FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1900.

1I01STKI) BY HIS OWN l'l'.TAHD. The editor of the Xcn's- Itu'lcw thus laments: "An active Democratic worker has been looking over the results of ^ur last county election and we present the table he prepared. It shows that outside of Union township the Democrats made decided gains. But they couldn't withstand the boodle given out here in the city."

The table published by the Kcirs-lie-view flatly falls to bear out the assertion that the Democrats made decided gains in the out townships. It shows they made decided losses. It is based on the election of 1896 and shows the following Democratic gains this year: Coal Creek, 15: Wayne, 18: Ilipley. Madison, ft: Clark, 39 total Democratic wgain in the out townships, 112. Republican gains in the out townships:

Brown. 3a: Scott, 24 Sugar, 19: Franklin, 2ft: Walnut, 2ft: total Republican gain in the out townships, 128. This is a net Republican gain of Hi in the out townships as shown by the figures of "an active Democratic worker." Before the editor of the Xars-Review indulges in another jeremiade he would do well totally his own tables.

TJIK I'KOI'OSED SHIP SUBSIDY.

One of the most dangerous proposi" tions before the Republican party today is the ship subsidy bill. The hist experience the party had in voting money out of the public treasury into private pockets was iu the case of the sugar bounty, and it was a sad one. The Democrats repealed the sugar bounty and no Republican has since proposed to put it back. Therefore :those who are pushing the ship subsidy to the front have a heavy burden of proof resting on them. There is no demand for it among the rank and tile •of the party and its sponsors will have to show extraordinary good reasons for •'their position if they expect to be endorsed at the polls. We are all interested in the revival of our merchant marine and the platform demands it, but nowhere in the platform is there a word in favor of subsidies. It would at least be well to try other means to accomplish the same end before resorting to subsidies, and it rests with the friends of the Hanna--Payne bill to show that all other methods are futile.

European countries are trying to rid themselves of their sugar bounties by mutual agreement. Is it unreasonable to expect that in a few years thoy may try to abolish their ship subsidies in the same manner?

At all events the party leaders should go slow in this matter. It is not, so pressing as to require final action at the coming session of congress.

A PATRIOTIC 1'ltKslUKST,

President McKinley's first postelection speech was made at a banquet in Philadelphia Saturday night. Concerning the recent contest, ht said: "The value of national victory can only be rightly measured and appreciated by what it averts as well as by what it accomplishes, ft is fortunate for the party in power il it understands the true meaning of the result. Those charged by the people with administration and legislation are required to interpret as well as to execute the public will and its rightful interpretation is essential to its faithful execution. We cannot overestimate the great importance and the far-reaching consequences of the electoral contest which ended on the (ith of November. It has to me no personal phase. It is nob the triumph of an individual nor altogether of a party, but an emphatic declaration by the people of what they believe and would have maintained in government.

A great variety, of subjects was presented and discussed in the progress of the campaign. We may differ as to the extent of the influence of the several issues involved, but we are all agreed as to certain things which it settles. It records the unquestioned indorsement of the gold standard, industrial independence, broader markets, commercial expansion, reciprocal trade, the open door in China, the inviolability of public faith, the independence and authority of the judiciary and peace and beneficent government under American sovereignty in the Philippines. American credit remains unimpaired, the American name unimpeached, the honor of American arms unsullied, and the obligations of a righteous war and treaty of peace unrepudiated."

HARRY MILLER.

He Writes Entertainingly of the Philippine Islands and a Soldier's Life There.

The following letter from Harry Miller has been received by his relatives here: "Sibonoa, Cebu Island, P. I., Sep,t. 7, 1900—1 will drop you a short note as it is the same old thing here. can't tell you much, only I am well and so are all the boys with me. We are having a pretty easy time now. Nothing to do. Our company is divided into three sections at three different towns, all in eight miles of each other. We go down about twice a month, so we get to see each other anyway. George Maxwell is with us here. This is headquarters. I think we will start home in November all right. I wish you could see this country, it is very healthy and plenty of fruit of tropical kind, and you would enjoy it. We have a breeze from the sea all the time. This is a small island, twenty four miles wide and forty-six long, so you can very near see the sea on all sides. On Negrcs Island, about live miles to the left, is an active volcano, the highest peak on the Philippine Islands. You can see it very plain from here on a clear morning. It is about 10,500 feet high, so you can tell it is no foot hill. I will try and give you a little geography of the Philippine Islands. There are about 2,000 islands. The principle ones are Luzon, Mindanao, Palawan, Samar, Panay, Cebu, Minduro, Leyte, Negros,Masbate, Bohol, Catanvuanes. Papilillo, Puprias, Picoras. Luzon is the largest and has an area of J1,000 square miles We have telegraph all around now, cable to the states and connection with most of the principle islands. We are 4(i0 miles from Manila south. The whole surface of the Philippine Islands is very mountainous, the only plains being at river mouths and spaces left by intersection of the ranges. The ranges have a tendency to run north and south. Active craters and numerous earthquakes are frequent. We get a shaking up about two times a month, not very violent though. The hottest season is from March to .June. The greatest heat felt is in May just, before the rain sets in, when the temperature ranges from 80 to a 100 in the shade. The cooiest weather is in December and January, when the temperature falls to (i0 and lift No doubt you will be surprised to know that we sleep under a blanket and have been for three or four weeks. The population is estimated at. about 9,000,000, of which is mostly of a Malay origin and are a mixture of Malays. Adas, Megritas, pure blacks, Chinese, Japs, Indias, Moors and Europeans, and are very fond of music and dancing,and are born gamblers. Every town has its cock pit for rooster fights and they will put their la3t dollar on a cock fight The soil is very fertile but for the want of culture is undeveloped. Native wants being few(they are readily provided for, and so they take life easy, and such things]as they raise require but little attention, so consequently they work but little. This island of Cebu is the-fmost important of the Visayas. The town of Cebu is the mo ancient on the Philippine Islands. It is thereat of government of the Visaya Islands, which include Cebu, Bohol, Panav, Negros and Leyte. Well I guess that is all 1 can think of at present so I will close. Hoping to hear from you soon I'am yours, "Harry Millkr, "Manila, P. I. "Stationed at SLbonga, Cebu Island."

A Sad Case.

Tuesday evening at his home on west College street Ira McConnell lired three shots at his wife and son Fred, being at the time in a condition for which he alone was responsible. He was later arrested and is now under detention, a cha-ge of assault with intent to kill having been brought against him. This comes as a climax to along series of abuses to which the unfortunate family of Mr. McConnell have been subjected at his hands. The prosecution will probably be pushed vigorously. The deepest sympathy is extended to the family by all acquainted with the circumstances.

There has been a steady and urgent demand for more houses in our little village for several months past. It is hoped that advantage will be taken of every opportunity to prosper our very business-like place. We have three good general stores, a drug store, a very large grain and coal business in season, a thriving tile agency for a large part of the state and a number of other features of a commercial nature which make a prosperous appearance for the future. The moral, religious, and intellectual tone is of the very best to be fcund anywhere in incorporated towns. And the fact that we are yet unincorporated is a certain guarantee against high taxes for some time. In addition to a good church, a high school supported by the township we have substantial, prosperous farmers all around US. ..... ..
