There are two official documents
coming from -the Philippines that
would not look well . if : the "deadly

times use were applied to them. One
is .'the ; official report, of General Fun

and falsehood employed by him in tne
capture -'of Aguinaldo.; The other is
an official ; report of General Chaffee
in which he brought '. an indictment
against the Filipino, people accusing
them of; the same - crimes ' to which
General Funston confessed.

; STAND BY POPULISM
There Is neither common sense nor
patriotism in the effort made to de
stroy the populist party and the demo
crats who are engaged in that sort cf
work are riding to their own downfall.
Should they succeed in getting a reg
ular state convention of tne populist
party-to agee to such a thing, before
the delegates to that convention got
out of town, another party would be
Organized to take , its place. To cap
ture a state convention and get it to re
solve that it will not put up a ticket,
will not prevent a ticket being put
in the field and while some populists
o Into the democratic party there
are thousands who will not. These
schemers get no encouragement from

about how the populist party in Kan
sas is going to disorganize and join
the democratic party en masse. They
say that Senator Harris, Anna Diggs
and Jerry Simpson are all in favor of
It. There is also a great opposition
to it. The convention to decide the
matter will meet at Topeka on Feb

News of the Week
Hay has gone a step further in
carrying out "the distinct understand
ing," as Senator Depew calls it, be
tween the British government and this
country. He has allowed the English
military authorities - to establish a
military camp at Chalmette, just be
low New Orleans, which is manned
by British soldiers and is as much a
supply camp as any station of the kind
in the United Kingdom or South Afri
ca. General Pierson of the Boer army
has written a letter to the president
calling attention to this British camp
in the United States and intimating
that if the authorities do not suppress
it that he will lead a force to wipe ifc
out. There is no doubt that there are
a few hundred thousand men in the
United States who would like nothing
better than to help clean out a British
military post located on the soil from
which the English were driven a cen
tury and a quarter, ago. Chalmette is
not very- far from the place where
General Jackson ,made the British wish
that they had stayed at home.
A private letter from Washington
says that nothing practical will come
from the Marconi system of wireless
telegraphy. . The millionaires wco
own ocean cables will buy up the pat
ents and never let it be used in any
way to r compete with the cables or
land lines as now established. It is a
well known fact that the Western
Union, has bought up many patents
for improvements and suppressed them
and that : this monopoly has been a
curse to civilization In preventing the
world from having the benefit of all
the recent improvements in telegraphy.
That practice will go on as long as the
telegraph remains in private hands.

Rev. Geo. Gay, Greenwich, Kas "
: past 83 years of age, yet he says: "I
am enjoying excellent health for a man
of my aee, due entirely to the rejuven
ating influences of Dr. Miles' Nervine.
It brings sleep and rest when nothing
else will, and gives strength and vital-'ity-even
to ona ofmy old age."
"I am an old soldier," writes Mr. Geo.
Watson, of Newton, la., and I have
been a great sufferer from nervousness,
vertigo and spinal trouble. Have spent
considerable . money for medicine and
doctors but with little benefit. I was

Fires have been very numerous and
destructive during the last week. Great
conflagrations have raged in Water
bury, Conn., Patterson, N. J., Chicago
and St.-Louis. The loss runs far up
into the " millions. These disasters
have been great, but they have been
compensated by the action of one mau
whose deed will be worth more to the
country than the rebuilding of all the
desolated districts. Mr. Brice, a Chi
cago landlord who owned a large
block of ; flats inhabited by working
men and their families, burned to the
ground, .. These poor : people were
thrown upon the streets half naked
when the. thermometer was below zero,
utterly destitute and helpless. As soon
as Mr. ; Brice heard of the fire he tele
phoned ;o the police department to
send -iilDtbe waarons at hand to plsr1
and tak the people to comfortable
hotels for the night aud charge the
bill Hohm" The next day he sent a
notice to. the sufferers to come to a cer
tain place and he would give each
family fiOOwith which to begin life
ahew, v ,A, the appointed, time Mr.
Brice appeared at the designated store
with an envelope for .each family in
which were one hundred dollars la
new, crisp bills, and the people, weep
ing with gratitude, received the mon
ey. When the recording angel took
up his pen the next morning he put a
bigger credit opposite the name of Mr.
Brice than he ever did for a $10,000,
000 donation, to a university or a series
of public libraries.
A" report oh the prisons of Russia
shows that the czar has over 1,000,000
of his subjects confined in prisons,
not counting the exiles in Siberia. It
the czar can make Russia prosperous
by that kind of policies, he will have
to work a new sort of miracle. But
imperialism and prisons have always
been found: together. In the Philip
pines, we perhaps have a greater pro
portion t of the; inhabitants under ar
rest or in prison than there is in
Russia.
A fool "doctor down east who de
clared that smallpox was not contag

to demonstrate his theories went over
to the pest, house and thoroughly ex
posed himself-: -At the last report he
was lying at the point of death from an
attack of -virulent smallpox. There
are just as many natural born fools
among doctors as among any other
class of people. There was another
one in New .York who, to do a little
advertising for himself, wrote a let
ter for publication in which he offered
himself for experimentation in vivi
section. He said that he was willing
to be cut up alive for the benefit cf
science, when he knew that a guinea
pig would i answer all scientific pur
poses just as well. This doctor's crav

