FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1809,
THE full returns indicate that Mississippi is also safe.
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN JONES denies that he ever knew general prosperity.
DID Mr. Goebel return Col. Bryan's congratulatory election telegram or did he receive another telegram of sympathy from the presidential candidate?
REPORTS from a reliable Iowa source state that Mr. Fred White, who thought he was running for the governorship of Iowa, has now recovered his breath.
PBKSIDENT McKiNi.nr is of course much crestfallen since he discovers from a number of Democratic editorials that his message was weak, stupid and unsatisfactory.
THE Democratic papers are quite •ure, in fact they are unanimously certain that the continued prominence of Senator Hanna will be a great bur
den
to the Republican party.
IT depends: If it can be clearly shown that expansion helps cotton, then the south might be convinced that a constitutional objection to the policy does not, after all, exist in such large type.
SOME of the American Tagalo papers which were running
aloDg
with Aguin-
aldo seem to have dropped out. Was the pace
too
hot, or have they deserted
their erstwhile idol since misfortune is overtaking him?
JAPAN is greatly exercised over the discovery of gold within her borders. This is another blow to the silver mon and will, of course, be charged to the baneful influence of the money devil. Why, men like Hanna ought to be ostracized
THE several thousand workingmen who received advances in their wages last week will, of course, ignorantly attribute it to prosperity. How excessively foolish. There are statesmen traveling through the country who could easily explain the absurd folly of such a delusion.
THE London Telegraph sees in the President's message "a partial abandonment of Monroeism." All that is needed to convince the Telegraph or any other iadividual there is no uncertainty about the matte:- is for someone to dispute the proposition that the western hemisphere is for Americans.
THE New York World looks with emotions akin to pity upon the present breed of statesmen. It queries incessantly "are there any great men left?" Has thiB mighty paper in its scanning of the American horizon for national intellectual giants, overlooked the names of Hearst, editor of the Journal or Pulitzer, owner of the World of New York, N.
IT has been hinted that even should Mr. Bryan come east, perhaps he could not stem the tide of increases in wages which seems to be affecting all lines of industry like a panic. One of the last advances reported is the announcement that January 1st, the cotton manufacturers of Augusta, Ga., will raise the wages of their employes, and it is predicted that other southern manufacturers will follow suit. It iB estimated that when the first of January has come, there will be in the northern states about 140,000 cotton mill operatives working under increased wages, and that the advance in the south will bring the total number of employes in that branch of industry who are receiving higher wages up to more than 160,000.
CANDIDATE BRYAN'S trip to Texas is said to have been highly successful, the rear-platform speech being much in evidence. During the trip State Attorney-General Smith sprung a surprise by nominating ex-Governor Hogg for the vice-presidency, Mr. Bryan himself heartily applauding the suggestion. As the corpulent Texan is an enthusiastic expansionist, some little change of heart
Bonjewhere
may be
necessary before the campaign opens. Mr. Bryan is evidently still Btrong on the anti-expansion theme as he assured hia audiences that the people of the United States would never tolerate the saddling upon them of a great standing army of one Boldier to every 1.000 citizens. This assurance so relieved the terrified Texane that Mr. Bryan received wild applause.
DEMOCRATIC editors continue to point with pride to the strikes and labor difficulties which crop out from time to time in different parts of the country. If there are such unparalleled prosperity, and such high WBgee, they say, why should strikes occur? The very fact that every line of trade and manufacture is prosperous accounts for such strikes and labor troubles. Workmen who see others getting generously treated, aud observe increases of wages in kindred trades, demand their share of the prevailing prosperity, even to the point of striking for it. There is all the difference in the world between, a strike for higher wnges and a strike against the reduction of wBgcs, but your carping Fopocratic editor would never take the pains to discriminate. The strikes we hear of nowadays are strikes for increased wages.
IT is stated that a society has been formed in Berlin io "oppose Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood." It is thought there will be a simultaneous movement in the United States to ascertain whether "Coin" Harvey was sane when he wrote the pernicious fairy tales contained in his book, "Coin's Financial .School."
THE populist governor of Nebraska has appointed ex-Senator Windy V. Allen to succeed the late Senator Haywood. And so once again Washington will hear great populistic noises in and about the Capitol. The roaring of the 1'ons of the Zoo at one end of the city and Allen in the senate at the other end.
