FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1901.

NEiGHROurOODS with good roads are getting the n. vjrural delivery service. To those who nave improved highways many other advantages shall be given.

SINCE the closing of the canteen at Fort Sheridan there has been more drunkenness among the soldiers than was ever known before. This is not a knock down argument for the abolitionists.

THE Democratic papers can't get over the fact that a great panic on Wall street lasted for but a day there and affected the country at large not in the least. They can't see how it was done and are as

Bore

as the historic farm

hand from Muskateen who put up his summer's wages and then guessed the wrong shell. They had so confidently expected a business smash the country over that some of them were positively getting cheerful.

MR. BBYAN in his paper is still complaining because Roila Wells was elected as mayor of St. Louis. In his last edition he insists that the St, Louis Republicans aided Wells in order to boost the conspiracy to reorganize the Democratic party. Mr. Bryan is uncompromising in his assertion that the reorganizes have lots of trouble ahead of them. He is out for a fight to the death and has nailed the death's head on the mast of his political ship. ......

The Atlanta Constitution 6ays: "The time is 6ure to come when all thougtful Cubans will see that the best thing that could possibly happen to Cuba is such annexation as will make the island an integral part of the Union. It says that "annexation will ultimately come, and there is no good reason why those desirous of promoting the best interests of Cuba should not advocate annexation now." It adds that "There is no higher typo of independence than that which her people will enjoy when Cuba is admitted to the sisterhood of states, and patriotic Cubans will do their country service by now working toward that end."

THE News-lieview reports that there is going to be "strong opposition to Congressman Landis at the next Republican nominating convention." It is the old story that never gets old to the teller thereof. Before every convention he is going to have strong opposition, but when the convention rolls around the Landis sentiment is, in the language of Jell Mills, "more and more unanimouser." Then after the convention Mr. Lanuis is doomed by the Democratic press of the district to certain defeat at the polls. It is a matter of history that his majorities have been increasing at the rate of 500 each election. The Landis opposition is long on lies and short on facts.

ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat: The strength of the stock market in the United States after the flurry of last week is surprising the financiers of the Old World. They looked for a panic in general business, like that which followed the Jay Cooke smash-up in 1873. The conditions are different now from what they were then, though this fact may not be clear to some of the people on the other side of the Atlantic. We have the gold standard now. We had practically no gold whatever then. Gold was merchandise at that time, and went up and down like other commodities. Under such conditions the country's business could not be good, and it was not good. We have passed out of that era, and have

Republican! prosperity. Wall street flurries can not disturb general trade these days.

THE volunteers from the Philippines are returning to the United States as rapidly as the transports can carry them. All of them will be out of the islands before the end of June. Regulars are moving to take their places, but not fast enough to keep the number of troops in the islands up to the mark of a few months ago. The decrease, however, makes comparatively little difference at present. Only two bands oft insurgents, it is understood, are now out, and the surrender of these is looked for in the very near future. But there are many bands of outlaws to be dealt with. These are a permanent feature of life in the Philippines. Spain had the bandits on its hands for centuries, but the United States will set to workKto Ccapture or disperse them. ThiBi will probably keep the soldiers busy for a year or two.

ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat: The prompt rally which took place on Wall street is an impressive illustration of the solidity of general business conditions in the United States. A steeper drop, on the average, took place in stocks last week on Wall street than occurred in the week of Black Friday, in I860, or in the six business days which covered the wreck of the Jay Cooke banking house in 1873. But the crash in business which followed the smash-up in those two instances was absent this time. The failures last week were few and comparatively unimportant, and trade and industry were not affected in the slightest degree. An advance is again under way, but it will be attended with more caution, and it will hardly get out of sight of the earning capacity, the management, and the prospects of the corporations concerned, which are the things that constitute the 3 real value of the shares. Last week's flurry was a lesson to the speculators which will have some influence, at least for a time.

