Spanish American war—250,000
volunteers—one battle—50,000 ap¬
plicants for pensions. History.
The infant beet sugar trust is
screaming lustily for protiction,

When the river and harbor bill
has run through that surplus there
will be no further need of reduc¬
ing the revenue.
France has purchased a warship
which, complete, will cost her
$6,000,000. Undoubtedly the sur¬
est guarantee of the peace of the
future will be the cost of war.
The W. C. T. U and the Nation¬
al Anti-Saloon League have made
a joint attack on the “capitol buf¬
fet,” and a number of valiant
statesman are said to be on the
verge of nervous prostration.
Mr. Roosevelt remarks that “on
the .vhole wages in the United
States are higher than ever before
In our history,” and “the standard
of living is also higher.”' We ven¬
ture to add that the cost of meat
and potatoes is higher still.
Postmaster General Smith says
$8,000,000 would be saved bis de¬
partment if the mail matter not
entitled to the pound rr-te were
made to pay eight cents per pound ;
and this would in no way interfere
with the legitimate newspapers.
According to the secretary of
war the Philippine trade with
Germany, France and the British
possessions has increased much
faster, since American occupation,
than the trade with the United
States. What rs the explanation?
What did we buv the island for?
The halls of congress have been
remodeled and furnished at an
enormous expense with the most
costly carpets in the world, carved
walnut and mahogany, while the
mouldings glitter with gold-leaf
put on as thick as a boy butters
his bread when he has the pantry
to himself. The committee rooms
are transformed into royal palaces.
All this pays; for it makes a fel¬
low like Maddox feel that “we are
“it.”
Don’t De Sparing of tonr Love,
The power of love is one of the great
est gifts to humanity. It generates the
sunshine of the moral universe, with
out which life would be a desert waste.
Use this divine power without stint
Be prodigal of your love. Let it radi¬
ate freely. It will brighten the dark
places. It will gladden the sorrowing.
It will lift you above tbe petty, grind¬
ing cares that so soon corrode tbe mind
and sap the energies. It is the golden
key that will admit you to the palace
of the true life.—Success.

Our American House of Lords.
Few of the people who are sup¬
posed to vote intelligently know
the extent of the encroachments
of the venerable body knowh as
the United States senate upon the
rights and liberties of the people
whom they are presumed to repre¬
sent. They are almost unlimited
in power. A contributor in Ains-
lee’s December Magazine writes an
interesting article on this potent
branch ot the national govern¬
ment, in which he says:
“For twenty years the senate
has been gaining on the house It
has seized one advantage after an¬
other until it has things about its
own way.
‘Its limited membership and
unlimited debate give individual
senators free play, The house has
grown so big that it has been com¬
pelled to cut off debate and put
arbitrary power in the bands of
the speaker, It has to act prompt¬
ly as a unit it it is to act at all.
“On questions of legislation
where serious differences arise
with the senate, it frequently has
to take a measure or reject it, just
as it stands. It originates legisla¬
tion. It sends a bill over to the
senate and the senate amends it.
It is m the power of a small group
of senators, and sometimes, at the
close ot a session, in the power of
a single senator, to prevent the
passage of any bill.
“There are tunes when any sen¬
ator with a small following, by
threatening long debate, can com¬
pel amendments which are satis¬
factory to him. A measure, thus
amended so as to insure ths sup¬
port of a majority ot the senate,
goes back to the house where it
originated.
“It it is a measure involving
party policy the house has to take
it or else run the risk of sending it
back to the senate again with
amendments that w ill arouse lim¬
itless discussion, imperiling its
fate. In nine cases out of ten the
house, under protest, will accept
the senate amendments rather
than run the risk of defeating the
bill
The “Cotton Exchange.”
The above caption is a misno¬
mer. Take off its Sunday clothes
and this monster beast w ill appear
in its proper elemeut.
I have previously stated plainly
that their fictitious sales and re-
poits have placed the cotton crop
far in excess of its true
and thereby depressed the price of
cotton in the general market.
The last of -September of
year they had the crop estimated
at 10,000,000 bales, and the price
went down. In October the gov¬
ernment report came in with only
61 1-4 per cent of a maximum
crop, showing that these fellows
had lied, and cotton advanced in
price.
They immediately went to drum¬
ming up false sales and receipts
until they again got the crop re¬
port to over 11,000,000 bales, ana
cotton went on down until De¬
cembers, when the government
came in with only 9.675,909 bales,
and cotton immediately sprang
up.
I have contended all tbe while
that it would push us to have over
9,000,000 bales Now take the
above report and reduce it ro a
maximum weight of 500 pounds to
the hale and it will fall short of
the 9,000,000 bales.

