Jfrven Massachusetts, the Hot-Bed of Anti-Philippine Agitation, Gives a Great Republican Majority - Local Is- i,. r mm* Controlled in Many State*. In any fftJr eomment upon the f&n* ffJui result of tfce elections a clear and „ ^harp (listiuctton mast be drawn be- the States In which national po­ litical issues were really involved and the States which confined their several * contests to purely local questions or to general questions hiving no partisan ^|)olifical significance. ; It is not easy to overestimate the im­ portance of the outcome of the extra­ ordinary Kentucky struggle. The "reg- $ilar"' Democratic ticket, headed by •^JSoebel, was defeated, and William S. Taylor is Elected Governor. There was ^jfaut one issue in Kentucky -honesty in ||nouiinations and elections, freedom of jnuffrage and independence of the voter. , .^Groebel's candidacy was secured by . force fraud and defiant disregard of all ;? |>olitical decency. His election law, * passed by a subservient legislature, : ; iiad been condemned by the soundest >/ Democrats as a menace to free institu­ tions. The revolt against him mahi- . tested itself early and grew steadily in ,.intensity and extent. Bryan was sum- ."•jnoneel to his aid, and the ideal of the ; ""regular" Democrats tried to divert -' jthe attention of the anti-Goebel forces ,'ifrom the actual issues before them to unreal and irrelevant questions in ?which they were not interested. He ministration with his exceptional abil­ ity and forced and the result is a sweep^ ing victory for him and his principles;" Similarly, in Oh|o there is no sign of any pronounced, hostility to what is called "imperialism." In spite of fac­ tional fights and intrigue, in spite of labor's sympathy with Jones, the senti­ mental "golden rule" candidate (who, by the way, has taken off his mask and admitted that not the "abolition of party," but the strengthening of McLean, was his true object), and in spite of other confusing and bewilder­ ing factors, Judge Nash is elected by a splendid plurality. MeLean was left without a platform at the very outset, and che shrewdly avoided the issues dear to Bryan, but there w&l no pos­ sibility of mistaking the Republican attitude. And that attitude has been approved. . v Massachusetts, the hotbed of anti- Philippine agitation, where, it lifts been alleged, tens of thousands of Republi­ cans are in revolt against the admin­ istration, gives a Republican plurality of about 60,000, notwithstanding an ex­ ceptionally apathetic contest. The Democrats carried Boston, where their candidate is well known and popular, but it cannot be pretended that anti- imperialism is responsible for the change in the Hub. In New Jersey, New York and South Dakota national issues were predomi­ nant, and "anti-imperialism" has re­ ceived a serious setback In each of these States. It is conspicuously dem­ onstrated that the people are not so excited over the Philippine question as the irreconcilable minority has imag­ ined. They do hot believe the republic to be in danger from imperialism or militarism. They perceive no honor­ able alternative to the course the Gov- tus Wll-l- BE an jeasy winner. pwm failed utterly, and he injured his own reputation for sincerity and devotion to principle without advancing the cause of the unfit Goebel. The Ken­ tucky lesson is one which politicians 41 ud manipulators of ail parties will do well to ponder. It is too late in the day to suppress the American sense of hon­ esty and fair play. The people will .have free conventions and a fair count. The fusionists carried Nebraska, and William J. Bryan construes this result as a "protest against the policies of the Republican administration." In point of fact, the situation in-Nebraska has at no time been complex or obscure. Fusion had been losing ground' stead­ ily since 1892, and last year its candi­ date for Governor had the harrow mar­ gin of 2,721 votes. Had not sentimental considerations entered into the cam­ paign of this off year this slight major­ ity would certainly have been wiped out and the State would have returned to the Republican column. But the •chief, if not the whole, issue toward the close was Bryan himself rather than Bryanism. Nebraska is no longer in­ terested in cheap money, and it never sympathized with the attacks upon the administration's* Philippine policy. It stands on these great questions exactly where Ohio, Iowa and Massachusetts stand. But thousands of ex-Populists and ex-fusionists evinced their admira­ tion for Bryan's personal honesty, amiability and enthusiasm. This is the only reasonable interpretation of the Nebraska fusion victory. Any other violates evidence and probability. It is equally important to point out that the Democratic capture of Mary­ land lias absolutely no bearing on the national situation. While some dis­ tinguished gold Democrats discerned the fact that the Bryanites would de­ rive much encouragement from the election of the Democratic ticket in Maryland on a platform silent on the financial issue, the majority of the .