who expect to vole for
the re-election of President McKlnley,
but who might in some instance
be misled Into falllns out of lino
for the Republican nominee for con
gress in this district. The lime has
never been when a const essman with
postofflccs to apportion was able to
please everybody; nor Is a condition
of unrest resulting from a great labor
strike, nojv happily ended in a well
deserved victory for the tollers in our
mines, the best condition In which the
question of electing a representative In
congress may be, as it should be, ap
proached calmly, intelligently, and In
freedom from prejudlcevor bias. Yet
we believe that there Is sufficient com
mon sense Among the voters in our
county to enable the polling of a ver
dict, one week from Tuesday, which
shall represent their well considered
and thoughtful choice, expressed with
a clear view toward their own and the
countiy's best interests.
The record of William Connell In
congress covers the most eventful
period in American history since the
momentous 'days of the war for the
preservation of the Union. First elected
in 1S96, he was among those who ie
snonded to the call for an extra ses
sion of congress, and he was among
those who, In answering that call,
helped to enact the present Protective
tariff measure, which lias been the one
great Instrument of restoring industrial
activity, commercial confidence and a
solvent condition of the national reve
nue's. In the dellheiatlons of that extra
session Mr. Connell took a punctual
and faithful part. He missed no im
portant day's session: was absent nt
no Important roll-call; and by vote and
counsel did what he could. Then fol
lowed the dramatic episode ot the de
struction jr the. Mjiine, which churned
Into ,i pas-slou the popular feeling that
was already pot tending a recourse to
arms. Looking bnukwntd, who does not
see now how wise, prudent and states
manlike was tho attitude of William
McKlnley l'n resisting, ns long as he
could, the I'lnmor which sought to
plunge the nation into Immediate hos
tility without, preparation? This clamor
swept many congress-men ptf their feet.
The war-like fever look hold of Repub
licans!, as well as Democrats, until at
times It seemed that open mutiny
would follow. Theie win ono member
who kept his. head. There was one
member who never waveied In his sup
port of the ptesldeut. Then, was one
member who flatly "refused to take part
In a movement among tho Pennsylva
nia delegation to break over the tuices
and snub the chief executive by voting
to,ieaocnlze U)u (ndopepdunce of a uon
exIsU'iit "Cuban lepubilc. AVIien war
trtmo .that member did not flinch; but
Jn the heethlng-turmoil, Jiwi pilor to
ts declaration, he stood like a rock by
Jho captain In command. That man of
.loyalty was William Connell.
Circa t problems grew out of the war
and came hoforo congress for consider
ation, Thr-rq were times when the
jimiiy "column weakened and wavered;
jwlieii nijaln the standard of revolt was
llf,ted on tho Republican side. The rep
liefentutivo of tho Eleventh dlstilct
j was. not among those who had to be
Jcoaxed or pushed to 'do his duty. He
jvas present nt each emergency and his
votfTcariia without sojlcltntloii. It Is
not flattery, but justice, to call the
public's attention to these facts of rec
ord. Tho president has need of such
Mtpport n congress. It Is a body whoso
membership invariably includes some
men easily rattled, scared or led
'astray. With a margin of contiol so
, small that the slightest defection might
! at 'any time defeat the most carefully
I formulated policies ot the admlnlstra-
tlon and practically nullify the verdict
of the presidential election, It Is vitally
) Important that Republicans who ban
bo depended upon day by day and hour
, by hour should bo sent to congress to
; uphold the president and the principles
he represents. It Is not u time for ex-

tnlne-worlsprs, who emerge front a
very trying sltuntlon not only with n
substantial gain In wages but with

that the day of easy mining Is fast

troublesome powder question also
makes for the miner's peace of mind.
It should have been readjusted long
ago.
To the ollicials 0C the TTnttcd Jllne

ful generalship and prudent direction
of the larsest labor movement of Us

must not be forgotten thnl loyalty ot
following was the necessaiy comple
ment ot wise guidance. No man ever
had more faithful support from the
ranks than President Mitchell and
his various lieutenants had froml
the united mlne-woikers of Dis
trict Xo.,1, These staunch and law
abiding citizens, whose coherence was
the marvel of all beholders, really won
the s-trlke.
The Interruption of business has
been serious but by the proper spirit
of entei prise It can speedily be over

features nnd frictions of the past few
weeks and turn In with true Ameri

dawning.
Doctors know many things which
will kill the microbes of the worst

they kill the patient, too. Just like
Bryan's scheme for punishing trusts
by taking the tariff off the articles
they produce. That would end the
trusts, and also the Tabor employed
by them. The trouble must he reach