THE President was characteristically pointed and happy in his speech at San Jose. "We live," he said, under aconstitution that was made by 4,000,000 of people, and yet it has proved adequate for 75,000,000 of people. That instrument," he added, "seems almost to be inspired to carry forward the holy mission of liberty. It seems not to have been made alone for those who framed it and their successors, but for all ages and for all mankind. That instrument stands to-day almost as it left the hands of its framers. Few amendments have been added, and those have only been to enlarge the priceless blessings of liberty and free government to the people, and no amendment can ever be made to tho constitution of this country that will curtail the supreme and sovereign power of the people."

LOUISVILLE Times: The Methodist ministers of Worcester, Mass., are properly indignant because of President McKinley's drinking of champagne on a wobbly battleship. That wine, if the genuine thing, should be drunk standing on the solid earth, where there is no danger of spilling a single drop.

A Valuable Gift.

Hon. 1J. S. Kennedy has made a valuable gift to the public library. He has presented to the library his congressional records which ante-date the civil war and include all the debates on the stirring questions of those times. He has also given his valuable set of American Archives, a compilation of all the public documents and correspondence from the colonial days to 1830. This work, in fifty volumes, is especially valuable as a reference, and will acquire added worth as time passes. It is now out of print and this set was secured by Mr. Kennedy some years ago at the sale of Col. Willson's library.

The Town Election.

The law provides that certificates of the election of officers in towns shall be filed by the inspectors of said elections with the county clerk within ten days after tho elections. Tho 17 th of this month is the last day of filing the same and any ordinance passed by a town board before the filing of this certificate is absolutely void. Only three have thus far been filed, Waynetown. Alamo and Englewood. This neglect might cause considerable trouble if acts or ordinances have been enacted before the filing of the certificate of election.

Again a Conductor.

John L. Bills, one of the veterans of the Monon, is again a conductor and is running between French Lick and Orleans. Mr. Bills is one of the best known men on the road, but a few years ago gave up his first love, however, and taking the place of brake' man has again worked his way to a conductorship. Mr. Bills was conductor on the ill-fated passenger train that -went over the bluff north of Crawfordsville on Jan. 11, 1892.

Nearly Done.

The grade for the switch of the Poston brick company to its shale beds is nearly completed and will bo finish ed this week. The rails will bo then laid at once and all in readiness for traffic. Mr. Poston is still convinced that the factory will be turning out its product the latter part of June.

A OiTY UNfrftll ARMS

tfrnops Called to Albany to Suppress Street Car Kims. Albany, N. Y., May 15.—'Tin 23rd regiment of Brooklyn arrived here today to tjnoil die growing tumult occasioned by the street car strike, and which developed into a veritable riot yesterday. The city is quieter under the iniitience of the presence of the troops, and it is thought the worst is over.

When darkness fell last evening several thousand weary street car strikers and sympathizers went to their homes, but they were replaced by as many more, who took up the vigil to prevent the United Traction company from running its electric cars with non-union men. The darkness brought some confidence that there would be no attempt, before morning to move cars, for two attempts made in broad daylight had brought bloodshed and riot on such a scale that the local police, aided by scor«», of deputies and rinkerlon men, uad been unable to quell the disturbance. One man is iu a liospi'al seriously wounded, one of the two cars they attempted to run is wrecked in ihe gutter in a street not two blocks from the carliouse, and t.'ulley wires are cut in several places, practically crippling the road. Near the carhouses thousands of men, women and children were wrought up to a pitch of frenzy. Inside the earhouse, afraid even to look out of the grated windows, were about 75 nonunion men whom the company expected to use iu running the ears. Early yesterday there were about 150 of ilii-iii. but by nightfall G5 had deserted and joined the ranks of the strikers.

The men claim that they were brought under a misapprehension and that they supposed they were going to Philadelphia. Yesterday afternoon the police practically admitted that they were powerless to take care of the large crowds on the streets if cars wen run, and (Jeneral Manager MeXamara immediately called upoii General Oliver, in command of the Third brigade, for protection. He said: "We iniend to run out cars if it takes the entire national guard of New York stale to protect us."

General Oliver issued an order assembling at l.hoir armory last night the Tenth battalion of Albany, comprising four companies of the national guard of infantry, and the Third signal corps, mounted. General Oliver said that he would warn the remainder of fnc Third brigade to be in readiness for a call. The riot yesterday was full of exciting features.