-V sound-money men who bolted In 1896 and last year declined to take this view Of the matter. Col. Smith, the candi­ date of the Democrats, is a gold standr ard man. and his fitness and integrity being beyond doubt, they saw no suffi­ cient reason for refusing him their votes. The Democrats avoided national topics, and most of the Republican speakers pursued the same policy. Maryland is as sound as ever, and will never, give her vote to cheap money. The "imperialism" issue attracted little attention. ' In the States where national issues did play a conspicuous part the ver­ dict is decidedly adverse to the assail­ ants of the administration and unques­ tionably attests the determination of the people to sustain the policies now in force. When we turn to low*, Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York )T;inunany's jurisdiction excepted) and South Dakota, the logical deduc­ tions from the returns are too plain aud obvious to admit of any rational doubt or cavil. The campaign In Iowa - was ideally simple and free from equi­ vocation. There were no local issues, •"'land Mr. White assumed and maintain­ ed a most aggressive anti-war and anti- anuexation position. He relied almost exclusively on the force of his appeal '<to the anti-imperialistic attitude. He land his managers Invented an Anglo- American alliance against Germany «nd strove to kindle; prejudice anil pas­ sion. Gov. Shaw supported the ad- ernment has adopted. They do not favor retreat, and the future prob­ lems of government and administration they are willing to leave to Congress and the American love of liberty and justice.--Chicago Post. Will Have to Try Aeafn. Henry W. Lamb, president of the New England Free Trade League, makes this assertion: "American pro­ ducers for years have proved their ability, if freed from tariff restrictions, to compete with foreigners." When Lamb speaks of "tariff restrictions" he means the system of protection. Let ub, therefore, see how the facts bear out the contention. In 1802, under the McKinley law, our exports amounted to $1,030,275,148. Then the Democrat^ came into power and passed the Wilson law, and under its operation our ex­ ports took a big drop, ranging from $807,000,000 to $882,000,000 annually. Then the Republicans came in again and passed the Dingley law, under which our exports rose to $1,050,993,- 556 in 1897 and to $1,231,482,230 in 1898. Mr. Lamb will have to try again if he wants to convince the American people that protection is not good for their in­ dustries and their foreign trade.--"Bur­ lington Hawkeye. / A Contrast. It is to the advantage of the people of this country to have their tariff laws constructed by the Republican party, which knows what it is about. How great the contrast between the happy conditions brought about by the Ding- ley law and the disaster precipitated by the apprehensions which followed the election of a Democratic President in 1892 and the enactment' of the Demo­ cratic Wilson biU in 1894!--Milwaukee Wisconsin. Gainers by Prosperity. There has been no more remarkable evidence of the general prosperity now prevailing than the large increase vol­ untarily made in the wages of all the men employed on lake vessels. The engineers, who demanded an advance of 12% per cent., were given an ad­ vance of 20 per cent., and all others were raised 20 per cent without any request on their part. The total num­ ber affected is about 15,000.--Indianap­ olis Journal. . No More Bootless Discussion. The present tariff has brought order out of chaos, prosperity out of disas­ ter, and strength out of weakness. It is to be hoped that there will be no more bootless discussion of this ques­ tion which has already been settled, but if it must come, let the issue be drawn squarely and let the Democracy of the country endure the conse­ quences--Hannibal (Mo.) Courier- Post. Ungrateful.' Senator Vest asserts on returning from Canada that the Dingley tariff benefits the Dominion at our expense. And yet the ungrateful Canadians want us to repeal the law.--St. Louis Globe Democrat. Unpopular with Tramps. McKinley won';t get the vote of a sin­ gle tramp next year. They are tired of finding themselves up against a .waiting Job every time they turn around.--Ludington (Mich.) Record. Ironing Curtains. Not the dainty lace ones which adorn the windows of the wealthy, but the common screen, dainty or dotted Swiss with which many of us are blessed. As preliminaries have the ironing bed on a good, solid table wider than the cur­ tain goods, a high chair or stool to sit on. A common chair with a box on it just the height to suit you will do for. a seat Iron half yard or more of the goods, l^ing careful to hold the hem, sides and stripes straight. Roll up like a picture roll (but not nearly so tight) as far as you have ironed, then go on in like manner again. When you get to the top of the curtain you have a dainty roll, without a wrinkle and so convenient to lay aside until you are ready to put It up.