend it so it will accord with the populist idea on that subject. One or two amendments have already been adopt ed which completely change the char acter of the treaty, giving to the United States absolute control of the Nicaragua canal and the right to forti fy and defend it. It is said that the senate is now trying to find words which will abrogate the Clayton-Bul-wer treaty without giving offense to Great Britain. Seme of the senators are demanding that a new statement of the Monroe doctrine shall be made that shall say to the governments of Europe that if the United States wants to build a canal or do any other thing, either in the United States or on this hemisphere, it is none of the business of any European power and they can all just keep their hands off. That is gocd populism. Since the election .tho senate has made mighty strides in that direction. Hanna; Is finding hard sledding for his ship subsidy bill. The populist senators are said to be holding cau cuses ancC planning to put all sorts of bbstructions in his way.. There seems to be a good ' many - "republicans - who will, do all that they can to defeat it and will go as far. in that direction aa they dare, so as not to get entirely out with the administration.

Four years on the outside with all the com missions to be appointed and at least three thousand commissions to be be stowed on the officers for our new army, including forty brigadier gen erals and about twelve major gen erals, would be a situation that no senator would like to place nlmself in. It is the opinion of The Independent that while Hanna may have some trouble he will get his' steal through,. He can command McKinley and Mc Kinley's frown at a time when more life appointments am to be bestowed than in all the history of the govern ment .before makes the stoutest hearted senator tremble in his boots when he thinks of it. Hanna's . bill is the unfinished busi ness in the senate and must come up every day until disposed of unless there is an appropriation bill before the house. Appropriation bills always have the right of way oyer everything else. That being the case, he may not be able to get a vote on it at this .ses sion, but "McKinley has' already an nounced that he is going to call an extra session, and then there will be no appropriation bills, unless one or two happen to fall of passage. Then will be Hanna's time. Then will be the days of appointments The pat ronage will be put on one platter and the subsidy bill on th pt net and the senators will be told that they must take both or none at all. Mac arid Mark are mighty men made so 'by: the votes of the people and when they both give a pull together something has got to come or break. No one in the best informed cir cles in Washington believes that a Nicaragua canal-bill will be passed by this congress or the next. Wars, na vies, armies, subsidy bills and other "necessary" things will foot up a sum in the appropriation bids that will en danger the supremacy of the party it anything more is added to them. The republiccns have the destiny and world power business to enrry on an- that costs money. Then there is an other reason why such, a bill cannot be passed. All the through-line rail road corporations -are opposed to Iti No bill has ever yet passed congress which they really desirtd to defeat. Grover Cleveland has been giving out interviews He thinks that dem ocracy needs reorganizing. "With a sincere return to old .times doctrines." he says, "the old time victories of the democratic party will certainly be won." No doubt about it. Just such victories as democracy Won in the six ties and for some twetity years after wards. Having covered the democratic party with an odium that years will never obliterate, he now wants to give advice as to its future. The republi cans who aided him made their; big gest gains by referring to. his , resign .of soup houses. He stopped the coinage of silver ard produced ruin. The re publicans began coining it again and brought prosperity thereby. Now this old tub of mtestir.es wculd have us. go back to when no silver was coined and ruin stalked through the land. . There are some democrats who are fools enough to believe in that, but-they-are very few, . indeed. . The Filipinos, according to the lat est dispatches, keep things from grow ing stale as far as they are concerned. They burned a town occupied by our troops in the island of Panay and a body of them got within four miles of Manila when they were' surrounded and surrendered. So it seems that the "pacification" does not extend very far from the army headquarters and the rooms of the commission who pass laws which are entitled "be it enacted by the authority of the president of the United States." - Negotiations in China seem to be in the same fix that they have been for a long time. The ministers agreed on a joint note, the United States objected. Then they fixed up another and Ger many kicked. Then they tried it again and England would have none of it Meartime the gererals have their lit tle bouts. The biggest of themseem to be in about the same fix that Grant was .ifter HaUeck went to Pittsburg Landing only their Halleck is 10,000 miles away. Meantime old Li Hurg Chang keeps on manuracturing arms and acting in ways to convince all on lookers that the heathen Chinee, is peculiar. An the governments are ex pedirg large eums of money for rice to keep the people from starving. Hav ing destroyed the railroads, burned the cities and desolated the farms, we are now called upon to furnish our share of money to feed the people. Tha "powers" move in a mysterious way their wonders to perform. A lot of the loot secured by the French troops in China arrived ; at Marseilles the other day and vtbet French government by the order to" President Loubet, refused to receive it. The president says the articles cannot be considered as prizes of war and do not belong to the government or tha soldiers who seized them. ,The papers say that this Is the result "of Chaffee's vigorous protest. While the Associated press sends but scraps of the arguments presented by those who believe that the consti tution covers every portion of the ter ritory of the United States, It gives columns of the argument ; presented by Attorney General Griggs, who takes the ground that the constitution does not follow the flag, " which ; can be summed up in two of his own sen tences, to-wlt: "The constitution does not extend of Its own force over ac quired territory" "International, law declares that the new sovereign may deal with the Inhabitants of conquered or ceded territory and give them such laws as it sees fit." V Soon" after Attorney General Griggs Degan ms argument, jusuce .Brewer asked him if he did not think that the constitution was In force in Arizona and New Mexico. Mark Hanna's law yer replied that he would argue that question after a while. (Continued on Page Eight.)
