that the green Yankee soldiers could
stand before the trained hosts of

The Kansas papers say that the
pops have levied a ten per cent as
sessment on all commissioned officers
in the volunteer service of the Unit
ed States, that were appointed as
such by governor Leedy, ibat means
ten per cent of their sailary while in
the war. It may be so but we kuow
one commissioned officer among the
Kansas troops at Manila, that they
can't levy tiibuteon and collect it.
Two presidents asking the United
States to annex their countries and
thereby throwing them out of a job
is rather a peculiar phenomina.
President Dole, of the Sandwich
Islands has labored for some years to
that end, and for the past four years
he has keen the chief executive of
those islands, yet he never ceased
his aggitation until he accom
plished it. Now the president of
the Porto Itican Junta, although
never aide to assume the reigns of
government of his country, when
he secs Spanish rule tliltering, made
the request that lie he allowed to
go with Miles to Porto llico, to
talk to his people and tell them to
affiliate with our Uoo|m. Me says

on one tenth of the per capita that
it takes for a man in the United

try at the Tran* MiMlssIpl
Exposition.
The exhibition of live stock ut the
Trans- Mississippi Exposition will be
held from Septemper III to October
20, nnd everything points to a large
display. J. B. Dinsmore, commis
sioner or live siock, staves uiav vuu
correspondence received from intend
ing exhibitors is fur larger in advance
of the date for the closing of entries
than it was ut the Columbian Exposi
tion at Chicago. If Mr. Dinsmore's
Expectation are fulfilled the exhibi
tion of live stock at Omaha will be
one of the finest ever given in the
country.
A sum of #35,000 was set aside by
the directors of the Exposition to be
awarded as cash prizes to live-stock
exhibitors. The Union Stock Yards
Company of South Omaha and a
number of the breeders associations
and other live stock organizations
offered as premiums to live stock ex
hibitors being not far short of #50,
000.
The live stock exhibit is divided
into six classes. Of these the poultry
exhibits will be given first from
September 10 to September 30. On
Monday, October 3, the exhibits of
cattle, horses (in which class are in
eluded jack, jennets and mules),
sheep aud swine will open to continue
until October 20; and the fat stock
will be shown from October 13 to 20
inclusive. Entries close for fat stock
on August 15, and in all other clusses
on August 10.
Probably all of the northern states
will be represented in the poultry ex
hibit. Correspondence has been re
ceived from prominent fanciers all
over the country and the indications
are that there will be a fine collection
of birds.
Commissioner Dinsmore, is espe
cially pleased with the prospects for
exhibits in cattle, sbeep anu hogs,
lie says there will undoubtedly be
not less than 1,0U0 cattle the same
number of sheep and twice as many
hogs. The inquiries come from all
sections of the country north of the

Tlie pop papers of this county are
showing their colors. They cannot con
coal their dissatisfation at the success
of the war under a republican admin
istrution. Many of them are so rabid
that a defeat of American soldiers
would be hailed with delight merely
because they would see in it a defeat
for the republican party. Neverthe
less President McKinley is still mak
ing an enviable record for himself
ami his administration and will con
tinue to do so under all c.wu instance.