-Mrs. W. A. White. Burns. For burns, especially if not severe enough to destroy the skin, the ad­ hesive-plaster covering can also be rec­ ommended. My practice, however, is to make a thick palte of common bak­ ing soda (saleratus, bicarbonate of soda) and water, and put this thickly on the burned surface, then wind a cloth around it to keep the paste in place for a while and the injured por- ' tion tightly covered. The pain ceases when the air is kept from the burned surface. After a while the soda paste is removed and the spot covered with adhesive plaster. For severe burns ap­ ply quickly a thick coveriug stra­ tus paste, petroleum, twtfc? ^ cotton, »nfl calVa physician, ... , FILIPINOS LOSE SIXTY. Killed in One Fight, El Preparing Stuffed Eggs for the Wile. J?ut six eggs into lukewarm water, bring to boiling point and simmer gently for twenty minutes; remove the shells and cut the eggs into halves lengthwise; rub the yolks to a powder, adding grad­ ually two tablespooufuls of melted but­ ter, half a teaspoonful of salt, d dash of pepper, and, if you like, a few drops of onion juice. Form into balte and put back into the whites. The seasoning may be changed by adding two or three mashed sardines to the yolks, or one or two anchovies, or you may add a tablespoonful of chopped tongue or ham.--Ladies' Home Journal • . Dutch Apple Cake. This recipe was obtained by one wha visited the Hartford cooking school: One cup flour, quarter teaspoon salt, one level teaspoon baking powder, one tablespoon sugar* one tablespoon but­ ter, one egg, one-half cup milk, two sour, finely flavored apples. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together, chip in the butter, beat the egg, add the tiailk and stir into the dry mixture. Spread the batter one-half inch thick upon a shallow pan, cut the apples thin and place them in rows and dust with sugar, bake in hot oven twenty to thirty minutes.--Breadwinner. Sweet Pickled Pears; r*l Ten pounds Bartlett pears, not quite ripe; wipe them and remove the blos­ som end, then cook them in boiling wa­ ter until tender. Remove fruit and strain the water; take one quart of this water, add to it one quart vinegar, five pounds sugar and half cup mixed whole cloves, allspice, mace and stick cinna­ mon. Put it on to boil for half an hour, then add the pears, and when well scalded, remove them and pack in glass jars. Boil the syrup down until there is enough to cover the fruit. Pour over and seal at once. A Good Cheap Paint. A good paint may be made by l*oiling together three gallons of water and one pint of flaxseed for thirty minutes; take off and add water enough to make' four gallons: let this stand to settle, then pour off the water iu a pail and put in whiting enough to make a mix­ ture like whitewash; then add a half pint of raw linseed oil. stir thoroughly and apply with a good wall or white­ wash brush. Such a paint is cheap and durable. Molasses Spice Cake. Mix together one-half cupful each molasses, sugar and thick sour cream. onu-liaJf teaspoon cinuamon. one-fourth teaspoon allspice and one-fourth tea­ spoon cloves. Add to this one egg well l>eaten and one pint of flour, with which one-half teaspoon soda is sifted. Mix thoroughly, aud stir in one-half cupful of currants. Bake in small cakes or in a thin sheet. Gloss for Shirt Fronts. > I'ound two ounces of fine, white gum- arabic to a powder, put in a pitcher and pour over it one pint of boiling water. .Cover and let It sit all night. Carefully pour from, the dregs into a clean bottle. Cork and keep for use. One tablespoonful stirred into a pint of starch produces a lovely gloss on linen, and is quite ham terial. Household Hints. Add a cup of good cider vinegar,^ the water in which you l>oil tish. Boston baked beans can be improved by adding a cup of sweet cream the last hour of baking. Small pickles, olives and capers minced fine are an excellent seasoning for a salad dressing. Thre? tablespoonfuls of freshly made Japan tea, with a bit of nutmeg, give an indispensable flavor to an apple pie. To give a fine flavor to corned beef hash use good stock for moistening, with a pinch of salt sugar aud cayenne. When making tomato soup add a raw cucumber sliced fine, boil soft and strain with tomato. It gives pleasant seasoning. A new soda water drink may l>e made at home and consists of a large spoonful of ice cream with a generous supply of thick chocolate syrup poured over the top. A bowl of hot milk taken immediate­ ly before retiring is said by those who have suffered from insomnia to be a better soporifie than any opiate known, to medical science. A novel way to make sandwiches is to use horseradish grated while fresh, instead of mustard. Spread in a thin layer upon each buttered slice, and tfie result will be found an appetizing sur­ prise. Two columns of Gen. MacArihur's di­ vision Sunday look Magalang, six miles northeast of Angeles. Col. Smith, with two battalions of the Seventeenth infan­ try, two guns of the First artillery ami a body of ensrineera, advanced from Ange­ les. Maj. O'Brien, with a battalion of the Seventeenth infantry and two troops of the Foorth cavalry moved from Calu­ met. Col. Smith killed eleven insurgents, Wounded 128 and captured fifty. Maj. O'Brien killed forty-nine insurgents, wounded many and took twenty-eight prisoners. The Americans had eleven men wounded. Magatang, the town taken, is a strong town, situated midway between Angeles and Arayat The movement is a part of a plan for the Americans to possess all the country fo the southeast of Tarlac as the troops close in on the capital, cutting the line of the enemy's retreat in that direction. The insurgent force i« estimated at 1,000. Col. SnSith first encountered a small force entrenched a quarter of a mile beyond Angeles, which soon retreat­ ed, leaving two of their number dead. The enemy made a short stand at the out­ skirts of Barrios and San Francisco, briskly shooting at the advancing Ameri­ cans. Capt. Brush deployed with the ad­ vance guard of the battalion and charged tha Filipinos, who took to flight. Seven Americans were wounded. The Ameri­ cans almost surrounded the insurgents, who resisted stubbornly. A special from Washington says that with forces aggre­ gating more than 30,000 fighting men Gene.