of the war, to the burghers then hold

termine whether a declaration of war
should be made against England. He
told them that they must not be mis
taken about the idea of whipping Eng
land. He said that they must calcul
ate on the war lasting ten years for
England could overwhelm them with
numbers and the only way that a vic
tory cpuld;be won was to wear Eng
land out by keeping up the war for
years. He , pointed out that the war
could be carried on for that length of
time, but at great suffering and dls

of the war continuing for ten years
at all. -
A surprising statement was made
in the German parliament this week.
It was to the effect that McKinley had
perfected all plans for making inter
national bimetallism a fact when Eng
land stepped in and beat the whole
thing. It is said the commission sent
to England to make the arrangements
had the complete acquiescence of Ger
many and France and that England
had pretended to be friendly up to the
very last moment, , having agreed to
open the mints of India to the free
coinage of silver when McKinley w:Vs
privately informed that England In
tended to go back on the agreement,
and that upon receiving, tbis advice,
McKinley sent the message to con
gress which was said to nave killed
the project, before England had a
chance to show her hand. The state
ment was made most positively that it
was England alone that killed bimetallism.
Lodge's bill to issue $400,000,000 of
United States bonds to pay the friars
for land in the Philippines that thej'
do not and never did own, and to al
low the national banks to issue $400.
000,000 more bank promises to pay on
which they are to get interest as w?il
as upon the bonds, has not yet been
brought before the senate, but Lode
is only "lying low" like Brer Rabbit,
for a favorable chance to rush it
through when the people's attention is
attracted by something else. The sal
ary grab, credit mobilier and all the
other monumental crimes that the
thieves who run the republican party
have conceived, all put together do not
equal this scheme. The bankers are
behind it, and what the bankers want
.they always get from the republican
party.
The Washington lobbyists are said
to be more numerous and display more
money than it was ever known to have
before. One or two of the large hotels
are almost completely ocupied by lob
byists and many fine residences are
rented and occupied by them. Tbeir
extravagances in the way of elaborate
dinners, wines and cigars attract uni
versal remark. When patriotism nas
given away to greed and power, no
one could expect anything else.
; There is great excitement in England
over the discovery of immense frauds
discovered in army contracts. It ap
pears that the English government
has been paying $60 per head more
for horses than they could have been
purchased for. Another case' was
where Kitchener turned over to a com
pany, at the head of which was Cecil
Rhodes, all the cattle captured . from
the Boers at about 4 cents a pound am!
a few weeks afterward bought them
back at 14 cents a pound. Many other
things of the same kind have come
to light. It shows that this war upoo.
the Boers was a war of greed In every
department. The cause of its inaug
uration were diamond and gold mines.
After it started, every Englishman en
deavored to make a fortune out of It
if it were possible. Joe Chamberlain's
company furnishes an immense
amount of supplies.
The parliaments of Europe and the?
foreign offices are still discussing the
action of the different governments
at the breaking out of the Spanish
war. The evidence so far seems con
clusive that England made two at
tempts to get all Europe to unite on
the side of Spain.
It is announced that in a few days
a bill will be introduced into congress
to set up a mint In the Philippines for
the free coinage of silver. The Gug
genheimers are said to be now In the
east working up the project and that
the smelter trust is behind it. It
is thought that some of the western
senators can be won over to imperial
ism by the passage of such a bill.
The Independent opines that these
men are counting their chickens be
fore they are hatched. The free coin
age of silver in the Philippines would
not 'alter the monetary situation In
the least, not any more than the free
coinage has in Mexico and some of
tlje South American republics. West
ern senators who have opposed thy
policies of the republican party know
too much about the money question to
be fooled by any such a move as that.

An astonishing story came through
English channels from South Africa
and when we get the Boer side it is
likely to be still more astonishing.
It appears that Kitchener had formed
a great. plan to capture De Wet. On.
one( side there was a series of block
houses connected with barbed wire
fence and on the other side Kitchener
formed his army, .which, from the
number of divisions mentioned, must,
have consisted of some 150,000 troops.
These troops formed a line 40 miles
long and made a steady advance for
three days, intrenching at night and
posting pickets the- whole distance
fifty yards apart. When De Wet got.
ready to go, he stampeded a lot of
cattle in the night onto the British
lines and rode through with his whole
force along with the cattle, losing but
few men. Kitchener now says that
the block houses and trocha built at
great expense is a failure that it
won't hold Boers, with De Wet or
Botha at the head of them,any better
than a board fence would mice.,
From all reports It appears that
the elite of the cities of New York,
Chicago and Washington are spending
sleepless nights and days of anxietv
in inventing ways to make themselves
ridiculous when Prince Henry comes.
There is no doubt that they will suc
ceed. "

testimony.

many lines of wires have been put up
and temporary offices taken so that the
president can attend to the pressing
business of state as it arises.
Some more surprising news comes
from South Africa. De Wett captured
sixty ammuniti6n wagons. He blew
up all but twelve and took them, along
with him. In one of Kitchener's re
cent dispatches he said that he had
captured 700 horses very much worn
and tired out. It turns out that Kitch-r
ener forgot to mention in' connection
with this that De Wett had abandoned
those horses and taken some fresh
ones intended for the English cavalry
which he liked much better. De Wett
beats any general who ever rode ,a
horse. Some of his performances are
more original and effective than those
of. th&Dutehwhen Ihey fought Spain
although it,is recorded in all the his
tories 'thatka Dutch general made i
cavalry charge oh. fa Spanish fleet an
destroyed, every ihlp in the squad

thatothesatd Spanish .fleet had sail .!

the cordon of 1,150,000 men, linos of
block houses nd barbed wire fencv