MALUM
Filipino IJ ICP TALKS on (lie Futnr-fi ol'tlio Islaixls. Manila, Di'C. 20. Mabini, formerly a member of the Filipino cabinet, and considered the strongest tuul most intelligent of the insurgents, said to a press correspondent- at- Manila yesterday:. "Tiie future peace of the Philippines depends entirely upon the form of government the Americans establish. We are vanquished because we lacked food and munitions and mismanaged our affairs. But ihe spirit of independence is craving for recognition. The individuality of the Filipino people still lives. If the government eventually established hero is liberal, secure and free, the satisfaction and contentment of the people wiU result, and there "vill be no trouble. If it is otherwise the people will be dinsarisfled aud will aid revolutionary movement-, which will surely occur sooner or later. "Without the peoples' support, such a movement, is impossible. Everything depends on what r.he\ Americana do. The subsequent guerilla warfare will be easily terminated .if the people do not support it, which they will do if they are satisfied. Otherwise it will be possible to proloug it indefinitely. I believe- the Filippiao islanders should be consulted as to the nature aud details of the government to 'ye established. If the war results in the recognition of our desires, rights and necessities as a people to be governed, it will not have been in vain." Mabini spoke unofficially, expressing his own opinions.
The Panay insurgents have been driven ut of the island by G-ener.il Hughes aud are passing to Negros, where they are oourtiug trouble. Two hundred recent arrivals there from Pauay ambushed Lieutenant A. O. Li'd ward with a party of 15 men of the. Sixth infantry. It was in this light that Lieutenant Ledward was killed, falling at the second volley. Colouel smith, governor of Negros, has been obliged to arrest several proniineut natives on a charge of conspiracy.
The native municipal constabulary in three towns recently mutinied and went into tlie mountains but the native soldiery are reported loyal.

MOUNTED INFANTRY
War Office Decides to Follow Buller's Suggestion Made Some Time Ago.
TO MOBILIZE 10,000 MEN
Of the "Imperial Yeomanry" For the South African War l''ull Inst of Casualties Kroni Ttigela Liiver Anxiously Awaited Chicago Uefugee
Arrives In London.
London, Dec. 20.—Ttie governmenthas at Inst, consented to mobilize a force which General Bailor is credited with having demanded all along as essential of success in South Africa, namely 10,000 mounted mfautry. This morning the war olfiee issued an order to the effect that the governmaut had decided to raise for South Africa a mounted infantry force, to be called. "Imperial Yeomanry," and to be recruited from yeomanry, volunteers aud civilians possessing the qualifications. Enlistment will be for one year, or during the continuance of the war.
The men must be between 20 and 85 years of age and of equal physique to the ordinary cavalry soldier. Officers and men are to provide their own horses and to wear neutral tint cloth shooting jackets, not- necessarily uniform, felt hats, breeches and gaiters. All must, be good riders and marksmen.
The same oi'iter iuvites every volunteer regiment that is linked with a regular battalion serving at the front to supply a full company, which will take the place of the mounted infantry of the regiment.
These arrangements are expected to result, iu a considerable lorce. The enrolled strength of the yeomanry forces which originated iu the troubulou? period ol the French revolution, is now 10,433. Their services have never before beeu called for in war.
Special reports regarding the fight in at the Tngela river are still tilterm througn, but all the newspapers complain that these are severely censore.l ami it is still impossible to get an accurate idea of the bat-tie. From the latest accounts, however, it appears that General Bullcr was in personal command.

Description of the LJiigagemeiit 'lunula lliver. Ghiveley Gamp, Natal, Dec. 15.—The relief column coutiuued its advauce from Ouiveley early today, intending assail the Boer positions, which were kuown to be very strong to the west ward aud northwest of Golenso. Dar iug the two preccdiug days the Boer had allowed themselves to bt bombard ed without condescending to reply with
a single shot. They further took half an hour bombardment this morning without au exchange, when suddenly they belc hed out a stream of lire from all their en trenchmeuts, beside opeuing a fearful oauuouade with all their quick firers field aud siege guns which were posted from end to end of their positions When their presence and actual posi tious had beeu determined, the British naval brigade commenced shelling all the ridges north of the town, with marvelous accuracy.
At this time the artillery attached to General Hart's division was busy among thd' entrenchments on the hills on the British left, under oover of which the Irish infantry brigade marched out in extended ordor to cross the river aud attack. Undoubtedly, aiming at this battery, the Boers sent several shells near the ambulance traiu, which was forced to change its positions.
While this was transpiring the field artillery on the right were shelling the ridges of the Boers' left flank, their excellent practice attracting the attention of the Boers who retaliated with a scathing fire, almost demolishing all the guus and stampeding the gun carriage and timber horses. .*
