Washington Letter.

If Mr. McKinley has no understanding with the powers operating in China, his acticns arp difficult to explain. Although advised by some of the longest headed men in his party, including the U. S. minister to China, to take advantage of the opportunity to withdraw our troops from China, now that the American citizens who were in peril are safe, and leave those nations which are hungry for Chinese territory io settle the squabble among themselves, he hasdeclined to do so. Several days ago. when it was announced that all the troops now on the way to China would be sent to Manila,’ it was thought that he intended to follow that advice: but within forty-eight hours it has been officially announced that the troops in China would be kept there, and since then, the significant announcement was made that 'the troops which would go to Manila would not go to take the place of volunteers to be sent home, but to reinforce them, and that no troops are to be sent home until further notice. If that doesn’t indicate an intention on the part of Mr. McKinley to play a further hand in the Chinese game, what does it indicate? Now that it has been authentically announced that ex-Senator Gorman, now at Saratoga, will return to Maryland about the middle of September and take an active part in the campaign until election day, those republicans who have been actively circulating stories of his lukewarmness towards Bryan and Stevenson must feel that they are very clumsy liars. It has never been doubted in Washington that Mr. Gorman would do his full duty towards the party that has honored him in the past and that is likely to honor him in the future. Evidence continues to multiply showing that Illinois will be found in the democratic column this year. After expressing his opinion to that effect, Mr. W. H. Broad, of Chicago, said: “There are a number of reasons for believing this, but I am convinced that opposition to imperialism will have a greater influence in the undoing of the republicans than any of the issues. There is a big German vote in Illinois, especially in Chicago, and the Germans, almost to a man, are opposed to the imperialistic policy of the present administration. There is also a very bitter factional fight among Illinois republicans, and although it doesn’t come much to the surface, the feeling is so strong it will be impossible for them to make a progressive and harmonious campaign in the - state. Opposition to the trusts will also lose the republican ticket a good many votes, and with the labor troubles in Chicago and all the suffering that has resulted from them, the republican orators will find it difficult to convince the workingmen there that the country is blessed with an over-abundance of prosperity.” That the Democratic leaders are thoroughly posted on what the republicans are doing and meeting every republican move, is made apparent by the following remark of one of them: “Against the prosperity statistics which are being manufactured by the Census Bureau, we will place some hard facts which indicate that many classes of men who have to depend on their labor for a living are not prosperous. Take for instance the anthracite coal miners. The coal trust has cut down the number of work days so that miners are expected to live on three days work a week. This means that they can barely exist. In New England, some of the cotton mills are shut down and others are running on half time. The silk mills of New Jersey are running on short time, and one of the big silk manufacturing companies has, within the last week, gone into bankruptcy. We are looking for the ‘scare’ which the republicans have intimated they will give the country, that attention may be called to the money question. It may come at any time, and the small volume of trading in Wall street indicates a fear there that a money squeeze may be impending. When the west begins the moving of its crops and calls upon the East for money to do it with, and if coincidentally. a Russian or any other European loan should be placed, making drafts upon our gold supply, a very little artificial encouragement would produce the ‘scare' which I think the republicans contemplate.” Representative Van Diver, of Mo., has been investigating a cost of government by Commission, under the McKinley administration. Owing to mixed systems of bookkeeping he has only partially succeeded, but he shows that more than two and a half millions of dollars have been directly appro-

priated for commissions, not including the Postal Commission, the California Debris Commission, or the Mississippi River Commission. That the expenses of these various commissions have been much larger than the direct appropriations is certain, but the Treasury gives no details. They are included in items which *appear on the books as for “National Defence,” “Miscellaneous” and and “Emergency,” and which aggregate a total expenditure for the last fiscal year alone of within a fraction of twenty-two million. dollars.

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Thirty Years of Suffering. “I suffered for thirty years with diarrhoea and thought I was past being cured,” says John S. Halloway, of French Camp, Miss. “I had spent so much time and money and suffered so much that I had given up all hopes of recovery. I was So feeble from the effect of the diarrhoea that I cotld do no kind of labor, could not even travel, but by accident I was permitted to find a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, a»d after taking several bottles I am entirely cured of that trouble. lam so pleased with the result that I am anxious that it be in reach of all who suffer as I have."

HowTo Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT’S EMULSION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going properly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking pttlsloil You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you are thriving upon it don’t stop because the weather is warm. 50c. and sx.oo, all druggists'.SCOTT 6c BOWNE, Chemists, New York,

COMMUNICATED. A Pointer For the Advisory Board. Union Township, Ind. Aug. 28.. Mr. Editor: As our Township Advisory Board meets next Tuesday to pass on the report of our township trustee. 1 would like, f..i the members of such board? to carefully read Sections 9 and 11 of the township reform law and then enquire into the matter of our trustee letting contract for a new school building in school district No. 12 without advertising for bids as required by said section. The law also requires that the Board shall attend the letting and approve or disapprove of same. Did the Advisory Board attend this letting? Did it pass on these “bids” as required by law? The writer believes that this “contract” is null and void because none of the provisions of law as above set forth were carried out. and the Advisory Board should refuse to sanction any contracts made contrary to law. There is no better time to teach township trustees of Jasper county a lesson on observance of the law than now, and no more flagrant violation of this most admirable statute for the protection of the taxpayers has come to my notice. We cannot afford to let such open violations of law go unheeded,' and, on behalf of the taxpayers of Union township. I call the attention of our Advisory Board to this matter and trust they will do their duty as provided by the statute laid I down for their guidance and for the protection of the taxpayers. Very Truly. Union Township. .
