If there is one branch of the exec: ative administration above another that Mr. McKinley ought to excel in, it is the art of creating commissions and appointing commissioners. He has done more of this in his two years of service than any of his predecessors inafull term. All of these commissions have not turned aut to the President's entire satisfac. tion. The “Embalmed Beef” and “Filipino” commissions might be mentioned in that class. Whenever & prominent republican shows an inclination to kick over the McKinley traces, he is appointed on a commis- sion and shipped out of the country. This is usually successful, but a notable exception is that of ex- President Harrieon, who was sent tc Europe on one of these numerous sommissions recently and in an interview in the European press thus lacks the McKinley fat into the fire: “The United States have no desire for war of conquest. Their attitude is limited outside of their own boundaries to the safe-guarding of liberty. Our people are opposed to mew ventures. Ideas on colonization have been attributed to us that are not ours. America wishes to grow by expansion of her commerce, by exporting her products and not by force of arms. Our true position is $o guarantee the liberties of people, but not to dictate their laws ” Truly the commission of which Mr. Harrison is chairman is a rank failure in the eyes of the President. The city council has passed an ordinance requiring the property owners on Ohio street to curb and gutter that street in front of their respective properties, preparatory to receiving the macadam. Those who have subscribed will have the amount of their subscription deduct- ed from the cost of this work. If the subseription exceeds the work, then the balance to be applied on the macadam. We can see no ob jection to this plan, as the subscrip- tions of most of the property owners will exceed the cost of curbing and guttering. On the other hand those who have not subscribed will thus be compelled to help bear the bur- dens. We think the plan is a good ane. Jos. Benoist, a wealthy bachelor died in Kansas City Friday. His estate aggregated $115,000, seventy- two thousand of which was in cash. The will he made August Ist be- queathed his estate, with the excep- tion of a few thousand dollars to friends, to charitable institutions of Kansas City and St. Louis. He cut his relatives off with $1 each. E. S. Holmes, Jr., an expert of the statistical bureau of agriculture at Washington, has completed his report of the results of the Texas flood and places the damage at $7,414,000. The number of farms submerged is estimated at 8100, with a total area of about 1,380,000 acres. Colonel Bryan will help Judge Shackleford in the Eighth district. He has consented to make a speech at Tipton, Mo. ——_—____. Kansas had some heavy rains last week which set crops all right. Js Piacead Under Arrest. Minneapolis, Minn, Aug. 20.—A apecial to the Times from Sioux Falls, S. D., saye: Senator Pettigrew is in receipt of a cablegram dated at Nagasaki, Japan, from Dr. R. O. Warne, major and surgeon of the first regiment volunteers, which says: “Arrested by Frost for published letter.” This the culmination of the eharges made by Warne against Colonel Alfred S. Frost of the South Dakota regiment in a letter publish. ed here last month, in which Warne is referred to Frost as “g low, con-| temptible cur, looking only to his own interests; that he would gladly sacrifice every man in the regiment for a few dollars in his own pocket or a little glory for himself, and that he has no interest in the men except to use them fo: his own selfish advancement.” £ | | Last year 9 bushels of corn would buy 100 pounds of fencing wire. This year it will take 18 bushels to buy the same. Curious isn’t it, says an exchange, that prosperity works that way? Last year three bushels of wheat would buy a bale of wire. It takes six bushels now. Last year a section hand could buy a hundred pounds of wire in two days. It takes four to earn it now. Prosperity bas struck the country with great force. Freight rates, passenger rates, taxes and agricultural products as well as labor in this country have remained stationary, but manufactured goods have gone upsteadily. A rise in wage is like a patent medicine advertise- ment —it is somewhere away off. A Capital idea. It is stated that Secretary of War Roct is “studying the Philippine problem like a legal case.” This is an excellent idea Mr. Root isan astute lawyer. Why doesn’t he sue Spain and require her to deliver the Philippine goods in accordance with the bill of sale, on which we paid her $20,000,000 in good monsy? Why not secure a mandamus or something of that sort to compel Spain to make good her “defective title” to the islands? Fighting under Gen. Otis is a slow and costly pro- cess.