Light on Aguinaldo.
N 1IIR SPEECH at Canton on
AA'ednesdny night Secretary Root
offered some Information from
official sources bearing on the
Philippine situation which. Is new to
most persons.
It has been said by prominent op
ponents of the administration that
esuly in the Manila campaign Dewey,
Anderson, Merrltt or some other
Vmericnn ofhclal promised Aguinaldo
am! his satellites Independence. These
otl'.eer.s have all entered positive de
nial; but for those who will not be
lieve them Secretary Root produces
:i Tagalog witness. Mabini, president
of Agulnaldo's cabinet and the brains
uf the insurrection, in a document on
file at AVnshlngton, bearing date Jan.
4, 1S30, wiote In Instructions to an In
surgent secret commission:
"The chief of the Philippine people
has not made any agreement with
the government of the United States,
but inspired by the same idea of
destroying the sovereignty of Spain
in these islands, they have mutually
assisted each other."
Rut this Is not the most Imporlnnt
revelation made by tho secretary of
w'ir, It has been frequently charged
that from the first Aguinaldo plotted
to play the United States against
Spain until such time as he could fo
ment a revolution sufficient to drive
out the vlctois and set up a dictator
ship of his own. Secretary Root
pio"!s It. He rays the government
Iuir In Its possession the minutes of
ii nuciing of the Hong Kong Filipino
lunta held In Hong Kong May 4, JSftS,
four diiy.s utter the battle of Manila
bay, to discuss the propriuly of going
to Manila to worl: with Dewev: and
Agouclllo stated tho proposition In
these words;
'Thcro will be no bettor occasion
than the present for the expedition
ary forces to land on those islands
and to arm themselves at the ex
pense of the Ameiicans and assure
the attainment of our legitimate as
pirations against those very people.
The Filipino people, unprovided with
arms, will be the victim of the de
mauds and exactions of the United
States, but provided with arms will
be able to oppose themselves to them
and struggle for their independence,
in which consi&ts the true happiness
of tho 'Filipinos."
AkoucIIIo's proposition was unani
mously approved and t,he minutes of
the meeting contain thi signature of
each conspirator, AVITH AOUIK

"Of course," say.s Secretary Root,
"our forces were Ignorant then of the
order and of the purpose, but they
observed nil ovr Manila Filipinos
packing their 'goods and gntheilng
their families and quietly sllppltiB
away from the city. They left by the
thousands, and they left because they
had notice of the proposed attack.
One notification, signed by Aguinaldo,
hAs fallen Into our hands, it Is to n
friend in Manila, doted on the 7th of
January, ISSfl, four weeks before the
nttack, and In It he says:
"My Deai' Don Dentin:
"1 Ijpj: joii lo !eae .Manila with your fain.
Ily and to mm" litre to Mabdoi, hut not beiauie
I wMi to (lighten you-1 merely wish to warn
joii for .oiir i.ilisf.irlinn. .itthomdi it li not
Jet the day m tho Hoi!;."
"The day was not then, but It came
on the 4th of February when a body
of Filipino troops marched under
cover of night, swiftly and silently,
thiough our lines, regardless of tho
sentry's challenge, and. when he fired,
volleys of musketry and roar of can
non upon every side commenced the
ptoponed destruction of our army.
The bodies of our men who fell dur
ing that dreadful night and the days
of cnntllct which followed have been
brought back leverently across the
Pacific and laid in honored graves
among their countrymen. Rut, not
yet--not yet has the soil stained by
their blood Lven surrendered to their
slayeis. Not yet has the treacherous
and wicked attack-, which they died
to defeat, been turned into victory by
the act of an American nresldent."
One ltirther document deserves to be
lecoidcd in this connection. Jt sheds
light upon the motive behind the pro
longed guerrilla resistance of Aguln
aldo's remaining following:
GENERAL ORDER TO THE PHIL
IPPINE ARMY, NO. 202.
As I have in previous letters direct
ed that all commanders of guerril
las are free to attack any detachment
or post of the enemy, and continually
molest the same: I reiterate the order
the more strongly, because its fulfill
ment just now is very necessary for
the advantage of the cause of inde
pendence of the Philippines in the
approaching presidential eleotion in
the United States of America, which
takes place in the early part of the
coming month of September of the
present year; on account of which it
is imperative that before that day
comes, that is to say, during the
months of June, July and August,
we give such hard knocks to the
Americans that they will resound in
our favor in all parts, and set.in mo
tion the fall of the Imperialist party,
which is trying to enslave us.
