Political parties are not more infal lible than the men who compose them. The Boer representatives were in formally received by Secretary Hay at Washington Monday at 2:30. Look after our shipping interests now a little. There are millions of dollars only awaiting the enterprising Yankee capital. England under free trade imports eggs worth $25,000,000 a year. The American hen, protected, does business in the United States. Someone calls attention to the fact that with Towne as a running mate, Mr. Bryan will not be able to keep the silver question wholly out of sight. Chicago reports nine trunk lines of railroad as contracting to spend there more than 960,000,000 for extensions, terminal improvements and rolling stock. With protection has come expansion of trade, and thus it will always be with the wide-awake American artisans in doing the work of the world on a fair and square basis. Charles Nelson of Wilcox recently sold a crib of corn containing 18,000 bushels, receiving 30 cents a bushel. He has held the corn since 1896; most of it cost him 10 cents a bushel. One of the democratic panic years was 1895, and the agricultural products ex ported were worth $553,210,026. In 1899, under a republican administration, farm products were worth $781,989,087. Bert Hobton and wife, former resi dents of Dodge county, were killed by Indians, not far from Skagway, Alaska, last October. Their bodies were not re covered until March 15, but were easily recognized. There is no use talking against the policy of protection. In 1899, 562,651, 480 pounds of bacon were exported, as against 435,352,187 pounds in 1896 an increase of over 137,000,000 pounds un der the republican policy of protection. Of course it remains to be seen what the democracy will do for a vice-presidential candidate, but it is generally conceded that Mr. Towne is not likely to be the man. Senator Allen and Tom Patterson were for leaving the nomina tion open, or else to recommend some half dozen for the democracy's selection. Arthttb Sewall of Maine, who was the Bryan candidate for vice-president in 1896, says that Bryan will not carry a single New England state, and hence there is no use selecting from them a candidate. "It might be possible to cany .New York if a campaign without mistakes is, conducted. If New York into is not honored, the nomination ahoald go to the central west" When the democratic politicians in congress get an opportunity to deliver a blow ngainat the trusts they don't Utilize it, but let the opportunity slip bythsaa. A report in favor of aeon- aaaendnient, given congress r to legislate was opposed by all the democratic members of the committee. It in one thing to say you are opposed to trnata, and quite another thing to be op posed to them. Senator Clark of Montana was com pelled to witness his name Btricken from the roll of the United States senate. Shortly after, it was announced by tele gram that the acting-governor of Mon tana had received Clark's resignation and had appointed him to fill the vacan cy. Bnt thereby may hang quite a tale. If his election was because of fraud and corraptioo, then there was no vacancy, becne it did not happen after the ad jenmment of the Montana legislature. PnoF. Fowler, superintendent of the .Blair choom for the past six years, has been nominated for State Superintend ent of Pnblic Instruction.

It took us about three hours to get the wounded and sick to the boat and to get three days rations off. The major immediately appointed me his adjutant so I went with them. We reached San Jose about 1 o'clock and Capt. Kendrick had not appeared. A letter was picked up here that some one had dropped in their flight. It was without signature and in the native tongue. It said that the attack on the south column had been a failure, so those who had made that attack would hasten to reinforce those who were to attack our north column. Of course this made all of us anxious and we were ready to "hike" hands to reach the north column who we feared might be in a close place. Here at San Jose was a good example of the methods of the insurrectos to make the natives fight against the Americans in the belief that the latter would kill them and de stroy their property anyway. The night before Major McNamee had occupied the house where Col. Legaspi, the Fili pino governor of No and So Camarines, had had his headquarters. When our troops left San Jose at 7 a. m. this was a beautiful residence in perfect repair. When we marched in again at 1 p. m. it was a wreck not by fire, but the panels were split from the doors, the furniture was in the street broken, the floors were torn up and the house as completely de molished aB could be in so short a time. We reached Ciao at 4 p. m. and camped for the night in an old church. All the towns we entered were completely de serted. At 6 the next morning we took the north trail and found evidences of the enemy before us. Twice we came upon barricades across the road, newly built, but abandoned for some reason. About. 9:30, after passing over an ex ceedingly rough mountain trail where most of the way we had to march single file and crossing eleven mountain streams we came upon Captain Kendrick's col umn, companies A and B at the little town of Lalud. Here the previous af ternoon they had had a fight in which they lost two killed and one wounded and had buried, when the town was taken, thirteen of the enemy, and that many more must have been mortally wounded, who crept away into the ravines at the sides. Companies A and B after leaving Neuva Caceres found they could not de pend on their guides and after the first day had been lost. The trail was blind and Captain Kelly took the lead and1 with a compass and his knowledge of pathfinding took them in the right di rection. On the morning of the 1st of March they came out on the right trail again. They were without rations and for several hours had had no water. So they did not stop at noon but went ahead where the guide told them they would strike a stream of