—N. Y. World. McKinley Democrats, The few democrats who favor the murder of the Filipinos do so we suppose on the ground that we bought them from Spain for twenty million dollars and that the bogus deed gives this country the right to wallop and kill niggers, and that the latter have no rights whieh the Americans ought to respect. There is no pretense that any officer or sol dier is going to Manila to risk his life or health from patriotism, but purely for the money, or for natural love of fighting, just as they would enlist under the banner of the Sultan of Turkey to kill off bis Christian subjects whom he designates as “unbelieving dogs.” We are thank ful that the leaders of democracy whose principles are unquestioned and every democratic state or mass convention has so far denounced the war as uncalled for and unnecessar y —Benton Co. Enterprise. GOT THREE HORSE THIEVES. They Took a Farmer’s Horse and Buggy From the Rack. Clinton Democrat, William Logan, living four miles southeast of town, reported to Sher iff Callaway at 9 o’clock Tuesday night that his horse and buggy had been stolen from the rack. When he missed bis animal, Mr. Logan had done a little detective work on his own hook and founda man who had seen the Cobbs, father and two sons, driving a horse answering the description. Sheriff Callaway knew that Bob Cobb, the father, and Tom and Bill, his sans, were camping out across Grand River chopping wood on Carlisle's place. All were regarded as tough citizens and Bill is said to have served a term in the penitentiary for a burglary committed in Kansas City. | The Sheriff with Constable Jones and Mr Logan started in search of the Cobbs and spent several hours searching for their camp. Finally after midnight they found it—a structure of logs 44 feet high, about as habitable as a good sized pig pen. The Cobbs were all three sound asleep, with breaths smelling strong with alcohol. Mr. Logan’s horse was tied near by and his buggy was there. When aroused from sleep and the knowledge forced upon them that they were under arrest for horse) stealing, they gave an exhibition of profanity that was lurid and startl- ing. Then when they got tired of swearing they claimed they bought | the horse and buggy of a horse trader for $10 Witnesses will be fortheoming, | however, who saw the Cobbs tak the horse from the rack about dusk. The officsrs got their three pris- oners to town befere daylieht and they are in jail awaiting trial. One who has tried it says: Throw a bit of alum, about the size of a marble, into a small bowl of water and wet the hands and face lightly with it. Not a mosquito will ap- proach you. They will hum abouta little and disappear. This is a very simple remedy and it is worth try- ing. | i ARE ABLE TO GOVERN. Dewey Declares Demands of Filipinos Should Be Granted—War Should Be Stopped. New York, Aug 21.—A dispatch from London Daily News’ reported interview with Admiral Dewey at Naples. According to the corre- spondent Admiral Dewey began by saying that he regarded Cavite as the battle which decisively turned the fortunes of war in favor of the Americans. He added: “The Spanish ships were fought well all ths came.” The correspondent asked him if the Philippines were likely to be pacified soon. The admiral replied: ‘I have the question of the Philippines more at heart than has any other American because I know the Filipinos inti- mately and they know I am their friend. The recent insurrection is the fruit of anarchy which has so long reigned in the islands, but the insurgents will have to submit them- selves to the law after being accus- tomed to no law at all. “I believe and aflirm, nevertheless, that the Philippine question will be very shortly solved. “The Filipinos are capable of gov- erning themselves; they have all qualifications for it. It is a question of time, but the only way to settle the insurrection and assure prosper ity to the archipelago is to concede self-government to the inhabitants That would bea solution of many questions and would satisfy all, especialy the Filipinos, who believe themeseives worthy of 1t and are so “I bave never been in favor of violence toward the Filipinos The islands ure at this moment blockaded by a fleet, and war reigns in the interior This abnormal state of things should cease “I should like to see autonomy first conceded, and then annexation might be talked about. Thie is my Opinion. “T should like to see violence at Once ;} ut a stop to “According to my view, the eon- cession of self government ought to be the most just and the most logical solution ” The admiral spoke with an air of frank conviction.

VERY QUICK CHANGE Croker Said to Have Feared John C. Sheehan. New York, Aug. 17.—Richard Croker arrived at Long Branch last evening. He went to the cottage of Senator Edward Murphy. A political confereace lasting three hours was held by Mr Croker and Senator Murphy. It cleared the atmosphere and showed why Mr. Croker flopped to the standard of Mr. Bryan. Senator Murphy made clear to Mr. Croker thres months ago that to continue his fight against Bryan would mean that John C. Sheehan would be the accredited leader of the New York state demccracy ina year. Senator Murphy has been an ad- mirer of Bryan and is responsible for @roker’s suiden change on‘na tional issues. Ths fight a3 being waged by Shee han against Croker’s leadership was discussed. The fact that the Shee ban forces have gained the support of the Chicago platform democrats was made plain to Croker by Sena tor Murphy. If Sheehan is defeated in his fight against Croker and coutinues to hold the support of the Chicago platform democrats he could carry to the next democratic national con vention a contesting delegation wav- ing the banner of William J Bryan. Croker’s continued opposition to Bryan, it was pointed out would lead to the unseating of his delegation and the triumph of Sheehan. Croker wants to avert such a dan ger. Heis preparisg to pull the props from under the Sheeban move ment by showing how enthusiastic he is for the renomination of Bryan. is truth t an think. who aid a: I A few y f children, anc behind, toed top © worm active as a as blithe condition. 1 It is the unnatural « ity, the ulcerations i 1p woman's s ions Cure these all its joys cate womanly or- 1 nently avorite sands of women are witnesses to the truth gar statement. are invited to consult Dr. rge.