bee hives, and we will have to move

If we have to toil for our pro¬
duce, and then throw it mto the
laps of speculators to gamble on
and to see a price upon our labor
we hud oettercall a halt, for if we
as a people will resort to a little
self-respect and common sense
can readily right the wrong.
As for myself, I am going to
fight them until hell freezes over,
and then fight them on the ice.
The speculators on the last of
November said there were over
11,000,000 bales of cotton; the
government said we only had 9i-
675,000 balee. Ask them how r they
are going to deliver their goods
and not wabble on the spindle.
Of course this epistle will be
made light of, and slurs will be
thrown out, but 1 am going to
plant the seed in our community,
and it is up to you people whether
or not it shall germinate. My ef¬
forts alone will be futile. Tall
oaks from little acorns grow—
large streams from little fauntains
flow. You all know that I am
right. Stay with me, is the wish

The S.hley Verdict.
If anything was needed to con¬
firm the opinion that the navy de¬
partment was determined to be¬
little Admiral Schley to the end
that Admiral Sampson and his
satilites could Sain both glory and
cash, in the shape of prize money,
it has been furnished in the con¬
duct of the court of inquiry and in
its report.
To begin with, the inquiry was
conducted by. the judge advocate
as if Schley was under indictment
and he the public prosecutor;
then after the utter collapse of
every charge that was brought
against the gallant Schley, as
shown by the testimony, a majori¬
ty of the court bring in a verdict
condemning Sehfey on every count
but one.
Could anything be plainer?
The only wonder being that the
majority of the court could have
had the brazen assurance to bring
in such a report in the face of the
evidence.
It shows to what length official
servility will go. Admirals Ben-
an( j R am8e y knew that Secre-
tary Long expected them, to con¬
demn Schley and they did it. al-
though their verdict is an insult
to every intelligent man who read
the evidence.
Great is the naval clique and
long the reach of its arm, but it
lias no terrors for Dewey, who
came out in just the manly way
that was expected of him and gives
Schley the credit that he so well
deserves.
The nam< s of Dewey and Schley
will have a warm place in the
hearts of the American people
long i fter such pusillanimous
snobs as Sampson and Secretary
Long have be nr tten.

Booker Washington has been
appointed one of the field agents

urging to induce them to attend
school; and, as they are
means, it would he useless to ap-
peal to them to provide funde tor

expected to woi k among the , u hit.es

It is sincerely to be hoped that
these misguided northern philan¬
thropists will refrain from their
contemplated purposes. The
south is backward, and slow to
move it is true, but things will
will work out right in due time.
Nothing will be gained, but rather
harm done, by fins officious inter¬
meddling bv strangers with mat¬
ters that do not concern them.
As for Washington the south

confine his missiouery work to

Insect Plagnes.
The insect plagues of summer are no
matter of jest. Man must strive with
them as he strives against the other
hostile forces of nature. He must fight
the Hessian fly or the wheat crop will
not be garnered, he must tight the wee¬
vil or the grain will perish in the bins,
he must fight the army worm or the
cattle will starve in the pastures, he
must fight the tent caterpillar and the
borer or his forests will wither and the
streams disappear. The entomologist,
therefore, wages the war of civilization
against forces all the more terrible be¬
cause of their minuteness and apparent
insignificance.—St. Louis Globe-Demo¬