The,-great interest manifested by the United State* In the encroachments of littroneajj in Chinese territory hag Criminated in the formation of a definite poli®r by this Government looking to th«|j t-Qnttnuatioo of the valuably trade lyjTtui- tages held by America in Ohina. It ap­ pears to have been determined finally that no effort to participate in the parti­ tion of China shall be UU.de. but there will be no receding from the l'ntentioH to make European Governments respect the interests of the United States in their attempt to divide up the empire. The trade advantages possessed by this coun­ try are secured by treaty with China, and Abie Government is prepared to resent any interference with conditions over there that will make theae #dvantage^, Jess val­ uable. While the Washington officials decliM to give any details of recent exchanges between the State Department and Euro­ pean governments on the subject, they admit frankly that an earnest endeavor to retain American ipflueiiee in China is being made, and wUl not deny reports that Germany, France and Russia have beat) jtold that they must not let their partition pi^ns interfere with a continu­ ance of American tradew DECLARES FLAG LAW VOID. JidicHHbbons $ays the Illinois Act la Not Constitutional. The Illinois flag law, which has provok­ ed litigation since its passage and led to numerous arrests, was declared unconsti­ tutional by Judge Gibbous of Chicago in a lengthy opinion. In unmistakable terms the jurist declares that the informer's fee clause in the flag act is against the spirit of American law, as tending to provoke strife and ill will between man BJkd man. The decision tarns ea this point, the court holding that the power granted by the constitution to the Governor of the State to pardon offenders and remit fines and penalties is in conflict with the stat­ ute which guarantees ta the iaforattr a ahame of the fine. The town of Ladysmith i» named after the wife of Sir Harry Smith, at one time (Jovermir of Cape Colony. Sir Harry SinLt&i while a young officer in the army, served in Spain during the Peninsular war. On one occasion, when a detach­ ment of troops, commanded by Sir Har­ ry, had captured and were occupying a Spanish town, he was appealed to for protection by two beautiful young Span­ ish girls of noble birth. Protection was, of course, given them, and shortly the commanding officer found himself deeply in love with one of his charges. She af­ terwards became his wife, and it is for her thait the South African town is nam­ ed. -:-- In 1857 the coinage of the big copper pennies which everybody has seen, was suspended. Up to that time they had been coined regularly for sixty-live years. In all 130,000,000 of the big awkward coins- had been put into circulation. Not more than one-fourth of that number have ever been paid back to the Government or ex­ changed for other coin. They are not now in general use; they have no value as curi­ osities; they have not been sent abroad. What has become of them? Tp the num­ ber of 118,000,000 they are still outstand­ ing, though not one has been coined' for forty-two years. The present estimates of the total pop­ ulation of the world vary from 1.000.- 000.000 to 2,000,000,000, and the Royal Geographical Society of England thinks it is high time that the people are count- accurate estimate, possible even in sav­ age and uncivilized countries. Russia hav­ ing completed a successful census in Si^ beria and England one in India. It pro­ poses the formation of an international organization to take in charge the work of a world census. In the' medical corps of the British army there are between seventy and eighty regular trained woman nurses. They wear a uniform of gray serge, with a little red shoulder cape and a severely plain white cap. This uniform is worn on war duty as well as at home, the idea being to make the hospitals as familiar and homelike as possible. The pay of the nurses begins at $150 a year and rises to $250, everything, including food, lodging and clothing, being provided in addition. People, who yet hardly hare recovered from the shock of the recent daring train robbery on the Chicago and Northwest­ ern road, may be astonished to learn that each year since 1890 more than twenty trains have been, held up and robbed within the limits of the United States. In round numbers there have been within the last ten years 230 train holdups in this country, with more than eighty peo­ ple killed outright and nearly as many wounded as a result. In the last six months more freight cam have been ordered than ever before in the same, length of time. The, total "numbei of orders placed 4s 88,088. If these car» were placed end to end they would covei 567 miles of track. The estimated coal of building them is $65,000,009. In the next Congress there will be a large appropriation for rural free deliv­ ery. The report of Perry Heath shows that rural free delivery is a success, al­ though the appropriation still limits