Official Paper Sherman (ounty Jeffeigon was a statesman and a diplamot, Jabksou a warior and a patriot But the leading democrats never hud much use for a patriot. While the democrats anti free ail ver hoo hoos are whistling to keep up their courage and celebra'ed the b'rth of Jefferson. Why don't they say something about Jockson. The Missouri legislature has pass ed anti trust and anti-combination bills galore and sandwiched in a bill taxing department stores. If the other states will just copy these laws from the Missouri statutes after, they are complete and compiled, they will be doing something that will cause future generations to rise up and call them blessed. In his speech at Syracuse, C< I , Bryan said: “The people of the lb 8, can depend upon their volunteers.' This is true, but suppose all the vol unteers had been like Bryan, who resigned and came home at the fust prospect of getting near an enemy? Such volunteers as Bryan are little good to any country.—Valley Coun tv Times. We advised last week that every body turn out Wednesday night to the public meeting to decide on a plan for the new school house as the board wanted the advise of the people. Well, we want to revise the matter this week, they don't want any suggestions or advice, that is three of them do not and they seem to be the board Governor Pointer more nearly re presents the sentiment of the people of the state in his d eclaration that ‘ Nebraska is always ready to do her full duty” than he did iu his veto message on the resolution of thanks to the First regiment. There are some ^guinaldos here, as there are in the eastern states, but the great majority of the people are heart and soul in favor of upholding national honor and maintaining the prestige of the Hag.—State Journal. Colonel Funston, of the Twentieth Kansas regiment has been made a Brigadere General for bravery before the enemy, and all Kansas are shout ing the praises of their gallant vol unteers. Poor old decrepid Nebras ka, with a mongrel governor could not even pass a resolution of thanks foras brave boys as ever fired a gun without it being vetoed. The party that was responsible for this dis grace to our state will reap the whirl wind that they have sown when the next election comes around. In all the republican papers who have roasted (lovernor Poynter for vetoing the Philippine resolution, not one of them so far as we have observed, have printed his veto mes sage. Fair people they are.—Ord Journal. It is nt necessary to print the Dor ernors veto message.

I mu wed as I ever was ami hate been in i since I left the Stales I have not been sick a min ute yet tuul do not expect to be if inking cure of mi »e!f will keep me from it. I uni hi bed every night by 8 o'clock unless 1 am ou guard, don’t chew any tobacco or smoke ciguretts, but do smoke a few cigars. Our regiment is doing police duty in Manila, and have been since March 20. It is quite hard on us as we are doing the work o.f two regi ments and will until every thing is settled. We cau l tell how long that will be, it may be weeks an it may be mouths. [ catch guard about every other day, sometimes I am in two uiglils but not often. Our rest is broken so much, 2 hours on post aud 4 off, we gd abont 3 hours sleep and then get up again and it is so hot we can’t sleep in day time but it Is uice aud cool ut night. We got here on Keb., 23, and went right on out-post duty and staid there till March 10, and then came back to Manila, and ou die I2tli went out to the extreme right of the firing line. Tim 13ill we had a tight and captur ed 2 or small towns aud a big church The 1st batallion of the 20th were in the reserve, and we were m more danger than if we had been up ou the line where they were shooting. We hud one man slightly wounded hut he is back with the company now and is all right. The 1 4tu we got up on the hrmg line but didn't get to shoot any. The 15tb the First got orders to cross Pasig river and take Pasig City. We were taken across in a boat, one company at a time, und we formed in skir mish imo on the river bank. G com pany was the last to cross, there was only tixteen men in it that got to shoot any. Companies F C and L, and lti men from G with two pieces of Artillery took the city, the rest of G company was in such shape that they could not shoot without endangering our own meD. It took two hours to drive them out of the city hut we done it. We camped in the church that uight and next mor ning went about 3 miles and took Caintu, but did not hold it. That was the liitb. We had to go two miles through an open field and it was very hot, there was no breeze at ail. We formed a skirmish line and got within 1,500 yards of them when they opened fire on us. We return ed it and advanced through a creek that was waist deep. All the cover we had was rice dikes, they are from 8 to 14 inches high and not much protection. When we were within 800 yards ot them we had to cross another creek that was worse than the first for the mud was knee deep and we were all tired out and had no water. Some of us had lost our canteens and the others divided until they had none left. After we got across we rested about _'0 min utes and then went on. We advanc ed about tOO or '>00 yards by rushes and theu all lined up and started toward them tiring us we went and that fixed them, they retreated and we got into the town. After 4 hours of Hard fighting we took a rest and got some water and then went buck to 1‘asig City, and it was a good thing we did for there was reinforce ments caiue to help the niggers out and they would have cut us all to pieces for we only had 15 or lio rounds of ammunition lett.