good water. About 2 o'clock, as the advance guard approached a place where the trail narrowed and de scended, presumably a cat to cross a canon, they discovered bolo men on each flank and in a moment shots were fired from across the ravine. They now dis covered breastworks nearly hidden by the brush just on the opposite crest of the canon. A and B companies were deployed each side of the trail and a brisk fire was kept up for twenty minutes. It was noticed that there were frequent puffs of black smoke from the breastworks on each side of the trail and they were thought to be small cannon, and so it proved. About this time Capt. Kelly took 40 men and waiting a few minutes for Capt. Kendrick to pour three volleys into the breastworks, he charged, across with a yell and gaining the opposite crest he saw the last of that insurgent band striking the trail at the other end of the village. Here we found them the next morning. The enemy had an excellent position and had built breastworks of green stalks of hemp about two small cannon which were so placed as to command the trail descend ing into the canons. From these they shot scrap iron, old nails and old bolts. But they didn't get the right aim. Their thirteen dead were close to the guns for the Krag bullets had gone through their breastworks. These men were the best specimens of Filipino soldiers we have seen, they were all uniformed and had artillery insignia on their collars. Col. Legaspi was in command but he es caped. Charles C. Pulis. (Continued next tceek.) The rub will come when the Kansas City convention is called upon to de clare itself in favor of sixteen to one without the consent of any other party on earth. Towne will be a good Indian, possibly to the extent of retiring in favor of a democrat, in case the democrats make an emphatic showing for silver in their platform. If they show signs of wanting to neglect the white metal, Towne's candidacy will continue to hang over them like a threatening cloud. That vice presidential nomination is the moat embarrassing feature of the entire democratic situation just at present. The Nebraska fosionists at Sioux Falls knew what they were doing when they lifted up their voices against it Lin coln Journal 'The party that favors the nomination to office or the election of an incapable or corrupt man is not only doing injury to the party bnt also to the country, of course. In a multiplicity of appointees sent" abroad to represent the United States, it was almost too much to expect that there would be no dishonorable ones. This should be the case, of course, but ordinary party machinery manipu lated in the ordinary way does not always bring to the front the most patriotic or sMrnat XHXSSSSX) Perhaps never before in the history of this country has there been each an incessant endeavor on the 'part of pol iticians opposed to the administration, to place public matters in a false light; to misconstrue to the people the mo tives of the president; to distort and magnify any objectionable features that may be noticed. Take the war between England and the Boers. A hot-headed president, following the advice of dem ocrats, could very readily have brought on trouble between England and the United States. Had they aaoceededin doing this, then they would have had a most excellent opportunity to denounce President McKinley for his rashness in bringing the country into grief. Inter ference was the next thing urged upon President McKinley, but neither did that work to their satisfaction. Media tion to be effective, should be with good will to both contending parties, and agreeable to each of them. President McKinley understands the situation, and is equal to the occasion. It is .stated that within the last fort night bankers of Paris have through the Bank of France, negotiated a loan of $15,000,000 from New York bankers. This money is needed to finance enter prises incident to the exposition year in Paris. While France is one of the rich est countries in the world, its stock of gold was insufficient to meet all the de mands that have sprang up this year and the bankers of Paris have borrowed here at comparatively low interest rates in order to prevent any enterprise from lagging. It is certainly a gratifying fact that Uncle Samuel is in condition to help the nephews across the waters in their financial straits this year. Europe ought to be learning that with the great weights they are carrying in the shape of their standing armies, and the enor mous expenditures for the royal families, Europe is no match to America for surplus capital in business investments. In 1892 this congressional district gave Geo. D. Meiklejohn, republican, 12,842 votes; G. F. Keiper, democrat, 8,956; W. A. Poynter, populist, 8,904. While Meiklejohn had a plurality of nearly 4,000 votes there was a majority against the republican candidate of more than 5,000 votes. Last year Robinson, fusion, defeated Norris, republican, by less than 1,500 votes. This shows bow republican opposition in the Third has declined and it is liable to a much greater reduction this year. Norfolk News. The nigger in the wood pile has been located at last The pop state officials have been slandered. They have .not been riding on free passes. The "dear people" have paid the freight for them and the railroads are not out a cent. They have increased their track mileage about 500 miles, yet the state house ring has decreased their assessed valua tion about $3,000,000. That is reform. Lynch Journal.

The water committee of the city are desirous of calling the attention of water consumers to Section 7, of the ordin ance, which reads as follows: "All persons, companies or corpora tions using city water are prohibited to open any hydrant, tap or other connec tion of any description during the pro gress of any fire within said city, and it is hereby made the duty of all consum ers, upon the sounding of the fire alarm, to immediately close and keep closed all water taps during the continuance of said fire."