it to the experimental stage. It has been dem­ onstrated that the average cost to the population served in the whole country ia only 84 cents per capita annually, whe're- aS in cities of only 5,000 having free de­ livery the cost i* at least $2.80 annually for each inhabitant. It has been proved that where the roads are fairly good, the houses near together, and the population reasonably intelligent letters can and should be delivered and collected at tl» farm cross roads. The reports of the suc­ cess of the system on selected routes are almost invariably enthusiastic, and it is believed Congress will appropriate at least $1,000,000 for the extension of the service to the farmers. It has resulted in an increase of the circulation of both daily and weekly papers, while there has been an immediate addition to the general postal revenues. Farmers receive and write more letters when they can have them delivered and collected. As fast as the money is provided new routes will be laid out. On July 1 the routes extend­ ed ovesr 8,930 miles, covered an area of 7,567 square miles, served a population of 273,004, and had handled 9,212,927 piece* of mail. President McKinley will probably out­ line his Philippine policy, at least far enough to ask Congress for a specific dec­ laration as to. the status of the islands. Tiie treaty o{ peace ceded the Philippines outright to the United States, but Con­ gress has not yet accepted tnem, Inas­ much as the treaty was ratified^ by the Senate alone, and the status of the isl- ^ has, therefore, never been fixed bv statute law. "The President haa atoumeJT that the United States can keep the isl­ ands, but ne wil) report to Congress that, while the situation does not justify now the establishment of a civil government, it is necessary that the islands should be formally annexed to the United States by law, in general terms, so that the President may proceed legally to defend them. The natflSfil Government has decidM to go into the menagerie business on a scale which will make the ordinary col­ lection of animals look lonesome by com­ parison. The new menagerie will occupy J.06 acres of land northwest of Washing­ ton. Circulars have been prepared and sent out to the consular representatives of the Government all over the world, in­ structing them to purchase and forward to Washington animals of as many differ­ ent species, indigenous to the countries iu which they are located, as possible. It is expected that Africa will contribute the most specimens, among them the gorilla, giraffe and chimpanzee. The na­ tional "zoo" will be maintained in con­ nection with the Smithsonian Institution. The Government is not concerned over the claim made in the Spanish Senate that two of the Batanez group and ihe island of Calayan were not included in the transfer of the Philippines from Spain to tl>e United States through ig- norajace on the part of the treaty makers. The American commissioners gave tha fullest consideration to the question whether these islands would not be out­ side the boundaries of the archipefhgo prescribed by the treaty, and it was final­ ly arranged, with the concurrence of the Spanish commissioners, that they should be included within American jurisdiction, even if the maps followed by the treaty makers should prove to be defective. Librarian Putnam ia doing a work far the Congressional Library which has long been needed. Of all libraries in the coun­ try that one should be most liberally sop- plied with newspapers and periodicals for use, not only by Congressmen, but by the public in a city where almost more tlwin any other the people should keep abreast of the times. And yet there has been no place hitherto where the leading newspapers could be consulted. Mr. Put­ nam is now equipping one of the largest Knlls in the new building as a newspaper amd periodical room, following the line of the Boston public library, which has a perfcct system of newspaper and periodi­ cal reference. Large numbers of immigrants suffering with loathsome and dangerous diseases are daily arriving in this country. Dur­ ing the month of September alone fifty- one arrived in New York, forty-nine of whom were suffering with contagious and incurable disease of the eye. Thirty-nine of these unfortunates were deported and six are confined in a hospital anti will be sent out of the country as soon as able to travel. Most of the afflicted are from the southern part of Italy and are Rus­ sian Jews, Italians and orientals of va­ rious types. In 1835 the national debt of the United States was only $37,733--less than is owed by hundreds of men to-day. The debt reaches its highest point on Aug. 31, 18G5, when it was $2,844,049,626. Thf first refunding was that of the revo­ lutionary debt, at 6 per cent. After the war of 1812 the war loans were refund- debt incurred during the civil war has been refunded several times at varioua rates of interest. President McKinley went home to vote. He left with Mrs. McKinley on Monday in a private car over the Pennsylrania road, going direct to Canton. Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and a few others ac­ companied them. Checks amounting to $821,000 were re­ ceived by the United States treasurer Wednesday in further part settk^fient of the Union Pacific railroad's indebtedness to the Government.
