"What is home without ;i news-
paper?" had been asked again.
To the best of our knowledge it
is a placo where old rags are
utu -k in the Windows, eats sleep
in tin' flour barrel, chickens and
goslings parade the floor, child-
ren wipe their noses on their
sleeves, the wife chops tin wood,
milks the cow, plows the corn,
goes to mill and does hundreds of
other things, while the husband
loafs on the street corners, whit-
les on goods boxes, cries hard
times until a late h<mir, when he
gets off his perch, sneaks home
with the gable end of his trousers
ripped and raises cane with his
wife because his ancestors wore
not millionaires.— Exchange.
The Santa Anna News snys
that "Srap Juice" is a newly dis-
covered campaign whisky, made
from Texas red ants, one drink
of which will start a fight at a
funeral, or make a rabbit stand
on his hind feet and spit in the
t yo of a bull dog. It appears to
be nearly related to the "White
Mule" which Gov. Bill Sterrett
discovered up at Piano a few
years ago.—Johnson County Re-
view.
KMTOR ADVI'HTIS! K :
"The Civil Government bill,
which will come up for considera-
tion in the Senate tomorrow is an
iniquitous measure,"' said Sena-
Carmack of Tennessee, yesterday
when I asked his opinion. "As
a member of the I Miilippinos (Com-
mittee," continued the Senator,
"J have an opportunnity of listen-
ing to the testimony at first hand
and there is no ground whatever
for postponing the establishment
<if a permanent government in
the islands. Neither is it neces-
sary that a census be taken in
order that Congress may act in-
telligently. The Filipinos are an
intelligent people quite capable
of, at least, local self-government.
1 The educated pe<>ple of the islands
and l>y that term I refer to those
who can road and write Spanish,
are of a particularly high class,
many of them having enjoyed
the a Ivanta 'i'H of higher educa-
tion and tin ir fathers before them
for two hundred years. (lener-
als Mac Arthur and Whittier, I >r.
Schurman, Hon. .John Barrett,
exMini-ler to Shin, Admiral
' Dewey and the educators now in
the islands have all given testi-
mony as to the education and in-
telligence of the people an 1 have
a 1 I practically declared them
capable of representation in a
legislative assembly of their own;
and this would be particularly
true were their government to bo
organized with an upper cham-
ber, the members of which were
appointed by the President. The
claim that it is necessary to take
a census is simply a ruse to per-
mit the disposal, to favored capi-
talists, of the franchises and
grants in the islands before the
people have a voico in such dis-
position. As an example of the
methods which are being followed letter a week ago. The influence
there, the first railroad, which ; of the large corporations on the
will be bu'lt with the Filipino's Pacific slope, which feared that
money, is to be constructed from j the stricter provisions of the
Manila up to a place in the moun-, Chinese bill would necessitate
tains which will be used solely as their paying higher wages, prov-
a place of recreation by the ! ed all-sufficient to induce the re-
American residents during the
heated term. It will serve no in-
dustrial purpose whatever. It is
all distressing. The exploitation
of the islands by favored corpora-
publican senators to vote down
the bill. Senator lianna, who
announced himself as the friend
of the American working man,
repudiated the idea that they
tions, if the administration's pol-j would disapprove the action of
the Senators who favored the
1 Matt amendment substituting the
Geary law.
The Cuban reciprocity bill has
not yet passed the I louse of Rep-
resentatives. Tomorrow evening
has been set for the clone of the
general debate,—and the leaders
say that it will pass Saturday.1
That the bill will pass without,
amendment is probably a safe
j icy is successful, will be a dis-
grace to the fair name of this
country. Yes, 1 shall make a
speech on the subject, as will a
1 number of democratic senators.
"As to thu conduct of the
American troops on the islands,"
that too is a disgrace. Take the
report of the governor of Batan-
'uas in which lie shows that one-
third of the population of accli-
in the republican majority and
he replied, "We have already
converted them to 20 per cent of
our views," and that is what the
opposition fears.
The split between the President
and Congress, over constitution-
al prerogatives, which I predict-
ed weeks ago, has materialized
and a subcommittee of the House
Committee on Military Affairs is
searching the records for preced-
ents which will justify its passage,
over his veto, of some of the bills
which Mr. Roosevelt has reject-
ed. The President claims that it
not within the province of
