This accords with intelligent American Judgment as to the meaning of the Mon roe doctrine. Its purpose is wholly de fensive. It offers no menace to any forelgn power, No laterests of European nations in this hemlsphiere are en I by it.

A British journal recently suggested that it would be well for| Britain to accept the doctrine. | Iy <he has done so and nothing is more certain than that she will never | attempt to contravene it.

According to the latest advices the band that surprised the Amerieans numbered 400 and how many | more of these guerillas there are In the islund of Sumar cannot be definitely as certained, but it is not improbable that they are numerous. It was a most unfortunate occurrence and the tirst thought regarding it is that the Americans were careless, that they did not tuke proper precautions agalust a possible surprise. But however this niay be, the elrcumstance shows that there are still dangerous bands of 1ili pinos to be dealt with, that constant vigilanee on the part of the American troops I8 necessary and that, the task of hunting down and destroying the guerilla bands is still far from finished. active POLITICAL CONDITIONS IN ORI0, The republican campaign in Ohio will open October 19, the democrats follow Ing within s, few days thereafter, so that only about two weeks of politienl work can e before the election. Re ports from the state say that the people generally are taking very lttle interest in polities and it 18 not expected that they ean be aroused in so short a cam palgn, althongh the leaders will make a strenuous effort to do so.

It will be unfor tunate if this view shall materially in terfere with getting out the republican vote in Ohlo this year, for the election is important and its result will have a great deal of influence upon the country. A governor and other state officers are to be chosen and a leglslature that will lect a sucdessor to United States Sen ator Foraker.

Chicago Tribune. The public will hear with a sigh of relfet that the threatened struggle between a local brewery and fts workmen hae been Averted On Thursday morning thirty thirsty workmen went on a strike because @ heartless employer had cut down their #upply of beer from six to five bottles dally for cach man. As one of the most eloguent | of the strikers looked at It this action was “downright cruelty.” Instead of cutting down the daily supply, he declared ft men can hardly keep the dust out of thetr throats. All sorts of boycotts and other retallatory measures wero threatened, the strikers even suggesting that if things came to the worst they might be driven to the point of drinking no beer at all. Six bot- ties a day, they declared, was the heaven born right of every man who worked in a brewery. This was a matter of principle | with them and they refused offers to corf- promise on the ground that they had noth- Ing to arbitrate and not nearly enough to| drink. Matters looked serious enough for | & time, but finally, at the expense of some diplomacy and more beer a truce was patched up R S——— FATTENING THE CONSCIENCE FUND, Quite a Lift Comes from a New Yorke Baltimore American recently recelved an en- York, which con- was a contribution to the consclence fund, and surprised the secre- tary, lnasmuch as the man who has de- frauded the government rarely gives up as much as this amount. The contrite In- dividual, who falled to sign his name, sald that he had suffered “great grief." Accre- tions are made slowly to the consclence | but it fs not yet large enough to cut much of a figure In the government's ac- counts. Putting a man on his honor in making a declaration before a customs officer as to | how much prope-ty he has brought from a land, and whether it has been bought for his own use, some people think, is an improvement on the old plan, inas- much as a discovery that he has sworn Secretary Gage velope, postmarked New tained $6,150. It and thie fact is| published to the world. The customs off- cers, however, Liave not yet complete faith in human nature, and their exposures of | smugglers show couscience-stricken people are comparatively rare. Henry Ward Beecher used to say that an oath in a court amounted to very little in restraining a bad man. A good man, he thought, would tell the truth anyhow, and the chief thing a bad man had in view in taking an oath was the fear that if he told a lle he might be punished for perjury.

The famillar phrase that “blood 1s thicker than water” has never influenced British statemanship in the slightest degree. It there is one side that has been suprems in British history it 18 the principle of national selfishness. Even love for America was never devel- oped in England until after the unity of the United States had been demonstrated beyond all possibility of doubt and until England’s tsolation fn the world pointed to the actual necessity of keeping on friend terms with this country. This fact fs not recalled with any desiro to stir up feeling agalnst Great Britain, but merely to show that the British people were not in the least moved by the "kin-over-the-sea” sen- an alllance w sarily by than the two LITTLE BITS OF STATE POLITICS.

Auburn Granger (pop.): If we may judge correctly Colonel Howard of the Columbus Telegram 1s writing himself down as a sort of basswood slab by trying to prejudice voters ugainst Judge Sedgwick, the repub Hean nominee for supreme judge, by de claring that he considers Mr. Sedgwick a dangerous man on the bench because he would favor the enforcement of the law A man with the intelligence of Mr. Howard sbould not descend to such clap-trap cain- pRign rot. Genoa Leader (Ind.): Editor Howard of the Columbus Telegram put his foot in it in great shape at the democratic state con- vention last week.

By investing | in a few blocks a populist could become a bloated bondholder and the only risk hn| would run would be the probability that his | party would take advantage of the bank- rupt law and the debt would then be can- | celed by repudiation.

But there will be an awakening some | day, and in that day Nebraska will elect | public officials who will not dare to return home to their constituents with a record of | subserviency to the corporations. There will come a limit to the audaclous work of the corporations in corrupting the legisla- | tures and courts, That limit was reached | in Towa In the early '70s, when the people threw off the cloak of indifference and elected officers who were in dead earnest in voicing the claims of the people for re- lief from corporation rule, and those offi- clals enacted what are to this day known as the “granger” laws, probably because all the farmers of the state were behind the movement. There.are many farmers in Nebraska, more farmers than Omaha lawyers and paid political servants of the ratlroad, stock yards, telephone, telegraph, insurance and express companies. And the farmers will have something to say some day regarding the laws of Nebraska. It is true that we have sometimes elected legis- latures composed largely of farmers, but it Is also true that many of them were of that class of farmers who were excellent subjects for the hypnotic influence of fusion pass-bribers and republican ofl room work- | ers.
